Birds alone are not the har-

urge that sends the little feathered
creatures trailing valiantiy from

King Is the same as that which
squire the hobo, the comopolites OF

This Is the observation Of Mrs
Margaret P. Turner. secretary OF
the Hammond Red Cross.
Her office in the Superior Court
building is besieged daily by men
seeking lodging and food.
In the winter we helped a great
many. But these usually were men
who lived in this district. Many OF
these have gone apparently, or have
found jobs. Now their places are
being taken by transients. Mer

to eat. and then move on. Most Of
these are ex-service men. Probably
it is the spring that increases the

CLOSING OF RENO'S
DISTRICT" POSTPONED

Closing of Reno's restricted dis
trict' east of Lake street was post
poned from July 16 to November /
by Mayor H. E. Stewart at the
unanimous request of members of
the city council in executive ses-
sion yesterday afternoon, says tho
Reno Journal.
Mayor Stewart announced upon
adjournment that he had been re-
quested by every member of the
council to set November ] as the
date for closing the boarded areas.
His consent was given, he said,
after each member had pledged HIM
self to ask for no further extension
of time, and if such request was
made, Mayor Stewart said that he
made it plain that he would ALSO
lutely refuse to grant it,"
That it was only justice to the
unfortunate women of the tender
loin to set the closing at a later
date, was given by Mayor Stewart
as one of the reasons advanced for
an extension of time.

Cling with tbs currents Of the Great
Barrier reef hsr captain was glad to
thrust out oars through the ports Of
the vessel and thus turn her into q
galley. He crowded into this small
ship a complement of rs men, with
provisions for nearly two years The
main object Of Cooks expedition was
to take some astronomers to Tahiti to
observe the transit Of Venus, but he
was instructed to proceed afterward

secondary object that the Endeavour
won her place in the history Of the

PROMOTION
SCHEME CHARGED

Declaring that Lewis c. Van Ripper
of Boston and E. s. Van Dyck
have "duped the public with stock
of the Arizona Silver and other MIN
ing companies of Unionville, New"
the Associated Advertising Clubs OF
the World, through its national Wig
lance committee, has sent circulars
broadcast warning the general pub
lie not to buy the stock put out by
the promoters.
"Among the most brazen OF the
Van Ripper schemes in which pro-
moter named Edward S. Van Dyck
of Unionville, New, was chief par
ticipant," says the statement, lis
the sale of stock in five Nevada
silver mining companies known as
the Arizona Silver Mines Company,
Consolidated Silver Mines Company
and Universal Silver Mining Com
pany.
ivan Dyck kept stockholders from
learning the truth about their losses
by series of mergers which mark
his mines-promotion trail. In their
wake are strewn the dead hopes of
holders of beautifully engraved
stock certificates"
The circular discusses at length
the manipulations of Van Dyck and
Van Ripper, but says nothing about
the worth of the property itself

SITUATION
QUIET IN NEVADA.

The state is fully prepared to
take care of any troubles that might
arise, but so far, with the exception
of reported deportation in Las
Vegas, there has been no trouble
and the striking railroad shopmen
are conducting themselves in an
orderly manner. Gov. Emmett d.
Boyle told the members of the Ro-
tary Club in a short talk before that
body, says the Reno Gazette.
No further reports have been re-
ceived by the governor from Dan
Renear, inspector of the state police,
who is now in Las Vegas, and this
is interpreted to mean that every
thing is quiet in Clark coutny.
There has been no apparent
change in conditions at Sparks and
large nmber of the striking shop
men have taken the opportunity to
go fishing or camping. Some have
secured work in the hay fields.
One man, the stationery engineer
in the roundhouse, joined the strik-
ers yesterday.
Sheriff Hillhouse and R. B. Hen
richs, head of the state police, were
called to Sparks last night on a
mythical report of trouble. At the
east end of the Sparks yards, years
of use has established "hobo hang
out" where men beating their way
on the trains congregate and wait
for the trains. 1t is also one of the
finest breeding grounds for mosqui-
toes in the state.
A gang of twenty or more men
were waiting for a train there last
night and to protect themselves
from the mosquitoes had tied hand
kerchiefs around their necks and
heads. Passing motorists immedi-
ately thought that it was a detach-
ment of the Ku Klux Khan or a
band of raiders ready to attack the
railroad yards and the report was
transmitted to the officers. Suisse
quent investigation disclosed that
yesterday was apparently not day
of rest for mosquitoes, that the
travelling men" were only fighting
the little pests and at that particu-
lar moment would probably have
aided in the movement of trains in
order to get away from the place.
