COMMISSIONERS
Nearly 200 Applicants Are in the
Field For appointment To
New Board

Reno. March 22-Who will COM
prise he railroad commission?
That is the question that is being
asked all over the state. Nearly 200
applications have been received, thus
showing that Nevada is not afflicted
with u dearth of men who at least
think they are capable of holding
10 y II one Of the most important po-
sitons in the state. Political influ-
enee is being used, wires are being
pulled. petitions are being circulated
and all the arts of Office seeking are
being brought into play.
The members of the appointing
board have as yet given no indica-
tion as to whom they will appoint
but II is learned on good authority
that it is their desire to distribute
among three counties the three posi-
tions In this connection Elko Es-
merada and Washoe have been con-
sidered Ex-senator Russell OF Elko
has been mentioned. as has H. Thur
tell. of Washoe. The latter's friends
have been making Jealous fight for
him and If he does not win 1t will not
be because great effort has not
been made to land him in the place.

to the powers is to the effect that

set back few nights ago when one
of his supporters became over ardent
in his work. 1t may be that this ru-
NOR is without foundation.
One of the latest names mentioned
in connection with the commission is
that OF r. s.. Kirman, president of
the Farmers and Merchants Nation

made no fight for the. position. but
number of his friends have felt that
he vas one of the logical men for the

DAYS ago he decried any efforts that
might he made to secure him the. po-
stion, as he is not seeking it and
would not like to have his friends ex-
ercise the wire pulling arts that have
been noticeable in number of other
cases
The appointments will probably be
made within 10 days. In CONVERSE
ton a few days ago Gov Sparks sta
ted that he desired to get the prob
lem off his hands as soon as possible
as he desired to take a vacation, and
his colleagues on the appointing

selection that will terminate the pc
titioning and pleading to which they
have been subjected.

ONES AT COBRE
Crowd Headed For Ely Misses the
Nevada Northern Train
Yesterday

The hotel accommodations at Co
bre were taxed last night as there
were 90 passengers on Southern Pa
eific train No. 8. who were stranded
at the point of junction with the Ne
vada Northern for the night.
No. 3, due in Cobre from Ogden
at 1919 yesterday morning, was re-
ported seven hours late as the result
of the high water along the line and
the difficulty in getting across the
Ogden-Lucin cut off where extreme
care was necessary by reason of the
terrific pounding he cut off had re-
ceived during the recent storms.
Owing to the unusual delay to No
3, the Nevada Northern train for Ely
which leaves Cobre early in the after
noon was not held. and the 92 pas
sengers on No. 8 will have the pleas
ire of seeing this town delayed for

SAYS THE SOUL Y. !.
HAS NO WEIGHT
Tesla Declares Impressions Are
Incapable Of Quantitative
Determination

New York, March 21.--Regarding
the proposition that the soul can be
weighed. Nikola Tesla says: 1T is al
together too absurd for discussion
that an aggregation of thoughts feel
ings and impressions having no ma
.teriality and vaguely designated as
the mind or soul should be a sub
stance susceptible to quantitative de-
termination. The change which takes
place III the human body during the
transition from life to death is, how
ever, great subject for scientific in
vestigation,
Tesla says very slight general de-
formation of the body when rigor
mortis sets in would cause a change
in atmospheric weight sufficient to
explain the alteration in weight not
ed by the Massachusetts, doctors,
Dr. Isaac X. Funk says that he
does not accept the experiments as
conclusive, although not denying
that it is possible that the soul is
substantial He would be willing to
have the test made with him when he
is dying.
Prof. John D. Quackenbos says:
This experiment has been subject to
so many errors that it is not relia-
bic | do not believe the astral body
has any weight.

Theft OF MULE
CAUSE OF WAR
Struggle Between Honduras and
Nicaragua Grew From a
Trivial Cause

Washington, March % One mule
mule belonging to Senor Salgado
was the chief object of dispute be
tween Nicaragua and Honduras when
they began the quarrel which they fl
nally ended in the war that is threat
ening the peace OF all Central Amer
lea, according TO the official commu-
nications exchanged by The ministers
of foreign affairs for the two repub-
lies, copies of which have been re-
ceived in Washington.
The controversy began when Au-
gusto c. Coellp, the Honduran minis
ter for foreign affairs, wrote a note
to Jose ID. Gomez, the Nicaraguan
minister for foreign affairs, on jan
uary 2S. protesting against the theft
of mule from Ireno Salgado by 80
Nicaraguan cavalrymen who were ac-
ry In reply Senator Gomez said the
Nicaraguans did not quite enter the
Honduran territory although they
passed near to the town of Los Man
os, in that republic. The taking of
the mule was not denied but Senor
Gomez insisted in his letter that Sal
gado was not Honduran citizen,
bu Nicaraguan who had to leave
that country because of the part he
played in a revolution two years be-
fore. Consequently Nicaragua main
tanned that Honduras had no right to
fly to the defense of Salgado's mule.

NO RESCUER IN
JEERING CROWD
Crowd of Men Who Laughed At
Boy In Danger, Turn COWardS
As He browns

Reno. March 25.-Goaded by the
jeers of men many years older than
himself. to attempt to cross the swol-
len waters of the Truckee river at
Reno during the recent flood in tina;
river, Willie Phillips gave up his life
in an effort to rescue Bob Jeffries
who was marooned on Riverside Mill
island.
Jeffries lived in a cabin on the is
land and when the water rose so
alarmingly few days ago fears were
entertained that 'Jeffries would be
swept from the island and drowned.
Willie Phillips and others discussed
the advisability of going to his res
cue but others of more mature judg-
men advised against such an attempt
which would have been almost fool
hardy in view of the dangerous
height to which the water had risen.
Among those who had gathered on
the river bank watching the rising
waters and specializing on the possi-
bility of reaching Jeffries in time to
prevent his being swept away by the
waters were number of men who
ieered and taunted Phillips, declar-
ing that he was afraid to run the
risk Phillips was unable to stand
the taunts of these men and despite
the protests of his friends made the
attempt to reach Jeffries in which he
sacrificed his life.
A line was cast to the island and
Phillips cast off from the shore in a
rowboat The boat was swamped at
the time the full force of the stream
was encountered. Phillips caught on
to the line above him and continued
to make for the island. going hand
over hand on the rope, despite the
warnings of his friends.
His strength was soon. exhausted
and as he sank inFthe, iwater no effort
was made to rescue him by the men
whose ieers had driven him to his
death.

Associated Press Men Manage

G. A. Mitchell, one of the crack
Associated Press operators OF San

verman and Charles who accompa
MED Mr.. Mitchell to that point from

Monday for Ely but were turned back
to the city after crossing the bay by
reason of the flood which had swept
through the lowlands cutting off COM
munication and traffic. They were
forced to remain il San Francisco
until last Friday when they again re-
sumed their journey.
Traffic was entirely suspended on
the Southern Pacific between San
Francisco aud Sacramento by way of
Benicia, by washout and other nu-
merous troubles, and trains were for
warded by way Of Tracy and Stock
ton to the California capital.
All of the lowlands about Sacra-
mento, according to Mr.. Mitchell are
flooded and bad conditions prevail.
Sacramento is not inundated because
the levees have withstood the pound
ing of the waters. 1t was feared for
a time that there would be break
