Formal Complaint
Raises Question,
Movie Firm Under Fire
for New Reissue"
Scheme.

WASHINGTON,-A formal COM
al compliant was recently issued by the
Federal Trade Commission against the
Fox Film Corporation of New York
City. The question raised by the COM
plant is wh9her or not the REISSUE
of an old film under new title, with
out disclosing that the films are re-
issues is an unfair method Of compe-
tition. The complaint AYERS that the
Fox Film Corporation selected several
plays which had been previously pro
duced by it and exhibited through
out the United States and gave them
new names, such names being differ.
ent from those under which the plays
had already been exhibited. This was
done, the complaint states, notwith-
standing the fact that the leases un,
der which such photo-plays were
furnished to exhibitors called for new
releases and not reissues. This prac.
tee, it is averred, tends to misleao
exhibitors and through them the public
into the belief that such "re-issues'
are first run pictures.

BUD BODELL SKATERS
DESERT SPEED RECORD

Bud Bodell, an Ely man well
known throughout the west and rap
idly gaining a national reputation as
a daredevil automobile driver of far
above the average ability, broke all
previous records between Salt Lake
and Reno this week.
Bodell covered the distance over
the Lincoln highway in Is hours and
20 minutes driving time with a Du-
rant Four
He checked out of Salt Lake Tues
day morning at 3:15 and into Ely at
HIP At a distance of eighty-seven
miles west of Salt Lake, when run
ming at a terrific rate of speed, a nut
worked off the steering gear tierod.
The car turned over but Bud, as u.s.
ual, escaped uninjured. Frank
Staunton. the mechanician travelling
with Bodell, was somewhat bruised
but not seriously injured. They
walked back about a quarter OF a
mile and fortunately found the nut,
which was soon adjusted and the
journey continued. This accident
caused a delay of twenty-five min
utes. At Cold Hill nineteen minutes
was spent In making repairs. Allow
ing this deduction the run was made
from Salt Lake to Ely in 7 hours and
SO minutes. which lowers all previ-
GUS records for the distance by ap-
proximately one-third.
After taking on supplies and MAX
ing few minor adjustments at the
Lincoln Highway garage in Ely Bud
was checked out at 1874 and started
for Eureka. At Round springs, west
of the Moorman ranch, one of Hen
rvs Rolls Rough type failed to give
the racer the right of way and In
turning to avoid collision the rigns
hind wheel was torn from the Du-
rant car. Bodell quickly sent word
by telehone to Lindskog & Wood
ward. agents for the Durant in Ely,
and in one hour and twenty minutes
new wheel was delivered On the
scene. Bodell then returned to Ely
and again checked out at 3:13 We'd
nesday morning. The run to Eureka
was made in 2 hours and As minutes
and the distance from Eureka to Aus
tin was covered in 2 hours and min
utes. Thursday morning word was
received in Ely from Reno that Bo-
dell rolled in there at 4:55 official
time.
The time given to the run between
Reno and Oakland is 10 hours. In
which event the entire distance from
Salt Lake to Oakland should be COW
cred In 2S hours and 90 minutes.
This will lowed all previous rec
ords. The drive was planned by the
Durant automobile people to show
what Durant car can do and the
material necessarily used in its con-
struction in order TO stand such a
test.
The Lincoln highway was natural
ly selected as the best route and when
the Durant people hit on Bodell they
were fortunate in securing the SER
vices of the Ely boy, who bids fair
TO soon be recognized as the greatest
driver of racing cars on the Ameri-
can continent

MANY new VOTERS ARE
ADDED TO COUNTY LISTS

A total of 80 new names were
added to the list of registered voters
i'm White Pine county when the books
were closed in the Office of the coun-
ty clerk, as provided by law, last
Tuesday night at 8 o'clock.
The task of placing the names
properly on the registration books OF
the various precincts throughout the
county is a tedious one ard exact fig
ures are not yet available. 1t is con-
servatively estimated, however, that
the cancellation Of the names of those
who failed to vote at the last gen
eral election and those who are
known to have left the county since
registering here will about equal the
number of new voters registered.
This leaves the number of regis
tered voters approximately the same
as il was two years ago, but many
have left the district since the closing
down of the mines and smelter moro
than a year ago, and the names or
many of these are not known to the
county clerk. There Is no way of
obtaining accurate figures as TO the
decrease in the popular vote that Will
thus be occasioned, but 1t Is yariously
estimated at around 500. The total
vote cast two years ago as shown by
the poll books from all precincts was
2,ES2. These figures would naturally
fix the vote to be cast at the coming
general election at about 1000.
The vote at the primary election
will doubtless be much lighter, due
to the fact that there is no contest
on the republican ticket for county

MORITz REGLI DEAD;
WAS NEVADA PIONEER

Moritz Antoine Regli, 76 years of
age and for practically half a GEN.
tury one of the most highly esteemed
men in Nevada, was called by the An
gel of Death and calmly ushered into
the life of eternal happiness last
Wednesday. He was one of God s
noblemen and by his death just one
more of the grand old pioneers has
gone TO his greater coward, while the
entire community mourns the loss of
a citizen whose exemplary life makes
an interesting page in the history of
men of happy memory
Mr.. Regli was born in Hospenthal.
Canton Uri, Switzerland. When a
lad 16 years of age he came to Cali
fornia, where he resided for two
years. As young man his mind first
turned to the extraction of precious
metals from where nature had placed
them in the earth, TO be later used
for the benefit of all mankind. He
went to Idaho, where he pursued the
mining industry. and during the early
SOS was attracted by the White Pine
excitement. He first settled at Car
lin, New, and later came TO the Rob-
inson district, where he sought To-
cation in which to conduct dairy
business. Soon thereafter. however,
Eureka gave promise of developing
into n great city by reason of the
rich mineral discovered in that To-
cality and MIR. Regli there estab-
lished dairy, which he carried on IN
highly successful manner for q
period of forty years. He purchased
large stock farm twelve miles east
of Eureka and for seventeen wears
conducted that enterprise In conjune-
ton with his dairy business. During
the boom days in Eureka he won ia
yor as man of sterling worth and
was conspicuous as one of the most
highly priced citizens of that locality.
The failing health of his wife
caused Mr.. Regli to dispose of his
interests in Eureka and move to Ely.
where he has resided with his family
during the last five years. After re-
firing from active life he made his
home in Central Ely. where he de-
voted himself entirely to the care OF
his invalid wife, who is a sufferer
from paralysis. During the severe
weather OF last winter he was strick-
en- with rheumatism, from which he
patiently enduring great suffering
until called inside the golden gates
to enjoy the eternal blessings which
follow a well-spent life.
He was removed to the Soaring
hospital May IT, where nothing vas
left undone to alleviate his suffer-
ings. and he was constantly surround
by the members of his family and
loving friends. The attending physi-
clan. DIR. w. w. Cook. resorted to all
known to medical science and these
attentions were continued until the
time allotted by fate had run its
course.
Besides the grief-stricken widow,
Dora Regli, two daughters and three
grandchildren survive the estimable
pioneer. These are Mrs. BARLEY j
Smithson. Mrs. Thomas II. Hooper.
Faralie and Linwood Smithson and
Darrell Hooper. all of whom reside
in Ely.
The funeral services will take
place this Sunday afternoon from Sa-
cred Heart church. Rev. James O'Gra-
dy officiating. Interment will be i'm

ernoon. The court reconyened rur-
