Attorney Baldwin denied the asser-
tion Of his private aims ana declared
he was ther to do his duty. although
It was awfully disasreeable for him
to be there at all. but he was there
because Mr.. Kimball had asked him
to be there. After Attorney Robertson
had remarked that he had known Mr..
Baldwin some 10 or IL years and this
was the first time he had known him
to appear through the dark end Of an
avenging angels tunnel. the court an
nounced that he much preferred the
presence of the prosecuting attorney
who was elected to represent the peo-
pie, but that he knew Mr.. Baldwin
had been invited to attend and the
case would go on.
Alex Winston broke into the COM
edy long enough to declare that he
represented Mr.. Howell Peel. one OF
the. purors. and that Mr.. Peel had
very particular business which
wouldn't permit OF his attending to a
police court case. whereupon Mr.. Peel
was excused and the attorneys agreed
to shift the burden onto the should

Attorney. Baldwin again spoke OF
his unwillingness to 20 to trial and
how he didn't want to be forced by
the Judge to go to trial. and Attorney

the Judge was there with his forcing
machine and ordered the case pro-
oeeded with.

May Enter Reno.

The Sacramento Bee comments
thusly on the probability of the
Western Pacific making Reno a
terminal point:
The advent of the Western Pa
ciic would mean some lively
bidding for the lumber and ice
business of the Truckee section
and of Sierra county.
It seems that. in one way, the
new line is to hurt Sacramento
a little in a business way.
In order to get a larger share
of the Nevada business it is be-
lieved the Western Pacific will
make Reno a terminal point for
freight business and by so doing
il will practically compel the
Southern Pacific to do likewise.
This will enable Reno to COM
pete with Sacramento for whole
sale business in a great expanse
of territory. At present that
towns several railroads do her
very little good for the reason
that it is a great deal cheaper
for retail dealers to get their
supplies from Sacramento or

of the freight rates.

WELLS ON WAR PATH.
Making 1t Lively for Boards of Re-
gents Who Over Charge.

State Auditor Wells has made a new
ruling with regard to- allowing the ex-
penses of the members of the boards of
regents of the various state institu-
tions and of the state text book COM
mission. 1t is that receipts must here
after be filed for all expenses claimed.
The members of the various boards
of regents have been rcIaiming mileage
at the rate of ten cents per mile and
they have always drawn that amount.
Some time ago Auditor Wells, under a
law providing that they should receive
three dollars day and actual ex-
expenses to the actual railroad fare
but when the question was referred to
Attorney General Coleman the latter
held that an old law giving the regents
ten cents per mile had never been re-
pealed and they could collect that
amount.
Recently Assistant Auditor Nation
in looking through the act making the
appropriations for these boards, found
the following prOviso relative to allow
ing expense bills:
Provided, that no voucher for ex-
penses of any member of the several
boards or the commissions mentioned
in Section l of this act shall be paid
until such member shall submit to the
auditor of state proper receipts for
such expenditures.
The members of the boards cannot
of course. show receipts for travelling
expenses in excess of the amount they
actually expend, and those who travel
on annual passes cannot show receipts
at all.
The boards named in the act are the
trustees of the state charitable institu-
tions, the regents of the State uni
versity. the regents of the State Agri-
cultural college, the regents of the
State normal, the directors of the pen
itentiary, the managers of the Dodge
City Soldiers home, the managers Of
the Hutchinson reformatory and the
state text book commission The trus-
tees of the state charitable institu-
lions. however, receive a regular sal
airy of $4,000 a year out of which they
pay their own expenses. All the others
receive per diem and expenses.
Notices are being sent to the mem
hers of these boards that. they must
hereafter file receipts with their ex-
Dense accounts.
