SEARCHLIGHT ATTY.
DIES AT NEEDLES
Automobile Wreck Near the
River City Causes Fatal
Injuries To Judge cabeII.-
Rumors Reaching Vegas
State Death of A. S. Gaines

Death claimed r. II. Cabell Of
Searchlight at Needles Sunday, the
result of an automobile accident,
when the car in which Caben was
riding with two companions ran
into an abutment on the road near
the southern city. Details Of the
accident we're meagre last evening
at the time of going to press, but
all Information available was to
the effect that the car was over
turned. Apparently not seriously
hurt, the occupants righted the car
and turning around drove back to
Needles, where Mr.. Cabell walked
mot the doctors office, and soon
expired.
Wires received in Vegas yester-
day morning stated that A. s.
Gaines, Justice of the Peace of
Searchlight had been killed, and
asked the local Elks lodge, OF
which Gaines was member whe-
ther burial should be held in
Needles. Since Judge Gaines vas
q Nevada of many years standing,
officers Of the Elks thought it
would be desirable for him to be
buried in Nevada, and Exalted Rul-
er started at once with Fred S.
Pennington of the Las Vegas
Funeral Home to bring home the
body.
On reaching Searchlight they
found Judge Gaines very much
alive, and returned to Las Vegas,
bringing the word tina it was r.
II. Catbell, instead of A. S. Gaines
who was the victim of the acci-
dent.
Mr. Cabel was a member of the
Clark County Bar, and had been
resident of Searchlight for twcn-
ty years. He was considerable of a
recluse, and spent much of his
time studying, having rather ex-
tenSive library for such a small
place as Searchlight. He also mad
some promising mining properties.
Judge Cabell was a product of
the old time South and i'll his

Cobb's Judge Priest. His manners
were courtly, his learning brilliant,
and one often wondered what per-
sonal tragedy brought a man of SO
much promise to desert mining
camp to spend his declining
years.
Born in Virginia. and educated
In that proud state, Judge Caoell,
was one of long line of lawyers
and statesmen. He is said to have
q wife and family of grown chill

His death marks the passing of
one more of Nevada's silent men.

The fourth annual tri-state trap
shoot held under the auspices Of
the Las Vegas Athletic Club of
Union Pacific Employees Saturday
and Sunday, February 18th AMI
18th was very successful, the meet
bringing more than four hundred
visitors 10 Las Vegas for those two
days.
Instead of being a tri-state shoot,
visitors were present from oregon,
Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, California
and many points in Nevada. A
special train arrived from Los Ar =
geleS at eight o'clock Saturday
morning bringing more than two
hundred visitors from California.
AS usual, the Pacific Electric COM
pany of Los Angeles furnished the
largest delegation at this meet,
there beng one hundred thirty
employees of that company present.
2.le Un,0n Pacific Athletic Club OF
los Angeles was represented by a
large delegation, the Redondo ElkS
we're well represented and num-
Der of those who attended this
year were among those present at
last years shoot and expressed the
hope that, during February 1929,
they would be invited to return.
Besides the two Las Vegas Uri;n
Pacific teams and the local Elks
The shooters of Las Vegas play
ea a very prominent part during
the meet, being represented by
two U. P. teams and the E1ka
team.
There were many valuable tro-
phies and prizes distributed to the
winners at the banquet which was
held at the depot restaurant Sun
day evening. Mr.. r. r. Smith of
Los Angeles acted as toastmaster
as substitute for General Manager
Knickerbocker who was unable to
attend. Mr.. Smith has personally
worked very hard and to him much
credit is due for the success had in
this and previous athletic events at
Las Vegas. DR.. r. w. Martin, as
president of the Las Vegas Cnall-
ber of Commerce, welcomed the
visitors and urged them to visit
Las Vegas often. Mr.. E. e. Gun
ningham of Los Angeles made the
presentation of the team trophies.

phieS donated by the Las Vegas
Elks lodge. The other preSenta-
tions were made by Harry Killings

Heavy Burden of Official

Shaking Hands with Three
Thousand Guests No Small
Task.-HoW heyadans En-
ioyed White House Recep-
ton.

As have said more than once
before, NevadanS in Washington
are peculiarly fortunate In the
first place, Nevada has in Senators
Oddie and Pittman and Congress
man Arentz, public servants of
ability and experience who know
the ropes" In the second place,
Nevada is far away and sparcely
populated so that the number of
our visitors to Washington is small
compared with the number who
come from nearer and more popu-
louS states.
When one from Nevada comes
to Washington he finds that our
representatives are ready, willing
and anxious to do everything pos
sible to make the visit both pleas
ant and profitable. The courteSies
showered upon Nevadans are so
generous as to be sometimes almost
embarrassing because of the i'm
possibility of returning them.
So it is not Strang that, through
the good offices of Congressman
Arentz, we received in social look
ing envelopes marked in gold let
tiers in the upper left hand corner
The White House." handsomely
engraved invitations which said {:
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
request the pleasure of the COM
pany Of, etc. At the top In gold
is the emblematic eagle.
OF course, not wishing to diSap-
point so cordial an invitation from
so commanding a source, and de-
string to see how social and Off
cial Washington comportS itself in
polite society, we accepted. Our
little group Of NevadanS going to-
gether included Congressman and
Mrs. Arentz, Mrs. Bender OF Reno,
Mrs. Smith, George Malone and
myself
The invitation said "at nine
o'clock" We were informed that
when The President says nine
o'clock he means nine o'clock and
not ten or eleven as in some other
social circles. Therefore, Sam call
ed for us in his car shortly before
nine, 1t being but two blocks from
my hotel to the White House. So
we whirled away through the bril-
liant streets only to find the en-
trance to the White House grounds
blocked by countless automobiles.
Squads of policemen on. the Ave-
nue. were working strenuously to
preserve order and form lines Of
traffic. We finally found ourselves
in one Of two lines of cars a couple
of blocks away from the east en-
trance to the grounds, which we
eventually reached and alighted.
Midst the din of shouted direc-
tions of officers, the sounding of
horns and the slamming of auto
mobile doors, we were directed to
a door where an officer was sta
toned to scan our credentials and
usher us within For be 1t known
that every invitation from the
White House is accompanied by an
admission ticket on which Is the
name of the guest and the tickets
are most positively non-transferr-
able. And, Of course, full evening
dress is the rule.

recognize the deadly nature of the
load therein contained. Mr.. Church
continued:
Developments indicate that
neither Illinois nor Ohio will follow
Alabama, North Carolina or the Dis
trict of Columbia. Moreover, the
policy is an unwise and unnecessary
one that drags a religious sect into
politics and involves our important
universities in political quarrels.
In no circumstance must l be-
come party to such a situation as is
created for us in ignoring men and
women who meet issues daily and
create votes and elevating above
them those who dodge issues, cannot
influence single vote, have no voice
to raise when we are assailed, and
are Republicans only once in four
years, and then only by appointment
and not by choice of the people.
"To the fortune of Mr.. Hoover l
am devoted. Politically | am his fol
lower and supporter. Personally l
am his ardent admirer. Nothing that
my hands can find to do to assist him
will remain undone. Nothing / can
do in aid of you and your part will
remain unperformed
"Since this is so, I send you this
letter as the first duty ! owe the
colored Republicans, Mr.. Hoover as
our candidate, to our party and to
you as our party leader"
There is mountain Of truth" in
this condensed, common sense advice
and educating criticism. Personal
benefits must be subordinated to the
general good and experienced col
ored political leaders should be con-
sidered and consulted first and plans
laid afterwards. Hon. John R.
Hawkins made a great speech in
seconding the nomination of the Hon.
Herbert Hoover as President Of the
United States. He can make a
greater one both in purpose and
practice by harmoniZing these lead
ers who refuse to accept his leader
ship or the manner of his appoint
ment.
His true greatness will be shown
by his action in the present crisis.
His third and last blunder to date
was the reported naming by him of
j. Finley Wilson as a member OF
this same committee and the refusal
of Finley" to accept the same. He
should have known that j. Finley
Wilson and his newspaper, the Wash
ington Eagle, were already COM
mitted to Hon. Alfred E. Smith,
Democratic candidate for President,
and that Robert j. Nelson, one OF
the shrewdest political manipulators

POLITICAL BLUNDERS

The Republican National Commit
tee does not seem to be functioning
well these days through it's Colored
Division at Washington, D. Co. if we
are to judge by the reports now be-
ing published in the newspapers of
the country. Hon. John R. Hawkins
is leader and scholar and from a
religious standpoint ranks with some
of the greatest leaders in the African
Methodist Church. But has he the
political acumen and experience that
will enable him to discharge the
duties to its fullest extent in hand
ling the affairs of this great depart
ment?
As for Secretary Holsey, of Tuske-
gee Institute, his duties are entirely
