NO MEDICAL TRUST

Reprinted from the Boston Post of Jan.

President-elect Wilson is reported to
have told a private meeting of social work
ers in Hoboken the other day that, in so
far as he could have anything to say about
the matter, there would be no placing of
any possible bureau OF health in control of
a particular school OF medicine. 1t is to
be hoped that the report is true.
While allopathy is still the dominant
medical practice in this country, there are
millions of people who are adherentS OF
homeopathy and are convinced of the
good it has done them. So of other lesser
schools. To give the So-called regulars"
sole power over a federal health bureau
would be an outrageous injustice to a large
class Of American citizens.

RESOLUTION
AND PETITION
legislature BY the Equal Fran
ohIs0 Society Of Nevada.

W. SOGtOy ~
To the Members of the Legislature of tn,
State of Nevada. in Senate and Assem-
bly, convened.
Gentlemen:
WHEREAS. the Equal Franchise Society
of Nevada believes that it is of vital inn
portance to the State that the half OF its
citizens now unrepresented in its govern
ment be enfranchised as Soon as possible,
in order that Nevada may not present the
only black spot on the Equal Franchise
Map Of the Pacific Coast States, and that
women who desire to enter this State as
citizens from neighboring States may not
thereby be disenfranchised; and
WHEREAS, the experience of California
and Arizona has proved the wisdom and
effectiveness Of 4 brief and energetic cam
paign of n few months in contrast to one
of twenty months duration; and
WHEREAS. it is the desire OF this Society
to accomplish such enfranchisement with
out mourning unnecessary expense to the
State
NOW, THEREFORE, BE II RESOLVED
by this Society in annual Convention as
Sembled:
That we express to the Members OF the
Legislature of Nevada our full appreciation
of the hearty support given by your Hon
orable body in Acknowledgement OF the
women of Nevada; and We respectfully re-
quest the assistance of your Honorable
body in obtaining the submission of AS
sembly Joint and Concurrent Resolution
No. 6 to the electorate at an earlier date
than the next general election, if such can
be accomplished in connection with any
other election occurring prior to the Pri-
maries, or in any manner that may be sue
cessfully devised by your Honorable body
to obtain the quickest results without ad-
ditional expense TO the State.
Unanimously adopted by the Conven-
ton, at Reno, Nevada, February IS, 1913.

had a~nxiously awaited news of the ac'
ton Of the pardon board from the time
he was asked to repeat the story Of the
crime committed by himself and ].
Frank TANNER to the members of the
board yesterday afternoon. When
Warden Cowing entered the con
demned cell to tell him Of the action of
the board the murderer arose to greet
him wild-eyed. hysterical and on the
verge of a complete nervous break
down as a result of the strain he had
undergone in the last few days.
BY the action of the board Uric walks
from the shadow of the gallows and an
aged, gray-haired, s~orrowing mother
may return to her farm in Idaho con-
tent i'm the knowledge that she was
instrumental in saving her son from
the hangman's moose.
The board of pardons went a step
further in this case than it has ever
gone in a similar matter. The trip TO
the prison for the purpose of question
ing a murderer and listening to his
story of the crime for which he was
sentenced to die established a prece-
dent.
TRAINER Refuses to Talk.
After listening to Urie's relation of
the details of the murder the board en-
tered the condemned cell and attempt
ed to interview TRAINER, who is to be
Shot next month for the murder.
TRAINER was sullen and insolent and
refused TO answer the questions put to
him by members Of the board.
Yesterday Urie's mother and brother
babe him farewell. and preparations
were made by the prison officials to
carry out the mandate of the law in
case the board refused to commute the
murderer's sentence. The rope was
tested and the trap made ready. In
fact, all the details except the selection
of the guards to cut the cords had been
completed and everything was in rcadi-
ness for the execution.
In all probability the gallows at the
states prison will never again be used
to send a murderer to eternity. Tram
ner and Mirkovich have selected shoot
ing in preference to hanging, and a bill
providing for electrocution has passed
the assembly and now is pending in the
senate. 1t is more than likely the
gallows will be dismantled.

Keeper Of Secrets Of Xmas.

Lord Knollys, who is retiring, after
having been private secretary to King
George and the late King Edward,
has received many tempting offers to
write his autobiography, but, needless
to say, has steadfastly resisted them
all. An enterprising publisher, from
the United States, once ran him down
during his vacation, and placed a
blank check before him, inviting him
to fill 1t in for any sum he liked to
name in return for a book Of no fewer
than $4,000 words
my terms would be five million
dollars" Lord Knollys remarked,
quietly. The publisher gasped. Good
gracious, sir, are you serious?" he
asked.
Quite" Lord Knollys rejoined, and
then, with one of his merry twinkles
Of his eyes, he said:
would it not be worth a good deal
more to you If I had to say frankly
all I know?"
The publisher realized the force of
the argument, and was bound to ad-
NIT that 1t would be a hopeless task
to induce an indiscretion on the part
of the veteran courtier.

kaIser,s Long Pedlaree.

Among the curiosities OF the New
Palace Potsdam, which has been the
scene of a fire, is a genealogical tree
showing the name Of King David en-
crossed at the root of It, with that of
the kaiser at the top, the descent be-
ing traced through his mothers fam
lily. r ~
According to this genealogy the
reigning house of Great Britain is de-
scended from David through the eld-
est daughter of Zedekiah, who fed to
Ireland in charge Of the Prophet Jere-
miah, and eventually married Here
mon, king of Ulster Apparently the
kaiser is fond of gazing upon this
proof of his ancient lineage, for II
occupies a conspicuous position in his
study.

next session of the chamber of deup-
ties the government will be prepared

the liberal leader, NJ Mason. This
provides that if the parliamentary
committee appointed recently to con,
slider the reform of the provincial and
communal franchise system evolves
a plan which appears to be a manifest
improvement on the present methods,
then the advisability of revising par,
lamentary elections along the same

The adoption Of this motion by the
chamber would mean the end of the

from present indications, has reached
