True, he only dons the uniform OF
Uncle Sam at the close of the new
picture, THE Border Wireless" be-
cause from the start until the close,
he has striven valiantly to gain that
position of honor. striven against odds,
branded as bandit, the victim Of
Hun plotters-but finally he triumphs,
wins his pardon. the girls of his choice
fails the spies and prepares to go
"Over There" in the defense of Demo-
cracy.
The plot of the Border Wireless y
which will be shown at the Rex the
atre Sunday night Is concerned with
spies along the borders of Mexico, a
hidden wireless. and a desperate at
tempt to notify the Hun leaders of the
sailing dates of transports. A beau
tiful telegraph operator, played by
Wanda Iawley. Is the heroine. and is
an admirable foil for he cold. stern,
rugged Westerner.
The picture should be one of the
most successful of the long list of
splendid dramatic offerings in which
Hart has appeared.

FLU IN MANY
PARTS Of STATE

Reports received by DIR. s. L. Lee,

indicate that the influenza epidemic is
gaining a foothold in this state.
Tuesday 120 cases were reported
from Humboldt county. sixty-seven
from Clark, thirty from Washoe, If
teen from Lyon and twelve from Doug
las. In several instance pneumonia
has followed, but as whole the cpl
demic is of milder form than at the
same peroad last year, Dr. Lee said
No cases have been reported from
Pershing and Nye counties, which fact
surprises DR.. Lee and leads him to
believe that the reports are delayed.
In Omsby. some suspicious cases are
under observation and undoubtedly
there are several cases in this county.
says the Gazette.
A telegram from Surgeon General
Blue stated that 10000 cases have
been reported. but of a milder form
than a year ago. He anticipates that
the epidemic will continue for some
weeks. along the same line of waves as
came last year.
Up to the present time, DR.. Lee said.
there Is no cause for wide alarm, as
at this period last year practically the
entire state was stricken and the
medical fraternity driven to its utmost
resources to lend assistance, while 1t
was necessary to import nurses to
help handle the situation.

LAWMAKERS TO
MEET FEB. I

Ratification of the suffrage amend
ment to the Constitution OF the United
Safes will be the sole matter recon-
mended to the Nevada legislature In
special session assembled Saturday
of this week for action by them.
A positive statement to the above
effect was made by Governor Boyle
Tuesday afternoon. Until that time,
however, there had been strong
possibility that the wish of the Amer
lean Legion that the anti-syndicalism
law would be so amended as to great
ly strengthen IL might influence the
chief executive of the state to bring
this subject to the attention OF the
lawmakers. especially If they appeared
anxious to do SO, or If a representative
body instead of mere quorum re-
ports for duty. Drafts~of the propos-
ed legislation have been prpared by
Reno lawyers in sympathy with the
attitude of members OF the American
Legion and were submitted to the
governor for his consideration. The
Gazette had the following bearing on
the proposed changes In the anti
syndicalism law:
This proposed amendment purports
to remedy certain alleged defects In
the present measure. which according
to prosecuting officers, Is lacking In
its scope and IL not. therefore, an ef-
fective agency for the eradication Of
anti-government and radical activities
In the proposed amended law Is in
serted the following:

meaning wilful and malicious physical
erty."

thrown out of court on demurrer. Sec
tion four of the criminal syndicialism
law was interpreted not to cover the

was such as to mply violation only

ionable radical organizations, where
as il was held that old members of
such organizations or those becoming
members in other states were not
subject TO its provisions. The at
torneys who framed this proposed
amendment claim that the section is
remedied by the following language
Organizes or helps to organize, or
voluntarily assemblies with, or be-
comes member of, or who after
March. 1920, is, or represents him
self to be a member of any society,

The amendment is also made speci-
fic with reference to the unlawful
possession or distribution of incen-
diary literature. Section 6 of the
amendment repeals the old act.
The determination to limit the spec

announced by the governor after he

last evening and several matters
of Importance taken up The year
ly assessment to the Black & Yel-
low Trail was made and the secre-
tary was instructed to remit the
amount to the headquarters of the

Among other things taken up
was the question of hotel accomo-
dations, which is a serious matter
at the present time. 1t was pro-
posed that a temporary rooming
house of about twenty rooms be
built to serve until such time as
a suitable hotel can be built A
committee was appointed to take
up the matter with the lumber
dealers and ascertain the possible
cost. The committee will make a
report at an early meeting and
the matter disposed of.
Just now people coming into the

hard to secure rooms. and as a
consequence the travelling public
avoid the town to some extent. 1t
is to be hoped that some action
will be taken to remedy this.
