ELK0 CHAMBERMA|D
MAKES GHASTLYF|N n

With his throat cut from ear to ear
and his head hanging to his body
only by the vertebra and the back
tendons, Jose Elardi. a Basque sheep
herder. was found by the chamber
maid at the Overland hotel in Elko.
early Sunday forenoon. says the Free
Press. A doctor was called immedi-
ately, who said the man had been
dead several hours. The remains
we're taken to an undertaking estab-
lishment.
Elardi was twenty-five years old
and had been in this country but a
few years. About the first of the
month he came to Elko from Col
conda, where he had been working
for Joe Saval, and shortly after ar
irving in Elko went to work for j. H.
Hennen in Pleasant Valley.
At the coroner's inquest, Monday,
Mr.. Hennen said a few days after the
man had gone to work his friends
reported him as being sick, and Mr..
Heenan at once proceeded to get an
other man, but was called up Satur-
day morning and told that the herder
had left and the sheep were wander
ing on the range. On going out he
found the mans clothes still in camp
and his meal on the stove was partly
cooked, showing that he had left hur-
riedly.
On arriving at Elko the man went
at once to the Overland hotel and
told the landlord he was not feeling
well and had severe pains in his
head. He asked them to telephone to
Mr.. Heenan that his sheep were with
out a herder, and after eating supper
went to bed. That was the last time
he was seen alive.
About ten o'clock Sunday morning
the chambermaid knocked at his door
and, receiving no reply, entered the
room by using her pass key. She

head and shoulders hanging over the

had cut his own throat with a
pocketknife, not overly sharp, and
had nearly severed his head from his
shoulders, both jugular veins and
windpipe and everything from ear to
ear being cut into. nothing being left
out the vertebra and the tendons on
he back.
His right hand still grasped the
lnife, and his hand and arm were
with blood as he sawed and
lacked at his W throat.
He has no known relatives in this
ountry. He had several dollars in
lis pocket and a bank account of
lore than $500.

L|NDLEY ADVOCATED
FOR CABINET PLACE

Albert Lindlay, who was heard at
the American theatre in Winnemucca
al the time of the Republican meeting
there last month, is being heartily
doomed for a Cabinet portfolio in the
Harding administration. probably that
of Secretary of Agriculture. Lindley
is known in the Golden State as a
real dirt farmer" His speech was
heartily enjoyed here, and ranchers
knew. to a man. that he was n of
them.
Lindley is the man who raised the
money in ten Western states to con-
duct the Republican campaign. and
since the beginning of the campaign
he has been the subject of possibility
discussions. He would have strong
backing for an appointment as Secre-
tary of Agriculture, according to re-
ports in political circles and al arti-
Gle appearing in a San Francisco
newspaper recently over the name OF
c.. B. Dodds.
For weeks Lindley has been the
subject of much speculation in Stock
ton, his home town" During the
campaign he operated under the title
of regional chairman of the ways and
means committee, and it is interesting
to note that he was the only regional
chairman to survive the Chicago on
vention. This indicates that all the.
others were fired for lack of results.
while Lindley scored marked success
throughout the West.
Lindley's case was taken to the
President-elect since the election by
Fred w. Upham, the national treas
urer, say Dodds in his Chronicle
article. and the response was favor
able, according to information re-
ce'ved in Republican circles last Sat
urday. Senator Hiram w. Johnson
and Senator-elect Samuel NJ. Short
ridge probably would swing their
whole-hearted support to Lindley;
while such leaders as viii II. Hays.
national chairman, and Clarence b.
Miller, national secretary are inter
ested in support of the Stocktonian.
Lindley acquired large land hold
ings on Rough and Ready island, just
out of Stockton, about ten years ago,
and since that time has been one of
most public-spirited citizens. He was
instrumental in organization of the
Owners and Operators Associa-
ton. now the Federation of American
Farmers, and he is classed as one of
real "back-to-the-soil"
farm operators. As a result of his
holdings here he does not care for the
big position for financial reasons, and
be capable of making a secre-
who would meet the demands
Harding expressed in his prediction
speeches.
WELDING considerable power in
California political affairs for many
years, Lindley has gained wide promi-

work, Lindley's abilities have ex-

American producer on the farm. His
qualifications are multifold and Re-
publican leaders throughout the West

would be delighted at his appoint

Republicans with whom he

FARMERS DENY
RIGHT TOSTRIKE
What Would Be Verdict if
Farmers Should Strike"
Asked i'm Memorial.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Denial that
any group of organized workers pos
sess the inherit right to strike was
contained in a memorial to congress
formulated today at a conference here
of representative of the National
Grange, the American Farm Bureau
Federation, the Cotton States Board
and the Association of States Far
mers Union Presidents. They said in
view of recent events it was agreed
that the farmers attitude on strikes
should be made plain.
Pointing out that the city popula-
ton was dependent on the farmer for
food and that interruption of this sup
ply can be brought about through
strikes of railroad or other transporta-
ton unions, the memorial asserts,
Those who believe labor has the in
herent right to organize a strike, be
Iieve such organizations have the right
to starve people of the cities to death
on one hand and destroy the property
of the farmers on the other. No such
right ever existed and no such right
exists now.
The memorial also asks what would
be the verdict of the people if farmers
decided to strike.

CENTENNIAL ALPLANSAPPR0VED
KENTUCKY Mine
OWNERS REBEL
Decline to Submit to Making
Wage Increase Retroactive
and Quit Hearing.

Washington, Feb. 11.-After the coa1
strike settlement commission had ag-
reed today to render decision making
the Il per cent wage increase retro
active to October 1 in the Kentucky
fields, the Kentucky Operators Asso-
citation refused to submit to the juri-
diction Of the commission and with
drew from the hearing.
This was the first refusal of opera :
tors in any field to accept the commits
sions settlement of questions involved
in the strike. The representatives of
the mine workers presented their side
of the case, but President Robinson
did not indicate what course the COM
mission might pursue in view of the
refusal of the operators to give their
views.
Claim of the Kentucky miners that
the award should be made retroactive
was based on the contention that the
mines in Kentucky We're operated on
practically 100 per cent basis
throughout the strike.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
charged that in refusing to submit
their case, the operators of the Ken
lucky Association were hedging" on
their acceptance of the original strike
settlement terms. This was hotly de-
MED by j. Y. Moore, spokesman for
the association, who declared the ac-
ton Of the operators was predicated
solely on the insistence of the mine
workers that the commission decide
the question of retroactive wages
which he said was covered by the con-
tract agreement between the miners
and operators.
of Kentucky operators-The Western
Kentucky Operators Association, J.
H Norman told the commission that
the association had agreed to accept
any awards by the commission cover
ing it's field and would submit a brief
in reply to the president of the United
Mine Workers of the Kentucky dis
trict.
Protest against the wide differen-
tialS between wage rates of mines in
this district as well as in the Pack
and Machine mining rates was made
by the miners. They claimed that
wage scales in Kentucky mines We're
generally lower than in the central
competitive field, with a maximum
man replied that freight rates to all
available markets for Kentucky coal
were discriminatory, to a degree that
compelled a lower production cost in
that state.

NEVER SIGNED
HELME PETITION
Witnesses at Newberry Trial
Declare They Didn't Know
Their Names Were on List

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 11.-When
federal district court opened today
there was a possibility that Chase S.
Osborn would be recalled for~-efess
examination in the Newberry election
conspiracy trial. The former govern
or's testimony consumed a large part
of yesterdays sessions and attorneys
for the defense deferred cross exami-
nation until they could have time to
communicate with two defendants
mentioned by the witness and who are
absent on account of illness.
y motion to strike from the records
testimony of ex-governor Osborn so
far as it relates to Mark T. Mckee
renewed by Martin w. LittIeton at the
outset today, was denied.
The reference to Hannibal Hopkins
who was told by the former governor
that he was making a financial sewer
of himself" was however, ordered
stricken out.
The check for $3.50 which Claude
Hamilton, chairman of the Kent county
republican committee received from
Truman H. Newberryv last October
was then read into the record by the
defense. This part of the proceedings
was arranged when Hamilton was un-
der cross examination regarding the
gold star club of Grand Rapids. Ham
ilton could not remember the sigma
ture on the check. 1t was recorded to-
day as Truman H. Newberry, by
Frederick P. Smith, attorney in fact"

automobile dealer said that in June,
1918, he lived at 326 Cherry street Mr..
Daley called his attention to one of
the Helme nominating petitions which
were impounded from the secretary of
states office several days ago. Helme
was candidate for the democratic
nomination for senator. The line
bore the name William Osborne. 326

Did You sign or authorize any one
to sign that petition?"
Il did not. 1t is not my handwriting

that the wrong. nay more, the crime
of a man hired to circulate petitions
is not binding upon the defendants.
The testimony may stand" said
Judge Sessions and the defense noted
an exception.
The witness told Mr.. Littleton he
did not remember signing a Newberry

signers. 1t was sent to Osborn and
signed Truman H. Newberry.'
William Tolsman of Grand Rapids,
was shown a Helme petition dated
July 25. The witness read his name
and address in the petition.
rs that your signature and hand
writing?' asked Mr.. Daley.
1T is not" said Tolsman. Cross
examination developed that it was his
best recollection he did not sign any
petitions in July.
Other witnesses found their names
on Helme petitions and in each in
stance repudiated them.
