DEAD CAN MURDER
WITHOUT COMEBACK

A United Press story says man
legally executed. pronounced dead,
and then revived by means of a pull
motor. could commit any crime known
to law. and not be liable to prosecu-
ton and legal punishment.
The law couldn't recognize his ex-
istence.
He might walk into the court room
of the Judge who sentenced him and
kill the judge who pronounced his
fate and no hand could be laid on him.
On the other hand. he would have
no protection under the law, no mat
ter what offense might be committed
against him.
This Is one of the phases of the ie-
gal question that has been brought
up since the attempts to resuscitate
into life the bodies of Sam Cardinella
and Nick Viana. murderers hung at
Chicago recently. The law Is taking
no chances now, and bodies are be-
ing held several hours by the authori-
ties after hanging an hour before
they are turned over to the dead man s
family.
Chicago jurists are divided over the
status of person who might be thus
revived.
Judge Hugo Friend and Judge David
Brothers take the stand outlined
above.
Assistant State Attorney Lloyd Heth
declared such complication would
free the man. "He could not walk
out Of the morgue. and the law could
not touch him. But he couldn't marry
and he couldn't vote. II he were
beaten up by a citizen. the citizen
couldn't be punished for anything
more serious than cruelty to animals"
There was an old theory that IL
the rope broke, the law was fulfilled
and the man couldn't be hung again."
said Judge Harry Fisher. That idea
is not according to modern law.
Either he's dead or alive"

ELKO WANTS TO KNOW

The Silver State comments upon the
fact that nothing has been heard of
the Chevrolet automobile which was
to have been given away to purchasers
of tickets In the Reno Roundup queen
contest The fact that news OF the
drawing of the successful ticket and
the winning of the car has failed thus
far to filter into Humboldt county
probably accounts for its hardness
in being heard hereabouts. That
queen contest left a mighty bad taste
In the peoples mouths all over the
safe, and the Roundup Association
must take care to avoid any such
humbug at any future time.-Inde-

SAGEHEN CASE IN RENO
Is DISMISSED BY COURT

Because Prohibition Officers Nash
and Brown could not establish in
their testimony in the Justices court
that birds found in an automobile
driven by William A. Epson and Har-
vey Rose on July II were sage hens,
the case against Epson and Rose for
killing sage hen during the closed
season was dismissed. Officer Shee-
han, who was with Brown and Nash
when the automobile was stopped a
mile northwest of Sparks and
searched for liquor, was unable to
identify Epson and Rose as the two
men who were In the automobile.
Nash testified that he and the other
officers were expecting an auto load
ed with liquor on the road near
Sparks and when the machine driven
by Epson and Sparks did not come
to halt when the order to halt was
given he shot the tires. The automo-
bile stopped then, he said, and a
search was made for liquor, but in
stead Of liquor two sacks of birds
were found. Both Nash and Brown
could not testify that those birds were
sake hen or sage cocks.
In granting the motion to dismiss
the case Judge Bull gave his personal
opinion that the defendants were
guilty.-Gazette.

OvER-PRODUCT|ON
HAY IN THIS STATE

Nevada farmers will face an over
production of approximately 10000
tons of alfalfa hay this year unless
measures are taken to provide an ade-
quate outside market, Charles A. Nor
cross, marketing expert, said. With
plenty of water in the Humboldt.
Walker, Truckee and other rivers and
with climatic conditions favorable.
there will probably be greater pro-
duction of alfalfa this year by $4,000
or 100000 tons.
According to Mr.. Norcross the first
crop was rather light throughout
western Nevada, but the second and
third crops will be above normal and
the five hay exporting counties,
Douglas, Pershing. Churchill, Lyon
and Washoe. will produce in excess Of
243,O00 tons alone. while Elko and
other grain consuming counties will
produce an abundance to feed all
stock. Added to this bumper yield
approximately 10000 tons were car
ried over from last year. and reports
indicate that there are less livestock
In Nevada this year. although feeding
may be more extensive.
The states bordering Nevada are
reported TO have excellent crops of
alfalfa this year, with the possible
exceptions OF Eastern Texas and Ari-
iona, while Idaho. with a normal crop,
has from twenty to thirty per cent
less livestock to feed.
A telephone message from Cecil V.
Creel. who is attending a meeting OF
California state officials at Sacra-
mento regarding possible quaran-
tine on Nevada hay, stated that no
action had as yet been taken on the
matter and that the California Hay
Growers Association favored with
holding action until the meeting OF
Nevada farmers here on August 26
when they will send delegates to dis
cuss the prevalence of weevil and the
possible quarantine with Nevada
| farmers.
Definite plans and cooperative
action" Mr.. Norcross said. "are nee
essary IL Nevada farmers are to mar
ket their great crop of alfalfa hay
| this year. and the meeting of farmers
on August &c will work toward that
end. Gazette.

SPANISH RANCH IS
SCENE Of ACCIDENT

A most terrible accident occurred
at the Spanish ranch near Tuscarora
Wednesday morning at nine o'clock,
and as a result Charles Palmer of
Salt Lake City, aged fifty-five years.
is dead.
Palmer was driving moving ma
chine and as is the custom ON large
ranches was followed by another ma
chine. Palmer's own team was gen
tie, but the team following him was
new at moving and both horses were
colts. Something startled them and
they ran, throwing their driver off the
machine and dashing into Palmer's
machine. The tongue struck him in
the back. throwing him forward or
the cycle bar and one of the sharp
knives entered the abdomen. His eye
was badly cut and his nose broken
besides suffering fatal internal in
juries. Medical assistance from this
city was at once summoned. but
Palmer was past aid. In a last eff
fort to save his life he was made as
comfortable as possible on the ranch
truck and the machine started with
him to this city. but the unfortunate
fellow breathed his last as the party
was leaving Taylor canyon.
A brother of the deceased from Salt
Lake City is expected here today to
take charge of the body.
A coroner's inquest was held over
the body this afternoon at two o'clock
and verdict of accidental death rem
dered. The remains of the unfortun-
ate man will be sent to Salt Lake
City for burial this evening.
Palmer was employed by Superin-
tendent Callighan a short time ago
when he applied to the latter for
work. He was a good man and was
we'll thought of by his employers.
The Spanish Ranch seems to have
been particularly unfortunate this
year, this being the second accident
occurring which resulted In death to
of their crews.--Elko indie

ALL CARS READY
FOR Pixies PEAK
AUTO ROAD RACE
(By The Associated rress.)

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. 4.
Automobiles of all the entrants
for the Pixies Peak races to be held
here Labor day have been exam
ined. speed tests for the order of
starting have been run and every
thing is now in readiness for the
third annual climb up one of
America S most famous mountains.
Visitors from out of town repre-
senting many sections of the state,
began arriving this afternoon, and
1t Is believed that the largest crowd
in the history of the races will be
posted along the highway to wit
ness record list of entries to COM
pete for the Penrose trophy under
the auspices of the American Au-
tomobile association.
Today has seen the final
preparation for the race. A few
trial spins by the drivers. last bit
of road work by the gangs which
are keeping the course in condi
ton, and then every one in any
way connected with or interested
in the races will await clear skies
with the hope there will be no
clouds lowering about the bald
crest of the peak.
The unfortunate death of Wal
lace Coleman, Chevrolet pilot, who
jumped the road Thursday morn
ing when his car skidded, has not
in any way dampened the determi-
nation of the drivers to break the
existing records for the climb.

fore, and true statesmanship, not
any false idealism. that prompts
nue. and my colleagues. Threats OF
-tyce must be set aside from the
beeinning as well as during actual
conduct of the negotiations.
1.-THE respective plenipotentiarles
must meet untrammelled by any
conditions save the facts. and must
be prepared to reconcile snpse-
quent differences not by Appeals
to force. covert or open, but by re-
ference to some guiding principle
on which there is common agree
ment. We have proposed the prin..
ciples of government by consent OF
the governed, and do not mean II
as a mere phrase. 1t Is simple ex-
preston Of the test to which any
proposed solution must respond :
it is to prove adequate. and 1t can
be used as the criterion for the de-
tails, as well as for the whole.
That you claim It as a peculiarly
British principle, instituted by the
British and now the very life OF
the British commonwealth should
make 1t peculiarly acceptable to
you
ION this basis, and this only, we
see hope of reconciling the con-
siderations which must govern the
attitude of Great Britain's repre-
sentatives with the considerations
that must govern the attitude of
Ireland's representatives and on
this basis we are ready at once to
appoint plenipotentiaries."
