SUPREME COURT GRANTS
MANDAMUS PETITION
Temporary Relief Given by Trans
fer of Funds to the
Treasury

! Late yesterday afternoon the mem
bers of the Supreme Court granted
the writ of mandamus asked for by
Geo. Mills against the State Treas
urer. Mr. Mills asked that Treasur-
er Mcmillan be compelled to trans
fer the sum of $73,o45.8O that is in
the new Prison Fund to the General
fund of the treasury in order that
the Fish Commission might be paid
warrant calling for $l,755.36, which
had been refused on the grounds of
mo funds"
The decision rendered by the
Court, which is unanimous, is in ef-
feet that the original $lO5 900 was al
ways part OF the General Funl and
was always subject to demands OF the
warrant holders. This $lO5,OOO was
special issue of bonds, which run
for twenty years, bearing an interest
of 6 per cent. That in order to re-
ceive the benefit of this money it
was intended always that it be put in
circulation through the General
Fund.
The opinion is to the effect that the
placing of the money as special
fund was unlawful and contrary toI
the legal meaning of the Act, and the
action is void, thus placing the re-
money i'll its channel. That
it was transferred without authority
by the Controller and Treasurer.
In reply to Attorney Boyd, who !
represented the Nevada Engineering /
Works. and who opposed the dis
tributing OF the fund, as he contend |
ed that it was a specific debt contract
ed by the state, the Court says:
That it is a general proposition of |
law that all monies coming into the |
State Treasury constitute a part Of
he General Fund
That if authority existed to trans
er the said money to a special fund,
hat the same authority exists to

MISLEADING STATEMENTS
No Gambling at the State Prison
Declares Warden Baker.
Other Recreation
is Provided

} is hard to guess He evidently wa
looking for something sensationa
and certainly made it go as far a
possible. You can set it down a
misleading and unfair in every par
ticular, and untruthful.
Instead of gambling other plan!
for recreation have been devised ane
set in motion. Baseball is indulgeo
in twice a week. 1t not only keeps
the prisoners busy on the games but
! keeps keen interest going. The
days set apart for this play are look
J ed forward to with the keenest inter
est and enjoyed by every member
who is allowed yard privileges.
Under the old rule the prisoners
on Sunday were placed in the dining
room early in the day where they
were kept until cell locking They
naturally were given some means to
divert their minds and gambling was
the mode adopted
oIucT tHe new pIoSIdHl tHt Hitli
are now released at o'clock in the
quarry yard. where they have their
game of ball. They are called into
the dining room at o'clock where
after dinner divine services are per-
formed by one of the four ministers
of this city, they take turns about
that every man may have the creed
that is his. This is generally follow
ed by the prison orchestra. After
the usual exercisce in the yard the
men are locked in the cells. This is
the program, and where anyone can
see any gambling III this fail to
note
"All / expect from the press is fair

inauguarted at the prison. 1t is such
work as the telegram published in

injury to me but to the prison as we'll

This morning the San Francisc,
the most misleading and all-rount
exaggerated accounts that has gon'
out of the State in many years
Some Reno correspondent, who wa:
looking for space writing, or else
] wished to defame Warden Baker
sent out the story. 1t recites story
to the effect that wide-open gambling
i is allowed at the prison, that the lid
has been thrown wide off and that
while the rest OF the state has put the
| ban on gambling that Warden Baker
| authorizes games Of all nature inside
the prison walls.
The. telegram states that roulette,
craps, faro, klondike, fantan, monte,
and every game known to gambling
is indulged in.
Probably the most damaging para
graph is to the effect that the actions
OF Baker has called down censure
from the appointing officers and that
he may come in for official investiga-
ton.
The whole article teens with such
mistatements and is without doubt
the largest conglomeration OF false
statements ever sent over the wire
Warden Baker was asked concern
ing the item this morning He was
naturally indignant, and stated:
There is not a card. dice or gamh-
ling contrivance of any nature inside
the prison walls Before took
charge of the institution gambling
was allowed on Sunday afternoon
1t was set aside for this recreation
and freely INDUCED in. This did not
suit my idea of prison reform and !
took out every card and forbid any
gambling of any kind or class. Tol
my knowledge or that of the guards
there has not been any gambling

transfer the same money back whence {
it came, the General Fund.
/ Th decision relates the fact that the
credit of the state is at stake at the
present time and that there is no
halo of sacredness" about this par
ticular fund, nor was it superior To
other appropriations or funds such as
the State University, State Hospital,
Orphans Home or other institutions
The decision in conclusion says
Under these circumstances and
| with the money sought to be transfer
red having lain for over year in
fund not specified by the Legislature,
and it being the rule that when no
other funds designated for the place
ment Of moneys. they go into the
General Fund, good business policy
as well as the law warrants the use
of this money, on which the state has
long been paying interest, to meet
any obligations of the state properly
payable out of the General Fund,
and to and in maintaining the credit
of the state until the receipt of the
main installment of taxes due and
payable in about ninety days.
By reason of the foregoing, it is Or
dered that the State Treasurer of
