A carload of hay from northern

ed. AS the same time the price has
gone up from s24 to SIS a ton In Ely.
There is a lot cheaper hay II It

supply points for the Ely district
have long been under quarantine
against the alfalfa weevil.
The White river supply being dis.

This results In making hay high
here but extremely low at places like

Gun Drops from
Bundle on AuItman

A double-action gun. half as long
as a mans arm, fell heavily On the
ground within six feet of the right
left sign at the intersection of Fifth
and Aultman streets one day last
week. It's owner was carrying a coat
and vest folded up under his arm
when the huge weapon worked itself
out and by force of gravity went
down to the surface of the street.
It's owner grabbed 1t quickly, then
quicker still tried to tuck 1t back
whence it came, but several persons
saw him and he decided 1t would be
better to take the QUILL by the horns
and not conceal 1t. Accordingly he
carried the gun down by his side In
his right hand until he came to the
door of a business place. which he
entered and passed from view.
No one but himself knows whether
or not the gun was loaded and sew
oral stories have had 1t that even
owners of guns do not know for sure.
In Goldfield during the boom days
a man was riding along Main street
horseback when his gun fell TO the
ground, discharged and the bullet
went through the neck of a young
woman named Burton. She died in
a few minutes.

HARRY LARSON HELD
FOR MANSLAUGHTER

Harry A. Larson, owner of a ga
rage at Milford and financial factor
of the company that puts out Hal
gasoline and oils in Utah and south
ern Nevada, is in trouble at Salt
Lake, where he is charged with man
slaughter in having on the Redwood
road run down and killed a child
named Lola Player with his car.
At the same place he Is being
sued by Mrs. Alexander Cantua for
damages for the death of her hus-
band, it being alleged that he was
run down by and killed by Larson
about a year ago.
Reports from Salt Lake say that
Mrs. Isabel Ditmers was riding in
Larson's car when the Player child
was killed and that she has made .
confession ut Beaver, at which place
she stopped after her journey with
Larson.
Mrs. dinners is quoted as saying
that the child's clothes or hair got
caught in the right hind wheel and
that the little one was flung around
thereby in a piteous manner. The
body, it appears, was found later,
and if the story is true it would
mean that the car was not stopped
at the time.
Larson is a contender with the
Standard Oil Company for the gas
and oil business of Utah. He has a
favorable contract with some indie
pendent producers of Oklahoma and
handles a fine product. He has sta
tions at all the towns on the Union
Pacific from Salt Lake to Las Vegas,

trade in Salt Lake itself.

GOVERNMENT CLAIMS
FRAUD IN CITIZENSHIP

Claiming that the action of Judge
McFadden in granting citizenship to
Joe Olaechea and other aliens was
a fraud upon the government. the
naturalization bureau is using this
plea in pressing it's suit in the fed
eral court at Carson City for can
collation. of Olaeehea's papers.
Homer S. Terrill, a naturalization
examiner, was on his way to Ely and
being delayed enroute March 16,
1922, he wired Judge McFadden to
proceed with the examinations. The
following day McFadden appointed
Charles A. Walker as a special ex-
aminer and March IS admitted Olae-
chea TO citizenship.
A. r. Bevington, chief of tho nat
uralization bureau, and George
Springmeyor. federal attorney for
Nevada, make the claim that the ap-
pointment of Walker was irregular
and fraudulent. G. F. Foreman
counsel for Olaeehea, and the latter
returned last night from Carson.
The case came up Wednesday before
Judge Harrington and after n pre-
liminary hearing was ordered cub
mitted on briefs.
It was shown conclusiyely that
Olaechea, who had served ten
months in France, was discharged
from the service without his knowl
edge of the application having beer
made nv his brother through tho
Spanish minister. The law provides
that he may. not be forever barred
from citizenship unless the applica
ton for discharge be made by him
self on the ground Of alienage. ant
ever though this suit NAV be wor
by tho government and his present
papers cancelled. he has the right t.
make a renewed application.
The brother, Salvador Olaechea
died at Tonopah a few days after
the governments suit was filed.

BERLIN, January 11.-According TO
Herr Becker, German minister of
economies and commerce. the French
occupation of the Ruhr basin will re-
suit in coal shortage in Germany and
decrease of exports, with consequent
increase in unemployment, misery,
riots and open opposition to the in
vading troops.
1.-THE trouble with France" he said
10 the writer today, will be that she
will seize enough coal to take care
of her own demands. regardless of
whether German industries suffer.
France will use German coal for ex-
port to Italy and Holland, which
countries she favors for political rea-
sons. The ultimate result of Frances
policy of ruthless reparations will be
that the health OF the German people
will be impaired and that there will
be unemployment and serious COM
plications in Germany.

Chicago Board of Trade Mem
ber Gives Figures nlus-
trating Need of Higher
Duties on Wheat.
In Favor of Omaha Plan

Chicago, Sept. 26.-seibel C. Har-
ris. prominent member of the Chi
cago board of trade, said today in
reference to proposals originating in
Omaha for increasing the tariff on
wheat imports into the United States
to AZ or so cents a bushel In place
Of the present rate Of 80 cents per
bushel:
There appears to be merit in this
suggestion. The farmer feels land
with a great deal Of justice) that the
manufacturer is given more COM
plete protection than the farmer.
"It Is all very well to make the
statement that an import tariff on
wheat is OF no benefit so long as we
produce an exportable surplus. but
this argument falls down under the
cold test of facts. When the farmer
sees No. 1 northern wheat selling in
the Minneapolis market at $1.20 per
bushel for choice quality and Canad-
ian No. northern selling at the
same time at 95 cents per bushel,
representing aAwheat Of equal quail
ity, when eastern millers are actually
importing Canadian wheat for do
mestic purposes, and paying the duty
Of 80 cents per bushel at the same
time that statistics show the United
States to have a surplus, 1t is idle
to state that a tariff is OF no value.
1T Is quite generally believed in
the trade that United States millers
will import and pay the 80 cents duty
on a large amount, perhaps 50.000.-
900 bushels, of Canadian wheat on
the present crop. This most GER
tainly decreases the price which the
United States farmer will receive for
his wheat. 1t should be borne In
mind that manufacturers in many
cases actually produce a surplus in
the United States and export this
surplus, selling 1t abroad at lower
prices than they sell the domestic
product. on account Of the tariff
which shuts out impcrtations.
THE farmer might produce sur
plus, but II that surplus 10 largely
west Of the Rocky mountains. as II Is
this year, It could be exported. and
at the same time, middle western
farmers would benefit by 4 tariff on
Canadian importations."
