CARSON CITY, March 1O-Sena-
tor Campbell's 5000 prison chaplain
Dill has hit the rocks. Here is what
the Carson representative of the Re-
no Gazette has to say about it:
"A regular chaplain and bibles will
not be among the allowances for the
>convlcts, the senate yesterday kill
ing the bill which would have Great
ed a prison chaplain at a salary of
5000 per year and providing that
every convict should be furnished
with bible. There was wide oppo-
Sition to the bill. Senator Harring-
ton said that the statutes and courts
were designed to place the fear of
God in the hearts of the convict and
that the bill under discussion was de-
signed to put the love of God in
their hearts, The general opinion ex-
pressed by the senators was that the
Dill would tend to create dissention
IN the ranks of the clergy"

reason it should be amended so as

contention and on his motion the

SHORT HISTORY OF THE
NEVADA STATE WATER Law

Yesterday, Judge Harrington in tho
federal court rendered an opinion In
the case of Bergman ct. al versus
kearney, state engineer, upholding
the constitutionality of the water
law Of 1913, as amended in 1915.
The history of this matter is in
teresting. In 1910 Governor Boyle,
then state engineer, after a series of
conferences with men expert in ir-
rigation and water law, recommend
ed in his report that a procedure
closely following that Of Oregon be
adopted in Nevada.
The matter was submitted to Gov
ernor Oddie before the session of
the lie gislature of 1911 and a bill pre-
pared by the then state engineer was
recommended by Governor Oddie, in
special message to the legislature.
The act appeared to have an ex-
cellent chance of passage, but as
result of wrangle between the
executive and the legislative depart
ments regarding appointments under
the act, Governor Oddie vetoed the
measure when it was passed up to
him for approval or disapproval.
In 1913 Mr.. Kearney proposed GER
tain changes in the law affecting the
hnal determination of rights The
1913 bill as passed made the state
engineer the sole functionary in the
original determination of water
rights throughout the state, with GER
tain right of appeal to the courts.
differing from the proposed 1911 act
which vested the state engineer with
certain quasi-judicial functions but
left the final determination to the
courts in a continuous proceeding.
This act was declared unconstitu-
tional by the supreme court of Ne
vada.
In 1915 Governor BOYLE recon-
mended to the legislature that the
1913 act be so amended as to restore
the court procedure held by the sup
rene court to be essential to the con-
stitutlonality of the measure.
These amendments were made. and
Judge Farrington's decision yester-
DAY appears to indicate that the de-
fects In the statute passed upon by
the state court have been fully cor
rected.
The act as it now stands is, with
the exception of minor administra-
tive details. the same act as pronosed
py the governor in 1910 and 1911.

COKE AS AUTO FUEL.

A new English steam wagon, fred
automatically with coke, has been
under test in ompibus service for a
year. From "a Royal Automobile
club report, it appears that on a
run of 219 miles with a load of 234
tons the coke consumption was about
four pounds per mile; and it is sug-
gested that omnibuses already in use
be adapted for coke fuel, and more
economical than imported oil OF
gasoline.

BROUGHT BACK FROM DEATH
Lineman Resuscitated After He Appar-
emily Had Been Killed by Touch
ing Heavily Charged Wire.

A remarkable case of resuecitation
after electric shock is narrated in a
recent report of an inspector of a
New York power company, which
gives particulars Of the recovery OF
one of his men from the effects of an
electric shock.
The man, when about to erect pri-
mary wires, was apparently killed by
accidentally touching a wire carry
ing current at $500 volts. A line
man Immediately took hold of the
ankles of the limp body, lifting it
until the whole weight rested on the
neck, and letting it fall. He then
took pair of connectors and ham
lnered the soles of the injured mans
feet without removing his shoes. An
other lineman opened the mans
mouth, pulled forward the swallowed
tongue (which occurs in electric
shOek), and was about to begin the
Schaefer prone method of resuscita-
ton, while the man returned to life.
He was removed to the hospital, and
is now well, though suffering severe
ly from his burns.
Similar cases Of recovery are men
toned in connection with the plan
of striking the feet without removing
the boots or shoes in case of electric
shock.-Scientifc American.

wan NOT GREATLY CHANGED
MarveIs Of Twenty Centuries Age
Have Strange Similarity to Those
of Modern 1attlefieIds.

1t is said that there have been
more changes in the art of war dur
ing the past ten years-since the
Russo-Japanese confict-than in the
previous so years; and more impor-
tant changes in those so years than
in the previous five centuries-since
the use of gunpowder. Yet if the
survivor of Antietam OF Gettysburg
were to accompany his grandson to
the country's newest battle front,
what would he find that is essentially
new? asks writer in Everybody.
From these same battlefelds of
France, 20 centuries ago, war cor
respondent sent home to Rome ac-
counts of certain armored engines of
war which were battering the fortif-
cations of Germanic towns into the
dust over which now creep the
"tanks" of today. Indeed some of
Alexander's special dispatches, read
by the loiterers in the Herald
Square Of Athens 1000 years ago,
told how a Persian inventor had
fixed to the wheels of his chariots a
scythe arrangement like that on the
front of the tank-to cut through
"barbed wire" entanglements of the
Greeks. This Oldest war correspond
ent-as every schoOlboy reader of
Caesar knows-spares no details of
the war marvels of the day.
Likewise the correspondents who
told how Colonel Jones of the Mas
sachusetts volunteers captured the
Winan's steam gun. 'Gt is ball proof,
can discharge from 100 to 500 balls
per minute, and is destined to inau-
gurate a new era in the science of
war" After all, the real novelty of
modern warfare is the censor's blue
pencil.
