the peace conference. at Versailles
with the congress Of Vienna, Pres.-
dent Wilson declared in an address
here tonight that the Vienna peace
effort had failed because all Of the
governments represented there we.e
in the hands Of a small coterie OF
autocrats.
Al Versailles. said the President.
the League Of Nations covenant was
drawn up by great democraciss 10
that autocracies never again could
enslave the peoples Of the world
One Of the purposes Of the Vienna
conference, Mr. Wilson asserted was
10 form such a union a. would no d
in check the growing tide Of demo-
crazy. The chief concern Of the
delegates who sat at Versailles. he
added. was to accomplish exactly the
opposite.
crowd Of about 1000 the President
frequently was interrupted by ap.
plause. BY an electrical device his
words were carried to three other
other theatres holding 1000 persons
each.
The President was welcomed to
Reno by crowds which cheered him
at the railway station and along the
line Of short automobile ride. Gov.
Boyle presided at the meeting and
Mr.. Wilson was introduced by Char
les Chandler. a Republican LAWYER,
who said he denied the right Of a
few prominent senators" to commit
the Republican party TO opposition Of
the peace treaty. The treaty. he de-
clared. contains "good Republican
doctrines"
The crowd cheered when the Presi-
dent was introduced and there was
a demonstration for Mrs. Wilson.
when Mr.. Chandler mentioned her
name.

mother, that they could attend high

friends who will dislike seeing them
leave, but it is compulsory owing to
the shut down of the antimony COM
pany, due to the recent downfall in

LEMON EXTRACT IS
CLASSfD AS BOOZE

Housewives will not be permitted to
buy many of their favorite favoring
extracts at grocery stores, because of
the prohibition law. In the opinion of
the attorney-general they contain too
much alcohol, and they come under
the ban. Following is his opinion.
rendered at the request of Senator
Summerfield of Mineral county:
Hon. s. NJ. Summerfield, State Sen
ator, Carson City, Nevada: Dear Sir
The Nevada prohibition law limits the
sale of preparations containing a con-
siderable percentage of alcohol to
druggists. Therefore favoring ex-
tracts, which always contain a high
percentage of alcohol, may not be sold
by other merchants.
"The people of this State, in adopt
ing the prohibition act, were probably
unaware that they were voting. to
make this restriction. l am, however.
unable to find any opening that will
permit different construction of the
act as to the question propounded by
you other than is herein given.
Very truly yours,

LANDER COUNTY Is DIVIDED
IN MATTER OF COUNTY SEAT

A special from Carson City to the
Reno Gazette says: Delegations from
Lander county are expected in Carson
next week to lobby for and against
bill which will be introduced pro-
viding for removal of the county seat
from Austin to Battle Mountain. 1t is
said that a very bitter legislative en-
broglio is bound to ensue between res
idents of the northern and southern
ends of the county.
There has been a sharp division be-
tween the two sections of Lander
county for many years and it has been
carried into various elections. Resi-
dents of Austin and vicinity will OPP
pose the contemplated move, and Bat
tie Mountain people are prepared to
show cause why that place should be
made the seat of county government.

HONOR CONFERRED ON ABLE
NEWSPAPER MAN OF TONOPAH

Vail Pittman, manager of the Tono-

where he will sit as delegate at the
annual meeting of assayers of the
United States. He expects to be abb
sent about three weeks. Mr.. Pittman
was appointed as representative for
the State of Nevada to this gathering
by President Wilson, upon recommen-
dation of Ray T. Baker, director of
United States mints. The honor was
we'll bestowed, and while it is not
known what subjects will be brought
up for discussion it is believed that
the meeting will have reference to
mining so far as it applies to the
mints in the purchase of bullion

SENTENCE DAY IN DISTRICT
COURT MUNAZ NOT GUILTY

At 2:07 o'clock this afternoon the
jury in the case of Wenseslao Munaz,
charged with felonious assault and
intent to kill, returned to the district
court room with a verdict OF not
guilty. This disposes of the last of
the criminal cases to be tried at this
term of court. Civil cases have been
moved up two days on the calendar.
Later in the afternoon Judge Gala
han will sentence Emiliano Murios,
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree; Dick Roach. who was found
guilty of violating the prohibition law,
and Pearl Lovelack, convicted of for
gerry. Much qualification is expressed
by lawyers at the speed with which
business is being transacted.
Half a dozed jurors were excused
for the term yesterday afternoon, and
it is thought more are to be permitted
to return home this evening.
