ment that in some way l have become a sponsor for invisible government. Such a preposterous charge needs no attention and yet l should like to take advantage of the fact that it has been uttered to remind the American peo- pie of one or two things.
 Tn the first place, during my gov ernorship at Albany there was no bar ter of appointments for legislation.
 Tn the next place, legislation was considered upon it's merits in the open.
 There was no semblance of invisi- ble government. You cannot find a man in New York state who would stand up and honestly say that during my term there was a suggestion of any secret or improper influence with respect to executive action at all times.

HENRY MILLER, THE CATTLE KING, IS DEAD
 IN CALIFORNIA CITY
Head of the Miller and Lux Firm Passes Out-He Was the Largest Land and Cat tie Owner in the U. 5.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 17.-Henry Miller, the Cattle King" of the west, is dead.
 Henry Miller once a poor butcher boy of San Francisco, owned at the time of his death an empire in the west described as twice the size of Belgium" and because of his vast holdings of sheep and cattle, he was known along the Pacific slope as "The Cattle King"
 He never knew himself exactly how much land he held. Several years ago experts estimated approximately 22,- 717 square miles or 14,5S9,200 acres were under his control, mostly in Cal ifornia, Nevada and Oregon. Miller it has been said, could drive a herd of cattle from Arizona to Oregon, through the great central California valley and each night camp on his own land. At no stage of his trip would he be out of sight of one of his own ranches.
 Great Business Enterprise.
 More land was held on the Pacific coast by Miller than by any other in- dividual At times 150,000 cattle and 100000 sheep grazing on western pas lures bore the M" brand. The firm of Miller and Lux, in which Miller

was heavily interested, was in the of slaughter houses, banks, stores and hotels, in addition ro the ranches and ranges. The manager and clerks were numbered by hundreds and vaQueros were paid in scores. Traction engines were bought by the dozen and barb wire fencing and seed by the carload. They reckoned in miles not acres.
 Friends said Henry Millers policy was always to buy and never to sell. As a boy he had visions of wealth, he bought land when the Spanish and American governments sold it cheap, hoarded his property and lived his dream.
 Born in Germany.
 Miller was born in Brackenheim, Wurttemberg, July 21, 1927. When 20 years old he emigrated to America, penniless, and worked as butcher boy in the Washington market in New York City. In 1S49 gold was discov- cred in California and Miller followed the hordes of gold seekers to the Pa cific. In 1850 he was still a butcher boy in San Francisco.
 In 1851 he launched into business for himself. He met Charles Lux and six years later the two formed the partnership that later helped make history on western ranges. Their most active days were when the great sweeps of the California valleys stretched fenceless from the Sierra Nevada foothills to the Coast Range mountains, and when the vast land grants were devoted mainly to cattle raising. Gradually they watched the settlers come, saw their ranches marked off by barbed wire and or chards grow up where cattle had for merly roamed.
 Miller married in 1860 Miss Sarah Wilmarth Sheldon. In 1887 Lux died and the business was incorporated, Miller retaining large interests. In his later years Miller remained in the se- clusion of his San Francisco home with his daughter, seldom visiting his many ranches. He was the last of the great California land barons. Dis memberment of his domains probably will come soon for conservation pol icies, high land taxes and clamoring settlers make the cattle empires Of old impossible.

Britain's copy at the foreign office,
and, a little later, dispatches from
Paris say, the note was delivered

Must Make Another Statement.
It IL impossible to give an official
statement in advance as to what Lloyd
George will say, is 1t predicted, that,
after today, Britain's position will be
clearer than AsQuith's pledges made
It. and that 1t will be about as fol-
lows:
That Germany will have to make an
ether statement, giving the conditions
she is prepared to offer, before the AL
lies will even consider opening ne
gotiations.
That the tone of Bethmann-Hol
"weg's offer has satisfied the Allied
leaders that no good can come from a
conference at this time.
Britain Plays Waiting Game.
Great Britain has been playing a
cautious, waiting game the last week.

decide independently whether they are
ready now to consider a peace by ne
gOtiations, or whether they wish to
fight on until more promising terms
are possible. In every Allied nation,

take only few of the most intimate
advisers know, but some Of the keen

big modification Of his famous

it will reflect In large measure the
great burden OF responsibility resting
on his shoulders burden which has
been greatly increased recently be-
cause the Allies are leaning more and
more heavily on Britain.
Even the widest pacifists hardly
hope for peace now, but, on the other
hand, even the strongest advocates Of

been appreciably shortened by Beth
