CROOKED BALL PLAYERS
ESCAPE PROSECUTION

Chicago, March 1.-THE State to-
day dropped the cases against all of
the former Chicago White Sox play
ers indicted for the alleged throwing
of the 1919 world series except Chick
Gandil.
The action was taken after Judge
William E. Dever had refused to
grant a continuance of more than
sixty days in the case.
The State demanded six months on
the grounds. that 1t would take that
length of time to gather new evidence
which would give the prosecution a
chance of conviction.
Immediately after the action had
been taken, Robert e. Grove, State
attorney, announced that new in
dictments would be sought against
the men.

ANCIENT HOME BREW

A lecture on Zoroastrianism would
seem to have a dry subject, but the
statement that the Persians claim to
have originated the art OF home brew
ing adds humidity enough to interest
almost any audience. Thirty centur-
les ago according to this account,
King Jamskid had a great jar OF
grapes. Pressure of the top layers
on those beneath squeezed out the
Juice, which fermented and became
sour.
II the king had taken a large drink
of 1t instead of a mere sip. he per-
haps would not have ordered his
slaves to mark it poison" and put 1t
away in the cellar until he had occa-
sion to set up a cup of 1t to some
enemy. One of his wives, becoming
jealous and having learned Of the
deadly liquid in the basement, decid-
ed to use 1t to end her life. AL
though she drank freely, instead of
dying, she lost her dependency and
became very happy. The king could
not understand her sudden hilarity
untfI she confessed. Therefore, 1t Is
related, both the monarch and his
court very regularly poisoned them
selves on home brew.
That innocent and golden age was
indeed one where only nature ruled
and man obeyed without misgiving.
To-day in countless ways man has
harnessed nature to his will, but
whenever passersby see the glow of
lights through a basement window.
they suspect that down there poor old
nature, despised and thwarted SO
long and often. is getting a little hu-
man assistance to the end of fermen-
tation.-Omaha Bee.

RABBIT LEATHER

Samples of rabbit leather recently
sent to this country from Australia
have been examined and tested by the
United States bureau Of standards.
with a view to determining the utili-
liability of such skins for shoe uppers
or other purposes.
The leather was found to have only
about one-fourth the strength of calf
skin and to tear rather easily. It
has a great advantage in point OF
c~heapness and might perhaps serve
for uppers OF fancy shoes that are
not expected to stand much wea~.
The experts are of the opinion that II
could be used to advantage for lir-
ings and novelties.

The concurrent resolution Of the
Nevada Legislature for the removal
of Frank Langan as Judge Of the first

resolution had failed to pass.
Senator Scott demanded a correc-

NEW STEAM AUTO
SOON TO APPEAR

A fve-passenger six-cyiinder steam
touring car Of 110-inch wheelbase.
with electric lighting and starting. to
retail at about $1,000. is soon to be
built according to announcement
made in New York.
The construction embodies several
features which have interested lead
ing steam engineers. The boiler OF
the car Is OF the combination fire.
and-water tube type. so arranged
that 1t will go under a hood of any
shape. The insulated steam line
leads directly to the rear axle with
divided flow to each half Of the axle.
1t is In this axle that engineers
find one Of the most fascinating adj
vance in the car-the direct appli-
cation of the steam to the wheels, alb
solutely eliminating the geared diff
ferential. The real axle is the engine
or the engine is the rear axle
whichever way you consider it. 1t is
engine, axle and d%ifferential function.
all in one-the engine is its housing
being Just about the size Of the ordi-
nary rear axle gear case. The hous-
ing of each half of the axle carries
three fixed cylinders, set at 40 de-
grees apart or one-third the circle.
These cylinders are exactly like those
of the automobile engine with pop
pet valves. pistons and connecting
rods. The bore is two and three
fourths inches, stroke three inches.
The three connecting rods in each
half are pivoted to a crank pin in
tegral with the drive shaft of each
wheel. At a speed Of forty miles
an hour, the engine Is running at the
low speed Of 500 revolutions per min
ute. Before n cylinder Is entirely
off pressure. another has begun to
take hold, and the third is complete
ing 1t exhaust. The exhaust steam
is taken by return pipe to the con-
denser which is located in front of
the boiler in the position of the ordi-
nary radiator.
The initial heating for starting Is

NO CHANGES IN OUR
STATE BOARDS

A report of the joint committee of
both legislative Houses appointed to
investigate the affairs of the State
Boards and Commissions other than
the Highway Commission. with aview
to abolishing or consolidating any
Of them, was returned in the Assem-
bly, Monday. The committee believes
that new boards created recently are
beneficial and that none o fthem should
be abolished.
Changes that might be recon-
mended are embraced in bills already
presented in the Legislature, the
committee reported. and that the
time for an exhaustive study Of the
functions of the boards and commits
sions is too limited to make any min
ute recommendations.

Mechanical arrangements similar in
many respects to that Of an automo-
bile is the distinguishing feature of
a new form of gasoline-driven inter-
urban car described in Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. Though the body,
seating 35 passengers. is like that Of
a standard modern street car. there is
a long hood extending in front. in
which the 50-horsepower engine is
mounted. An auto-type gear shift is
provided, and a shaft transmits the
power to the rea wheels. Air brakes.
electric lights. and a hot water heat
ing plant are other details Of the
equipment. The car makes a round
trip of 40 miles in a little more than
two and one-half hours. consuming
about five and one-half gallons OF
gasoline. or one gallon to seven miles.

Lynn District Has Spirit Ore
MetalIureist Says Gold Mysterousty Disappears From Ore
Under Fire Assay Test

from its original place OF deposition.
"A great many small shafts were
started throughout this whole area,
and for a shallow depth, assays of a
good value were readily obtained.
However, when a depth beyond the
point of oxidation was reached. fire
assays of the ore showed a mysteri-
Gus but perpetual decrease in values.
This discouraging condition resulted
in the practical abandonment of their
claims by a great majority of the
p~rospectors and miners, so that by
the end of 1908 the district was prac-
tically deserted, except by one COM
pany. the Lynn Big Six, and a few
~persevering miners who confidently
believed. although they did not know
the reason why, that the camp would
some day make good.
up to the present, nearly the en-
tire gold production of the camp has
been supplied by the placer d~iggings,
which, because of the scarcity of wat
er, can only be operated for six weeks
In the Spring. Individual miners
have, during the six week period,
cleaned up from $4,000 to $1,000.
"A considerable amount of under
ground development work has beef
carried on by various operators, who
were evidently looking for quartz
veins and dikes. which they expected
would carry pay shoots of ore at
depth. The expected results failed
to materialize, because Of a misun-
derstanding regarding the ore deposit
ton, a condition which has been rec
ognized quite recently and which
places the whole subject matter with
In the bounds of reasonable compre-
hension.
1.-The country rock is mainly bedded
rhyolite, which indicates a flow struc-
ture. The rhyolite was later shat
tered by a series of intruding porphy-
ry bikes, probably andesite, but which
we're afterwards so badly altered that
the exact classification must be de-
termined by other than ordinary field
work.
THE porphyry intrusions were re-
sponsible for the main liberalization,
which is locally indicated by a dis
tinct reddish stain throughout the
whole porphyry Evidently the
naturalization not only permeated
the intruding masses, but was forced
along the bedding plane of the pre-
existing rhyolite in quantities suffi-
cient to enrich the whole area
This reddish stain, the so-called
iron stain, as it was locally supposed
to be by those who were interested in
the district and also by a considerable
number of mining engineers, who had
examined and reported upon the dis
trict during the last fourteen years,
has been found, after a thorough and
exhaustive chemical analysis, to be
predominantly a mercury stain which
carries not only gold. and this in
quite extensive quantities, but also
the are elements, gallium, and, In
smaller quantities, bismuth, plati-
mum, ruthenium, selenium, tellurium,
thorium, uranium and vanadium."
