ANNAPOLIS, Md, December 10
Though winning by 81 to 80, the Navy
basket ball team had to fight hard
ington College here this afternoon.
The visitors took the lead with
points before the Midshipmen had
goals by BarnuS midway of the half,
which ended. y to l3. in Navy's favor.
Toward the latter part of the sec
ond half the visitors. with Carroll
leading. staged a rally which made
them very dangerous and caused the
game to end in d highly exciting
manner. In fact. the visitors had the
better of the second half by one point.
Carroll with six goals from the
floor, WAS by far the star of the Wis
;tors and the heaviest scorer of the
game.
The passing game of the Midship-
men showed distinct Improvement as
to speed and accuracy. but the shoot
ing waS.poor. particularly during the
early portion of the game. However.
the visitors contributed greatly to
the erratic shooting, as they were
constantly after their opponents.
One of the highly interesting fea-
lures was the clever work OF the
players of both teams in intercept

Chamber had previously addressed
resolutions to the Interstate COM
merce commission protesting against

Action taken Monday resulted in an
unanimous vote to rescind the Cham
ber's previous stand in favor of

inadvisable, members declared, to
make an expression favorable or un-
favorable to either company. No
railroad officials were present.

HOW TAXPAYERS
ARE PROTECTED


1t is supposed that George Smith,
chairman Of the Nevada Industrial
Insurance Commission will coma
back to Nevada to vote, at least .
few of the Democrats believe that
he. will be here when needed.
George, who stepped out of the
governors office, where he acted
as private secretary, into the chair
manship Of the insurance commits
sion, did so at a salary Of $4,000
per annum.
At that time he devoted his entire
time to the duties of the Office.
Later through a vote of the COVER
nor and attorney-general he was
boosted to $4,000 per annum. Then
George became interested in Cali
fornia and much of his time was
devoted to private affairs on the
coast.
Some eighteen months ago the
salary was cut to $4,000 per an
mum. Then Smith became intf-
ested in California and most of his
time was devoted to his private
affairs there.
Some eighteen months since he
concluded to remove to California
but expressed willingness, so the
story goes, to continue as chairman
of the Nevada Industrial Commis-
sion at a salary of $4,000 q year,
with the understanding that he was
to make periodic visits to the state
to supervise commission affairs.
And SO the matter stands. Smith
lives in California with his family.
has no actual residence in this state,
but comes to Carson City every
month, occupies his official chair
in the capitol during his stay and
draws his $3.50 per month salary
check.
Andy Stinson, the Republican
member of the industrial insurance
board insisted that the appointee
should be a 100 per cent Nevadan
and that whoever he be that he re-
ceive 100 per cent compensation.
He has often stated that if the
office calls for $4,000 man that
ne should be named and put on the
Job. He maintains that there are
plenty of Nevadans, paying taxes
here and living here, who can hold
down the job.
His plea has gone against stone
walls and Mr.. Smith continues to
give part time service for part time
pay, but he always lands in time
to sign up for that $3.50 per month
as willed him by the Democratic
members of the board.

MURDER CASE UP
FOR NEXT WEEK
District Attorney's Office Is Coins
To b Prepared to Contest
Acquittal of Man Charged
With Murder

The preliminary hearing of New
ton Stanley, Jr., is to be held be-
fore Justice Ritchie, Wednesday
next, and it will then be determined
whether the evidence is sufficient to
warrant the justice in holding
Stanley for trial, in the district
court, for killing of Bonifacio
Yragui, sheepherder who was shot
and killed by Stanley in Alkali
canyon during the afternoon of
Sunday, September II.
For the purpose of subpoenaing
witnesses in the case Deputy Sheriff
Muller left here yesterday for the
vicinity of the tragedy with SUBJ
poenas for Charles Rousseau, half
brother of Stanley's, who was at
the home of Stanley at the time
Stanley left there with a 1890
rifle in his arm, headed for a point
where they had seen rising into the
air a cloud of dust that they at
tributed to indicate the presence of
band of sheep on the homestead
claim of young Stanley. Rousseau,
so it is stated, stayed at Stanley's
house until the latter's return, an
hour or so later, with his hand all
over blood, which was flowing from
wound in his hand, and which
Stanley said had been made by a
shot fired by the sheepherder, whom
he had seen fall to the ground after
he, Stanley, had fired at him. The
deputy sheriff also has subpoena
for Wade Snyder, sheepman, who
lives not far from the Stanley
ranch; and as Stanley and Rousseau
ate dinner at the Snyder sheep
camp the day of the killing, and,
later in the day, Snyder accom-
panied Rousseau to the scene Of the
tragedy, where the twain discovered
the dead body of Bonifacio Yra-
gui, and covered over the remains
with a saddle blanket, he may prove
to be material witness in the
case, possessed of a fund of infor-
nation that may destroy any line
of defense that may be constructed
by Stanley and his attorneys.
Deputy Sheriff Muller is expected
back tomorrow and the witnesses
may accompany him on his return.
District Attorney Wilson sent along,
with the deputy sheriff, former Dis
trict Attorney T. E. Powell and
County Surveyor-elect Frank o.
Leary, as representatives of his Of
flee, and they will thoroughly ac-
quaint themselves with the scene of
the tragedy and sketch diagrams
that will better prepare the district
attorney to conduct the case with
full intelligence, and secure the
conviction of the man charged with
murder, unless there is evidence to
show that he killed in defense of
his own life.
