Wilson Will Send No Special
Message to Congress.
HELD DOWN BY PLATFORM
Declares He Cannot Initiate Anything
of His Own VoIition, but Simply Act
as Spokesman of His Party-Favors
Standing Suffrage Committee in
House of Representatives.

Washington, Dec. 9.-President Will
son told a delegation from the Nation
citation that he favored a standing
committee in the house of representa-.
tives but he denied their request that
he send a special message to congress
upon the reform.
Marching by twos and fours, with
banners atloat, the suffragists braved
chill winds of a raw day to storm the
White House office. They were soon
ushered into the presidents private
office.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, president
of the association, summarized brief
ly their appeal to the president to as
sist the movement either by sending
a special message to the congress. by
including reference to suffrage in any
general message he might deliver, or
cial committee of the house appointed
to consider the subject
II want you ladies, if possible, +"
said the president to the delegation,

Is.

that am not a free man; ] am under
arrest | am so fearfully and admir-
ably guarded that | have not even the
privilege of walking the streets.
Spokesman for Party Only.
This is, as it were, typical of my
present transference from being an
individual with his mind on any and
every subject, to being an official Of
a great government, and, incidentally
the spokesan of a party.
Il set myself this very strict rule
when | was governor of New Jersey
and have followed it as president that
| am not at liberty to urge upon con-
gress, in messages, policies which
have not had the organic considera-
ton of those for whom / am spokes-
man.

presented to any legislature my pri-
vate views on any subject, and | nev-
er shall, because | conceive that to be
part of the whole process of govern
ment, that | shall be spokesman for
somebody, not for myself.
1T would be an impertinence.

dividaul; when / am spokesman of an
organic body | am representative" :"
There was pause and Mrs. Anna
Shaw spoke up.
"May / ask you question:" said
she.
The president nodded assent
"Since we are members of no po-
litical party, who is to speak for us If
we do not speak for ourselves"
"You do that very admirably" re-
marked the president, and the entire

Express Companies Fighting for Existence

The wonderful success of the parcel post and the recent drastic
orders of the State Railroad Commission of California and the Inter
state Commerce Commission requiring express companies to radically
change and lower their charges place these companies o the de-
fensive and they n now fighting for their very existence, says the
San Francisco Journal Of Commerce. Plainly if their is a reason
for the express companies surviving, DOW is the time for them to
demonstrate their necessity to their patrons. There is a distinction
between severe regulation of the railways and the express com
panies. If the railways are starved, as they assert, the community 8
facilities of commerce are lessened. That is not the case with the
express companies. If they were to disappear their business would
be done by Others. 1t would be absorbed in part by the railways
and in part by the post office.
That is the case in England. where there is both a parcel post
and a freight service akin to our express service. That Is to say,
the English railways custom is both to collect and deliver freight
parcels by a horse or motor service at terminals. Ii our railways
were allowed to combine in restraint Of trade and establish a
Joint terminal service here, it might be said that the excuse for the
express companies existence had passed away. Clearly the sep
arate railways could not each maintain a delivery service at any
reasonable cost, and that gave the express companies their opening
They lived by doing business which might be regarded as the proper
business of the railways, and on which they might collect the full
charge, instead of allowing a division to the express companies
Thus the express companies difficulty is the railways opportunity
There is difficulty about grasping it, of course. There are de-
mands for capital, and a new service must be organized. If the e1-
press companies situation is as hard as described, perhaps they
will be shed for the express companies, although it may be regretted
that this condition is necessitated by an official order rather than by
a process of trade.

SHEEP USED TO TRAP
SPOTTED FEVER TICKS

The free grazing of $500 head of
sheep upon the Bitterroot national
forest, in the State of Montana, has
been authorized by the Secretary of
Agriculture as part of a novel ex-
pertinent in trapping the deadly
spotted fever tick. The forest SER
vice and the public health service
are working together in cooperation
with local sheep growers in this new
campaign.
1t is the general belief of the lead
ing medical authorities that the
mysterious and frequently fatal dis
ease commonly known as spotted
fever is spread by the tick Derma-
centor anderson which, in parts of
the Bitterroot forest, occurs in such
abundance that it constitutes a real
menace to man and beast. Surgeon
McClintic of the public health SER
vice died last year of spotted fever
contracted during his study of the
disease and it's control.
The plan proposed contemplate
the grazing of two bands of sheer
upon the parts of the forest where
the tick is most abundant, with the
idea that large numbers of the ticks
will attach themselves to the sheep
Then, as occasion requires, the sheer
will be freed of the ticks by being
dipped in an insecticide solution
which will kill the ticks without ir
any way injuring the sheep.
The e~ngorging of the female ticl
with blood is one of the essentia
functions of reproduction, and this
Igorging must of necessity take place
upon the larger mammals which
serve as hosts to the tick. The u
S. biological survey has reached the
conclusion that the great bulk of tht
fever ticks which become filled witt
blood get their supply while attached
to domestic stock, and that if the
domestic animals are freed of tick
by dipping, by spraying, or by sons
other effective method of treatment
the chances of the infection of hu
man beings will be vastly reduced
OF the different domestic animals
the sheep is the most readily HANDLED
and the easiest to dip or treat, henc'
the selection of sheep for use in th'
experiment.

FEDERAL GAME LAWS
Statement Made That Govern
ment Has Not As Yet Taken
Matter in Full Charge

Carson Appeal: For some time
mast there have been articles going
the rounds of the State Press and
the California papers, also, for that
matter. to the effect that the Fed
eral Government has, by Act, taken
control of migratory birds, ducks
being about the only fowl affected in
this district. The articles give the
impression that the Federal Govern
ment now protects these birds and
that it is unlawful to shoot them
even during the open season as pro-
vided by the State laws.
This impression is erroneous, as
the Federal Government has not en-
acted any provision of this kind and
so far the game laws stand in force
and effect as prescribed by the States
separate and Individually.
About the last official act of Presi-
dent Taft was his confirmation of an
Act on March 4, 1913, wherein by
this Act provision was made whereby
the Division of Agriculture was en-
powered to adopt suitable regula-
tons prescribing fixed closed seasons
for migratory birds, ETC., and APP
p~ropriated $4,000 for the purpose
of carrying out the provisions.
Further than that no official action
has been taken and the game laws in
this State now stand as prescribed
by the Nevada Legislature.
The Department in this connection
has given notice asking for sugges-
tons from all persons interested in
assisting to frame a beneficial law
covering all of the States, and appli.
cable to the best advantage to the
different districts.
The States have been divided into
two zones, different regulations GOV.
ering each zone as thought best
Nevada is in the second zone anc
suggestions as to the regulation:
covering different districts and fowl:
will be heard until the first of DC,
tober, and even if adopted will moi
become effective until after that date
The sum and substance Of the mat
ter is simply that a Federal statute
ca Stat. SAD is in force providing
for the Federal control of migratory
birds, but the State laws are now il
force and effect as provided by tn.
statute.

MAURY DIGGS FOUND GUILTY
White Slave Case That Caused National
Sensation Results In Defendants
Conviction

San Francisco, August 21.-Guilty.
That was the jury's verdict last
night in the case of Maury /. Diggs,
charged by the Government with
white slavery for running away
to Reno with pretty Marsha War
rington, the 20-year-old Sacramento
girl.
On September 2 he is to be SEN
fenced to the penitentiary, this
bright young chap who had made
himself State Architect when he was
Is years old. He is only q now.
And next Tuesday his pal, F.Drew
Caminetti, son of United States Com
missioner of immigration A. Can't
netti, the veteran statesman of Anna
dor County, is to go to trial in the
same court on the same charge, be-
cause of his running away with Lola
Norris.
And so, the case that has shaken
the Cabinet of the President of the
United States and caused hotdebates
in the Senate and House of the Ma
tional Congress has reached its first
dramatic climax in that n word,
guilty.
Two Counts Dropped
The verdict was not complete on all
six counts in the indictment, for two
of these counts were dropped be-
cause the jurors could not reach a
unanimous verdict.
But the general effect is the same.
Maury /. Diggs a be sent to the
penitentiary for five years on each
of the four counts on which he was
convicted, and there is still an in
dictment against him in conjunction
with Attorney Harris of Sacrament
to for attempted subornation of per-
jury.
Last night he kept out of the Ala
media county Jail by filing alate bond
in the sum of 500. O%OO--s50O0 on each
of the counts on which he was found
guilty, with his old father and his
fathers partner and cousin, Marshall
Diggs, the widely known Democratic
leader, as the ~sureties.

NEW BOOK PUBLISHED
COVERING ASSESSMENTS
Nevada Tax Commission Issues Pamph-
let Containing All Tax Laws

Carson City, Nevada, August 49,
A pamphlet containing all the laws
relating to assessment and taxation
in Nevada has been issued by the Ne
vada Tax Commission and is being
distributed to all who make applica-
ton for it to the secretary of the
commission. The book represents
several weeks of hard work by L. F.
Adamson, secretary of the commits
sion, and is designed especially to aid
Sheriffs and Assessors in their work.
The pamphlet is well indexed and
was sent out from the State printing
office.
In connection with the recent con
ference between the Mine Owners
Association and the Tax Commission,
Commissioner Boyle, who handles the
mining end of the commission's work,
says:
1.-The conference between the Ne
vada Mine Operators Association was
for the purpose of determining just
| what items of expense should be con-
sidered as deductible from the value
| of the gross yield of mines to deter
mine the net proceeds which are
| taxed in lieu of a direct tax on the
mine ground in accordance with the
| Nevada constitution and statutes.
Many of the mining companies
have escaped a considerable portion
of this tax in the past through the
fundamentally of separate milling
organizations which have absorbed
in part, through arbitrary charges
for milling, a considerable portion of
the taxable net proceeds.
1.-The Tax Commission has de-
manded the abolition of these sec
ondary milling corporations and are
asked by the mining companies to
fix the items of expense which are in
future acceptable to it as Offset de-
auctions from the gross yield, sug-
costing also the introduction of an
arbitrary charge to equalize their as
sessments with those on other prop
erty in the State during the period
in which the assessing authorities
are bringing all property up to full
cash value on the rolls as the law re-
quires.
The Tax Commission has been en-
gagged in computing the percentages
of full cash value on which the prin-
cipal industries of the State r as
sessed, including the percentages of
the legal tax paid by each operating
mine in 1912. Pending the compile
ton of these statistics the Tax Com
mission declined to accept the propo-
sition made by the Miners Associa-
ton, but is to submit a counter
proposition within the next two
weeks to be considered at another
conference with the mine owners on
September 8.
1.-THE mine owners expressed them
selves perfectly willing to discontinue
their secondary mutiny organizations
and pay their tax in full without re-
sistance if all other property is as
sessed strictly in accordance with the
law"

General Huerta's refusal TO &C

Huerta himself injected into the con
troversy what might be regarded a.
a counter demand, namely, that Of
recognition.

President Wilson'S refusal to recog
nize his administration he would
long ago have suppressed the re
bellion, and even now, he asserts
the United States can indirectl.
enable him to restore order IN
