SAM DAVIS
CONVERSION
He Says Religious Panic
Has Never Touched

An Appeal reporter called on Mr..
Sam Davis at the rooms of the Fub-
licity Bureau this morning to know
if the story printed in the Sacra-
mento and San Francisco papers re-
garding his conversion to christian
ity were true. He made most en-
phatic denial, and said the whole
yarn sprang from his being on the
revivalist excursion train which went
to Reno to hear Dr. Bulgin preach.
Il was on the train like many
others who took advantage of the op-
portunity to 60 to Reno and return
On the same day. l did not take part
in any street parade or head any
possessions to clean out Reno gamb-
ling hells
Il attended Dr. Bulgins services in
this city on one occasion. l did not
go again as | do not approve of his
sensational methods of preaching.
Without desiring to criticize his
methods l will state that l don't be-
leve that any man has a right to
regard women and girls as immoral
because they waltz and play cards.
Christ, the master teacher of
morality forgave the woman who was
charged with much more serious Of
! fences than Waiting and cards.
| Il don't believe in gambling but if
other people wish TO lose their money
at the faro table and roulette wheel
! | regard it as no affair of mine. No
! | can safely say that the revival
| panic that swept over this city and
| has reached Reno, never touched me.
| Possibly people may say that I had
no deposits in the bank Of religion
and was therefore immune.
'While not caring to discuss this
question | will state most emphatical-
ly that l never regarded my religion
or morals as sufficiently extensive
to place on dress parade in the
streets with brass band in front
The insinuation in the press dis
patch that my conversation is mere
ly part of scheme to advertise the
Publicity Bureau might be answered
by the statement that Dr. Bulgins
press agent is no raw hand at adver-
tising himself and if he was the in
ventor of the statements regarding my
alleged conversation he should be
thoughtfully remembered when salary
day comes around
Being a believer in newspaper ad-
vertising however I have no criticism
to make
AS for entering upon a moral cru
sade to reform Reno must ask to be
excused, l had much rather advertise
the mineral and agricultural resourc.
es of Washoe county than look after
the morals of it's inhabitants.
"A man who successfully preserves
his own morals in this country will
, have precious little time to spare
regulating other peoples"

M'KENZIE WILL
FINANCE STATEB BANK
Public Meeting Is Called For To-
morrow Night at The Court
House In This City

The work of the Special Stock
holders Committee appointed by the
stockholders of State Bank and
Trust Co., has resulted N eminent
success. 1t will be good news to all
depositOrs OF the State Bank and
Trust Company that there is every
probability that the State Bank will
be rehabiitated and put on sound
financial basis, and that the deposit
Ors will be paid dollar for dollalt
This condition of affairs was brought
about by the efforts OF the special
stockholders committee, OF which Mr.
James T. Shaw, of this city, is chair
man. The committee, working through
Mr.. Shaw, succeeded in securing
proposition from D. Mckenzie, where
in he has agreed to finance the in
stitutiOn, providing he receives the
hearty cooperation of all the deposit
0rs and stockholders. The plans OF
reOrganiZatiOn and every Getall Will
be called forthwith, and feld tomor-
row evening at the County building.
Until that time it is hoped that every
individual interested as 4 depositor,
or otherwise in the State Bank and
Trust company, will put his shoulder
TO the wheel and aid Mr.. Mckenzie
and the special committee in ac-
complishing the desired result.
It must be said in passing, that
much credit is due Mr.. James I.
Shaw, for his untiring zeal and ef-
fort in bringing about the present
condition Of affairs He has by his
own special effort aided by other
members of the committee and coun-
sci. practically brought order out of
chaos, and, in measure solved one
OF the gravest financial problems that
has ever confronted this state.
The special committee Is now ar
ranging and working out details to be
fully presented tomorrow night, which
details will involve full and com
up to present conditions. The repor,
tomorrow night will embody generally
the propositions that Mr.. Mckenzie
will advance funds from his OWL
private fortune, thereby absolutely
guaranteeing the first ten per cen,
payment which will be made the de
positors ninety days after the open
ing of the bank.
In word. this simply means thai
the bank will open for business with
out qualifications, the only requisite
being that depositors cooperate ant
sign the agreement at the earlies
possible moment. 1t is believed tina
when the depositors realize that MI
Mckenzie has deposit of about $3.50
900 in the bank; that he is party t.
the agreement; that he will affix hi
own signature to it, and that he viii
be bound by it's terms, and that a
the heaviest depositor he will receiv
no more and no less than any Othe
depOsitOr-when all of these thing
are brought to the attention an
consideration of depositors, it mus
certainly be the concensus of opiniO
that everyone will sign willingly.

pointed Special Counsel for the con
mitttee to aE in the details of r

Of SaecbruSh ClubHoldS
au important
Meeting

Yesterday afternoon the Promotion
Committee of the Sagebrush Club
held a special meeting at the Club
rooms relative to taking steps to
boom Ormsby county.
Ex. Gov Foujade occupied the
chair The first matter to come be-
fore the committee was the matter
of securing the Experimental Agri-
culture Station which the U. S. Gov
ernment were arranging 70 place
in every western state
1t was finally decided to forward
petition to the Senators and rep
resentatives in Washington relative
to the matter. 1t was also shown
that Douglass county was already
moving in the matter and had the
move we'll under way 1t was re-
marked by one Of the committee that
Douglass county could give Ormsby
cards and spades in matters of pro-
noting the counties interests. Judge
Norcross brought up a matter which
he considered of considerable i'm
! pOrtance and that was the discovery
of very superior quality Of clay
for making brick which had been dis
covered across the river. 1t was the
same quality that was being made
into pressed brick in Reno. which
/ was the best brick ever manufactured
| here. He thought that good in
| dustry could be established here if
/ outside brick manufacturers knew of
| the extent and superiority of this
deposit. 1t was the general idea that
the widest publicity should be given
this in the shape Of literature sent
out by the Publicity Commission of
the State
Mr.. Davis. Chairman of the Pub
licity Commission stated that so far
the literature which had been sent
out from Ormsby County had been al
his own expense but he wou.d he
glad to circulate literature for Orms
by whenever the county contributed
it's proportion under section 8 of the
act. Gov. Poujade opposed any con
tribution from the County to the
Publicity Comittee A motion how
ever was made and adopted without
a dissenting vote that it as The
desire of the Promotion Committee
OF the Club that the County Com
missioners appropriate the $3.50 pro
vided for by the Act if the condition
OF the treasury warranted it, and the
Secretary ordered to place the reso
luton of the Committee before the
County Commissioners at their mex
meeting.
The question of the erection OF
the Governors mansion also came up
1t was deemed desirable to have i
erected this summer ready for occu
pancy next winter. Mr. Poujade ex
i. pressed himself as opposed on prin
ciple to a Governor mansion 1t wa
finally decided to send a petition t
l the State Board of Capitol Con
missiOners asking them to let tn

IN THE INTEREST OF FAIR PLAY
Secretary Denton Has Many Nominal
ing Petitions Corrected.

Secretary of State Denton says that
there are very few of the petitions that
have been filed in his ONCE by the can
didates of the different parties, but are
fatally defective. 1t has been his policy
in every instance where these defects
have come to his notice to advise the
party filing the same, so that correc-
tions could be made. He has done this
regardless of the politics Of the can
didate. believing it but fair that all
should have the same treatment in the
matter. But Mr.. Denton does not de.
sire to be held responsible for defects
that may be overlooked and 1t is Inn
portant that candidates or their repre-
sentatives filing papers, look after
these petitions themselves. While he
will do all possible to have corrections
made where needed for all, yet with
the very large number OF petitions be-
ing filed it must be understood that =
is Impossible for him to look after AZ
errors and in the end the canvassine
board as a body will be the final judee
of the legality and sufficiency Of all
petitions.
