md sufficient reason for deferred clas- 7ification
 From the night Kearns and Demp- sey appeared at the hall of justice l lid not see them until the evening that Dempsey boxed Willie Meehan here for a war fund. I was curious then to see Dempsey, for he had become very we'll known for his ring work during Kearns his eastern trip. I have nos seen Kearns or Dempsev since then, and I doubt if I would know Kearns f l met him again.
 Dempsey was and is in no sense a stacker or draft do~ ger. If the gov ernment as represented bv me as chair man of the local exemption board 13 did not see fit to call upon him for military duty, his position in the mat ter cannot be questioned.
 ''I may add that the fact that Demp- sey was able to get bv John s. Hogan is. in the eyes of any of the boys who passed through board 13. proof that his claims were just and valid. I had the reputation the bows void me. of recog- nizing. both in spirit and to the letter, that the government had anpointed me to secure as many military eligibles as possible and I believe I did The Ho- ganizing process of board IS was by word around the hail of justice.
 The fact that Jack Dempsey was not taken in the draft after registering with my board absolves- him and his war record from any blame or censure

WASHINGTON AND
 LEE ALUMNI ID MEET
Campaign for Endowment Fund for University to
 Be Launched Here

Washington and Lee University Lex ington, Va, one of the few great col leges of~the south having no financial support from state or religious organiza- tions, is preparing a campaign to increase it's endowment fund and has set the mil lion mark for the work in 1920
 The general educational board. a branch of the Rockefeller foundation, has been so impressed by the great work done at this institution that it has voluntarily offered to match, dollar for dollar, every cent the friends of 'The Generals will raise.
 Howard l.. Hall, financial executive sec retary of the endowment campaign, is in Birmingham conferring with Washington and Lee alumni here, among whom are many of Birmingham's most prominent men. The first conference has been called for o'clock this afternoon and wll be held In Room 915. Brown-Marx building.
 At this meeting the time for putting the campaign here in operation is to be determined; to appoint a chairman and executive committee of the work in Bir- ningham and to attend to other details of the measure. All alumni of the great institution are urged to attend
 Birmingham's quota of the s1 ,000000 to be raised this year is but $50009:
 MT. Hall has already conferred witf several prominent w. & L. men here and I'll are interested in the movement. He says there is no doubt that Birmingham will respond readily to the work in hand
 To continue the development of the uni versity along the lines it has been grow ing Washington and Lee University is in need of $5,000,0 GOO. It is expected that the alumni will raise $l 00o,000 of this sum sppreeiative citizens of the south another million, and later campaign will bring in other funds so that the Rockefeller offer will materialize in more than 5000 000 for the endowment

LAND GIRLS WILL STAY
Britain's Knee-Smocked Women Want
Their Own Farms.

Britain's land girls, war emer-
gency corps, will remain. The knee
shocked, vigorous type of womanhood
who helped increase the nations food
supply want to remain on the land,
and the government is not Objecting.
Most of the 5000 members Of the
corps, still undemobilized, want little
farms of their own, because of the in
dependence it gives.
Thus, Phyllis, with her ruddy, open
air face, will still get about her farm
yard duties in SLOUGH hat, corduroy
boomers, leggins and yellow smock,
knowing she is no blot on the land
scape.
Land girls invariably are married
in their work costumes, for they know
they are becoming.

OLD RESIDENT
ADJUDGED INSANE

last Saturday to examine A. Summer
field for sanity. For the past two
years Mr.. Sumerfield has not been
in his right mind, his memorp being
entirely blank. Alter the examina-
ton, he was committed to the hos
pital for mental diseases in Reno, to
which institution he was taken last
Sunday
To those of us who remember the
keen business acumen and the alert
brain of Summerfield few years ago
it is pitiful, indeed, to see him such
a complete mental wreck. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful whether medical
attention can restore his shattered
faculties, owing to his advanced age.
He is 70 years old.-Walker Lake

THOMAS B. R|CKEY
DIES IN OAKLAND

Thomas B. Hickey former presi-
dent of the State Bank & Trust COM
pany, which failed on October 3, 1907,
died this morning at his home in Oak
land where he has been living since
leaving Nevada soon after the failure
Of his string OF banks. Mr.. Hickey
was eighty-four years old. He leaves
a widow, two daughters and two
grand children in Oakland and two
rand-children, Sylvia and Roy Gro
we'll in Carson City.
Mr.. Hickey came to Nevada in 1859
and was for some years known as
the cattle king of Nevada. He ac-
companied his parents across the
plains in 1852 from Ohio, his birth
place, and engaged for time in min
ing. Amador County, California He
came to Nevada to engage in the
stock business and owned extensive
interests in Antelope Valley in Al
pine county, California and in Long
Valley and at one time it was said he
owned over 100000 acres OF land. He
made his home in Carson City up to
the time OF the failure of the State
Bank & Trust Company.
The failure of the Hickey banks
during the panic of 1907 precipitated
closing of all banks in the state tenn
porarily with the Nye and Ormsby
county banks failing few days later.
The State Bank & Trust Comapny
had banks at Carson City. Tonopah,
Coldfield, Manhattan and Blair.

THE COAL NINE
LOOKING FINE

Harry Lewis, who recently bond
ed his coal property in Mineral coun-
ty to the Nevada Coal & Oil COM
pany was in town Wednesday. He
reports that the shaft has been sunk
to depth of so feet and that six feet
of good bituminous coal is exposed.
The company is negotiating for
hoist and contemplates sinking a new
shaft half mile west of the present
workings. The shaft will be sunk till
it reaches the vein, probably to a
depth of 500 feet Then it is the in
tention Of the company to drift east
on the ledge, hosting the coal to the
surface and leaving the waste in the
mine to fill Slopes, ETC. By this me-
thod the work will be prosecuted at
much less expense than if large
quantity of waste had to be handled
and hoisted.
Mr.. Lewis is very cheerful over the
outlook and predicts that before long
East Walker river coal mining will
prove to be one of the States chief
industries.
