APPEAL MADE TO
THE PRESIDENT
Senator NeWIandS of Nevada
Trying to Prevent With
draWaI of Troops.
up TO GOVERNOR SPARKS
LEGISLATURE WILL HAVE TO BE
CALLED TOGETHER.

washington, Dec. Ex-senator New
lands of Nevada is endeavoring to
prevent withdrawal Of the government
troops from Goldfield until some other
means of protection is had. Today he
called upon Secretary Taft at the war
department and strongly urged that
execution of the order issued by the
secretary for the withdrawal of the
troops next Monday be suspended un-
til he has had an opportunity to COM
municate with Governor Sparks and
endeaVor to induce him to call the Ne
vada legislature together. Secretary
Taft has advised with Secretary Root
on this subject and it is proba BILE that
the president will be communicated
with at Pine Knot There is every dis
position to refrain from breaking in
upon his privacy at this time, and the
only excuse for doing so is found in
the fact that unless the original order
is modified the troops must leave Gold
field next Monday morning and before
the president returns to Washington.
Doubt as to Legality.
Administration officials feel that the
present situation in the matter of
Goldfeld's case cannot be continued in
view of the doubt that exists as to the
constitutional and legal right of the
executive to employ any part of the
regular army in Nevada under present
conditions. Governor Sparks attention
has been repeatedly called to the fact
that this constitutional doubt might
be removed by the simple device Of
calling together the state legislature,
when that body could either give its
warrant to the use of the federal
troops or provide by legislation for
raising a state force of some kind.
either militia or police, sufficient to in
sure the maintenance of peace and the
observance of law in Goldfeld. 1t is
believed that Senator Newland's APP
peal today is an indication of the will
ingness of the governor to recall his
refusal TO convene the legislature in
session, and if this belief is well found
ed. the government troops would prob
ably be retained at Goidheld until some
other arrangements can be made.
Forwarded to Roosevelt.
Following the receipt of Senator
Newland's protest. Secretary of War
Taft tonight communicated with Pres
ident Roosevelt at Pine Knot in regard
to the withdrawal of the troops at
GOldheld. The secretary declined to
state what course he had recommend
ed in the matter. nor would he say
whether he had heard from the presi-
dent in turn. Secretary Loeb said the
White House was entirely without ad-
vices from Pine Knot, as the GOldfield
question was being handled by the war

BAD ACCIDENT
CAUSED BY FOG
Three Persons Killed and II
Injured on Elevated Tracks
of Pennsylvania Road.

Camden, N. j., Dec. 27.-Three per-
sons were killed and seventeen injured
in a collision on the elevated tracks of
the Pennsylvania road just outside
the station here today, when Pember-
ton accommodation train ran into the
rear of an Atlantic City express.
A heavy fog was the principal con-
tributOry cause of the accident.

jured are:
j. X MendenhaIl of Transport, n. J..
William Mason, Mount Holly.
A. H. Muleford of Merchantville.
Bernard Stafford of Merchantville,
Express Had Precedence.
All those killed or injured were pas
sengers in the first car of the Pember-
ton accommodation. Both trains were
due in the Camden station at S:31, the
AlldilliC lily SAplCSo having ElCSS-
dence.
The fog was so thick that the en-
gineers of the two trains were running
cautiously and just outside the station
the Atlantic City train was signaled to
stop. The engineer of the PembeTtOn
train failed to see the Atlantic City
train in time to avoid a collision, but
he instantly damned his brakes down
hard when he saw the train through
the fog. The sudden jolt forced the
tender of the PembertOn train into the
first coach, wreCking it, and either kill
ing or injuring everybody in the coach
The train, however, did not come to a
full stop, but slipped into the rear of
the Atlantic City express, causing the
tender to still further telescope the
first car. The force of the collision was
slight, and no one was injured on the
forward train.
Wreekage Caught Fire.
Goals from tho locomotive of the
Pemberton train set the wreckage afire
and it was at first feared that many of
the injured who were pinned under the
heavy twisted iron and wood would be
burned to death. but the prompt action
of the Camden fire department in ex-
tinguishing the flames and the efficient
rescue work of the uninjured passen-
gers subsequently saved many lives.
Some of the injured may die.

Rupp is young man who has become

Scott is well known over the inland
empire as a gambler. He and the

as the rest of the community when the
indictments were returned against
them Among the others indicted was
Ras KEGS, a brother of Frank KEGS,
who was recently dismissed as warden
of the state penitentiary at Walla Wal

prominent political reputation, the
gamblers thought they could carry on

OFFICER WORKS FOR CITY
Lieutenant Paul WeyPauch Held
Oraughtsman's Position Here.

From the service of Uncle Sam to
the service of Walla Walla: from the
position of lieutenant in the regular
| army of the United States to the
position of draughtsman in the Office
of the city engineer is the experience
of Paul Weyrauch, formerly lieuten-
ant in the Fourteenth cavalry at Fort
Walla Walla.
Lieutenant Weyrauch is not regular
| ly in the employ of the city, but he
undoubtedly would have been had the
plans for paving which We're outlined
not been swept away because of the
.. financial condition of the city.
Since his resigna ton from the army
Weyrauch worked for nearly week
as draughtsman under City Engineer
Wilson. He was expert and skillful
and would probably have been employed
for the summer had the paving con-
tracts not been Cancelled.
The lieutenant resigned from the
army on account of deafness, which al
though slight was greater than allowed
by the strict rules of the service. He
was retired on half pay and will re-
ceive $112.5O a month from the govern
ment strong box for the remainder of
his life.

he has to some account. He was re-
