COUNTY PROMOTERS
IN NEW YORK JAIL

Elko, Nevada, May 11.-Mr. and
Mrs. C. D. Seymour, who purchased
extensive mining interests at Lynn,
in northern Eureka County, about
two years ago., are in a New York city
jail charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses, a transaction
alleged to have arisen out of their
operations conducted here.
A representative of the New York
district attorneys Office is here in
vestigating the Ease now. He has
been in Eureka consulting the official
records there and has also paid a
visit to Reno, where he talked with
Prof. Lincoln. who made a report
upon the Lynn property for the Sey-
mours
The defendants in the case are said
to have represented to the New York
firm who furnished money to them
that they had constructed a $4,000
dam for placer mining purposes and
needed $4,000 more to complete the
dam. The money was furnished
them. but 1t was discovered that s40.-
900 had eve been expended in
building a dam at Lynn.
Fraudulent transactions with res
pect to the stock of the United Mines
Company are also said to play a part
in the case against the Seymours.

EMERGENCY TARIFF BILL.
PASSED BY SENATE

washington, May 1.-THE Senate
late to-day passed the emergency tar
In and antidumping bill. retaining all
amendments recommended by the A.
nance committee but rejecting those
individually proposed.
The vote was 6 8 to 2s.
The Knox amendment continuing
war time control over imports OF
dyestuffs was accepted, 81 to Is.
AS passed by the Senate. the meas
ure differs radically from that which
was passed by the House and now
goes to conference. Only the tariff
features we're kept intact, the anti
dumping and currency revaluation
sections being rewritten and theprovi-
sion added for continuation of the
war time restrictions on imports of
dyestuffs.
As passed by the Senate. the bill is
to be effective for six months, when
It is hoped that the permanent tariff
law, now being framed by the House
Ways and Means Committee, will
have been enacted. 1t provides duties
on wheat. corn. beans. peanuts. po-
tatoes. rice, cattle. sheep, meats, long
staple cotton and cotton manufac-
lures, wool and wool manufactures,
sugar. milk, wrapper and filler to-
bacco and other farm products. In
addition. the bill carries an anti

the influx Of cheaply manufactured
foreign goods.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT


Virginia Chronicle: In connection
with the general complaint Of lack OF
observance Of the dry laws and gamb-
ling laws Of the State. and does not
seem to be confined to any local
ity. 1t would appear that n very ef-
fective means Of controlling this mat
ter has been created and conferred In
the county licensing boards. which
have large powers I'm the granting
and revoking Of licenses. Refusal to
license places where 1t is apparent
that laxity exists in abiding by the
provisions Of the law. would have q
salutary effect. Public sentiment is
often apparently Indifferent, but once
aroused insists on a clean sweep. and
will sustain efforts to enforce the law
to the letter.

JACKASS BRANDY is

Elko Independent: Jackass bran
dy, purchased either in Palisade or
Carlin, killed Joe Williams Thursday
morning at ten thirty. the hour when
the virulent poison fusil oil, closed
his ayes in the last sleep. The jack
ass was bought by Williams either at
Palisade or Carlin, according to the
mar who accompanied Williams to
this city from Carlin last night.
williams was taken from a local
rooming house at a late hour We'd
nesday night in an unconscious con-
dition. He was removed to the jail
and was later taken to the county
hospital. DR.. Secor was summoned
to care for him but he was past aid
when the physician arrived. In a
statement made to-day to the indie
pendent. DIR. Secor said that Williams
death was unquestionably due to an
overdose Of fusil oil in the stun he
had purchased for his spree.
Williams was a man of about 35
years of age and apparently a work
ing man. Nothing was found upon his
person to indicate from whence he
came or whether or not he had any
relatives. He never regained con-
sciousness during all the time he was
under the ARE of the local authori-
ties.

DEFEAT THIS MEASURE

Nevada Mining Press: A CORES
pendent has sent us a, copy Of a petit
ton that Is being circulated in Min
eral County, protesting against a res
olution that has been introduced in
Congress by Representative Durham
for the suspension of assessment work
ON mining claims in 1921 and 1922.
We heartily endorse the opposition to
this resolution and believe that the
representatives in Congress Of Neva-
ia should be petitioned to work and
vote against 1t.
The development of the mineral
resources of q State Is brought about
by work. not by holding mining loca-
tions year In and year out by suffer-
ance Of the Government. Since 1917
assessment work on Government min
eral locations has been suspended,
with the result that everything worth
while IL held by old locations. Last
year the time for the performance Of
assessment work for 1920 was ex-
tended six months, to June so, 1921.
That ID fair enough-gives everybody
q chance.
This year thousands Of miners are
out of employment. Many Of them
will 50 into the hills to prospect II
the ground or which the work has
not been done is open for location;
and many others will secure work on
mining locations.
There is no need for a further sus-
pension Of the law requiring 500
worth of work to be done each year
on unpatented mining claims.

TT CANNOT BE DONE

Reno Journal: Why don't the rail-
road managers reduce rates?
1t is admitted even by the manag-
ers that rail rates are too high. The
freight does not move. The CONNER
cial blood does not circulate. The
prohibitive rate IL like q cord tied
around q mans arm. The arteries
and veins are stopped and the result
is congestion. Why not cut the cord?
eff Congress would only pass a
law -" No. This is n time when
Congress does not need to pass a law.
In past years 1t would have been nee
essary to get legislation before the
rate fabric could be raised orlowered.
Not 30 now. The present law leaves
the way open to immediate relief.
The managers can reduce rates any
time they please. 1t is only necessary
to file new schedules with the Inter
state Commerce Commission, giving
notice Of the change and, the COM
mission consenting. the new rate is
In force.
There are two ways for q railroad
to earn money. One Is to carry q lot
OF freight and (passengers) at a small
rate: another is to carry q small
amount Of freight land q few passen-
gers) at q high rate. 1t IL better for
business II the former method isprac-
ticed. One trouble with business now
Is the effort of the railroads to make
a lot Of money by doing a small
amount Of business. 1t can't be done.

MYSTERIOUS SECRET MEETING REPORTED
Officials Deny RumOr of Drive
 Against City Meeting

Although the basis of this story is purely hearsay and cannot be pinned down to any one individual. there is however, a report to the effect that certain city officials and state officials as well, are behind a move to do away with the city meetings in New Britain by charter change or other method It is hinted on good au- thorities that a secret meeting was scheduled to be held at the Shuttle Meadow club on Monday night at which a. few heavy tatxpayers, manu- lecturers and officials were invited. Just what was discussed if, indeed. such a meeting was held, is not known but among other things it is rumored that the abolition of the city meeting was one thing.
 It is known that at least one local man prominent in public affairs, is opposed to the city meetings. As far back as the famous city meeting at the Arch street armory two years ago he made the statemen that the city meeting is thing of the past and he for one, was in favor of abolishing it. Whether he still holds that view is not known. Several officials addressed today, denied any knowledge of an effort to do away with the city meeting. and one or two supposed to be identified with the movement likewise protested i'm nocence of any plans in that direc- ton.
 The city meeting is the one con- meeting link between the people and their government. It is the one way in which they can check up on the men they elect. Take away the city meeting. it is pointed out, and inn mediately a city government of, for and by the people is further away than ever. It does not take much imagination to see what would be the result if the city meeting were to be abolished and, instead, the ques- tion of city affairs left for settlement in a closed back room in City hall or some other place to which only privileged few were entitled to attend.
