RENO, Nev.. March 10.-(8perlal Tele
gram.) Sheriff Harris returned from the
north on last night's Tuscarora stage with
R. C. Hall and R. Vincent, who claimed to
represent the "Western Buyers' association
of Omaha and who were selling groceries
for future delivery and collecting cash for
the same. They passed a worthless check
and were arrested at Mountain City.
Km aping from the of fliers in the night,
they started on foot toward the Idaho line,
but the sheriff found their trail and fol
lowed them to an old cabin In the moun
tains about ten miles distant, where they
were In a freezing condition three days
during a tremendous snowstorm without
food. They willingly surrendered in the
face of death.
When searched about $7W In money fend
checks was taken from them. Whenever
they sold a bill of goods they demanded
and received payment In full.
A letter from the Wentern Buyers' asso
ciation at Omaha says the company does
not know such a man as II. C. Hall, but
described R. V. Haller, who worked the
same game through Kansas and Colorado
The deacrlptlon fits Hall perfectly. Cards
bearing the name of K. V. Haller were
found on Hall. Hall is about 33 and Vin
cent 30.
Clvde Rock of the Western Buyers' asso
ciation, Omaha, says the company had
trouble with Haller In Pueblo and at one
time tried to prosecute him. He sold goods,
collecting In advance. He was never In
any way connected with the company.
Mr. Rock thinks the sheriff of Keys
rnha county has a warrant for Haller for
disposing of a carload of potatoea without
right. .

Action Is about to be taken by the city
authorities to bring about better conditions
of living In certain districts of the city In
habited by foreign colonies of laborers and
colored people. It has long been a wonder
to those acquainted with life as lived here
that the overcrowding, which It is now
aimed to prevent, has been allowed to con
tinue, and it Is hoped that the steps now
about to be Initiated will have the effect
of changing a state of things which Is not
creditable to the city.
Chris orlna, sanitary officer, has had
notices made out for service, as a start
in the carniUgn, upon ten owners or rent
ers of property to relieve the situation the
sanitary officer has found to exist. The
complaint Is that there la overcrowding,
that the general state of the dwellings la
unsanitary, that the houses are not suffi
ciently heated and that they are In a damp
and dilapidated condition. The people
against whom the law is being put In force
live In the vicinity of Twenty-sixth and
M and N streets and Thirtieth and R
streets, and the houses are occupied oy
Bulgarian. Austrian. Lithuanian and Greek
laborers, as well as colored people.
"I have found," said Officer Pertna, "as
many as eighteen or twenty-four living In
a five-room house and one can Imagine the
sanitary state of living under such circum
stances. What with from ten to a dozen
people. If not more, sleeping In one room,
the city Is forever In danger of an out
break of disease. In many of the places
there are no beds; the men He on mattresses
on the floor and In some places they have
not even this accommodation they lie on
the bare boards, and probably their clothes
are never off them from one week to the
other." ..
City rrosecutor McNally stated that he
Is determined that the law shall be en
forced, and what should lead to energetlo
action is the fact that smallpox has ap
peared In several parts of the city. "Such
conditions of living," said Mr. McNally,
"are a menace to the public health of the
city and we will try and have them
remedied."
Htrark with av Meat Hook.
Because he asked Pat Meehan, who has
charge of the elevator In the aweet pickle
department at the Armour packing house,
to hurry, Thomas Stonek, another worker
there, was felled with a meat hook and sus
tained a severe scalp wound.
The elevator was ascending as Stonek
came to the door with his truck. He
shouted to Meehan to hurry, and the fiery
tempered Irishman evidently resented the
tone In which the request was made. The
elevator was not long In returning, and
Immediately Stonek proceeded to enter he
was struck with the hook and knocked to
his knees. He made a grab for the weapon
as Meohan attempted to strike him, and,
although his hands were badly lacerated,
he succeeded in getting It away from hta
Infuriated assailant.
By this time the row had attracted the
attention of other workers and the men
were separated, Stonek taken away to have
his wounds dressed and the police in
formed. Captain Dworak soon arrived and
arrested Meehan, who Is charged with as
sault and battery.
Meehan, In Justification of his conduct,
states that Stonek accompanied his re
quest to hurry with insulting language.
He lives at Twenty-fourth and S streets
and Stonek at Twenty-sixth and Q streets.

Omaha May Get the
Next Conservation
Congress Wallace
Head of the Conservation Congress
Says This is Ideal Place for
Convention.
Conservation of soli fertility and not the
protection and development of natural re
sources will be the chief material for de
liberation at the 1911 Conservation con
gress. Henry Wallace says so. He adds
the suggestion that Omaha Is an Ideal
place In which to hold the convention, ex
plaining that this city Is the pivotal point
of the greatest agricultural producing area
In the world.
"Why not hold the next meeting In
Omaha," declared Mr. Wallace.
"The executive committee of the con
gress had a session In Washington re
cently, but the next meeting place was not
designated," said Mr. Wallace. "Person
ally. I prefer the west for the reason that
emphasis will not be on conservation of
resources by the government, but by the
states, especially as to the conservation
of soil fertility. President Taft's attitude
positively settles that argument, and It is
perfecly satisfactory to Glfford Plnchot as
well as the rest of us.
- "There Is no reason why Omaha should
not bid for the coming convention. There
seems to be no doubt but that it will be
held somewhere In the west, and tha only
western city that will be In the field will
most likely be Kansas City. Cities along
the Missouri river are especially desirable,
and Omaha would be the best of all to at
tract the greatest number of persons In
terested In progress and soil fertility.
"We do not expect to have a political
jamboree at the' next convention such as
characterized the St. Paul meeting. There
will be no politics In It at all If I have
my way, and I think I will. What we
want to do la go right to the heart of
things that should Interest the farmer,
for upon his success depends the success
of the nation. His prosperity depends on
fertility of the soil, and on this propo
sition the west has prior claim on the
next convention. Washington, D. C, and
Rhode Island both want the next meet
ing, but I prefer to come west. If a
convention place should be selected out
this way the convention would probably
be held In September, while Washington
would wait until February of 1912.

Bleeding profuxely from a wound at the
base of his skull. J. W. Wheaton, 32 years
old, a railroad switchman of Toledo, la.,
was found at 8:30 o'clock last night lying
In a dying condition on the sidewalk at
Twelfth and Harney streets.
The man was hurried to St. Joseph's hos
pital In the police ambulance, attended by
Dr. O. C. Bishop, where It wa found he
was suffering from concussion of the
brain. Little hope is given for his recovery.
Whether Wheaton had been slugged and
robbed and left lying on the walk or
whether he stumbled and fell, hitting his
head upon the curbing. Is a mystery.
Weight Is added to the latter theory by
the fact that the man wore a wooden right
leg.
No valuables or money was found on his
person.
Michael Pappas of 609 South Thirteenth
street stumbled over Wheaton's form In
the dark. Pappas said at first he thought
the man Intoxicated and started to walk
on, when he noticed blood flowing acrous
the sidewalk. He notified the police.
Dr. Bishop estimated that the man had
been lying In that condition for more than
halt hour before he was found.

ary. One traveller reported passing fifteen
dead bodies in fifteen miles on the road.
The missionaries tell of the natives eating
rakes made of leaves and stems mixed
with millet chaff which they buy with the
allowances from the government of S
cents apiece. The trees had been stripped
of bark, which had been eaten.
Dr. Cochrane, an American Presbyterian
missionary, said that In the whole afflicted
region there were 2.000.000 starving people.
In one village of 100 families one-third were
dead of hunger and pestilence. Snow was
falling and many were without proper shel
ter or clothing.
The missionaries have attacked the work
of relief with the greatest system and directness.

called up and told her he would have a friend for
dinner. ,
'When I need something for the kitchen in a
hurry, it'eaves me a lot of trouble and worry; then, too,
it helps me out of numerous tiresome tasks every day."
A Bell Telephone in the home saves the time,
nerve force and physical strength of the housewife.
It runs her errands, shops for her, goes to market and
makes her social engagements, and is useful in a
thousand other ways.
