MIGRATING TO CARSON CITY.
Overcrowded Reno Losing Residents
Who go to the Capitol to Find
Places to Live

The Gazette has the following:
The demand for homes in Carson
City is becoming so great that the
people of that city are unable TO furn-
ish homes and rooms for the new
residents and several prominent
business place are planning to build
number of cottages in the capital
city for the purpose of renting them.
In speaking of this great demand for
homes in Carson City and asked for
the reason of the sudden growth Of
the capital city, ]. F. Shaughnessy,
member of the railroad commission,
said:
Carson like all other cities in the
state is beginning to feel that wave
o. prosperity that is now growing
rapidly, but the principal reason for
this demand for homes in Carson is
that Reno is unable to accommodate
all the new residents coming here
and these people are renting homes iE
Carson for their families. ...
There is not vacant home in thu
city Of Sparks, and now that Rene
and Sparks houses are all rented tn
people are taking their families t

The above disposes of the location
of the Governors Mansion site for all
time. When this letter was read to
the mass meeting last evening at the
court house the audience rose and
broke into cheers for Tom Hickey.
There was a lot of noise and enthus-
iasm and for one everybody in Carson
was unanimous one way and all pull
ing together.
The idea of having the Governors
Mansion located there first originated
with Mrs. Hickey. She communicate
ed with her husband, who was out of
the city, and he returned Immediately
to carry out the idea. 1t is certainly
a happy solution of tne whole thing
and gives the best of satisfaction to
everybody in Carson.
The locality is high and dry, in ar
excellent neighborhood, easily drained
and in fact an ideal place. There is
a large barn near the site owned b.
E. B. Yerington which might be con
sidered as being in the way.
The Appeal understands that HI
will probably sell or move the strue
.ture.
Property in the west end of the cit
has already appreciated in value b
reason of the location of the site.
The following is the report of tn
committee selected to secure sit

MORE INSURANCE FRAUDS
They are Now Charged With irresu
laritieS in Ballotinq

NEW YORK, April 11.-Startling
charges of wholesale forgeries of bal
lots of policy-holders in the recent
insurance elections were made against
the officials of the Mutual Life and
the New York Life Insurance COM
panies by the International Policy
holders committees. These forgerieS
it is alleged, were probably of suffi-
cient volume to keep the discredited
old management in power.
Every charge made by the commit
tee is based on a ballot declared void
by the inspectors of the State insur-
ance department, which is still en-
gagged in canvass of votes cast on
December is, and on atfidavits Of
policy-holders that they did not sign
the ballots counted. In each instance
the count was in favor OF the admin
istration.
Among the charges against the
officials of the New York Life are:
Forging the ballots OF the entire
family of five policy-holders, none Of
whom cast a vote Or take any inter-
est in the affair.
Forging the name OF a New York
merchant on a ballot witnessed by
an agent, whom he has not seen for
two years.
Forging a ballot of another New
Yorker and giving his residence, a
number which is included IN grave
yard.
Forging the ballots of scores Of
dead policy-holders who had long
ceased to pay premiums.
Among the charges of the Mutual
Life officials are:
Wholesale forgery OF policy-holders
names to Peabody ballots, when the
policy-holders had really voted against
the administration.
Persuading wives to forge name o.
their husbands, telling them that the
ballot was a mere matter of form.
The most glaring instance of alleg
ed fraud which has come to the ligh
relates to the New York Life canvass
according to the International com
mittee, concerns the ballots of Charlie
William, Sophia, Mary and Louis
Haussler, who are cited on the ballot
as living at Forty-fifth and Eleventh
avenues, this city. They were visite
by agents of the committee The
declared that not a member of tn
family had voted in the recent ele,
ton and that they had not lived d
the Forty-tifth street address fC
more than two years.
Mrs. Louise Hausser-Blonsele mad
the astonishing affidavit that she ha
= been married more than two yeal
and had notified the New York Lii
of the change of her name and a
dress more than two years ago.

THAW JURY STILL OUT
The Jury Disasrees and Have Gcne
Out to Eat

NEW YORK, April LITTLE july II
the Thaw case were again called INTO
court by Justice Fitzgerald this after
noon and again announced that they
We're unable to agree. There was 10
intimation how they stood, but
rumor gained ground after they had
retired that they stood eight to four
for acquittal. The sheriff announced
that they were going to dinner and
would not return to the jury room be-
fore nine this evening.
Harry Thaw was in very low spirits
after the jury retired and he was
taken into the prisoners pen. He
sent for his wife, his mother and other
members of the family, and had .
long conversation with them. He
looked worn out and worried, as die
all the members of the family, fo
whom the strain of the day had beer
very great.

Carson to live, while they attend to
their business affairs in Reno"
James Nevin, state bullion tax col
lector, was standing near while Mr..
Shaughnessy was talking to the Ga
zette man and hearing the conversa-
ton said:
Yes, that is right, Reno is unable
to accommodate the people and for
that reason the new comers are rent
| ing homes in Carson. Reno should
have at least two hundred more
homes for rent in order to accom-
modate the people looking for homes
here at the present time"

first step, viz; separate charters.
The miners were to meet last night
and take the next step, probably an
election and a committee of miners
To confer for settlement.
Meet in Conference.
On the contrary during the day,
several hours before the night ses-
sion, committee from Miners Union
hall, headed by Daniel Roudebush,
called upon the employers executive
board and in few words showed that
/ it had no idea of conforming to the
spirit of the original resolution. The
members stated that the miners had
agreed to support the |. w w. in any
boycott or strike.
Instantly, both sides saw that any
further conference with such a prop
oSitiOn before it, would be turtle.
The operators have never receded
from their position that the miners
must be independent. They may be-
long to the Western Federation or any
other union, but must not be affiliated
or connected with the Industrial
Workers of the World. That one or
ganization, and that only, is pro
scribed in this district. And the
operators say the mines will remain
closed until the |. ". w. has absolute
ly no voice in this camp. So long as
the miuers agree to assist the organi-
zation in any boycott or striks, that
places them in affiliation with that
body and renders a settlement strictly
. impossible.
The miners committee withdrew
: within a few minutes.
A few hours later the miners with
the members of the |. w. w, met at
their hall, heard the report of Roude-
bush and the otheer members of the
= committee, which report, by the way,
stated that the operators were show
ing bad faith and were unfair, and
= then vote was carried indorsing the
committees work to date.
The employers committee met dur
e ing the evening, but adjourned until
r today.

.GOLDF|ELD'S LABOR TROUBLE
AS EXPLAINED BY A GOLDFIELO RESIDENT NOW VISIT
ING IN CARSON CITY

The situation i'll Goldfeld continues
to re very uncertain. The foE'ow;ng
is from the Goldfield Tribune:
Contrary to expectations and dia-
metrically in opposition to the ptans
of the conservative element of the
miners of Goldtield, allegiance to the
Industrial Workers of the World was
the practical result of last nights
meeting.
This position does not clear ,hc
atmosphere. 1t postpOnes the date
for settlement and reopening of the
mines.
The hall was packed literally, and
in the accepted term of outsiders, as
usual, being present. Tuesday night
is that for miners. Last night mem
bers of the |. w. W. were in attend
ance and dictated discussion and pro-
cedure. The rank and file of the
miners were not allowed to speak.
The mass meeting vote on Saturday
afternoon showed that the miners

own W. F. NJ. charter without town
workers" being included, which Is
clearly the letter and spirit OF the
national constitution of the fedora
ton. and is exactly what the employ
ers demand.
What Was Expected.
Last evening this vote was to have
been ratified in executive session o.
miners, and miners alone. 1t was not
The miners were to choose their owl
officers and attend to their own knit
ting, settling their disputes with thel
employers. They did not. The.
were to have appointed miners

to meet in conference with the en-
ployers and arrange an agreement TO
resumption of work. They did moi
They were to formally and finall
cut loose from the l. w. w. in thi
district-not nationally, as they hav
not such power-and paddle THE
own canoe. They did not.
Moreover, if reports are true, tn
miners have been led to believe thu
the operators are antagOnistic
them and that the employers ha,
shown bad faith.

committee of the Goldfield Bushes

RAPID motion the blocks spall, or
cnlp, badly from the edges, while
perfect paving stone, like the Medina
stone, wears uniformly. Two of the
main streets of Cleveland, Ohio,
where the grades are low and there
Is an enormous volume of rapid and
light as well as heavy traffic, are
paved with Medina stone. Superior
street was paved twenty three years
ago and when Mr.. Thompson was
last there, two years ago, the paving
was Still in good condition, though
there was then talk of renewing it.
He SAYS that under similar conditions
In Seattle the best paving stones
from the quarries of this county, or
anywhere else in the state, so far as
he knows, would not last more than
three years. 1t is for this reason
that stone blocks are used only on
the sleeper grades. II they would
stand up" under the strain of "trot-
ting traffic" on the comparatively
level streets the demand for them
would be enormous and large forces
OF men could be kept constantly EN-.
ployed at the several quarries in this
county.
The Sucia island stone is now being
most extensively used in Seattle.
Mr.. Thompson's chief criticism upon
1T is that it is lacking in uniformity
of texture. He considers the Stuart
island stone superior to that of Wal
dron island for paving purposes.
The Sweeney stone has not yet been
fully tested. A number of samples
were obtained this week by one of
Mr.. Thompson's assistants and these
will be thoroughly tested in Seattle.
1T is possible that as the several
quarries are developed the grade of
the stone will Change and a quality
be found that will be suitable for ex
tensive use on the low grade streets
In the meantime great many blocks
will be used on the sleeper streets.
