THE BORDER WIRELESS" AT -,
THE ELKO THEATER FRIDAY

The noted Thomas H. Ince star,
William S. Hart, in khaki! That in
itself is something worthy of note.
True, he only dons the uniform Of
Uncle Sam at the close Of the pic
ture, "The Border Wireless" at the
Elko Friday only, because from the
start until the close he has striven
valiantly, to gain that position of hon
or, striven against odds, branded as
a bandit, the victim of plotters-but
finally he triumphs, wins his pardon,
the girl of his choice.

Bear islands History.

i. Midway between Norway and Spitz-
: bergen, Bear Island thrusts it's head,
known as Mount Misery, above the
cold waters. The whole island, save
for moss and lichens, is almost des-
titute of vegetation. Long ago it was
joined with the Spitzbergen archipela-
go; the continental shelf upon which
the island sits shows a drowned valley
deepening to 200 fathoms; this marks
the course Of an ancient river system
that must have drained all area
larger than the present basin Of the
Volga.-Scientitic American.

IS SERIOUSLY I'LL UP TOCOVERNOR
Passes Both Houses and Is Now
Ready for Governors
Signature.
(sy JOHN c. TRIcE)

TALLAHASSEE, April 27.-The bud
get bin. one of the matters much de-
sired by Governor Hardee, and which
was advocated by him in his message
to the legislature, is in a fair way TO
become law soon, for the senate passed
the Lowry bill unanimously Wednesday
afternoon. It's companion BILL introduced
in the house by Representative Mckenzie
has been passed, and there is of course
no doubt, that the governor will sign the
bill as soon as it comes to him. The bill
calls for a budget commission with the
governor as head which shall have power
to call on state. officers and boards every
two years for statement of their prob
able expenditures for the coming two
year period.
Thus the legislature will know JUST
what each institution wants, what it is
wanted for, what it has had in the past
and will have an opportunity to study
the desires of one in comparison with
the wants of all other state institutions,
so that it will he possible to do justice
between all interests.
NJ L. Dawson, secretary to the gov
ernor and a member of the legislature
two years ago from Hernando county,
has long been an advocate of the budget
system and had large hand in framing
the bill.

BILL is HELD UP
lRx IoHN C. TICE

TALLAHASSEE, April 27.--When the
reapportionment resolution came up IN
the senate today Taylor of Pinellas,
moved that the senate do not concur IN
the amendments made in the house. He
is said to feel that the gap between Hills
boro and the next county below is too
great to allow both to have the same
house membership, three members. The
gap between Duval and Hillsborough is
about 3O 600 people, but the gap between
Hillsborough and the next county down
the list is even greater. He is said to
propose that this be remedied by giving
Duval and Hillsborough county four
members which would be a fairer repre-
sentation than now prevails, but might
not be able to pass the house.
Senator Campbell pleaded that the
matter be laid over for day without
action and this was done. 1t is possible
that it may come up at the conference
committee.

AVERT STRIKE
Chairman of Shipping Board
Arguing With Ship Own
ers and Seamen.
cay The Associated Press ,

WASHINGTON, April 27.--A final
break between the ship owners and
marine workers was narrowly averted
at a conference called here today by
Chairman Benson, of the shipping
board, in an effort to prevent threat
ened strike on May l. when existing
wage agreements expire. A last mo-
ment appeal by Andrew Faruseth,
president of the international Sea-
mems Union, resulted in an agreement
for further conferences Friday. The
delay was sought in order that pro-
posals of Chairman Benson for 10
per cent wage reduction and changes
in, working conditions afloat might be
laid before the unions, but admittedly
the outlook for an agreement Friday
was not bright.
Admiral Benson told the conference
he would not recede from the outline
of reductions he had presented as nee
essary TO the merchant marine.
w. S. Brown. for the marine. engin-
eers beneficial association flatly re-
jected the proposed wage reduction.
w. A. Thompson, representing the
American Steamship Owners Associa-
tion, said that unless the unions were
prepared to negotiate new wage
scale, further conferences would be
useless and that his organization was
now prepared TO act.
| Replying to Chairman Benson's pro-
posals for readiustment of wages, and
working conditions, Mr.. Brown read
resolution adopted by the Engineers
Wage Committee which declared thai
| the proposed wage scale and reclassi.
fication of ships was not acceptable
although changes in working condi.
tions were Later he said, the en-.
gineers would not recede from tn,
stand they had taken and would no
accept a wage reduction.
Without specifically" uching on tn
wage question, Mr.. Furuseth, speaking
for the seamen. firemen. cooks an,
stewards, declared that there had no
been time for the men to consult TO
gether. He suggested tentatively tina
elimination of overtime at sea, bu
not In port, might be acceptable, to
gether with assurances that American
citizens would be given the preferenc
in employment.
Chairman Benson agreed that ther
should be some overtime retained, bu
asserted that 1t should be most care
fully guarded to avoid abuse.
Announcing his call for the meetin
Friday, Chairman Benson said tina
those who did not come in a fair spiri
must bear the responsibility for til
results, but that the boards stand o
the proposed basis for new agree
ment to replace the one expiring Ma

Gus airplane laden with liquor which was
captured on the park landing field last
night by Savannah police, will be turned

the machine has been found.
