HIS LETTER TO BROWN
Reasons Why He viii Not Do as Or
dered by Land Board With Irri-

State Treasurer Kay today directed
the following letter to G. G. Brown,
clerk of the State Land Board, which
explains itself:
''I am in receipt Of your favor Of the
18th, inst, transmitting order Of the
State Land Board, directing that de-
liver to YOU the notes now in the ire

gether with the mortgages, records,
books and papers in connection there
with, and, after giving due considera

to same, I find that cannot comply
with the same as neither the law 9ited
(Which was repealed years ago) nor tie
custom and Iracticd of the State Land
Boards and my predecessors in office
during the last third of century,
would either justify, permit or sanction
such action on my part.
"I am advised by the attorney.gen-
eral of the state that personally and
my sureties as state treasurer are le-
gally responsible for each and every
part Of this and all other state f,feis

able for transfer Of same to any per

Says Funds safeguarded.
"In the preamble Of this order IT Is
set out that a grave question has arisen

Train Stoned by Crowd.

New Orleans, La, Nov. 14.-Follow-
ing last nights wlkout Of the train
and engine men on the Atlantic divis-
ion of the Southern Pacific's Sunset
lines, the first attempt to move train
here today brought shower of stones
and bricks from a crowd Of strike-sym-
pathizers gathered in the railroad yards.
No one was hurt, and the train pulled
out, bound for Texas.
Commercial associations here and in
Texas were uniting today in an appeal
to President Wilson to intervene in the
dispute, as the strike has tied up gov
ernment shipments of mules and ammu-
milton to the Texas. Mexican frontier,
as well as the movement of the cotton
and sugar crops.
About $500 Involved.
The men, to the number Of 2500, quit
work at o clock last night, All trains
starting on their runs after that hour
were annulled. On those which started
earlier but did not reach their destina-
tions until after Z, the men finished
their runs.
The strikers version Of the dispute
is that their unions were unable to ell
force their contracts with the company
and that they could not effect salts
factory settlement of list Of 67 griev.
anees. The Brotherhoods Of Locomotive
Engineers and Firemen, and the Order
of Railway Conductors and Trainmen
were involved.
Az the last moment the company ap
pealed to the federal board Of media
tion and Cancellation, but it was toe
late to prevent the walkout.

no thought of the prisoner injuring
himself with the tin can entered the
minds Of those in charge. At 3 O'Clock
this morning, however, the chapel
guard heard a loud yell coming from
Hansels cell and, upon investigation,
it was discovered that the man had
sawed through an artery with the piece
of tobacco can, and had bled about
pint before he lost his nerve and called
for help. The doctor was called and
the flow of blood stopped just in time
to save Hansel's life. The man also
hacked his throat in several places with
the sharp piece of tin.
Hansel's cell was visited every Is
minutes by the chapel guard last night,
but, owing to his being covered up in
bed, the fact that he was attempting
suicide was not known until early this
morning, when he gave the alarm. Han
sci made the implement which nearly
cost him his life out Of the top of an
ordinary tobacco can by bonding the
tin in such a manner that it resembled
saw blade. The artery was badly
gashed, and, had the prisoner remained
quiet for Is minutes longer, he would
have died, it is believed.
Great Coward.
According to the authorities, Hansel
has been great coward ever since he
committed the crime for which he was
hanged today. When the sheriff and his
deputies brought Hansel to the prison
here, the condemned man lost his nerve
completely, and he had to be carried
into the institution bodily. He has
been bemoaning his fate ever since, and
the prison authorities say the man was
frightened nearly to death when he
caught sight of the moose today
Relatives Of Hansel will take charge
of the remains, and 1t is probable that
the funeral will be held in this city
some time tomorrow, and interment
will be in City View cemetery.
Hanged Handcuffed.
Contrary to the general custom
adopted by the prison authorities when
hanging men here, Hausel was hand
cuffed this morning. The rule is tc
strap the condemned mans arms at the
elbows, wrists at the waist, knees and
feet together, Hansel wore STRAP
about the waist and around the feet
and his hands and wrists were held to-
gether by steel handcuffs.
In view Of the fact that the man was
on the verge Of utter collapse, the work

CARBURETOR|LIS
DUE TO FLOODING
Float Becomes Soaked With
"Gas" After Long Use and
Permits Too Great a Flow.

Many carburetor floats are likely to
become soaked with gasolene after con-
siderable use. This naturally increases
the weight so that the gasolene rises
above the float level and causes flooding
VI the carburetor.
This tendency can be overcome with a
little care at first hand, which need not
be repeated and which will overcome
carburetor difficulties for all time.
Floats are usually treated with a coat
ing Of shellac, but a better method.
which Is absolutely certain to prevent
any disintegration Of the cork. may be
followed by fmmersing the float for one
or two seconds in a bath Of molten para
I'm. After this the wax should be busted
with very fine plumbago by q soft
camefs hair brush and after attaching
a piece Of fine copper wire the article
should be deposited in a copper-plating
bath
This should be turned several times
during the operation to insure unifor-
nifty Of deposit and the result will be a
perfectly water-tight float with but ht-
tie added weight.
A slight readjustment of the float will
be necessary. but this is easily accomp-
lished. II there are no metal parts upon
the float to attach the wire, a pin may
be used to carry the current. This can
afterward be cut of and filed down.

Bryan Sees Plant
Of Goodrich Company

When William Jennings Bryan, Sec
retary of State, was in Akron. Ohio,
recently. he visited the plant OF the
g. F. Goodrich Company. The work
men recognized Mr.. Bryan and gave
him an enthusiastic reception. lie
shook hands with many of the rubber
workers, some 1900 of whom are EN-
ployed in the Goodrich plant.
He was amazed at the tremendous
size of the institution. the number of
people employed and the interesting
processes of manufacture. Il was the
first time he ever saw tires manufac-
tured and judging from his many
questions Il was evident that he found
the subject an attractive one.
Mr.. Bryan fingered quite while IN
the laboratories where chemists seek
to find improved methods of compound
ing rubber in order 10 lend greater
durab biIity to the pure gum. The fact
that the Goodrich company has been
successfully manufacturing rubber
goods of all descriptions for forty-f1ve
years and still continues to experiment,
was regarded as one of the reasons
why Americans are supreme in the
commercial world. The process of unit
nodded construction was inquired
about and Mr. Bryan watched the
skilled workmen placing layers OF rub
her trnpregnated fabrics together until
the required number was reached, and
then strip on strip of pure rubber
until. the mass assumed the general
shape Of tire.

that the example set by this powerful

will be followed by the other makers.
No explanation or reasons why are
given In this announcement, but with
rude rubber selling at a somewhat

a year or more past. and the constant

Don't ride on the rim without
sufficient air pressure in the

Don't ride with casing on rims
that are not true.
Don't fail to use q pressure gauge,
as It will save rim cutting.
Don't fail to keep the rim free
from rust at all times.
Don't forget when storing the car
away to remove, clean, and re.
varnish rims.
Don't attempt to reyarnish rims,
though, until every trace of rust
Is removed, and also see that
the rim is neither dented nor
rough.
Don't fail, after coming in from q
long Journey, particularly If the
weather has been rainy or the
roads slushy, to sponge the
rims clean and then wipe dry,
as this will do much to prevent

that no truck can be more efficient than

These facts explain the deep study now

owners.
