Judge Newcomb of Pennsylvania,
severely criticised Governor Stewart
and the legislature Of that state last
week because of the passage OF
law recurring counties to pay the fees
of attorneys appointed by the court 10
defend homicide cases In which the
defendant is unable to employ counsel.
Judge Newcomb was holding court at
Scranton, and made his remarks De-
cause of the request Of an attorney
that a murder case be postponed 10
subsequent term, so that counsel couid
be assigned by the court, giving as
his reason that the attorney assigned
for the defense would receive pay from
the county. "a very humane provis-
ion, but one that ought to be repudi-
ated as rejecting on the best ideals OF
the profession" said Judge Newcomo.
"This gratuitous service, according to
the long and unbroken line OF tradi-
ton. forms the lawyers proudest
claim to distinction. 1t is the profession
of his chivalrous devotion to great
and honorable profession having Tor
its object the administration OF equal
and impartial justice. This statute
assumes that the profession is ready to
surrender it's noblest heritage in ex-
change for a mess Of commercial pot
taee. and is, therefore, in my opinion,
a matter Of humiliation and reproach.
Its enactment was grievoIs mis-
take"

LAWYERS RAISE NOVEL QUEsrIoN-A
question that Is being much discussed
by members Of the local bar is wheth-
er or not a man under indictment for
violating the old dispensary law can
be punished for violating that law,
now that It has been repealed and the
Carey Cothran law substituted. The
question has been raised by attorneys
who have clients who will stand trial
at the next term of the court of gen.
eral sessions on the charge Of VIOLA
ting the old dispensary law.
These attorneys will ask that the
cases against their clients be mol
pressed because of the fact that the
law which they are charged with vio-
lating, is no longer on the statutes.
They claim that a man cannot be SEN
fenced for violating a law which Is not
on the statutes at the time OF his con-
viction, and say that the supreme
court of the state rendered decision
on this point few years back wnicn
was to that effect There are other
attorneys who do not hold this view
Of the question but think that the
persons under indictment before the
old dispensary law was repealed can
be punished for the violation OF that
law.
Those who hold that persons under
indictment can be punished claim that
section Al CT the Carey Cothran bill
sets this clear. This section is as fol-
lows:
THE state dispensary is hereby abol-
ished and all acts inconsistent with
this act are hereby repealed provided,
That this act shall not have the Ell
feet of preventing any violations OF the
present criminal law relating to the
dispensary being punished as now pro
vided by law for offenses heretofore
committed"
Those holding the view that punish
ment cannot be given claim that the
above Is inconsistent with the decision
of the supreme court and say that,
that section will be declared unconsti-
utional.-Greenyille News.

Lumber is now coming into camp at
such rapid rate that the lumber yards
can't get enough teams to haul it from

than keeping pace with the increasing

but the lumber yards, fearing to reduce
the visible supply to the injury of town

MARVElS OF RUTH
IMPRESS VISITORS


After an inspection yesterday Of the
Ruth mine, Thomas Blythe and Sher-
man Fargo, of the Blythe-Fargo Mer-
camille Company declared Ely's future
secure. Tnoy were plainly astonished
BY the showing Of the Nevada Consoli-
dated property, with its continuous ore
bodies running up to total of 10000,
600 tons.
Messrs. Blythe and Fargo are not
mining experts, but plain business men;
yet they are familiar with mining oper-
ations Ia neighboring states, and es-
pecially in Utah, and their impressions
are Of value In comparative sense.
The Ruth mine, as everybody in Ely
knows. is mere fraction of the great
copper bearing belt in this district.
What the visitors would think after a
tour Of the Veteran, the Jupiter, the
Witch, the Eureka, the Mcdonald Ely,
the Giroux and other good mines in the
district, may be easily inferred from
the enthusiastic estimates of Ely based
upon trip 70 the first developed prop
erty in the camp.

Gathering There
ALL TALK. OF COPPER
"DutCh Pete" Halls the Banker in
the WaldOrf-AstOria Hotel
Dining Room

Joseph Pheby, of the White Pine
County Bank returned last night from
New York.
ELY is occupying the star position
in New York these days he said.
Everybody is talking of the camp and
a number of distinguished capitalists
from the metropolis will soon be here
to look over the field. B. d. William
son, who bought the Republic mine
from Patsy Clark, win be in Ely this
week. could name many who will
follow.
''New York is crowded with Nevada
men, and all of them are boosting Ely
Dick Coburn and H. Hughey have
ceased to talk about Goldfield and are
for Ely with all their hearts. They
are interested in properties here.
cat the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, when
was there, | counted more than forty
Nevada men, and twenty of these were
from Ely.
1.-The first night | was in New York,
l strolled into the beautiful Waldorf
Astoria dining room, with its glitter of
lights and crowd of millionaire diners,
and while making my way to seat
saw someone ahead of me waving his
arms and shouting Hello 1t was
Dutch Pete.
''The splendor Of the place and the
unaccustomed surroundings had before
made me somewhat embarrassed, ssout
the sight of Pete's familiar face at
once made me perfectly at home. And
after had been at the hotel week 1t
was very much like being in Nevada
there WEIR SO many men / knew from
this State stopping there. 1t was
amusing to sit in the hotel and hear the
occasional outbursts of enthusiasm of
the Nevada men. Someone would
shout, Isn't Nevada the greatest State
of 'em ALP and the answering chorus,
She is.
Mr.. Pheby said that the recent slump
in stocks was caused by the drop in
Nipissing.
1.-The panic in Broad street was some
thing fearful, 2 he said. New York
brokers told men that they had never
seen anything like it before. And there
was no reason for the Nipissing slump
as the mine is producing silver in half
ton chunks.

proving. 1t would have recovered ere

eiers have dumped thousand million

fit in advertising the town, and would
cost but very little as the railroads
had agreed to give the club very
liberal rate at any time it should ask
for IT, He asked the audience to de-
termine which one should be taken
first, but on motion of Henry Hutton,
president of the Canon City Merchants
Association, this matter was left with
the governing board of the club.
Henry Hutton was called for and
expressed his sympathy in the aims
and ambitions of the Boosters Club,
which he thought was capable of doing
great things for the town.
I'VE believe" said Mr.. Hutton. that
Canon City is entitled to all the boost
ing that we can give her and we would
be unworthy citizens of Colorado II
we did less than we. are doing to
push her to that position which nature
intended her to occupy"
Mr.. Hutton spoke of the work that
was being done for Canon City by the
Merchants Association, and said that
there had recently been issued under
its auspices a sixteen page booklet
descriptive of Canon City and It's en-
yirons which could be had by calling
at his office or at the Office of w. ID.

These booklets when folded" said
Mr. Hutton, ."fit into a six and half

lethargy and henceforth must be con-
sidered one of the potential factors in
the material growth of Colorado. The
Boosters Club we have just organized
can do much for Canon City If it is
given the support it deserves. 1t knows
neither religion, politics nor social
distinctions. Its mutto is $4,000 popu-
lation for Canon City in 1912, and all
other things are forgotten in the effort
to attain that end.

speaker, "and if you do this the future
Of the town is yours.
There are very few places in this
state, or in the nation for that matter,
that have greater natural resources to

City. but great natural resources will

and that means money, which can only
be obtained by making our advantages
