SUIT FILED TO
PROTECT PUBLIC
CRIMINAL CHARGES TO BE FILED
AGAINST SUGAR SPEC-
ULATORS
SUGAR PRICES PROBEO
INJUNCTION TO STOP TRADING
IN SUGAR FUTURES IN
eTITUTED BY U. S.

WashlngtOn.-Crim prosecutions
may follow an injunction suit filed in
New York by the federal government
to protect the public against exorbi-
tant sugar prices.
The first phase of the governments
actlU-- It the alleged sugar con-
spiracy ,.... ~v..rIeted with institution
of the civil injunction proceedings to
prevent speculative trading on the
New York Sugar Exchange. The Grim
inal phase was held in elegance, but
Acting Attorney General Seymour an
nounced that 1t was under serious con-
sideration.
Final decision regarding criminal
action was said officially to be before
Attorney General Daugherty, who now
is at Ashevllle, n. C. He was said to
be considering request upon the fed
eral grand jury in New York for GRIM
inal indictments, under the conspiracy
provisions of the Sherman antitrust
act, of defendants named in today's
civil suit.
Another development in the sugar
situation was a report to President
Harding by the tariff commission
which found that duties of the new
Fordney- McCumber tariff act were not
u factor in the recent increase in su-
gar prices.
The commission declared the in
crease was due to other causes and
that if the tariff was reduced or re-
moved, the tendency would be to de-
crease production of American beet su-
gar and increase imports of the for
eign products.
The governments action in the New
York injunction suit designed to close
the New York coffee and sugar eX-
change and the New York Coffee and
Sugar Clearing Association, Inc, to fu-
ture or speculative trading in sugar,
was unusually speedy and vigorous.
At the White House, it was said, it
would be novel and important to deter
mine for the future whether the gov
ernment has the power to prevent
speculation in foodstuffs and also In
clothing, prices of which have ten
dency to fluctuate abnormally.
Two months of active investigation
by government agents in this country
and Cuba, precede filing of the in
junction suit. Although the depart
ment of justice plans were known to
considerable number of officials, the
move was clothed in secrecy, no indi-
cation being given that the govern
ment contemplated such drastic
action.
Officials explained that the civil
proceedings properly came first in the
governments procedure, the design be-
ing to use the Injunction to prevent
further increases in raw sugar prices,
which are reflected to the family
sugar bowl through the wholesaler
and retailer.
The criminal phase logically would
follow, officials said, if Attorney
General Daugherty determines that
the evidence warrants conviction on
conspiracy charges of those in the al
legged combination which it is charged
resulted in the sky-rocketing of sugar
prices since early February.

MYSTERY OF mike R|ORDAN AND
LOST MINE Of WARD MOUNTAIN

Riordan was foreman OF a mine at
merchant of Ely, was working a lease
at Feber, near Gold Kill, and had a
partner. Ii was agreed that the three
should go On a new searching expe-
dition. Mr.. Blose and Mike were to
do the searching and the partner. be-
cause of being an exceedingly close
mouthed person, was to haul water
for them from Lund. Blose and part
ner started in June but Mike could
not leave until n of his employers
arrived from the east, which was tc
have been in the first days of July.
To avoid being G in White River
valley Mr.. Blose and partner went
over into Railroad valley and stop
ped of Willow creek. They waited
many days for Riordan. Finally they
got word that he had departed from
Gold Hill by train and that is the last
ever heard of him. He had 500 or
$500 in cash on his person. Al
Wendover in those days were many
tough characters and it is suspected
that he may have been murdered for
his money and his body sunk in the
swamp.
Mike had told the others that his
burros were at Jarbidge and that he
might go after them, but if he did so
no trace of him was found there, GO
ing or coming,
Mr.. Blose and partner took a lease
ut Willow creek, working it until the
following January, after which the
former came to Ely and engaged in
business. Three years ago he made
a superficial examination of the coun-
try and believes he knows within
half a mile where the lost mine is.
He spent two weeks there but thinks
that to make the right kind of a
search two or three months would
be required.
It's history is far the more recent
of any lost mine in this part of the
west. The Breyfogle of Nevada is
supposed to have been found in 1853
and the Pegleg of southern California
soiho years idtei. o'dich ioi JUN
has cost many lives, upward of 100
ii is estimated, and other mines have
been discovered while pursuing these
searches. The most notable OF such
discoveries was the Reveille mine,
between Ely and Tonopah. II is pos
sible that the Sandstone at Goldfield
or the Glendale. near Salisbury
wash. was the Breyfcgle, with the
chances fayoring the latter, and again
1t may never nave been found.

CROPS AND WEATHER
FOR WEEK OF JAM. 10

Observer II. F. Alps of the Reno
weather bureau of the department OF
agriculture has issued the following
weather and crop report for the week
ending January 10:
Unusually mild weather prevailed
during the last week. The weekly
mean temperature at Reno was 10
degrees above normal and IL degrees
above normal at Winnemueea. The
highest temperature at Reno was 62
degrees on the 9TH and Winne,nucca
recorded 81 degrees the same day.
This was the warmest day in Nevada
since November 16, II and Is. There
was no precipitation except in the
north portion. where light amounts
were recorded. The wind movement
was strong. the maximum velocity at
Winnemucca being 81 miles from the
southwest on tho 9th and at Reno
% miles from the southwest IN the
4th. There was more sunshine than
during any other week Of the last
month.
The mild. pleasant weather was ia

ing quarters and on the winter range.
All kinds of stock are reported to be
doing well. There has not been much
precipitation during the last month

.X.RAY SHOWS BULLET
ENTERED FROM BEHIND

That the shot which caused the
death of Prohibition Officer Atha Car
ter could not have been fired by Bob
Raine, the rancher who is being held
in Jail at Eureka charged with the
shooting, is to be the theory OF the
defense. This is to be based upon an
X-ray photograph. which has been
taken up as the strong point in be-
half of the accused by Judge b. F.
.Curler. the eminent Nevada iurist
who has been retained by Raine.
Judge Curler says the photograph
shows the bullet 10 have entered at
the back of the knee of the right leg,
~coursing upward and breaking the
bone. lodging in the upper joint near
the front.
Statements made by the deceased
and Officer Pete Dubois were that
Raine stood with his back to them
as Carter approached and said
Hands up" Raine is accused of
having Immediately turned and point
ing a rifle over his left shoulder fred
the fatal shot.
The extracted bullet is said to have
been so badly battered that its cali
Der could not be determined. The
defense will contend also that Raine
was unarmed and that he had no
previous knowledge until the day be-
fore of the existence of the still which
was being raided when the shooting
occurred. This is a part OF a third
degree statement of Brite. who is
Jointly accused.
Raine was formerly married to a
daughter of Judge Peter Breen of
Eureka. but his wife some years
since secured a divorce.

M|LDEST WEATHER SEEN
IN NEVADA FOR YEARS

Never saw such Weather in Jan
uary."
This was the remark heard on all
sides during the last ten days. The
days have been sunny and mild, al
though the nights are freezing cold,
and 1t in most respects is a typical
winter. 1t is in marked contrast to
a month ago, when there were biz
yards and squalls of short duration
at intervals of every few days.
1t is nice TO be about and TO go
places, but even pleasant weather has
its drawbacks. The one great disad-
vantage of mild winters is the liabil-
of the air there is nothing to compare
with snow and cold. Given plenty
of both the winters are the most
healthful season, but otherwise they
frequently are the worst and the
most deadly. Nothing has happened
as yet this winter in realization of
such fears, general health conditions
being fine and never better. This is
only being noted in justification OF
fears for the remaining weeks of win
ter and those of the spring months.
II is claimed by stockmen that the
winter for their purposes has been
ideal. There has been ample NOW
to permit the stock to reach the grass
on the lower benches and well ont
into the valleys without suffering for
water, and enough moisture ana
warmth to promote growth in pro-
tected areas. Cattle least of all want
cold weather and a minimum OF snow
IS favorable 10 them. They do not
paw or nose under ii for feed like a
horse and cannot get by in 1t for feed
as we'll as sheep.
Most OF the roads affecting this dis
trict are open for many miles. Most
SUBMITS are p~assable. One excep-
ton is Jake's summit and valley and
any considerable portion of the Lin
coin highway between Hamilton and
Ely. The mail for a month has been
moved to Hamilton by team, the
snow being too deep for the truck
which the contractor had been using.
The drive is made in a day, horses
being changed at the Norman ranch.
The Schellbourne summit is open,
with comparatively little snow. 1t
has been open constantly. although
at a time or two the drifts were deep.
Corners pass has had considerable
snow in the canyon on the east side,
but just now ii is mostly ice and
most cars are getting over it without
chains.
For weeks there has been no snow
in either Spring or Snake valley. II
is dry and mild in both valleys and
the roads are good. In Snake valley
for a long time during the holidays
there was a heavy fog night and day,
but other than to make the air chilly
II did no harm. White River valley
is bare and Butte valley is coming
out from under cover after ? Icing
spell. Steptoe valley has been COW
cred with snow severa, times, but is
mostly free of it now, although with
quite a coating on the north slopes
as far up the canyon as Ely. and more
snow with n lot of ice in the morn
ings and mud in the daytime about
Ruth and Kimberly.
But Nevada has had such winters
before. The weather in January.
1913, was similar to that of the last
week and a half. There have been
others
