 Thaw faces deportation on the ground that he is an undesirable e alien, and extradition on a war rant charging him with briebry. The warrant already issued in New York state for his arrest on a harge of conspiracy, will not suffice to extradite him, in the opinion of local authorities. These authorities received word that the district attorney of Due ness county, in which Matteawan s loctaed, was on his way here prepared to swear to a warrant charging Thaw with bribery an extraditable offense if necessary.
 In his own defense, T h a W claims he was merely passing through Canada on his way to Detroit, when his passage was interrupted by bis arrest. He exhibited what he claimed to be transportation to Detroit in SUD- port of this contention. and cited the case of Jack John nson to bear out his contention that he can. not be sent back to the United

On the Iron Mountain Railroad demonstration farm at Hope, Ark, oat land plowed four inch- es deep yielded but 23 bushels to the acre, while the same land plowed ten inches deep and fer tilized yielded " bushels to the acre. This increase results from the fact that the deep blowing afforded a better reservoir for soil water, and dry weather did not delay the growth. In the deeper blowing a larger supply of moisture came in contact with more soil particles and dissolved more plant food. There was all so more space for root develop ment, and the larger root de velopment was enabled to secure more moisture and more plant food.

RECOMMENDS REMOVAL OF
JUDGE FRANK =. LANGAN.

In an official report made public
Monday, addressed to Governor I. l..
eddie and the members of the legis-
lature, Attorney General Thatcher
recommends that a special session
be convened at an early date to in.
vestigate the receivership of the State
Bank and Trust company.
The report details the action Of
Judge Frank p. Langan of the dis
trict court of Nevada and his APP
pointee, Receiver Wildes. 1t states:
eff grounds for impeachment
against Judge Langan should not ex-
list grounds for removal do exist
y = and it is the duty of the
legislature under the facts which can
and will be presented to remove
him."
Governor Oddle said he had not
yet received the report from the at
torney general and would withhold
comment.
Wildes vas appointed receiver by
Judge Langan. Complaints were
! made TO the last Legislature of ex-
~travagence and inefficiency and the
legislature ordered the attorney gem
eral to prepare a report.
Judge Frank Langan made the fol-
lowing statement concerning the re-
report filed by the State Bank In
yestigating committee, which was
given general circulation on Mon
day.

GOV. ODDIE AND WARDEN DICK
ERSON NEARLY GET ARRESTED.

Friends of Governor eddie and
Denver S. Dickerson, former COVER
nor of Nevada, now warden of the
state prison, are chuckling over the
story arising out of an incident that
occurred during the recent automobile
trip into California, where they went
to inspect blooded horses and cattle
with a view of purchasing some to be
used as the nucleus for the proposed
stock farm at the ~penitentiary, says
the Reno Gazette.
The governor and Mr.. Dickerson
were accompanied on the trip by a
prison guard and a "trusty' at the in
stitution who is serving a term for
horse stealing. The guard has a
reputation as an expert in judging
fine stock and the "trusty' who has
been given the nickname of Wood
row Wilson'-perhaps because he
bears a slight resemblance to the
presidents of the opinion that he
can tell a fine horse as far as he can
see it.
The members of the party, with
Governor eddie at the wheel of one
of the state automobiles, were leaving
the California roads behind them in
great shape when they were halted as
they reached the outskirts of Sacra-
mento by an ea~gle-eyed motorcycle
policeman, who had observed from
his post beside the road that the ma
chine bore no license.
You fellows Will have to come
with me to the station" he said when
the automobile had been stopped.
Maybe you'll learn after while not
to speed around this part of the coun-
try without a license"
But" expostulated the governor,
81 am Governor Oddie of Nevada, and
this gentleman here is Governor
Dickerson, the warden of the state
prison."
Sure said the motorcycle man
with a touch of sarcasm, 81 know who
you are. But | arrest all kinds of
princes and potentates right ON this
spot every afternoon"
I'm sorry you won't believe me-"
said the governor, "but | assure you
! am telling the truth. Governor
Dickerson and | are going to Sacra-
mento on official business"
Eyes, | guess you must be-" said
the laws guardian, his tone unchang-
ed. And who's that guy-i in the back
seat" He pointed to the trusty.'

MURDER AT CALIENTE.

In a brawl which occurred in the
the early morning hours of Monday,
IN the Elk saloon at Caliente, William
Robinson was instantly killed and
Phillip Dubois and Joseph Meyers
were probably fatally wounded. The
three men are said to have been shot
by George Harper. aged 20. who is a
pumpman. Dubois is 3S years of age
Meyers is 80 and Robinson was %.
The trouble is said to have been
precipitated by an argument relating
TO labor unions, and it is understood
that Harper accused Robinson, Du-
bios and Meyers of being ''seabs.'
All four men are said to have been
under the influence of liquor.
After the alteration Harper is said
70 have left the saloon. Shortly after
wards, however, he returned and
opened fire upon the three men with
whom he had been q%uarreling. Rob-
inson was shot through the head and
died almost instantly; Duboise vas
shot in the stomach and Meyers in
the head. Robinson's body was re-
moved TO an undertaking establish
ment and the wounded men were
taken to a hospital. 1t is thought
that both will die.
After the shooting Harper disap-
peared, and it is understood that he
caught an eastbound train. Officers
all along the line have been asked to
keep a lookout for him.
Sheriff Dan Ronnow of Phoebe, Ne
vada, investigated the shooting. but
obtained little satisfaction.

NEWS OF M7ERE FROM ALL PARTS OF THE S7A7E]

ed Tuesday night, but adyices from
Carson City say that he has made no
definite announcement concerning his
course of procedure.
In addition to the two important
matters for which a special session
Will be called-if one is decided upon
there are other interesting matters
that may be ircluded in the call.
For instance. the governor might
decide thai the Legislature should
take up the question of reducing the
state tax rate l or 2 cents on the dol
lar because of the additional revenue
coming to the state through changes
made by the a commission assess
ments and license collections are
higher now tnan they have been and
a reduction in the tax rate is made
possible.
Then there is the matter of repeal
ing the appropriation of $4,000 for
the Panama-paeihc exposition OF
1915. There is considerable objec-
ton TO the appropriation being made.
and. If there happens to be a special
session, there may be a warm fight
for the repeal of the appropriation
measure on the floor of the two
houses.
The judicial district law is not
quite elear-in fact. many ~jurists
and lawyers eontenl ii Is about as
clear as a muddy pond-and the gov-
ernor may conclude that 1t should be
clarified.
And. lastly, the repeal of the pres
ent water law might come ~ before
the legislators.
However, what subjects are to be
takenup and considered depends
upon the scope of the governors call.

Receiver Frank Wildes came from
California. where he was called on
account of the illnesses of his step-son.
On being asked what he thought Of
the recent action in the bank case,
and the recommendations of the at
torney general he was not able to
make answer, as was il was all news
to him. says the Carson City News.
The first intimation of the latest
move came when he reached Reno
and some friends told him of the
proceeding. Before discussing the
matter in n phase he asked to be
given time to go yer the report. The
fact that there had been no real in
! vestigation of his books, or of the
business done by the receiver. makes
this rather a snapshot judgment.
Under the circumstances the receiver
will look over the report most fully
before he gives out a statement.
