For some time it has been limited
that money was being freely used to
hush up prosecutions against vice.
This hint was brought to the attention
of the public generally through the
upheaval of the bomb throwing and
the Ella Gingles case, but it was
States Attorney Wayman who finally
produced the evidence before the
grand jury which led to the indict-
ments.
Mr.. Wayman, who is a comparative
ly young man, was born in West Vir-
ginia. He was graduated from
Bethany college with the class of
1894. coming directly to Chicago as
traffic manager for SpauIding & Mer-
rick, later representing the shippers of
the Mississippi valley in various hear
ings before the Western Freight Traf-
fic association at Minneapolis, St. Paul,
Milwaukee and Del Monte, Cal. In
1898 he was graduated from Kent Col
lege of Law, and has been practicing
in the state and federal courts ever
since. He has handled many impor-
tant criminal cases and last year was
made states attorney after a hard
campaign.
The work of Mr.. Wayman and his
department in the last few months has
been amazing and shows that he is a
power in Chicago to be reckoned with.

is merely for the purpose of guarantee
ing social clubs the full protection OF
the law. We do not favor even the
re-submission of the prohibitory
amendment to the constitution.
The clubs for the past two years
have worked with the law enforcement
people. We have voted for the dry can
didates. Topeka and the state has been
freed from joints and saloons. For all
this we are glad, but when they pass
laws that will not permit a man to
drink at his club, we are then opposed
to prohibition and its candidates.
All the so-ca1led liberal clubs of this
city and over the state are with us We
are not asking much, but are demand
ing the guarantee Of this personal lib
erty-the right to serve liquor in our
club rooms

Another requisition case pending be-
fore the governor today that is In
some ways similar to the above is that
of Charles J. Evans, also of Wichita
who is wanted by the Texas authorities
for an alleged crime committed in that
state four years Nago. Mayor Graham,
Representative Matson and Other
prominent Wichita citizens have inter-
ested themselves in Evans behalf and
wired the. governor to hold up the pa
pers until they could send him further
information. The governor will wait d
reasonable time to hear the facts III
the case, and if nothing further is done
by this evening or tomorrow he will
likely issue the papers.
The governor also wired the sheriff
of Sedgwck county and the chief of
police of Wichita for their opinion in
the matter.
Evans is charged with assault with
intent to kill man in Texas in 1905.
During Governor Hoch's term an effort
was made to get a requisition for
Evans and Governor Hoch refused u
honor the papers. There is no record
of the reason why the Texas demand
for Evans was turned down. Evans
has been living in Wichita for several
years and it is strange that the Texas
authorities should have waited so long
to apply again for a requisition.

Makes Brave Men towards

1t has been proved that the compare
lively harmless bombarding, so far as
wounds are concerned, of a besieged
town is terribly demoralizing to the
bravest men. When a shell bursts near
group of twenty men it may kill one
and wound two, while the remaining
seventeen escape without scratch. It
will be found, however, that many of
these are never the same men again.
No matter how iron neryed they were
before they are now irresolute and
timid, and all their faculties are weak
ened. Very often they are jeered at by
their comrades because of this change,
but this is utterly unjust. In fact, their
brain and spinal cord have been in.
jured by being violently shaken against
the walls of their bony cavities. The
same thing occurs in railway collisions
People who were robust become quite
feeble and nervous, though they may
not have received q scratch. This
curious state in the case of soldiers is
well recognized by doctors under the
name of the mental injuries of explo-
siyes. The injuries are really quite as
physical as a shattered leg, for they
consist of a kind af bruising of the very
delicate tissue of the spinal cord and
brain.

Saturday afternoon after the bids for
the courthouse bonds were opened, the
commissioners wrestled with the cues
ton of which was the highest and best
bid until 4 o'clock and then adjourned
until o'clock this morning. ...
The full board met at 8 o'clock this
morning to resume consideration of the
bids. The proposition had narrowed
down to bids submitted by E. 81. Rollins
q Son of San Francisco, which was for
$106. 500, and she bid of the Henderson
Banking Company of Elko for $1O4, $50.
All the bids, except that of the
Henderson Banking Company, con-
tanned the provision that the legality of
the bonds must be passed upon by their
attorneys before the bonds would be
accepted by the bidders. That is, if the
attorney held the bonds valid the bidder
would take them, but if the attorney
held the bonds invalid the bidder, of
course, would not take them The bid
of the Henderson Banking Company was
for legal bonds. This left the question
of the bonds, if such a question arises,
to be determined by the courts, instead
OF by an attorney.
This condition weighed with the
commissioners and they unanimously
voted to reject all bids that were SUI
Ject to the approval of the attorneys
for the bidders. This left the bid of
the Henderson Banking Company the
only bid before the board and the bonds
were unanimously awarded to it.
When the award was made, Mr..
Spaulding, the representative of e. 81.
Rollins & Son, stated that Elko county
would lose 1920 by the award. This
brought John Henderson to his feet
with the statement that Ellko county
would not lose a cent. That when the
bonds were delivered the Henderson
Banking Company would pay to
the treasure of Elko county
1920, the difference between the bid of
the bank and that of E. H. Rollins &
Son, to be placed to the credit of the
courthouse bond fund or the general
fund of the county as the commissioners
might direct. This offer was entered
upon the records of the board.
The commissioners had no inkling
that such an offer would be made when
they accepted the bid of the Henderson
Bank. 1t had no influence In the
acceptance of the bid, but it places the
commissioners in a much better light
before the people of the county than
they would have been if the offer had
not been made. They cannot now be
charged with juggling the county out
of 1920.
