GOlDH|ElD TROUBLE
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SAYS
THAT NEVADA MUST ACT.
CALL OF LEGISLATURE ADVISED
Soldiers Cannot Remain indefinitely
Unless the State Of Nevada
So Declares.

Washinston-President Roosevelt in
Dictated by telegram to Governor
Sparks of Nevada that the federal
troops now al Goldfeld will be order
ed to remain there for q further Pc
riod of three weeks, provided the gov
ernor within i've days issues q call
for a special session of the state legis-
lature. The presidents letter follows:
The White House. Washington. Dec.
IS. 19O7.-Hon. John Sparks, Cover
nor. Carson City. New: Your tele-
gram of December &c is received. 1t
in effect declares that you have fail
ed to call the legislature together, be-
cause, in your judgment. the legfsla-
ture would not call upon the govern
ment of the United States for the use
of troops. although in your opinion it
ought to do SO.
The constitution of the United
States imposes. not upon you. but
upon the legislature, if it can be con-
vened. the duty of calling upon the
government of the United States to
protect the state of Nevada against
domestic violence. You now request
the armed forces of the United States
in violation Of the constitution be-
cause in your judgment the .legisla-
ture would fail to perform its duty
under the constitution.
The state government certainly
does not appear to have made any Sc
rious effort to do its duty by the ef-
fective enforcement by the use of its
police functions. I repeat what l have
already said to you several times. that
under the conditions existing in the
state of Nevada. as made known to
me. an application from the legisla-
ture of the state is an essential on
ditiOn to the indefinite continuance Of
troops at GOldfeld
Circumstances may change and If
.hey do I will take whatever action
the needs of the situation require SO
far as my constitutional powers per-
NIT. But the first need is that the
state authorities should do their duty
and the first step towards 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 cr~anize a special ses-
sion. If within five days from the
recent OF this telegram you shall have
issued the necessary notice to CON
vene the Legislature of Nevada ! shall
continue the station Of the troops at
Gcldfield during such period of three
weeks. If within the term Of FIVE
DAYS such notice has ret teen issued,
the troops will be Immediately re-
turned to their former stations.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Rene. Nev.-A special session of the
Nevada legislature will be called by
Governor John Sparks. The governor
sad that he will issue the proclama-
tiOn Monday. and that tire date of con-
vening will be in about two weeks. The
call will be made at the request of
President Roosevelt. who has notified
Eevada's governor that such action
must be taken or the troops now sta
TONED at Goldfieid will be removed.

GREAT FIRE WASTE

High Water Pressure.

Chicago, Oct l3-Efforts to check
the fire waste in the United States,
amounting to $175,000000 more than
it would under European regulations
for fire prevention, are tardily meet
ing with success in Chicago, as plans
have been prepared for a high pres

district. Although the cost will he

saved, for Chicago fire loss annually
Is $4,850,000 more than Berlins, al
though its population Is only two
thirds as large. he pTlans provide for
a pressure Of $50 pounds per square
inch, enough for tire-tighting even in
skyscrappers without fire engines and
long leads of hose in the eongested
streets. Improper building ordin-
ances faulty state laws and lack of
fire protection were given as the CHEZ
reasons why the fire waste in the
United States each year is far in eX
cess of that in other countries. For
the five years ending in 1905, the aver
age lossper capita in this country was
$2.47, whereas in Europe, the aver
age is only SO cents per year for each
man, woman and child. The annuonce
ment Of the plans came when the city
was full of insurance men, members of
the Fire IIndrwriter's Association Of
the Northwest, who in their discus
sions pointed out the reasons for the
excessive fire loss in this country in
poor building ordinances. faulty laws
and Inadequate fire prevention Its Of

in sight, but no adequate check has
yet been put upon the fire losses. IN

IS Mr.. Johnson Himself Said, When
He Had His Mind Made Up There
= Was Nothing That Could
Stop Him..

Have YOU ever experienced the
feeling, Mr. Johnson said a young
lady, softly, that some great opportu-
nifty was within your grasp, but you
had hardly the presence of mind, the
the courtesy, as it were, TO avail
yourself of it?"
"Why--er-yes, Miss Stevens,
have at times had that kind of feel
ing"
Miss Stevens sighed dreamily, and
then there was a pause, during which
| the young couple sat in the semidark
ness of the parlor in profound silence
| He sat down and looked helplessly al
| the glowing Goals in the CRATE, with
the feeling that every breath he drew
was Notifying and CHASTITY blunder
AS you were about to say, Mr.
Johnson resumed the young lady,
there are times when 1t seems to
all of us we must speak what is in
our minds
Yes, vaguely answered the bewil-
dered youth. as he tried to remember
when he had begun to say anything
OF rhe kind Yes, of course"
And while am not so sure ought

"Wh.which is Walter?" he gasped

"Wh--who's he courting?"
You'll have to come closer. Mr.
Johnson. declare, though"-and she
looked archly at the trembling youth
II am almost afraid TO let you come
any nearer You look exactly like Wal
ter in the picture"
And then the arm OF the helpless
young man stole in timid, apologet-
ic, sneaking way round the waist of
the charming Miss Stevens. her head
sank upon his shoulder and the book
of engravngs fell neglected to The
floor.

she toyed with the button of his coat.
