LITTLE ITALY, ALREADY
IN CONGESTED CONDITION
socialist Member of Parliament Re-
ceives Chilly Reception-Mrs.
Brown Potter Visits
Metropolis

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-What to 10
with the hordes of incoming survivors
Of the recent earthquake is a serious
problem which the municipal author
tiles of Gotham town will soon be
called upon to settle. New York wants
To give these sons and daughters of
Italy just as warm welcome as she
does to newcomers from other climes,
in fact, because of their bereavement
they will receive little more eonsid
eration; but the Manhattan authori-
ties are hoping that the attractions cf
country life will prove a greater lure
than the crowded tenements of this big
city by the Hudson. How TO encourage
them to be satisfied with merely taking
in the sights of the metropolis for a
few weeks, getting acquainted with the
residents of Little Italy, and then
begin general movement elsewhere,
it matters not so long as they don t
tarry permanently, is the problem in
nutshell.
The fact is, Little Italy" is al
ready much overerowded. To add
10000 or 10000 to its population,
which is now estimated at more than
800 900 souls, or more than many so
called big American cities. Ten years
ago, according TO the United States
census, there were living in New York
city 21s,9ls Italian born persons, al
most as many as there were residents
Of all nationaiities residing in the ma
tiona capital at the same time This
influx of Italians into New York has
continued steadily during ten years
until today witnesses the sight Of these
swarthy ''modern Romans, as they
are sometimes facetiously called
crowded iEto district ii lower Mas
haitian that was never intended to give
homes to onetenth the present mum
ber. Do you wonder, then, that those
intrusted with the municipal up keep
of this big burg sat up and rubbed
their eyes when the mayor and his
counsellors of Little Italy, sent that
cable message to the survivors at Mes
sina, Catania and Reggie to ''leave
that stricken land and come make your
homes with us here Sentimentally
that cable was nothing more than a
sweet, soothing message from a well
brother to an i'll brother, but munich
pally (and that is all that New York
cares about just now its significance
was entirely different Now if those
same 10000 or 10000 sons and daugh
ters of Italy, not counting those ar
rved since the earthquake, accept that
invitation to ''come and make your
homes with us here, il will plainly
mean that this municipality will have
to shoulder the burden of so many
more public charges Remember, good
folks in less crowded communities
THESE same subjects of King Victor
Emanuel We're bereft. in the recent
cataelysm, Of their worldly goods and
ehattels, as well as their relatives and

Without intending to give your
italian immigrant bad name, it might
ruthfully be said that he is not dosir-
aoie from the standpoint of American
ideals As we see him in this busy
metropolis, he is not a sanitary person,
hot being used to the luxury of the
oath IN his native heath and cares not
whether his home circle musters ny

glish person, by adoption, of course,
who doesn't like us any more. She is
here to reeite for our edification Lit

appreciate artistic merit
Mrs. Brown Potter, who is really a
gifted person, also is going to look in
on the "400' before she departs.
Now, the s'400' doesn t hold anything
against Mrs. Brown Potter, particular
ly as her sweet little daughter, who
was Fif Potter, is now Mrs.
Jimmie Stillman, and Papa Still
man, who has just resigned the Gus
todianship of the National City (Stand-

STATESMAN CARPENTER
COMES TO THE RESCUE
District Attorney Singled Out From
the Underpaid County Oficials-to
Be Raised from $500 to $4,000

Especial to the Silver State News)
CARSON CITY, Jan. 3O.-Both
branches of the legislature adjourned
yesterday until Monday at IL O'Clock.
Many bills were introduced during
the week, but the one of paramount
interest to the taxpayers of Humboldt
county was no doubt the one intro
duced by Senator Carpenter, which
proposes to increase the salary Of the
district attorney of Humboldt county
from $500 per year to $4,000 and trav-
cling expenses.
To the ordinary citizen of your coun-
ty, just why this office should be sin
gled out for an increase win no doubt
be considerable of mystery. But to
tic initiated is an open book. At
the next election Humboldt county will
elect a judge to preside over the dis
trict court comprised of your county
The present incumbent of the district
attorney Is Office is slated for the Dem
ocratic nomination, while Representa-
tive Brandon will be named for attor-
ney. In the light of these facts, con-
siderable of the mystery is dispelled.
There is no doubt but what all the
county officers of Humboldt are under
paid. The sheriff receives but $2400,
the auditor $4,000 and the clerk $500.
The duties of the district attorney are
trivial compared with thosee of the
three officers named, and the proposed
measure should be defeated. But it
is safe to say that it will not be.

TO CONSERVE ALL
CONTINENTAL RESOURCES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Arrange-
ments for the North American Conser-
walton conference between representa-
tives of the United States. Canada and
Mexico, at the White House. February
ls, are going forward rapidly, follow
ing the cordial acceptance by Sir viii
fred Laurier, premier, and Earl Grew
governor general of Canada. and Pres
ident Diaz of Mexico, of President
Roosevelt's invitation to send dele
gates. The conference will discuss the
situation with regard to the natural
resources of the respective countries
and help prepare a general plan adapt
ed to promote the welfare of the ma
tions concerned in accordance with
President Roosevelt's IS suggestion.
This international conference will
meet at the White House by President
Roosevelt's S invitation. 1t will NOT ho
large gathering as was the confer
ence of governors at the White House
last May. or the joint conservation con
ference last December between the
National Conservation commission, the
governors and the representatives of
state conservation commissions and
conservation committees of national
organizations. The attendance will be
limited to the representatives of Can
ada and Mexico and representatives Of
the state department of the United
States government and of other execu-
tive departments which can render
particular assistance to the conferees
in their deliberations, and the National
Conservation commission.
Canada has already taken active
steps in preparation for the conference
and recently sent to the National Con
servation commission number of
carefully prepared maps which show
the present status of the public lands
OF the Dominion as well as the distri-
button OF the principal natural re-
sources and the development of it's
transportation systems. The Canadian
authorities have also gathered together
and sent to the chairman of the com
mission comprehensive collection of
government documents bearing on the
natural resources of the country. These
have been carefully indexed and bound
together according to subjects. They

ference.
President Roosevelt feels that the
connection between the United States
and the two nations which lie to the
north and south is so intimate that
they can consider their mutual inter
ests with regard to natural resources
from the standpoint of the general wei
fare of the continent with small regard
to the political boundary lines which
separate them. Indeed, it is said that
he considered inviting Canada and
Mexico to the first conservation con
ference at the White House. but that
he refrained from doing so because he
was unwilling to run the remotest risk
OF asking these two nations to assovi-
ate themselves with the conservation
movement before it was certain that it
was going to succeed Now that sue
cess is assured, he feels that since the
two nations have identical interests
and identical aspirations they can
work together along conservation lines
just as the representatives of the
states work together without regard to
state boundaries
