HIGH SCHOOL POLITICS
UNDER FULL STEAM

for vice-president. Ben cited the
constitution which states that to
be elected an officer of the stu
dent body, the candidate must
have attended Clark County High
School for a year previous. He
attended Las Vegas High School
year before last, but was out of
school last year.
At this point Abe pointed out
that the constitution did not say
the years attendance must have
been Immediately preceding, but
merely called for a years pre-
vious attendance, so Ben was not
allowed to decline.
The office of Member Of the
Administrative Board" requires
some explanation. The Admins
trative Board is composed Of two
faculty members and one student,
a senior, all chosen by the stu
dent body. This board is sort of
court of last appeal in the matter
of differences of opinion between
faculty and students in the CIV
ing ofmeritS and demerits.
The election of Editor of the
Desert Breeze is usually held at
the time nominations are made so
that work may be begun on the
first edition of the Breeze. In
the present instance, there being
only one nomination, the nominee
was declared elected.
When nominations had been
completed, the candidates were
called on personally for speeches,
and every candidate mounted the
platform and said a few words.
Again, we might say that we have
heard Rotarians and Kiwanians
who did worse than these young
sters in their teens.
When some of the Freshmen be-
came vociferous in their applause,
Jimmie welded the gavel, and 81
lence reigned.
At the close of the meeting one
Of the upper classmen called at
tention to the fact that Freshmen
we're still going in and out of the
front door. 1t seems the upper
classmen have a rule which pro-
hibits the insignificant scrub from
using the front entrance. How
ever, a few moments after the
meeting adjourned the Freshmen
class some 80 strong, banded to-
gether, and walked out the front
door. We don't know what the
sequel will be, but some of the
upperclassmen looked sternly for
bidding, although they let the
matter pass for the moment. SEEM
ingly unnoticed.
On the officers elected at next
Fridays election rests the full
responsibility for successful
years work, and it would do those
who look on the younger gener-
alton with a sour and pessimistic
eye much good to attend one OF
these school meetings and see
how much down right common
sense they exhibit.

CHECK PASSER
STILL IN JAIL

Frank Pingree, charged with
passing seven checks Of small

gambling, still remains in jail
under miSdeameanor complaint is
sued by District Attorney Harley
A. Harmon.
The youth is, it appears, well
connected at Salt Lake City where
his parents reside. 1t is stated that
his parents were anxious for him
to attend college this year, but
that he disappeared and his where
abouts remained unknown until
his present escapade.
Mr.. Harmon this morning had a
wire from the Sheriff Of Salt Lake
asking that Pingree be held until
sent for, but not saying that there
was any warrant out at Salt Lake
A wire was also received from r.
Pingree, asking what trouble Pin
gree is in and if he needs finan-
cial assistance.

FIELD ENGINEER

A. v. Udell, field engineer for
Fred Bradley and the Bunker Hill
e. Sullivan mining interests, Is In
GOOdsprings making the final de-
tailed examination of the Yellow
Pine mine as the last step in the
completion of a deal which is
Of tremendous import to Nevada
as a whole and especially to Clark
county.
The taking over of the famous
Yellow Pine Is, we believe, only the
first step in a campaign of de-
velopment which will FINALLY in
volve all zinc lead properties in
the southern half of the state.
The ultimate development con-
templates the construction near
Las Vegas of great electro
chemical treatment plant for zinc
ores under a patent process con-
troIled by the Bradley interests,
which will ultimately employ sew
eral thousand men and use from
100000 to 100000 h. p. of electrical
energy from Boulder Dam.
In addition to the above means
Of transporting ores from the
northern districts to Nevada to
Las Vegas are being considered
and another nOrth-sOuth railroad
fs considered a possibility.

TERRIBLE CASE OF YOUTHFUL DEPRAWTy
'radey Engineer Starts Examination of Yeou Pine Mine
BRINGS HOME
TAINTED MEAT

While living at Kelso, California
when her husband was working
for the Salt Lake Railroad Com
pany, he used to bring home many
things he picked up along the
railroad tracks, claims Mrs. Verna
Fay milestone.
Once he brought home some
meat he had picked up, and al
though 1t was tainted, he flew
into fits Of violent rage when she
refused to cook it, but threw it
out.
On other occasions the husband.
George Brown Milestone, would
bring home clothing which Mexi-
can laborers had discarded, and
insist that his wife wash them for
him to wear. He also brought
home old towels and clothing pick
ed up along the tracks, and was
angry when she would not take
in washing for the Mexican la
borers.
All these charges are contained
in the complaint Mrs milestone
has just filed in the District
Court, and she asks that a de-
cree Of divorce be granted her.
The couple we're married in Dillon,
Montana in 1914, and there are
two children Katherine Fay and
Luella Eva, aged 4 1-2 and 1-2
years respectively. E. F. Dupray
appears as attorney for Mrs.

suggest that they attend one of

seen grown men in this town who
lacked Jinmie's poise and COM

TORTURE & MURDER
IN kHENCOOP USED
FOR DEATH HOUSE

Los ANGELES, Sept. Is (AP)
"A hencOOp death house, where
the warped mind Of youth guided
the hand Of torture and murder,
cast its sinister shadow over the
Riverside Orange groves today.
Four boys, perhaps more, are
believed by the sheriff's office to
have suffered and died in. the
NOrthcutt chicken ranch q few
miles east of here.
While the spades of the officers
turned the soil in a feverish ef-
fort to locate the graves of the
slain youths, grave fear that there
were other victims arose in the
homes of missing boys and girls
throughout Southern California.
The gruesome story of a fifteen
year old boy, In whose hands the
alleged tOrturers placed the death
axe to slay a ten-year-old lad.
started the police investigation
Sanford Clark, fifteen, told the
police that he himself had been
tortured and beaten, naming Cyrus
North0utt, aged 20, and the lat
ter's mother, Louisa Northcutt, as
the kidnapperS and killers
Narthcutt and his mother, who
are being sought by police, are be-
heved to be in Canada, while the
father Is under arrest In Los An
geleS.
The slain lads named by Clark
were Walter Collins of Glendale,
aged 10; Louis and Nelson Win
slow, IL and 10, of Pomona; and
an unidentified Mexican lad
The officers have discovered a
boys hand and clothing buried in
