A TRIKING

"The Democratic party in 1907,
against violent opposition from those
who would be affected, succeeded in
placing upon the statute books of Ne
vada a law creating a State Railroad
Commission
The foregoing declaration is issued
to the voters of the state by authority
of Key Pittman, Democratic candidate
for United States Senator.
W. A. Massey, now United States
Senator, was the man who drafted the
railroad commission bill, and it was to
w. A. Massey that the appointment as
the Republican member of the board
was rendered. Concerning the railroad
commission and it's purposes Key Pitt
man, in 1907, made the following adj
dress to members of the legislature of
1907:
"What Nevada needs is a lot of
good railroads. THE PRESENT RAIL
ROADS ARE CHEAP ENOUGH; LET
US NOT LOWER THEM. DO NOT
PREPARE YOUR RAILROAD BILLS
WITH RADICAL PROVISIONS. The
state is treated all right by the lines
which are doing business today, and
we should give them another chance. -
And for that speech Plttman was
branded as a corporation lawyer by
the Reno Journal, a progressive Demo-
cratic newspaper, which so far refuses
to support Pittman's candidacy for
United States Senator, in this cam
paign.
In direct contrast to the corporation
speech of Pittman, the people of Neva-
da lave the story of Senator Massey s
activities in establishing the railroad
commission. In his speech at Lovelock
Saturday night, Senator Massey sur
prised his opponents by saying:
"Ask the people of Reno who know
who drafted the railroad commission
bill, and they will tell you-Massey.
"Ask Stoddard and Dickerson (for-
mer encouragement and acting COVER
nor, respectively to whom they ten
dered the appointment as the Republi-
can member of the board and they will
tell you-Massey."

BACON RESIGNS THE
PARIS AMsAssApoRsHIP
Steps Taken Because Of Election as
Fellow Of Harvard.

Paris, Jan. l1.--Robert Bacon, am
bassador of the United States at Par
is, today confirmed the report that he
has resigned.
Ambassador Bacon's letter, to Presi-
dent Taft, III which he announces mis-
resignation, was sent on board the
Oceanic and is due to reach the preSi-
dent at Washington today. Mr.. Bacon
especially refrained from making his
retirement public, as he desired the
first announcement to come from Har-
ward university. The meeting OF the
board of overseers of Harvard, held
Yesterday in Boston, confirmed the
choice Of Mr.. Bacon to be a fellow Of
Harvard university, in place OF the
late Judge Lowell
Mr.. Bacon said that he wished to
make It plain that his work at Har-
ward would be active service which
would take practically all his time.
That alone necessitated the giving up
Of the ambassadorship, which, natur-
ally, he surrendered with considerable
regret. As for the moment Of his re-
tirement, he, or course, awaits. the
pleasure of President Taft.
MIR. Bacon'si departure will be great
Iy regretted by the American colony
IN Paris, where by sympathetic inter-
est in all movements touching the
United States he rendered himself ex-
.tremely popular and it will be regret
ted also in diplomatic circles where his
qualities are highly appreciated.

COURT INDICATES
DETECTIVE BURNS.
Says Those Who Caused His Arrest
Owe Him an Apology.

Indianapolis, Jan. 11.--After being
complimented today by the federal
court for having rendered great SER
vice to his country" William J. Burns.
the detective was released from the
charge of having kidnapped John J.
Mcnamara, the convicted dynamiter.
All the charges in the indictments
against Burns for having arrested the
labor leader in Indianapolis last April
and taking him to California for trial,
were held to be null and void.
IF l or this court had anything to
do with the arrest of Mr.. Burns in this
instance, / should certainly now lender
him an apology" said Federal Judge A.
B. Anderson, in Diminishing the indict-
ments brought by the county grand
jury under which the detective had
been held in $4,000 bail.
The order which the court shall en-
ter will make il impossible for any
prosecutions to be brought under the
indictments" "a
The court held that when Burns and
James HoSick, a Los Angeles detective,
arrested Mcnamara on requisiion
from the governor of California which
was honored by the governor of lndi-
ana, they acted legally under the fed
eral statutes, and any conflict in the
State law with the federal law, which
made it possible to bring an indict-
ment, was not constitutional.
Judge Anderson indicated If Hosick,
who also was indicted, petitioned for
release. the release would be granted.
Detective Burns said in statement:
Ever since my arrest ! have contend
ed there WAS nc justification in prose-
cutting me. Then 1 repeatedly asked
for prompt trial, but this was denied
by the county authorities. AT the time
l regarded 1t as an attempt to hamper
