DUBLIN. July 23. Sin Fein leaders

the British offer. The general senti
ment is that a resumption of hostilities
is preferahle to potential home rule

lieved that De Valcra will reject the
offer if it is kept in its present form.
The sole hope is the unwillingness of
both factions to resume warfare.

Northcliffe, who arrived in New York

CHICAGO, July 23. The indicted
governor of Illinois, Len Small, is be
ing guarded by state troops. He arriv

days' grace from the court before a
sheriffs posse, will attempt his arrest.
Adjutant General Dickson stated he

IBy Uniled Press
CHICAGO. July 23 In an address

controlled by the most vicious ring in
the state, and they know I am inno

ROME, July 23. The Fascisti Com
munist horrors at Sarzana threaten the
overthrow of the Italian cabinet. There
is a report today that twenty Facisti
were murdered by hospital orderlies

groups to vote against the cabinet pro
gram, which will result in the cabinet's
fall, it is believed.

One of the most talked of screen :
plays of the day is shown at the Grand
this evening when Lionel Barrymore
takes the lead in the "Master Mind."
The play deals with so many prob
'.lems and the theme is so broad that it
has called forth criticism from all of
those interested in the best of motion
pictures.
Barrymore takes the role of a super
man and throughout this rendition gives
example of his wonderful acting. The
Kvidently that Holstein hide that
Sammy Arentz waved before the house
committee on tariffs did not work the
charm, for it is noted that the Fordney
tariff bill comes out with hides still on
the free list. Possibly the Cicero from
Nevada lacked the co-operation of the
proposed! commissioner from Nevada,
who, it is expected, at no distant day is
to round up all legislation favorable to
each district of Nevada and thus save
the waving of pelts before the com
mittees, senators and representatives.
Another trouble was that the pelt was

9oosting for Pittman, which puts an
end to this source of worryment to the
Republicans and clears the decks for
tlie Democrats. Then Governor Boyle
had been urged to have a measure tak
en by the political tailor for the toga.
"Nay, nay," he says, "enough is
enough," and he is declared out of the
field of possibilities. This practically
clears the way for Pittman and by the
tenor of the Democratic press he is
paving the way for next year's cam
paign. There is nothing like an early
start considering the distance to be
covered in Nevada.
While talking with the governor re
cently he seemed somewhat peeved over
Latest telegraphic news In theAppeal the item that has been going the rounds
that he has been doing work for the
Buckeley Wells people. There is some
truth in the report &nd some fiction.
The fiction end is the work portion, as
what he has rendered in the way of ser
vice has been gratuitous, inasmuch as
he furnished his vast store of data from
personal gatherings to this big operat
ing concern. Boyle will take no job
during his tenure of office, as he ex
plained there might be a day when he
would have to tell the operating com
pany where to "head in." It was stated
that hfs plans after official retirement
are made, and that he will locate in
Nevada and take up his chosen profes
sion.
Colonel Scrugham and Governor
Boyle both have hands full and if they
had other appendages they would like- ,
wise be weighted down. This is in the
Boulder Canyon damsite on the Colo
rado river, which during the year has
sprung into such prominence that all
the money in the world is trying to tie
it up. New York, London, Los Angeles
and Eostonites are concerned in that
little old pile of rocks that nearly fill
the gorge "Where the Silver Colorado
Wends Its Way." The Edison company
asks to be let in ; Los Angeles files an
application for 600.000 horse power, the

reclamation uepaximem says u lias mc
upper hand and Nevada and Arizona
will have to be consulted as the dam
site rests on the herders of the two
sovereign states. It betting was not
against the law most of the money
would go to Los Angeles to win, as
that City of Angels, moneyed and oth
erwise, has a habit of getting what it
is after. In order to make it good the
angels apply for every horsepower on
the creek, taking in the colts and all.
They don't leave even a pony power to
Nevada, Arizona, or any of the other
states through which this red-colored
river flows. Things have been hurried
by this action and Scrugham has been
stepping sidewise the past several days.
He is getting into training for the fight
of his life. The handling of a depart
ment of war during the late unpleas
antness was mere child's play com
pared with what is ahead, as that little
old 600,000 horsepower is the biggest
power-site in America and it is located
one-half in the war-bortt state of Ne
vada. Here's hoping that the colonel
wallops the stuffing out of the Angels
and makes whoever gets that damsite
pony up a ttamn site more tnan tney

but when he goes after the federal at
