Sam Davis is at it again. Sam has
sagebrush on the brain, and 1t is
strongly intimated that he even
dreams of Il by night However,
we believe he is on the right track
and deserves to win, and we hope
he does, for the utilization of what
is now a useless waste would mean
added millions to Nevada's wealth.
The following is communication
from him to The Call of San Fran
cisco, California:
Editor Call Editorially this morn
ing you quote me as saying that S23
worth of chemicals could be extract.
ed from a ton of sagebrush at a cost
Of 81 per ton. This is an error. An
estimate of cost of handling a large
amount Of sagebrush t33,0O0 tonsf
made at the University Of Nevada
shows the cost to be $3.25 ton and
the net profit s2O.56 a ton,
German chemists are already in
yestigating the proposition Of ex
tracting money from sagebrush
In the state of Michigan many
millions are invested in the extrac
ton of chemicals from hard woo'
by dry distillation. and they pay $
cord for the raw material
The middle states furnish most o
the staples which can be extracts
from sagebrush, and the wester
states pay the freight on the con
modlties when they could manufa'
ture them at home for much les
cost.

PLANS To PROTECT
.U.S.EXPENDITURES
Fitzgerald Would Have Treasury
Pass on Appropriations to
Government Bureaus.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald Of New York
chairman Of the Houss @ommittee
on Appropriations, to-day declared
two things will have to be done i.
Government appropriations are to be
kept within sane limits. He said:
The Secretary of the Treasury
should be compelled to revise esti-
mates of Government departments
submitted to Congress. and Congress
should be deprived of power to aug
ment any request for money or 20
originate legislation imposing obliga-
tons upon the treasury
According to Fitzgerald's view, the
tendency to tack legislation on appro-
priation bills is dangerous and has
bad results. Fitzgerald urged that
the appropriations Committee be in
creased in membership 10 80.
Fitzgerald's suggestion is that the
Appropriations Committee actually fix
the amounts of money to be granted
to various Government bureaus, but
that other committees may retain the
power to decide upon the scope of the
needs Of these departments,
Fitzgerald attacked a suggestion for
the creation Of a general committee
to allOt to various appropriating COM
mittees of the House the various
sums available for each.

WILSON LIKELY
To RIDE OVER
NJ REYNOLDS
Statement CanCeIIing Delay in
White Slave Case, but Letting
McNab Out, Is Near.

WASHINGTON, June 24-That the
resignation of District Attorney Nc
Nab. of San Francisco will be ac-
cepted Immediately, and will be
coupled with the appointment Of his
successor, was the statement made
to-day by a White House official
close to the President.
President Wilson instructed Attor-
ney General McReynolds at the cab
met meeting to-day to submit to him
this afternoon a full report Of the Nc
Nab Caminetti case. This report will
be delivered in person by the Attorney
General late to-day.
After the President has examined It
he will issue a statement in which he
is expected to announce, beside the
McNab pleas cancellation of the post
ponement Of the Diggs and Caminetti
white slave cases. ordering their inn
mediate trial
Would Over Ride MoReynolds.
Should the President take this ac-
ton he will override the head of the
Department of Justice In postponing
the Camnetti trial.
At the request Of Secretary of La
Dor Wilson at to-day's cabinet meet
ing the Attorney General and the Sec
rotary of Labor were called upon by
the President to tellaheir sides Of the
case
The chief executive showed disap-
prevail of the action OF the Depart
ment Of Justice which he had pre-
viously upheld in public.
In calceling the postponement of
the Caminetti case the President is
acting in accord with consensus Of
opinion Of his cabinet, which disap-
proved the postponement which was
ordered at the request Of immigration
Commissioner Caminetti
Public Opinion Strong.
Secretary of the Interior Lane and
Secretary of the Navy Daniels told
the President very firmly that the ac-
ton of the Department Of Justice
placed the administration I'm an en-
barrassing light before the country.
The President decided il was better
to override the Attorney General
than combat public opinion.
It is understood the Presidents

the fact that the elder Caminetti, per-
sonal friend of Secretary Bryan, will
be unable to be present at his sons

INDEMNITY
Mayor Tells on What Conditions
He Will Come to Terms-Work
Continued by Company,

Early solution of the crematory
problem depends on the wording OF
the new contract. Mayor Woodward
said Tuesday he would raise no fur
Their objection to the price, and that
II the second contract was drawn up
in accordance with his ideas, the con-
fiict between himself and the General
Council would end.
Mayor Woodward insists on two
features of the new contract. 1t must
make no reference to the old contract
nullified by injunction, and it must
carry a bond indemnifying the city If
the crematory is not finished on time
and according to specifications.
Superior Court Judge ]. I. Pendle-
ton signed an injunction Monday re-
gtraining the city and the Destructor
Company from carrying out the first
contract. Representatives of the De-
structor Company announced they
would continue work pending new
contract. ....-..
C. P. Goree, the Mayors attorney,
said any kind of work on the crema-
tory would be in violation of the in
junction and he would cite persons
involved for contempt. Evins &
Spence, attorneys for the Destructor
Company. failed to convert Goree to
their view.
The work continued, anyway, and
Goree had not taken action Tuesday
morning. 1t is presumed Goree is
acting on the Mayors orders
The new crematory contract, passe
at the last meeting, viii come up
again at the July meeting. If passed
it must go to the Mayor. If he vetOes
it another three weeks will elapse
before Council can pass it over his
veto.
In view Of this delay, settlement of
the controversy over the right Of the
Destructor Company to continue work
in the interim becomes vital to the
health Of the city, as July, August
and September are the three months
the crematory is needed most.
