W. C. DOUGLAS is A
GENUINE STATE BUILDER

Consolidated New York, all Com
stock producers. He is also the
largest stockholder in the Com
stock Mohawk, property now in
operation.
His especial pride and his most
important venture in the line of
private business is an illustration
of what may be accomplished in
this state in the way of reclama-
tion. He is bringing under culti-
vation a tract of 2200 acres of very
rich lands. He is raising hogs,
cattle and horses and has hun
dreds of acres of fine hay and
grain on ground that few years
ago was desert waste. He secures
the water for his purpose from the
Washoe lake, pumping to height
of go feet, from which elevation he
is able to water 600 acres. He is
now putting in an electric pump
ing plant of $50 horse power,
which will enable him to lift the
waters Of lake Washoe to a height
of 10 feet and reclaim his entire
tract of 2200 acres. Last year he
marketed $50 head lof fiat 'Poland
ChInas, and he is going in for hog
raising on large scale.
His interest in ranching and his
knowledge in that line has made
Mr.. Douglass one of the most val
liable mem bsrs of the State Prison
Board. This Board Jas is known,
has purchased 100 acre prison
site and will erect a new prison
building and lay out farm on
which it is figured that the con-
victs will be able to prodnce
enough to make the Nevada State
prison self supporting. He is in
touch with the plans and work 50
far carried out and his reelection
to the Office of Secretary Of State
for the sole purpose of carrying out
his present ideas regarding Neva-
da's prison farm, is of sufficient
Importance to the voters of the
state to warrant THAR support of
him for this reason alone.

WOULD Build
HIGHWAY
FOR ALPINE COUNTY
johnson Promises to Work for
Completion Of Road-.ShOuId
Get Solid Alpine Vote.

Should Hiram johnson be elect
ed Governor of California, Alpine
county will be greatly benefited,
iliasmuch as il means that the
state highway will be extended
and completed through that county.
al A San Francisco gentlemen re-
Gently visited Alpine, making tie
trip by auto. While there he
found that the people were very
anxious to have the highway com
pleted through their county as was
originally intended. He became
interested in the rights of this lit
tie county that is practically iso-
lated from the rest of California,
and upon returning to San Fran
cisco sought an interview with the
Insureent candidate for governor.
johnson Immediately became in
terested because he already knew
that it was the Southern Pacific
that blocked the completion of this
road four years ago when they
fought and defeated the appropria-
tion in the legislature. Johnson
has promised, in the event of his
election, he will do everything
in his power to further an
appropriation for the completion
of the Alpine highway.
The proposed highway begins al
Meyers station in Lake Valley,
following the old emigrant trail to
Woodfords, thence To Markleeville
and on over the range TO Little
Antelope Valley in Mono county.
Such a highway would give the
people OF California easy aecess to
the grandest scenic wonders OF
that state. Alpine is the gem OF
the Serras and offers many
pleasures to the tourist and lover
OF mountain life.
The voters of Alpine county
should cast solid vote for Hiram
johnson.

more votes than their democratic
adversaries.
His administration of the office
has beer conspicuous for efficiency.
Among lne things that his friend
point To with especial pride is the
state library, which has been built
up through the incessant enthusi-
asm Of Secretary Douglass. 1t is
the finest law library on the Pa
cific coast, containing many vol
umes of foreign decisions that can
not be found in any other library
in the west. Thirty-fv thousand
volumes have been catalogued un-
der the Dewey system. Besides
the law library. there is a collect
ion of miscellaneous books of
many thousand volumes.
Since Mr.. Douglass took the
office, more than $350,000 has been
collected in fees all Of which was
turned into the state treasury.
He is largely interested in Com
stock mines. He is connected

GERMANY ADVERSE TO

No Obstacles Exist, However, to
Final Agreement.

BERLIN Jan. 26.-The reply of the
Foreign Office to the request of the
United States hat the application OF
Germany's general tariff to American
imports be deferred until March 81 Is
understood to be a non-acceptance OF
the suggestion for delay.
The reply, which will be dispatched
to Washington Immediately, will, how
ever represent that the German gov
eminent feels that no obstacles to a
complete agreement exist that cannot
be overcome by February Z, the date
upon which the general schedules
would apply automatically. Germany
holds that the points at issue AVE been
considered sufficiently to enable both
sides to reach a decision at this time.

scribed as being most friendly, points
out how highly desirable it is from the

burial the body of Samuel Warrelman,
formerly a sailor on the United States
dispatch boat Dolphin, who died a week

A l.egress, who claims to be the
widow OF the sailor, refused to permit
Blake to remove the body, saying that
her husband. q white man, was not
dead. but in a trance. She demanded
that Warrelman's body be taken to a
hospital and there bathed twice a day
for a yea in a mystic solution that
she described. She said that at the
end OF that time her husbands life
would be restored.
Appeal vas made to the police by

licemen went to the house with Blake
yesterday afternoon. The body was
taken to the undertaking establishment

SAID NOT TO
BE PARK SLAYER OF BOYS.
New York Police Insist He Is.
Mother DeniesIt.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-When Herber,
Jerome Dennison was arraigned In DO
ice court today charged with the muir
der of the two little boys, Robert Tomas
and Arthur Shibley, in High Bridge
Park, Inspector McCafferty, of the De-
tective Bureau, told the magistrate thai
he had evidence to indicate that Den
nison, who has been in several insane
asylums in the last twelve years, was
also the man who had shot John Fred
ericks four times in the back on the
Park avenue bridge over the Harlem
river.
The aged mother and aunt of the
prisoner were in court to testify that
Dennison could not have been the
slayer of the Tomas and Shibley bows
or the assailant of Fredericks. There is
a dispute as to- when Dennison had
his beard shaved off. The police say
that it was Immediately after the boys
were shot. The barber is uncertain, and
the mother. who admits that she took
Dennison to the barber shop, insists
that it was several hours before the
shooting occurred.
Mrs. Dennison and her sister also in
sist that Dennison has not had a pistol
in manyyears, and that he never owned
such a weapon as was found near the
scene of the High Bridge Park tragedy
The police say the weapon is Identical
to one used by Dennison as q stage
magician.

GRAND JURY To
PROBE DEEPER INTO
ASYLUM AFFAIRS
Summon More Witnesses After
Hearing Stories of Hos
pital Employees.

That the grand jury probe into the
pital for the Insane under DR.. Daniei
M. Dill has not beer concluded was
made evident late yesterday afternoon
when Its members asked Prosecutor
Wilbur a. Mott to produce some more
witnesses. This that official agreed to
do, and it was decided that they
should be heard some time next week
probably on Tuesday, as the pressure
of current crimina business is great
1t is understood that the testimony
of the five employees heard yester-
day developed some startling facts
regarding the running of the institu-
tion, although from the very fact that
the witnesses are employees 1t was
like pulling teeth to get any ad-
missions out of them. While some Of
them denied that they had n
knowledge of mismanagement others
admitted, under sharp questioning by
the prosecutor, that matters were no
what they should be, and that at
times there was a notorious lack Of
discipline.
Robert Edwards, who was the night
Waterman at the old asylum in South
Orange avenue, where the skeleton was
found. vas called upon to tell what he
knew from reference to his famous
BLACK hook" in which he made records
of attendants who returned late at
night visibly under the influence of
liquor. He was also questioned closely
about the fire Of last June. and is said
10 have given evidence that is most
damaging.
Edward w. Conner, the supervisor of
male nurses. was also questioned as to
the habits of certain of the employees,
but, II Is understood. denied that there
was any drunkenness, and pointed out
where attendants and other employees
were dismissed for violating rules.
The three other witnesses, George
Rockwell, druggist at the old institu-
tion and now employed in the new;
John Fitzgerald, assistant engineer at
the asylum, and Mrs. Alice Church,
seamstress, claimed hat they knew
nothing about any mismanagement, and
said that all they did was to attend to
their duties.
MI. Mott refused to say today who Is.
to be called next, but it Is likely that
Mrs. Francesca Hinkel, whose story
Of alleged brutal treatment of patients
has been repeatedly told, and Miss
Grace Brush, whom she accuses, will
be before the grand inquest.

LEAVING THEATRE WITH
:. WIFE, HE TAKES POISON

TRENTON, Jan. 26.-After making.
a threat to drink a bottle of laudanum
while he was on his way to a moving
picture theatre with his wife, Harry
c. Sandhoff, a young man living at $40
Adeline street, last night took the
poison after he had left the play
house and fell Unconscious on the
street. The young man had carried the
drug all day in his pocket with the
intention of ending his life, and
seemed anxious to do SO while he was
with his wife.
Sandhoff had a narrow escape from
dying on the street while his wife a
running around looking for assistance.
1t was only the prompt arrival of two
physicians and the use of a stomach
pump that saved him from making
good his attempt. Sahdhoff is now IL
patient at st. Francis Hospital. where
the physicians say that he will prob
ably ecover.
