PINK BALLOONS IN
FIRST BAL MASQl'

For the first time in several months.
dance was given in Winnemucca
last night, under auspices of the
Women's Relief Association of the
Lady Maccabees. Commencing a lit
tie after nine o'clock in the Nixon
Opera House, there was no letup of
enthusiasm and joy until two o'cl Y
this morning, and then there we
plenty of terpsichorean devotees on
hand to help turn out the lights.
Events proved the hard work of the
committee in charge during the past
several weeks, everything transpiring
with bang from start to finish. The
committee consisted of Bernice w.
Smith, chairman; Anne Mackay, Clara
Bonnifield, Lucy Born, Hazel Rollins
and Kate Germain, according to the
way their names appear in Maccabee
records.
Besides crowded dancing floor, the
balcony of the opera house was well
filled with spectators. Figures are
not available, but that the dance was
big financial success is a foregone
conclusion. 1t was the Women's Re-
lief Associations regular yearly dance
for the purpose of raising funds to
continue relief work among sister
Maccabees in distress. 1t has been
considered the big social event of the
winter season for some years.

The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1919-01-25

There is much enthusiasm in Win
nemucca today over the fact that the
agitation for removal of the State
capital to this town has come up
again, this time principally upon the
initiative of Elko county, which was
instrumental in defeating the removal
plan when 1t was before the Legisla-
ture a few years ago. Both Elko
newspapers have declared unquali-
fiedly for Winnemucca. At the same
time it is sad to relate that the Reno
Gazette of yesterday, in sarcastic
editorial, compared the county seat Of
Humboldt to the ghost city" of Au-
rora, and intimated that this prosper
Gus city wanted the capital for the
same reason Aurora might want it
to save us from decay and death!
Already active workers are promis-
ing what may be accomplished at the
present legislative session, if Winnie
mucca again goes to work determin-
edly to secure the capital. A public
meeting is planned for next Tuesday,
to take definite action. and 1t is pro-
posed to send big delegation to Car
son City to present the claims of this
portion of the State.
Carson City "got busy" before the
Legislature convened, and has propo-
sitions ready for enlargements of the
old capitol building and additions to
the State orphanage. That. of course,
was all part of the plan to keep
the capital at Carson, where, distinct
ly, IL does not belong. Reno is In
favor of the present location. because
Carson is virtually suburb OF the
metropolis; but Reno must, sooner or
later, consider the State as whole,
or she will receive what the dog in
the manger" deserves.
Winnemucca is the important town
nearest the industrial center" OF the
State. For Tonopah and Goldfeld IL
is as convenient as Carson City. For
Ely, Austin, Eureka. Fallon. and such
towns, 1t is immensely preferable.
Two railroads serve Winnemucca-
and the service is good. the best for
all parts of the State.
Winnemucca and Elko counties are
depended upon by the State for its
financial support, and they are firm
in the opinion that the capital OF Ne
vada should not longer remain in an
out-of-the-way place, reached by a.
stub-line railroad.
Many sites for the capitol, should
II be established here. have been of
fered by Winnemucca land owners. as
pure gifts. There is no doubt Hum
boldt county stands ready to pay half
the expense of moving the capital In
the light of these facts and others
would ii not be poor business to spend

man of the Republican national COM
mittee, letter refuting a recent
statement credited TO Senator Will

latter is said to have claimed there
is no sentiment in the West favorable
to the proposed league of nations
Mr. Coffman states in his letter
that in reply to a long list of letters
which recently he mailed to promi.
nent men, residents of the state of
Washington. including business ana
professional men of various kinds,
bankers, newspaper publishers. edi-
tors, attorneys, clergymen and 9TH
ers, the ersponse has been almost
wholly unanimous favoring the league
of nations.
The men addressed were asked to
make personal inquiry in their re-
spective neighborhoods among their
fellow townsmen as to Whit the latter
think of the league of nations, and
from the replies that have been re-
ceived there is no question but that
a large majority are favorable to the
league.
Prominent citizens of Seattle. Spo-

Bellingham. Aberdeen, Hoquiam,
Yakima and all the principal cities
of the state are quoted in the CORE

Many of the men replying are very
active in the Republican party and

party's future if the league plan is
not ratified by the senate, now in
session, the letter says.

To date, despite the efforts Of the
police and the county authorities,
there is no clear story of the in
cdents leading up to the actual
death of Burns in room 5, $50 South
Montana street. All that is known
is that since Burns weaned the
woman known as Miss Clarke to
some, as Mrs, Burns to others, away
from her husband and forced her
into life of disrepute, he has led
her a vertiable dogs life, frequent
beatings and frequent appearances in
police court, being her lot.
Miss Clarke, or Mrs. Burns, is said
the place at 3:55 o'clock this morn
ing, to have admitted that she killed
Burns. But Miss Clarke now denies
that she made any such admissions
and asserts to the authorities that
Burns killed himself; stabbed him
self with butcher knife, which, red
with the known macque's blood, re-
poses at police headquarters pend
ing the time when it will be used in
evidence at the trial
Investigations set on foot this
morning by the Bulletin. coupled
with what is known to the police,
indicate that in the death of Burns
justice has had an inning. OF the
hundreds of alleged men who have
been brought into the Butte police
court for brutalities toward women
eff whose earnings they have lived,
the reputation of Burns, according
to police officials, is one of the
worst.
His past record, according to in
vestigations of the Bulletin, shows
that ne is a notorious strikebreaker
and scab, who, previous to his entry
into Butte, had scabbed during the
various miners strikes in Colorado
within the last two decades and had
written for himself an unenviable
reputation.
At Telluride, some years ago, it
has been ascertained. Burns not only
scabbed on the strikers there, but
finally wound up his infamous
career there by eloping from that
city with the wife OF a wellknown
