WHOLE STATE
WILL Be
DRY
At Midnight Every Saloon in Tennes-
see Must Close Property Loss
Will be 10 Million Dollars.
MEMPHIS THE BIGGEST DRY CITY
Especial to The sentinel. ]

Nashville. Tenn, June go
"We'uns of Tennessee" will awaken
tomorrow morning to find themselves
riding on the water wagon. The
statewide prohibition law passed by
the Legislature last winter over the
veto of GOV. Patterson becomes OPP
erative at midnight tonight. The
law forbids the sale of alcoholic drink
within four miles OF a school house,
and will have the effect of closing
the doors of virtually every saloon in
the state All the cities will become
dry" among them Memphis, which
will thereby attain the distinction of
being the largest city in the world
where the sale of intoXicants is pro-
hibiLed by law. Memphis now has
500 saloons. Other large cities which
will be affected are Nashville, with
l31 saloons, and Chattanooga, which
has 63 drink emporiums.
On January / next. six months af-
ter the retailers have received their
knockout blow. the brewers, distillers
and others engaged in the manufae-
ture of intoNicants, will be put out of
business. on that date the state law
forbidding the manufacture of in
toxicants will come into force. The
six months probation was given the
brewers and distillers to enable them
to dispose of their property.
1t is estimated that the prohibition
laws will cause a falling off of more
than a million dollars in the revenues
of Tennessee. Investments exceed
ing S10,00O.00O in distilleries, brew
cries. rectifying establishments and
wholesale and retail liquor stores will
become idle Indefinitely, and much OF
il eill be lost because no indemnity
is provided for. 1t also is calculated
that $4,000 persons will be thrown
out OF employment.

YOUNG MEXICAN
ON TRIAL TODAY
Shultz Declares He Bought Whisky
From Valdez In a Chill Parlor.-
Six Men Hear Testimony.
A CONVICTION VERY PROBABLE

This afternoon in the court of
Justice Sweeney Quan Valdez. Mex
lean. charged with violating the anti
saloon law by selling pint of liquor
to j. w. Shultz, was arraigned for
trial
Attorney Welsh represented the
defendant while the deputy district
attorney conducted the prosecution.
A special venire of IL men was
summoned and out of this venire a
jury of men was selected after sew
eral had been excused from the jury
box.
The trial was held in Justice
Sweney's office on Colorado avenue,
as the court room was not available.
The jury secured to try the case
was made up of the following gentle
men: Fred w. Halbouer, Frank A.
Lyons. John H. Heron, Mr.. Heck.
T. j. Vaught and c. IL. Ross.
There were the usual and expected
controversies between the attorneys
over the admission of certain GER
tificates from the city clerk showing
the result of the recent city election
on the wet" and dry" question,
and over the admission of evidence of
other nature. In nearly all of these
instances the defense was overruled
j. W. Shultz, the star witness for
the prosecution in the other cases,
was the chief witness for the prose-
cution in this case. He testified to
the effect that -on the afternoon of
June 10th he went into the chilli
joint. operated by the defendant on
South Second street in the rear of the
Royalty Club building. asked the-de-
PENDANT If he had any whiskey for
sale, the defendant said that he had
whiskey -for sale. Shultz alleges that
he purchased half a pint of whiskey
and paid the Mexican for t, that later
he labeled the bottle and turned IL
over to Chief of Police Watson.
Shultz declared that he bought the
whiskey to use as evidence against
the Mexican and that he was acting
under orders from the chief of police.
He said that he knew that whiskey
mad been bought there before and for
that reason he went there to make
purchase.
Shultz was severely cross examined
by Attorney Welsh
l.. l.. Hoodenpyle, who assisted
Shultz in getting the evidence in all
of these cases, was with Shultz when
he purchased the liquor from the
Mexican and he corrobolated Shultz's
testimony.
Chief of Police Watson testified to
getting the liquor from Shultz after
the latter had purchased 1t.
There was a struggle over the ad-
mission of the bottle of liquor as
evidence but it was finally admitted
as such,
Several motions involving the dis
missal of the case. were made by the
defense but we're overruled.
When the evidence for the defense
was called for. Valdez, took the stand
and denied having so1d Shultz any
whiskey on June 10. or at any other

NEARLY 1000
BANKS ARE
INVOLVED
Today Kansas Puts Into Effect the
New Bank Guaranty Law With
Its Many Splendid Features.
MUST PUT UP MILLION DOLLARS
IspeeIal 10 INC sentinel. ]

Topeka. Kans.. June 30.-The bank
deposit guaranty law passed by the
last session of the Kansas Legislature
goes into effect today.
While the law will affect only such
banks as elect to comply with 1t, it
is expected that all of the 77T state
banks in Kansas will place them
selves under its provisions without
delay.
The banks under the new law are
to be partners in a sort of mutual
insurance company. They will have
to put up million dollars in state
and national securities to guarantee
the payment of deposits, and the dues
or insurance premiums will be only
one-twentieth of l per cent annually.
Briefly stated, the law provides for
protection to the following classes of
deposits: Those that do not bear in
terest; time certificates payable In
less than six months from date and
not extending more than one year.
bearing interest not to exceed per
cent per annum and on which inter
est shall cease at maturity; savings
accounts not exceeding in amount
500 TO any one person and not sub
ject TO check upon which the bank
has reserved in writing the right to
require 60 days notice of withdraw
al. and bearing interest at not to ex-
ceed 3 per cent per annum.
Deposits which are primarily dis
counts or money borrowed by the
bank, and all deposits otherwise Sc
cured are not guaranteed under the
act.
Just what effect the new law is to
have ON the national banks appears
uncertain. The department of jus
tice at Washington having decided
that the national banks could moi
participate in the guarantee feature
of the Kansas law. the banks them
selves have started a movement to
organize an insurance company
among themselves to insure deposits
in their banks. Eventually, how
ever. it is expected that many of the
national banks, especially those in
the smaller towns, will decide to de-
nationalize and become state insti-
tutions in order to participate in the
! guaranty law.

MORE TRIALS OF BooTLEGGERS

An effort will be made by At
torneys Fry and Welsh, represent
ing Doc Powell, who on last night
was found guilty of selling liquor in
a dry" town, TO get new trial for
the defendant.
1t was 10 O'Clock last night when
the jury of IL men that heard the
evidence in the case crought in their
verdict and found Powell guilty as
charged in the information. The jury
had been out for four hours. During
these four hours many ballots were
taken. 1t is reported that the early
ballot showed an almost equal divis-
ion for conviction and acquittal but
finally the verdict of guilty was
agreed to by all of the jurors.
The case went to the jury about Z
O'Clock yesterday evening. after each
side had occ pied about 45 minutes
in arguments.
This is the first conviction on the
charge OF "bootlegging" secured in
Grand Junction since the town be-
came anti-safoon territory.
Powell was accused of selling a
pint OF whiskey to J. w. Shultz. the
man employed by the prosecution to
gather evidence concerning violations
of the anti-gambling and the anti
saloon law.
The attorneys for the defense were
given five days in which TO file a
motion for a new trial. In the mean
time sentence is suspended and

WEDDING, NOT
DINNER PARTY
In Successful and Novel Manner a
Young Grand Junction Business
Man Surprises His Friends.
BRIDE PRETTY NEBRASKA GIRL

The marriage of Fred w. Coe OF
this city to Miss Hazel Capron, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Fl. Cap
ron, prominent of Ord Neb, was
probably as great surprise to the
friends of Mr., Coe and Miss Capron
in their home town as will be this
announcement upon the friends of
Mr. Coe in Grand Junction
A week or ten days ago Mr.. Coe
left for an extended business(?) trip
to his old home and other points in
Nebraska. Before leaving he was
closely questioned by the Sentinel re-
porter, to whom he gave straightfor-
ward and unsuspicious replies in each
and every instance, and was passed
by the same for cause. However,
fresh evidence came to hand a short
time later and the family of the de-
fendant was put under a severe
cross-questioning. but no admission
or proof of treason could be discoy-
cred. The conclusion was finally
reached that there was not sufficient
evidence to implicate Mr.. Coe or to
prove that he had any intentions of
becoming benedict The case
against him was dismissed, the state
ment being made that his trip to Ne
braska was solely from the stand
point of business. But message at
pm. today made evident the fact
that, II it was merely business trip,
II was, indeed. profitable one and
The young business man had just
completed the most important deal OF
his career.
To avoid the suspicious of friends
in the town of Ord. Mr.. Coe was met
by an automobile at Leon, little
station Z miles this side of Ord. In
vitations were issued to twenty-five
close friends of the parties concerned
and relatives of Miss Capron. No
mixing of the nature of the occasion
Tor which the invitations were issued
was known by even the best friends
and closest relatives outside of the
immediate family; but they were Civ
en- to suppose that it was to be din
ner party. OF course, due to the clev-
er manner in which Mr. Coe had been
spirited into the city, none were
aware of his presence
Promptly at e O'Clock today. when
the guests were assembled the
strains of the wedding march We're
heard, and Mr.. Fred Coe. carrying on
his arm his old-time friend and play
mate, Miss Hazel Capron, entered.
The minister was there by appoint
ment. and the marriage was solem-
hizeu almost Detore the friends had
recovered from their astonishment
and realized the fact that marriage
was to take place.
After the ceremony the guests
seated themselves at the elaborate
banquet which had been-prepared for
the pretended dinner party, and at
l 80 pm. Mr.. and Mrs, Fred w. Coe
boarded train for Colorado.

HELPED SETTLE
GREAT PROBLEM
Jesse Bedwell, Grand Junction Man,
Chosen as One of Adjustors of
Railway Trouble in Mexico.
SEVERAL THOUSANDS INVOLVED

Jesse B. Bedwell. for many years
resident of Grand Junction. former
ly county clerk and widely known
here. served as general chairman or
the committee of adjustment repre-
senting the conductors of the nation
al railways of Mexico in bringing
about the settlement of the contro-
versy that for 110 days was in force
in Mexico, resulting in much bitter
ness and attracting attention all over
the continent as one of the greatest
railway controversies of recent years,
and which came near tying up the
great railway systems of Mexico.
Directly interested were about 500
conductors, 700 engineers and at
least 300 officials. with their families,
aggregating not less than 5000 per-
sons.
Mr. Bedwell has for several years,
or since leaving Grand Junction about
four years ago. been employed as a
conductor on the Mexican Central
railroad. His popularity among the
railway men and officials of the Mex
lean republic is proEen by the fact
that he was selected as one of the
chief mediators in this great dispute
