HOTEL TO HAVE RADIO
PLUG IN EACH ROOM

MINNEAPOEIS.-In keeping with
the rapid progress of the radio
movement, it will soon be possible to
"listen in" from rooms of a large
hotel here, which has contracted for
the connecting of each of several
hundred rooms with radio plugs.
The guest will not have to invest
in a receiving set, as headphones
may be rented for a small fee from
the clerks office.
According to the plan of engi-
neers who have worked on the
scheme for several weeks, massive
aerial and three power receiving
stations will be equipped in one of
the top floors of the hotel. Each
room will have a radio plug con-
necttd to one of the three receiving
sets. Feasibility Of the plan was
proved recently when more than 100
rooms listened in on one concert.
The guest who wishes radio en-
tertainment may call the Office and
a set Of phones will be sent ID MIN.
Once connec ;ed n the plug, the set
cannot be removed until released by
a hotel employee, thus insuring
against. theft by any inscriptions
guest. A small fee is added to the
hotel bill for the use of the re-
ceiving phones.

"Hooch" is short for hoochenoo, a
brew first made in Alaska. In 1869.
when American troops were sta
toned in Alaska, they were for
hidden to have any spurious liquors.
The soldiers took to making their
own and concocted liquor noted for
its power and vileness. The natives
called it hoochenoo and soon learned
to make it. 1t is said that one
quart was sufficient to craze the
brains of 10 Indians.

IS CHARGED To
BANK RECEIVER

The resignation of Frank l..
Wildes as receiver of the State
Bank & Trust Company was de-
manded by Judge G. A. Ballard in
the district court after the judge
had admonished a singing rebuke
to Wildes for the manner in which
the affairs of the receiyership have
oeen handled. Wildes was not in
court when the order of the judge
was entered, says the Carson Appeal.
In the same order Judge Ballard
also ordered the acceptance oil
bid of the First National Bank of
ronopah for the purchase of the
State Bank building at Tonopah for
$4,000 and a bid of the Nevada
Industrial commission for the pur-
chase of the State Bank building
aere for $4,000.
Laxness in business methods,
ignorance of and inefficiency in
accounting methods and extravagant
management of the receivership are
charged to Wildes by Judge Ballard.
Even an unprejudiced mind would
yiew some of the receivers reports
with suspicion it is claimed in the
order.
Wildes is directed to present his
resignation on April 30 and the
matter of compensation from April
15, 1921, to the time of Wilde's
dismissal will be considered at that
time.
He is ordered to present a simpli-
fled report of late transactions and
% include all items of compensation
received by him as receiver since
MS appointment.
Checks drawn by the receivership
for payment of all expenses must
henceforth be countersigned by the
judge.
The order of Judge Ballard is as
follows:
Testimony of the receivership in
many cases is very vague, often
inaccurate, and shows him to be
uniformed on matters on which he
might well be posted.
"A comparison of the entries in
his books and in his reports brings
out many discrepancies, not neces-
sarily working to the prejudice of
the estate, but which are so mis-
.eading as to cause even an I'M
prejudiced mind to view them with
suspicion.
1T quite often puzzles the re-
eeiver for considerable time to
rive satisfactory explanation clear
'ng up the matter, even with the
id of his account book and records
81 believe that the reports filed
n this court which are the only
public record of the accounting in
the receivership estate, should be
more full and give in more detail
certain items of receipts and ex-
penditures. 1t should not be neces-
sary for a person examining the
reports to wade through seven or
eight hundred pages of transcript in
order to gain true explanation of
any item.
Inc manner of the receiver in
giving his testimony, the conclusions
to be drawn from what is therein
stated and what is dismissed and in
sense evaded, together with the
physical condition of his books of
accounts and their indefniteness,
lack of system or even uniformity of
entry, shows such laxness of busi-
ness methods, ignorance of and in
efficiency in accounting methods.
extravaganza of management that
the court would be remiss in its
duties in relation to its trust If If
continued Mr.. Yields in the re-
ceivership longer than the exigen.
cies of the situation require. espe-
cially when considered in relation to
value he placed upon his services
in reference to the income of the
estate.

MESSENGER BOY
IS BADLY INJURED.

The other morning between IL
and IL o'clock, Louis Nelson, mes
senger for the Western Union, was
sent out from the office on a special
call, and did not return as soon as
is usual with him. At quarter TO
twelve, Costello and Brown, of the
Truckee River power Company force
at the substation noticed him stand
ing in daZed condition just above the
power house, and apparently hurt.
They went to his assistance and
found him bleeding at the nose and
covered with mud and dirt. He was
placed in the car and brought to
the Western Union office, and there
the operator in charge took him into
the back room and washed the blood
from his face. Believing him to be
seriously hurt, he was advised to 90
and consult doctor, and finally was
persuaded to go. The operator
offered to go with him, but he de-
cllned assistance, saying he was all
right and able to take care of him
self.
He walked, unaided, to the office
of DR.. Hamer, upstairs in the State
Bank building, and waited for the
doctor, who was absent at the time,
to return. When the doctor ar
rived shortly afterwards, he made
an examination of the patient to
ascertain what was the matter. His
mind seemed to be a perfect blank.
tie could not tell who he was, where
he got hurt, nor where he was going
when the injury occurred. Doctor
Hamer took the necessary means to
relieve him, and sent for his father.
and the boy was sent home. The
doctors examination showed that
the young man was suffering from
conclusion of the brain. Just how
serious it is, and what will be the
outcome, it is too early to express
an opinion.
The men at the power station
made an investigation to find out
how he received the injury, but
could find nothing that would show
just what had happened. He had
been coming down the hill on his
bicycle, in the middle of the street,
when the tracks showed that he
veered off and ran full tilt into the
deep ditch which borders the street
at this point. There was nothing
to show that he had been driven or
forced to deviate from the street
center by an automobile, or any,
thing Of that kind, and why he made
the sudden turn is still unexplained
The young man is well known in
Carson, and considered a very Quick
and efficient messenger. His habit
when out on call for a messenger
was to ride rapidly, attend to the
errand he was sent, and return to
the office. Possibly he was travel.
ing at rapid rate and something
happened to divert his attention
for a moment and he lost control OF
the wheel, and before he saw his
danger was in the ditch. At last
account he was still dazed and I'm.
able to give any account of what
happened.-Carson News.

The president of Harvard Univer

MS annual report: "The aim of the
American college should be, not to
give its students the technical train

to be citizens to develop those quail
ties that lead to the better life,
both for themselves and for the

reference to requirements for ad-

students to enter colleges at an
earlier age.

WORK YESTERDAY
SAVED THE YANKS

Second Day of Big

United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. October 1c.--Start-
ing ;,ll over from scratch whore it
is anybody s series' .hc New
York Yankees and the Giants will
resume the battle for world series
honors in the Yankee Stadium this
afternoon.
Yesterdays great comeback in
which the mighty Ruth returned in
full glory to his kingdom and beat
the Giants, to 2, put the series
back to one all and crouched both
teams on the line for new start.
New York awoke9. this morning
straining eyes to penetrate a heavy
fog all over the city. High up in
the sky the sun was battling game
ly to get through and the weather
man predicted Old Sol would win
about the tenth round.
There was nothing to the second
game Of the series but Babe Ruth
and Herb Pennock, the two star
soutbpaws of the Yankees. The
thrilling features and sensations Of
the opening game were missing be-
cause the Giants were most COM
pletely subdued and their chances
were killed as soon as they were
born.
Lost in the limelight of his great
hitting was most spectacular bit
of fielding by the great Babe Ruth
which had just as big part in
taking the heart out of the Giants
and winning the game. l,,
Babe Ruth Saves the Day
In the third inning Groh walked
with two down and went to third
on a single by Frisch. The score
was tied and Pennock might have
! blown under one of the rallies for
which the Giants are famed. Young
connected and drove torrid liner
over first base that was tagged q
double when it started. The great
Babe came in with all his ponder
Gus speed and pulled the liner up
from his knees. The players main
tain that this sparkling bit of
fielding saved them.
1t is a little bit of tradition that
the Giants never do much their
first time against Il good pitcher.
They were ready to be beaten when
Pennock took the mound and they
kept their necks practically barred
for the blow all the way through.
Pennock S fine curve ball and
his perfect control overwhelmed the
National league champions. From
b n,,f
Lut.
Only once was Pennock. in any
danger and then he was saved by
The quick working, alert infield,
which turned in double play and
retired the side and killed the
rally.
Yanks Cavorites Now
= in the sixth inning Groh, Frisch
and Young singled in succession
with none down and Groh scored.
Meusel then forced Young at sec
ond and when the outlook was the
brightest, Cunningham raped to
Scott and the play went Scott to
Ward to Pipp for a fast double
play.
The Yanks are now back in the
position of favorites Ruth is hit
ling and it is doubtful if the
Giants can stop him.
McGraw is up against it for
pitchers now. Nehf is a little bit
eff form and Scott had a doctor
working on Il sore arm yesterday.
The Giants have used Watson,
RYAN, McQuiilan and Bentley.
Nchf, Scott, Barnes and Jonnard
remain and not one of them is safe
as a starter.
Miller Huggins probably will
start Sam Jones today or he might
give Waite Hoyt another shot.
