KILLED HIS MAN

On Friday Constable Mehan at Mi
ma in arresting Claude Debosset con-
sidered it necessary to put five bullets
into his body before taking him to jail.
The wounded man died at l O'Clock
this morning.
The constable had a warrant for the
arrest of DeRossett, who also travelled
under the alias of Paul Despae, and he
went ito serve it. He found his man
in H. S. McLeod's saloon. The war
rant charged De Rosset with a murder
committed in Tuscon, Arizona and in
addition this the constable had been
informed that De Rossett had the re-
putaitno of having killed two Others
and of being a bad man.
The circumstances directly before
the shooting are not understood but
Mehan pulled his revolvers and fired
eight shots point blank at De Rossetr
who fell, every one of the hots having
taken effect in his left breast.
AS he dropped, De Rossett pulled
his own pistol and fired five shots AT
the constable, but all missed.
The constable is now being held
for the action of the coroner's iury
Sympathy in the community is divided

KY, and has been here for some time
Mehan is from Hawthorne and came
there with the Southern Pacific.

Following the recent visit Of rep
lesentative business men Of this city
to Goldfield for the purpose of cement
ing the relations between San Fran
cisco and Nevada a party of we'll
known capitalists have incorporated
under the name of the Nevada Asso-
citation of San Francisco. The peti-
ton states that the association has
been organized to encourage closer
personal relations between San Fran
cisco and Nevada; to assist in the de-
velopment of Nevada; to get better
railroad facilities between San Fran
cisco and Nevada; to maintain head
quarters in San Francisco for all visi-
tors from Nevada; to catcher informa-
ton for the people of San Francisco
about the mining sections of Nevada
and to establish a bureau of informa
tion here for Nevada people.
The board of directors of the new
Association is composed as follows:
II. T. Scott, Andrew Carrigan, Charles
c. Moore, NJ J. Brandestine, William
Metson, Louis Rosenfeld, Marsha

RIVERS OF CHAMPAGNE

New Years in New York was a Ro-
man festival such as the ancient city
by the Taber never saw in all it's cen
turtles of magnificence. This year the
Great White Way made preparations
Tor celebration that was wonder
even to itself For two weeks every
table in every popular restaurant in
the lobster belt had been reserved for
the inevitable supper" at prices rang
ing from 81 to S. seat, and that
takes no account of the many dollars
spent in other ways after the game
was on. 1t is estimated that $4,000
people partOOk OF the feast in that gild-
ed mile of broadway, beside which all
the rest of the world seemed tame and
uninteresting on New Years Eve. En-
ough food was eaten or wasted to feed
an army for a week, and the cham
pagne consumed would float a battle
ship. The section in which the cele-
bratlon was most strenuous extends
from Twenty-third street to Forty
eighth street and reaches it's climax
at Longacre Square, into which, after
the theatres are out, Broadway, Sev-
enth Avenue, Forty second street and
Forty-fourth street pour an army OF
revelerS and sight seers. Around the
square are ranged the famous restau-
rants and hotels where the fun was
most uproariOus. By virtue of its
size, The Hotel Astor accommodated
the largest number-between 1,500 and
1000. So great was the demand for
places that the capacity of the regular
dining rooms and cafes were exceeded
and all sorts of makeshift preparations
were made to accommodate the over
flow in the ball rooms an dparlors.
When the bell of old Trinity begins
the stroke Of midnight all electric
lights below forty-seventh street are
turned out until the bell ceases.
When the lights make their appear
ance again pandemonium reigns in the
restaurants and in most Of them
guests are privileged to kiss any wo-
man in the place. Women who OBJ
ject to it are asked why they come
down town at that hour. For an hour
bedlam is let loose and the police have
to have something extraordinary to
attend to before they Interfere.

WANTS j. S. TO FOUND A
NEGRO REPUBLIC

WASHINGTON-Shortly after the
reassembling of Congress Representa-
tive Gillespie, of Texas, will introduce
and push for hearing bill for the ac-
establishment of negro republic to
be maintained under the fostering care
of the United States. The Texas Con.
gressman has looked carefully into all
the legal phases of the question and
he believes that African territory may
be safely acquired for the purposes
named, and he will rely upon the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the case of the Louis
ina purchase, and affirmed in later ac-
QUESTIONS from Spain.
81 have reached the conclusion that
expatriation is the best solution of the
negro problem said Mr. Gillespie,
after many years of study on the
subject.
'I have not the least do77N+ rat this
Africa, which could be usod % colon.
izing the negroes under the protecting
arm of the United States. The idea
| is not a new one nor has il been
brought about in consequence of the
Brownsville riot. Long before that
happened I deemed it the best solu
ton for very vexing problem.
''Since the Japanese issue on the
Pacific coast has become so acute
am more convinced than ever that i
is the proper time for this government
to declare its policy to continue the
predominance of the white race ii
this country, and to discourage in ev
cry possible way the members of any
other race, not already such, from be
coming citizens of this country. With
should endeavor to acquire suitable
territory On the continent of Africs
and pay the expenses of any of our ne
groes who might wish TO become resi-
dents OF the newly acquired territory
which should be under the protection
of the United States government.
also believe the government shoult
pay the expenses of any member o
the yellow race who might wish t.
, quit the United States and become
citizen of any other state that Nigh
want him. There is no race hatred il
this movement, but only spirit to d.
what is best for all races.
"The pressure for such law i
very great" continued Mr.. Gillespie

=, never more opportune for Congress t

NEW TRIAL DENIED
Why the Decision is Not Published in
Full,

Yesterday the Supreme Court hand
ed down a decision IN the case of VIII
liam j. Brandon as plaintiff and appel
liant VS.. N. H. West, Administrator.
Judge Talbot denied a motion for a
new trial in which Norcross concurred
and Fitzgerald filed a dissenting opin-
ion.
The full text of this opinion was
handed to the Appeal for publication
today but it declines to publish it on
the ground that the cont act under
which the Appeal has been publishing
them has expired.
OF late years the number of Su-
preme Court decisions have increased
to such an extent with the increase OF
population that the cost of publishing
them is more than the state allows
for the work.
The paper publishing the decisions
is obliged, under the law, to furnish
the state, gratis, a copy for each at
torney in the state.
When the law was passed over eight
years ago there were about fifty prac
ticing attorneys in the state, nov
there are over four hundred.
No paper can pay the union scale Z
wages and fail to lose money on sucl
a contract as this and for this reason
the Appeal declines to renew it
those rates.
