PETERSON DENIES
RAMSTEDT CHARGES
Uses Emphatic Language in Refer.
ence to Treasury Lootins
Inference

Boise, Idaho, Jan. Branding as
a "damnable, hell brewed lie" the in
ference that he participated In the
looting of the state treasury to the
extent of $500 as made in the Ram
stedt report submitted to the legisla
ture by Governor Alexander, Attor
ney General j. II. Peterson has Is
sued a statement containing a sweep
ing denial Of the charge and to this
Expert Ramstedt has replied.
II shall tell my story to the grand
jury to any legislative committee
said Attorney General Peterson. He
then gives a history OF the Ramstedt
report from the time Expert Ram
stedt was appointed to investigate
the treasury until he filed It. Intro
ducing this history. Peterson says:
Anything Of a low and putrid
character might perhaps have been
expected from this gang Of Shiny po
litical sewer rats" he says, "but It
was perhaps generally thought that
a lingering spark of manhood might
prevent their attempting to infest an
innocent man with their foul and
disease laden breath"
To which Examiner Ramstedt re-
piled tonight:
Il do say that o. V. Allen advanc.
ed to j. II. Peterson and that J. II.
Peterson received amounts aggregat-
ing $500 belonging to the people OF
the state OF Idaho. do not say that
Mr.. Peterson knew in his heart that
this was state money when he receiv.
ed 1t, neither do l say that he did not
intend to return 1t, but do say that
the state reasury is short to the ex.
tent OF $500 on account OF this tran
saction. Whether Mr.. Peterson
knew that this was state money when
he received It is a question to be de-
termined by competent tribunal.
81 propose to devote all the time at
my disposal and, II necessary, my
life, to exterminate the maggots that
have been circulating in and about
the state treasury"
On the advice OF Attorney General
Peterson, Warden Shook of the state
penitentlary today denied Examiner
Ramstedt the right to examine the
books and accounts OF the penal in,
stitution, although Ramstedt was
armed with a commission to do so
from Governor Alexander. An open
clash followed. and removal proceed
ings may be Instituted by the gov.

Blind Pigs in Wet Territory

One of the arguments of the liquorites is that
Prohibition creates b1ind-pigs. Anyone who has in
vestgated knows that there are more blind-pigs in
wet territory than in dry.
According to the Rock Island Argus, there are
between IS and 40 such places in Rock Island Care
full investigation by the Argus reveals the fact that
there IA government retail liquor dealer licenses
held in that city. There are but o5 licensed saloons
and but 22 drug stores holding government licenses.
This leaves 81 government licenses not accounted
for in the municipal records Deductng the
Der of wholesale liquor establishments which have
been granted the right to sell liquor by retail there
remains from IS to 40 places in which beer and other
intoxicants sold illegally.
All the evils which, according to the vets, &C
company the illegal sale of liquor far preva-
lent in wet territory than in dry, and far harder to
cope with, for the simple that where any one
may obtain liquor by retail legally, the public does
itself ascertain whether or not there
is illegal selling.
