To Sead Letters Over the Wire.


The Geripan postal authorities are
perfecting plans for an innovation of
inestimable value to the business world,
by which letters virtually can be sent
by telegraph at a cost far below ordi-
nary telegraph rates. Any person de-
string to communicate with another in
any part of Germany has only to hand
in his message. 1t will be transmitted
during the night and delivered by letter
carrier on the first regular delivery on
the morning following.
The object is to provide cheap and
fairly rapid means of communication in
those cases where instant delivery is I'M
necessary on where messages are too
long to justify the expense of ordinary
kilograms. The rate for the service has
not yet been fixed, but the intention is
to make it 50 much less than the present
rate of one and one-fourth cents q word
that it will invite large use.

Party Pled9e Violated

Senator Fistcwtof Fhnsas says: 1.-THE

is sham and q violation of party
pledges. 1t is New, England measure,
under which: that section Of the United
States will levy additional tribute Of

the country.
1--WE went before the people ef-this
country and told them that if they en-
trusted us again with the administration
of their national affairs we would
honestly and thoroughly, revise the
tariff. This bill not only fails to carry
out that. pledge but violates; it. 1t
doesn't keep proper faith with thp
promises of our platform or the declara;
tions of our candidate" !
Senator Brestow is republican. He
stood for the people against the Aldrich-
Cannon-Taft revision of the tariff. His
position was in strong contrast to that
of Senator Nixon who supported AL
drich in all of his .theiving propositions.
The people of Nevada should not forget
Senator'S. Nixon's record on the tariff

1t is said here among the seamen of

went aground on the rocks off Point

1t is also said that Captain Robinson

Bordering on Mutiny
The trouble among the men is said
by the crew of the destroyer Paul
Jones, which has just arrived from the
south, to have reached a stage border
ing upon open mutiny. 1t is said that
the difficulty assumed such a serious
phase that the officers of the wrecked
steamship sent a message to Rear Ad-

and the Paul Jones, with Admiral
Swinburne aboard, made the trip to
the wreck, which seemed to have a
effect upon the crew of the

Admiral Swinburne's departure for the
north. Since then an effort has been
made to keep the whole affair a secret.

MINERS CORRAL
BIG LAND GRAB
ENTER PROTEST AGAINST THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Company Advertises in Obscure Coun-
try Newspaper. but Game Is
BIocked-Petition Goes
to Washington

Grab "a, 900 acres of land, advertise in
the Needles Eye, then listen to the peo-
pie YELL The Eye got blacked and the
Southern Pacific ran into an open
switch at the chamber of mines yester-
day, when 100 mining men met in
redhot word contest and entered a
blistering protest against the grab on
the ground that it comprises mineral
land and can therefore not be grabbed
legally.
The "a, 900 acres are located along the
right of way of the Southern Pacific
between Needles and Mojave. The
railroad, it is said, has attempted TO
get possession of the land, advertising
its application for patent. This COM
pany inserted the advertisement to that
effect in the Needles Eye, weekly or
gan of small circulation, believing, 1t
is said, that the advertisement would
fail to attract the attention of persons
wary enough to detect the alleged
fraud.
The lands in question lie twenty feet
outside the right of way and extend in
that width pretty much the distance
between Needles and MojaVe.
Applies for Patent
In the advertisement it is stated that
the railroad had applied for patent and
that the lands were open to public in
spection and that any protest on
ground that the lands were more Valu-
able for mineral purposes should be
entered within sixty days.
The protest has come-come in
whole Volley-from provoked mining
men who are out for Southern Pacific
scalps, dead or alive.
Among the speakers at yesterdays
war dance at the chamber of mines
were Senator Willis, C. S. Wilson of
Hollywood and Theodore Martin, part
owner of the Needles Eye.
Martin made apologies for the ad-
vertisement which was inserted in his
paper. He said he accepted it in good
faith, not knowing it was an alleged
scheme to defraud the people.
petition comprising some 1000
words was drawn up and will be sent
to the secretary of the interior, Wash
ington The first article says that un>
doubtedly a great part of the land in
the particular district covered by the
advertisement is mineral, If not entire
ly mineralized.
Another article reads:
"That we firmly believe it to be to
the interest of the government and
respectfully ask that the government
on it's own behalf make an Independent
investigation of the lands in order to
determine their mineral value, or, fur
ther, to determine whether or not they
are more valuable for mineral than for
agricultural purposes"

PAYING TELLER ARRESTED
AFTER C0NFESSING CRIME
BY Accident Cashier Discovers Pecu-

Has AccompIice

OAKLAND, April 2S.-Earl e. Bo-
gardas, paying teller of the Bank of
Germany, was arrested this morning
and charged by the bank with having
embezzled $3000 -. This amount is set as
the first, as 1t has not yet been de-
termined to what extent his peculations
have gone, but it is believed they will
reach a high figure.
1t is purely accidental that this dis
crepancy in the teller's books was dis
covered. The cashier, in glancing over
them the other day, observed the diff
ference in various amounts to 800 and
5000 here and $50 and SIS there. One
ledger in particular was audited and
the peculations amounting to more
than $4,000, the officials of the bank
notified the police. Bogardas, who is
married and lives with his family in
Berkeley, has been connected with the
bank for some time and has always
been trusted. He was man of steady
habits.
Late this afternoon Col. Theodore
Gier, an officer of the bank, after hear
ing a confession by Bogardas, told the
police he believed the man was trying
to shield some other person in the
