CHIEF JUSTICE POWERS

While Bennington county people
would have been glad to have had
Hon. Loveland Munson appointed
chief justice to succeed Judge Rowell
no real criticism can be made of
Governor Fletcher's selection of
Judge George NJ. Powers for that
important place Judge Powers was
the youngest Of the associate justices
of the supreme court, but the equal
Of any and superior to some. He it
in the prime OF life and physically as
well as mentally qualified to take up
the arduous duties of chief justice.
He is Of the modern type of judges
who believe in doing away with
and red tape methods in order to do
Justice more promptly and with less
expense and trouble for litigants. He
is a man OF absolute integrity and OF
the highest personal standing.
In promoting Judge Taylor of the
Superior bench to be associate judge
of the supreme court Governor Flet-
cher has also done well for Judge
TaNer has come to be recognized as
the strongest of the superior judges
and promotion due to merit is the
best kind Also in making Former
Lieutenant Governor Slack a super
for Judge, the governor has strength.
ened that bench. He is not only an
able lawyer of the best type. but he
has an unusually keen perception OF
Justice and right He is one of those
rare men who would endure personal
wrong and injury to himself rather
than infliet pain or suffering on an
other. He will make one of those
Judges of whom Vermonters will be
proud.
The Banner is naturally graliiied
by these appointments of Governor
Fletcher for The Banner has long
urged that precedent should not be
taken into consideration in making
judicial appointments. The courts
are so important to the welfare of a
state that merit, ability and integrity
alone should be the guide. For
sentimental reasons of county pride
we should have been glad to have
seen Judge Munson made chief JUS
tice. He is man above reproach in
every respect, but because of his
age. which would mean retirement
en- a pension in most states and be-
cause of the exceptional ability OF
Judge Powers, the governor s. cholce
in the matter should be and will be
commended.

OUR PLATFORM

In yesterdays Independent q re-
ference was made to the Retail Mer-
chants Association. The reference
was not justified aud should not
have been made. In justice to that
organization, the Independent had
no intention Of dragging the Retail
Merchants Association into any
controversy. We realize that the
public is not interested in the pri-
vate business or personal idiosyn-
cracies Of newspaper editors or re-
porters and any allusions in the fu-
ture to our competitor will be
good natured badinage or friendly
criticism. If we have a personal
grievance we will settle the matter
personally or IA court rather than
inflict the public by personalities
or indicative abuse.

Prof. j E Bray, State Superin-
tendent of public instruction passed
through for Carson City IN No 8

arranged to establish a county

compliance with law which per-
mifs the establishing Of q county

as many as Ave graduates Of the

they will enter the school and con
tinue the period Of one year. A

CLAIM JUMPERS BEWARE

The expression "claim jumping"
is taboo in Rochester, but it is the
custom to speak of certain opera
&iuns aS- premature locations. "
One such case has been so much
in evidence and so freely and
warmly discussed In the camp dur
ing the last few days that the Ro-
chester Commercial Club took the
matter up and appointed a COM
mittee to make an investigation.
A report was made by the COM
mittee at a meeting Monday even
ing.
The public will probably never
know just what action was taken by
the meeting but warning has gone
forth that it is better for all stake
drivers to act as honorable pro-
spectors.
The penalty for acting otherwise
will probably not be msted out by
any court of Jurisprudence. jui Is

RECORDER ASKED FOR
MRS. CHARLTON'S RECORD

F. D4neo, Royal Consul General
Of Italy, whose headquarters are
in San Francisco has written tc
County Recorder Greathouse for a
certified copy Of the birth certifi.
cate of Miss Mary Crittenden
Scott who was born in Elko either
in 1870 or 1871.
Her fathers name was Henry
Harrison Scott. Her mothers
maiden name was Annie Robinson.
1t is supposed this woman was
the wife Of Porter Charlton who is
on trial for the murder of his wife
at Lake Como, Italy several years
ago.
Charlton's wife was born and
raised in Elko and after she left
this town she met and married
Charleton. She was murdered in
Italy several years ago.
A day or two ago the Italian
prosecuting attorney asked for the
certified records connected with
the birth, marriage and other i'm.
portant events in the Charlton wo.
mans life and the request from
the San Francisco Consul General
is believed to be the result Of the
prosecutors demand. Up to a late
hour this afternoon no record Of
the Scott woman's birth could be
found at the courthouse. The
files Of the Independent for several
years were gone over but no record
Of the woman's bieth was found.

Gigantic Robbery Is
Revealed In San

San Francisco, Sept 27-That the
United States mint here has been
looted Uf vast sums which may
amount to $3.50 900 or more is the
general belief of those who are
familiar with the scandal which
has just developed. Government
officials at the mint are reticent
and refuse 70 give out any state
ment regarding the details of how
the robbery was committed. The
best secret service men have been
detailed to the case and startling
deye bments are expected soon.

.HYSTERICAL WITNESS
HALTS PROCEEDINGS

The suit of Tom Panagakes
against Ben Banquet Mexican
for an accounting and dissolution
of the partnership they had in the
Depot saloon came to sudden
ending, for the time being, this
morning in District Court when
Banquet the defendant who wss
on the stand became enraged over
questions put to him by Judge Cur
Ter. The examination had been
going few minutes when Judge
Curler sought to have Planquett
explain how he made one statement
yesterday and another today on
the same matter.
Suddenly Planpuett became bys-
terical and declared he would not
answer any more questions and the
plaintiff could be awarded all the
property involved in this suit.
Attorneys for both sides tried to
argue and reason with the witness
but of no avail. Deputy Sheriff
Lamon also tried to reason with
Banquet but had no better snccess.
Both attorneys Caine and Hendar-
son apologized to the court for the
unseemly conduct Of their client.
MIR Caine said the man hadn't had
any breakfast and had about eight
drinks Of whiskey and was likely
being affected by the booze. Every
body else in the court room except
Judge Curler thought the same
way. Judge Taber said Blanquett's
actions were gross contempt Of
court and under ordinary circum-
stances he would be obliged to pun
ish the offender severely but in this
case he was inclined 20 give Blan-
quett the benefit of the doubt and
be lienient with him. Judge Taher
talked kindly TO Blanquett and told
him if he hoped to receive mercy
from the court he must come to
court in the future in sober con.
dition. Blanquett said he would
do SO and the case was adjourned
to two o'clock this afternoon. At
torneys for hoth sides are trying to
reach an agreement out of court,
and until they are able TO do so
they will ask the court to have the
sheriff or some other disinterestad
party run tho depot saloon. It 10
possible that the property may be
disposed of and the proceeds divid-
ed between the two partners.
Judge Taber will decide later
regarding the punishment for Blan-
quett's contempt Of court.
