holding Its breath in terror.
Half the city is In darkness. In

RENO, Jan. 27.—State Engineer
Frank R. Nicholas was in the south
when an article accusing him of un
fairness in the Duckwater Creek
matter was published, and the state
ment was made that certain resi
dents of Nye county had asked an
investigation of the affair. He could
not be located, ana taerefore a state
ment could not be secured, but his
Reno friends declare that tney are
sure that it is simply a misunder
standing. They say further that the
matter was given publicity for the
purpose of killing off his chances for
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor of Nevada, rie has been en
dorsed by several papers for this
office. Today iur. Nicholas said that
the Dacbwater story as printed was
false.
In September 1906, Joe Tognmt,
[ a resident of Duckwater, filed an
application for 800 inches of water
from Big Warm Springs, despite the
fact that the courts had decided that
the water was already appropriated.
States Engineer Thurteh refused to
grant the application. The matter
was under investigation when Thur
tell went out of office, succeeded by
Nicholas. Immediately after that, it
is claimed, Nicholas granted the per
mit to Tognini, despite the protest
of the ranchers using the water. The
protesting parties brought suit and
the matter was submitted to the
courts some time ago. The parties
opposed to Nicholas in the matter—
Mrs. Bertha Rich, Ia)nisa Irwin,
lruogene Irwin, W. F. Mendes, Chas.
Delflon, Paul Irwin and Ralph Irwin
—claim that Nicholas acted unfairly,
and they ask for an investigation.

FOR PUR
Defines Position Clearly
and Firmly in Keeping
With Platform Pledges
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 27.—
President Taft today set his beak
against the wall, bade defiance to
foe, to too solicitous friends and the
country at large and announced an
ultin>8tium that began with the
statement that a seond term is on
indifferent matter to hfcm and that
bs IS not looking for ft. but thdt
while he is president he is going to
"do something." Thgt something,
the president made elefar to regular
and insurgent Republicans, to to car
ry out the pledge of the Republican
party, and his test of Republicanism
will be a vote for tboae measures
that he regards as pledged by tge
party in the party platform and the
last campaign:
The limitation of the use of the
Injunction power by the federal
courts.
The enactment of amendments to
the railway rate law and those to the
laws which regulate interstate com
merce.
The establishment of a system of
postal savings banks.
Separate statehood for Arizona
and New Mexico.
The president mentioned two Im
portant bits of legislation as debat
able and consequently no test of Re
publicanism. He submitted thsit
these two .matters were questions on
which there could be reasonable
differences of opinion. These he
mentioned as:
Conservation of the natural re
sources.
A federal incorporation act.
Representative Hayes of Cali
fornia; Murdock of Kansas, and
Gardner, of Massachusetts, were
given this information today, but
what they did not get was the other
part of the president’s ultimatum,
when boiling under the Bplit in the
party, opposition to some of his
measures and wagontoads of gratui
tous advice from well meaning
friends all over the country, the
president shoved his hands deep in
his trousers pockets, lost the famous
smile and stated the case concisely.
The president believes that many
men who are making trouble within
his own party are honest in their be
liefs, but that they do not realize the
responsibility on him as leader, of
the party and as president to “do
things.” They expect him to enact
laws without party, whereas, under
the American systm. laws can be
enacted only by party. They expect
the president thinks, that he can do
things by "his good right hand."
ENGLISH SITUATION MIXED.
Outcome of Elections Is l*ut in Doubt
by Lftte Results.
LONDON, .Ian. 27.—Gains made
by the unionists in yesterday's elec
tions were much smaller than ex
pected, and should the same ratio
prevail in the contests today and to
morrow, when with the exception of
half a dozen scattered constituencies
the elections will be concluded, there
is a possibility that the Liberals
alone may have a slightly larger
membership In the new House of
Commons than the I'nionists alone.
The numbers, however, are so
close that legislation will be effect
able only with the consent of the
Irish Nationalists and Laborites, and
it is impossible to predict with any
confidence the future course of
events.
