CONTACT MURDERER
ESCAPES FROM NET

The news from the district in which
Van Eaton. the murder of the weig-
hall girl. is hiding Is coming in slow
and the Free Press has only been able
to get In touch through the Jarbidge
phone. According to the Jarbidge in
formant Van Eaton escaped from the
rocky canyon near Twin Springs,
slipping through between the officers.
The Indian trailers picked up his
tracks and the latest report is that
they have him cornercd in a blind
canyon at the head of Rock Creek, in
Idaho. People who know this
country say that II Van Eaton lays
low and does not travel. 1t will be
almost impossible to capture him. as
a man could pass within six feet of
him and not see him.
Under Sheriff Lamon says that he
has heard nothing from Sheriff Har-
ris since Monday night, and the office
has no information whatever. Those
who know Sheriff Harris believe
that he will stick to the trail until
all hope has gone for the mans cap
ture.

TOMOPAHANS WILD
ABOUT TRAIN CUT

According to a Tonopah special to
the Gazette, Southern Nevada was
taken completely by surprise by the
action of the Southern Pacific Com
pany in asking permission to curtail
its passenger train service to three
trains a week. and a monster mass
meeting was to have been held there
last night to make provision for
carrying on a vigorous and deter
mined fight to prevent the railroad
company from carrying out its plans.
From the sentiment of the people
expressed freely everywhere ringing
resolutions will be adopted. Business
men are talking freely of reprisals
by routing freight over the southern
route.
Petitions of protest are being signed
freely and at least 5000 signatures
will be attached In Tonopah and Gold
field.
Business during the past two weeks
has shown a wonderful revival and
every passenger train has arrived
there with a capacity load.
Never has the prospect been 80
bright for a renewal of mining activ-
ity in Tonopah and surrounding dis
tricts and with the readjustments of
freight rates. for which business men
and mining men have been waiting
and holding back orders. freight ship
ments will receive wonderful impetus
as a II stocks are run down and de-
mand renewal.
An automobile stage service be-
tween Tonopah and Reno will un-
doubtedly be established should the
request of the railroad be granted.

Pixies PEAK assn.
MAY ABANDON TRAIL
(From the Ely Times)

H. d. Judson. representing the
Pixies Peak Ocean-to-Oce highway
passed through Ely this afternoon on
his way from st. Josepph, Missouri.
headquarters of the association. He
came from Fallon over the Lincoln
highway and will continue from Ely
east on the Grand Central highway.
passing through Baker, Milford.
Beaver. Cove Fort and Castle Dale to
Price, Utah.
Mr.. Judson Is making a tour of in
spection over this route for the pur-
pose of comparing 1t with the Over
land trail route through Nevada. Not
withstanding the fact that he has al
ready secured from all the towns
along the Overland trail their quota
of 5-year subscriptions to the Pixies
Peak highway. Mr.. Judson states
that If it is finally determined that the
route which he is now inspecting
is more feasible than the Overland
trail, and the people give it the re-
quired support. there would be no
reason why II should not be ac-
cepted instead of the northern route.
The subscription contracts being
taken by the Ocean-to-ocean highway
provide that In the event another
route is finally decided upon by the
association the money so paid may be
refunded 10 the subscribers.
Mr.. Judson states that the Pixies
Peak highway has been definitely Or
ganized from Eastern Illinois to Price,
Utah, and that this tour of inspection
is for the purpose of obtaining infor-
nation that will guide the association
in designing and organizing the route
from Price westward to San Fran
cisco. He stated it was possible that
the association would decide to go to
Los Angeles instead of San Fran
cisco, although the latter place is pre-
ferred. In going to Los Angeles 1t
would be a question of whether the
Grand Central and Midland trails
would be chosen instead the Ar
row Head trail. At present all efforts
are directed towards securing the
most desirable route to San Fran
cisco.
Mr.. Judson explained that the
money raised from subscriptions
would not be used to build roads;
that the organization did not pretend
to construct highways. but merely
to promote the building of them. The
money raised will be used principally
for logging and signboarding the road
and for publicity purposes. The main
object of the organization, as ex-
planned by Mr.. Judson, is to secure
the best and most direct route across
the continent from New York to San
Francisco.
A number of Ely business men
after talking to Mr.. Judson relative
to the project are confident that 1t
will be very much to the interest of
the Pixies Peak Ocean-to-Ocean high
way to accept the Lincoln highway
from Reno to Ely, and the Grand
Central highway from Ely to Price
Utah. Moreover, the Lincoln High
way Association is backed by num-
ber of very wealthy men who have al
ready donated huge sums to the as
sociation. One year from now many
of the proposed projects will have
been completed on the Lincoln high
way and it will be by far the best In
the United States. 1t has the lead on
the rest of the highway associations
and they will never be in the run
ming.

ranged a tacky party Tuesday eve
ming for the members of this organi-

sorts of tacky games were enjoyed
during the evening.
Assisting Miss Sims in entertaining
were Mrs. William Richey and Miss

STATE DEPT. sTINGINEss

Refusal of the state department at
Washington to authorize sufficient
funds to lease new embassy headquar-
ters suitable to the dignity of the
United Sttaes, in the opinion Of Fred
eric Jesup Stimson, recently retired
ambassador, has forced the American
embassy to take quarters IN build
ing whose ground floor is occupied by
mattress factory, carperter shop
and ladies' tailoring establishment.
The embassy was obliged to give up
the building which has been the Of
fee of American diplomatic represen-
tatives for the past II years owing to
the desire of the owner to occupy it
himself. This was a two-story resi-
dence of pleasing exterior. facing the
Plaza San Martin and although far
from pretentious, as compared with
the legations of most other countries,
was well arranged, well appointed
and entirely occupied by the embassy.
1t was obtained when rents in Buenos
Aires were comparatively low, for $50
pesos a month, or a little over $500
and this figure. on account of the
friendship of the owner for Ambas-
sador Stimson, was not raised when
rents went soaring during the war.
When it became necessary recently
to give the place up, neither Mr..
Stimson nor Francis White, now the
charge d'affaires, could find a building
comparable to it for less than 2300
pesos a month. The state department
set a limit of $50 pesos and now
strangers looking for the American
embassy find building on a side
street, whose shabby entrance is flank
ed on one side by window exhibit of
gaudy colored mattresses and on the
other by ladies' dress forms.
One ascends to the embassy head
quarters by a dark spiral staircase,
set in a well, to small @sala" or
waiting room, which in winter is heat
ed by an oil stove There are ten
other rooms which visitors agree are
shabbily decorated and. with the ex-
ception of two with freplaces, they
have no heating apparatus.
Recently there was fire in the
carpenters shop. Had the fire de-
stroyed the building complete arch
ives dating from the days Of Caesar
Augustus Rodney, first American
minister to Argentina. century ago,
probably would have been lost.
