A LETTER FROM j.
REV. GREENFIELD
China Sea enroute to Hong Kong,
Xxx March ID, 1910
Mr.. w. w. Booher,
Elko, Nevada. ..
Dear Sir.

Dear SIR .... . ...... s..,...
There is at Nikko Japan work
of art by one of Japan's most famous
artists. Hidari Jingoro. 1t is a cat
carved in wood but is SO small that
1T is almost lost in the surrounding
grandeur. 1t is said that this
scultpor wrought a cat so life like
that the mice in the vicinity kept a
long distance away and that the cat
once jumped through the window
and disappeared. The artist not
to be outdone conceived the idea of
carving his next cat with closed
eyes so it could not. see the way out.
The same artist carved a woman in
wood so real that she. walked into
the artists home and when Jingoro's
wife saw what her husband had done,
in a jealous rage she left her home
and went to her fathers roof for
protection. There are wonderful
works of art in Japan ard of great
value but they are all of the past
and cannot be duplicated for like
Greece and Rome her artists lived
in former ages and they have had
no successors.
The kakemonas of gold and black,
the works of bronze and wood the
colors bright and gorgeous point to
an age of splender and glory before
the time element came into play
and in the feudal age when the lord
had retainers of talent and worth
with whom time was no object.
have been reliably informed that
Japan has resource for war of which
she may be justly proud. Her
victories over two great empires
have made her confident in her re-
sources. She has a war chest of
500,000,000 yen-or $3.50, 900, 900.
Her taxes average all around but
little less than 40 per cent while
rikisha man pays but 5 per cent.
Their scheme is rather complicated
and a man pays according to what
he has. They differ from the Am
erican in this that there is no attempt
or desire at tax evasion and everyone
is willing to make payment not only
willing but anxious. A doctor pays
20 per cent on his gross earnings
and doctor of higher capital pays
35 per cent. In case of war Japan
could call forth a larger force of
men than any other country except
Germany. Their remarkable loyalty
to country and their readiness to
pay the tax surprise the western
mind where graft and self interest
hold sway and state interest is secon-
Diary. The Japanese give their
money as cheerfully as they give
their lives. 100 per cent of the
japanese who are of reading age can
read Japanese but only those who
pay franchise tax of SO yen a
year can vote.
No doubt everyone in Elko knows
the japanese we call George, Teikichi
Selkyia. He has been longer with
us than any other of our japanese
friends. We are very apt to look
upon the japanese who come to our
shore as our interiors but who see
them in their native environs must
acknowledge their superiority in
many ways. Georges home is in
Tokyo. e. his foster mother and

to the Harahan administration, it is
said.
Its purpose has been to search for
facts which if proved true might place
Mr.. Harahan in an embarrassing posi-
ton before the board. A special in
quiry has been made to ascertain IL
Mr.. Harahan is financially interested
in any of the concerns which make
heavy sales of supplies to the Illinois
Central.

its employers. it is said, that Mr.. Hara-
han is stockholder in the American

Buda Foundry and Manufacturing COM
pany which has plant on the Illinois

Bears Are Short Millions of
Bales Through New York
Houses Alone, 1t Was An
nounced Yesterday.
PLIGHT OF "SHORTS"
MOST DESPERATE ONE
Some of Big Cotton Houses In
volved in Spectators Trade
Will Find Storm Hard One
to Weather.
{ fAmerican News service,

New York, April 23.-The cotton
bears are cornered. They are on the
horns of dilemma today and their
only chance of salvation lies in the
measure of. grace they can obtain
from the all powerful Patten-Hayne-
Brown-Scale bull pool The bears are
short millions of bales through New
York houses alone. How they stand
in New York and Liverpool none but
themselves know. Nature is with the
bulls. There are not more than $780,
900 bales of cotton in this country to-
day. On this the mills of the world
will have to run for months to come.
Where are the bears going to get the
enormous quantities they have con-
tracted to deliver? This is the situa-
tion today, according to one of New
York's foremost buyers. Bigger far
than any bull group that exists. he
declared Nature has stepped in and
taken control of the situation. The
supply sheet offer is away below the
needs Of the world. The bulls foresaw
this and now they win.
Many to 90 to wall.
The plight of the big shorts is in
deed desperate. Many of them must
go to the wal. If their contracts stand
out for their fulfillment. it is declar-
ed, and in this event some OF the big
cotton houses involved in their trades
will have difficulty in weathering the
storm.
The trouble declared another bull
operator today, ''is that the bears have
bought cotton in the South and hedg-
ed in the market. 1t amounts to the
saying that for every hundred bales
they bought they sold two hundred.
Now they must make good"
Were Too Confident.
The bears, it is declared, had plen-
ty Of time in which to make good their
shortage had they not been over con-
fident Instead they believed they
could break the market whenever
they saw fit, and instead of covering
part OF their big short lines on profit
able opportunities they further extend
ed them.
Patten is looked upon by bulls and
bears alike today as the biggest. most
far-sighted trader that ever entered a
cotton market His position, 1t is now
generally believed, is not the result of
office speculation but of careful, com
prehenSiye study of every phase of the
cotton situation. He has said that he
is disposed to be merciful to the
shorts He can crush them as he
chooses It is reported that English
brokers are now on their way here to
endeavor to buy back the $4,000 bales
OF ccttcn which the bears had shipped
here from Liverpool in the endeayor
to smash Patten and his associates
1T cost the bears $3.50 to get it
here It will cost much more to get
it back.

This Remarkable Record Has
Not Been EquaIed Here in
Many Years, It Is Stated by
the Officials.
ONLY ONE CONVICTION
FOR THESE HOMiCIDES
Victims Were the Two Meeks,
Two Austrians, E. White
(alIeged), Mrs. F. Allison
and Albert Oickey.

Six, possibly seven, homicides in one
year is the record which Wayne coun.
ty has made in the past twelve months
Undoubtedly this record stands dis
tinctly above all others which have
been made in the past years of the his
tory of the county.
This record started about the mid
die of last May, with the killing ot
Raymond and Alexander Meek. by Joel
Railsback; six months later, two Aus.
trians we're murdered in an Austrian
camp on the Pennsylvania railroad
west of Centerville. and then follows
the more recent murders of Mrs. Frank
ularly believed that the seventh homi
eide victim was Eddie X. White. While
the verdict of Coroner BramkamI
seems to substantiate the cause ol
death to be murder, the grand jury has
not completed it's investigation and
the real cause of the young farmers
death has not been officially announc
ed.
Only One Punished.
The result has been that up to date
Charles A. Revalee, the murderer OF
Mrs. Allison. is the only one to be pun.
ished. He received a life sentence to
Michigan City penitentiary. Joel
Railsback, who killed the Meeks, was
exonerated from all criminal blame be-
cause It was clearly proven that he act
ed in self defense, and to protect his
parents and brothers. No prosecution
ever developed in the murder of the
two Austrians because no evidence
could be found which would incrimi-
nate anyone. For the murder of AL.
bert Dickey, colored, William Lewis
colored. is under arrest and confined
In the county Jail without bond
awaiting the result of the grand jury
Investigation. The grand jury will
examine into the death of Eddie White
Monday and II any indictments are to
be returned. it is expected that they
will be made known Tuesday
The motives for the various homi-
cides are widely different. In the case
of the killing of the Meeks, the latter
1t is alleged were the aggressors The
Railsbacks were engaged in tearing
down division line fence when fired
upon by the Meeks.
Staying Of Austrians.
The authorities could never fathom
the double murder of the Austrians
Members of the camp said the two for
eigners had visited the camp and were
in the act of robbing some of the
sleepers when killed. The authorities
have always doubted this tale. bu.
were never able to substantiate their
opinion, that the double murder was
the result Of drunken brawl.
Young Revalee killed Mrs. Allison
and fired the home to prevent discov
cry of his crime of robbery of tht
| homestead. 1t is said that Alber
Dickey was killed because Of i'll feel
| ing which William Lewis bore him
What was the motive of the alleges
murder Of Eddie White, remains to b
developed.

the deaths of the Meeks and the Aus
