SILVER PRICE
LEVEL CERTAIN
Smelling Company Oficials and Gov
eminent Working Out the Pur-
chase Details .

Salt Lake Tribune June 10: The
New York office of the American
Smelling and Refining Company has
advised the local Office Of the COM
pany that the company is working out
with the Government the details
through which the Government will
purchase silver as provided for In the
Pittman act, and that undoubtedly
the price ultimately to be paid will be
81 per ounce, less adjustment for
fineness, and less cost of delivery to
minis designated by the Government,
estimated at about five-eighths Of /
cent pcr ounce; and that 1t will prob
ably take the Government some time
to finally get the matter adjusted
through the various departments.
The local office is advised to secure
certificates of production in the Uni
ted States, in all cases possible, and
to make settlement on the New York
quotation, upon the understanding
that as soon as the matter is settled
with the Government the company
will readjust the price so that these
mines will get the equivalent of the
mint price, which will probably be
99% cents per ounce minimum.
The company requests all produc-
ers to 9 all the influence they can
with the Government to get the mat
ter adjusted without undue delay.

YOUNG ELKO BOY
IS D BURNED

Floyd Williams. a ffteen-year-old
Lamoille boy, who was very severely
burned Monday, Is recovering, says
the Elko Independent.
Williams was engaged in digging
postholes on a ranch near Lamoille
and had purchased a large car Of
blasting. He was pouring a part of
this powder from the large can into
a smaller one when a cigarette which
he was smoking dropped from his
mouth into the powder. A terrific
flash followed which set fire to his
clothing and burned him very badly
about the face, hands and body. He
ran to a nearby creek and threw
himself into the water, thus extin-
gushing his burning clothing. He
then walked into the Byers ranch
near by where he was cared for and
brought to Elko for medical treat
ment.
It was at first believed that he was
fatally burned but he Is on the road
to recovery. He is only fifteen years
of age and is suffering terribly from
shock and burns.

Republicans Open Convention
Organization Completed and Party Leaders Pave the Way for
Real Business of Meeting

CHICAGO, June S.-The opening session of the Repubh-
can National convention to-day was DULY perfunctory and pos
sessed few thrills and little enthusiasm.
There was the usual amount of band playing, waving OF
flags and cheering for party notables, but the program was of
the same old stereotyped kind which characterizes all Repubh-
can gatherings.
A keynote speech, Senator Lodges address to the con-
vention after being installed as temporary chairman, did not
come up to expectations.
1t was considerably longer than the one of Senator Harding
four years ago and lacked much of the punch which that and
previous keynote" addresses contained. 1t was scholarly
phrased and wel[delivered, but it just failed to get over as a
vigorous, twofsted announcement of the policy the party
should follow in the campaign.

CRITICISMS DRAW FORTH CHEERS

Senator Lodge made a studious and exhaustive review Of
the partys work on the peace treaty, and sought. by careful
analysis of the Senate's action to justify the refusal of the Re-
publicans to ratify the league of nations plan presented by
President Wilson. His greatest cheers were given when he
criticized the President and ridiculed some of his policies. His
attack on the President, repeated throughout his address,
seemed to find high favor with the listening body of delegates.
The great convention hall, the meeting place of many of
the Republican gatherings of the past, presented a picturesque
sight when the doors were thrown open and the delegates and
visitors began to file in. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of flags
and miles of bunting in festoons which draped the ceiling and
the ratings of the gallery boxes made the hall look like a place
of a great festival.

MANY NoTABLEs ARE oNLOoKERs

Back of the spaced center set apart for the State delega
tons, there rose tier upon tier of seats for alternates and guests
up to the first, second and third balconies. In the rear of the
speakers platform rose another tier of seats which were taken
by members of the National committee, United States Senators
and other distinguished guests.
Far up in a little gallery, close to the caves of the building
and facing the speakers platform, was perched the band, which
played patriotic airs while the delegates were assembling.
All of the several galleries were filled to bursting early
and thousands of persons, disappointed in their search for tick
cts, hung about the outer doors, vanly hoping for some chance
that would enable them to get inside. Spectators sold at pric
es ranging from 500 to 5000 such tickets as they had been able
to gather in by whatever methods may be adopted.
Many familiar faces that have been around the meeting
place of the Republican hosts were missing to-day. First and
foremost among these was the familiar countenance of Senator
Boes Penrose of Pennsylvania, so long a conspicuous figure in
all Republican gatherings.
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1920-06-12

The nearest approach Penrose has to this convention is by
long distance connection with his home in Philadelphia, where
he lies stricken and unable to attend.
In Penrose's absence, Governor Bill" Sproul was a con-
spicuous figure in the midst of the Pennsylvania delegation. One
could easily pick out Murray Crane of Massachusetts,, Bill
Barnes of New York and a few others of the old guard who have
had a large part in Republican history. But their number is
lessening and in their stead appear a great many new faces
most of whom were attending a National convention for the
first time in their young lives.
Chauncey M. Depew came in early, and before taking his
seat with the New York delegates he had a long discussion with
an aisle policeman over the contrast between the appearance OF
the hall to-day and the hall used thirty years ago, when he at
tended his first convention.
Nicholas Murray Butler, New Yorks Endorsed candidate
for the presidency, came right on the heels of Depew, and put
in a lot of time shaking hands before sitting down.
Senators adsworth and Calder were also warmly greeted,
but not much attention was paid to Barnes.
Over in the Massachusetts delegation Speaker Gillet and
Senator Lodge sat side by side, Lodge silently rehearsing the
"keynote" speech, which it was his lot to make. Barnes sat d.

out we must count, measure and re-
cord before we speculate.
For years there have been disturb
ances and interrupt ions of the wire
less. There are hundreds of possible
causes-earth currents, thunder storms
and countless other causes. But there
are some disturbances that have come
with greater regularity than would an
pear to be possible from accidental
causes. That fact Marconi has no.
ticed and has commented upon.
"a wrong Interpretation has been
placed on these disturbances in saving
that they have come in the Morse code.
Ahe disturbances can vary only in
being long or in being short. The i'm
portant thing to determ inc is the repu-
larity of these variations. If a large
number of disturbances show REGULAR
ily it would indicate a guiding intelli-
gence behind the disturbances.
III the point is once established that
the dlsturbances possess this regular
ity that indicates intelligent direction
Of them, the next question is of the
source of these disturbances. The fact
that they are received at all points on
the earth at the same time with eoual
intensity shows, il they are accepted
as signals, that they must come from
outside the earth.
Long years Of investigation have
convinced the astronomers that Mars
is the only planet besides our own
where life could exist. where the ele-
lments necessary for the life that VIC
know exist. The disturbances might
come from Mars. | do not say that
they do-they might.
Mars and the earth, both SWINGING
around the sun, are at different times
OF the year at varying distances FROM
each other-at times very close to-
gether; nt other times very far apart
II the intensity of the disturbances is
greater when Mars and the earth are
close together and less when Mars and
the earth are far apart, if this inten-
slty varies directly with the distance
OF Mars and the earth from each
other, then such a variation would do
much to establish the probability Of
Mars as the source Of the disturb
ances.
But these are mere possibilities OF
the imagination as yet and have no
scientific Standing The scientist does
not speculate without facts First
the dl turbances must be investigated
carefully. There must be records made
9em over Tong period Of time
abllsh facts that would allow US
'peculate on the probability Of these
disturbances being signals and not the
result of accident. Our surmises as
TO the source Of these disturbances
must have q similar basis in recorded
facts.
Il 90 not want you to make me say,
therefore, that these are signals from
Mars. 1t is theoretically possible. But

Joseph York, as witnesses in the Sur

hevcd that Mrs. Rosa f. Spang was ir-
rational for some time prior to her

times and for various afflictions.
Or. Flint SAID after an observation
OF Mrs. Span. for a year he concluded
rs patient WAS irrational. He pre-
created his opinion partly on the
failure Of Mrs 5pang to apply the

who was blind and suffered from
paralysis, and her lack of power Of
concentrations. The witness said he
