BALDWIN ACTED ON
 DR. vERD|'S ADVICE
A jutant General COt'S Statement on u, Of iojrngion AIm)Ty.

Hartford, Aug. 31.-The attention of Adjutant-General George M Cole has been called to the statement of Senator Thomas J. Spellacy that Governor Baldwin was lacking in human sympathy and citing the action of the governor in refusing to allow the state armory in Torrington to be used for the care of persons suffering from an epidemic of typhoid in that town in 1911, in support of his statement. The adjutant- gen eral was asked if the course taken by the governor justified the sen ator's statement.
 Tt certainly does not. In my conference with the governor on the matter he showed the utmost solici- tude for the people of Torrington,' replied General Cole.
 Some Precise Facts.
 What are the precise facts in the case?'
 The. documents are in the of flee of the governor, and, really, I cannot recall at this time all the cir cumstances. But as I recollect it the Torrington citizens, who had the matter of securing the armory for
 
 over the head of the captain of the military company in the town and made direct application to the gov ernOr.
 Awaited Doctors Opinion.
 Before I heard from the gover- nor 1 received a telephone message f, om citizen in Torrington asking for the use of the armory, the citi- zen saying that arrangements had been made to move the patients into the armory at once. I replied that I had not the power to authorize the use of. the armory for the purpose suggested in the message and that the matter would have to be decided a message over the phone from the governor and, in response to it, ] governor and, in response to it, l called at the capitol and had an in- terview with his excellency. It was agreed that the opinion of the sur geon-general, pr. Verdi, should be ob- tained before anything was done.'
 What did Dr. Verdi adviser"
 "He advised against allowing the armory to be used for hospital pur- poses"
 Followed Doctors Advice.
 ''It was on the advice of Dr. Yer di, the surgeon general, that the governor refused to accede to the re- quest of the citizens of Torrington ?''
 'Yes, and on that only. The gov ernor told me that while he sym pathized with the people of Torring- ton in their affliction his duty com pelled him to be guided by the advice of the surgeon general, and the gov ernor was right" replied the adju- tant general.
 Greatest Possible Concern.
 'The governor did not show that he was lacking in human sympathy in your conference with him ?''
 He showed the greatest possible concern for the people of Torring- ton and for those who were suffer- ing from the disease. He would gladly have done anything for their relief, but he had his duty to per form and he was obliged to follow the advice of the surgeon general"

Chicago, Aug 31.-The impression that the European who is to be a prolonged one was again reflected in the wheat market at the opening to- day. Spectators, attracted by the re- cent decline, bid the price of wheat for delivery next May up to SIPS 1-2, or 4 7-8 cents higher than the close Saturday and only 1 1-2 cents under the highest price of the crop, regis tered last week.

new VOLCANO
IS REPORTED

A Redding, California, despatch says
that Mount Kanaka, a low lying peak
of the Coast range, perhaps sixty
miles southwest of Mount Shasta, ap-
peared tonight to be a new; although
entirely unofficial volcano-the new
ct in the world.
Smoke streaming from its peak
since p. m. today aroused the coun-
tryside and when the forestry station
at Mineral said there were no signs
of forest fires the belief was strength
ened that Kanaka has broken loose.
The forestry officials who supplied the
first accurate information concerning
Lassen peak when it became active,
said tonight they believed Kanaka
was volcano. Parties left here to-
night for the summit. Until they ar
rive and return, the actual condition
of the mountain probably will be in
doubt.
Mount Kanaka is 500 feet high.

President Hendrick is q most charm

intensely Interested in the university
and he has set about to broaden its
scope of usefulness. Along the agri-
cultural line particularly, he has be-
gun work, the splendid benefits of
which will soon be felt all over the
state. This department of work in the
University of Nevada has heretofore
been neglected as is shown in the fact
that the department is confined to
small rooms in the third stories of
two buildings, while all of the other
departments have commodious and
splendidly equipped buildings. In an
agricultural state such as Nevada is,
the agricultural department should be
given the same advantages as the 9TH

asked for an appropriation for a suit
able building. In an interview today
President Hendrick said:

NEW YORK GETS
HARRY K. THAW
Supreme Court Says Slayer of White
Must Be Brought
Back

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The su-
preme court today reversed the re-
fusal of the federal court in New
Hampshire to eXtradite Harry X.
Thaw to New York. The effect of to-
days decision is to cause the extradi-
ton of Thaw from New Hampshire to
New York at once.
Justice Holmes announced the
courts unanimous decision today. He
first overruled the contention that it
was not crime for man confined in
an insane asylum to walk out if he
could, and that, therefore, a conspir-
acy to do so was not crime.
The decision in the case of Harry
*. Thaw marks the end of 16 months
of litigation in the efforts of the au-
thorities of the state of New York
to get Thaw back a prisoner again in
the Matteawan state hospital for the
criminal insane from which he es-
capped.
With the aid of five conspirators
Thaw got away from the institution
in an automobile and made for the Ca
madam border.
Thaw Immediately gathered around
him an array of legal talent who by
various court processes blocked the eff
forts of the New York state repre-
sentatives, headed by William TRAY
ers Jerome, his prosecutor at the
time he was tried for the murder of
Stanford White While the legal pro-
ceedings were in progress the Ca
madam authorities summarily decided
the question by removing Thaw from
jail and thrusting him across the bord-
er in an automobile. This was on
September TO- Thaw found himself
in Vermont and at liberty. A news
paperman who had followed him, per
mitted him to use his automobile and
the two crossed the Vermont line in
to New Hampshire. Here Thaw, at
Colebroke, was again jailed. He was
taken to Concord, N. H., where the
litigation decided against him was be-
gun.

HEAVY SHOWS
BAR TO TRAFFIC
All Southern Pacific Trains Late In
Coming In Here From
Both Directions

All trains over the Southern Pacific
have been late in getting to Elko in
the last few days. According to rail-
road officials, the heavy snowfall in
the mountains to the east and west is
holding up the traffic. Number 10
seems to be especially affected by the
weather conditions. probably due to
the length and weight of the train and
to the connections for which she must
wait at different points. Last night
this train did not arrive here until 8
o'clock and other trains from that di-
rection were also very late, No. 5 not
reaching here until after three o'clock
this morning.

TON OF RABBITS
SLAIN IN DRIVE

BY far the most successful Christ
mas rabbit hunt by Reno sportsmen in
recent years was held at Cedar fiat
near A2lali lake Sunday when IS
shotgun wielders killed 51S rabbits
and Is quail. Only two of the hunt
ers were fortunate enough to round
up any quail. About ton of rab-
bits, mostly jackrabbits, were brought
In on the MOO. special that had
carried the hunters to the shooting
grounds. The average was over IL
rabbits to the hunter. Today the Sal
vation Army is distributing rabbits
to families throughout Reno.
One hunt was made at Cedar fiat
and two near Alkali lake. The men
were divided into five squads. They
did not load until after they had dis
embarked from the train and until
they lined up in battle array and the
command had been given. Precautions
were taken at all times and there were
no accidents. AT one time as many as
100 rabbits were seen at once in
field near the Hines ranch and by
more careful work to encircle the rab-
bits 1t is believed the number killed
could have been nearly doubled
