Advice to Gov. Sparks.
Senator Francis G. Newlands Of
Nevada yesterday sent the following
telegram to Gov. Sparks:
My opinion is that in order to justify
the national government in using it's
armed forces to protect the state against
domestic violence, it is necessary, under
the 1OilSlitutlOH, tIdI
be made by the legislature or (when the
legislature cannot convene) by the gov
ernor. 1t is necessary, therefore, for
you, in my judgment. to convene the
Legislature and to obtain its decision
as to whether application should be
made to the President for protection, or
an adequate law passed for the organiza-
tion of a state peace force which will
maintain order and protect life and
property. Individually, / believe in the
latter course, and that the good name
of Nevada requires that it assert it's
sovereignty, maintain order and protect
life and property within it's boundaries.
and that it's duty is plain. The peace
force should not be under the control
of or paid by either the mine owners or
the miners but should stand aloof from
the industrial contest between them with
a single eye to the maintenance of or
der and the protection of life and prop
erty. In all that you have done l recog-
nize the difficulty of the situation. your
patriotic Intentions and your desire to
prevent violence and bloodshed in the
interest of the common good, but 1T is
clear that the state must sooner or later
assert its sovereignty and its firm de-
termination, unaided by the national
government, to suppress all violence, and
7 believe the time is now. u cannot be-
Iieve that the Legislature can fail to act
nronntlv and decisvely. If it does not
50 act. the responsibility is theirs. not

ASSAULTED BY A FOOTPAD
MISS LYDIA TYLER OF 1887 I
STREET ROBBED.
Received Stunning Blow From the
Rear-Police Handicapped by
Lack Of Description.

Headquarters Detectives Weldon and
Berman last evening were given a mys-
terry to solve. 1t involved an assault and
robbery committed in front of house 1887
l. street shortly before o'clock, the vic
tim being Miss Lydia Tyler, who resides
at the number mentioned. She was about
to enter the house, when she received a
stunning blow behind her right ear. de-
livered with force sufficient to knock her
down. She dropped a brown leather purse.
When she arose the purse and its con-
tents, $5 bill, some change and three
Richmond street car tickets. had disap-
peared.
Occupants of the house were excited
over the affair. The police were appealed
to and Sergt Carter sent the detectives
named to make an investigation Police
men were also sent to the house from
the second precinct station. but Miss Tyler
was unable to give any information which
would be of much assistance. She did not
see her assailant.
Realized She Was Followed.
Miss Tyler had been to the Louise
Home with her aunt Mrs. Letitia TYLER
Semple, whose death occurred yesterday
afternoon. After leaving that in
stitution she walked along Massa-
chusetts avenue to 14th street and south
to l. street, where she turned east. AS
she approached her home she realized she
was being followed. although she did not
look back. On reaching the front of the
house she turned and passed through the
gate. walking to the steps leading to the
front door.
Il had just stepped upon the lower

when l received the blow back of nv

side, hurting my arm and stunning me,
but 1 did not lose consciousness. When
l raised myself on my arm I looked and
saw my purse had disappeared"
Miss Tyler then arose. Just then the
front door opened and boarder in the
house appeared He was too late to see
the fleeing footpad, however but was able
to be of assistance to Miss Tyler. He as
sisted her into the house and with others
heard from her what had occurred
Of Frequent Occurrence.
Policemen and detectives were told by
Miss Tyler that the only injury she re-
ceived was to her arm. After hearing the
statement the members of the police de-
partment withdrew to do what they could
in the matter of locating the culprit.
1t is pointed out that it has become a
common thing for pocketbook snatchers to
rob women while in the streets in this
city Saturday nights. They are usually
satisfied to snatch a pocketbook without
going to the extreme of assaulting their
victims. The records show that in most
cases the "hold-up'' men were poorly paid
AS Miss Tyler did not even get a glimpse
of her assailant, the police have practical
ly nothing upon which to work. No one
was located who saw the thug running
from the scene. 1t is believed that he pro-
ceeded east along L street and turned into
an alley. The police of the different pre-
cincts were told of the affair and instruct
ed to be on the alert, it being feared that
the man might make an effort to repeat
the offenSe.

The Harrison police have learned much
of Miss O'Keefe's movements Just before
the murder from Thomas Flanagan. an
elevator man in a Newark department
store, who, after a visit to the morgue
today, declared with positiveness that
Miss O'Keefe had been in the store on
Christmas eve and had asked if a man
had inquired for a woman in a red dress.
He said that Miss O'Keefe appeared nerv-
Gus, and, after stating that she had an
