Winnemucca n. S. Lad
Before Chicago Judge

CHICAGO, April 6, (F)-There is
a time and place for everything,
and Chicago is not a whoopee CEN
ter, a young man from Winnemuc-
ca. Nevada, was advised today by
Judge f. L. Fairbark.
The young man was Robert
Ginghry. popular captain and star
Of his home town basketball team
competing in the University of
Chicago turnament. The charge
was disturbing the peace.
Honestly, judge. we were only
making whooppee." pleaded the
captain, who, with his teammates,
was wearing cowboy regalia, silk
shirts, handkerchiefs and ten-gal-
lon hats, just like rodeo stars.
Inasmuch as the honesty and
integrity" of the boys had been
testified to in kilograms from Gov
ern0r Fred B. Balzar of Nevada
and H. N. Adams. president of the
Western Pacific railroad, the judge
was inclined toward leniency.
III let you go this time" he
informed the troubled young man.

move too fast. There are many I'M
portant matters which require
careful consideration and the mat
ter of specifications and details OF
finish cannot be decided off hand
Il am anxious to push the hotel
enterprise just as fast as 1t can
wisely be done, but in an enter
prise involving the expenditure OF
three quarters Of a million dollars
nothing is gained by trying tc
start before you are ready
The conference with the archl-
