HIGH ENROLMENT REACHED
DY MARINE CORPS SCHOOL

by recording total of 5000 en-
rol.-nents, the Marine Corps Institute
has passed all previous marks in its
history as school for training Ma
riAes in commercial, technical and
9th subjects. Instruction is Civ
en- by correspondence, and las t
month 1900 more lesson papers were
rec c'ived than in January, 1922.
aarines are permitted to select their
own studies. More than l,C26 enrolled
for the study of English; CO.. in the
automobile course; 527 in Civil Ser
vice; 400 in electrical engineering; and
l78 are studying salesmanship. The
study of textiles attracts the fewest
number, only five being enrolled for
that course. The curriculem includes
more than forty trades, arts and
sciences, ranging from agriculture to
commercial law.
The Institute began as small post
war school, and has expanded to
point where about thirty-three per
cent of the entire Marine Corps are
enrolled as students. Marines in the
United States, in China, the Philip
pines, the West Indies and on U. S.
battleships all over the world send in
their papers regularly for examine
ton and correction, and hundreds &
successful students have graduated.

Gurney Gordon, a director of the
Como Consolidated Mines Company,
was appointed receiver of the com
pany following proceedings he had

$2o2, ,842, according to the petition for
the receivership, and creditors listed in
the petition include the Irving Nation

B. Goron, 5000. The company has
100000 tons of ore that carry average
values of $l2 ton blocked out, the

pressed that the corporation can net

S. P. WINS IN c. P. CONTROL

The application of the Southern Pa
cific company to retain its present
control of the Central Pacific rail-
road by ownership of its stock and
.slease OF its lines was granted Satur-
lay in full, by decision of the inter-
state commerce commission, although
the supreme court in 1922, at the end
of eleven years of litigation over the
existing merger of the roads, held
them to be combination in restraint
Of competition and ordered them
severed.
Further, the majority declared the
former policy Of the nation in de-
mandlng maintenance of competition
above all other things in transporta-
ton service had been reversed by the
congressional enactment of the trans
portation act of 1920, permitting gen.
eral consolidation of railroads under
government supervision. On this
ground the maintenance of the merger
of the two roads Notwithstanding the
courts decree, was declared to be le-
gally authorized and advisable in
view Of the public necessities.
Fhe opinion pointed out, however,
that the conclusions Of the commits
sion would be subject to review by
the courts before they could become
effective,
Commissioner Mccherd, in COM
plete dissent from the view of his
associates. declared the findings Of
the majority contrary to tho will Of
congress as explained In the legisla-
tive act which conferred the powers
invoked in the case" With conaais-
sioner Campbell, who entered par
TALLY concurring opinion, he con-
cluded that the Central Pacific COM
pany by its peculiar nature as cor
poration, could not legally lease its
lines to the Southern Pacific without
special federal legislation.
Chairman Meyer and Commissioners
Atchison and Campbell also suggest
ed that in consideration of receiving
the authority to hold the Central
Pacific, the Southern Pacific should
be specifically required to construct
the Natorn cutoff, new line in Ore
geR
Traffic agreements reached between
the Union and Southern Pacific sys-
Aenns and the Southern Pacific, al
living reciprocal rights for mainten-
ance of traffic service over the Cen
traf Pacific lines, the majority OF the
commission held, eliminated nearly
all Of the objections which the West
ern states and communities have
hereto advanced to the merger OF the
two roads.
The agreements in question, all o.
which are aimed at maintaining fui

Central Pacific route, which rum

TWO MEN KILLED
AT ToNOPAH

Two men were killed at Tonopah
Monday afternoon while coming of
shift in the Rescue Eula mine. The
dead are Lazo Kalajurdjivich, aged
about thirty years. One other man
Theodore Schlamp, aged thirty-five
years. One man named TRY Mo
nett, who had completed his first
shift in the mine is not expected tc
live, says the Gazette.
Seven men were in the cage riding
to the surface. Two men, MILO Ku-
liacha and Joe Pluord, had been TAX
en- on at the nine hundrd level, and
the cage dropped to the eleven hun
dred level to take on the remainder
of the shift. Monnett was the las'
man to enter the cage, and swung th'
safety door shut without locking it.
Kelley, the cage operator, was or
the opposite side Of the cage, ready
to open the gate on the cast side to
receive a man on the nine hundred
level from that side. After the sig
nal had been given to hoist, Pluore
heard the gate banging and called tc
Monett that he had not closed it. The
cage then began rocking from stri-
king the the wall-plate. Kelley lean
ed over to signal stop, and was
caught between the wall-plate and the
edge of the wall-plate, dying instantly
from a broken neck.
Kullacha called 60 lis companions
to stand together and ,Schamp fell
against the wall having his heat
crushed. Fred Fennell,who was
waiting for the cage on the nine hun
dred level. rearing the yelling gave
the alarm to stop the cage. Pluord
then climbed out through the top o.
the cage and made his way out by
the manway.
Both safety gates were torn off the
cage and dropped to the bottom Of the
shaft, leaving the cage jammed. The
first report said that seven men were
killed and undertakers and ambr
lances had been rushed to the mine
The only way of reaching the shaft
was through the Belmont shaft, in
volving travelling over three thous-
ard feet of underground passages
The accident occurred at 81.
o'clock in the afternoon and it was
not until o'clock that the first mar
was hoisted out. This was Monett
who was rushed to the hospital.

alive, but died shortly after arriving
at the hospital.
