SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S.-Al-
though twenty-three of the fifty
seven county school superinten-
dents in California are women, the
new direct primary law prohibits
any woman from running for Of
flee and unless amended, will re-
suit in passing this branch of pub
lie education into the hands of
masculine instructors, according to
the annual message of President
Morris Cox of the California
Teachers association. Cox pointed
out the fact that the direct primary
law requires that every candidate
for office shall make affidavit that
he is a registered voter before his
name will be permitted to go on
the ballots, and said that inasmuch
as the women are not voters they
cannot comply with the require
ments of the law.
Itinerant teachers came in for
hard words from Cox when he

THE COLDEST WINTER
KNOWN IN YEARS

The fact that there has been
more or less snow on the ground
since the first storm early in the
month of November suggests that
the Indians in this neck of the
woods predicted last fall that the
present winter would be the coolest
known in Nevada in some years.
They based this prediction, as an
old Shoshone put it, on the fact
that the pine nuts had she'll

MET OLD PLAYMATE
AFTER FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS

That the world is small place
after all, was demonstrated on the
streets of Tonopah yesterday when
Chris Malatesta met for the first
time in ffty-seven years John Tro-
yario, whom he had last seen as
a boyhood playmate in Genoa, It
ally, in 1853.
Chris and John, on the last day
they saw each other in Italy, were
fishing for eels in a little creek
that ran behind the old parish
church in Genoa. Chris was catch
ing more eels than John, and this
made the latter hostile, so he re-
venged himself by hitting Chris in
the head with rock. This ended
the friendship for the time being,
las well as the acquaintance.
Both friendship and acquaintance
were renewed yesterday when the
lboyhood playmates met after a
separation longer than the usual
span of life, and they pledged re-
newed friendship in glass.
Trovarios is miner, and is en-
ployed in the Silver Bow district
AS for Chris, why say anything
about Chris?

zELAYA SAYS
HE IS Still BOSS
OF NICARAGUA
BY Associated Press

CORDOBA, Mexico, Dec. 2S.-
President Zelaya. declared tonight
he is still president of Nicaragua
although he may never go back
to that country to enjoy the privi-
leges of the office. Madriz, he
asserted, was only provisional
president and that he (Zelaya) has
not relinquished the office.
In support of his declaration, Ze-
laya exhibited papers attached to
which were government seals and
ribbons, which he said contained
proof of the truth of his state
ment.
The reports concerning his
wealth, Zelaya said, we're exagger-
ated. His fortune is not more than
$2,000,000 in gold and is invested
mostly in Nicaraguan bonds. He
claimed that he had advanced $780,.
600, paid on the Emery claim, as
personal loan out of his own funds,
there being no money in the gov
ernment treasury. Zelaya denied
he had wrongly obtained any part
of his fortune through concessions
of which he had the disposal. He
declared he was rendered a vote
of thanks for the services rendered
his country before he left home.

FRANK GOLDEN
HAS n NARROW ESCAPE
WITH HIS LIFE
President of Defunct Bank Called to
AnslUer by Former Deposition.

For a second time yesterday af-
ternoon appearances indicated that
Frank Golden, former president ,ef
the defunct Nye and Ormsby Coun-
ty bank, would journey to the hap
py hunting ground without being
afforded the privilege of making
his last adieu to the depositors in
the bank, now waiting for the
promised dollar for dollar.
Golden arrived from the north
ern part of the state yesterday, and
during the course of his travels in
the afternoon, wandered into the
Tonopah> Liquor companys place OF
business. While conversing in
front of the bar, former county
treasurer, r. F. Gilbert, and his
sixteenyear-old son, Charles, enter
ed. Gilbert walked up to Golden
and demanded that the boy, who
had quite a sum of money on de-
posit in the bank ab the time il
suspended business, be paid his
earnings. This Golden refused tc
do, and then Gilbert drew a re-
volver. Dave Holland, who was
standing nearby, grappled with Gil
bert, and at the same time yell
ing for help, secured the weapon
In the meantime, Golden left the
building, somewhat hastily.

Gilbert for his act. No arrests
were made, and at the present
writing no complaint has been filed
against either party to the contro-
versy. The alteration was the
sensation of the hour, and created
no little excitement on the streets,
and was almost the sole topic of
conversation last evening. The

with Bob Gilbert from start to
