Indicted Men Give Bonds

Indicted Men Give Bonds
Three of those indicted last week by
the grand jury made their appearance
yesterday and each gave $1,000 bonds
They We're F. L. Voorhees,, bookkeeper
of the Pittsburg Silver Peak Mining
company: Edmund Jussen, superinten-
dent of the same corporation. and E. S.
Van Dyck, assistant secretary of the
the Florence Goldfeld Mining company
They are all charged with conspiring
to deprive the state of its bullion tax.
The indictments in the case of the
Silver Peak company are against U. s.
Senator George T.; Oliver, William
Finn, John 8. Weller, Ralph E. Flynn,
Martin l.. Effinger, Frank Knox, F. l..
Voorhees,, j. q. Splane, T. J. Crump.
Charles Y. Fuller, NJ. A Carton, j. H.
Brown and Edmund Jussen, The in
dictment reads that they unlawfully
conspired to cheat and defraud the state
of Nevada out of the sum of $24239
the bullion tax upon the company for
the first quarter of this year based upon
a net proceed of $103, 148.O9 for that
quarter. The Indictment reads that
the principal officers of the company,
and the more prominent ones are
residents of Pittsburg, wilfully made a
false report to the effect that the cost
of reducing or selling the ores and
tailings for the quarter, was $143,012,
-, l.
$42, 1872. A
Voorhees, and Jussen appeared before
court and announcement was made that
they had retained Bartlett Thatcher &
Gibbons Us their counsel in addition to
Rnfus G. Thayer. They were given one
week in which to plead, and the court
admitted them to $500 bonds, or $1,000
cash. Both defendants promptly paid
to the county $1,000 each in green
backs.
Mr.. Van Dyck paid in bond of $1,000,
but he was not arraigned and the
specific charges against him were not
read.
Regarding the indictments against
prominent parties residing outside the
state, Sheriff Bradley said last night
that he had not made up his mind as to
what course he will pursue; whether to
mail the indictments to the officers of
the county where the defendants reside,
or to send IN officer to make the service.
In any event, the Pittsburg papers have
not as yet left the courthouse. Senator
Oliver is one of the best known politici-
ans in the country, and was the one
really responsible for the election of
the present governor of Pennsylvania.
he was also Quay's righthand man for
10 years. In view of this circumstance
the governor of Pennsylvania might
consider seriously signing extradition
)ipers for Oliver and his associates of
Pittsburg. IT is Il certainty that all the
accused are preparing for one of the
'igest legal fights in the history of
Nevada. Goldfield Tribune.

At last there has appeared in actual
figures in the New York Tribune the
correct and Only authenticated and
sacredly expert treasury table showing
just what protection costs the man who
pays about SD for II suit of clothes.
The figures are intended to relieve the
anxious citizen. He is to learn that it
the privilege of living under our glo-
rious system of getting rich by taxing
each other. Why. the protective tax
on hit $15 suit is only $4.7G! But that
is for summer wear. His $15 winter
suit, or overcoat, costs him the uncon-
sidered trifle Of an extra So GA, on ac-
count of the tariff. How ridiculous arc
his grumblings in view Of this plain
tale from the statistics? If he wants to
buy $15 cook stove, none being inn
ported, he has to pay the manufacturer
inst beggarly Is per cent I'D valorem-
sly, Sli. 15---iind it would be an I'M
patriotic American who would not be
glad and proud to part with that sum to
able free trade nations that are ruined
by getting their necessaries and com
forts too cheap.
Wooden. underwear costing 81 80 ut
retail is imported to some extent. The
duty is 5l4 cents, or over one fourth of
the retail price. On wooden hose retail
ing for 80 cents the duty is IL cents.
On 25-cent cotton hose the dirty is g.;
cents IL dozen, and the trainers of the
Payne bill would raise it to 80 cents.
On women's cotton dresses retailing al
$40 the duty is So. Neither the com
lnittcc on ways and means nor the CON-
mittce on finance recommends IL lower
duty. ~
These are interesting figures for al
who have small incomes The wag,

HOUSE TO CONSIDER
HUMPHREYS
BILL
MEASURE REGULATING INTER-
STATE SHIPMENT OF INTOXI-
cANTS TO BE ACTED UPON.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Tomorrow week
to act on the proposal to regulate the
interstate shipments of Intoxicating
liquors. Consideration of the revision
of the penal code then will be resumed
and the first subject to come up will
be the liquor question. A new bill has
been prepared by Representative Hum
phrcys (Miss.) as a substitute for his
amendment to the original bill, offered
before the holidays
The new bill which has the sanction
of the leaders on both sides of the
house. and was prepared after a con-
ference with Speaker Cannon, is prac-
tlcally the same as the Knox bill.
which passed the senate early in this
congress.
The bill strives to accomplish the
marking of the contents of vessels,
the making certain of the delivery of
Intoxicating liquors only to bona fide
consignees and not to fictitious per-
sons, and the prevention of the de-
livery of liquors C. o. d. All these reg
ulations apply only to interstate ship
ments, railroad companies, express
companies and other common carriers
being punishable for violations.
Advocates Of the proposed legislation
claim that it avoids the alleged un-
constitutional features of the Littlefield
bill
