Hickey Wins

Monday the supreme court rendered a
decision i'll the Hickey habeas corpus
case in which the indictments against
him and the other directors of the Statc
Bank and Trust Company were held to
be defective. The decision wipes ont
every Indictment and procedure, civil
and criminal, brought i'll any county
against every person connected with the
State Bank and Trust Company. In
short, it means that no one can be
punished for the mismanagement of the
State Bank and Trust Company.
Shortly after the decision was
rendered, the Carson News interviewed
Mr.. Hickey and makes this editorial
comment on the interview.
We are presenting today, an inter
view from the now victorious, and noto-
rious, T. B. Hickey. We brand it as
absolutely false in every particular.
AT no time since the failing of the State
Bank & Trust Company, has this man
kept good faith with his defrauded and
deluded despoitors. We cannot be-
lieve that Nevada is wanting in laws
sufficiently concise and stringent to
insure punishment for the acts of which
T. B. Hickey was guilty in his capacity
rs President of the State Bank 81 Trust
Company.
Did we so believe we would advocate
swinging wide the doors of the State
Penitentiary and permitting to go free
all the inmates of that institution
There is not man confined, today in
the State Penitentiary of Nevada,
whose crimes hays brought upon the
people of this state the sorrow, the
suffering, the losses and the grievous
hurt that have resulted from tho opera.

Census-Taking Simpliiied

although the population may have
increased Is to 30 per cent, since the
census of 1900, entailing proportionate
increase III the volume of work required
it is the belief of the officials that they
may be able to complete the coming
census at cost but little, if any, in ex-
cess of the last census" says the March
popular Mechanics i'm an illustrated
article, This economical miracle will
bc made possible through the introduc.
tion of remarkable machines for the say
ing of time and labor. 1t is expected
that by the aid of these new machines a
force Of clerks no larger than that
employed 40 years ago will he able to
turn ont one-fourth and perhaps one
half as much or more work as was ac.
complishcd in 1900.
Mechanical mOthematiCians of one
kind or another have been used in the
U. S. census Office since 1870. but the
system of electric tabulation which will
bc employed for this census will be so
far in advance of all predecessors in the
matter Of machinery employed, us to
mark Il new era. The census will bo
compiled by the card index system, with
II card for every mau, woman and child
in the country. but it will differ from
the card index SYSTEMS found in the
average Office in that the information
will bo recorded by punching holes in
the cards instead of records with pens
and typwritcrs. Tho positions of the
holes OH each card will Indicate facts
relative to the individual whose biog.
raphy tho card holds" The article
further explains how the holes are

nreasurer Ryan Nl.k.s Denial

a great deal has appeared in the press
lately, charging State Treasurer Ryan
with writing anonymous letters to Mr..
Sturges, II San Francisco millionaire
who is in control of several of the Com
stock mines of which Mr.. Ryan was
superintendent. In an interview pub
lished in Fridays Virginia Enterprise,
Mr.. Ryan denies all knowledge of the
charges 1t will take moro than un-
supported charges to convince Dave
Ryan's friends that he is guilty of IL dis
honorable act Following is the Enter
prise interview:
Il think am too we'll known in the
State of Nevada, where have resided
for "a years, to have to deny such an
accusation TO the people who have
honored and trusted me in the past.

City for over 90 years and was elected
by the people of Storey County, for two
terms as County Clerk and Treasurer,
and have served for ten years as State
Treasurer of Nevada, having been elect
ed for three consecutive terms by the
people of this State for that Office, and
during all these years have enjoyed
the confidence and respect of the people
of this State and never before in my
life time has charge of any kind effect
ing my honor, honesty, or integrity,
been made against me. have never
written an anonymous or scurrilous
communication in my life. have al

and if had anything to say to Il man l

wrote the communication mentioned,
and knew nothing about it until the ac-
cusation was made that it was written
in my Office. At that time 1 denied
that ever wrote such or any other
letter anonymous or scurrilous com
munication or that l ever authorized it
to be written. There was absolutely no
reason why should write such com
muDication to Mr.. Sturges or his son;
our relations had always been harmo-
NOUS and the conditions under which we
worked most satisfactory, and there
would be no motive or nothing to gain
