Mr.. HATHAWAY'S
PLEA FOR JUSTICE

! was member Of the relief COM
mittee of Reno post and called with
j. E. Clark. also q member OF the
committee, to see j. III. Elliott a
the county Jail and later to see
Judge Mann. After this we went
back to see Elliott again. Judge
Mann said that Elliott would s.
released only on the condition that
he gave $500 peace bond or con
sented to Immediately leave town
for the old soldiers home. Judge
Mann said he thought It was best
to keep Elliott in jail for he was In
formed by the officers that the girl
had a gun and would kill the old
man if he bothered her any more.
We gave no peace bond and Elliott
did not go to the soldiers home.
The action of ]. e. Clark and
myself on behalf of Elliott was
purely that Of two soldier comrades
in aid Of brother in distress. The
case was reported to MS In the reg
ular way, in our capacity as mem
bers of the relief committee OF
Reno post, and 1t was In this way
that We became interested In. ELI
otis behalf. r. A. HATHAWAY.

AZ, G. A. r., and chairman of the re-
lief committee. Toward latter part
of December my attention was
called to the case of ]. H. Elliott
and together with R. A. Hathaway,
another member of the relief COM
mittee, went to see Police Judge
Mann. He informed us that the
old man had been arrested three
times, that he had caused lots of
trouble, and that it was better that
he be in Jail than out. The Off
GERS told him, said Judge Mann,
that the girl, Rose Elliott, had
gun and had threatened to kill
her father and that it was we'll to
keep the old man in Jail to prevent
the girl from killing him. The
only way to get the old man out,
was informed, was to get a good
bond OF 5000 to insure his keeping

that she would go in spite of hell
as often as she pleased.
! pleaded, begged and scolded
her, to no avail. The girl was of
age and l could not help her ac-
tions. This caused hard feelings
between us. About the last of
October Rosie was called to attend
the sick wife of neighbor. When
on returning home at noon mama
told of the conditions that sur
rounded Rosie's employment, I be-
came angry and demanded that
she return. The matter so worried
me that l began drinking little
during the afternoon. l went over
to the neighbor's house that night
before supper, and asked Rosie II
she would come home and she said
yes. l went back home, had sup
per. smoked awhile and then told
mama that l was afraid Rosie was
not coming, so went back to the
neighbor's again and asked Rosie
to come with me, and she replied
that she would when she got
good and ready. ! felt that she
was going to have her policemen
friends call on her that evening, so
went back home and got butch
er knife and went back again for
Rosie. She was not there, but in
the alley l met two policemen,
Glider and a young fellow, whom
did not know. They asked me

bor's and she suddenly ran from
my side. did not know what had
become of her at the time, but
afterward learned tnat she had
lodged up the stairway leading to
the rooms of the two officers. On
learning of her relations with the
Officers entered q vigorous pro-
test but had no influence over her.
She said that she was then of age
and the officers had asked her to
60 with them and that she proposed
| to 40 this regardless of the conse-
Quences.
When Mr.. Elliott learned of the
conduct of Rosie and the policemen
it almost broke him up. He had
been sober for IA years, but imme-
diateiy went and got drunk and
vowed that the officers would let
the girl alone or there would be
trouble.
Mr.. Elliott wanted Rosie. to come
home from neighbor's where she
had been working. She said she
would, but later refused.
Elliott had been drinking some
that day, and on coming home got
a butcher knife and went back to
the neighbors. Rosie had gone by
then and in the alley papa met the
two officers who arrested him.

The significance OF the accept

Conservation is one of the pet re-

Clifford Pinchot Is his right bower

Pinchot and Secretary of the In
terror Richard A. Ballinger ran
afoul of one another on questions
of conservation. President Taft
supported Ballinger and called for
Pinchot's resignation.
Roosevelt heard Pinchot's side
of the controversy and accepted
bis statements as truth without
waiting to hear from the other side.
This is an indication that all OF his
sympathies are with Pinchot. It
