FEARS TERM IN JAIL
MAY BE PUNISHMENT
YOUNG MILLIONAIRE NEVIN HAS
CASE CONTINUED
Judge Declares Trial for Violation of
Speed Ordinance Will Be Held
Next Wednesday and No More De-
lays Will Be Permitted

BILLY" Nevin, society favoritc and
young millionaire, who is charged with
violating the automobile speed ordi-
nance for the third time, appeared be-
fore Judge Rose yesterday morning and
begged for another continuance of his
case. The young man was accompanied
by a strange attorney. Nevn explained
that the absence of his regular legal
counsel was due to the fact that, that
individual had a case before the super.
ior court.
Judge Rose stated clearly to dashing
young NeVin that yesterdays continu-
ance would be the last time that a
continuance would be granted in his
present legal difficulty.
This case will be tried next Wednes-
day morning whether you are here or
not, Mr.. Nevin, and l want you to
understand that"
Should Judge Rose carry out his as
sertions regarding the punishment for
third offenders, and il Nevin is found
guilty of the present charge the young
millionaire will not only have to pay
a fine, but serve a Jail term.
BY those who are intimately ac-
quainted with Nevin 1t is said that he
is gradually beginning to fear getting
a Jail sentence and is delaying his case
for the purpose of taking big falr'
out of the ordinance, which prosecut-
ing attorney has said will not stand a
contest in the courts.

way TO CONVICT
IS BY EVIDENCE

New York, March 24.-Refcrring -
Public opinion of absolute hysteria a.
found today in the city, state and ma
tion." District Attorney Jerome spoke
Of the return of Andrew Hamilton at
a testimonial banquet of the Delta
Epsilon fraternity last night as fol-
lows:
TT was only a few days ago when
the newspapers were clamoring for
Hamilton to be brought back and Inn
prisoned or electrocuted or punished in
some way. He did come back. He did
1t bravely and rightly, ana struck true
according to my own mind. But now
the man for whose blood they were
crying out is made hero and his UNI
corroborated word Is taken to brand
men. honored men of the community,
whom you and trust in.
ALTON B. Parker believe ne ran
for president once-went down south
and said that the way to convict Is -
convict. He said that there was nets
grand jury that would not bring In an
indictment. 1t is because there Is one
public official who will not permit -
indictment without evidence. So much
for cheap claptrap even II It comae
from the Sage of Esopus.'
II am going to see that those who
violate the criminal law shall be pun
ished, but the way to convict n ~
evidence. I was informed the other
day by a director of the Mutual Life
that $100,000,o0o of policies have
lapsed. These were policies Of tho
poor, who had been Influenced by the
wild outcries of the newspapers. Those
are as solvent as the Unit
ed States but these poor people. clerks
and laboring people. were scared by the
incessant yapping of the hounds Of the
yellow press"

from them.
Will Reduce Ores Here.
The Idaho Reduction works has
shown Its faith in the mines Of the sur
rounding country to establish a large
reduction works at Charleston. This
plant is especially designed to save the
copper values OF the mines on the
lower Snake river which are known
to contain great value. and which will
pay from the date the ore can be
transported to the plant.
Boats are now the only means of
transportation from the mine to Clark
ston and the ore cannot be shipped ex-
cept when the water is high enough to
allow boats to run on the upper river.
One mine, the Ohadi. will be in a posi-
ton to send In seventy-fiv tons Of
ore per week as soon as the transport
tation can be obtained.
Build Road to Coal Mines.
OF the mines tributary to Lewiston
the great copper lodges Of the lower
Snake and the Grand Ronde coal
property will have the greatest effect
upon Lewiston. The coal company is
already planning to build an electric
line from Lewiston to its holdings and
Is looking forward to a time in the
near future when only Grand Ronde
coal will be used in this territory, and
over a great amount Of tributary ter
ritory for that matter, as the supply
Of coal Is almost unlimited. The
company holds $500 acres of land and
on nearly all Of it a ledge Of about
forty feet In depth can be encountered.
The Snake river mining district is
mostly copper properties, although the
ores in many cases show silver, gold
and oftentimes lead values. There are
no properties that have reached the
stage that they can be termed mines.
but many Of them are far enough ad-
vanced to absolutely guarantee that
they will be dividend payers as soon as
the proper facilities can be had for
handling the ore.
Mineral Wealth Vast in Extent.
The ore is mostly of low grade, but
the quantity is large enough to make
1t an industry for years to come
Among the better known mines Of this
locality are the Ohadi which won a
prize at the Portland exposition for the
excellent showing of ore; the Yellow
Boy. Eureka, Fargo, Imnaha and

Nearly ~ many cattle we're lost on

Mr.. Hall will be in town until Mon

that Lewiston has improved great

The Buffalo Hump and Elk City dis
trict are both in Lewiston's territory.
The Jumbo, the principal mine OF the

great promise, and only lack proper
methods of saving the values to make a
