SENATOR NEWLANDS ELECTION

The senate and assembly voted separ-
ately yesterday for United States Sen
ator and Senator Newlands received
every vote. The result is in accordance
with the wishes of the people as ex.
pressed at the ballot-box last Noyem-
Der. j. 2 II EIrG "
The unanimous election of United
States senator by a state legislature is a
wide, departure from the general rule in
Amerfcal politics. Usuallysthe cleo
tion Of u senator is accomplished by
political bosses without any regard to
the wishes of the people. But not so in
the election; of Senator Newlands The
people of Nevada by a decisive vote
last November chose Senator Newlands
to succeed himself in the United States
senate and the Legislators by their votes
carried out the wishes of the people.
This simple method of the election of
United States senator is in strong con-
trast with the methods employed by
Stewart and Jones when they ruled
Nevada politics. Intrigue and the cor
rupt use Of money were the means they
employed to win success. If defeated
by the people, weak Legislators were
bought by the gold of corporations.
Nevada has honored itself by the
unanimous election of Francis G. New
lands to the United States senate. 1t
has also given strong impetus to the
movement for electing United States
senators by the people. No longer can
the finger of shame be pointed at her
for selling her seats in the senate of the
United States to the highest bidder.

SNOW MAN TLE LIES OVER ENTIRE
 ARIZONA
Report From Big Bug Mesa Tells Of
 Foot Fall
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Sundays storm was general all over northern Arizona. From Phoenix to the the Grand Canyon the beautiful '' covered the valleys and mountains, va rying in depth from two inches in the capital city to three and a half feet on the crests of the towering Brad shaws.
 Heavy snowfalls are reported from Flagstaff and Williams. It varied in depth from six inches at Ash Fork to foot and half on the divide between Copper Basin and Thumb Butte dls- tricts along the s. F., P. & P. railroad. A telephone message from Poland yes terday evening stated that the snow on the Big Bug mesa was three feet in depth and another message from Maxton stated that the fall there was between two and three feet.
 Walker adviees are that the fall was heavy in the mountains of that dis trict. Sixteen inches of snow was re-  ported on the Groom Creek foothills yesterday afternoon and parties ar irving from Phoenix stated that the fall was general all the way along the line into the Salt River valley.
 Over three feet is reported in the Crown King neighborhood and the fall at the different mining camps in the Bradshaw mountains reported greater according to elevation.
 Jerome reports a fall of six inches, which changed to sleet and rain in the lower districts of the Verde valley. It is feared that the fruits of the yer de valley, Clear, Oak and Beaver Creeks will be damaged by the storm as fruit trees are reported in bloom in these communities.

ARREST NEGRO FUR FORGOTTEN TODD
 SHOOTING
Sylvester Vaughn Once Released Gathered In
 At Phoenix
From Tuesdays Dailyl

Charged with being wanted for the shooting of Station Agent Todd at Jerome Junction last July, Sylvester Vaughn, a negro, was arrested in Phoenix Sunday. Vaughn was reeog- nized on the streets by a former depu- ty sheriff of this county, who reported his presence in the city to the Phoenix officers. He is being held in the eOun- ty jail awaiting instructions from the authorities of this county.
 Inquiry at the sheriff's s office yester- day failed to reveal any warrant there for Vaughn s arrest. He will probably be released by the Phoenix officers to- day.
 There were no eye witnesses to the quarrel between Vaughn and Todd that led to the shooting. Todd was only slightly injured.
 Vaughn, who was porter on a pri- vate ear at the time, was arrested af- ter the shooting. He was arraigned before a justice of the peace. Todd failed to appear as a witness against him. Vaughn's release followed on promise that he leave the territory.
 His arrest followed his recent ap- pearanee in Phoenix.
