TOO MANY BIG MONEY
BILLS, HE DECLARES
Fitzgerald CritiCiIcs President Wilson
for Not Cutting Operating
Expenses.

ALBANY N. Y, May 26.-John J.
Fitzgerald Of Brooklyn, chairman OF
the appropriations committee Of tho
house Of representatives., told the
finance committee Of the constitutional
convention today that the chief ex-
CCutiye of state and national govern
ments should be made chiefly respOn-
sible for budgets. He would not en-
tirely strip the legislative houses Of
the right TO create propriations, but
he would make 1t extremely difficult
for them 10 so beyond the executive
estimate Of needed expenditures.
IF a chance were given Mr. FitZ-
gerald declared. "Our natiOal govern
ment could be conducted at from $780,
G00,0 900 10 S1O0.000,O00 less yearly
than it now costs"
The greatest hindrancc to keeping
down appropriations i'm the house OF
representatives, the speaker said, was
that few congressman cared what the
budget totallcd as long as they OBJ
tanned the appropriations they de-
sired.
Mr. Fitzgerald criticlcsed the pay
ing Of New York prices i'm the sage
brush county for lots"
How would you stop this prac-
tice2"
"We1, IL we had a president who
would veto Jne or two Of these build
ing appropriations once in awhile it
would help. he replied
Former Senator Elhu Root fire.
uuenuy nodded assent to Mr.. F'itZ-
EcTald'g statements.

Buttons for
Club Prizes
In Few Years

CHICAGO, May 26.-Clams OF the
upper Mississippi and Missouri rivers
are developing q coyness that threat
ems the pearl button industry, accord
ing to button makers who addressed
the National Association OF Garment
Workers in convention today.
Frederick @. Vetter Of Muscatine,
Ia, solicited the aid Of the garment
makers in arousing interest for federal
legislation to protect clans.
THE family of the Mississippi clam
has been so broken up by the hunters
that the clam has become discOur-
aged" said the speaker. THE clans
are beginning to hide in the river beds
and are losing their former boldness.
1T is probable that within dozen
years buttons will be valuable trnk-
cts. People will wear clothes without
buttons and this will change the whole
mode Of dress Of the country"

Arkansas river reached the crest Of RISE which was
precpaed by almost three inches of rainfall yesterday
afternoon last night at II O'clock when the guage read
1913 feet. At l o'clock it had fallen four inches, the
total rise being 154 inches
For time the rise threatened the Frisco and wagon
bridges across the Arkansas reaching close to the danger
mark which is 16 feet great deal of debris in the
nature Of logs and timber lodged against the piers but
quickly pushed off by force OF watchmen and
fOated down stream.
$4,000 barrel empty tank on the Prairie farm near
Cleveland was threatened by the rise 1t was necessary
to anchor it to keep the rampant Arkansas from sweep
jng it down with the current 1t feared that it
would float down the river to the Tulsa bridges and
sweep them off the piers.
The river rose two feet in less than four hours last
night but began to subsde at the end of the sixth hour
Conflicting reports received from the headWaters Of the
Arkansas leaves much doubt to whether there was
heavy rain outside radius of 30 miles from Tulsa. The
sudden rise and fall would seem to Indicate that the
rains were merely local.

HOLLAND WON'T COMPLAIN.
Lack of Proof that Dutch Citizens
Were Lost Keeps Government
Quiet.

THE HAGUE, via London, May 26.
GO.p. mD-There is no intention on
the part of Holland to send protest
TO Germany with reference to the sink
ing of the steamer Lusitania by a
German submarine. according to state
ments made today by highest officials
here.
The Netherlands government II was
asserted, like every other government,
feels the deepest horror over the send
ing of the liner TO the bottom but as
there is no direct evidence that any
Dutch subjects lost their lives in the
catastrophe. no action can be taken
simply on general humanitarian prin-
ciples unless all the neutral nations
agree to make a move together
Even should Hollanders have been
killed aboard the Lusitania, II was
added, the matter probably would be
settled by the payment of an in
demnity by Germany after the usu1
representations.

SPOTTED FEVER
PATIENT IMPROVING

The basco spotted fever patient at
the Bowling hospital shows a greatly
improved condition and there is little
doubt that he will fully recover.
According to DR.. Hood, the mortal.
ity in this section resultant from that
disease is comparatively low, and
death seldom results unless complica.
tions set in. Pneumonia, in particu.
lar, is serious complication. In the
northern part of Montana the mortal.
ity Is about eighty per cent, but as
we come south the danger of the dis.
ease lessons.
The disease is attributed to the bite
OF tick of a certain variety, but ac-
cording to certain authorities this
tick must first have become in
fected from biting some person or
animal infected with the disease.
AS the disease has become quite
common In this section, it is well to
know that it is not dangerous If
medical aid is called in the early stag
es. In dozen or more cases in this
and Humboldt County only one death
has resulted and in that case penu.
monia was the probable cause.

We HUMBLY
OFFER APOLOGY

The editor Of the Elko Independent
replaced his editorial column yester-
day with a paid legal advertisement.
This is sign of financial good times,
no doubt, but what apology can he
make to exchange editors elsewhere ?
Reno Gazette.
We realize that exchange editors
the world over and the public general
ly will look in vain during the COM
ing week fol the brilliant wit, wisdom
and philosophy that usually adorn the
editorial columns of the Independent,
and 1t was with great reluctance that
we gave the space over to the publica-
tion of town ordinance. It meant
just four hundred and four big round
bones TO us, however, with which to
pay the printers, and while we did not
need the money we decided to let our
Dr';ther editors and the public suffer
for a week.
With this brief explanation we trust
that the Gazette editor will pardon
us, also all others who will for a brief
time he deprived of our illuminating
editorials, which modesty forbids us to
say las much to do with the moulding
Of Il;bllc opinion in the United States

BEAUTIFUL CLARA
KIMBALL YOUNG At

Good news for picture lovers. Clara
kimban Young. one of the real beau
ties of the film. comes to the Wigwam
tomorrow at matinee and evening per.
formances, in the great World Film
The Deep Purple. This is the pic.
ture that many people have been wait
ing anxiously to see; 1t is a film that
is deserving Of praise in every re-
spect, plot, scenes and production. The
very name World Film" assures the
picture going public Of merit far be-
yond the ordinary. Its star is famous
the world over for her great beauty
and versatility. Those who saw her in
Lola" have universally agreed that
no other actress could duplicate her
work in two roles whose character
istics and requirement were SO exactly
opposite. Clara Kimball Young is all
the more interesting to Nevadans be-
cause she is a Nevadan. For three
years she appeared In stock at Reno
and also appeared at Elko sometime
ago during some short travels with
the company Of which she was then a
member. Her name crowds theaters
in Reno to the very doors. Her merit
crowds them where her name is not
known. In "The Deep Purple" she
achieved a great triumph; it is worth
many times your time and money to
see her in this great picture. The
cver-popular Pathe News, showing the
vely latest in current world events
completes an excellent program of pic
tures.
Put this is by no means all the at
traction the Wigwam presents for
Sunday. People who heard the Wig.

SPRING RAIN

1t isn't raining rain to me
It's raining daffodils.
In every dimpled drop 1 see
Wild flowers on the hills.
The clouds Of gray engulf the day
And oyerwhelm the town
II isn't raining rain to me,
It's raining roses down.
II isn't raining rain to me,
But fields OF clover bloom
Where any buccaneering bee
May find bed and room.
A health unto the happy,
A fig for him who frets-
II isn't raining rain to me,
It's raining violets.
