DIXIE BOOMERS HERE.
Pass Through on Their Way to the
Townsite of Marvel.

H. de Jeigny, one of the hackers
Dixie valley, was in Falon this week
from San Francisco, with a crew ol
twenty men, which he has piloted to
the scene of future operations, which
includes both mining and agricultur-
al development. The early erection OF
a 6O-stamp quartz mill at the Dixie
mine is among the things planned,
while great deal of building is
or the tapis for Marvel. This in
cludes fine hotel, storebuildings,
etc, at Marvel, which is but short
distance from the min, which is in
cluded among the holdings of the
company of San Francisco capitalists.
1t is said that several hundred thou
sand dollars have been set aside for
promotion purposes and that efforts
will be made to develop a model
town in Dixie valley that will COM
bine the characteristics usually at
taching to mining camps and farm
ing towns.
Mr. de Jiegny and associates ex-
pect to float their company stock
among the French residents of Cal
ifornia. Stock will be sold in Eu-
rope as we'll as in this country.
Among the schemes put forward by
the promoters is the carrying of mail
by aeroplane from Fallon to Marvel
Mr.. de Jeigny promises a regular SER
vice between the two places within
a short time, the air machine being
in Fallon now.
The aeroplane, baby Beloit, Is
in Fallon ready for transporting to
Marvel, where the atmospheric con-
out, before the matter of maintain
ditions will be given q thorough try
ing an aeroplane mail schedule Is at
tempted. MIR. de Jcigny also assures
the local people that the next pro-
ject fair will have his machine, to-
gether with the aviator, for an at
traction.
The several automobiles, loaded
fully with its cargo of human freight
including several women, reminded
local people of the days when the
mining rushes issued from this town.

WILL GRANT PRIVILEGES.
Secretary Lane Will Allow the Kla-
F.. math Water Users to Operate Pro-
ject, But Must Give an Indemni-
flying Bond for Protection.

Secretary of the Interior Frank
lin X. Lane recently gave the water
users of the klamath project to un-
derstand, in response to urgent i'm
portuning, that they would be allow
ed to discharge certain project func-
tons under the immediate direction
of their water users association,
providing they gave good and suf-
ficient bond for the faithful per-
formanee of the incumbent tasks.
The government, the secretary stat
ed, would require a gilt edged guar
antee against all forms of possible
mismanagement 1t was made plain
that no hazarding of the rights of
the water users would be allowed.
1t would seem that while Secre-
tary Lane is anxious to relinquish
to the governments settlers numer-
Gus project functions under a sort of
supervisoral arrangement, no con-
cessions will be granted unless COM
pletely justified.

STATEMENT
Relative To The Restriction
OF Citizenship To The
White Races.
Says He is Unqualifiedly in Favor of
the Exclusion of All Colored Peo
pie From Citizenship.

In an interview in the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, United States Senator
Francis G. Newlands of Nevada took
his stand squarely against the nat
uralization of aliens who do not be-
long to the white race, and in favor
of measures to prevent in this coun-
try any mixture of races of different
color
most influential members of the sem
ate, where he has served for ten
years. He is in San Francisco for
short visit and is staying at the Fair
mont hotel.
Answering question regarding
the alien land law and the problem
back of it, Senator Newlands said:
81 believe that immigration to
this country except for purposes of
commerce, education and travel,
should be confined to people of the
white race, and that We should con-
fer citizenship upon none but people
of the white race.
II also believe that we should now
write the word white in our con-
stitution. and restrict suffrage to the
people of the white race, and at the
same time make human provisions
for the Industrial training and edu-
cation of the blacks within our bor-
ders in such way as to aid them in
maintaining, at some time in the fu-
ture, an individualized national life,
through assisted emigration to some
part of Africa especially prepared,
by scientific development for their
occupancy.
Il see no reason why ultimately
these unfortunate people, as yet a
race of children, should not be by
a gradual process, extending over a
great many years, restored to their
own land fro mwhich they originally
came, and which is now regarded as
land of opportunity even for the
white man.
"The whole tendency is toward a
segregation of the races. so far as
races differing in color are concern
ed. The mixture of races differing
in color Is the greatest menace to
American civilization, and we should
not only guard against it. but, by
wise and humane policy, diminish
the evils under which we are suf-
fering.
1.-THE race question is blight to
the south, and unless We take hold
of it intelligently the segregation will
take place upon our own soil, and
the south will eventually become al
most exclusively dedicated to the
black race"

Bound by Evidence.


The major part of the answer is
the last part which takes up the
question of the care exercised in
making the orders in the first place.
AS to this the Judge says he was
bound by the evidence presented be-
fore him in court and that such evi-
dence was not opposed or controvert-
ed. He says;
THE attorney general, by infer
ence, assumes 10 state that | had al
ready been fully informed by the re-
ceiver as to the facts concerning his
various duties and services | would
not have fixed the compensation that
| did. He has likewise charged in
his motion to set aside the order
that a fraud and an imposition was
practiced upon me by the receiver
and that | was misled and deceived.
| shall continue to believe that not
only was the receiver honest, but
that he performed his duties with
ability and fealty, unless / shall be
convinced by proper evidence sub
mitted by any depositor or by any
one having any direct or indirect in
terest in the affairs of the State Bank
and Trust company to the contrary" I"
After this the reply takes yio-
lent exception to many of the charges
made by the attorney general, stat
ing that the legislature ordered an
investigation, filled with venom, and
investigation filled with venom, ond
spleen and malice
Expects Vindication
In conclusion Judge Langan says,
in part:
81 sincerely appreciate the oppor-
tunity you have afforded me to reply
to the charges of the attorney gen.
eral. 1t Is to be hoped that the ana
lysis given this report; the submis-
sion of the facts and the law that he
omitted therefrom; the record proof
of refutation available to both of us
but forgotten by him will at least
throw the light of truth on my OFF,
cial connection with the receivershiI
of the State Bank and Trust com
pany.
Concerning the recommendation
of the attorney general as to my re
moval or impeachment, | have nj
comment to make at all. A mans
dearest possession is his character
My vindication to me is dearer thai
office. | am not afraid of the truth
Neither do l fear that accuations un
supported by the truth or proof will
mean the undoing of any man"
The reply makes no reference Il
a special session of the Legislature
other than given above.

is that the attorney general sought to
have the orders vacated because the
state was not given previous notice
that the orders were about to be
made. The question was decided on
the ground that the state was en-
titled to special notice and having
failed to object in due time, had lost
the right later. AS to allegation of
fraud in the furtheranee of the pc
tition for vacating the orders, the
Judge says they were made without
proof and proof was reserved pend
ing decision on the legal point.
Judge Langan quotes his decision
on the petition as follows:
This court is without power to en-
tertain the motions to vacate the or
ders fixing compensation for the re-
ceiver and his attorneys, and for
that reason and upon that ground
alone, the motions are denied"
The judge answers further that he
is willing to go to the supreme court
on the points involved in his decis-
ion.

REPLIES
Issues a Long Statement
Relative to the Part He
Had in Bank Affair.
Jurist Who Has Been the Target of
Much Criticism, Offers an Ex-
PLANTATION For His Acts.

CARSON CITY. Ney., Aug. .
Judge Frank p. Langan of the dis
trict court here today delivered to
the governors Office his reply to the
charges of Attorney General Geo. B.
Thatcher contained in a report on
the receivership of the State Bank
and Trust Co. The answer is printed
in pamphlet form as letter to Gov
ernor Oddie and accuses the Attor-
ney General of unfairness, while the
judge defends his actions in the case
of the handling of the affairs of the
State Bank and Trust company re-
ceivership.
The document was delivered at
the governors Office this morning at
10 o'clock and in the absence of Gov
ernor 0ddie at that time, was reeeiv-
ed by the secretary, Austin Jackson.
Governor 0ddie has not yet comment
ed upon its contents.
Wildes Also Answers.
Almost at the same time Frank
Wildes, receiver of the State Band
and Trust company, made public a
long statement as to his stewardship.
This statement is being printed In a
pamphlet form and will be sent in
that form Monday.
Wildes asse rts that If there is any,
thing criminal in his conduct the
sooner he is given a trial and sent
where he belongs, the better. He
goes into detail concerning his sal
airy and the manner of the employ
ment of James Davis, in addition to
taking up many charges outlined by
the attorney generals report.
Involves Special Session
The reply of Judge Langan was
made by request of Governor Oddie
after the report of the attorney gem
eral was presented In the attor-
ney generals report il was recon-
mended that the legislative session,
which will be necessary because of
the need for a law on the direct
election of senator's, be called earlier
than usual and that the charges pre-
sented by the report be given to the
legislature for investigation. Gov
ernor Oddie on receiving the report
announced that he would not decide
OH the question of calling a special
session until he had the reply of
Judge Langan.
1t is believed that the governor
will now soon decide whether to
call special session at an early day.
The reply of Judge Langan is very
lengthy and equally emphatic with
the report ii answers. 1t is a gem
eral defense made by the judge of
his actions in connection with the
case in which the judges own con-
clusions are that he was not to blame
for what happened before work be-
gan; that he was not to blame for
the work he did and that he was not
to blame for not undoing the work
that he did He further expresses
confidence in the receiver and says
no evidence to shake that confidence
was presented to him.
Question of Salary
After diselaiming responsibility
for what happened before he appoint
ed Wildes as receiver, Judge Langan
takes up the criticism of his refusal
to set aside orders made fixing the
salary of the receiver and the receiv
er's lawyers The substance of this

DOG FEEDS HENS.
Opens Latch and Lets En- into
GranaTy.

John Sitka, of the CRANKY road,
claims that his dog Dewey takes the
prize for intelligence, and points to
an incident showing this and an un-
usual friendship between the dog and
his prize poultry. Sitkas grain is
kept in small shed behind the house
and Sitka found that when he left
the door of this shed open the chick
ems would enter and feed themselves.
This led him to place spring on the
door so that it would close of it's
cwn accord when open and would
only need a push to open it.
Much to his surprise, Sitka found
that his grain disappeared at an
alarming rate, despite all his pre-
cautions, and this led him to investi-
gate. Seated at his window and
watching the door of the shed, his at
tention was drawn to the pup, which
sneaked up 10 the door, followed by
several hens. Then the mystery was
explained when the dog pushed
against the door with his nose and
held it open while the hens entered,
gorged themselves, and retired to
roost.-South Hadley Falls, Ind, dis

RECORD VICE RESTRICTION.
Atlanta Crusaders Results of Purity.
Great Change.

Atlanta, Oct. 4.-One year having
passed since Atlanta closed its red
light district, the whole world is ask
ing whether or not the experiment
has been successful, and the ques-
tion of the success or non success
of the movement as it now stands
was vital feature in yesterday S
election.
Scores of American cities are in
vestigating. either by letter or By
sending representatives here, the ef-
feet the closing Of the houses has
had on moral conditions in the COM
munity. Magazines and social work
ers are seeking information of how
the change was brought about.
AS the case stands today the Sc
gregated district as an entirety, has
been completely wiped off the map,
as the result of the crusade waged
by the Men and Religion bulletins,
backed by the active aid of Police
Chief Beavers.
Until year ago Atlanta had pur-
sued the common policy of restric-
tion and a sort of informal recognl-
ton and supervision by the police.
There had existed, however, for
years in Georgia, a state law making
the operation of these houses mis-
demeanor.
The fight to enforce this law be-
gan when moneyed phiianthropists
published a series of newspaper bull
letins in advertisement form, sign
ed by the Men and Religious Com
mittee, demanding that the law be
enforced. Many of these bulletins
were of remarkable and impassion-
ed eloquence. Many of them stated
facts with such nakedness that there
was question of whether or not
they should pass through the mails.
The whole movement met the bitter
and violent opposition of certain
faction of the politicians; from men
who were financially interested in
the vice districts; and also from a
few people who honestly believed
restriction the only sane method of
handling the social evil. At the
risk of losing his political head,
Chief Beavers decided to enforce
the letter of the law, and did en-
force it. The change has been too
recent to draw any general conclu-
sion as yet.

RESCUED FROM LIVING TOMB.
Thomas Tohesky, Imprisoned in Mice
for Eight Days.

Centralia. Pa, Oct. 4.-Thomas
Toshesky, prisoner since Friday, Of
last week, in an abandoned chamber
OF the Continental mine of the Le-
high Valley Coal company, walked
into the open air free and compar-
atively we'll man at % minutes be-
fore o'clock this morning. He was
taken to his home in Centralia, three
miles from his underground prison,
and Immediately put to bed, appar-
emily none the worse for his remark
able experience.
1t was 7.15 o'clock when the last
barrier of coal was driven away and
Toshesky crawled through the open
ing from his prison chamber into the
tunnel which had been driven stead
lily toward him by eager. willing res
cuers.
The work of getting the man ready
for his exit occupied but few min
utes and soon file Of men emerging
from the heading heralded the ap
proach of the hero of the occasion.
Toshesky came from the hole with a
gray blanket wrapped about his
shoulders. Back of him was a miner
with hands upraised ready to assist
if he should need it, but Tohesky
walked with agility.
When he stepped on to the wooden
platform just outside of the mouth Of
the narrow tunnel and was first able
to stand upright, he paused for an
instant and looked upward, as if in
greeting to the world. His miners
cap was on his head when he crawled
through the opening of the tunnel
and greeted his rescuers. His lamp
was in place upon his cap and burn
ing.
Toshesky was glad to get out of his
prison, but he acted as if it were an
old story to him and nothing over
which to make fuss. Once before he
had been entombed
Hello" he greeted everybody who
spoke to him. His one reply to ques-
tions as to how he felt was "bully.'
Toshesky wanted to walk out. He
vas persuaded to ride in an ambu-
lance the first mile, after which he
was taken to an automobile and
driven home. His wife and five chill
dren waited for him at the door OF
his house. He got out of the car and
walked up the steps to his family,
embracing them all.
