FAILS TO GET
SIGNATURES
SECRETARY OF STATE WILL BE
MANDAMUSED BY ELko
COUNTY TAXPAYERS.

The petitions for the referendum of
the building of the Wells high school
circulated throughout Elko county
has been refused by the secretary of
state, who has decided that there are
not sufficient number of signers on
the petitions He rules that 10 per
cent of the entire vote of the state
must be secured. The commission.
ers will now go ahead with the bond
issue and the bonds must be adver-
tised and sold by February /.
The last legislature passed bill
providing for the erection of a high
school building at Wells. This bill
was objected to by many taxpayers,
who claim that the Legislature should
not have authorized the issuance of
bonds to the amount of $4,000. the
money to be used for the erection of
high school building at Wells. but
that the law should have been sub
mitted to vote of the taxpayers of
the county. With this object in view
petitions were circulated throughout
the county, asking that the law be re-
ferred back to the voters at the next
election II was believed that by Sc
curing 10 per cent of the votes cast
at the last election In the county Of
Elko that the secretary OF state
would be compelled to print it on
the ticket But when the petitions
were sent to Secretary of State
Brodigan he replied that the number
OF signatures was not sufficient, as
In his opinion 1t required 10 per cent
OF all the votes cast In the state, or
over 1900. He put it up to Attorney
General Thatcher. whose ruling was
also along this line.
The opposition, however, does not
intend to let the matter rest here.
They claim the ruling Of the state
officers is erroneous and that the law
as amended recently allowed the ref
erendum and recall for counties and
municipalities. An attorney has been
retained and papers are now being
drawn up to mandamus the secretary
OF state and thus force the matter
into the supreme court for decision
on this point.

Sen. Lodges Defence of APP
preparation for Case of
Mexican Prisoners Is Sue
cessful--S Passes Ur-
gent Deficiency Bill of
$40, OO0,O 900

Washington, March 1s.-After Wig
orous defence by Senator Lodge, Re-
publican, of the governments expen-
ditures in caring for Mexican soldiers
and other refugees interned in Mexi-
co and California, the Senate today
passed the urgent deficiency bill carry
ing a total of over ten millions of dol
lars, half a million of which was add
ed by the Senate appropriations com
mitteo for the maintenance of the ref
ugee camp.
An amendment was adopted to pro-
vide that the war department shall
expend this money only in caring for
soldiers and military refugees. This,
however, will not effect the status of
the 1900 women and children informed
with the soldiers as they are regarded
as a part of the Mexican army.
The appropriation was opposed by
Senator Bristow of Kansas.
Senator Lodge declared that the re-
ception of the refugee soldiers not on
ly was in accordance with information
al usage, but was obligatory because
of the treaty signed at The Hague by
many nations, including the United
States and Mexico. The matter of re-
payment, he said, must be left until
peace was re-established. Senator
Works agreed with this view.

CALIFORNIA;
UNEMPLOYED
HAVE LAUGH
ON OFFICIALS

Sacramento Calf, March 1S.-One
hundred and fifty men, the remnant of
Gen. Kelley's army of the unemployed,
laughed at Sheriff Ahearn of Sacra-
mento county today. When the sher-
if received word that the scattered
members were re-assembling on a
ranch four miles north of this city, he
hurriedly collected a force of deputies
and went to the scene. At the ranch
he found a band of men engaged in
erecting tents and shacks and the or
der was given to his posse to drive
them out. The deputies responded
with a will. but were halted at the
boundary of the camp by man with
a legal paper. The document proved
to be a contract for the purchase of
one acre of land for which $40 had
been given as a first payment. There
was nothing for Sheriff Ahearn to do
but retire, while the unemployed boot
ed and jeered.
City and county officials of Sacra-
mento were in a quandary tonight.
Leaders of the unemployed boasted
that they would provide quarters for
81 thousand men on the acre of ground
and defied the authorities to prevent
the re-assembling of the army.
