What kind of stuff is there in a
fellow who will run over, a man
with a car and then speed away
without rendering assistance? Sun
day, a large sedan containing a
singing party which showed all in.
dications of being loaded to the
muzzle, ran over a motorcycle park
ed on the side of the Miller Trunk
road a few miles this side of Cot
ton, killed one of the occupants,
seriously injured another. and then
sped on. Theodore Hillengass, aged
20, of Duluth was killed and Wr
R. Phillips, aged 20, also of Duluth
was seriously injured. Every Mon
day morning such doings fill the
papers as the result of Sunday traf-
&c and carousals. All are. not as
devilish as this but the larger part
show the total disregard for the
life and rights of others. Last wiz
ter. the legislature had before it a
highway patrol bill which was voted
down as an unwarranted expense.
In our opinion a patrol SQUAD on
main travelled highways would pay
for itself. every Sunday of the year.
This squad could gather in the
drunken driver before he started
his jugernunt trip of destruction.
One life saved would be worth the
entire cost of the patrol !.

"Plans are on foot to have Earl
MacElwaine of this city meet Tony
Lickar of Ely, Mimi, in a fight IN
the near future. Tony has made d
decided hit with the fight fans.
He showed that he had real stuff in
him in his fight with Jack Allen of
Chippewa Falls. The fans would
like to see him in action again.
This last fight with Allen was not
his first appearance here. He
fought with George Brick last fall
and was awarded the fight after
Brick had resorted to foul tactics
and had delivered several foul
blows. Earl and Tony are both
good. Tony, travels faster and hard

packs harder wallop. The fight
will most likely come off at the next
boxing show.p-Eau Claire Leader.

The foreign nations have seen the
futility of beating about the bush
in the debt settling matter and
have come across with desire
to talk over the matter The talk
of debt cancellation has been given
a death blow by President Coolidge
who insisted that this kind of talk
was just so much buncombe and
that the nations holding out had
better get busy and arrange some
plan. England saw the damage be-
ing done its financial interests two
years ago by this hedging on the
war debt. Other nations, spurred
on by France have been resisting up
to this week when they also took up
negotiations tending to the eventual
payment. Maybe, when all this
money comes in, Ely will be able
to get that government building so
badly needed.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-06-26

The government has been unable
to help US out on government

tiers from a reasonable standpoint
The average postoffice is now Local

81 900 to $4,000 The latter figure
is only in very few and extreme
cases. AS the government Only

the amount allowed and give them

anything they ever had" The aver

ment business in S75, 600 building
than they do in their quarters cost
ing a seventh part of that figure.

We still insist that the police
officers of all towns should be in
structed to place in Jail every
drunken driver before he starts on
his trip, thus saving the lives of,
not only the driver, but of other
people whom he chances to meet
If the drunk only killed himself
there would not be such an awful
loss, as an idiot who will fill up with
moonshine before starting on trip
is not such great shakes in the
world, but to allow him to zig-zag
his way through crowded traffic is
a crime.

Washington. D. C., April 24, -- Rare cave pearls" odd ornaments made by nature out of tho same sort of oriental alabaster as some of Tutankhamen's vases, and large photographs of the great cavern where they were found are features of an exhibit of Carlsbad Cavern presented by the National Geo. graphic society to the National mu- scum,
 The exhibit is mounted on the main floor of the museum, Washing ton, D. c.
 The pearls and coraline ornaments were brought back by the National Geographic Society's expedition to Carlsbad Cavern, which was led by Dr, Willis T. Lee. Exploration has established the cavern as one of the most marvellous in the world in it's wealth of cave furniture" and the immensity of it's chambers. Presi- dent Coolidge set it aside as a Ma tional monument and the national park service is now developing plans which will make its wonders as cas- fly available to tourists as are the beauties of other American natural , wonders; the geyscrs of Yellow stone. the Grand Canyon, and the redWoods of California.

Nrliss Declares Old Elizabethan Dramas Are Being Dug Up
 Under Prctcnse of Art.

New York, April 24.-George Ar iss. actor, at a meeting of the Mer- chants association predicted a re- vival of the most risque plays of the Elizabethan period.
 Beware in the near future of the old Elizabethan plays that are go- ing to be dug up and presented in the name of art" he said. If l am not very much mistaken, there are managers diligently searching for the filthiest of these plays, with the intention of producing them because Of their filth and for no other req son."
 NIr. Arliss said that the "wave of Iindecency" in the theater Is chiefly due to tho old snowman "who is willing to degrade himself and his reputation" for financial considera- tions. Other speakers included Laurette l Taylor, Frank Gilmore, executive secretary of the Actors Equity asso- citation, and John Golden, playright and producer. Mir. Gilmore said that some objectionable scenes were justified as the stage tries to hold up the mirrow to nature and nature is not always lovely"

 Some of the cave oddities afford puzzles which have proved too deep for the cave explorers themselves. For example there fs the problem of explaining why stalactite growing regularly downward should suddenly turn at right angles, grow horizontal for way and then return meekly to Newton's laws of gravitatlon again by doing another column right" And why should a stalaetite after some years of growth downward, start growing in a cone toward the ceiling? And how can a Gordian knot and a Meduso head be made In stone? No satisfactory scientific eX- panation has been adavnced Tor these peculiar contortions.
 Rings show Age '. l. That stalactites and stalagmites, the limestone twins of caves, nave rings showing annual growths just l like trees, Is revealed in cross sec tions cut, polished and on exhibition. There is a basis, but not with as ac- curate a measure as found in trees, for calculating the age of the stone 1 icicles, by counting the rings. In these circles are seen another possl- bilty which is being probcd. Of de- ! termining the age of the Pueblo 1 Bonito Indian dwellings eXcavated by the National Geographic society in the northern part of New Mexico. i By comparing the rings in logs found in old missions with logs in Pueblo Bonto ruins, it was hoped that data could be obtained for fix ing the century in which this apart ment house" resounded with the sound of voices. But a gap in the ring measurements thus far prevents final determination. The possibility is seen of finding cave formations with regular growths whose rings would fit with the rings of the trees showing rainy years and dry years and close the gap in Pueblo Bonito chronology.

LEATHER NOT WEAKENED g

Washington, April 24.-Age alone has little effect in deteriorating leather, the bureau of standards has found by tests recently compiled, Samples of leather belting carefully tested ten years ago and kept in storage since, were again subjected to the strains which they originally underwent. The average loss in strength was barely 15 per cent.
 Extreme dampness and exposure 10 direct sunlight were determined to be the factors chiefly responsible for weakened leather goods during storage.

PANTANO IS FOUND
 GUILTY OF MURDER
Second Trial Fails to Change
 Verdict Of First

New York, April Anthony J, Pantono was found guilty of murder in the first degree last night before Justice Lewis in the supreme court Brooklyn, by a Wry at his third trial.
 rantano was convicted and sent 10 the death house in Sing Sing prison on February 2T lg@l, for complicity in the shooting to death of two west end bank messengers on November 14, 1923, when $t&,ooo in cash was taken, Joseph and Morris Diamond and John rarina were also convicted of murder and are now in the Sing Sing prison death house,
 He was granted a rrtrial on appeal to the court Of appeals, At his scc. ond trial month ago the jury dis agreed.
 The jury hearing his third trial, returned verdict Of guilty at 1o:19 last night, four hours and forty min- utos after it had retired.
 pantano received the verdict calm ly and walked jauntly from the court room under guard. A crowd of five hundred persons, excluded by Jus tice Lewis from the court room, were held back by thirty policemen as Pantano was led to the patrol wagon and returned to jail to await his sentence Monday morning. There was no demonstration.
 Counsel for Pantano announced that he would probably offer a moton for appeal before the sentence was imposed.
