WHOLESALE TRIMMING
MADE IN STATE POLICE

Following the recommendation of
the legislature at the special session
that the governor reduce state police
force to a captain and two subordi-
mates, the new policy of ~retreneh-
ment took shape when c. II. Stone of
the state police force was dismissed.
That additional reductions would
soon be made was the statement of
Captain Donnelly of the state police
force. but it could not be determined
when the wholesale trimming would
take place.
II was stated that the force would
be reduced to the captain and four
subordinates the fortunate members
retained on the pay roll being In
speetor Cahlan, Sergeant Newgaard.
Harry Fravel and c. y. Clark. Those
scheduled for official retirement in
addition to Sergeant Stone are Frank
Buck. T f. O'Brien, Jack Lacy. S. H.
Amigo and J. +. Taylor.
Lacy has been serving as an active
reserve and his duty has consisted of
caring for the valuable houn' dogs
who have been i'll since becoming the
property of the stare
OF the six men who are scheduled
for dismissal four are married and
the entire number retained on the
pay roll are married and make their
homes in Reno.
II could not be determined when
the further reduction of the police
force will be made, but it is expected
that the men slated will be informed
shortly of the action taken.

ITALIAN ACCUSED
OF HEn|0US CRIME

Luigi Luilio, an Italian laborer, OF
Verdi, was arrested by Justice of
the Peace Morril, of Verdi, on a
charge of criminal assault on the
person of Stella Giallino, a 9-year-
old girl.
That a lynching was averted was
due to the efforts of Morril, who
made the arrest and placed him in
Jail till an auto bearing Sheriff Fer
rel could reach the scene and take
him to Reno, as a number of Verdi
citizens headed by the girls father
were determined to have his life.
says the Reno Journal.
The girls father upon hearing the
story from the lips of his child inn
mediately started out to kill him and
it was only due to the bravery of
Morrill,. who faced the father and his
friends. that Liulio was saved.
Liulio who is a mar so years of age
has been showing attentions to the
girl for some time but the parents
believing it to be the affections of an
old man toward a child never gave
the matter any thought till the child
came home and told the story.
The prisoner is now confined in
the county Jail where he will be held
until the converting of the grand jury
which meets In a short time.

b. the arm of the law"
A Test Case, Says Wise.
District Attorney Wise made this
statement of the governments view
of the case:
THE defendants, doing business
as brokers, sought to create a mar
ket for certain stocks of which they
held large blocks under option.
These stocks they sought to sell -
their customers at inflated market
prices with a secret profit to them
selves. In aid of their stock selling
campaign they put Il market
literature ~cleverly devised to induce
the public To accept their advice to
order the purchase of the pr tieular
stoek in which they expected to
make this secret profit.
These and other similar practices
with which they were charged have
been common in this city. Those en-
gagged in such practices have not
heretofore been prosecuted. and 1t
has not hitherto been supposed to be
practicable to prosecute them under
the federal statutes. The case has
been regarded by the government as
a test case and one of far-reaching
Importance in that aspect. lis sue
cessful termination has establi he'd
the criminal responsibility of brokers
for practices which 1t had been COM
monty supposed would expose them
at the most to civil liabilities. The
prosecution, / am informed, has al
ready had considerable effect in this
community. The resulting ~conyic-
ton should have a still further
effect.
Taking into consideration the ex-
penditure of time and money that
would be involved in the completion
of a trial the end of which was not
yet in sight. the hardship to the
jurors in the case and the likelihood
of some casualty that would result
in mistrial, the government has felt
that it would not be justified in OPP
posing the plea of the principal often
der. In my opinion, the interests of
Justice did not require the further
prosecution of the other defendants
who were minor offenders, and mere
tools in the employ of Rice. and
upon whom the lengthy trial had al
ready operated as a serious punish
ment."
In government circles it is asserted
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1912-04-07

that the trial has already cost the
government $4,000, as we'll as oc-
cupying the time of three district at
torneys and preventing other press
ing criminal cases from coming to
trial.
Mining Engineers Inconvenience.
Mining engineers and other min
ing men who had been summoned
from the west to attend the trial,
had been greatly Inconvenience by
the length of the trial and had also
been obliged to give up pressing
business obligations in order to be
ON hand when they might be sum-
mcned as witnesses AS their fee
when on the witness stand was at
the rate of $3.50 a day, they also al
legged that they have lost a great
deal of money as a result of the long
drawn-out session.
About so more witnesses were UNI
der subpoena by the defense, and it
was fairly expected that the govern
ment would need a little more testi-
mony in rebuttal. So it was no ex-
aggeration to say that speculation as
to whether the ease would be CON
cluded before summer holidays was
absolutely legitimate.
Some of the evidence was amusing.
The so-called "Squawk Sheet" of the
firm in which were entered the names
of the customers who we're making
their demands felt u~npleasantly, and
some extremely strange kilograms
which passed between Rice and the
managers of the out-of-town branch
es which were not meant for pub
lication, were put in evidence.
But not a syllable of evidence was
admitted without the most vigorous
opposition on the part of the defense.
When one of the corps of counsel had
has his say and had been o~verruled,
another would begin to present the
same type of argument from a diff
ferent standpoint. Judge Ray has
shown to each of the ~counsels before
him the most unwearied patience. He
has permitted every one of them 10
have their say at length and has him
self entered into the legal points be-
fore him with painstaking investiga-
tion.
Sometimes the proceeding have
been adjourned to permit of a fuller
discussion of the teehnicalities ut

been compelled - sit on the stand for

was argued. AL times the counsel

sions were made TO what might hap

LAW INDICATED
IN RICE CAASE
IN SENTENCING DEFENDANT,
JUDGE RAY OF NEW YORK
SAYS THAT PROSECUTION OF
BROKERS WAS INSTITUTED
UNDER NEW STATUTE.

Judge Ray, who tried the Rice case,
in his address to the defendants took
occasion to express his opinion of
the actions of Rice and Scheftels and
explains the governments reason
for the sentence of one year. Both
he and the district attorney feel that
the law has been indicated and their
comments are here reproduced.
The proceedings in court were
brief. Mr.. Baldwin, acting for both
Rice and Scheftels, entered the with
drawal of their pleas and Judge Ray
then addressed the defendants. He
said:
This prosecution was instituted
under a statute recently amended,
and this ease is the first of the kind
as to the nature and character of the
scheme to defraud ever instituted or
prosecuted under it. 1t has been an
important EAST to the government
and the people of the country as a
whole, and TO the post Office depart
ment, which undertakes also to pre-
yent the prosecution of the great in
situations of our government.
THE punishment of offenders is
not the first consideration of courts
in the administration of the criminal
law. 1t is beyond the power of any
man or court TO measure the heart
of a mar with any accuracy; his mo-
tiyes or his weaknesses. The main
purpose is TO yindicate the law, give
the public I understand there is a
law and that its provisions cannot
be violated with #impunity and also to
give a warning to those liable to of
fend that punishment is certain.
I'm this case the main purpose of
the law has been accomplished. Men

course the court is about to pursue
in the case of yourself, Mr.. Rice and
of you Mr.. Scheftels. Many will
think the sentence of the court is not
adequate to the offense to which you
have entered a plea of guilty. but
the court takes the responsibility,
remembering that Vengeance is
mine; / will repay, saith the Lord,
and that the certainty and not the
severity of the punishment is the
most certain preventive of crime.
Long terms of Imprisonment are es-
sential when the offender is a con
irmed criminal and dangerous to So
ciety. a dangerous man to be at large.
In your ease / do not regard a long
term of imprisonment essential to
either vindication of law or to the
protection of society. The law is
indicated. and the prosecution by
the government fully justified"
The court then sentenced Rice and
addressing Scheftels. said:

The Observers critic falls in to the
usual error of others of his ilk who
fawn at the feet of Roosevelt, in as
suming that all who oppose him are
the cohorts of dishonesty in affairs
of government. This obviously is
untrue. Those who oppose Mr..
Roosevelt are doing so because they
are either Republicans or Democrats
and believe in the perpetuity of the
principles promulgated by these par
ties. So far as The Observer is con-
cerned it is a Republican newspaper.
Had Roosevelt been the nominee of
the National convention at Chicago,
it would have supported him, just as
it is working for President Taft, or
for any man named by that cOnven-
ton. But Roosevelt forced his can
didacy upon the people. He called
himself as their leader and when he
saw that he could not succeed, he
refused to permit his friends to COM

the annihilation of the Republican
party to whose principles he formerly
ascribed, and which had honored
him with the highest office in the

lie repudiated his former friends,
betrayed his sacred word to the
American people, and has since given
us an illegitimate organization with
scrambled platform and a peren-

an opportunity to again become the
dictator of the United States. The
Observer opposes such methods. 1t
most certainly believes in honesty
and fair play Roosevelt practices
neither, politically. When we view
the personnel of the great CD ban

The Time for Dinner

From the London Chronicle.
 The hour of dining has advanced with the centuries. Froissart mentioned wait ing on the Duke of Lancaster at 5 in the afternoon, after he had supped and was about to so to bed. and the preface to the Heptameron shows that the Queen of Navarro dined at 10 o'clock in the morn- ing. From the Northumberland House. hold Book. dated 15l2, we learn that the ducal family rose at 6, breakfasted at :, dined at 10. supper at and retired for the night at g.
