JOHN F. KUNZ ACCEPTS
FAT FEDERAL POSITION

Goldfield Tribune: John F. Kunz,
former deputy district attorney Of
Esmeralda county and prominent
leader of the Democratic party Of Ne
cada, this Afternoon received from G.
A. Prouty, director of the Interstate
Commerce commission at Washington,
a telegram inquiring whether or not
he would accept an appointment as
land attorney for the Pacific district
of the commission, with headquarters
in San Francisco. Mr.. Kunz wired
Mr.. Prouty his acceptance Of the Of
fer.
Mr.. Kunz yesterday received from
Joseph w. Folk, counselor of the COM
mission, with headquarters in Wash
ington, a similar telegram. He replied,
asking that Mr.. Folk supply him with
information as to the duties of the
proffered position. According to in
formation received locally, the tender
of the appointment to Mr.. Kunz is
the result of a recommendation made
by United States Senators Newlands
and Pittman, in recognition Of his ser.
vices for the Democratic party.
Mr.. Kunz, it is said, was originally
slated for appointment as United
States district attorney of Nevada,
but for some reason was not given it.
The offer of the position of land at
torney for the Interstate Commerce
commission is regarded as somewhat
of a balm to Democrats of southern
Nevada for Senators Newlands and
Pittman's failure to recommend him
for the United States district attor-
neyship.

The charge that the Senegalese SOL

bloodthirsty that French commanders
often fear TO send them to the front Is
made in another despatch received at

THE Roman paper Tribund publishes

made the best impression. although they
are so bloodthirsty that the French

LONDON. oct. 22.-The report that eleven
British dreadnoughts are using long

Belgian coast towns while a small fleet
of monitors in the canals are Smelling

most interesting news from the north
