JUDGE TABER MAKES
EMPHATIC DENIAL

The following item ap-
pears in this mornings Reno
Journal:
Political gossip had it
last night that a man taking
no active part in politics
here at the present time, is
to be considered as a pos
sible appointee for the va
cancy left open by the death
of Senator Francis G. New
lands.
at was reported late last
night that friends Of A. A.
Heer, Reno attorney, were
supporting him as a COM
promise candidate
Judge Taber of Elko and
other prominent men of
Elko and Eureka were said
to be behind the movement.
Governor Boyle stated
last night at Carson City
that there were certain
questions to be considered,'
and that he wanted to give
everyone a fair chance"
Judge Taber today indig-
nantly denied the truth of
the above article so far as it
concerned him. AS a men,
ber of the ElkO County Bar
Association he indOrsed the
candidacy of Charles B.
Henderson, and he wants it
thoroughly understood that
he was sincere in his action
and that he never considered
any action in the matter
other than that which might
help Mr. Henderson's cause
He brands the report as pure
political chicanerX;
Judge Taber's denial Of
the statement is entirely un
necessary with those whC
know him. Having endorsed
a candidate for any position
there would not be a chance
Of his hedging.

HURLs.DEFIANCE
At MINERS FOES
JOHN P. WHITE CREATES sENsA-
TON AT CONVENTION
PENALTY CLAUSE IS SUSTAINED
The Much Debated Washington Agree.
nent Was Ratified. BY ,overwhel-
ming vote.--Kansas Leader
Accused Of Double DEALING

Indianapolis, Jan. 21-After two
days OF string debate, the United
Mine Workers of America, in biennial
convention by an Overwhelming vote
ratified the Washington agreement OF
October 6, which granted substantial
wage advances to bituminous coal
miners and provides penalties for vic.
lation Of contracts.
The agreement became effective on
Nov. list, last, and remains in force
until April /, 1920, unless the war ends
before that date, in which event it
automatically terminates.
White Defies Foes
With the great hall packed with
miners and others the discussion OF
the Washington agreement, continued
all day. John~P. White of Iowa, for
mer president of the union, and now
assistant to Fuel Administrators Gar
field, consumed an hour in defense
OF the miners representatives who "a
greed to the penalty clause. He hurl.
ed defiance at those who opposed the
agreement and charged that the fight
against its approval was in reality a
we'll organized attack on himself rath-
er than an assault on the penalty
clause. .. .-... ..A 49,. ....'
There was nothing in the clause
said. White, which struck the vitals
of the organization. But on the other
hand the provision was in sonsonance
with the laws of the union. W.. Il is
essetial to the success and perpetuity
Of the United Mine Workers. he said.
HoWat's Double Course
White arraigned Alex Howat, presi-
dent of the Kansas miners and the
leader of the opposition. He said there
had been 270 wild cat" strikes in
Kansas that had not been. authorized.
He drew attention to the remarks
made yesterday by Howat, that if he
had anything to'do with il, the Kansas
operators would not have been per-
mitted to increase the price of coal
to absorb the miners advance. Then
White created a sensation by reading
a letter sent to him as DR.. Garfeld's
assistant by Howat, in which the lat
ter appealed to White to use his in
fiuence with the Fuel Administrator
to increase the operators allowance
above As cents a ton. White wanted
to know how Howat Teconciled his
statement to the miners with his letter
to the fuel administration.
Delegate Pascoye Pasco of Illinois
said the penalty clause was an insult
to the miners, and a Michigan dele
gate asserted the fuel administrator
was no friend of the workers.
Miners Oppose MiItarism
Resolutions adopted by the cOnven-
ton declared the miners oppose mill
tarism and do not wish to saddle it
on this country after the war;"
Vehement denials We're made that
refusal of the miners to work had re-
suited in the coal shortage and result
tant curtailment of industry. All blame
was placed on the car shortage.
Following an address by Mother
Jones, who styled herself lightweight
years young and full of hell as ever"
the delegates adopted resolutions call
ing on union members to make fire.

Herald:-Owing to the strict cen

that, would be. of interest to the read
ers, but will make use of the limita-
tons and write as much as possible.
We are located in very quaint and
picturesque town in France. 1t is
one of those which is often pictured
in magazines and papers. Many in
teresting and historical places and
things arc to be. seen. Among the
foremost Of these is the cathedral,
which is one of those mammoth stone
buildings that are to be found
throughout the old countries. It's
building dates back. several centur-
les. 1t has one large chapel in which
are buried the bishops of the past.
There are several monuments of ia
nous men which are many years old.
There are many other buildings Of
which l cannot write. ~, 49,. ~,
j..h Learning French. y
One OF the most humorous things
here is to watch Sammy" trying to
converse with the natives. He car
ries a little book in which is given
English phrases with French transla-
,tions. Sammy" in order to make
his meaning known, points out the
French to the native and then tries
to initiate the Frenchman in his pro-
nunciation. Sometimes he runs
across some tongue twisters but he
is an adept student and it won't be
long before he will be able to talk
without the aid of his book ~
The French and the Sammies have
become very friendly and the Ameri-
can soldier is extended every cour-
tesy possible. Whenever the Amer
lean troops return there will always
be a warm spot in the heart of every
man for the little French "poilu" and
his family who have sacrificed every
thing for the love of their native land.
