that has, visited the coast this season.
Every passenger on the ship WAS

The deputies and their prisoners

Statement From
George Springmeyer
Reno, Oct. 20, 1914.

Keno, Oct. 70, 1914.
TO THE PEOPLE OF NEVADA:
In the month of July, 1910, | was
resident of Goldheld and assistant
district attorney of Esmeralda coun-
ty. At such time | contemplated
being candidate for the Republican,
nomination for the office of attorney
general and during such time dis
cussed my candidacy with one f. X.
Collins, at that time a strong polite
al power in said county. Collins tried
to dissuade me from entering the
fight declaring that Hugh Brown Of
Tonopah would likely be a candidate
before the primaries and would de-
feat me as he was very popular New
ertheless, | decided to file my app.i-
cation. On or about the oath of tnat
month Collins came to my office and
the existing membership of the Ne
vada Railroad commission | told
him that | was for their retention in
office, and if elected | would vote
for their appointment. Collins told
me that this was all he wanted TO
know and that Hugh Brown had not
as yet filed for the primary nominal
ton, such being my stand on the Ne
vada Railroad commission, he might
not enter the fight. On the 10th day
of July Collins called on me in my
office and said it was all right That
nc cta la
sion was what they wanted, Hugh
Brown would not file | said that
sounded good to me. Collins then
said that | must put it in writing TO
assure Hugh Brown and others that
the Nevada Railroad commission was
safe in the event that | had no oppo-
sition. Suspecting no treachery, aud
without hesitation, or suspicion Of
unfriendly motives, | thereupon
wrote the letter in question:
Within one hour from that time
learned on the street that Hugh
Brown had filed. | met Collins COM
ing out of the postoffice and started
to talk with him when he stopped
me and said to come inside. He
closed the door back of me, and turn
ing about said "Now we have got
you just where we want you You
lay down or I'll publish that let er
and it will kill you politically for all
time"
said, you publish that letter AMI
| will tell how you got it. You have
struck the wrong man. There IS
nothing in it but what | am willing
TO have published ard | defy you to
publish it." There was good deal
more said among which | proposed
to stay in and make that fight and
publicly declare my stand on the

British Prisoners
Held In Ridicule
IBY United Press |

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 27-The feel
ing in Germany toward the English
seems to grow more bitter every day,
according to letter received here
from a man now in Germany. The
English prisoners OF war are CON
stantly held up to ridicule, he assert
cd, and the dailies and weeklies are
using kits of the Highlanders as a
subject for hundreds of comics
When Maubeuge was taken the
papers stated that 10000 English
troops were part of the captured gar
rison. This elected a greater cheer
from the crowd assembled in front Of
the bulletin board than the news that
the French forts had surrendered.

PARIS, Oct. 27.-The principal
declaration of this afternoons Com

en- the offensive in the vicinity of
Nancy, and have driven the Germans
across the frontier in the direction Of
Metz. 1t contradicts the German re-
ports that the Germans are crump-
ing the French right between Towl
and Verdue. If the French at Nancy
continue the advantage thus far
maintained it is declared the Ger

tilted position in the vicinity of St.
