BANKERS WON'T PAY LICENSE

Trouble piled up again for the
shsritf's Office when demands were
made yesterday on the banks of
the city to pay the regular quar-
terly county license provided for
by law. Two banks the Schee-
line Banking and Trust Company
and the Washoe county bank made
an absolute refusal to pay the IL
cense and the third, the Nevada
Saving and Trust Company asked
time in which to consult an attor-
ney.
The banks take the position that
by the payment of q state license
amounting to $500 a year, they
have paid all the license they leg
ally can be asked to pay for con-
Quoting q banking business. They
contend that to compel them to pay
county license of $75 a quarter,
in addition to the state license al
ready paid would be double taxa
tion.
Last quarter the same point was
raised but only one bank, the
Scheeline Banking and Trust com.
paDy refused to pay. The matter
has been placed in the hands OF
the district attorney and probably
will be submitted to the attorney.

SCORE HITS ERRORS
GRAND JURY HANDS
UP ITS FINAL REPORT

The Grand Jury called for the
October term of court finished its
work yesterday and presented its
final report to Judge Taber.
The suggestion of Judge Taber to
the Grand Jury that some scheme
be provided for caring for insane
people is considered and a recon-
mendation is made to the County
Commissioners that the necessary
padded cells be constructed in the
courthouse presumably in the base
ment.
The Grand Jury also recommends
the repair of county roads over
which crops will have to be hauled
to market. The full report of the
Grand Jury follows
eve, the Grand Jury of Elko
County have examined the report
Of the Elko County expert account
ant for the first half of the year
1918, and find it a very able and
thorough report. 1t has been re-
ferred to the District Attorney of
this county with the recommends
tions that he examine it very thor
oughly and investigate any discrep-
ancies which he may find therein
and take such action as he deems
proper in the premises.
1--WE have inquired into the mat
ter Of padded cell for insane pat
tents who are held pending exami-
nation, and for a cell to be used for
delinquents, temporarily unbalanc-
ed, who become noisy and cannot
be kept without serious annoyance
to the public, with the other pris-
oners in the county Jail. And we
recommend that the County Com
missioners of Elko County proceed
to construct such cells in the base
ment of the Elko County courthouse
at such place or places therein as
shall be decided upon by them act
ing with the Sheriff of Elko Coun-
ty. We recommend that the cell
for the detention Of these unfortu-
nate patients be made as roomy
and comfortable as is consistent
with safety.
eve recommend to the County
Highway Commission of Elko coun-
ty and to the county Road Super
visor that in repairing roads dur
ing the present fall, preference be
given to roads which will facilitate
the moving of crops to market; and
special attention be directed to
those roads which, like the lower
road from Elko to South Fork,
have been made practically impass-
ible by reason Of the recent rain.

to light such peculiar facts that an
autopsy WAS ordered and the stom-
ach and intestines of the admiral
were turned over for chemical an
alysis to Medical Examiner Osgood.
Although no full report Of the re-
suit of this examination was ever
given out for publication, Professor
Whitney of Harvard Medical
School, who made the analysis, in
formed the authorities that Rear
Admiral Eaton had died from pois-
on and on the strength of this it,
formation an inquest was begun
which continued for some time and
led to the indictment and arrest of
Mrs Jennie May Eaton, the widow
of the admiral on the charge Of
having poisoned her husband.
The testimony given at the in
quest was Of rather startling and
sensational nature and brought to
light the skeleton IN the Eaton clos
OF. 1t was brought to light that at
the time when Admiral Eaton's
first wife was in her last illness,
Mrs Ainsworth, an intimate friend
of hers, was visiting her. Shortly
before her death Mrs Eaton, feel
ing her end was near, asked Mrs
Ainsworth to look after her hus-
band after her death. Admiral
Eaton did not learn until after he
had married her, in accordance
with the wish Of his deceased wife
that she had husband living and
had obtained a divorce from him
only a few days before her second
marriage. Mrs Ainsworth had two
daughters from her first marriage
Miss June Ainsworth and Dorothy
| Ainsworth. After Mrs Ainsworth tn s
marriage TO Admira al Eaton there
was a great deal Of friction between
the admiral and his wife's elder
daughter who seems to have been
the principal cause Of the trouble
10 the household. Mr. and Mrs
Eaton adopted a little boy, but the
child died and at that time Mrs
Eston's daughter caused a ssnsa-
tion by accusing the admiral OF
having poisoned the child. This
charge was found to be untrue,
however.
After the death of Rear Admiral
Eaton, Mrs June Ainsworth Meyes
made bitter attacks upon the char.
acter of the admiral, repeated the
charge that he had poisoned hit
