TWO MILLIONS
THREATENED BY
STARVATION

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL Unless
relieved, two million people in China
will die of starvation. This is a
calamity predicted by American Con-
sui General Wilder at Shanghai in
a eablegram received yesterday by
the American National Red Cross
society.
The consul general appeals for
quick assistance for the suffering
people and says that half million
dollars is needed Immediately. There
will be no crops until the end of
May and the Chinese government
relief is inadequate, he adds.
Mr., Wilder says the scenes in
the famine districts are horrible.
Children are being given away by
the afflicted people Dead lie by
the roadside and the misery of the
sufferers is being increased by Sc
we're snow and cold.
The famine area stretches ove1
a territory three thousand by one
hundred and fifty miles. The Rec
Cross yesterday cabled to China
$4,000 contributed by John D
Rockefeller.

eHALF MILLION
SHIPMENT OF
BULLION BARS
RECORD SHIPMENT OF BULLION
FROM THE BIG PRODUCER
AT GOLDFIELD.

The largest shipment of bullion
ever sent out of Goldfeld was
shipped by the Goldfeld Consolid-
ated Mines company yesterday morn
ing to the Selby Smelling works
at San Francisco, the consignment
being valued at $426,000, and con-
veyed under double guard by the
Wells-Fargo Express company, says
the Goldfield Tribune.
There were nineteen bars in the
shipment, having a total weight of
1850 ounces avoirdupois, or about
1880 pounds. The bullion was 800
fine, or worth about SIS per ounce.
A singular coincidence arises in
connection with this record-break-
ing shipment of bullion by the fact
that it was made on the fourth
anniversary of the settlement fol
the richest car of gold ore ever
produced in the history of mining
that being a carload of forty-eight
tons from the Hayes-Monnette lease
on the Mohawk, for which the Selby
company drew a check for 1914,
95S.39, or $12,241.25 per ton.

loar is a single man, with no rela-
tives in this section of the country.

WATER-USERS IN
WESTERN STATES

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 11.-Water-
users in western states are interest
ed in the action of the legislature of
the state of Washington with refer
ence to the water right code, pre-
pared by a commission named by
Governor Hay. The measure is de-
signed to settle numerous important
questions, to avoid interminable lit
igation and to protect the public as
well as the holders and the users
of water.
A draft of the code, received by
Arthur Hooker, secretary of the
National Irrigation Congress, which
will have it's nineteenth annual ses-
sions in Chicago, December to 8,
shows that it is purposed to create
offices for a state hydraulic engineer
and two superintendent, the former
receiving a salary of $4,000 a year
The pay of the superintendent is
to be $240O a year. The bill
also provides that these officials
shall compose the state water com.
mission.
There is a provision that no wa

RAILROAD MANS FATE
CUT TO PIECES BY ENGINE

W. X. Sewell, a member of the
switching crew in the local T. &
G. yards, met a frightful death at
Millers this morning about 7 o'clock,
when he was ground under the
wheels Of the switch engine and lit
orally cut to pieces.
1t is not an easy matter to get
full particulars of the accident, SINCE
after the inquest this morning at
Millers Justice Mcconnell went to
bed and none of the train crew
have been in town since the acci-
dent.
1t appears. however, that Sewell
got his foot caught in the switch
point in front of the switching en-
gine, and was ground under the
wheels before the engineer realized
what had happened. When the en-
CINE was stopped it had passed

express purpose, as he himself stat
ed, of taking sister away from

in the show business" and had
almost proved successful in inducing
his sister to promise to return
home when the "pincushion gen
tleman hit upon the bright idea OF
wedding BELLS thus saving the

NORTH STAR ASSESSED.

Attention is called to the notice
of assessment on North Star stock,
which appeared in local paper this
week. The assessment will
place in the neighborhood of $780,
900 into the treasury, which will be
used for equipping the mine with a
new plant, SO that operations can
be resumed, and this well located
and promising property opened up.
Good ledges have been encountered
by the former workings, but suffi-
cient development work has not
been done upon them to prove their
value, and but little of the area
owned by the company has been
prospected.

The Bonanza last evening told of
the brother of Blanche Roberts, who
left here with the Alburtus-Arzullia
company, going over to Goldfeld
after the young lady when the
hypnotic combine split up and dis
banded. But the best part of the
story developed after this paper
went to press.
1t was about 10 o'clock last night
when a telephone message was re-
ceived here from Goldheld asking if
the father of Miss Roberts could
be got on the line. Sheriff NAL
ley succeeded in locating him, and
when the father reached the tele-
phone he was surprised to find that
his consent to his daughters mar
riage was wanted 1t was explained
to him that the young lady, in
company with a young man con.
nected with the show by the name
of Lyons, had called at the eount3
clerks office in Goldfield for a mar

being under age, the fathers con

The Daily bonanza reaches the
New-York tribune., 1911-01-04

President Taft's New Year greetings
to President Estrada, with the implied
recornition of the consttutionality of
the latter'S status, may or may not pe
incidental to the opening of better era
for the much-veXed Central American
state. At any rate they close the Mica
oo1an cpisOde so far as the United
States IS concerned Throughout that
episode the course OF this country has
been consistent and inexorable-both ad-
mirabe qualities in dealing with such
ar affair. Thirteen months ago, after
n long exercise Of patience. the United
States refused TO continue diplomatic re-
lations with government which had
apparently forfeited the confidence and
support Of its own people and which ccr-
tainly had exhibited gross and unpar-
donable malfeaSance in respect of It's
essential functions toward foreign ma
tons. That action was criticised with
sert the natural aud inalienable right OF
rulers and states TO raise the devil. but
by rational and reflective people II was
commended, and by none more cordially
than by those Of Latin America.
There is little doubt that the course of
the United States materially conduced TO
the success Of the Estradist revolution.
We certainly hope that it did, and we
regard its doing SO as by no means the
least of It's virtues Without such con
duet on the part Of this country the
struggle In Nicaragua might have con
tinued lndetermnutely for years. until
the very subject matter of the dispute
had been destroyed. IT WAS a good thing

followers deserved 10 win. To say that

of all the virtues. II Is simply to en-
phasize The fact that Xelaya'S dictator
ship had become 50 iniolerablc that
practically any change must necessarily
have been for the better. In the end
Zelaya practically admitted his guilt,
and Mr.. Estrada became Provisional
President amid general acclaim. He has
now been chosen aud installed rs con-
stitntional President. and In exact com
pliance with the declarations of our

SEES DEMOCRATIC DETECTION.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Democratic hero worshippers
of Edward NJ. Shepard have been thinking
they could capture the Senatorship. They
find now, when 1t is too late. that the up
state and western Democrats have outwit-
ted them Both Sheehan d'Shepard are
corporaton men, and these corporations
will have axes TO grind when they get to
the Senate. II proves the old story that
the Democracy can always be depended on
TO make political mistakes.
How the Republicans will laugh at their
hopls against monopoly when they hnd
that either ore of these men has been Sc
lected as Senator! The people have not
demanded Mr.. Shepard any more than they
have demanded Corporal Cram or that
bright legal luminary Daniel f. Cohalan.
The ,Sheehan boom is supposed to come
from Buffalo, when it was really born In
Wall Street some time ago. When certain
combinations succeed In elsvatinS either OF
these men you can strike off from the
Democratic vote at least fifty thousand men
who believe the party should select some
man who is not a corporation tied lawyer
Go ahead gentlemen; YOU are on the
road to political destruction, but you had
better set the alarm clock about Novem-
ber, 1912, because there is no telling how
long you Will sleep. KINGS COUNTY.
