The town- president and the good offices of his Nevada friends who may have in iiutnee with "the powers." Judge Massey felt that it would not be in the best' of taste, possibly, to consent to an interview on the subject. It is thought by Judge Massey's friends, however, that the Hon. Sar Jis Summerfield does not seek to control the political patronage of the great ' State of Nevada. Summerfield and Judge Massey are said to be on friendly terms, personally, but as be tween Massey and E. S. Farrington of Elko and Reno, if it came to a question of choice between the men tor the Feueral Bench. Judge Mas sey's friends expect that Summer field would feel more like favoring Farrington on account of his politi cal affiliations. There is little doubt that Judge JMasaey s friends look for support from Senator Nixon It is said by them he is closer to President Roose velt than any other man in Nevada They expect nothing from Senator Newlands. Farrington was not seen yester day. He is at Eiko engaged in trying a case in court out he is expected to be in Reno today or by next Monday. No statement consequent ly has been secured by him as to the report that he does not desire the appointment to the Circuit Judgeship. Farrington is said .o have a more than ordinarily lucrative law practice. The salary of a United States Cir cuit Judge is ?.(KM) a year, and the job lasts for life, or during good be havior.

Ginnis and the man Freeman who escaped from the State Insane Asylum Thursday night, are still at large. Further investigation at the asylum yesterday revealed the fact that Gin nis made his escape in his night shirt. Inmates of certain wards are required to undress in the corridor before turning into bed. Ginnis fol lowed the rule as usual on the night of his escape, his clothes being found in the corridor showing that he had disrobed as usual. Dr. Gibson infers from this that Ginnis had assistance after he got out of the asylum. The superintendent thinks that Ginnis and Freeman remained in hiumg all of Friday night, and being fully equip ped by friends with clothing fand money, really began to put distance between them and the asylum beg inning with last night. Dr. Gibson says there is no doubt that Freeman was helped to escape by cm of the employes, or some other person inside the institution. He was heard to go out through and close one of the main doors which must have been unlocked for him. The board of directors for the state institution for mental diseases has commenced an investigation into the causes that led to the escape of Gin nis and Freeman. o o THIO IS TOO TRUE "The meanest corporation in the world is the Pullman Palace Car company. It charges excessive prices for the accomodations it affords and then makes the passengers pay in tips for the slight service he receives.
