Nevada, Aug. 15.-A daring forgery
was perpetrated here Thursday by q
young man from near Ontario. He
claimed to be William H Zenor, of that
place, and negotiated loan of 81, 900 on
eighty acres of land from j. A. Fitch
patrick, a veteran abstracter and the
republican nominee for state senator.
He carried the deeds and other papers
in his pocket and answered the ques-
tons put to him without embarrass-
ment, and, in short, was as cool and
collected as if nothing unusual were
satisfactorily and Zenor drew his
money al one of the banks. leaving di-
rectly afterwards for Des Moines, first
stopping at Ames The forgery might
have remained undiscovered for some
time had not some little Irregularities
in the abstract appeared under subse-
auent closer investigation. Inquiry
then brought to light other difficulties
and it was learned that in his haste to
set out of town he had allowed his
check TO be paid $500 short. 1t has now
developed that the young mans rea
name is Frank Zenor, that he had
stolen the deeds and papers concerning
the land from the owner and that by
Signing the name of William H. Zenor
he committed forgery. He is ac-
ccmpanied by a companion of about his
own age, 25 years. A large reward is
offered for his arrest. Sheriff Banks
has a good clue and hopes to make a
capture soon.

The speculative condition as given yes

The advance seemed justified by the
congested state of the market, but when

Galveston Tribune.


An amendment to the antitrust bill as
1t passed the senate prohibits associations
OF newspapers, news bureaus or press as
sociations from refusing their service TO
more than one newspaper in a city or from
playing dictator in any respect so as to
smother competition. The exclusive fran
chiee is a recognized principle in all press
associations. as It Is in many other con-
Germs, such as patent rights agencies or
new inventions Of one sort or another.
The present amendment aims at state of
affairs which many lawyers thought was
outlawed by the old Texas statute, but the
law was never invoked and consequently
was never tested. Possibly the pending
bill If passed will never be invoked, since
the newspaper situation in Texas does not
invite new ventures. Each city has all the
papers it can stand and any new venture
must he launched upon the principle Of
survival OF the Attest.
But newspapers can not object to the
law. II the principle OF trust prohibition
is sound IL should apply to newspapers as
well as TO sugar, because the newspaper
nowadays Is a commercial, social and pu-
litical necessity which outranks any ex-
cept creature requirements, and the mo-
ment any city affords a suifcielt field for
more than one newspaper in the morning
or the evening field 1t Is entitled to the
benefit OF the treest competition.
As mabter Of fact, however, most news
paper assocations--the Associated Press
for instance, against which this amendment
is almed--are cooperative institutions
which do not seek to earn dividends but
make only such charges as will carry the
service, or, 10 put 1t more precisely, they
assess their members and clients only what
and carry no surplus except for emergen-
cies. An extraordinary event like the
Spanish war requires an additional tax
which Is abated rs soon as the cost OF
newsgathering is reduced
Furthermore, II is the rule OF such as
soclations to develop papers wherever they
can, for every new paper taking the SER
vice reduces the cost to each. At the same
time 1t Is their policy not to encourage
disastrous competition which would wreck
e'ood paper in attempting to build up a
new one.
SIN, a general news institution. like the
Associated Press, in the nature Of things.
becomes monopoly and no member or
client ought to be permitted to enjoy ex-
elusive favors which operate to the public
derlment, and II such a condition should
ever develop In Texas II would be wise
public policy to correct It by such leglsia-
tive prohibition as Is now proposed
The press OF Texas is asking for lust
libel law and II should not object to max
ing itself amenable to the general rule OF
antitrust against any press monopoly that
may arise.
