TNDIANAPoLIs. July "A. - Vice
Pres't Thomas r. Marshall expects

mitee 10 be kept pretty busy in all
the states during the campaign. He
has made a special request that he
be allowed TO make at least one
speech IN each congressional district
in Indiana, and that request will
probably be granted.
Assurances reach the democratic
state central committee that very
shortly the members OF the congress
will be in their respective districts
making an active campaign. Bus
mess OF the congress is in such
shape that on all the measures OF
importance they are now waiting on
senate action and under these con-
ditions they can absent themselves
for trips OF 10 days and be away
from no important votes or commit
tee work. In fac: the congress will
soon be Becessing a good part OF
the time awaiting senatorial voting
IL Will probably be but a very
short time also until Sens. Kern and
Taggart can be in the state at least
part OF their time In the large
newspapers OF the east there has
been much favorable comment on
the attitude OF Sen. Thomas Taggart
in the matter Of public extrava gance.

his action in openly attacking such
things viii make il impossible in the
future for any such legislation to

Attracts Favorable Notice.
One senator who has in the past
stood for such appropriations more
as a mater OF custom than reason
is quoted a. saying that the action

boldness of attack, and with his
apparent determination TO keep
tracking the head OF every item OF
rhe sort that appears has caused his
colleagues TO cut up and take no.
tice. That he has sounded the cur
few on such things in the future. II
H. also pointed out that the single
item OF chasing ground squirrels
and coyotes on "the great American
desert which started in 1910 at
$4,000. has taken jump with
each session of congress until in
1916 it has reached $4,000. This
was one item which Sen. Taggart
specially criticized.

ELKO TO HAVE NEW
WEEKLY NEWSPAPER

An announcement has been made
by the Independent that Elko is to
have a new weekly newspaper, the
Nevada Republican. The editor in
said to be A. l.. Colvert, but those
we'll informed say that George b.
Russell, editor of the Independent,
is the real editor, and he will be able
to express his real sentiments about
the Democratic administration. Mr..
Colvert was formerly in the employ
of the Free Press, and Is e W at the
newspaper game, coming here from
California where he was engaged in
the jobbing business until he failed
last spring. He is unknown to the
newspaper profession, and II Is the
popular belief that the Nevada Re
publican is another of those "fy-by-
night" election newspapers. Elko
people have paid for several news
papers of this sort and they should
have their eye teeth cut by this time

PRISON COMMISSIONERS ARE
ASKED TO RESTRAIN WARDEN

1t is four days since the Appeal
called attention to the fact that Fred
Skinner, n of the most notorious
criminals of the west, had been per-
mitted to work, without guard, along
side of the other eonviets on the state
capitol grounds, although since the
Appeals article was published sew
eral requests have gone to the prison
authorities from officials in the cap
itol building that a guard be sent
to the grounds to watch over Skinner,
but no attention whatever has been
paid to the requests. They have
simply been ignored.
1t is apparent, therefore, that War
den Dickerson, with a determination
that is worthy of a better cause, is
going TO nerve the thing through and
force on the public his ideas of prison
reform no matter what the conse-
quences may be. 1t does not matter
to him what society's rights are nor
that he is throwing insult in the face
of the jury that found Skinner guilty
and the judge who sentenced him
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1916-07-23

He pays no heed to the fact that
Skinner has already once made his
escape and got as far as San
co before he was captured; that less
than two years ago he was the leader
of a conspiracy that planned TO
break from the penitentiary and in
yolved the killing of two guards, and
all of which might have happened
had not one of the conspirators got
cold feet and given the scheme away.
And when search was made weapons
were found in SINNERS possession.
1t does not concern the warden eth
er that Skinner has repeatedly
threatened that he will make his
break at the first opportune moment
and that before he leaves Carson he
will get two men,, one of them a men,
Der of the supreme court. Thes
facts cut no weight when put in the
balance with the warden's maudlin
theory that '~convicts are children
ana nave W 10 Houi iohcu IA "'H~
ness. Fancy California prison au-
thorities taking ucn a view OF a
convict like Jake" Oppenheimer,
and Sing Sing officials wasting favors
on a Red Galloway.
In view of these facts and in the
belief that no relief is to be expected
from Warden Dickerson, the Appeal
calls upon the state board of prison
commissioners to take the matter In
hand and in the interest of humanity
and complication of safety first, to
issue an order that will compel the
warden to keep behind prison walls
where they belong, conviets of the
Skinner stripe.-Carson Appeal.

OFFICERS BELIEVE MATCHES
SHOOTING WAS SELF DEFENSE

The eoroner's inquest on the re-
mains of Juan Ramos, the Mexican
who was shot and killed at Matches
Sunday. was finished, the jury return
ing a verdict that the deceased came
to his death by a gunshot wound in
flicted by Eugenio Pichi. The Off
GERS who have been investigating tho
shooting say that they believe Pichi
shot In self defense, as from the testi-
mony the two Mexicans had bnee
drinking and had gone to Pichi's
cabin, demanding liquor. He told
them he had none, which they did
not believe. and on his refusal they
both attacked him, one having q
knife and the other a razor He
grabbed his shot gun. and ran from
his cabin to the section boss house

cans in close pursuit. He warned

QUARANTINE RAISED ON
F~OOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE

A proclamation by the governor
relative to quarantine against inn
portation into the state of Nevada OF
live stock from other states has been
issued.
This quarantine order raises the
quarantine which the state has main
tanned since November. 1914, on &C
count of the "foot-and-mouth" dis
ease, restoring normal traffic condi-
tions in live stock.
The tuberculin test is only requir-
ed for dairy and breeding cattle;
other classes of cattle may come in
to the state upon physical examina-
ton. Cattle and hogs for immediate
slaughter will be accepted without
certifcation, the owner filing a
statement stating the number of cat
tie. their origin and destination, in
lieu of a certificate. Branded range
cattle from Oregon, California, Idaho
and Utah will be allowed to enter
without examination, a similar state
ment from the owner serving in lieu
of a certificate of inspection. The
mallein test is lot required for
horses, asses and mules, these ami
being allowed to enter upon a
carti6cate of nhysjcal examination
No relaxation of the rabies quaran-
tine Is made in this order, nor does
the order cover the movement of
sheep into Nevada.
