ment, the immediate family closely
watching at his bedside.
He was in the Palace meat market

had suffered.

PAT M'CARREN
IN COE CASE

. One of the finest arguments ever
heard in the federal court Of this dis
trict was that of Patrick McCarran
yesterday evening in the Coe case
J. C. Coe, as has been recited sew
eral times, is accused OF the robbery
| of postOffice at Tenabo. From the
| evidence introduced at the trial the
man seems to be accused simply be-
cause he had a green back in his pos
session that was listed as received at
the post office by the postmistress.
McCarran and his confrere, Judge
Jones, showed that greenbacks are
numbered serially, that ten dollar bills
are numbered in quartos, four of them
always carrying exactly the same
numbers, and that Tyree, the employ
er of the accused man, received the
bill found on Coe from Salt Lake
and paid it to the latter.
McCarran summed up the mans
life. his reputation for honesty and
the case in detail yesterday in a mas
terly effort that excited tle admir-
alton of all who heard i-. The dis
trict attorney, Mr.. Platt, had preced-
ed him and closed the arguments this
morning when the case was presented
to the jury.
COe has three little children and
is wdower. To a layman he seems
to have put in a clear case in defense
and the presentation of ais case yes.
terday evening by McCarran seemed
to stand on.
The case was submitted to the jury
shortly after noon.

REFORMERS AND SHORT
HAIRED BUNCH GO TO
THE MAT AND FIGHT IT
OUT; WAR is OVER SOON

Reno is. as usual. engaged in Xii
kenny cat fight. but this one has al
ready surpassed all previous efforts
in that line in that city.
BE 1t known that Reno is engaged
in the pleasant task OF purgins her
municipal government-wnatev that
may mean. She has discovered that
her city council has not been actin :
In the high-minded and patriotic man
ner in which city governments are
supposed to act. and while she has
been long time in finding it out,
she has found ii out, which is some
thing. It seems that there is a def
cit in the city treasury. 1t seems
that lot OF street work has been
done that she cannot pay for, or has
not paid for or supposed was paid for.
Some OF her creditors have become
real peevish about it and have talk
ed out in meeting about it.
Then too are some matters about
city contracts in which city council
men are supposed to have benefited
p"cuniarily. Even the mayor and
other officials are said to have had
little more than civic interest in
some of them. These things also
made talk.
The old red light question bobbed
mp screnely about the time the other
matters became generally cussed,
discussed and rscussed and scan
dial brews in that quarter. Police
and fire departments came II for a
share OF the more or less lively con
vcrsation about civic affairs and
there seems to be a regular miXup
with all hands in the cheerful task
making it more mixed as fast as pos
siblc.
In order to bring the matter to a
head before the city election. to come
in few days now, an organization
calling itself the Municipal League
undertook the task of putting non
partisan ticket in the held upon
which. it was fondly supposed, none
but the most disinterested and public
spirited citizens should be placed as
candidates for ,le different offices to
be filled.
Then the fun began.
The league cast abou: for candi
didates. Several nigh-minded gentle
men side stepped prospective honors
and pointed TO the next fellow as the
best timber. George Turritin had
his lightning rod up for while but
a breeze from the banks blew 1t down.
Charlie Gulling was mentioned but
the matter was hushed up and fnals
alter Harris was picked.

HOT MIXED CITY ELECTION:
"WHO'S WHO" NOW IN RENO

Harris was coy. Far be it from
Harris to seek elevation to Office. Not
for Harris was the cordial grip of the
candidate, the daily check for cam
paign expenses and other tlings of
like character Nay, Nay.
But the brethren begged and plead
ed and implored. The more Walter
balked the more they urged. Finally,
with the understanding that no per-
sonalities should enter into the fight,
that no booze" business went, that
the League should do all tle work
with what little time Walter could
spare from his multifarious duties.
Harris consented.
Whereat there was much joy, much
sounding OF brass and much tinkiing
of cymbals-and much unholy
mirth in the camp of the unregener
ate, for 10. it was remembered that
Harris is fidus achates TO Dick Kir-
man. incumbent of the more or less
well worn chair OF the mayOralty.
But the league went right ahead
picking out solid citizens for the dif
ferent offices. lobe Taylor grabbed
the nomination for city clerk. Jobe
didn't care very much, ah- hum. but
to fill the ticket he would consent to
who had beaten every man who ran
against him with one hand. Then
aged Ben c. Weir, who tried last fal!
and counldnt land township justice,
galloped into the fray like tle nestor
he is and enrolled himself vicarious
sacrifice as candidate for police judge
with the admirng plaudits of the
long hairs" so called, ringing more
or less discordantly in his ears.
Candidates for city council We're
not so easy. In the first place men
were wanted who could be relied
upon. Ted Stenmetz is stuns.
He was it. Ted is business
man. Reno has had so-called "busi.
ness mems administrations to burr
and is tired of them, but Ted is
popular fellow and will be able t,
advise on the cost of things to bea'
the band. Whether he has promiseC
to not vote contracts to his own firm
or not does not appear. it's detail
anyway and Ted is running like
wolf.
J. NJ. Mccormack is also enrolled
as one of the martyrs to the cause,
and young Theo. Clark, who eXper-
iments on your Uncle Sans farm
when he isn't looking for Office, got
in before the flag dropped. ]. f.
GignouX, who has so much money he
didn't have to work at anything much,
was induced, much against his private
feelings. to get in and run for tIe
last place on the cOunciimanic board
and the league went at it.

Merchants of Japan and America
Pledge Perpetual Peace and
Reciprocity of Trade

SEATTLE, Sept. "a treaty of
peace and reciprocity entered into by
the businessmen of Japan and those
of the Pacific coast of the United
States was ratified tonight at a ban
quet given in the Rainier club by the
associated chambers of commerce of
the eight large cities of the Pacific
coast TO the representatives of the six
great commercial cities of Japan.
It is agreed by the contracting par
ties without signing any papers that
they will be friends always; that they
will buy merchandise from one an
other; that they will make, pack and
ship the goods in the manner that
pleases the purchaser. conforming to
the usages of his country.
WILL STUDY FACTORIES
The japanese who are about to start
on a journey to every manufacturing
city of the United States were all pres
ent at tonights banquet. They had
spent the day loC king through the
which Japan needs, but does not pro-
duce. In all the cities visited this
will be the program.
In banquet halls the Japanese are
somewhat at a disadvantage, for the
chief man among thenl-the greatest
man in Asia. his fellow commissioners
call him-Baron Eiichi Shibusawa
speaks no English, and others of the
elderly men are similarly handicapped
The commissioners will from time to
time offer suggestions to American
merchants and manufacturers that will
increase their sales in Japan.

time for speeches arrived, was called
TO order by ]. D. Lowman, president of
~ phoy fer Of

ADDRESS OF SHIBUSAWA
Baron Shibusawa, speaking in Jap
anese, gave thanks for the friendly re-
ception of the commissioners in Seattle.
and assured his hearers of Japans af-
lection for the United States. The
great development of the Pacific coast
in recent years had filled him with
wonder.
America had been especially favored
by nature but more important than
natures favor in making a nation
great were qualities of its men. The
prosperity OF the United States was
due to the courage, industry and high
ideals of its people.
X Matsukata, the great ship builder
of Kobe, was the only speaker of the
night who needed no interpreter, be-
ing able to address the banqueters per-
fectly in both tongues. He repeated
what he said at the Kobe banquet to
the Americans, that if the merchar& S
of the United States and Japan UNDER
stood the peculiarities of the demands
of each country there would be tre-
mendous increase in exchange of COM
modities.
