SERVE LIFE SENTENCE
ite Board of Pardons By Vote
if Three to Two Decides Ben
Kuhl Shall Not Be Exe
cuted
'he sentence of death imposed on
i E. Kuhl, to be shot for the mur
of Fred Searcy, Jarbidge stage
ve, was commuted to life impris
nt at a session of the State Board
Pardons held Friday night. Kuhl
•s to have been shot on December
Fhe final vote of the board as re
rded showed three members of the
ird in favor of commutation and
0 opposed. Acting Governor Sul
an. Attorney General Thatcher and
ief Justice McCarran voted for
onmutation and Justices Coleman
d Sanders opposed it, the minutes
the Board show. The Reno Ga
tte says the inside facts of the case
e, however, that the first roll call
1 the question of commutation
owed three opposed to commuta
in. Chief Justice McCarran lining
i with his two associates.
After the board had disposed of
veral minor cases brought before
the chief justice announced that
iwished to change his vote and re
ird it in favor of commutation.
On the roll call Attorney General
iatcher was the first to vote. He
ited for commutation. Justice
inders then voted against commu
nion and he was followed by Chief
jstice McCarran voted likewise,
istices Coleman then voted against
mmutation and Acting Governor
illivan voted to commute the sen
oce.
All preparations had been made
r the execution of Kuhl. He
said have been the second man td
,ve been shot at the State prison
r murder. For the last several
jnths, ever since the State Supreme
rart denied his application for a
w trial, Kuhl has been in the death
II at the prison.
Members of the board who voted
favor of commuting Kuhl’s sen
dee aay they were influenced by
lefact that had his story of the
urder been related to a jury and
it denied the death penalty could
it have been invoked because the
ime would have fallen into the sec
id degree class.
Kuhl’s story was to the effect that
e killing of Searcy was the result
la quarrel between them when they
isagreed over the decision of the
)oty, the robbery of the stage hav
K been planned by them.
The evidence introduced at the
ial of the case tended to substanti
te the story told by Kuhl to the
Dard of pardons. Ed Beck, who
irnished the gun with which Kuhl
illed Searcy and is serving a life
;rm, testified that Kuhl told him
hen he asked for the gun that there
as a frame-up between Kuhl and
farcy to rob the stage and that they
ere going to divide the money.
Butter Best Beit For Coyote*
An Alturas, California, paper of
scent date says: The fondness of
syotes for butter, especially if it be
tale and strong, is working the un
oinj? of hundreds on the ranges of
'is section, according to reports
saching here. A ball of poison
eavily coated with such butter forms
a irresistible bait to animals with
isdain for ordinary baits and traps,
his new bait was discovered by C.
■ Bingham, a forest service man,
ad is being used both by Govern
ient agents and ranchers. Sheep
illing dogs are also fond of the del
tacy, it is stated.
Liberty Fuel On Market
Washington, Dec. 11.—The pro
bation of Liberty Fuel, the War De
'artment’s new substitute for gaso
bie, which can be manufactured and
aid for half the cost of gasoline, will
* begun by private interests as soon
8 the Government inventors secure
Meeting patents.
PERFECTS NEW DRYING PROCESS
To Keep Meats and Fish Eresh and Re
turn to Former State
A New York dispatch says: A new
drying process by which meats and
fish can be kept indefinitely and then
restored tp their former state of
freshness by the application of water,
and which, it is believed, will increase
the world’s meat shipping capacity
more than twelve times by doing
I away with the need for refrigeration,
has been perfected in the chemical
engineering laboratories at Colum
bia university, it is announced.
“During a period of comprehen
si\Fb tests,” the statement said,
“meats that had been dried and kept
a year were restored to their fresh
state and served in the homes of pro
fessors attached to the laboratories.
Three hundred pounds were sent to
acampin^he south and served to
the soldiers. Reports from the camp
state that those who ate the restored
meat failed to discover any differ
ence between it and strictly fresh
meat.”
By the process, it was asserted, all
bone, waste fat and connective tissue
are removed from the meat or fish to
be treated, leaving 100per cent food.
The meat is then cut into cubes, or,
in the case of beef, into steaks,
placed in a vacuum and subjected to
a period of drying at a relatively low
temperature. No other treatment
is necessary.
Research into the subject was be
gun more than a year ago at the
Harriman laboratories at Roosevelt
hospital under Dr. K. G. Falk and
Dr. E. M. Frankie. After the tests
had progressed sufficiently they were
transferred to Columbia, where they
were perfected with the co-operation
of Dr. Ralph H. McKee, professor
of chemical engineering.
FUTURE OF WOOL INDUSTRY
The governments of both England
and the United States are taking steps
to stabilize this industry which lies
at the basis of both food and clothing
supply.
The present domestic clip of wool
is already taken care of by action of
our Government and with favorable
State legislation flocks will increase.
To stabilize wool prices in the tran
sition from a war to a peace basis,
England has l«d plans to purchase
all colonial wools for twelve months.
However much Germany may need
wool, England and her Allies will
hold the whip hand by being the
greatest wool merchants in the world.
Continental countries are bare of
all descriptions of wool clothing and
will pickupall suppliesof wool handled
by the wool trade outside the Govern
ment control.
There is every reason to encourage
the increase of flocks.
Nevada State News
Nevada mining districts that were
depleted of labor bV the demands of
war and'the war industries are be
ginning to get back some of their
common labor.
The Free Press says the taxpayers
of Elko County will be called upon
this year to pay into the county »eas
ury the largest amount of money
ever collected for any one year,
amounting to $759,761.97.
The old camp of Aurora, one of
the first mining camps in Nevada,
will soon be deserted. All work on
the Wingfield properties has been
suspended there and the dismantling
of the forty-stamp mill will probably
be started early in the Spring, ac
cording to the Wingfield offices in
Reno.
W. C. Ralston, mining man of Reno,
returned Monday from a visit to
New York and other eastern centers
and says that with the war over in
vestors are turning their attention
from munition plants to other indus
tries and that as a result the mining
game is promised to profit thereby.
Considerable interest, he says, is be
ing taken in Nevada.
At Elko Wednesday Judge Taber I
sustained the demurrer interposed by
the detense to the third indictment in
the remaining case of the State vs.
Carey Van Fleet and directed that the
indictments be thrown out and the
case resubmitted to next grand jury.
The defendent’s bonds were exoner
ated and Mr. Van Fleet restored to
his liberty.—Winnemucca Star.
A LITTLE REAL BUSINESS
Western States need the whole ef
fect of injecting business methods
into their public administration.
Here is a little object lesson show
ing what can be accomplished by
merely applying private methods in
public affairs. *
In the Fall of 1914 the State of
Connecticut had a net indebtedness
drawing interest amounting to $10,
860,000.
Mark Holcomb, a hard-headed law
yer, who could not have been elected
in some States, was made Governor.
He put over a business system that
brought all departments under a
State board of finance, and he kept
his thumb on that board.
The joint committee of the Legis
lature on appropriations held its ses
sions with the State finance board
and the Governor had the veto.
Net result: in three years the debt
has disappeared, except some bonds
not yet due, but there is a sinking
fund on hand to meet them.
How was it done? Just plain good
common sense business management
that any city. State or nation can
get by insisting on it.—The Manu
facturer.
