REFUSE TO ANSWER
APPOINTED QUESTION
Representative Tells of Some of
the Features Of the Trans-Miss-
issippi Commercial Congress
Now in Session at San
Francisco

, and depdeciation of any interference
called for square deal but did not
state who should say what is square.
He gave facts and figures tending to
show that whilst the farms of the
United States had garnered per
cent year for years past. the rail-
roads had reaped on an average, less
than per cent. But he did not give
the amount of water upon which the
railroads had reaped per cent, and
we know that the farms carry no
water except for irrigation.
Upon the introduction of each speak
er the President announced that the
delegates could answer and ask ques-
tions, but would be limited to three
minutes time in which to do so. Up
on the introduction of Mr. Stubbs, the
presiding officer requested that he be
not interrupted but that the questions
and answers might be made after he
was through. This announcement
must have been requested by Mr.
Stubbs himself, as soon as he con-
cluded his remarks l arose and asked
for three minutes of time within which
to ask a question, but did not occupy
half minute. The question l asked
was this:
rs it true, Mr., Stubbs, that the mar
chants of San Francisco object to the
granting to Nevada, by your corpor-
alton, of terminal rates?"
Mr.. Stubs, in that exceedingly
short space of time had vanished
from the platform. The presiding Of
ficer called for him. He was still in
the hail. He heard the call but he
was sitting and occupied in the ex
ceedingly important occupation OF
having his picture took" A member
of the California delegation arose to
answer me and occupied about ten
minutes of the three allotted to him
but did not answer the question wheth
er it is true or not that San Francisco
merchants and stock jobbers oppose
the granting of terminal rates to the
state of Nevada by the Central Pa
cific Railroad company.
At least six of the reporters of the
San Francisco papers subsequently
sought me and interviewed me to
ascertain the exact words | had used.
and l dictated the same to those who
had not clearly heard me. Not one OF
these papers printed my remarks. 1t
Is evident to me that the sum and
substance of the very few words that
| used could not pass the business
offics of the San Francisco press.

begin the serving CT terms at the
prison for various crimes. Two of
them, a man and mis- wife, begin the
serving of a twenty year sentence for
the murder of a tramp at the Dry
Lake Pumping Station in Lincoln
county. The crime for which they
must spend the long sentence in the
penitentiary is for murder and is one
Of the most cold-blooded on the rec
ords of criminal history in this state
for many years past.
The two. Carrie Scott and John L.
Scott, were the keepers Of. the station
and while on duty there shot and
killed Joseph Webb, a tramp, while
he was in the act of getting drink
of water at the station.
After committing the dastardly
deed, they left the station believing
that there had been no witnesses to
the crime The woman is 40 and the
man As years of age.
Both of the prisoners are of the
cold blooded sort and evidence no
sorrow regarding their crime.
The other prisoners brought here
are Wagner, one year for burglary;
Grant and Walsh, each one year for

Many Voters

RENO, Oct 9.-The registration Oh
100 and Justice of the Peace Bell
who is registration agent for Reno
township, states that it will be 1000
by the time the registration books are
closed tomorrow night.
Out of the 300 names already reg
istered it is stated that about 60 per
cent of them are new ana the poll
ticians ara unable to account for this.
They state that as the registration wa
about $500 two years ago there
should be at least 2,0O0 of the old
voters registered this year.
The coming specia Ielection at
which the Reno Anti-Gambling Leagu
will endeavor 20 have the people vote
fer the adoption OF an ordinance pro-
hibiting gambling in Reno has had
much to do with the great increase
in the registration in Reno and it
is stated that there will be may chal-
lenges at the polls on the day of the
special election.
The members of the League de-
clare that the gamblers are register
ing men who have no legal right to
vote in Reno. They state that they
will also carry the contest to the
general election and that many of the
people now registered will not be al
lowed to vote at that election.
The gamblers, backed by the Royal
Arch, have declared that they will
challenge the votes of all the stu
dents of the University of Nevada,
who have registered in Reno and who
are not residents of this county.
They clai1S that, according to an act
of the Legislature the students in the
University from other parts OF the
state do not gain residence in this
county by attending The college.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. s. 1908.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. s, 1908.
Editor Appeal
President Roosevelt suggested to
the 18th assemblage of the Trans-M Mis-
sissippi Commercial Congress that ii
should not waste much time in throw.
ing boquets. but that it should rather
devote its attention to the business
affairs of the Trans-Mississipp Sec
ton. The suggestion from our Presi-
dent up to the date of my writing. has
been strictly ignored. and have seen
nothing but boquets thrown. from the
speakers to the audience until l at
tempted to land a Scotch thistle.
The key note, as announced by the
presiding officer, was an appeal to
patriotism. This appeal up to this
writing. has been strictly ignored.
Every speaker has spoken for his
section, and pulled upon the table
cloth as hard as he could to reach
the turkey.
The best compliment paid to San
Francisco and the indomitable energy
OF its people came from Senator Har-
ris Of Galveston. Texas. Besides be-
ing a most brilliant man he had the
opportunity to compare the disaster
of the food that hurt Galve with
the disaster of the earthquake and
fire that hurt San Francisco, and his
cnv a oyio IN 70 nf Era
cisco for having gotten the worst.
The best speech delivered was by
John J. Perrett, the head man of the
Bureau of American Republics. From
his mouth flowed a wide river OF
speech" filled with facts and figures.
He conclusively proved to his hearers
that whilst we should not neglect the
trade of the Orient, that we should
pay far greater attention to the trade
that can be derived with twenty Amer
lean republics lying south of us, and
with which we have a high water
way. His figures were astounding.
He urged the learning of Spanish by
all young people. In fact he man.
aged to put In plenty of moisture in
the driest of subjects.
The pleasantest speech was de-
livered by Benjamin lde Wheeler OF
the California University. His COM
PARSONS of the people Of the East
and those of the West were particu-
larry happy.
The speech Of J. G. Stubbs, traf-
fic manager of the Hartman lines.
really attracted the most attention.
He acted as the representative of Mr..
Hartman. II was a most carefully
prepared argument in favor of a most
liberal policy towards the railroads

FLANAGAN
BUTTED IN
And Lost Carson CITY a
Private Water
System.

Editor Appeal: Is OF not a fact
that eight years ago when P. L. Elan
igan was in the State Eenate he took
a hand in a public meeting here called
to provide for bond issue that Car
son might be able to own her own
water system and did he not fight the
bond proposition along with the Re-
publican members of the Legislature
ton defeat the public ownership OF
water system for the City of Car
son? This being the case can anyone
with the good of the city at heart
vote for Flanagan or any man on the
Republican Legislative ticket? Did
not Mr.. Flanagan at that same meet
ing publicly urge a property quail
fication for voters and did not he also
say that he did not want the hobo
vote? Is he not now out campaign
ing and begging the hoboes to voc
for him? The fact that P. l.. Flani-
gan, senator from WasnOe county
butted into a matter which only be-
longed to Ormsby and was a vital
question here at the time, should beat
him in this county.
He prevented water consumers here
getting a lower rate for water and
mis- interference should be publicly
resented on election day.
l am a Republican but l place the
of Carson City before my
party and l shall vote for Mr.. New
lands on the Sd day of November.

HARD BLOW TO SPRING VALLEY

Judge Farringtons decision in the
Spring Valley water case in San Fran
cisco, is hard blow to the corpora
tion. He cut their big valuation
down nearly one-half, reduced their
legal earnings from Is per cent to
and also decided that they had no
right to ask the city to pay their fire
losses as. their own neglect to have
proper water mains and water supply
stored for such emergencies was their
own fault and their losses come under
me head of contributory negligence.
Spring Valley has been in the habit
of owning the San Francisco judi
ciary, but they don't seem able to
handle Nevada judges.

.SHONTs MUST PAY
Customs Officials Search Residence
md Find Imported Articles Which
Had Mst 1ssn Assessed.

New YORK, .an. 21.-Dutiable goods
valued at between $1,000 and $1,500
upon which no duty was paid when
they were brought in from Europe by
Mrs. Theodore P. Shoats and daughter,
were found by thss customs officials
who made a search in the Shonts resi-
dence yesterday. This statement was
made today by a representative Of
Shonts, who had been authorized to
tell of the result of the investigation.
1t, was said at the time, however, that
no effort was made at scealment
when the family arrived; se$ twenty
trunks which they brought in were
thoroughly examined by the customs
officials at that time; that the only
reason the duty was not paid was be-
cause none had been assessed. In tho
statement given out today it is said
the report to the customs officials was
made in a spirit of spite by a woman
servant who had been discharged for
cause, and Shonts regards the report,
as proved by yesterdays investiga-
tion, to have been unfounded. Shonts'
statement further explained that de-
ductions allowed under customs law
for each of four members of family
who brought in the articles in ques-
tion reduced the sum due to $32O.O2.

Horace Duncan, of Rapid City, S. d.,

Mckenzie Says Roads Have Taken
Advantage of Change in Hours ei
Transit Law Losses to Shippers
Because of slowness in Delivering
Stock to Destination. T.,

Denver, Jan. 21.-The feature Of the
meeting Of the American National
Livestock association today was the
address of President Mckenzie.
President McKenzie's annual ad.
dress was devoted largely to criticism
of the treatment of stockmen by rail-
roads. He charges the railroads had
broken faith with the shippers Of lives
stock by taking selfish advantage Of
the change in the hours of the transit
law, which thru the efforts of the Ans
erican Livestock association, was N'p-
creased from twenty-four to thirty-sh
hours as the maximum time duringl
which livestock could be kept in cars
without being unloaded for feed, WateS
and rest. He said the railroads in-
stead of increasing their speed al
promised, consumed thirty-six hours in
running between feeding stations,
which delayed the arrival of shipments
at points of consignment, with a con-
sequent great loss to the shipper. He
favored the passage of a law by which
the railroads could be punished for
falling to give reasonable speed to lives
stock in transit and suggested that the
interstate commerce commission should
be given power to enforce such law

Workers
MITCHELL OFFICIALLY RETIREs
He Has Been President Of the Or

Years, and Refuse. to Stand for Re-

nual Reports Submitted.

Indianapolis, Jan. 21.-The ninetieth
annual convention of the United Mine
Workers of America opened today in
Tomlnson hall, with 1000 delegates.
representing the anthracite and bitum-
inous coal mining districts of the coun-
try. The convention will remain in
session probably until after January
80, on which date the miners and oper-
ators of the central competitive field
will meet in conference to discuss the
revival of the interstate wage agree
ment Except this, little of Importance
will come before the convention, which
has an especial interest as marking
Mitchell, who has been at the hes5l of
the organization nine years and seven
months. On account of i'll health he
declined to stand for reelection.
Larger Than Ever Before.
With his annual report President
Mitchell submitted statistical tables
indicating the growth, progress and
achievements of the organization dur
ing his presidency. The average paid
up membership has increased from 81
731 in 1897, to 263,726 in 1907, and the
organization is in better condition
than ever before. The re-
port said that to bring into the or
ganization other miners will require
much money and possibly the inaug-
uration of some new policy. The Bit
ter hostility of bituminous operators
and tho Indifference of the anthracite
miners were mentioned as factors. At
tention was called to mine casualties
and laws for further protecting the
miners were asked for.
Need $10,O00,000 in Treasury.
Secretary Treasurer Wilson. in his
report, states that the organization has
on hand $S64,S9O Large as this sum
is, Wilson said that there should be in
the treasury not less than $10,000,00O
in case of a general strike.
