Because they believed that a prom
inent citizen had been murdered in
a Chinese restaurant, 1900 men raid
ed and wrecked the Oriental quarter
late Christmas night Restaurants
and laundries we're smashed and
doors, windows and entire fronts Of
buildings were reduced TO splinters
The regular police of the town were
powerless and a brigade of mounted
police had to be called out to quell
the riot. A story was circulated that
Harry Smith, well-known cattle
rancher had been fatally wounded in
"a restaurant Curfous1y enough,
neither Smith nor any one else had
been hurt, but even the police were
misled by the tale and two Orientals
were arrested charged with the muir
der.
An indignant mob gathered oppo
site the restaurant and there was talk
of lynching Sunddenly some one
threw rock, which smashed front
window. In moment the crowd was
beyond control. Bricks and stones
were hurled and when the doors had
been broken In the tables and dishes
inside were smashed
Later a squad of mounted police |
appeared and the crowd scattered. |
Hundreds Of rioters merely shifted
the scene of the pillaging. Three
blocks away, opposite the Arlington
Hotel. they cleaned out another Chi
nese restaurant and roughly handled
two Orientals who were captured |
within.
Mayor Galbreath and MagistrateI
Townsend both addressed the mob
and urged it TO dispense, and as all
possible damage had been done 1t

SENATOR NEwLANDs URGES
THAT THEN Be DIRECTED
TO REMAIN.
SITUATION IS A SERIOUS ONE
Governor Sparks May Call An
Extra Session OF the Leg
islature.

WASHINGTON. Dec, 27-senato
Newlands, Of Nevada. is endeavorini
TO prevent a withdrawal of the Gov
eminent troops from Goldheld unit
some other means Of protection il
had. Today he called upon Score
tary Taft at the War Department and
strongly urged that the execution Of
the order issued by the Secretary
for the Withdrawal of the troops next
Monday be suspended until he has
had an opportunity TO communicate
with GOV. Sparks ana endeavor to
induce him to call the Nevada Legis-
lature together.
The situation at Gooldfield can not
be continued in view Of the doubt
that exists as to the Constitutional
and legal right of the executive to
employ any part of the regular army
in Nevada under present conditions.
Gov. Sparks attention has been re-
Deatedly called to the fact that this
constitutional doubt might be re-
rnoyed ~ the simple device of call
ing together the Legislature, when that
body could either give its warrant to
the use of the Federal troops or pro-
vide BY Legislation for raising State
force of some kind, either militia or
~ sumoiant m insure the main
tenanee of peace and the observance
of law in Goldfeld. 1t is believed
that Senator Newlands' appeal today
will convene the Legislature, and If this
belief is well founded, the Govern
uient troops would probably be re-
tanned at Goldfield until some other
arrangements can be made.
Following the receipt of Senator
Newland's protest, Secretary Of War
Taft tonight communicated with Pres
ident Roosevelt at Pine Knot, in re-
gard to the withdrawal of the troops.
The Secretary declined to state what
courses he had recommended in the
matter nor would he say whether he
had heard from the President in turn. |
Secretary Loeb said the White House
was entirely without advices from
Pine Knot. as the Goldfield question
was being handled by the War De
partment.

FOOTBALL IN

LAsTlc MEETING.
TO Be DECIDED IN JANUARY
II Not Eliminated Sport Viii Be
Limited 70 Three or Four
Games.

! NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 2S.-A
decided sensation was sprung at tn.
Tennessee scholastic meeting helt
here Friday afternoon when the com
plete adjustment of football was
discussed and then set for final de
cision at another meeting to be held
in Nashville the last Saturday in Jan.
uary.
AT one time IT was officially decided
to cut out football completely. but
after a long discussion it was voted
to hold another meeting before any
definite action Is taken. although 1t
seemed to be the sense of the meet
ing that scholastic football in Tonnes
see should be abolished or at least
radically revised.
The complaint offered against the
game was that it took too much time
away from studies, and was entirely
too costly, the outlay each season
for coach, uniforms and guarantees
ranging around 5000 or $500. There
was no complaint against the rough
ness of the game or the playing of
ineligible men, the two points named
above being the chief reasons as
signed
1t is understood that if football is
not totally abolished in Tennessee
prep. ranks that all professional or
paid coaches will be eliminated and
that each teams schedule will be
limited to or 4 games. Several
other matters We're taken up, the next
of a team could receive a !
scholarship or any expenses for doing |
other work for more than the actual |
tuition called for. That is-no mem |
Der of team can earn more by any |
sort of work above his tuition fees

From now until the January meet /
ing the head masters of the different
schools will think over the matter at
ength and decide whether to abolish
he game or restrict as mentioned
above.

"a young woman came to our city

told us that she had scabies (the itch) 4,
incipient paresis, rheumatism. etc.,
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was mass c. sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. We worked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day l bought 'ake of
Cuticura Soap and bottle of Cuti-

patient well and gave her a full dose
of the Resolvent She slept better that
night and the next day l got box of

Japanese Dishes Not INVITING.

Japanese dishes fail to satisfy
American cravings says Gen. Philip
Reade in a letter to the Army and
Navy Journal. Imagine a diet with
out milk, bread, butter jam, coffee,
salad, or any sufficient quantity of
nicely cooked vegetables, without pud-
ding, stewed fruit, and with compare
lively little fresh fruit. The European
vegetarian will find as much difficulty
in making anything out of it as the
ordinary meat eater. Along the main
railroad artery neat little boxes of
Japanese food (bento) are offered for
sale at the principal stations, at a
cost of IA cents; also pots of tea,
including teapot and earthen teacup,
for two cents. The bento may con-
tain, in neat separate compartments,
prawn, fish, chicken, rice, preserved
ginger, johnnycake, omelette, broiled
mushroom, slice of radish, glazed
beans, some kind of sweet pickle,
tripe, slice of cooked chestnut, lie
orice, etc. The bento is inviting to
the eye, is garnished in green, is neat
ly wrapped, and the contents varied
as the resources of the locality ad-
nit"
