For the Times
THE PEACE MOVEMENT

or all the most genuinely beau
ilful things that is absorbing the
interest of the public at present,
is the Peace Movement, which is
growing daily in favor among all
nations.
Strange as it may seem the
thought of universal peace was
conceived first in the mind of
Russia's present ruler, the Gar.
II was August 2l-lS98, that all
the representatives of foreign ma
tons at st. Petersburg, without
any foreknowledge of what was
coming, received, at a weekly re.
ceptlon held at that capital, pro.
posal that undoubtedly amazed
them. This proposal was nothing
less than that all civilized nations
OF the world should, through their
representatives. meet in a great
Peace Conference to discuss WAYS
and means by which peace MIGHT
he established and the dreadful
expense to which each nation was
put to prevent possible wars ID
reduced.
A magnificent proposal indeed
all the more startling. by way of
contrast. coming as it did from
Russia. Yes, Russia may indeed
always be proud of the fact that
it, has taken the initiative on
point so vital to the whole world.
And how did the nations respond?
Splendidly! 1t was considered not
wise that this great conference
should meet in the capital of any
with great delicacy Of thought
proposed Holland with Queen
Wltlhelmlne's consent, which was
most enthusiastically given. The
following year, May 18-1899, the
first international Peace Confer
ence was held, at which one hun
dred delegates assembled from
tWenty-six nations. 1t is in mem
DRY OF this event that May 18th
is now celebrated as Peace Day.
At the call of President Roose-
welt the second conference met
in August, 1907, at which forty
SIX nations responded. The third
Peace conference will meet i'm

As TO NEVADA CATTLE.

When ii was announced some
months ago that Australian and New
Zealand embalmed beef was being
landed along the Pacific coast, 1t was
hardly thought possible that this food
product would find its way in to this
city and section. The beef Is
here and is being sold in the
local market, says the Carson City
Appeal.
This beef is the heaviest and fat
test that has decorated the butchers

particular. The beef is simply lay

the customer without the sea yoy-
age and other transportation, it
would be like old time, real fat beef

product that equals it in the present
market.
The fact that this beef Is being

more than passing notice. Not mere

ICE ON CROSSING CAUSES
BRAKEMAN'S DEATH.

J. w. Hunt, Southern Pacific
brakeman of Ogden, was crushed to
death at $40 o'clock Monday morn
ing beneath his engine, No. 3216, be-
tween the Fourth and Fifth street
crossings In Elko.
1t was purely al accident, and
Hunt under the circumstances could
not escape death. Apparently no one
can be blamed. The saddest feature
of the whole affair is that Hunt leav-
es. besides his widow, five children
in Ogden.
Engineer Larson and Conductor
Brown at the coroner's inquest both
testified that the wreck was due to
the frozen mud at the crossing,
where the fianges of the wheels OF
the engine should pass. says the Free
Press.
The crew of extra train No. 1916
left Ogden Sunday night and reached
Elko Monday morning. When they
got here they had some switching to
do and the train was stopped just
west OF the Elko depot.
During the storm of Sunday morn
ing the %crevices between the crossing
and the rails became full of water
and mud and with the intense cold
of Monday night this froze and left
no places for the f1anges of the en-
CINE wheels to go when it struck this
spot. The engine was backing up on
the south track and Hunt was riding
on the step at the rear of the tender.
When the engine, which was coming
tender first, hit the Fourth street
crossing the tender suddenly lurched
and left the rails and went wild.
Hunt, it is said, was Jared off from
his footing but still chung by his arm
and yelled at the top of his voice, but
the rumble of the enginee prevented
the engineer or fireman from hear
ing him. Hunt was dragged some
distance and one of his feet was
caught by the cruel wheels and he
was dragged down under the tender.
His body was ground to pieces under
the wheels.
The engine itself left the tracks
when it reached the switch between
Fourth and Fifth streets. As soon
as it dropped between the rails En-
gineer F.. A. Larson, of Monticello,
shut off steam. But the engine did
lot come to a standstill until 1t had
squatted sq~uarely between the tracks

broke out in flames, caused by the
heat, the fire shot upwards through
a skylight In the rear and for a mo-
ment it appeared the entire building
was doomed. However, two streams
were directed upon the second fire
which was extinguished in a few sec
onds.
No opportunity was afforded for
saving the contents of the building,
for the smoke prevented entrance.
The office effects of the firms were
badly damaged by water. Practically
the entire stock of the Washoe Meat
market was lost and fixtures were
badly damaged. This loss is estimat-
ed at $4,000.
The heaviest damage was to the
Washoe market, which carried a
stock valued at between $4,000 and
100000. Just what the total damage
will be can only be obtained after an
inventory Is taken. The stock in the
cellar was practically entirely de-
stroyed, and the wares in the store
were damaged chiefly by smoke and
water. The canned goods loss is be-
lieved small. 1t is believed, how
ever, that this loss will not run over
5000. The building was damaged
to an extent Appropriated at about
$4,000. or $4,000. Insurance ove
ed all the losses.
Slight damage was sustained on
the second floor of the Cheney build
ing where the law Offices of Cheney.
Downer, Price and Hawkins were To-
Gated. An attempt was made TO car-
ry the lawbooks and fixtures from
the Offices but the work was stopped
before being completed. The damage
in this section will not exceed $1,000,
covered by insurance. st. Pierre's
Bootery also suffered a loss by smoke,
as did the Unique.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

TRAIN is DELAYED
FOR SEVERAL HOURS.

Because of the unprecedented fail
of snow, filling cuts and tracks, the
express from Reno was delayed sew
eral hours Tuesday and did not get
in until very late. Between Frank
town and Washoe the track is cover
ed with two or more feet of snow n
two special engines were sent out
by the Virginia and Truckee in an
endeavor to clear the way so that
express might pass. but the work
was necessarily slow. All through
Washoe valley the snow is very deep,
in places rising to a height of four
or five feet.
At Virginia four feet is reported
and the snow pillow on the loeomo-
tive was broken in an effort to push
its way through.
In Carson and immediate points
the snow is anywhere from two to
three feet deep, ana though Tuesday
broke clear and bright there is al
most every other indication hal the
storm is not over. In Reno at least
two feet of snow has fallen on the
level, but at various points in the
vicinity of the city ii is piled up for
four and five feet.
At variance with the reports from
most places it is stated that in the
Brunswick canyon only five inches
of snow has fallen.
Old timers in Carson state that
the present storm is the heaviest
that has been noted since the winter
of ~1SS9-90, when everything was tied
up for nearly three weeks and no
trains entered or left the town.

RENO BUSINESS DISTRICT
THREATENED BY FIRE

For the second time within the
past few months the Reno fire
department was on Sunday. called
Upon to fight a basement fire, and
only after three hours hard work
was the blaze brought under control
and extinguished. The fire occurred
in the basement of the Washoe gro
Gerry, owned by e. l.. Beelor. and the
stock of the Washoe Market, owned
by Chas. Madison. The building also
sustained damage, while smoke caus-
ed a loss to st. Pierre's shoe store
and at the Unique. The total loss is
estimated at about $4,000, fully
covered by insurance, says the Reno
Journal.
The fire started in the basement
where it was confined during its life,
although at one time a small blaze
started in the store, caused by the
excessive heat. but was quickly ex-
tinguished. Smoke issuing from the
sidewalk trap door gave the warning
of the blaze and was observed, by
Patrolman Lawrence Devincenzi, who
sounded the alarm at $40 o'clock.
II was at 7:30 O'Clock Sunday night
when the department returned to the
station. having been occupied for
over three hours in extinguishing the
eoGflagration.
On the arrival of the department
the chemical hose IA carried into
the building, but owing to the heavy
smoke it was impossible for the fire
men to make their way to the cellar.
An attempt was made to reach the
flames through the sidewalk trap
door but the smoke rolled forth in
clouds forcing I he firemen to keep at
a respectful distance. Finally. after
a wait for the flames to appear, holes
we're chopped in the floor and nozzles
forced through, served to slightly
reduce the amount of smoke and per-
nit the men to attack the blaze from
the trap door. This plan worked sue
c~essfully and two lines of hose were
used in fighting from the front of the
building, while a third was in use
from the rear. The flames were
slowly forced toward the rear of the
cellar and shortly after 5 o'clock Fire
Chief Iiawcroft announced that the
fire was under control. Less than an
hour later the situation was well in
hand and the blaze practically extin-
guished.

What the Others Say.
Mr.. Leonard writes:

Mr.. Leonard writes;
II am perfectly in accord with the
principle Of granting pensions to blind
persons who are unable to support
| themselves and who have no income.
OF course, such pensions should be
properly s~afeguarded, so that they
may help rather than hurt those re-
ceiving them. l believe Missouri
ought to commit herself to the prin-
ciple of pensioning blind persons in
the state and thereby give the Legis-
lature an opportunity to provide for
this sort of assistance to the blind
who are handicapped"
Mr.. Halbert endorses the pension
plan as follows:
THE handicap OF the blind is so OBJ
vious and it's nature so permanent
! that nobody can expect them to sup
port themselves on tie same plane as
people who see. If We must help
them, why not do it permanently, sys-
tematically, cheerfully, through a pen
sion?"
Among the strongest letters of ap-
prevail is Mr.. Baldwin's, which fol-
lows:
"Tn my judgment, the passage of the
amendment is absolutely essential to
any really thoroughgoing and human
solution of the problem of the blind.
All other methods than public aid are
inadequate make-shifts. 1t is an obi
CATION of our citizenship which will
appeal to the heart and mind of every
voter-once you bring the issue to
him"
Who Would Rob the Blind7
Joseph Unterberger is president OF
the United Workers for the Blind OF
Missouri, the other officers of which
are: Joseph A. Meyer, first vice
president; f. r. Scholten of 6edalia,
second vice-president; Miss Anna
johnson, recording secretary and
treasurer, and E. |. SCHNEIDER, CORE
spending secretary. The officers, with
Fred Rolf and Frederick Gabler, con
stitute the board Of directors, which is
acting as the campaign committee for
Amendment No. 7. All members OF
the board are st. Louisans, except Mr.,
Scholten, who lives at Sedalia. All
are blind, except Miss Johnson, whose
mother is blind.
The board has accumulated, by hard
work, a small fund which 1t Is expend'
ing mainly for printing and postage
The theory is that to inform a voter
as to the merit Of Amendment No. I
is to win his vote. The members Of
the board believe that few voters will
be found 80 mean as to rob the blind
even Of votes, and that, therefore, nc
part of.their little fund will be needed
for the employment Of watchers.
