LYRIC BILL THIS HALF
 IS GOING OVER nc
By EsteIle Bcthea Mariowe

AS &OANN w ANhA D4N
 Wallace Bradley and Gertie Ardine, who. with John Irving Fisher, are presenting "Follies of Song and Dance" which headlines at the Lyric for the last half of the week, have proved ready favorites with the Bir- mingham theatre goers. They are dancers of the fret order and Brad ley and Ardine are both possessed of very pleasing voices.
 Larry Meehan and Gertrude New man, in Broken Promises" have also proven popular. They are highly versatile pair, and Meehan's dancing is comical and clever. Newman's voice is unusual in its range and her songs have been well received.
 Van and Belle, the Happy Laugh ing Entertainers" are a whole show all by themselves. They are boomer ang throwers par excellence. Charlie Wilson, ''rhe Loose Nut" makes a good contribution to the comedy side of the bill until his keeper drags him away, an. Edwin Paul and Edna Pauline, furnish an acrobatic enter tainment that is very clever. There are the usual attractions on the screen.

AND BEER WILL RETURN

NewYork, Feb. ga prediction
that New York restaurants will short
ly be serving light wines and beer
under Federal regulations was made
by William II. Hirst, attorney for the
Society of Restaurants al its regular
meeting to-day.
Mr.. Hirst cited four conditions as
indicative of a trend toward modifica-
ton of the Volstead Act, as follows:
First, he said, the attitude of Sec
rotary of the Treasury Mellon, who,
in debating the question of taxation,
regretted it was not feasible at this
time to consider a tax on wine and
beer.
Second, Every day men in high
authority are pointing out the menace
and folly of prohibition" naming
United States Supreme Court Justice
Clark as example.
Third. The continued protest of
the people at large, against the alb
surdity of the law as enforced"
Fourth. 1.-THE unanimous opinion
of every visitor from Europe that
prohibition would not be tolerated in
any European country"

These booster trucks" the latest
thing in locomotive efficiency, r OPP
Grated by two small steam cylinders
so constructed that they transform
the two rear trucks of the locomo-

the locomotive power is increased by
20 per cent in starting and enables it

BOOTLEGGERS NOW SAID
TO HAVE "SIDE LINE

Moonshine and cattle rustling go
hand in hand, according to Nevada
stockmen, a y the Reno Journal.
1t is said that thrifty moonshiners
throughout the State have combined
their illicit distilling activities with
selling of stolen beef, reducing the
overhead upon the liquor manufac-
turing and perhaps making a neat
profit on the side line"
Many stills are located in the noun
tain ranges throughout the State, 1t
is said, and the operators market
their product in the nearby towns by
means of light auto trucks. When
getting ready for a trip to market
many of them, it is asserted, kill a
number of beeves OIL the range and
take the meat with them.
In at least one case cited the meat
is placed in cold storage warehouses
by others, thus evading the law, as 1t
is difficult to establish ownership to a
beef.
Stockmen feel that stricter regula-
lions regarding the sale of %slaught-
cred beef would tend to break up
this practice through fear that inves-
legations would disclose the activi-
ties of the moonshiners.

TONOPAH MILLING co.
REDUCES TREATMENT CHARGE

Tonopah Times: Beginning March
1 the Tonopah Belmont Development
Company will adopt a new schedule
of mill charges for the treatment of
custom ores that should result in
stimulating the production of low
and medium grade ores in the inn
mediate vicinity of Tonopah. The
new rate will be greatly appreciated
by some of the numerous leasers, who
agree that the reduction will enable
them to stope huge bodies of ore that
will be made profitable by application
of the new rate. On ores sampling
not more than $40 the reduction will
be rs cents per ton, and ores worth
from $40 to $25 will be treated for
so cents a ton less than the existing
charge.
On the $40 grade the treatment
will cost $3.50 instead of $5.25 per
ton. Ores valued at $40 to $25 will
be charged IS per ton instead of So
so. Ores sampling over $25 per ton
will be charged IS per ton plus 10
per cent on the average, making the
rate for $50 ore $3.50 per ton up to
$50 values, when the charge would
be $3.50.

cOL0RED T0N0PAH PREACHER
FRACTURES wIFE'S SKULL

Rev. @. II. Blocker, self-styled pas
tor of the Tonopah A. NJ. z. church,
is held at the county Jail awaiting the
result of a brutal attack on his wife
Friday morning. which will probably
be attended by fatal consequences,
Jays the Tonopah Times. Mrs. Block
err is in the Mine Operators hospital
in an extremely critical condition,
suffering from a fractured skull and
paralysis of the right side of the body,
superinduced by the injuries received
at the hands of her husband. The
principal wound is a fracture three
inches long breaking through the
scalp and bone from which particles
Of bone and foreign matter were re-
moved by Drs. Church and Carmi-
chael. who also resorted to a COM
preston operation to relieve the pres
sure on the brain. The outcome is
very doubtful.
The motive for the crime is alleged
to be contained in a letter found by
the officers In the Blocker home. This
letter, signed by the wife, set forth
that she was tired of his cruelty and
that she had determined to leave him
for good.
A later account states the woman
died Saturday and that Blocker has
been charged with murder.

COAL FRE|GHTS TO
NEVADA REDUCED

Freight rates on coal from Utah
and Wyoming to points in Nevada
we're held to be too high by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in com
parison with rates on the same pro-
duct two other points in the West and
the railroads have been ordered to re-
duce them by amounts ranging from
ten to twenty per cent. says a Wash
ington dispatch to the Reno Gazette.
The decision fixed the fair rate
from the fields mentioned to points
on the Western Pacific between Ola
and Golconda at $3.50 per ton; to
Winnemucca $3.50; to points between
Benin and Reno, inclusive on the
Southern Pacific and run between
Krum and Reno. inclusive, on the
Western Pacific to $6.25; to points on
the Los Angeles and Salt Lake be-
tween Lien and Caliente and to Pr
oche at $3.50; to Etna, Taylor, Spur
and Slime, $3.50, and to points be-
tween Boyd and Roach on the Los
Angeles and Salt Lake at 81.
Rules were laid down to bring
about proportional reductions at 9TH
err Nevada consuming points which
we're not specified in the descriptions
given.
This reduction in rates came as the
result of a petition fled by the Ne
vada Public Service Commission over
a ear ago. The hearing was held
in April. 1921, with the Reno Cham
Der of Commerce participating in the
case with the Public Service Commits
sion.
The present rates to Reno is ST.
12k per ton; to Winnemucca $6.75
per ton, and to points east of Winnie
mucca S6.37h per ton.
According to the dispatch there
will probably be a reduction on
branch line roads. which will not be
known until copies of the decision of
the commission are received. This Is
taken to indicate that Goldield and
Tonopah will be given proportionate
reductions, according to e. H. Walker

M FOOLED BY
CHOCTAW INDIANS

Grounded circuits, cut-ins on wires,
trenches enabled the Boche to do a
great deal Of harmful listening-in on
the French, British and American
telephone communications.
The Allied commands were aware
of this serious situation, and every
imaginable precaution was taken to
stop this dangerous leakage. Ger
man expedients had been so success
full, however, that the Boche became
oyer-confident. Once, when an army
telephone operator in his dug-out ex-
change was trying to get the COM
mander of the LIST Division for Gen
eral Traub, he called over the wire
in the usual code that Petite Dink
wanted to talk with Grizzly Bear.
This was too much for the patience
of the Boche who was listening In.
He butted in without any pretense
whatsoever.
why don't you say General Traub
wants to talk to General Billiard?
Anyway, Billiard has gone down the
line to a conference.
This little taunt certainly made
Fritzie feel better. but 1t led to his
downfall. There were $50 American
Indians in the 142nd Infantry. Eight
OF these. all of the same tribe, were
detailed under Chief George Bacon
rind to transmit orders over the tele-
phone in that part of the front line.
The first transmissions under this
new regime were made in pure Choc-
taw.
Then Fritzie gave 1t up for a hard
job.

REWARD OF $500

by receiving a check from the State
Treasurer for $500 as a reward for
his efforts in securing the conviction
of Cooney Clifford for rustling stock
from the range of the United Cattle
and Packing Company. Bruno has
spent his entire life riding in Nye and
Lincoln counties having been reared
in the former and taking to the sad
die almost as soon as he was able to
toddle from the cradle. He is a most
expert trailer and Ira F. Murdoch,
manager of the United, says 1t was
due to the unerring instinct of Bruno
that Clifford was detected.
The stock had been driven ten
miles over a rough and rocky coun-
try, where the average man could not
discern the faintest trace Of a trail.
