0'MALLEY EXPLAINS ACTION
Says Evidence Demands Thor
Ough -Skene for It.

Albany, June 24.-Attorney General
| O'Malley to-day gave out a statement in
regard TO his application 70 Governor
Hughes to convene an extraordinary ses-
sion Of the Supreme Court IN this city on
July IS. to take up charges alleging irreg-
ularities in letting good road contracts in
the administration Of Frederick Skene, as
State Engineer and Surveyor, in 1907 and
1908 The statement follows:
Some time ago charges were fled with
this office, calling my attention officially
to what purported to be irregularities and
wrongdoing in the letting OF contracts for
good roads by the State Engineer and Sur
veyor's Department during the years 1897
and 1908. Immediately upon having NV
attention called to the matter, an inSesti.
cation was begun. 1t was necessarily a
slow process and occupied considerable
tine After securing, all the information
possible without the aid Of court process 1
came 10 the conclusion that the evidence
adGuced was OF such a character as TO de-
nand thorough investigation by d grand
jury.
therefore made application yesterday TO
the Governor for the conyening Of an ex-

fore gathered and which may be found BY
further Investigation Will be placed before
the grand jury Of this county. This inves-
tigatlon VIII probably cover various pcr-
ticns Of the state. and, because OF its gen
eral appllcation. concluded IL was a
handle instead OF the various district an
torneys- II would be improper for me TO
say anything at this time as to the nature
Of the evidence.
When Frederick Skene was seen last
evening at his home, No. 81 Stevens street.
Astoria. Long Island City, he declined 10
discuss in detail the charges which have
been made public In Albany, and which II
Is said are 10 be made the subject OF an
investigation by special grand jury N
that county. Beyond the articles published
IN the daily papers, Mr.. Skene said he had
not received any notification, official or
otherwise. that such an investigation was
to be made
However" he said the Investigation az

nixon ON THE DEFENSIVE

Addresses by Senator Nixon and
others of the republican state
candidates at the meeting in Cold
field Thursday night showed very
plainly that Senator Nixon is on
the defensive, and that instead of
being able to pont with just pride
to his record, he must put in the
campaign apologizing for and ex-
planning that record.
Senator Nixon in his Goldfield
address failed miserably and fatty
to give the voters of the state an
answer to the questions that have
been propounded to him by The
Go}dfield News and other demo-
cratic papers of the state. Referr-
ing to his record of 1913 votes for
the Aldrich tariff bill, the senator
weakly asks what else there was
for him to do. AS to the inquitous
saline lands bill, the senator says
it was to relieve existing mis-
understandings of the method of
filing upon saline lands under the
present laws" AS to the owner
ship of HIMSELF by the railroads, he
is miserably and pitifully silent.
George S. Nixon, occupying the
highest position possible for the
State of Nevada to give any man,
in his address failed to awaken a
shred of enthusiasm but was
forced to face an audience coldly
critical. irresponsible and unsym-
pathetic-an audience of republic
can voterl that in its very silence
loudly predicted the verdi It of
November, in which Nixon will
be charged with and convicted of
betrayal of the people who placed
him in Office. Nixon felt it, and
last night he knew The end had
come for George S. Nixon,
politically. He damned himeslf in
his own speech. And each candi-
date dropped flower upon his
grave. -Goldfeld News.

AVERAGE LIFE INCREASING

The two oldest people in the
world are said to be Frau Dutkie-
WITT OF Posen. Germany, who was
born Feb. l, 1855, and Mrs. Bahia
Vasilka of Bulgaria who saw the
light in May, 1884, less than two
years after the independence of
the United States was recognized
by Great Britain. 1t is we'll
known that there are recorded
instances of greater longevity,
notably that of Thomas Parr who
died in 1886 at the reputed age
of 1852 years. But in his case and
that of some others the evidence is
not altogether reliable, being
founded mostly on tradition.
But in the cases of Frau Dutkiewitz
and Mrs. Vasilka there is said to
be trustworthy documentary
evidence. All this is interesting
as sho wing the extrem length of
life one may possibly reach. But
what is more to The point and of
greater value is the fact that
through greater medical science,
more wholesome living and better
sanitation the average length of
human life is steadily increasing.
1t is interesting to note that about
one person in an age lives to be
l26 years old, but it is of greater
value to know that within the last
century several. years have been
added to the average life of man.

REPUBLICAN 0FFICEHOLOERs

Creating nearly 1000 permanent
republican officeholders at zone
strike f the pen'' is the late. I
political accomplishment of Presi-
dent Taft. He has issued an order
placing all the assistant post
masters under the civil service law.
Whether these republican partisan
officials can be made to attend
strictly to business. iEste-.d f
pulling wires 10 nominate and elect
those who made them will be the
burning question. Civil service
reform must be fairly administered
or we want none of it. 1t is a
serious question to settle whether
standing army of partisan office
holders is the best condition for a
democratic republic 1t will be
well for democrats to keep their
eyes on these assistant postmasters
SO that those who interfere in
behalf of the republican organi-
cation can be removed when the
democrats get into power. Evey
citizen has the right to aspire to an
appointive as we'll as an elective
office, ard the appropriation of
most of the appointive Offices by
the republicans is not true civil
service reform, and is not binding
upon the democrats.

WHITE RAINBOW A RARITY

What is known as white rain
bow is an extremely rare pheno-
menon. 1t was observed at the
Montouris observatory at Paris by
M. Louis Besson. 1t was an almost
colorless bow and was seen at 2:lO
p. M, dying out and then reap
pearing at 3:15, reaching a maxi
mum brightness at 1926, then dis
appearing five minutes later. The
bow had about three degrees width
and was not a pure white but
somewhat tiDged with rose color
at the outer edge and violet at the
inner. The angular height of the
summit was 40 degrees 8 minutes
on the average. There have been
often observed in the mountains
of the polar regions white bows
upon fogs or clouds composed Of
liquid drops.
The explanation of this
pnenemenon, known as the "Ulloa
