ELK0 THIEF JAILED
BY FINGER PRINTS

The depot hotel at Elko was broken
into last Friday night, the robber
gaining an entrance by means Of a
ladder, climbing through an upper
window, after breaking the glass.
After ransacking the living rooms of
the proprietor, Joe Fratini, securing
SIS in money and three watches, two
gold rings, gold bracelet, three Lib
erty bonds of 5000 and a six-shooter,
he made his escape without arousing
the inmates, and the robbery was not
discovered until next morning, says
the Elko Free Press.
When the officers were notified they
looked over the scene and found that
the robber, when breaking out the
window lights, had left many finger
prints on the glass. These were taken
up to the sherif's office by Under
Sheriff Lamon, who enlarged them
and soo located the owner among
among the anne listed in his collec-
ton, which contained a description of
the man, together with his various
aliases. kilograms were sent out and
before night the nan was appre-
hended at Wells by Constable Nc
Coombs and brought back to town.
He gave the name of Hugo Kelley,
and claimed to be a prize fighter, but
his record, a long one, shows that he
was sent up from Reno on August %,
1915, and served time in the Nevada
state penitentiary under the name of
Tony Vittucci; served a term in the
San Quentin prision under the name
of Frank Falsetti and also served a
term at Stockton.

CENT BONUS
ENDS IN T0N0PAH

BY a vote of twelve to eight the
executive committee OF the Mine OPP
orators Association Of Tonopah have
decided to accept the report of Fed
eral Mediator Joseph Lord and drop
the fifty cen bonus, which has been
paid to the men under the agreement
entered into on November s. when the
strike ended. The bonus will be
suspended February s. Under the
agreement the operators were to es-
tablish a commissary and after it had
been established the federal media
tor was to determine if it was operat-
ing properly. and if he found it was.
he was to make a report and the fifty
cen bonus was to be automatically
dropped.

articles on account of shortage OF
raw material. The chief factor is now
that of under-production, and an
authority on the textile industry gives
his opinion that the operatives are
not inclined to speed up production
owing to the false impression that
with goods selling at lower prices, it
would result in lower wages for them.
To d%isillusion the workers on this
point is apparently the next step to-
ward lowering prices.
The consumption OF wool in Deem
Der increased 100000 o pounds tc
81. 900 pounds, according to the
monthly report issued by the Bureau
of Markets. The demand for fabrics
made from the finer woods showed
thirty-four per cent of the total con-
sumption used in this connection.

DEMAND CONTINUES
FOR FINER WOODS

The demand for fine woods in the
Boston wool market continues. Con.
sequently. prices remain at the ex.
tremely high level that has BEEF
maintained for such a long time. A
market in medium woods does not
manifest itself very readily, and lit
tie more than inquiries seem to be
in evidence. Dealers r%etiterate thai
until the public demands goods OF
coarser material there will be little
or no business transacted in medium
grades.
General conditions appear more
hopeful, however, and the trade no
tees a certain falling off in the pur-
chasing of fine materials, by the one
time support of that market. Until
the last year or two, only so-called
wealthy constituted the market for
such goods, but this element has now
ceased buying. and the market is sus-
tanned by those who have made
during the war. Not, however
until the majority of the purchasing
public refuses to support the manu-
facture of fine clothing at excessively
high prices, to the exclusion of the
medium and coarser grades, by an
absolute refusal to buy the former
can lower prices be expected.
At the sale of Australasian woods
held by the Committee of London
Wool Brokers IN January 81. several
lots of crossbreds were withdrawn.
1t is now the intention of the COM
acting on instruction from the
government, to reoffer these
lots on February 5. 1t is thought that
bidders VIII have an opportunity tC
obtain them at very attractive prices
Tor it does not appear to be the OBJ
iect of the British government to hold
up values. On the contrary, its eff
fort is to relieve the seeming wool
shortage all over the world by acced.

Of various countries where wool is
and have the wool shipped
1irect from Australia and New Yea
and to the purchasing center, instead
If holding all the sales in England,
where buyers possibly would have to
wait months before they could get
heir wool shipped. Transportation
ABILITIES in England are clogged, and
Attest reports do not hold out hope of
much improvement for some time.
In connection with the policy of the
British government in disposing of
wool. more than 200, 900
have to be sold every month in
England. That eliminates the excuse
