SMITHS CASE
BEFORE THE BAR
SEVERE CRITICISMS OF HILO AT
TORNEY's ACTIONS IN THE KO-
REAN CASES

The Bar Association received two re-
ports on the Carl Smith matter yes
terday afternoon. The committee to
whom the matter had been referred
consisted of Judge Perry Judge Stan
ley and d. L. Wilmington Perry and
Stanley signed one report and with
ington a supplementary one. The AS
scciation decided to have the reports
printed and distributed among mem
bers, and will discuss the matter at a
meeting to be held in three weeks. The
main question at issue appeared to be
whether the Association should merely
adopt the reports, with their criticisms
of Smith, or should expel him from the
! Association as guilty of unprofessional
conduct. The Perry Stanley report
was opposed to expulsion Of the attor-
ney.
1t appeared from the report that the
| defense of Smith was first that he had
written the letter to Milverton, which
was the basis of the criticisms, very
hastily and second that he had the inn
preston that it was a personal and con-
fidential letter. The letter in question
revealed that Smiths Korean clients
had admitted their guilt, and it ex-
pressed Smiths opinion that they
should be hanged. The report of the
committee was severe in it's comments
on Smiths defense. The following are
the main paragraphs:
I'VE believe it to be one of the fund
amental and most important princi-
pies of law and rules of our profession
that all communications made by a
client to his attorney, during the pen
dency of the relation Of attorney and
| client, concerning the matter which is
the subject of the relation, and upon
which professional advice and aid are
being sought, are confidential and priv
LEGGED and can not be revealed by the
attorney without the consent of the
client. The seal of secrecy does not
| cease with the termination of the liti-
cation or other business in which the
communications were made, nor even

with the death of the client, but con-
tinues forever. Upon the facts above
stated, Mr.. Smiths letter is, it seems
to u.s. violation of this principle. The
materiality and grave Importance of
the communications which were admit
tedly made and disclosed are obvious.
Again Mr.. Smith urges that at the
time of receiving and answering Mr..
Milverton's letter, he was overwhelmed
with engagements; that within five
minutes after reading the letter re-
questing his views he dictated the re-
ply and filed the letter. and that Mr..
Milverton's letter created at the time,
the impression upon him that Milver-
ton, as one who had been conscientious
in his prosecution of the Koreans and
believed that they should suffer death,
was writing to him for a possible stand
point and facts which might serve as a
check on his own views and that in
reading Milverton's letter the fact es-
capped him that the letter itself showed
that the information was being re-
guessed for the use of the executive.
The committee regrets that it must
confess doubt as to whether in this
entirely frank with the committee.
Neither Mr.. Milverton's letter nor Mr.
Smiths letter contain any of the usual
indicia of being private or personal
letters. Both contain the usual ndicia
of being official letters.
"In view of the finding of absence OF
realization at the time of writing the
letter that an infraction of the ethics
of the profession was being thereby
committed and of the high standing
heretofore had by Mr.. Smith as MEM
Der of the bar we suggest that eXpul-
sion from the Association would be too
severe course and recommend that
no further steps, other tina nan adop-
ton of this report be taken in the mat
ter. This recommendation is subject
however, to the ruling of the Associa-
ton as to whether the more lenient
course is permissible under our consti-
tuition. If the Association shall be of
the opinion that Section of the Con-
stitution is mandatory, it will, Of
course, follow the procedure there pre-
scribed."
There was some very severe criticism
of Smith in the discussion yesterday
afternoon. The decision to print the
report was on a motion by Judge High
ton. A motion by Thayer that only
members of the Association be allowed
to see them was heavily voted down.

MANHATTAN JUMPING JACK SOLD

the capital stock, reserving the
right TO work one lease on a stretch of

two weeks repeated efforts have been
made to buy the property, but the

tons of medium grade, having value of
from $50 to 500 to the ton, are going

About one year ago McClelland gave
a long term option TO Booth on 7.000
shares of Jumbo stock at Sl.40 per
share. but later the phenomenal rise in
the price of the securities caused the
former to revoke his agreement on the
ground that Booth had not lived up TO
the terms of the contract. At the time
MeClelland withdrew from the compact
Jumbo stock was selling around $50
and Booth naturally, was 10th to
acknowledge that he had not lived up
to the letter of the agreement. When
the option expired about ten days ago
Booth was prepared to take up the
stock but McClelland refused to accept
the money. Threats and counter threats
followed and it appeared probable that
legal entanglements would result in a
long and expensive battle in the courts.
However pacific measures at last pre-
vailed and the stock is now out of
escrow and a portion of it, at least, in
the possession of McClelland.
At one stage of the controversy it
was alleged that if the stock passed
from the possession of McClelland into

He intends to make a protracted visit

while values are somewhat erratic at
times, some days assaying $50 to the

John Y. McKane and associates. The
allegation is denied by Mr. Taylor who
states that at no time have his interests
been in jeopardy. In any event the
control now rests firmly in the hands of
himself and associates and he is pre-
pairing to take up the development of
the property on a more extensive scale.
To that end the Jumbo estate is being
crosscut from the 500-foot, or bottom
level of the main shaft, with view of
opening up and exploring the ledge
which in the upper workings has yield
ed such generous gold returns Three
shifts of miners are to be put on and
development pushed as rapidly as
geological conditions will permit. Work
is likewise to be resumed in the levels
above the 500-foot point, and it seems
probably that within a short time the

high rank among the shippers.
An ample supply of water has been
developed for the experimental mill be-
ing erected on the property and the last
consignment of machinery arrived in

expect to have the plant in operation

growth and wealth of golden oppor-
tunities Southern Nevada is a won
derful section of a wonderful and his
toric state; a state whose second era
of prosperity is but just dawning.
Nevada is destined to become great not
alone because of her mines, but by the
reclamation of vast tracts of desert
waste which are to be made fruitful and
fit for agricultural pursuits through the
efforts of the federal government. Min
ing and agricultural are in measure
analogous occupations in Nevada. BY
that I mean the rapidly increasing pop
ulation OF the mining communities will
afford a constantly enhancing market
for fruits and vegetables, and that the
reclaimed acreage of the state will be
the common point for their culture and
distribution
Mining will in the future as in the
past be the principal source of revenue
of the citizens of Nevada and | am con-
vinced that at no point will the precious
metal values be more prolific and per-
manent than in this immediate section.
/ am pinning my faith to the Southern
Nevada camps and expect to largely in
crease my investments. Ii is my pur-
pose to visit the new camp of Manhat-
tan and if favorable opportunity pre-
sents l will probably secure something
in a mining way there. l shall also de-

The issue of treasury stock of the
Broncho Manhattan Mining company
was a big local success, the amount re-
served for Tonopah being largely over
subscribed, and Goldfield and Manhat-

opinion of the mine by absorbing big
blocks of the stock. Since the subscrip-
tion list was opened the directors have
concluded the purchase of group OF
five claims between the Mustang and
Combination mil es giving the company
