Governor Sparks Signs New Police Law

When the Nevada Legislature met last Monday morning there
was little business transacted in the Senate, but in the Assembly III
was hustle and activity. The Police bill that had passed the oen-
ate the Friday before was the first business to come up before the
House that morning for consideration. After the usual Prehmin
aries had been disposed of a motion was made that the House re-
solve itself into Committee of the Whole for the purpose o discus
sing the Police measure.
The speakers for and against the bill were numerous ana con-
sumed nearly the entire day in its consideration. An adjournment
was then taken until Tuesday morning at the usual hour.
After the House had adjourned the Friday previous an informal
caucus was held in the Assembly chamber by members OF that BODY
which developed the fact that a new feature had been brought 1or
ward which if not acceded to would result in killing the bill
The proposition was that unless the mine operators at Goldnela
eliminated their demands that their employees renounce the western
Federation of Miners and also forego the card system a large ma
iority of those friendly to the measure would vote against 1T IN the
Assembly.
On Sunday night following a meeting of the Mine Owners As
ISOLATION was held in Goldfeld and a resolution was adopted aooi-
ishing the card system and declaring an open camp policy Inc
action taken by the association was because of the TACT that the
agreement the men were required to sign is in conflict with the
Statutes of Nevada.
The plan of the operators now is to employ men regardless OF
their membership in any union.
As soon as the action taken by the mine operators became
known no other obstacle remained in the way to prevent It's passage
The bill was taken up Tuesday forenoon and passed by a vote oil 81
to Z. Governor Sparks signed the measure Wednesday and 1t Is
now a law of the State.

NEvADANs WANT THEIR MONEY
Creditors of the I. b. Hickey
State Trust Banks Talk of
Criminal Proceedings

Reno, Nevada, Jan. 30.-Depositors
in Carson City and Tonopah are organ
izing to force the I. B. Hickey financial
syndicate to reopen the doors of the five
banks in this State. Threats Of Grim
inal proceedings are heard frequently
and the sentiment is aggravated con-
stantly by reports from the State CAPT.
tai that friends Of the institution are
being paid in full while others will not
receive more than 80 cents on the dollar.
Hickey says he is considering an offer
from a Reno banker to buy him out.
and he admits telling q meeting Of ofic-
ials Of the syndicate that he wanted a
salary of $4,000 a month for acting as
president.
Rickey's promise to recoupdepositors'
losses by putting mp his private fortune
was herald with joy by Carsonites. but
since the pledge was put in writing he
has backed down. Richard Kirman,
after waiting nine weeks for payment
of 5000. was given the money due
him by Hickey when the threat OF
criminal action was made before the
directors.
The State Bank Examiners are
blamed for reporting the institution SOL
vent when its own officials admit it's
weakness. At the time of the suspen-
sion Of the Hickey banks in five towns
in this State it was reported that the
assumption Of the debts Of the Sullivan
Rice promotions caused the suspension.
Hickey was also accused of having in
vested the securities Of the ban ks with.
out comforting with the directors.

The question of submitting the Police measure to a vote OF the
people of this State through the constitution and the iniahve and
referendum is causing considerable debate among those interested
on either side. The referendum law passed the Nevada Legislature
during the session of 1901 and became a part OF the constitution by
approval of the people in 1904. This measure provides that "when-
ever 10 per centum of the voters shall so petition any law, passed
by the Legislature, it shall be put to a vote OF the people. Ii a
majority of the voters signify the approval of the Act it shall stand
as a law and shall not be annuled. When such majority shall sig
nifty their disapproval, the law so disapproved shall be void and OF
no effect" Petitions are already prepared and will go out as soon
as the Legislature adjourns.
The Act giving the Attorney General the power to appoint
deputies in any county in Nevada to assist in prosecuting criminal
cases was passed. The bill becomes a law as soon as the Governor
af6xes his signature. This is a bill acting in conjunction with the
Police measure, and to insist in the prosecution OF the criminal
element at Goldfeld.
Governor Sparks has announced that he will appoint Capt W.
L. Cox of Reno as superintendent of the new State police system
Both Houses of the Legislature decided to adjourn Saturday
the 2Oday limit expiring the following day, Sunday.

workers In coal mines In the territories.
In this connection Mr.. Garfield said.
ut is suggested hat the officers of the
geological survey having the matter In
charge should not only investigate the
general mining conditions in the terri
tories, but also the nature and extent
of mine accidents, particularly those re-
sulting from explosions, and report to
the department the results of such In
vestigations. These should contain also
suggestions as to how mining condi-
tons may be improved and accidents
prevented without undue hardship to
the operators" In view of the broad
nature Of their Instructions the officers
of the survey delegated to the task did
not confine their examination to the
coal mining regions of the territories.
but, in addition to their work there,
have been investigating the nature. ex-
tent. causes and results Of disastrous
mine explosions In several states.
1t Is In the coal mines of the ALE
ghany mountain region that the worst
accidents have recently occurred. One
of the most awful of these disasters
In fact, one of the most dreadful catas-
trophies In the history of mining-was
the explosion and fire In the Fairmont
mines at Monongah, in the coal region
Of West Virginia, on Dec. @. In this
case a shot blew open a pocket of gas,
which exploded, wrecking the giant
fan hat was used to drive foul air
out of the mine. The wrecking of the
fan was one of the worst features of
the accident, for with this out of COM
mission the fatal afterdamp accumu-
lated In all the galleries, and the men
imprisoned were smothered to death
by the hundred almost instantly. Res
cue work was nearly hopeless under
these circumstances. 1t was death to
enter the mines In the absence of ven
tilation, and the destruction of the fan
meant delay in the work Of getting out

Dropping in Nevada

During the year 1907. owing to the
number and extent of the many rich
gold strikes made in nearly every
county in Nevada, the attention of the
general public has been diverted from
the knowledge Of the full number of
reduction plants In operation in this
State. The number of stamps dropping
in Nevada is no small surprise even to
those who believe they are keeping tab
on mining matters up to date. The
Mining World published in Chicago in
its January number prints the TO-.
lowing list Of mills in this State and the

Government Starts Suit Against Hartman

Washington, d. c., January 25-Attorney General Bonaparte
to-day directed that a bill in equity be filed to set aside the control
by the Union Pacific Railroad Company and its subsidiary corpora
lions of the Southern Pacific and the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake road; also to have declared illegal the ownership by the
Union Pacific or the Oregon Short Line of stock In the Sante fe'
the Great Northern, and Northern Pacific, all of said lines being
competitors of the Union Pacific.
The Attorney General to-day issued an official statement to this
effect, and after referring to the extended investigation by the Inter
state Commerce Commission into the relations existing between the
various lines of road engaged in trans-continental traffic, says:
"From the evidence so adduced and from independent inyesti
CATION, the Department has arrived at the conclusion that the stock

SUIT Against a Monopoly
"The Department regards the suit as of first importance, as it
is soughtby means thereof to break up substantial monopoly the OF
transportation business of the country between the Missouri river
on the eastand the entire Pacific Coast south of Portland Oh the west
"Aside from the railway companies above named, the other de-
PENDANTS in the suit are the Farmers Loan and Trust Company of
New York, which is the depository of all the stock of the San Pedro
road under a contract by which it is required to give proxies to such
persons as may be named by Mr.. Hartman and MI. Clark for a PEI

The Great Railroad Mergers
The beginning of the Government suit to dissolve the Hartman
merger brings into strong relief the extent to which the railroads OF
the country have been grouped in few hands. The Hartman sys-
tenn is the greatest in mileage and is surpassed in capitalization only
by the Pennsylvania system. The great railroads are grouped as

WORK on THE PARKWAY.
Cement Road for Vanderbilt Cup
Race Rapidly Taking Shape.

To appreciate the rapid strides that are being
made in the work OF the building of the Long
Island Parkway, of which eleven miles Is expected
to be completed for the Vanderbilt Cup trials
and the big itself in October, ride over the
course is necessary. Tribune reporter on the
invitation of the American Automobile Association,
under whose auspices the will be held, enjoyed
this pleasure yesterday.
That eleven miles will be completed in time for
the races seems certainty. and that the course
will be the fastest built for of its kind
seems also a foregone conclusion. The work the
bridges the railroad tracks and roads is pro-
crossing rapidly. The roads now under construc-
ton being built OF crushed stone There are
three cement bridges and steel span, which is
about ninety feet long, and this is being built so
that the cars can 1t without reducing speed.
In the entire there hills Of very
great grade. and about one-haf of the course has
a slight downward incline, while the remainder is
about level Great has been taken in laying
out the eleven miles Of cement road. which has
been made twenty feet wide and banked at all
turns The remainder of the course consists Of
country roads. which have been repaired and will
be in prime condition the day OF the race.
There are eight sharp turns the old part Of
the course which will require steady handling to
turn but the concrete part the drivers will be
able to go fast they like without trouble.
The surface of the cement will be smooth as
glass when the day of the race comes and ii is on
this portion Of the course that those familiar with
the race look for the best time. Already num-
Der of automobsts and racing drivers have looked
the course over and enthusiastic over the pros
poets for high speed.
A large grandstand will be erected at some point
along the cement part of the but just where
the committee In charge decline to say. 1t was
said however that the stand would be so erected
as TO allow the specta tors to have unobstructed
view of the entire eleven miles of the concrete
roadway. with its windngs and twistings. This
part of the course is through even, prairie-like
country. with nothing on it save a short growth
of grass and the view will be excellent There are
