Regent Frank Willimas arrived i'll
Carson Cit last evening. He leaves
for Reno tomorrow morning to at
tend a meeting OF the Board OF Re-
gents of the State University. Mr..
Williams, who is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Lieuten-
ant-Governor of Nevada, was the
subject of an article i'll the last issue
of the Reno Revelle which stated
that the campaign expenses of Mr..
Williams were being paid by the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
Mr. Williams, while in this city to-
day, made the following statement
regarding the charges OF the Reno
paper:
The charge that my campaign ex-
penses are being paid by Mr.. Blakes-
ley, of the Southern Pacific, is abso-
| lutely false.
Il have been working all summer
| in the Clermont mine and will return
| in time to go on shift next Monday
This ridiculous charge is in line
| with the insinuation that will be
| opposed by the workingmen OF Ne
vada.
L have been engaged in hard man
ual labor from nearly boyhood until
| the present dayI doubt if there is
man of my age in Nevada who has
| done more hard work than | have
done.
! 1T would indeed be painful to fno
myself opposed by my own class.
! have no idea, however, that the rea
workingmen will do anything OF tn
kind. 1t is merely the talk OF fev
radicals who are still objecting to m.
vote Oh the State Police Bill, three
years ago.
''At that time many good citlzen
feared that it was a bad law, and
/ dangerous one, but the course o
events has proven it to be gooe
law, and harmful to no one.

ChaS Goodwin
on Cigarettes

There is an old story of a man who
rode all day in a car on a Georgia
railway, the only other occupant be-
ing lady. There was no smoking
room in the car; it was winter and
too cold to stand outside to smoke,
and SO the poor man suffered all day
for smoke. At about 5 p m the
car stopped for dinner, or supper at
wayside station The meal was
not an attractive one, being mostly
bacon, corn bread beans and black
coffee. Returning to the car, the de-
sire to smoke finally SO overmasted
the man that he approached the kdy
and said: Il beg your pardon mad
am, but would it greatly di5commode
you were | to smoke a cigar:" The
answer was assuring, as follows:
Not a id bit, stranger; | chaw
myself"
When the wires brought news of
the petitions being showered upon
Mrs. Longworth by her sister women
begging her to give up cigarettes,
the first thought was that they all
ought to take railroad journeys in
Georgia in the winter. That obtuse
provincialism of the East makes one
weary.
We wish that Mrs. Longworth had
replied; Il have given up cigarettes,
| smoke nothing but a cob pipe now"
Mrs. Longworth is nothing but
private citizeness now. Whatever
she does that is not unlawful does
not happe nto be any business of her
sister women Under the Constitu
ton Of the United States she has
right to do any legitimate thing.
Under the Declaration of lndepend-
ence she has certain inalienable
rights, among which are life, liberty
and the pursuit OF happiness. Her
father is no longer President; her
husband is not SO conspicuous in
Congress as to cause all eyes to be
turned upon him all the time, and
moreover, she is an American wom-
an and has a right to do anything
within the laws that she pleases to
do.-GOodwin's Weekly.

He has worked steadily and faith
fully from the time he was appointed
shed wa'chman and during the yeer:
SO occupied he has been absent from
duty twice on account of sickness.
During the years that he has walk
ed the sheds at night he has four
different times had the CHASTITY eX-

The duties of shed watchmen are
very responsible, and only very re-
liable employees are entrusted with
ne position. During Silva's thirty
one years of service not once has
the company been able to detect any
inattention to his work.
Failing health and old age have
caused him to realize that he cannot
work any longer at his present oc-
cupation, and consequently he has
made application for a pension.

TO STRIKE.
CHICAGO PAINTERS AND DECO
RATORS MAY 60 OUT. s
Unions Repudiate Agreement Made
by Their Officers, Whom They
Accuse of Bad Faith.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, March 25.-Eight thou
sand painters and decorators in Chicago
are preparing for a strike April 1. whei,
their present agreement with the con-
tractors expires. The local unions af-
filiated with Martin b. Madden's District
Council have repudiated the agreement
which their officers signed with the en-
,ployers, and will join the '.revolutionists''
in the strike for an increase of cents
an hour In wages.
Several months ago three of the larg-
est local unions of painters rebelled
against the dictation OF Madden and with
drew their delegates from the Painters
District Council. An appeal was taken
to the painters International convention
and the rebellious locals were ordered
back. When they refused their char
ters were revoked. The rebels pro-
cured an injunction restraining the other
locals from interfering with them, and
an internal fight has been in progress
two months.
The officers of the unions which re-
manned loyal to Madden and his council
made an agreement with the employers
for two years at the present scale of 90
cents an hour.
When the rank and file of the unions
discovered that they had been bound for
another two years at the old wages they
charged their officers with bad faith,
and they have since gone over to the Sc
ceding faction.

NOT IN THE SAME CLASS
CROSSING POLICEMEN AND
THOSE ON REGULAR FORCE.
Commissioners Opposed to the 0lcott
Bill, Which Proposes to Equalize
Pay and Privileges.

The District Commissioners have re-
ported to Congress adversely on the Oh
colt bill, to place crossing policemen
on the same plane of pay as members
of the regular force.
In giving their reasons, the Commits
sioners say that there is a material diff
ference in the status Of crossing police
men and members of the regular force.
and that the nature of service required
from the two classes is so different "a
to place them in two separate divisions.
Also, the Commissioners say that the
qualifications of a crossing policeman and
q regular policeman are vastly different.
The regular police. says the report to
Congress, are subject to sterner disci-
pline, more dangerous duty. are exposed
to harder vicissitudes. and have about
thirty-six. hours of active and reserve
duty in every forty-eight hours. Also.
they must pass a much more rigid physi-
cal and mental examination, say the
Commissioners. This latter point has a
vital bearing on the matter Of the police
relief fund. The Commissioners say
tersely that to the benefits of TINS fund
the crossing policemen should have no
access.
The Olcott bill contemplated fixing the
salaries of crossing policemen at the
same rate as those paid to regular po-
licemen, and allowing sick leaves and
leaves of absence The street railr Dad
companies pay the salaries of the cross
ing policemen, which amount to some
thing like $3.50 g. day each.
To bring the salaries of the cross
ing policemen up to the plane of the
regular policemen would cost the rail-
road companies at present $500 q year

DES MONIES LOSES FIGHT FOR
LOWER FREIGHT RATES.
Commission Declares the Whole
Field Has to Be Taken Into
Consideration.

The city of Des Moines, Iowa, yesterday
| lost its fight for readjustment of freight
rates from that city to points in western
Minnesota and North and South Dakota
wheE the interstate commerce commission
announced it's decision on the complaint
of the greater Des Moines committee.
The committee contended that because
Des Moines was nearer to the territory
in question than Chicago, st. Louis,
Dubuque, Davenport, Clinton. Muscatins
AMI Burlington, it was entitled to an ad-
vantage in rates. Complaint was made
of twenty-five tariffs of railroads ira
versing the territory.
This commission, says the opinion
announced today by Commissioner Cock
reIl, lin passing upon SO important
matter is bound to consider the whole
field when such a general rate adjust
ment is undertaken as is sought to De
made by the complainant, and must care
fully consider what would probably be
the effect upon other points not involved
in the specific complaint under consid-
Grafton.
Upon full consideration continues
the opinion, '-our conclusions are that
the complaint has not been sustained.
and that there have not been shown facts
sufficient to justify this commission In
ordering a change i'm the present rate
adjustment and in attempting to estab-
lish q new rate adjustment which would
be in consonance with the basis sought
by the complainant"

finding on the ground that the commit
tee had made out a case and because
