The Fender Case

The mother, uncle and grown
daughter of r. E. Fender, the Southern
Pacific engineer, who is serving a six
months sentence in the county Jail fol
carrying concealed weapons, are circu-
lating a Petition to the board OF
pardons for his release from Jail.
While we have some sympathy for
the parents and relatives of this man,
we have none for him. His conduct
| toward his divorced wife on the streets
| of Elko was such as to merit the con-
domination of every good citizen. That
she escaped injury, and perhaps death,
at his hands was probably due to his
little daughters appeal to spare her
mother. This appeal may have stayed
his hand, or it may have been the
presence of people on the sidewalk who
saw him draw the pistol and heard him
threaten to blow out the woman's
brains that caused him to run and
throw away his gun when she screamed.
But be this as it may, his conduct to-.
ward his divorced wife the next day in
Judge Bruce's court stamped him as a
good man to put behind the bars for u
time.
The plea is made that this is his first
ofense, and therefore he should not be
punished. The facts as we understand
them are that he has repeatedly threat
ened this woman's life and the lives of
Others in Carlin. If turned loose by the
board of pardons, he might consider his
release as license to carry out those
threats. If compelled to serve his
sentence he may conclude to behaye
himself when he regains his liberty.
But whether he does or not, society is
better off with him in Jail.
Sympathy for his father and mother
is all right in its place, but should not
be carried to the extent of asking the
board of pardons to turn this man
loose.

ADMIRAL EVANS
VS.. REU7ERDAHL
Declares The New American Battle
ships Better Than The
Dreadnought.
ARMoR BELTS ARE CORRECT
Says Warships Need Protection Below
Waterline More Than on
Freeboard.

NEW YORK, December 14.-That ths
are vastly superior to Englands Dread.
nought is emphatically stated by Rear
Admiral Robley d. Evans in a maya
zine article written by him wherein
he strongly defends the American navy
and replies to criticisms of it made
some time ago by Henry Reuterdahl
and others.
Il do not for a moment claim that
the Indiana and her sister ships are
equal to the Dreadnought of the Eng
lish navy says Admiral Evans, only
that she is the equal of the English
ships designed at the same time. But
vastly superior to the Dreadnought
and ! believe that every fighting man
who has given the subject intelligent
consideration will agree with me-"
Admiral Evans urges the superiority
of the thirteen-inch gun over the
twelve-inch gun, and asserts that the
change to the lesser caliber to con-
form to England's type, was a most
serious blunder. This is chargeable,
he says, to the seagoing officers of
the navy and not to any stan corps.
Regarding the waterline armor belt,
he saiu:
Il am sure, after many weeks or
close observation, that the lower edge
of the armor belt is too high, rather
! than too low"
1t had been strenuously contended
by critics that the low location of the
belt was a vital point of weakness
AS the upper edge of the belt is al
ways even with or above the level OF
the protective belt" continues Admiral
Evans, the danger to be apprehended
from a projectile penetrating above the
belt, beyond the wrecking effect OF
such projectile, is that due to the
amour If water that may enter the
hole ~ is the damage that may be
done by such projectiles entering be-
low that may cause the ship to sink by
exploding magazines or boilers, bu
this is improbable 1t will require
many twelve-inch shells ON the watel
line or on any other to disable or sinl
such a ship if the officers and mel
know their business and want to fight.
