CITIZENS LEAGUE REPLIES.
Says Ii Has Investigated HOltzman
and Other Candidates Well.

The executive committee of the Citizens
League yesterday replied 10 the communica-
ton from Ii. W. Bennett. c. l.. Coffin and
O. +. Jameson. asking that the league in
vestigate the official record of the Demo-
cratic candidate John W. Hoffman, and
publish its findings for the information of
the voters of the city. The committee
says that the league mas already made an
investigation of Holtzman's record and
stands ready to give the public infOrma ton
regarding not only his record, but the
record OF other candidates.
The inference placed on this reply by
the local Democratic organ is that the
Citizens League will issue a statement in
dOrsinS HoltEman and condemning Mayor
BOokwater and the other Republican candi-
dates.
Notwithstanding this. however, the record

BALLOT box STUFFED.
Explanation at Large Hitx Vote
shown ON Alleged Polls.

The managers OF the campaign of George
e. Hitz. the Prohibition candidate for
mayor. have been making a strong play
during the past week OF two the results
of polls alleged TO have been taken In va
iious Office buildings and manufa cturing
establishments. Invariably these polls
have shown larger vote for Hitz than for
either or the other mayoralty candidates
The explanation now offered for this re-
markable showing IL that the ballot boxes
have been stuffed for Titz. either by his
friends who were adopting that means to
make a showing of strength for him In the
hope that IL would rally support to him. or
by persons who were merely having sport
with the Prohibition candidate and his
managers.

lieved Charley Polster will, after Oct. Is,
grace either the position of superintendent CT

Let me say to you tonight that Mr..
Polster has never, as far as know, sought
political pTeferment and is not now asking
ANYTHING at my hands, aud il L am elected
he will not be appointed TO any place under
me.
1.-The mayor also said of Mr.. Polster that
he was the keeper of dive and had kept
his police busy for the last twenty-three
months. 1t is not my purpose TO defend
Mr. Polster, but If the mayors statements
are true then he is equally guilty with Mr..
Polster for allowing such dive to remain in
existence, as Ii was within his power to
revoke Polster's license and close up the
dive of which he now so bitterly COM
plains.
And now that we have considered the
shortcomings of which Mayor Bookwalter's 8
administration has been criticised, let me
say on my part that can pledge myself
without reservation in L elected
mayor, to the splendid platform adopted
by the Democratic city convention and my
speech of acceptance and to avoid all of the
errors and wrongs that have made Mayor
BOokwalter's record conspicuous.
II may and probably shall make some
mistakes. but they will not be of the char

SENATOR NEWLANDS.
Urges State Legislation In Aid of
Irrigation Projects.

Mr. Newlands remarked that one OF
the difficulties In framing the national
Irrigation act was the unwlllngness OF
certain OF the arid states which had al
ready placed their systems Of irrigation
under the direction OF state boards of
control and state engineers to yield on
any legislation which gave the federal
authorities any right TO interfere with
state control. He then described the
working Of the Nevada laws which a.
cured the emplest cooperation OF the
irrigation SYSTEM of the state and
which placed the streams IN entire con-
troll of the government while the work
of construction was going on. The
state administration moves along the
same grooves and In harmony with the
national and 80 when the government
turns control over to the state, as pro-
vided In the irrigation act. the state

possessed OF all the data, Information
and plans necessary to go on with the
work OF administration, and even OF
construction n any Is necessary. Mr..
Newlands urged that similar legislation
on the part OF other states would bring
about the spirit OF cooperation 80 nec-
essary to successfully inaugurnte great
projects within their boundaries.

Grand Deposit Copper company TO COM
pell defendants Edwards and Gosen 10
make'an accounting OF certain money
and stock alleged to have been received

tiff was prevented from participating In

Gated In White Pine county, New.
The complaint alleges that plaintiff
and defendant Edwards entered into
partnership for specializing in mining
properties and that they secured an OPP
ton on the above properties,
but that they needed additional
money to carry on the transac-
ton, so on Nov 49, 1902, they took
defendantGosen into thepartnerghlp for
a consideration Of 81 900. In March,
1903 II Is alleged that defendants Ed
wards and Goshen conspired together
for the purpose OF cheating and de-
frauding plaintiff out Of his share OF
the profits Of the sale of the above
named properties and that they frau
dulently allowed the option TO expire
by limitation, Later they secured an
option on the same property and on the
same terms as the original one, but
II was made out to Goshen and not TO
the partnership. II Ii charged that Ed.
wards had an interest In the new OPP
ton, but that plaintiff was not consld.

property was sold to McCaffery, II Is al.
legged, for $50 900 and 900 shares OF

purpose Of operating the claims.
1t Is alleged that $4,000 OF the pur.
chase price and 10000 shares Of the
stock have been paid over TO defend
ants Goshen and Edwards, but they
have refused to give plaintiff any part
OF the same, except the sum Of $500 and
