Reports from the Coast cities in
the possession of officials of the un-
ions are to the effect that the strike
is rapidly clearing up in western ter
minals, the men are returning to work
and freight is gradually being moved.
The situation in the East is not
clearing up so rapidly. and many
smaller strikes in various occupations
are reported to be occurring.
The railroad general managers as
sociation of New York have issued
an ultimatum, giving the railroad men
now out, until noon today to return to
work and if they fail they will open
the books and register such men as
they desire, granting them their
seniority held at the time of the walk
out.

COMPLAINT IS FILED
IN MARY'S DIVORCE

In the interest of the state of Ne
vada a suit asking that the decree OF
divorce granted on March 2, 1920, by
District Judge Langan to Gladys NJ
Moore, more familiarly known as
Mary Pickford, from Owen f. Moore
be annulled, vacated, and set saide
was filed in the district court at Min
den yesterday afternoon by Leonard
b. Fowler, attorney-general.
The complaint is based on allega-
tions Of fraud, connivance and collu-
sion between Moore, his wife and
Douglas Fairbanks, to whom the for
mer Mrs. Moore was married short
time after her divorce was granted
Fairbanks is brought into the case
through allegations that there was
conspiracy between himself and his
present wife to defeat that provision
OF the California law, which requires
that year elapse before final de-
cree of divorce be granted, by having
Mrs. Moore get divorce in Nevada
In that respect ii is alleged in the
complaint that an engagement and
agreement to wed existed between
Gladys Moore and Fairbanks prior to
February Is, 1920. the date on which
Mrs. Moore came to Nevada.
The complaint sets out that Mary
Pickford and her husband connived
and agreed to work a fraud on the
district court at Minden through
Moore's prearranged presence al
Minden for the sore purpose of ac-
cepting service of the papers in the
divorce court. Moore and his attor-
ney, the complaint asserts, were in
Minden at the time the suit was filed
and Moore, in the presence of the
county clerk of Douglas county, exc
cuted power of attorney to his Reno
lawyer. authorizing him to appear and
defend the suit.
That the cause of action contained
in the complaint filed by Mrs. Moor
was fictitious and without foundation
also is an allegation of the complaint
which says that, aside from evidenc
given by Mrs. Moore relative to he
marriage and temporary presence il
Douglas count, no substantial facts
were testified to by Mrs. Moore.
The testimony given r. Mrs. Moor
on the trial o. the case is made {
portion of the complaint as an ex
hibit and is characterized as being
"wrongfully, willfully and fraudentl,
false, fabricated and untrue" except
in the two particulars before men
toned

ELKO SHEAR|NG IS
STOPPED BY STORM

The present storm of the last two
days is playing havoc with the plans
of the sheep owners, many of whom
say they will not wait until after
the lambing season before shearing
according to the Elko Free Press. 1t
is estimated that fully $4,000 head are
in the vicinity of Elko awaiting to be
put through the hands of the shear
ers. but 1000 feeces having been
taken. The sheep that have been de-
nuded of their warm coats are suf-
fering badly from the snow storm OF
Thursday night and it is reported
that many of the ewes are dying.
The lambing season is from April
10th to May and to reach the lamb
ing grounds the fiocks must be started
at once. Some of the owners say that
they will not take chances of more
bad weather, but will delay shearing
until next month. All of the sheep
in that part of the state are in good
condition and the owners are con-
fident that their loss will not be above
the ordinary this year, provided the
weather turns mild in the next few
days.

.CAL|FORN|ANS BUSY
GETTING ROAD FUND

The San Francisco Chronicle OF
Thursday morning carried the follow
ing story of interest to Nevadans:
With the formation yesterday of the
Utah-Nevada and California Highway
Association at luncheon in the Pal
ace Hotel, first steps were taken in
a campaign to raise $45O,O0 in North
ern California to aid in the construc-
tion of a 400-mile highway between
Salt Lake City. Utah, and Reno, Ne
vada. which is expected annually to
divert thousands of tourists from
Southern California.
The movement had it's inception last
August at preliminary meeting. This
was followed by four more meetings
during which the project was threshed
out. 1t assumed more definite as
pect yesterday, eliminating with the
formation Of an organization and the
election of officers.
A campaign fund Of 100000 has
been raised by forty-seven civic or
CARNATIONS of Northern California.
The 100000 900 bond issue of last
July for good roads in California pro-
vides $3,800,000 for the construction
of a paved road between Auburn and
the state line leading to Reno Nevada,
interconnecting with Lake Tahoe re-
sorts.
From Reno to Salt Lake City is a
road that is hardly passable to auto
lists. 1t is the object of the associa-
tion to fill in this connecting link,
giving an inlet to Central and North
ern California to the thousands of
tourists who annually visit the state.
To do this the state of Utah has
provided $185,0OO. Four Nevada
counties have bonded themselves for
total of $45O,O00. Northern Cali
fornia, which will reap the benefit of
the road, by being the host to the
thousands of tourists who travel over
it will be asked to subscribe $450, 900
more. This, with 100000 the federal
government will provide, will make
fund of more than $4,000 900 for the
construction of the road.

and most popular engineers on the
Salt Lake division of the Southern
Pacific. was found a few minutes be-
= 500 o'clock yesterday evening on

some time and Thursday evening about
5 o'clock he left his apartments in

prompt the deed. He leaves a wife
and mother and father.

fectionately known by all his asso-
ciates on the railroad and in private
life, was one of the best known en-
ineers in the service of the company
on this division. He was son of

lively young man he received his pro-

STRIKE BREAKING UP; TRA|NMEN ORDERED
To Be PREPARED TO TAKE OUT FRE!GHTS

Word that the railroad switchmen's
strike is breaking up comes to Winnie
mucca today in the form of an order
received by Agent Birdsall of the
Western Pacific to notify all trainmen
to be prepared to return to work. The
message stated freight commenced
moving east from coast points this
afternoon. Nothing was said concern
ing shipments from the east
1t is learned that "a good many" of
the strikers have returned to work at
Ogden, Sacramento and Roseville, and
other terminals, and it is understood
the strike is breaking up all over the
country today. This. however, may
prove to be erroneous. but the fact
that freight is moving implies cor
rectness.
Some freight was received at the
Southern Pacific freight sheds here
last night from Sacramento.
One forty-five car westbound train
is the sum total of freight movements
in the Sparks yards up to the time
the Sparks Tribune went to press yes
terday. This consisted of several car
of perishable merchandise and tha
train went out of Sparks yesterGa.
afternoon.
A local freight between Sparks and
Inlay yesterday handled way cars
and small consignments in interior
points.
The strike situation remains the
same as it has been for the last six
days. There has been several meet
ings of the switchmen and ever!
afternoon the four brotherhoods holo
a joint session in Robinson's hall al
Sparks.
There will be no change in the To-
eal situation until such time as some
hing is heard from the new labor
board. according to c. A. Stone, vice
chairman of the conductors of the
Southern Pacific system. Mr.. Stone
stated that the men had been re-
seiving nothing but promises for many
months and that they wanted some
hing more concrete. He gave it as
his opinion that the men would return
to work Immediately after the labor
board made announcement that they
would take up the present situation
md give an early decision on the pend
ng issues.
When asked regarding the state
nent made by Brotherhood of Train
nen officials to the effect that the
members of the trainmen who did
aot return to work by the 18th would
De dropped from the union, Mr.. Stone
stated that it would have no effect
whatever on the men. He said that
he men had gotten to such position
hat they would not be driven by any
)ne. even their own officials.
The situation in Sparks is quiet
nd there has been no effort made so
ar to replace the men who walked
,ut last Friday night The yards and
idings along the division are well
led with cars. 1t is estimated that
here are something like ten train
Dads of cars in the Sparks yards
over go cars at Inlay and the Carlin
ards have large amount of freight
waiting to be moved.
Some local differences have cropped
'nto the situation in Sparks, but ac-
'ording to the report yesterday morn
ng. these matters have been clarified
materially by favorable action on the
part of the officials.
