eOv. SPARKS
AGAIN ASKS
FOR TROOPS

Reno, New, Dec. 23-Gov. John Sparks,
indignant at the order for the removal OF
the federal soldiers by President Roose-
velt,. who was indignant that the gov
ernor should have asked for troops, took
his pen In hand last night and wrote a
telegram TO the president asking that the
soldiers be permitted to remain here. The
telegram contained what Gov Sparks re-
CARDS as additional reasons why the reg
ulars should stay at Goldfeld. Its text
was not made public.
II think some one has hoodwinked Pres
ident Roosevelt" said Gov Sparks last
night. THE president advises me to call
a special session OF the legislature. The
trouble at Goldield is purely local and
affects only Esmeralda county. To call
a session OF the legislature would impose
burden upon the entire state. All the
legislators could do would be TO author
ize the establishment of a state police
force. ] still hope the troops will not be
withdrawn and in a letter / intend 10
send TO President Roosevelt today I will
outline fully why they should remain
there. In the event they are called back
] will let the Esmeralda authorities ham
die the situation, and IL they fail / will
do everything the constitution gives me
