tween Eddie Ketchell of New York
and Harry Bramer at Tonopah on
the Fourth of July ended in the sixth
round. when the referee awarded the
decision to Bramer on a foul. A
moment later he reversed the de-
cision. declaring the fight no contest.
A disturbance which called for police
interference followed. The sports
had their money on Ketchell and they
hollered strong enough to get a no
decision contest.

FOOD PRICES At TON0pAH
WILL NOT Be RAISED

Tonopah correspondence Reno Ga
zette: The restaurant keepers
changed their mind when they were
told that the mine operators had
called for bids for the construction
of boarding houses at central points
in Tonopah and the Divide, with the
intention of reducing the cost of eats
to their employees, and withdraw
from the plan to advance prices from
$40 to $50 per month for two meals
and a paper bag lunch each day.
Neither will they insist on collecting
65 cents for ham and eggs with Is
cents extra for every extra egg.
They will contine to dispense this
necessity at the former rate of as
cents. Hot cakes and coffee will re-
main at the two bit standard instead
of soaring to 40 cents.
The association of restaurant men
had gone to considerable expense in
printing complete new bills of fare
which were displayed for the first
time on the first of the month. The
old menus were destroyed and a new
set will have to be struck off. This
change of heart may preclude carry
ing out plans of the mine operators
although tits asserted in inside circles
that the company store will be intro
duced so that miners with families
may receive the benefit of low prices.
By this plan it is proposed to bring
in fresh meats and vegetables by the
carload for the use Of the miners of
Tonopah and Goldfield who would
have the best the market affords for
about 80 per cent lower than what
they are now paying.

BIG RENO GAMBLERS
SPILL THE BEANS

Whoever it was coined the old adage
about history repeating itself wasn't
so slow. The truth of the statement
cropped up in Reno this week. says
the Gazette. when Attorney-G General
Fowler stepped in and put quietus
on the numerous gambling games
that have been operating in full blast
in Reno for, 10. these many. many
moons. Of course il does not appear
on the surface whos was responsible
for the sudden ster taken by the At
torney- General. district Attorney
and Sheriff. but it is rum red that
the storm broke only after he heads
of some of Reno's most ,minent
and popular gambling r, orts had
made an effort to opera.e certain
gambling devices specifically placed
on the tabooed list by the anti-gam-
bling law and. failing in that. they
voiced a protest at certain games it
was proposed to operate in ''Stin-
garee Gulch" in connection with the
rodeo show. This started the fire.
works in another direction and re-
suited in the sweering order issued
at the direction Of the Attorney
General.
1t was direct repetition of what
led to the adoption of the present
prohibition Act in Nevada. About
the only thing that the prohibition
supporters desired was to wipe out
the saloons and brothel houses where
liquor was sold indiscriminately to
men, women. and minors. Compro-
mises were offered while the Legis-
lature was in session and the proposal
made whereby the liquor industry
wo uld be regulated, 'yould be
handled under local option or the
number of saloons limited. But all
offers at a compromise were rejected
by the liquor interests. They were
confident of beating the prohibition
Act because of its drastic provisions.
The result was that the prohibition
Act was adopted by large vote.
In the present instance it is doubt
ful if any very serious action would
have been taken by peace officers to
curb gambling despite the fact that
it has been going on rampant and in
the open for some time. had the
gambling fraternity not aroused
public indignation by interfering in
harmless games conducted solely for
amusement.
1t has been predicted that the At
torney-G General will haye hard time
enforcing his mo gambling" edict
in southern Nevada cities. He states,
however, that in case any county
peace officers refuse to proceed along
the lines directed by him he will take
over the situation with the assistance
of the State Police and direct prose-
cutions himself. 1t is doubtful. how
ever, if any District Attorneys or
Sheriffs will refuse to obey the At
torney-General's directions. Some
of them, however. may be inclined
to squint at violations of the law.

AUTO DISPLAYS
TO Be RESUMED
Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce Decides to Re
vive Prewar Shows.

At a general meeting of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce in New York yesterday. pre-
sided over by Hugh Chalmers, vice
president, the reasons for the aban-
donment of the national shows this
winter and the events leading up TO
the promotion Of local shows at New
York and Chicago were explained In
detail. The manufacturers decided by
a unanimous vote to resume the pro-
motion Of national passenger car
shows and. subject to the decision
of a meeting of truck makers later
in the day. OF national truck shows
also. At the afternoon meeting the
question OF truck shows was debated
at great length and the truck MEM
bers voted unanimously lin favor of
them, provided they can be held at
the same time as the passenger car
shows.
At each meeting the question Of
closer cooperation by and with the
dealers associations was discussed.
The directors probably will act upon
this suggestion at their April meeting.
Trade reports indicated that the
makers are fast coming back into pro-
duction, carload shipments for Feb
ruary being approximately 1900, a
substantial increase over the 1900
carloads shipped in February last
year.

Aud. There seems to be Il wide
spread opinion that the tax does not
apply to this class of residents. The
salaries of State officials and en-
ployes are exempt. but the eXemp-
tion does not extend to employees OF
the United States government, and
as District employees are paid under
the half-and- half plan, the Treasury
Department has ruled that they also

We must not lag behind.

THE ETERNAL GRANDMOTHER

TT HAS finally sunk into our conscious
= ness-modern historians have seen to
that-that Washington did not alwavs
hold the constitution of the United States
in one hand and sword in the other
We know also that he swore roundlv at
Charles Lee at Monmouth, that he was a
wretched speller and, well-tust human.
Kings and queens seemed less ADAPTED
to "realstic" treatment. Huck, Tom and
Miss Watson's Jim decided that thew
wore crowns and Just hoped around"
Some of them did more, and that, as
rule, made matters worse. Furthermore
pomposity always did make Americans
tired.
But most of us do like grandmothers,
and when the queen dowager of Great
Britain writes Mr.. Wilson that she is
glad he could spare moment to see
my &precious grandson" a mood much
