MOORE s SALARY
FIXED BY COURT
Judge McNamara DEGREES That the
County Commissioners Were
Within Rights in Setting
Salary at $125 Month

A decision received in the county
clerks office today, setting the sal
airy of Constable N. P. Moore at
$125 per month, will probably set
tie that matter, for under present
arrangements Moore is also en-
ployed as Chief of Police, the city
paying him $75 month, the inten-
tion having been. announced by the
councilmen that in case the salary
was set at $3.50 per month from
the county Moore's city salary
would be cut to $50 per month
thus assuring him of 5000 per
month regardless of what pay he
might receive from the county,
Therefore Moore has nothing to
gain by pressing the suit further.
Judge Mcnamara wrote the de-
cision, he having heard the case
while sitting for Judge Callahan in
district court here. Moore con-
tended that his salary was set by
legislative action at $3.50 per month
as constable and that the county
commissioners had no constitutional
right to reduce such salary to $125.
Mcnamara decided that law gave
the commissioners the right to de-
termine constables' salaries and for
that reason ordered that judgment
be entered for Moore at the rate
# $125 per month. The suit, COW
cred a period of only two months
and some days and the judgment
thus gives Moore only $s61.62 and
costs of the suit, but as the action
was brought to determine whether
Moore should be paid at the rate of
s125 or $3.50 per month during the
time his salary was paid at the rate
of $5 per year, the total amount he
will have recovered will be greatly
in excess of that amount, figuring
at the difference between $125 pei
month and $5 per year over a pc
riod of year and half-the ap.
proximate length of time Moore
served IS constable. to complete tbs
term of Jack Nelson, who was mur
dered shortly after having beer
elected to that office.

COUPLE TAKEN ON
WHITE SLAVE Law
Thomas Corham, Western Pacific
Brakeman, and Fay Pearce Ar
rested ON Mann Act Charge
Originating at El Paso

Acting upon telegraphic instruc-
tions from the department of JUS
tice, United States government,
Sheriff Geo. w. Brady took into
custody Thomas Gorham, a railroad
conductor who for the past several
weeks has been employed here as a
brakeman on the Western Pacific,
and Fay Pearce, who has been en-
ployed as a waitress, the charge be-
ing violation of the Mann white
slave law. Both were placed in Jail
Tuesday, where they have remained
since pending the arrival of a fed
eral officer from San Francisco, who
arrived here this morning.
The charge is understood to have
originated in Ell Paso, Texas, where
it is said the husband of Mrs. Pearce
resides and where Gorham was en-
ployed as railroader. 1t is also
stated that the action upon which
the government proceeded was in
s'iSdteu WHen ooIHdm StcuTeQ
railroad pass for himself and wife,
the presumption being that federal
officials may charge that Mrs.
Pearce accompanied him to this city.
This, however, friends of Mrs.
Pearce declare to be incorrect for
the reason that Gorham was in Win
nemucca some time before her ar
rival. Mrs. Pearce, by the way, is
a young woman of pleasing per-
sonality, strictly Of the southern
type. and has made many friends
while here who are loath to ac-
knowledge that she may be seriously
involved.
The Mann white slave act pro-
vides that 1t shall be unlawful for
any person to transports or cause to
be transported any female from one
state to another for immoral pur-
poses, and the penalties provides are
severe. ~
Upon the arrival here today of
A. A. Hopkins, special agent for the
-department of justice, it was
learned that Mrs. Pearce is being
held on charge of violating the
"anti-pass law" promulgated by the
interstate commerce commission to
prohibit the use of railroad passes
by persons not rightfully entitled
to use same.
The law firm of Warren & Dignan
was retained this afternoon by Cor
ham and Mrs. Pearce and it was
said that an effort is being made to
secure their release upon bail. A
hearing is to be had before United
States Commissioner S. j. Bonni-
field and II bail is provided, prob
ably in the sum Of $1,000 for Cor
ham and $500 for Mrs. Pearce, they
will secure their freedom, subject
however to the mandate that they
must make appearance at the proper
time at Ell Paso.

Costly Misplaced Comma.

The sentence in which mistake in
punctuation cost the United States
government a large sum of money oc-
CURED in a tariff bill about fifty years
ago. There was section enumerat-
ing what articles should be admitted
free of duty. Among those specified
were "all foreign fruit-plants etc. -
that is, plants for transplanting,
propagation or experiment. The en-
rolling clerk in copying the bill acct
IDENTIFY changed the hyphen to COM
ma, making it read ssall foreign fruits,
plants, ETC." In consequence for a year
until congress could remedy the mis-
take, all oranges, lemons, bananas,
grapes and other foreign fruits were
admitted free Of duty. The misplace
ment of the comma in this place cost
the government about $2,0OO,OOO.

PARROTS NOT ONLY TAKERS
Many Other Birds Have Powers OF
Speech, Though of Course Only
to a Limited Extent

There are many who imagine that
parrots are the only talking birds yet
there are almost, if not quite, a dozen
birds that can be taught to speak, says
Science Siftings.
Among the takers of the parrot
tribe the African gray parrot, the
white-fronted Amazon, and the double,
yellow-headed Amazon parrots are.
perhaps, the best takers. With the
cockatoos, the silver-crested cOckatoos
and the red-crested cockatoos are prob
ably the choice birds for talking pur-
poses.
Next to the parrots, macaws and
cockatoos, the birds most easily
taught to talk are the brown or com
mon mynahs from India. Some of
these birds, it is said are capital talk
ers. They are the greatest scamps in
the world, and enough to wreck the
morals of any bird family. One or
two of them have been taught to say
hello" quite distinctly, and once in
while they take it into their heads
to laugh a little.
Among the specimens of other birds
that can be taught to- talk, the piping
crow may be mentioned. Some of
these birds will readily pick up few
words of sentence, and they are
admirable whistlers, their tones being
clear and f1utelike

ODD BELIEFS ABOUT STONES
All Sorts OF superstitions Rife In Cor
tain Counties of England
and Scotland.

The Barney stone and the Stone OF
Scone are not the only stones which
had a superstitious value in olden
days. At Giamis castle, ancestral
home of the duchess of York, is st.
Orlando's stone, which was reputed to
have the power of prophesying future
events. Girls frequented the spot to
discover their destiny, and many a
lover went there to plight his troth.
According to tradition, some stones,
called "speaking-stones," call out when
a dead. body Is placed upon them, and
raise a sound to contradict anyone
guilty Of swearing falsely by them
Tho Llechafar, OF speaking-stone at
st. David's cathedral, served as a
bridge across the River Allyn, and 1t
was unlawful to carry a dead body
over it. When such a crime occurred,
voice in protest and split in two,
aghast at the indignity. There are
stones that are supposed to travel from
one place to another without human
aid. The dancing stones of Stockpool,
IN Pembrokeshire, are a well-known
example. On certain day these
stones are said to meet and travel to-
gether to favorite spot. They dance,
and after the revel return and resume
their usual places. Superstitions con-
corning healing-stones were formerly
very common. In Carmarthen there
are still traces of a white, soft stone
that was reputed to cure hydrophobia
At Iona an upright stone is said to
confer the power of good steering upon
any sailor who will stretch his arm
along 1t.
