SHORT JAIL TERMS
FOR BOOZE RUNNERS

G.. E. Robins, who returned Tuesday
afternoon from Carson City, brought
word that his clients, Domingo Stain
Jesus Aranguena and Saturnino AL
corta, had entered pleas of guilty, be-
fore the federal court, to a charge Of
illegally transporting intoxicating Ii
quors. The men were arrested last
spring at Sulphur with two automo-
bile loads of booze. said to have been
purchased in California. Judge Far
rington sentenced each to serve forty
days in the Humboldt county Jail and
to pay fines of $3.50 and costs. They
are now in Jail here serving the time
stated.
Larry Aranguena, also of this city
arrested early this month after hav-
ing been indicted by the federal grand
jury for completely in the violation,
will stand trial, according to Attorney
Robins. 1t is understood that his al
legged part in the matter was in the
purchase of the liquor in California.
His trial will commence next Monday
morning before a jury in the federal
court at Carson City. The maximum
sentence is Imprisonment for one
years and $1,000 fine.
Interesting to Winnemucca people
is the fact that Carl Schmidt, form
erly of this city and now a resident
of Susanville. is among the federal
jurymen who will hear the case.

BOYLE TALKS Of CALL
FOR A CONFERENCE

Governor Boyle discussed the com
ing State industrial conference and
the extraordinary session of the Leg
islature with a correspondent of the
Reno Gazette. in Carson City yester-
day, and explained his intentions. The
correspondent reports the Governor
as follows:
The first problem that will be
taken care of will be the call for the
State Industrial conference in Reno
about November TO-" said the Gov
ernor. "As the call for a special SEES
sion is as much to consider labor,
capital and industrial difficulties as
anything else, the outline of work
will undoubtedly come from this con-
ference.
The conference has been planned
to represent not labor alone, but the
other side of the question as well.
Operators must be considered as well
as labor, as without n the other can
not exist, and 1t works both ways. AT
the present time the main industry OF
this State is mining, and mining in
Nevada is practically in the hands OF
twenty men, who have an association
and who could, should they be pressed
to the limit, shut down practically
every going concern. 1t is to adjust
the differences between these two
elements, both essential to the other.
that the conference is to be called.
ut is intended that labor of every
character shall be represented, and
labor's organizations have been asked
to nominate representatives to the
conference. 1t is also intended to
have the operators as thoroughly rep
resented as the employees. To this
effect I am preparing a brief of the
situation as it has been found in Ne
vada during the past several months,
and this is to be forwarded to the
mining heads, both within the State
and outside.
Pending the action of the confer
ence, the date of the session of the
Legislature will not be determined.
Through the aid of the State Bar AS
ISOLATION, the labor unions, the OPP
Grating heads, and the ~tradesmen, It
is hoped to line up legislation that
will cover the needs of the situation.
II hardly believe that taxation will
have to be considered at a special
session, but undoubtedly the para
mount problem for today is lack of
efficient laws both for labor and capt.
tai. The date Of the extra session
depends largely on the result of the
called conference" :

$40 TARGETS USED
IN POLICE PRACTICE

A mighty interesting story about
activities of the State police in de-
stroying booze is told by the Carson
City News of yesterday morning. The
story, in fact, is interesting in more
ways than one. And yet, when read
ing it, one can scarcely refrain from
considering the remark of the little
Sunday school girl when she was told
the story of Pharaoh's daughter find
ing little Moses in the bullrushes.
However. that a another story.
Here's the one the News printed:
Pistol practice where the targets
used are worth about $40 each at cur
rent prices-and ruined for all time
when a bullseeye is scored-is not
likely to be at all common in Nevada
or elsewhere. But, according to GER
tain stories coming up from the South.
members of the State police and will
ing assistants INDUCED in that kind
of luxurious sport near Tonopah last
Sunday.
And, further. the usual terms of
dryness in connection with a desert
were scarcely applicable to that par
ticular section of the State when a
very small area of soil absorbed be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 worth of mois
ture - again considering prevailing
prices.
Last Thursday, according to these
stories, members of the State police
caught Nick Ableman and Curly Ora
ham with the goods" the latter con-
sisting of t~hirty-five potato sacks
filled with pint bottles of whisky that
had probably been struggled into the
State from California. The police
were interested in a second automo-
bile that had been broken down in the
capture of Ableman and Graham, and
after they had taken care of their
prisoners and booty they started out
in search of the other machine and
it's suspected load"
About fifty miles from Tonopah,
$2400 worth of whisky that had been
removed from the damaged auto and
secreted, was found. 1t was hauled
to the Nye county metropolis and
stored in Jail. AS no one appeared
to make claim to the booze, it was
ordered destroyed by the court.
Accordingly, the supply of wet
goods was taken to a point about
three miles from Tonopah, the jugs
or bottles broken and the contents
allowed to disappear into the desert.
1t is reported that many of the large
containers were placed on posts and
used as targets by men who wished
to test their craftsmanship. And
some of the tales of perfect scores at
long range almost prompt the curl
Gus to inquire what brand it could
have been-to produce after-effects of
such long duration-from nothing but
a Whit waited on the desert air!
Saloonkeepers, who were the chief
mourners present, are said to have
been greatly saddened at the disre-
spect of the police and their COM
panions when they buried old John
B%arleycorn.
Probably the booze had to be taken
three miles into the desert so that
the odor would not distract citizens
of Tonopah. But it is strange how
those posts were found sticking up
and all ready for the marksmen. The
story does not say whether the sa-
l~oonkeepers wore mourning clothes
or carried flowers.

a hardfought struggle all the way,
both players exhibiting excellent skill
with the racket
Several other matches were to have
been played at the Columbia Club, but
the courts were in poor condition be-
cause Of the Indictment weather, and
the matches were postponed Some of
these will be played to-day if the
courts arc in good condition.
Unusual interest is being shown in
the tournament this year, as is evil
denced by the fact that eighty ight
entries have been received. This is Il
record, and means that several matches
will have TO be played each day to
have the tourney ended on, scheduled

At the meeting there were represent
atives from the Argentine Republic,
Belgium Holland, Denmark, Finland,
France, Great Britain. Norway Sweden,
Spain and Switzerland. Practically all
of these countries adopted the old in

that Germany, which formerly raced
under the rule, did not attend the con-
ference. The conference adopted a
tional rule. and decided that it would
be in force for six years, starting from

The steady drift of the yachting
word toward craft driven by heavy oil
engines instead of the fashioned
steam yacht was again illustrated dur
ing the past week by the placing Of an
order for plans by a prominent New
York yachtsman for a 150-foot craft
with Seabury ! de Zafra, Inc. The pre-
limlnary plans show steel yeacht

Here were five 3's within eight holes

Such fine profession as Walter
Hagen and Jim Barnes will come
nearer playing between 70 and "a than
any one else, barring possibly Chick
Evans, who is q wonder on the 10 to n
route.
But when it comes to matter Of
falling heir to IAN uncanny streak, Fran
els Ouimet seems to have something OH
the field.
in these rounds he may not get as
many par holes as Hagen. Evans or
Barnes.
But once under full steam he is more
likely to drop below par for certain
distance.
Three Examples
We have three unusual examples in
mind. The first was at Baltusrol some
met Travcrs and Kirby. They had bat
tied evenly in The morning round, but
starting the afternoon jaunt Ouimct
came upon one of those amazing out
breaks that broke up the match.
The first hole at Baltusrol is 465
yards in lengtha par 5. Ouimct put
his second shot IL feet from the cup
and hit the tin for 3, the ball pop
ping out. But he got his 4.
The second hole is $50 y<~ds. Here
his mashie shot dropped f,er from the
cup and he had his ..
The third hole, 100 yards, found
his mashie pitch feet from the cup
with 81 resulting 2.
The fourth hole, 5O5 yards, and one
of the hardest in the country, yielded
him a. He drove the next green, $50
yards away, and got his g. So his
score for the first five holes Of the
match was 49, 4-3--no less than
five under par. By this time he and
Guilford were 5 up and the battle was
over. Travers and Kirkby had played
every hole in par without even getting
a half. No wonder they broke before
this hcart-craclSing pace.
1t was & remarkable exhibition. fol
every shot played was dead upon the
pin.
