ton authorities say that the home

the increase. European steamers in
the past four days have carried away
not less than 1O,400 aliens as stees-
age passengers The weeks total IS
expected to reach upwards of IT,

Statistics show that since October,
between 475,000 and 100000 labor
ers have departed, and no let-up is
looked for by the steamship compau-
les for some time to come. The shut
ting down of factories, suspension &C

business activity that has thrown
thousands out Of employment, are
held to be responsible for the NOV :

FOLLOWS The
DEAD governor
"RILEY" DAVIS ANSWERS THE
LAST SUMMONS AT CAR
son CITY.

Slightly over twenty-seven hours
after Governor John Sparks passed
away at his home near Reno, his sec
rotary, William Riley Davis died at
his home in Carson City, and the ma
ture of the complaint of the two men
was to a considerable degree alike.
Death came to Mr.. Davis Saturday
morning a few minutes before the
noon hour. while Governor Spar6s
died the previous day at $3.50 o'clock.
The Carson News has the following
account of the Incidents surrounding
his death:
Mr.. Davis had been i'll slightly over
week, but from the second day OF
his Illness little hope was entertatl-
ed for his recovery, owing to his age
and frail constitution. He died With
out the knowledge that his chief and
dearest friend, Governor Sparks, ha |
crossed the bar before him.
Death came peacefully after days
of suffering, as the patient fell into
sleep from which he never awaken
ed, passing from life to the great be-
yond without regaining conscious
ness. For the last several days of his
| life he was in a comatose condition
and when he reused from this condi-
ton he was unable to communicate
with those at his bedside owing to
the fact that he could not articu-
late.
The deceased was born in Indianl
in October, 1870, and came to Nevada
when 90 years of age. He first en-
gagged in ranching business with his
brother, G. N. Davis. making sue
cess of that line. Later he was chief
clerk at the United States mint iii
this city under Supt. Garrad. H
was elected recorder of Lyon county
and held that position for four co y
secutive terms. Later he was deputy
| treasurer of State under Treasurer
| Westerfield and in 1898 he became
the private secretary to Governor
Reinhold Sadler, holding that posi-
ton during the remainder of tht
term. When John Sparks was elect
ed Governor, he became secretary {;
him and remained in that position
until his death
| Mr.. Davis was brainy, broad
minded man and recognized as one c
the best read and best posted meI
about the capitol. He was Away
very careful and conscientious abou
his work. and seldom committed al
error. Matters of great import wer'
frequently left to him for decision
and his conclusions were usually ac
cepted as final.

city, and two children. Miss Berth;
of this city, and John Davis, who i
