WILL NOT rr'N(E RULING ON THE GOLF JURISDICTION
Metropolitan Association Re- fuses to Allow New Haven
 Club in.

= After the annual meeting of fl1a Metropolitan Golf association bel5 at Dein1onico's Tuesday night, there is no loEger any doubt that the organiza- ton IS strongly, opposed to increasing lEs territorial jurisdiction, for the new consultation which was approved hv t,a delegates prevents extension of limits
 Ths question came un when inc Nev Haven Country club applied for ad,nis- sion a year ago, and the nronosed Slnenoment to the constitution was to change the radius limit from 1ftv to seventy-fiye miles. John Reid N of St, Andrews spoke against extendinx- the territory He said that inc orig- inal idea was to keep, the territorv limited, and to extend it much firth a, would savor too much of a business proposition. It was also pointed o,t tnat so Tar the New Haven golfers were concerned, they had the Connec- tlcut Golf league, upon whose domains the Metropolitan Golf association 6id not care to encroach any further wben put to vote it was the unan,,oo,,. aeclsion not to increase the territor,a1 limits; and thus ended the dream or some of the New Haven Country clnh golfers of not only getting into the association, but also of having the am- ateur championship held there at no very distant date
 The only change at all radical in the revised constitution is that which e,vaa the executive committee the rtrht to reject in their discretion any entry for the association championship. This will probably have the effect of Keeping some of the contestants who have been showing a tendency of late years to "cut loose' at the MI c. A. champion- ship within bounds.

A THIRTY-MILE TRAIN.

In the yards at Sparks there are
six hundred loaded west-bound cars
DELAYED by the washouts. In Ogden
there are an equal number. Between
Ogden and Carlin there are approx
mately sixteen hundred and between
Carlin and Sparks two thousand, or
a general total of forty-eight hundred
delayed loads. The forty-eight hun
dred cars delayed between Ogden and
Sparks inclusive will average thirty
five feet long. If coupled together
the ywould constitute a train thirty
miles in length, carrying approxima-
tely 40,0O0,00O pounds of freight and
would require an hour running at
full speed, to pass a given point.
Besides this tremendous amount,
freight trains have been moving west
continuously to Sacramento and way
points, so this thirty mile train of de-
layed cars increases greatly in length
as it proceeds westward. The road
as far west as Sacramento is again In
very good condition, however, and
the west bound traffic will begin to
move rapidly.-Journal.

There is room in this city for all
kinds of laboring men, union labor

is there any work for agitators and

associating with them under the

Rumored Dissertation of the Flag
A private dispatch was received
here today from a place along the
line of the road that the American
flag had been pulled down this morn
ing in Goldfield and trampled in the
dust. There is reported to be great
excitement over it. This report
however, cannot be verified and a.
the present writing nothing definite
can be secured from that place.

the mines for the purpose OF black
mail mostly and also from a general
love of a ruction are now showing
their true hand. On Sunday they
wanted to pull down the America i

of the speakers would have carried
out their threat.
When this news reached Carson
City, today steps were Immediately
taken to have the Carson City board
of trade take action.

since a board of trade was formed

FOUR INDICTMENTS
The grand jury at Hawthorne OH
Friday returned four indictments in
the case of the murder of John Silva
the restaurant keeper who was shot
to death in front of his place several
weeks ago supposedly for giving food
and serving persons who will affiilliat-
ed with the A. F. ands.L. and oppos-
ed to the |. w. w. Guards of the
l.. w. w. constantly paced back and
forth in front of the place of business
of Silva and attempted to keep people
from patronizing him. Frequently it
IS claimed they attempted to prevent
them SO doing by force
Preston and Smith, both leaders
and agitators of the l. w. w, were
arrested on the following day for the
crime and taken to Hawthorne for
safekeeping. The grand jury COM
pleted the investigation on the case
on Friday and indicted both men for
murder in the first degree and it IS
said to have also indicted Vincent St
John, another agitator and who served
prison term in Colorado as a ac-
complice to murder, and Roudebush
president of the |. w. w. at Goldheld
as accomplices to murder Several
other indictments in the case are also
SAID to have been returned.
The miners at Goldfeld meet to-
night in regular session and it is ex-
pected that some action will be taken
by the men in the present labor situa
ton. During the past several days
the miners have held number of
meetings but nothing was accom-
plished al any one of them. Tonight
1T is expected the issue will be drawn
and either the agitators or the con-
servative element will win out.
The teamsters of Goldheld have de
serted he l. WV. and joined the A.
