Popular Support in Fight
BY Associated Press.

CANUTE, Kas, Feb. 1.-THE ad-
visory committee of the Kansas Oil
Producers association has given out
a statement in which the Standard Oil

times and that it now is less than a

Appeal From Anti Cigarette Law.

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Aug. %
There was CONSERVATION in the camp
of the foreigners and Indians with a
circus here yesterday over the order of
the owner that the men and women
should comply with the Indiana ciga-
rette law and cease smoking while in
the state. Many of the men are under
contract to remain with the circus I'M
til the close of the season.
So desperate are some of them for
their cigarettes that they threaten to
jump their contracts and go to other
states where they can be free Of smoke
anything they please.
A meeting was held and speeches
were made protesting against the law.
Finally it was decided to make a di-
rect appeal to Governor Hanly, and
the following message was sent:
Governor J. Frank Hanly, India

anese, Hindoos and Indians with

protection.

At O'Clock yesterday afternoon they
were standing around in groups await
ing the governors answer. Last night
another meeting was held, and as the
owner Of the show insists that the laws
Of Indiana shall not be violated the
foreigners served formal notice on him
through their interpreter, Iron Bird,
that unless they are permitted to
smoke cigarettes, they would quit the
show so long as it remains in Indiana.
Governor Hanly has made no reply
to their request for protection in their
pursuit Of happiness.

NERVE GAINS STRENGTH.
Health Records Show Deaths From
Nervous Troubles Decreased.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-An examina-
ton of the health records Of New York,
prompted by statistics recently COM
piled by the Chicago health depart
ment, shows that there has been a re-
markable decrease in deaths from ner-
vous troubles in this city since 1870.
While other ailments such as heart
disease, Brignt's disease and consump-
ton have been gaining ground, all af-
fections of the nervous system nave
diminished as New York has grown
larger and more turbulent.
AS stated, the investigation was in
spired by, recent report from Chi
cago showing that deaths there from
nervous disorders had fallen off from
37.6 persons per 10000 in 1870 to 1913
persons in 1904.
A table compiled by the registrar
from hte records of Manhattan and
Bronx boroughs shows these surprising
results:
Death rate per 10000 inhabitants
in 1870, 34.72; in 1880, 2306; in 1890,

36S,200 ballots were cast. There

GOLDFIELD, New, Aug. 23.-This
dreary dread, gold-bearing desert of
Nevada has produced many strangely
assorted associations of men, but none
and absolute partnership of George
Wing1eld and George S. Nixon the
people of the land have heard of Nixon,
for he was recently elected to the Unit

is so rapidly making himself famous.

q. They are both millionaires, but
with varying experiences in their sue
cessful pursuit of wealth. Nothing
Identifies their individual character
istics better than the manner in which
they came together. Senator Nixon,
always man of affairs, had a bank at
Winnemucca, New, doing business in
modest way, building his fortune
slowly, but on firm foundations. Into
his office one day, eight or nine years
ago, came youth, something of a
shambler but with a keen eye and an
easily discernible determination to
accomplish a definite purpose.
will you give me $25 on that?" he
said to the banker, throwing on the
desk diamond ring.
Nixon had never had any thought Of
doing a pawnbroking business, but
there was something in the appearance
of his unknown visitor that attracted
him. In the bankers mind was

youth, but he never got beyond the
single question:
How do know that your diamond

POLITICAL REVOLT. IN CUBA.
Trouble Is Predicted, and Return of
Yankee Rule Is Expected.

HAVANA, Aug pa political revo-
luton is impending and may break out
any day.
The Spanish business element in
Cuba, especially the old merchants,
who know the Cuban character, be-
cause of treir long experience, freely
predict trouble. Some are disposed to
rejoice, for they never have had any
faith in the ability of the Cubans to
govern themselves, and they believe
That at the first sign of serious trouble
the United States will return to the
interests will be safely guarded.
Other Spanish interests regret the
appearance of trouble on the political
horizon, because of the great injury
that may follow to business interests.
While the bitter feeling between the
liberal and moderate parties has been
recognized generally as a sort of pow
der magazine around which Cuban
politicians have been playing with
torches, the real seriousness of the sit
uation was not realized until the incen-
diary declarations of Jose Miguel Co
mez, presidential candidate, who was
named in opposition to Estrada Palma.
and openly said that ne did not pro-
pose to obey the mandates of the SUI
preme court. Everyone then realized
that the situation was grave.
An astonishing thing in connection
with the Gomez incident is the fact
that the vice presidential candidate,
Senior Alfredo Zayas, leader of the rad
icals in the senate and one of the best
educated and best-known lawyers in
Cuba, unhesitatingly and unqualifiedly
approves of everything Gomez said.
He practically said that if his party
does not win in this election they will
appeal to something else besides the

Toxic, April Discussing the
presence of vessels of the Russian
Second Pacific squadron at kamranh

China, the 1iji Shimpo declares that
the use of the island Of Madagascar
by the Russian squadron was a direct
and prolonged violation Of the prin.
ciple OF neutrality, but on account Of
the ek 5tance Japan in that instance
simly lodged a protest. The paper,
however, insists that Russia is now
using Kamranh bay as a base for ac-
tion against her opponent and says
she intends to use it as the point for
efiecting junction with the remain
ing division of the squadron.

must regard its neutrality as COM

obliged to respect its neutrality Vio-

are not important, but when close to
the zone OF war it is impossible to
view them with the same leniency."

that France is lending the Russians
efficient assistance, thus actually join

to notify Great Britain and obtain her

France Anxious to Secure Observance
Of NeutralitY


Paris, April l9.-The French gov
efnment has taken every preCaution
to Secure the observance. of neutrality
in French waters in IndO-China To
this end instructions have been sent
to NJ. Beau, governor general Of Indo-
China, again calling his attention to
the regulations concerning the .obsery-
anCe OF neutrality issued at the outset
OF the war. These are identical with
the neutrality rules in force during
the Spanish American war. 1t is be-
lieyed that Admiral de J0nquieres,
commander Of the French naval forces
at Saigon, in proceeding to Kamranh
bay, where part OF the Russian Sec
Ond Pacific squadron has been seen,
is following the governor generals in
structions. The latter were not the
result OF the report that Japan con-
templated making representations on
the subject. as no such action has
thus far been ordered and France has
from the outset acted voluntarily in
seeking to maintain the neutrality of
her waters. This, however, is jncreas-
ingly difficult at remote points not
connected by telegraph and far from
opportunities for official communica-
tions. Nevertheless, the instructions
sent to NJ. Beau contemplate the full
observance OF neutrality.
