NOTED MEN ON LISTS
Consensus Is That Business
in America Is Slowly
Improving.
MORE EFFORT NEEDED
See Prosperity Ahead if All
Glasses Will Get Over
Pessimism.
MORE EFFORT NEEDED

The economic situation in this coun-
try is slowly improving. but it would
improve much more rapidly if men of
all classes would get over their fright,
pessimism and lethargy and make
greater efforts
That was the consensus among
prominent American business men who
formed good part of the 600 cabin
passengers on the White Star liner
Olympic, which sailed yesterday for
Cherbourg and Southampton.
The Olympic, the largest of a fleet
of seven liners which sailed for Eu-
ropean ports. had, among others,
Thomas F. Ryan, the financier, and
Edward N. Hurley, former chairman Of
the United States Shipping Board. Mr..
Ryan. who went with Mrs. Ryan for
six weeks in England and France, had
this summary of conditions as he saw
them:
Il feel confident that business condi-
tons. all over the world, with very few
exceptions, are slowly improving. In
this country orderly but persistent liqui-
dation has been going on for many
months. OSr merchants are buying
only what they can sell quickly for
CASH The consumers have had to listen
to so much pessimistic talk that they
buy pnly what is absolutely necessary
for their daily wants because they have
been expecting a still further reduction
In prices. People everywhere have been
scared They are getting over that. Our
people are the greatest consumers of
food and manufactured products in the
world in normal times and normal times
are slowly coming back.
Labor willing to Aid.
While the labor question is a diff
cult one. there are. many signs which
show that union as we'll as non-union
laborers are willing and honestly trying
TO do their part in the readjustment
process which is going on. / hope the
standard of living and the pay of the
worlang man will never reach the low
prewar level To force that would be
very bad thing for everybody. The
evils. created in seven years largely by
q disastrous war cannot be corrected in
ton and cooperation on the part of all
will help bring prosperity much sooner
thans most people think. also feel
hopeful because President Harding has
put pm his overalls and is determined
to use his great power and influence in
the readjustment process as well as i'm
the settlement of foreign and domestic
questions which so vitality affect the
econpmic situation and the prosperity
of all our people"
Before sailing Mr.. Hurley met Albert
ID. 4asker. who now holds his one time
position as chairman of the Shipping
Boatd. Mr.. Lasker came aboard the
Olympic with others Of the board to
lunch with T.. A. S. Franklin, president
of the !. M. NJ, following an inspection

WOOL CONDITIONS
LOOKING BETTER

Recent information concerning the
wool market is encouraging consider
ing the general situation. Some wool,
of a grade comparing favorably with
Nevada wool, has been sold as high
as 80 cents in the grease recently.
Quite little wool is moving and de-
mand is said to be picking up with
the resumption of work in many of
the big wooden mills. Under existing
conditions, the Nevada clip should
bring top prices and Nevada WOOL
growers should be establishing lines
of communication with wool centers
in order to secure information as to
what their wool is going to be worth
before buyers try to stampede the
wool men into selling at the first
price offered. Some day, as organi-
zation spreads and strengthens among
the stockmen. the growers will be
telling the buyers what their product
is worth. instead of prayerfully wait
ing for an encouraging offer.-Ne-
vada Stockgrower.

Rehabilitation Of persons disabled in
industry or otherwise. and there re-
turn to a remunerative occupation, !"
commonly known as the Industrial
Rehabilitation Act. the Nation recog-
nizes that 1t has an interest in the
conservation of its human resources,
and that its interest is not limited to
the reclamation Of those disabled in
its direct service. civilian or military.
but extends rather to embrace the
reclamation Of every citizen disabled
without regard to the service or man
ner in which the disability originated.
The development of this program
has as its object the conservation OF
economic efficiency of the whole citf-
zenry.
1t is estimated that 100000 in
dustrial workers see their earning
power curtailed. II not entirely de-
stroyed each year. How important
is the fact that these disabled per-
sons are in most instances denied the
opportunities and privileges of their
more fortunate brothers. because Of
their disability.
Most of this condition is open to
correction through re-education.
Inquiries from any person In need
of retraining will be welcomed by the

tion, Carson City, Nevada.

NEW COUNTERFEIT
FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE

Attention is called to a new coun-
terfeit $40 Federal Reserve note de-
scribed by the Treasury Department
as follows:
On the Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago, Illinois; check letter "A";
plate No. 142; F. d. Houston, Secre-
tary of the Treasury; John Burke.
Treasurer of the United States; por-
trait of Cleveland.
This counterfeit is printed from
photo-mechanical plates of amateur
ish workmanship, on a single sheet of
paper of fair quality, without imita-
tion OF the silk fibre of the genuine.
The portrait of Cleveland is the most
noticeable defect; lacking the light
and shade effects of the steel engrav-
ing of the genuine. and many of the
fine engraved lines are omitted from
the face.
The number of the specimen at
hand is G2O999881A, and this num-
ber will probably appear on all of
these counterfeits as 1t is apparently
part of the plate from which the
note is printed and the figures are
black instead of blue.
The back of the note is dark green,
and the fine lines of the lathe work
are not defined.

WHITE PINE COUNTY
State OF Nevada
Ely. Nevada. Feb. Q. 1884,.
Mr.. H. c. Nicholson. Sheriff,
Dear Sir: 1t Is commonly feputsd
that liquor Is being manufactured
and sold in various places throughout

Grafton on several ranches In Steptoe

I respectfully urge you to make q

THE LAS VEGAS MATTER.


Regarding the case Of the boy.
Frank Lee. who. 1t has been alleged,
is suffering from the effects Of a beat
Ing received at the hands of the prin-
cipal OF the Las Vegas school, the
Age Of that place. in its issue of last
Saturday. says:
Frank Lee. who was taken to Los
Angeles last week to be placed under
the care Of q specialist. is reported to
be slowly improving.
"The case has been given a good
deal OF unwarranted publicity in Los
Angeles papers. the facts gathered by
the Age are as follows:
Frank Lee. 12-year-old, student
in the eighth grade. was sent to the
principals office by his teacher to be
punished. Mr.. Stewart took the boy
back to his room and inquired of the
teacher as to whether 1t was neces-
sary to punish him. The teacher
stated that punishment was neces-
sary, whereupon Mr.. Stewart pun
ished the boy In the presence of
teacher and pupils. using a strap.
There were probably twenty lashes
administered. below the knees, ac-
cording to those who witnessed the
whipping, and the punishment was
in nowise severe. The strap was
used by the professor as a means of
discipline by direction of the school
board. After the whipping the boy
walked to his seat, and attended
school the following day.
"On Friday Frank complained of
feeling bad and on Saturday paraly-
sis of his legs developed. He was
placed in the care OF Drs. Martin and
Mildren and under their advice the
boy was taken to Los Angeles for
treatment by a specialist. 1t is un-
derstood here that Mrs. Lee, the
mother. does not place any blame for
the boys condition upon Professor
Stewart. and that she did not charge
that any brutality or undue severity
was used.
ut is the general opinion here that
the injury to the boys spine Is the
result of a game called long horse,
which the boys had been playing,
rather than the whipping.
Mrs Lee is a most estimable wo-
man and has the sympathy of the en-
tire community.
Prof. Stewart is almost over
whelmed with sorrow at the condi-
ton OF the lad.
District Attorney Harley A. Har-
mon has returned from Los Angeles.
where he went to make an investiga-
tion. He says he has as yet no state
ment to make in regard to the case,
which he is still investigating"
The Los Angeles Herald of Satur-
day. the 18th. In the summary of the
case, states:
According to DIR. Silas A. Lewis,
attending physician. the boy is fatally
i'll. Paralyzed from the chest down,
the little fellow is able to turn only
his head and shoulders on the bed.
"It was stated that some of the
youths organs had ceased to func-
tion. and one physician stated that
he believed the boy would live about
two weeks, possibly a month.
District Attorney Harley Harmon
of Las Vegas came to Los Angeles
and secured from attending physi-
clans an affidavit to the effect that
the boys Illness was the direct re-
suit of the whipping. The prosecu-
tor has returned to Las Vegas, where
he is pursuing an investigation Of
the matter from that end"
