GIVEN FIVE DAYS MORE
Governor Must Call Legislature or
Troops Leave GOldfield.
PRESIDENT ANSWERS APPEAL
Nevada's Executive Expresses Doubt
That Lawmakers Will Not Sanction
Request for Troops Even Though
Called in Extra Session.

Washington, Dec 30-President
Roosevelt has indicated by telegram to
Governor Sparks of Nevada that the
federal troops now at Goldfield will be
ordered to remain there for further
period Of three weeks provided the
governor within five days issues a call
for special session of the state leg,
islature. The telegram of the presi-
governor in which he sets forth the
need Of armed intervention and eX-
presses the doubt that to call the leg
islature would result in the necessary
request from that body for federal
aid. The presidents telegram is as
follows:
Your telegram of Dec. rs is re,
ceived. It, in effect, declares that
you have failed to call the legislature
together because, in your Judgment,
the legislature would not call upon
the government Of the United States
for the use of troops, although, in
your opinion. it ought to do SO. The
Constitution OF the United States i'm
poses not Tpon you but upon the leg
islature, if it can be convened, the
duty of calling upon the government
Of the United States to protect the
state of Nevada against domestic vio-
lence. You now request me to use the
armed forces of the United States in
Violation OF the Constitution,
because, in your judgment, the legis,
lature would fail to perform it's duty
under the Constitution. The state
government certainly does not appear
to have made any serious effort to do
it's duty by the effective enforcement
of it's police functions. l repeat again
what | have already said to you sew
eral times, that under the circum.
stances now existing in the state Of
Nevada, as made known, to me, an
application from the legislature of the
state is an essential condition to the
indefinite continuance of the troops at
Goldfeld. Circumstances may change
and il they do l will take whatever
action the needs of the situation re-
quire so far as my constitutional pow
ers permit. But the first need is that
the state authorities should do their
duty and the first step toward this is
the assembling of the legislature 1t
is apparent from your telegram that
the legislature of Nevada can readily
be convened. You have fixed the
period of three weeks as the time
necessary to convene and organize a
special session. If within five days
from the receipt Of this telegram you
shall have issued the necessary notice
to convene the legislature of Nevada
l shall continue the station Of the
troops at Goldfeld during such period
of three weeks. If within the term of
five days such notice has not been
issued the troops will be Immediately
returned to their former stations"

WORST IN MANY YEARS.
Pittsburg Experiencing Severe Ep-
idenliC Of Illness.
AFFECTS ABOUT EVERY HOME
Pneumonia, Typhoid Fever and Grip,
Especially the Latter, Are General
Throughout the City, Seriously AZ
fecting Many Industries.

Pittsburg, Dec. 30.-What is said to
be the worst epidemic of sickness
since 1889 is being experienced in
Pittsburg and physicians estimate
that thousands Of persons are pros
trated by pneumonia, typhoid fever
and, especially, the grip. Through
out the city probably every home is
affected in some manner and a scare
ity Of employees in the large Office
buildings is seriously felt. The Pitts
burg Railway company is having diff
Guilty in manning it's cars on account
of conductors and motormen being
laid up with the grip.
City Physician B. A. Booth says the
present epidemic of grip exceeds in
scope and severity all but that Of
1889, the worst in history, and may
yet break that record. He considers
it contagious and believes the germs
of disease may have originated fa1
from here In 1889 the malady's start
was traced back through Europe to
Asia and finally located in Hongkong,
China.
DR.. Booth says people affected do
not give up quickly enough and go to
bed His attention was called to the
fact that thousands have given up and
gone to bed, but he said others who
are struggling along with groans and
complaints should do likewise
Pneumonia is likely to follow the
trail of the grip if prompt and proper
attention is not given it. Chronic af-
fectio2s Of the eyes, ears and throat
are also among the possible after de-
velopments.

Washington, Dec. 3O.-General Eli.
OF, commandant Of marines, has re.
ported to Secretary Metcalf that for
the first time in many months the
marine corps was now up to it's full
complement of $500 enlisted men
General Elliot reports that not only

and has withdrawn from the news.
papers advertisements calling for re.
cruits, but he is now in a position to
pick his men when there is need for
further recruitment. The reason as
signed for this state of affairs is the
depressed condition of industries,
resulting in forcing men to obtaining
employment outside of the factories,
mills and mines and to such of these
as are not able to perform sailors
duties, yet would make good soldiers

rine corps offered tempting refuge.

FOR STRATEGIC REASONS.
Canal Locks and Dams Will Not Be
Built at La Boca.

Washington, Dec 30.-For strategic
reasons and to prevent their bonn
bardment and destruction by a hos
tile fleet the isthmian canal commits
sion has determined to change the
location of the dams and locks which
it was originally intended to construct
at La Boca and instead they will be
built at Miradores, four miles inland
and within the zone of safety Presi-
dent Roosevelt has approved the plans.
1t is said that aside from strategic
reasons advanced for the change in
plans is also that of the question of
cost, the saving of time in the COM
pletion Of the canal and that a more
satisfactory foundation can be secured
at Mirahores. The estimated saving
in cost will be considerable
