Contribution to a Political Fund Stirs Ire of Con troller Davis. Special Dispatch to The Call. RENO, Oct. 3.— Sam P. Davis. State Controller of Nevada and ex-officio In surance Commissioner of the State. to- Gay revoked the license of ! the New York Life Insurance Company, thereby prohibiting that company from trans acting further business in the State of Nevada. This will not annul the pol icies of the company, which have al ready been issued in the State, but pro hibits any more policies from being is fcucd. The record of the business done in this State by the New York Life reaches an enormous figure, as shown by the report of the Controller. Dur ing last year the company Issued 1173 policies to citizens in the State, the policies amounting to more than $3, 000,000. The amount pcid in to the company by the policy holders is given a* $103,457. The company has offices in . Reno, Carson, Virginia City, Coldfield. Sparks, Wiaemucca, Lovelock, Carlin, Elko. Verdi and Golconda, and agents in all the sjiialler towns of tfte" State. The action of the Controller, was taken after due investigation of the af fairs «f the company.. In a letter re ceived by him from President McCall it was acknowledged that the company had donated money for the campaign fund used in the last general election. It was the opinion of the Controller that, in justice to the citizens of the State and in order to prevent the fur ther collection of money by the com pany to be used for corrupt and il legal purposes, the only alternative left was to prohibit the transaction of any further business by revoking the li cense. The decision of the Controller is contained in the following letter to the president of the New York Life Com pany: "John McCalL "President New York Life. "Pending an investigation of the cor rupt management and the fraudulent exposures of the disposals of the funds intrusted to your company and so long as yourself and George Perkins retain offices of trust in the management of the New York Life, the license of the company to do business- in the State of Nevada is hereby revoked. Upon the advice of change of management and satisfactory proof of honest manage ment the license will be reissued. "SAM P. DAVIS,: .i "Controller and Ex-Offlclo Insurance Commissioner of Nevada."

Desire to End the Grasping Methods of Power Company. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 3.— Governor Par dee and the State Board s cf Prison Di rectors have decided to force to a 'legal issue the ownership of the water that flows through the canal on the Folsom prison grounds. To effect this, purpose gpeedily a conference was held this after noon in the Governor's office, at which there ,were present Governor Pardee, Prison' Directors Wilkins and Felton, At torney General U. S. Webb, W. M. Good win, private counsel for the directors, and Warden Archibald Yell. After a \u25a0 general consultation it was agreed tnat the case now pending In the courts, and which has been hanging fire for several years, should be pushed ahead as rapidly as possible" in order that the mooted question as to the ownership . of the water may be settled once and for aIL In speaking of ..the. result of .the private conference one of those present said:. . "It is understood the Btate- is- to have the '\u25a0\u25a0. exclusive use: of the first. 7:33 feetf of fall, and." after the - State Is done with the water It is to -flow down the canal and be used by the ,i-"olsom Water, Power:-; and -. Electric : Company. Several years ago- when the, water would get low .in. the river, the. electric company started the practice of "closing; the gates and allowing. the water to back up against the dam until there, was a sufficient vol ume for several; hours' run, 'when the company would again open the gates and use the water, but. during the time the gates were so closed, the State was .de barred from the use of ahy.wate^- at all, with the result that all of its machinery came to a standstill. "When* the 'prison /authorities objected and opened the gates to allow the water to flow the electrical company placed " a padlock' on the gates.' 1 Then " the prison authorities instructed the . Warden to break the padlock, and he did so. The electric company then obtained an in junction in the courts prohibiting, the Prison Directors from further interference with'the gates, -and sinee -that time the matter has remained dormant in the courts. '\u25a0 • - "We have now decided to. insist on the ! case being- heard, and- we will do all that lies in our power. to push.it to a decision. At to-day's session \ there was nothing said about the attempt said to have been made by Warden' Yell to take possession of the dam, for nothing of that kind was ever done. What we want; Is to- know, our exact standing in the case. Either we are entitled to use this water or else we are not. In the meantime .the- prison grounds are in darkness half the time because there is no water to generate electricity, and- the machinery' is still be cause there is no power to operate it, and this state of affairs cannot continue." \u25a0 Governor Pardee said to-night in refer ence to to-day's conference: \u25a0 • - "We have decided to push the issue as to the ownership of the water, through the courts as rapidly as It can be done. What we want' is to know our status in the matter; and this can only be decided in the courts. If we are entitled to the use of this water we want to know it and we want' to use it..-- • \u25a0 , "The State has expended over $500,000 In constructing this dam, and now it cannot use its own property. I understand that the electric company is anxious \u25a0. to com promise the matter, and' it was to a cer tain extent the ; purpose of the meeting this afternoon to decide If such a proposi tion should be considered. "Eventually we agreed to accept no compromise at all, but to carry the mat ter through the courts as rapidly as pos sible in order to ascertain' our exact status in the matter. We need power -to generate lights for the prison grounds at night, as during the » low stage \u25a0of the American River when the* gates .have been chut we have. been obliged to use lo comotive headlights to ; illuminate the grounds at night, and have at times been obliged to shut down the power-house and our machinery altogether. For this reason we want a legal decision, and we want it as soon as we can get it." LITTLE lOWA GIRL m& CO^DIITS SUICIDE Twelve- Year-Old Miss D^riiiks Carbolic Acid Wheii Reprimanded.

"It is difficult to understand how a body\ of women, animated with the deepest feelings of patriotic loyalty, can preserve an allegiance to a dead Government" — such were the words of Mrs. Victor Montgomery, president of the California Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. ' With all due respect to Mrs. Mont gomery's opinion, it is not difficult to understand it — not if one knows the texture of the Southern head and heart. And never was better chance offered to know them than now, when several hundred daughters of Dixie — and a few sons thrown in — are dwellers In our city. Yesterday the real business of the annual was begun in the marble room of the Palace, where 16 will convene every morn in sr and even ing this week, with the social features sandwiched in between.. Yesterday's early session was pri marily one of iDeechmakins. Prayer was" offered by the Bight Rev. Bishop Nichols. He was followed by Mrs. Sel den. S. Wright, founder ot,J£*JL. JO. C, in California, who made a pretty little speech of welcome. * v * ! It bad been hoped that Mayor Schmltz would appear — as per program© — -to de liver over , the oft-given \u25a0 keys of the city, but he came not. . Neither did the Governor, who ' pleaded press of busi ness. That the delegates from far away would be amply sure they were wel come, and thrice welcome, Mrs. Alfred Hunter Voorhles gave a clever address, • representing the "hostess chapter" — the Albert Sidney Johnston. ' Then there must needs be a welcome from the State, and Mrs. Victor Mont gomery, the State president, discharged the obligation charmingly; being a very pretty woman, and with a char acteristic Southern voice, the talk was interesting, although the delegates had by this time got quite used to being; welcomed. Mrs. Augustine Smythe, the national president of the organization, responded to this potpourri of welcome in pretty. Southern fashion. Then followed quite the most inter esting episode of the convention thus far — the presentation to the U D. C. of. a portrait of Its founder. Mrs. C Merri weather Goodlet The picture, a well-drawn, tender likeness of the well-beloved, leader, stood upon an easel, set In a heavy gold frame, .with an inscription upon it telling the story, of "Its origin. Over the portrait was draped a silk en Confederate flag, which was raised at a signal from Mra. Voorhlea by her two little grandchildren, the \ babes of I Mrs. Malcolm Henry. In " caressing fashion the flag was then hung over the 'frame, to remain several hours In the marble-room for inspection. UUI- ' mately it Is believed that the picture will be bung permanently in the Con federate Memorial Museum in Rich* mond, Va. -Many Incident* of human Interest oc curred during the morning. Including the enthusiastic honor conferred upon Mrs. William Prichard. daughter of th* famous commander, Albert . Sidney Johnston, and to old Captain M,ay of the Ninth Alabama Regiment, a grizzled old fellow, who went to the> front with 106 man and returned with six. There was a tear and a cheer for, him, this old Confederate, whose heart still thrilled at memory of the Lost Cause. \u25a0.:- \u25a0 : Luncheon— which was seemingly tha most interesting feature of the seasoa — was served in the maple-room, and a pretty sight it was. with a troupe ol pretty maids and young matrons look ing after the comfort of the city's fal? guests.
