FINDS EXCUSES FOR HIM
Out Of Practice, Unable to En-.
dure Mental Strain. Says
Leagues President.

CHICAGO, May &c ASSOCIATED Press).
Babe Ruth was fined 5000 and re-
moved from the captaincy of the New
York American club by Ban Johnson.
president of the American League,
this afternoon.
President johnson gave his ruling
after considering the reports of the
umpires officiating in yesterdays game
at New York between New York and
Washington. when Ruth disputed a
decision of Umpire Hildebrand and
later climbed into the stand after a
fan had made remark to which he
took exception.
President Jol.nson's finding auto
matically removes the ruling that
Ruth was ineligible to play. which was
promulgated by the American League
head pending an Investigation.
THE Ruth incident in New York on
Thursday is much to he regretted
President Johnson's ruling said "The
players conduct was highly reprehensi-

player lost his batting eye and returned

I'VE cannot condone his entry into the
grand stand to combat an insulting spec

League are pledged to protect the play
ers from such abuse. and in the main X
is my belief they discharge their duty In
that particular.
For this offence Ruth IL fined 5000

PROVES SUCCESSFUL

v A PRESS
OPPORTUNITY FOR
NEVADA

The Sparks Tribune, in comment
ing on the complexion Of the next
Nevada Legislature, remarks that
there is a great work for those men
who will legislate and IL they will
| embrace the opportunity and really
| get down to working for the best in
| ~terests Of all Nevada. every member
| can make himself or herself an en-
viable record.
Several important matters, says
the Tribune, should be brought up
| and from time to time suggestions
will be made regarding legislation
| that should be studied.
With election still fresh in the
minds Of all the people 1t might be
pertinent to suggest at this time that
election laws should be amended. AS
they are at the present they are un-
satisfactory. One amendment that
should be made and that will meet
Win uo oppOoithoh 10 ehoe "ASiO
there is no contest in the general
election, the names of the candidates
should not be printed on the general
ballot. At the election just closed,
there were eight offices in which
there was no contest and yet the
names we're printed and the election
boards were compelled to go through
the long performance of reading and
tallying the names, and 1t was a use
! less waste of valuable time and de-
layed the count many hours.
Another suggestion would be the
frightening Of the time in which
the absent voters ballot could be
cast, and ONE arrangement should
be made that deputies could be des-
ignated in populous sectionc to ham
die the absent voters ballots and
thus obviate the necessity Of going
to the County Clerks Office, or of
voting by mail. In Sparks alone,
there would have been a hundred or
a hundred and fifty more ballots cast
II the absent voters ballots could
have been handled in this city. The
county clerk was obliging in this
respect but the law would not permit
him to do other than he did.
An intelligent effort should also
be made to amend the primary so
that 1t will retain its best features
and at the same time avoid some Of
the expense incident to running for
office.

COMMISSION
SHOWS GOOD RECORD

A meeting Of the State Rabies
Commission was held In Carson last
week, but no quorum was present.
DIR. Records and Biological Assist
ant Z. r. Sans met with the Cover
nor and went over the accomplish
ments of the department for the past
two years. The record shows a large
amount Of work done.
POISONED GRAIN
The commission, In Its work of de-
stroying rodent pests. prepared and
distributed 36,745 pounds Of poi
soned grain in 1921 and 21,640
pounds In 1922, This grain was sold
last year for z cents a pound and in
1922 for 10 and Is cents. The cost
of the grain last year was 13 cents a
pound, but owing to the drop In the
price of s~trychnine this years grain
was prepared for about 10 cents.
This grain was widely distributed.
This year Churchill County took 127
pounds; Clark. ITO pounds; Douglas.
20 pounds; Elko. 1890 pounds; Eu-
reka, ESQ pounds; Humboldt, 2319
pounds; Lander, 600 pounds; Lyon,
IA pounds; Washoe, 85S pounds,
and White Pine, SIS pounds.
The cost of this material was large
iy met by sales and Mr.. Sans reports
that the county agent in Elko County
estimates a saving Of $175,000 In
that county alone Is a result Of the
cleaning up of the squirrels which
formerly devastated its grain fields.
PREDATORY ANIMALS
Coyotes to the number Of 1897
fell before the commissions hunters,
State and Federal, between January
1. 1921, and October 81 Of this year.
The kill for October was 1926 and it
is estimated that $4,000 coyotes will
have been destroyed in the biennium
when November and December work
IL finished.
COST OF THE COMMISSION
The cost of this work was borne by
the State, the Federal government
and the counties:
State funds expended, $33,609.19.
County funds expended, $3,922.17.
Federal f'ds expended, $~65.989.65
There was a return of part of these
funds, however, from the sale of furs
and the sale Of grain.
Fur and grain sales on the State
account were $13,8S4.01, while the
county sales are not reported. The
counties only began to cooperate in
1922 and their furs are not yet sold.
The Government sales are not re-
ported. ~-. .
FIR PRICES

FUR PRICES

Coyote pelts are bringing excellent
prices. A good skin will sell for any
where from $3.50 to $40, which ere
ates an incentive for private trappers
to work over the ranges. There are
no figures on the catch of private
hunters, but it is alleged that thous-
ands of animals have been taken by
such hunters in the past two years.
Coyote furs are used in the trimming
Of women's coats.

son, some easier methods in and aids
to home sewing. We only regret that
every woman in the county could not
be taere. The musical part of the
program consisted of songs by the
high school Girls Glee Club, which
were enjoyed very much by the aud
fence, and much credit must be given
to Miss Eichorn for training the
young folks so efficiently. Miss Nc
Nulty, the demonstrator who has
been working with the four groups,
gave short talk and then called on
each mailman of the four groups to
give report on the work accomplish
ed. The reports showed that the
clothing work taught is radiating out
from these four centers very rapid
ly. Nearly 200 dress forms have been
made so far and the pattern work is
proving to be just as important and
interesting as the dress form work.
Credit for the largest number of
forms and the largest delegation pre-
sent at the Get-Together go to the
River Falls group. They made 100
dress forms and 35 of the ladies who
have been benefited by the work were
present. The chairman of the ELS
worth group reported so dress forms
made, of Beldenville, %, and Maiden
Rock IL. Good sized delegations
were present from all these grovIos.
Co. Agt. Seyforth gave brief talk
after the reports were made. He told
low the work happened to be intro
duced into the county, gave the wo-
men credit for being splendid coop
orators, and stated that in order to
bring this fine work to more women
in the county, three more groups will
be organized soon and he has no
doubt that every woman in the coun-
ty will have an opportunity to get
the benefit of the work simply by
calling on one of the chaiIfnen of
the seven groups or some other wo-
nan who has had the privilege to
learn the work. The chief speaker of
the day was Mrs. Nellie Kedzie Jones
from the University of Wisconsin
Her talk was exceedingly interesting
II could sit and listen to her for a
much longer time than l did," re-
marked one lady. Mrs. Jones told
