WASTED ENERGY
There appears to be still a vas
amount of wasted energy, whicl
means money in the railroad busi
ness in spite of the appalling re
duction in the number of employes
Last night starting for the Re
publican National convention a
Chicaga The Observer was the fiftl
passenger to occpy the moderr
Pullman car Shannon, Leaving Sail
Lake City at 12:30 two more passen
gers were added to our number. A;
this car goes through to Chicago w<
may pick up a few more at Ogden
Nevertheless the fact remains thal
this modern Pullman, weighing pro
bably around fifty tons (the Pull
man conductor says he has no idea
how much) carried something like
ten tons dead weight for every pas
senger between Los Angeles and Salt
Lake City.
Which probably proves something
or other. Most likely that we, the
people, insist on expensive luxuries
for which we are unable or un
willing to pay.
PULLMAN VS AUTO
When one wants to travel without
effort or worry, it is hard to beat a
Pullman sleeper.
True enough, we love the swift
trips by automobile and the freedom
we enjoy in taking whatever route
we please. Yet trips of several
hundred miles by automobile entail
a certain amount of work, worry and
discomfort which is missing in
Pullman travel.
One can't lie dow-n in a comforta
ble bed and get eight hours re
freshing sleep in an antomobile as
The Observer did last night in the
good old Pullman car Shannon.
STRAWBERRY DAY
We came through Pleasant urove.
Utah, this morning. There they
have colorful decorations on the
streets and signs announcing that
this is “Strawberry Day.” We re
member driving through here on
Strawberry Day just a year ago
with Dick Miller.
Strawberry Day is an annual
event in this region, for the purpose
of interesting the world in the fact
that Utah grows vast quantities of
luscious strawberries, and that the
center of the industry is Pleasant
Grove.
We. in Las Vegas, have often re
marked the fact that Utah straw
berries have a luscious sweetness
quite noticeably absent in the Cal
ifornia berries.
SAINTLY CITY
At Salt Lake City our train waits
fifty minutes. Getting off the train
without coat, vest or hat, and wear
ing slippers instead of whiles, «
had the urge to prowl So we went
into the station and looked again
at the wonderful paintings at either
end of the waiting room, one of
Brigham Young and his party first
viewing the Salt Lake Valley, and
ar the other end. a striking picture
of the ceremony of driving the
golden spike at Promontory Point.
Then, still feeling the urge, we
walked up West Temple street to
Hotel Utah, which we found crowd
ed with folks here to attend the ses
sions of the L. D. S. Mutual Im
provement and Primary Associations
at which some six thousand are ex
pected. We walked about the lobby
but did not see anybody from Clark
county.
men we went to tne organ recuai
in the Tabernacle and, although
the doors are closed during the re
cital, we found means of slipping
out in time to walk back to the
train and have ' four minutes to
spare.
For the information of others
travelling this way, the taxi charge
for taking you around during the
train stop is $1.25. I find one can
walk a long way and see quite a
lot of Salt Lake City in thirty min
utes if he desires without paying
$1.25 for the privilege. And one
needs the exercise when traveling by
train.
LADY MOOCHER
My visit of fifty minutes in Salt
Lake City cost me ten centos. That
I gave to a “lady moocher" who
asked if I would help her to “a
meal or a sandwich, or sumpin,” So
I gave her a dime and she said
“tenks" as she wiped her nose on
her sleeve.
And so wre find the depression has
developed new varieties of misery
with which we previously were not
in contact.
PLANE FLIGHT
HERE DELAYED
Second Lieutenants Murray,
Morse and Bruyer, March field fly
ers, who have entertained Las Ve
gas with their daredevil stunting
over the city, flew yesterday on a
trip over the Grand Canyon, re
turning late in the afternoon for
another stunting exhibition in the
western sky.
Plans of the Las Vegas and Boul
der City reserve officers organiza
tion to secure several bombers from
March field were dropped yester
day when a wire wras received noti
fying the local organization that
the huge ships would be unable to

PARK CITY. «Jtah. June 11—
<U.R>—The comforts of home were
enjoyed today by six miners en
tombed for 30 hours in a tunnel
of the Silver King Western mine.
In the meantime rescue crews
dug away steadily at the barrier
of soggy earth only to see furth
er cave-ins erase their progress.
There is little danger The six
men—William O’Neil, shift boss;
Gilbert Carter, Clair Smith,
Clark Bennett, George Potter and
Mike Ruby—were trapped Fri
day shortly after they began
work.
Rescue crews penetrated the
muddy wall with pipes to drain
off underground water. Other
pipes were driven into supply
fresh air. Still more were used as
conduits for food and drink.
Inside the tunnel, the men
have connected electric heaters
and are comfortable. They arc
patiently awaiting their rescue.
GOLDlNMJ
PUNS SIFT!
By BOB SHERIDAN
Special to The Age
GOLDRANGE. Nev., June 11. —
Goldrange is the scene of great
activity these days. The townsite
itself nestles in the center of a
natural amphitheatre surrounded
by rugged hills. Homes are spring
ing up over night and still going
strong at the present writing. The
streets are surveyed and the lots
are staked in preparation for the
coming campaign.
Arrangements are being made to
have water piped to the properay.
Chas. F. Pugh ana his associates
have water piped to the property,
sinking of a shaft, the site of
which is to be determined by the
reports of the company's prospec
tors now in the field.
Speaking as a layman and basing
our comment on the history and
development of famous mining
camps of the past, we cannot help
but feel that Goldrange is destined
to experience one of the big booms.
Again drawing on what is common
knowledge to mining men., Gold
field's basic wealth was discovered
in a structure called "lower rhyo
lite" and extended over an area
of three square miles, while Gold
range, showing the same identical
formation, covers thirty square
miles. Goldrange is ideally located,
being ,at an altitude of 6,400 feet,
and blessed with an abundance of
cedar and pine trees.
Pres. Lous W. Cramer and Hugh
A. Shamberger, vice president and
general manager of the Goldrange
Standard Mining Co., started sink
ing their first shaft Monday on
their U. S. standard property in
the Goldrange district. They estab
lished a contact at the convergence
of two veins running north and
south and east and west. The pres
ence of silisified rhyolite and quartz
J together with the mineralization'
already present in the contact
merely bears out Cramer's geologi
cal conclusion that an ore body
exists at depth at the junction
of these veins. Their objective is
j 250 feet or more.
| The Goldrange Standard Mining
Co. is incorporated under the state
^ laws of Nevada.
| Mr. and Mrs. W. E.fcFerron and
i daughters returned to this city on
J Thursday evening from Los Angeles
where they spent several days on
a combined business and pleasure
trip.
Charges Against Gaston Means Will
Be Placed In Hands Of Jury Monday
-•
WASHINGTON. June 11 — <U.R>—
Charges against Gaston B. Means,
of embezzling $100,000 from Mrs.j
i Evalyn Walsh McLean with a prom
i ise to return the kidnaped Lind*I
' bergh baby will be placed in the:
hands of a jury Monday. The
former department of justice inves
tigator faces a jail sentence of from
10 to 20 years if found guilty.
Attorneys today argued technical
points. Monday they will summar
ize their arguments before a jury
of 11 men and one woman.
BUNKS OF VETS
MADE
WASHINGTON, June 11 —(U.R)—
With its ranks swelling hourly, the
bonus expeditionary force expects
to have 15,000 men here Monday
when the house votes on whether it
shall consider the Patman bill for
immediate payment of the $2,000,
000,000 soldiers bonus.
Walter W. Waters, commander,
and other leaders predicted 50000
men would be here soon, and word
was sent out to all cities on the
eastern seaboard to send reinforce
ments.
BONUS PLANKS
Leaders of the demonstration to
night decided to send delegates to
the Republican and Democratic na
tional conventions in Chicago for a
“pay the bonus" plank in each
party platform.
While their presence would be
ostensibly to urge a plank in one of
the party platforms guaranteeing
payment of the bonus, the move
ment would actually be more for the
purpose of bringing pressure on
congress.
Officials of the camp discredited
reports that a large quantity of ex
plosives had ben found in the bed
tick of one of the veterans of the
Anacostia camp. Captain Sydney J.
Marks of the District of Columbia
police denied he had heard of the
find, but at police headquarters it
was established that an investiga
tion was being made though no one
would discuss it.
The explosive was said to consist
of two and one half sticks of dyna
mite, six denotating caps, and 50
feet of fuse.
ucuuci a ui Lxxt? uuxiu^> uxinj aaxu
they had their own investigators on
the case, but that so far they had
been able to find only rumors. An
elaborate espionage system is main
tained throughout the organization,
and.leaders are confident that if the
explosive was actually found they
wilt discover the owner.
BECOMING PROBLEM
Warning that the bonus army
may become a problem too great for
local police was given by Police
Chief Pehlam Glassford. who said
that if the army continues to grow
the federal government may have
to asume ‘'control.”
Thus far no help or recognition of
the bonus army's existence has come
from official sources. Secretary or
War Hurley was appealed to by
Glassford to furnish the men, sleep
ing largely in the open, with pup
tents. Hurley refused.
The situation at the camps was
emphasized today by Police Captain
Marks, who said that in a heavy
rain, the Acostia flats, all filled
ground, are frequently flooded six
inches deep. Most of the veterans
sleep on the ground.
GOES TO CHAIR
BECAUSE PIES
TOO INFREQUENT
OKLAHOMA CITY. June 11—
(U.R>—Ira J. Alder, who said he
killed his brother-in-law and his
brother-in-law’s wife "because
they wouldn't ccok enough pie"
must die in the electric chair, the
criminal court of appeals ruled
j today.
Alder was convicted of the
murder of Mrs. Nora McDonald,
wife of his brother-in-law. It
also was charged that ho murder
ed her husband, Tom McDonald,
and attempted to murder his own
wife. His only explanation was
that they wouldn't cook all the
pie he wanted.
The defense contended that
such an explanation showed in
sanity, and sought a modifica
tion of the sentence. The appell
ate court denied the plea.
August 19 was set for the exe
cution.
With the major interest in the
Legion convention centered around
the activities of the men, the Le
gion Auxiliary quietly and efficient
ly conducted their portion of the
assembly, ending with the election
of officers for the coming year, and
were immediately waited upon by
a committee representing the new
officers of the Legion at the close
of the official sessions of both or
ganizations.
Mary Reed of Lovelock was
elected department president, with
Ethel Davis of Elko elected vice
president. Other selections made
yesterday were Tillie Blood, Las Ve
gas, national committewoman; Mrs.
Conunors, Fallon, alternate; Effie
Deadrich, Las Vegas, treasurer;
Dorothy Deckleman, Ely, historian;
rauia riaas, jsouiaer uny, sergeant
at-arms; Marie Gildner, Las Vegas,
president of district 2; Ruth Gal
legher, Elko, president of district
3; and Mrs. West, Hawthorne, pres
ident of district 4. There was no
representation from Washoe coun
ty, district 1, so there was no se
lection of a president of that dis
trict at the convention.
Mrs. Blood, as national comrnit
teewoman, will attend the 1933 con
vention, as will the delegates elect
ed yesterday, though their names
were not available at a late hour
last night.
L.V. DRUM CORPS
NOW “OFFICIAL”
Las Vegas Post 8' crack drum
and bugle corps, under the baton
of Don Borax, was selected as the
official Nevada department drum
and bugle corps for the coming
year, at yesterday’s morning ses
sion of the convention.
The corps has been practicing
constantly, and has been the fea
ture of every parade held in Las
Vegas for some time past.
185 EX-SOLDIERS SIGN HERE
FOR CAPITAL BONUS MARCH
- jv
Already under the stern discipline
of a hard boiled top-kick. Las Ve
gas’ contingent of bonus marchers
will leave here tonight, bound for
Washington, according to plans
formulated last night at their meet
ing.
With another meeting scheduled
for this morning, more than 185
men were signed up to make the
long trek last night, including the
aforementioned top sergeant and
Dr. A. Corfora. said to be licensed
to practice medicine in Nevada, who
will provide his services for the
marchers.
Kirk Ambrose and John Capp.
both of whom enlisted from Las
Vegas at the start of hostilities, and
who are now unemployed, have
been elected secretary and record
ing secretary of the group.
Speedy solutions of minor prob
lems is evidently a characteristic of
the local group, if the manner in
which a bugle was secured is any
criterion. A squad was sent out to
round up the musical instrument,
and- they returned within the hour
with the horn.
Transportation is the major prob
lem at this late hour, as more mem
bers have signed up to make the
trip than can be accommodated in
the cars available. Leaders of the
movement are asking any unem
ployed veteran with a car to join
for the trip, and thus help the
others.
A proposal was made to at
tempt to secure transportation to
the Utah state line in state vehicles,
the success of which was not known
last night.
NOT
ESGOfiTOF
SUICIDE
GIRL
.ALPINE, N. J.. June 11. flJ.R'-The
Lindbergh kidnaping inquiry took
another bizarre turn late today
when poilce discovered that they
were questioning the wrong man in
their attempt to link the suicide of
nerve-wracked Violet Sharpe with
the abduction and murder of Char
les Augustus Lindbergh, Jr.
BRINKERT HELD
Although Ernest Brinkert. White
j Plains. N. Y., taxi driver, was still
| held at the Alpine headquarters of
| the inquiry, Poilce Inspector Harry
Walsh announced that another Er
nest—one Ernest Miller of Closter.1
N. J., was the man who accom-1
panied Miss Sharpe on a tour of I
’ road houses on the night the babv 1
was stolen.
Walsh, who had spent the day |
questioning Brinkert. seemed con- !
fused by the discovery.
“I still cannot get away from
two important points,” he said. I
"First, why did Violet Sharpe choose
to be untruthful about her move
ments on the night of the kidnap
ing; and, second, why did her sis
ter make reservations to sail for
Europe just before the kidnaping
and then sail shortly afterward?”
WRONG MAN
Miss Sharpe, a servant, commit- j
ted suicide Friday at the home of I
Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow. Col. Lind
bergh's mother-in-law. while police
were waiting to question her. Twen
ty-four hours before she had point
ed out a picture of Brinkert as the
man with whom she had gone j
to road houses on the night of the
kidnaping.
The revelation that Miller and
not Brinkert was the maid serv
ant’s companion on that night came
through information supplied by
Septimus Banks, the Morrow’s Eng
lish butler.
Banks was questioned here yes
terday and said he knew Miss
Sharpe, it was his opinion that she
had at least one date with "Ernie"
Miller, of Closter, near Hopewell.
Miller was promptly brought in.
To the amazement of Inspector
Walsh, he admitted readily that
he had been w’ith Miss Sharpe on
the night of March 1. He named
i the roadhouses they visited to
gether and ihs descirption checked
with the story told by Miss Sharpe
theday before she drank poison.
STRAIGHT STORY
I Miller is about 23 years old. Walsh
said his story was straightforward !
and appeared to "have no holes
in it.”
As soon as he had completed his !
account he was released.
But Brinkert, the suspect police :
were pressing for a confession of
guilty knowledge in the case was
not released. Police said they were
not satisfied with his alibi, although
now for the first time they believ
ed his declaration that he did not
know Miss Sharpe or her sister,
Eda (or Emily).
Brinkert was brought here today
after his arrest last night at New'
Rochelle. N. Y. He has a police
record and formerly operated a tax
icab company in White Plains, near I
New Rochelle. A card from his
concern was found among Miss
Sharpe's effects at the Morrow
home.
