ROOSEVELT
REBUKES GOVERNOR

Sends Dispatch Insinuating
That Nevada Executive
MiSledd Him.
FUNSTON SAYS THE
SITUATION is DELICATE

Goldfeld, New, Dec 21.--On ad-
vice OF the Roosevelt commission,
which has been investigating the
conditions here, the president wired
here yesterday instructing Gen. Funs-
ton TO arrange TO remove troops sta
toned here on December 30th. The
announcement was received by the
rDtne operators : with great surprise
and efforts are being made to have
the order withdrawn. In a telegram
sent TO Gov. Sparks, of Nevada, In
forming the governor of his action,
the president says:
GOV. Sparks Rebukcd.
81 have received no answer from
you to my telegram of December II.
in which said that unless there
was forthwith further cause shown
to Justify keeping the troops at Gold
field ! should direct their return to
their fromer stations. l am inform
ed by the three representatives Of
the department of commerce and la
Dor, who are In Goldfield by my or
der, that you have stated to them
in writing that you will not convene
the legislature to consider the call
for troops nor take the necessary
steps to form a safe military force.
Their report further satisfies me that
there Is no disturbance threatened
which the government of Nevada
ought not be able to control, IL II
starts TO work with a serious purpose
10 do so, hut that no effort is being
made by the government of Nevada
to take the necessary steps in the
matter. / stand ready 10 see that the
national government does its full
constitutional duty in preserving or
der, but this readiness on the part
of the national government does not
excuse the state government for
failure to perform its full duty In
the first place. federal aid should
not be sought for the state as a
method of relieving itself from this
duty and the state should not be
permitted to substitute the govern
ment of the United States for the
government OF the state in the ordi-
nary duties of maintaining order
within the state. For the reasons
given in this and my former tele-
gram I have accordingly directed the
troops 10 return to their former sta
ton on Monday. December 30 next

There IS no denying the fact that

The telegram sent to Gov. Sparks
on December II, to which Presi-
dent Roosevelt refers in his recent
telegram Is as follows:
II sent troops at your request, be-
cause from the tenor OF your tele-
gram and from the representations
made me by the two senators from
Nevada and the members OF the low
er house OF congress from Nevada, II
appeared that an insurrection was
imminent, against which the state
authorities would be powerless.
The troops have now been in
Goldheld ten days and no insurrec-
ton has occurred. and seemingly no
circumstances exist to Justify your
calling on me for action by the
troops under the provisions OF the
constitution, The troops were sent
to Goldfield TO be ready to meet a
grave emergency which seemed like
vide substitute for the exercise by
the state of its police functions. /
do not feel at liberty to leave them
