the fact was brought out and will he
placed before the commission that he
also served in a. similar capacity for

that the steamer Of the Gulf Transit
Co. would be given preference over
that of steamer consigned to an in

reason the company had repeatedly re-

Tarpon was that this vessel came into
competition with the Louisville &,

the authority for this action upon the
decision of the supreme court num-

STOREY COUNTY
OFFICERS DID NOT
COMPOUND FELONY

The officers of Storey county, es-
pecially the justice of the peace
and the district attorney do not
believe in compounding a felony,
when persons are arrested for vio-
lating the gambling law, but fol-
low the law as printed in the
statutes of this state, as will be
seen by the following, from the
Virginia Chronicle:
-Four men have been indicted
by the Storey county grand jury for
gambling. Three have been ar
rested and bail fixed at $4,000.
The three arrested are: Thomas
Carney, Ed Carney and H. c
Lawson, better known as Nilsson.
The two Carneys are out on bail
while Nilsson is languishing in the
county jail. The fourth warrant
is out and an arrest is to follow

Last evening about o'clock the

taken. Mrs. Brann, the proprie-

the article stolen, but did not wish

there will be legal developments,
and possibly a nice little sensation

MACHIN|ST IS

face showing the remains of many
bruises, Alfred Ingram, a strike
breaker of Sparks, yesterday appear
ed in the district attorneys office
in this city and secured warrant
for the arrest of Detective Morgan

OTHERS ARE MIXED IN THE
BR|BING OF A RICE JUROR

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-It is re-
ported here that the government
plans a number of arrests additional
to that of G. ]. Byrne in connec-
tion with the alleged attempts at
jury bribing in the Rice-Scheftels
case. Secret service agents have
followed Bryne night and day since
the 10th, when Juror Dale first
informed the district attorney of the
advances alleged to have been made
to him. The secret service agents
are said to have secured impor-
tant evidence involving others in
the plot.
Byrne is identified as a man who
had been seen around the court
room and corridors ever since the
trial began, mixing freely with the
witnesses and jurors. He has fig
ured as burlesque actor and avi-
alton promoter. He denies having
tried to bribe Juror Dale, who has
already given his story to the grand
jury, which resulted in the inlet
ment of Byrne, who is confined il
the Tombs under a $4,000 bond
Dale has the appearance of one
who leads the simple life and thu
government thinks Byrne picket
him out for an easy mark for hi
purpose.
Fearing the effect on the jury o
the sensational exposure, the de
fense will probably ask ney
trial.
When Louis J. Vorhaus, chic
counsel for the defendants, learne
of the arrest of Byrne, he sum
moned his associates to a hurrie
conference. Later there was a con
sultation between the Rice-Scheftel
counsel and Judge Ray, who is try
ing the case. Following this cor
sultation Judge Ray announced at
journment of the court. 81 do nc

This development may result il

Vorhaus said last night that he had
told Judge Ray that if any of the
defendants or anyone in their be-
half was responsible for the alleged
tampering with the jury, he would
withdraw from the case, but he
added that he had been assured by
all the defendants that they had
nothing to do with it and each
denied any knowledge of the acts
of Byrne.
