many opportunities to broadcast
the gospel right near our neigh

FEDERAL COURT
SHOULD BE- HERE

A wire was dispatched to our
representatives in Congress BY the
local Chamber of Commerce this
morning, protesting against the
changing OF the Federal court
sessions from Carson City to Reno,
or against the establishment OF a
second Federal Court at the
Washoe county seat.
This action was taken following
the receipt of a letter by the
Editor of the Age from the Car
son City Chamber of Commerce
urging that prominent citizens
register an expression OF opinion
on the contemplated move.
DR.. Roy w. Martin, president,
consulted with some of the prom
inent business men whom he was
able to reach, and the opinion ex-
pressed generally, was that the
Federal Court should remain at
Carson City on account OF the
fact that quarters are already
established at the capital city,
there is a splendidly equipped
library, and the State Supreme
Court sits there.
It was pointed out that chang
ing the location of the court
would add 30 miles to the two
days trip already required for
litigants from the southern part
Of the state.
In discussing the matter OF es-
tablishment of a second Federal
Court at Reno, unanimous COM
ment was to the effect that If a
second court is financially possible,
it should be established in the
southern or eastern part OF the
state, as a relief to litigantS who
are forced to travel a long dis
tance.
1t was agreed that Reno should
have new poStoffice building,
sufficient to accommodate her
steady and substantial growth, and
that without delay, but the ap-
parent maneuver to begin the re-
moval of the capital from Carson
City was not looked upon with
favor.
AS one man remarked Let's
keep the capital at Carson City.
Reno, Las Vegas and other cities
are well able to grow and progress
without taking away the means OF
subsistence from the romantic
city of Nevada's early history"

JUDGE APPOINTS BOARD
TO TEST SUSPECTS
SANITY

RIVERSIDE, Jan. 3, R-
Judge Freeman appointed a
commission today to examine
Gordon Stewart NorthcOtt,
charged with the murders of
several small boys on the
WineviIle murder farm" near
here.
The court granted the motion of
Norbert Savay, Northcott's counsel
after bitter clash between the
court and Savay in which the
Judge threatened to place the
lawyer under arrest for contempt
of court
The clash grew out of an at
tempt on the part of Savay to
read an affidavit charging in
sanity against the defendant while
the jury was in the room. The
court ordered the jury to leave
and Savay objected.
RIVERSIDE, Jan. 2, R-Gor-
don Stewart Northcott who went
to trial this morning for the muir
der Of three small boys whom he
is accused Of first mistreating,
won a victory when Judge Morton,
before whom the trial was to have
been heard disqualified himself
for prejudice and named Judge
George Freeman to try the sensa-
tional case.
From San Quentin penitentiary,
where she is serving life SEN
tence for the murder Of little
Walter Collins, Mrs. Sarah Louise
Northcott, Gordon's mother, sent
q telegram to the court confess
ing all the crimes for which her
son must answer.
Despite this gesture on the part
of the mother, District Attorney
Redwine declared that he will
proceed with the prosecution OF
Gordon Northcott.
The removal Of Judge Morton
followed the motion of Northcott'S
counsel supported by affidavits
citing the tilt between the Judge
and Northcott when the youth was
arraigned. Judge Morton was de-
clared in the affidavits to have
used language toward the defend
ant indicating that he had form
ed an opinion and was prejudiced

1T was a sunshiny day-one Of
those wonderful desert days
when a swift breeze sends all
hands to the fields to harvest the
crop. Children love to play on
days like these. Imprisoned by the
heat of the summer sun most any
ranch will reveal a crowd OF
laughing dancing youngsters play
ing hide and seek among the tall
grass of an oasis spot.
It was a day like that when
Martin Eaton and his playmateS
discovered a funny looking little
frog sitting On the edge Of an r-
rigation canal Martin was four
years old. He was the youngest
Of the bunch and SO it was HE who
was chosen to get q long stick to
hit the frog with. And so he
scampered off obedient to the
command Of the leader"
But Martin didn't come back
that day. No,-a huge tank-hke
mower had borne down upon him
and mercilessly cut from the lit
tie body both Of his feet. But
Martin didn't cry. He was some
what of a philosopher. When they
took him to the hospital he whis-
pered to the nurse, Never mind,
I'll Diet a new pair pretty soon"
But the Eatons, after inveSti-
eating the cost of artificial feet,
found that the cost was far too
great. And so it looked as If lit
tie Martin would be helpless for
many years to come, UNTIL the
boys plight was brought to the
attention of Bert Henderson, Las
Vegas Kiwanian, who thought
"There ought to be some way for
that little fellow to have feet"
And there was.

Bert got busy among the vari-

response was immediate. More
than enough was got together in
no time for the purchase of the
feet. And further, Martin is going
to remain at the Orthopoedic
Hospital in Los Angeles until he
learns how to use them.
There never was a happier smile
on the face Of boy in the world
than reached from ear to ear on
the face Of Martin Eaton as he
left Las Vegas this morning by
automobile in charge of County
Nurse Luciel WitherS.
IT told the nurse at the hos
pital that I'd have a new pair Of
feet pretty soon. And I'm goin' to
get 'em now," said Martin as he
left town this morning, 2 years
after the loss of the members.
Yes, Mr.. Mencken, there are
hearts among this race Of men.
There are human sympathies that
reach out and grip these strings
producing a concord Of sound
strange to ears of bigots. There
are songs that are sung away
from the luncheon table that are
more resonant than the dirty bal
lads of your green stained omnibus

Elwood Mead this morning In
dicating that . much larger
number of men than at first
anticipated viii be employed
in the construction work of
the Boulder Dam project.
The telegram was in response to
a message sent the Commissioner
of Reclamation yesterday by The
Age to certify report which has
been circulated that a smaller
number of men would be en-
ployed.
Figures Incomplete
DR.. Mead, in his telegram, in
dicated that the figures quoted in
a press dispatch were meant for
certain phase of the project
not the construction work as a
whole.
It did not seem feasible to The
Age that as few as 1000 men
could possibly complete project
as large as the Boulder Dam. But
it is now understood. The 2OOO
men will be the first contingent
of employees. This number does not
include the thousand or more who
will precede the dam construction
work in the surveying and laying
out of the 80 miles of railroad
line which will no doubt be triple
trackage. There will also be need
ed much yardage at the dam site
and in Las Vegas. To complete
this project in time for the early
construction Of the dam it is
estimated that no less than 1900
men will be employed.
Larger Force
If all Of the development at
Boulder Dam is carried on at
the same time, according to
DIR. Mead's telegram, q much
larger force will be needed.
And it is a well known fact that
Raymond F. Walter, newly ap-
pointed chief engineer in charge
of the construction of the huge
dam is In favor of throwing every
phase Of the construction into
play at the same time. This he
has done on every great project he
has heretofore directed. In this
case a conservative estimate,
among engineering circles is that
more than 1000 men, in all
branches, will be needed.
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, Jan.
8. lP)-Those in on the know pre-
dict an early ratification Of the

Every civic organization in the
state is bringing pressure to bear
upon the legislators to bring the
matter up at the earliest moment
and it is expected that the next
six months will see Utah's sigma
ture on the important document.
This means that whether or not
Arizona, who seems to be the
stormy petrol of the seven inter-
ested states, comes into the agree
ment its ratification is certain.
The State Bar Association is
cooperating with the various civic
organizations by interpreting the
meaning of the many provisions
of the bill so that clearer and
more expeditions discussion may
be enjoyed.
