HIS VAULT OF TIN
Rothschild's Federal Bank
Safe a Hollow Mockery.
FROyTED BY MASSIVE STEEL BARS
Peceiver strove For IA Week 10 OBJ
tain Entrance and Finally Went
TO the Rear and showed II In
with His Shoulder.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The most in
tcrestiug developments fh-thc inyestiga-
ton of the affairs of David Rothschild
and Of the wrecked Federal Bank and
Globe Security company have been
that Rothschild's massive and impos-
ing safety vault in the Globe company
Offices was made of painted tin
The tin vault discovery was a great
surprise. For nearly week Receiver
McKcen and his counsel, j. II. Brew
ster, strove to get into the safety
vault of the company, whose offices
are on the seventh floor of the Tract
Society building.
The vault is in the cashiers de-
partmcnt and is most impressive look
ing from the front When William
Murhead and other officers of the
Globe failed to appear and reveal the
combination Mr.. McKecn ana Mr.
Brewster did not know what to do.
| They didn't want to use force to get
into the vault, as they thought dyua-
mite would have to be employed.
The front of the vault is of heavy
glazed brick, with great stone pillars
on each side and an immense steel
door in the middle, and 1t looked as
solid as a rock This steel door is
fitted with scores Of bolts all brightly
polished. In front of the door is a
great steel barred gate.
Viewed over the marble counters Of
the cashiers department, the vault
looks strong enough to Withstand pro-
jectileS from twelve inch gun.
Since Mr.. Brewster has been in
charge Of the Globe offices he has
found so many curious things connect
ed with the concern that he decided
| to attack the redoubtable vault from
the rear.
To get at the rear wall, supposedly
Of stone and steel, It was necessary to
pass through a labyrinth of passages.
| partitions and doors Mr. Brewster
| threaded this maze and then came up
against a massive looking wall appar-
emily of steel and brick forming the
rear Enclosure of the vault.
Wearied. he leaned against it, when
to his establishment it yielded. He
raped on 1t with his knuckles. 1t was
tin. The appearance Of steel and brick
was paint.
Mr.. Brewster put his shoulder
against the wall and a big section Of
it caved in, throwing him into the
vault Then he found that the strong
| box, except the front. was really built
Of the thinnest kind of corrugated iron.
Its power of resistance is about equal
to cardboard.
The front of the vault, with its mag
nifcent appearance of impressive solid
ity, was merely built by Rothschild to
fool the people doing business with the
concern and make them think the com
pany's affairs were of an important
financial character which required
great safes to hold millions in securi-
| ties and cash.

PLATFORM.

The Republican party of Nevada in State Con-
vention assembled, reafhTms its adherence to the
principles of Republicanism as expressed III the
national platform and wrought into the govern
ment of the nation from Abraham Lincoln to
Theodore Roosevelt. The history of republican
ism is the partys mghtiest platform. Endorsing
the nominees of the national convention, we af-
firm that no man in public or private life III this
country is more fitted in honesty, daring, uncom-
promising independence steadfast in what he
believes to be right and sound judgment to guide
the American people in the fulhllment OF their
destiny the next four years than Theodore Roose-
welt the statesman in peace, the hero in war, the
westerner always, and the Republican nominee
for President of the United States.
We respectfully suggest to the voters of Neva-
da that Alton Brooks Parker is too closely allied
with the selfish corporate and monied institutions
Of Wall street and the lawless and predatory mo-
nopolstic trusts of the country to qualify him for
the discharge of the duties of the office for which
the Democratic party of the United States has
selected him, and that no language which we can
frame more aptly illustrates his disqualihcatlons
than that freely and publicly employed by w. J.
Bryan, w. r. Hearst and other leading men con
spicuously prominent in the environment OF the
Democratic presidential nominee were subj ect to
free and untrammeled discussion.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

We congratulate the people of the State of Ne
vada upon the passage of the national irrigation
law which will ultimately reclaim the arid lands
of the West and which will within few years
transform the desert wastes of Nevada into fruit
full homesteads We assert that the attempt to
steal the credit of this great act for one is
travesty fact and justice. To thousands of
western citizens who have agitated this subj ject,
to the western Senators and Congressman who
for twenty-five years have persistently urged and
fought for irrigation legislation, and to the eng-
neers who have measured the western streams
which thread the mountains and deserts to learn
the possibilities of storage and reclamation we
give due and generous credit and the tullness OF
our gratitude But above all we declare that the
ringing and nsistent recommendation of Theo-
dore Roosevelt that Congress consider this sub
ect was responsible for the crystalization of all
theories and plans into the bill known as the
National Irrigation Law, which was framed and
agreed to by all western Senators and Congress
men and introduced simultaneously in the Senate
and House and which would have failed in the
House had not Theodore Roosevelt finally
brought his great influence to bear to secure its

UNITED STATES sENAToReHIP.

We congratulate the people OF Nevada upon The
awakening of her prosperity in field and mine,
and that the hour is struck which closes quar-
ter of a century of State depression. That the
dawn has begun o. new era wherein this COM
monwealth is destined to take high rank in agri-
culture the industries and mining. New leaders
are called for to represent in Congress this new
spirit of state development. For the Senate of
the United States the Republican party presents
the name of Hon. George ). Nixon, as an able,
miliar with and interested in the varied indus
tries of our State, and who is the first candidate
for that supreme Office presented by Nevada
convention in the past twenty years who IS bona
fde resident and citizen of Nevada, and pledges
the efforts of the Republican party to all hon
orable means. and the votes of its members in
the State Legislature. to secure his election.

INVITATION TO SILVER REPUBLICANS

Recognizing the fact that many of the most pat
rotc and progressive citizens of the State of
Nevada have for several years past cast their bal.
lots against the Republican ticket because of their
disbelief in the financial views of the national
Republican party, although being in accord with
it upon all other principles of party policy, we
now in view of the fact that there is no issue be-
tween the national parties upon the subject of
finance, cordially invite all such fellow citizens to
renew their political fellowship with us and to
share with us in the glories of certain victory
at the coming general election

ISTHMIAN CANAL.

We rejoice in the requirement by the United
States of sufficient isthnian territory upon which
to excavate construct and operate a commercial
tirey regulated and controlled by the govern
ment of the United States, and which will greatly
promote the industrial development of all sec
tons of the Pacific Coast, and we especially re-
gret that Senator Francis G. Newlands so tar for
got the substantial interests of the State of Neva
da as to interpose his vote in the Senate of the
United States against the ratification OF the treaty
between the United States and the Republic Of
Panama in vain attempt to interdict the build
ing of such canal.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

We submit the labor record of the Republican
party against the professions OF Democracy. Re
publicanism has built up tariff wall about this
country which gives the American markets to the
products of American labor. 1t has i'll every
State where in power enacted legislation tavoring
shorter hours and sanitary conditions for labor,
prohibited child labor, and passed stringent laws
for the safeguarding of the life and limb of en-
ployes. II has, under Theodore Roosevelt, as in
the coal strike, substituted arbitration for the
bullet and bayonet of the last Democratic admin
istraton in its settlemInt OF the Pullman strike.
Promising little, performing much, II has been
the true and tried friend of both capital and la
Dor whom it holds as equal and concordant parts
of the nations industrial economy. The Repub-
hcan party will not support capital in oppression
nor labor in violence. 1t recognizes organized
labor as the unity of industrial action, striving to
secure more equitable distribution of the fruits

STATE INSTITUTIONS.

We favor the economic conduct of the State
government, the generous treatment of the or
phan wards of the State and the humane care OF
the insane. We are justly proud of our public
school system and the State University and will
favor all reasonable propositions calculated to inn
prove their efficiency and usefulness.

of industry. 1t is the trusted ally of both capital
and labor for capital in the things which are
essential to the successful government of enter
prses and with labor in its crusade for reasonable
hours at the highest wages consistent with the
successful conduct of business. In this State it
favors eight hours labor upon all public works
and as the legal work day in mines, quartz mills
and smelters and will uphold legislation giving it
