Liquor Dumped Into Ditch

Yerington, Nevada, Dec. 31.-Six
hundred dollars worth of liquor,
which was confiscated last week
from the cellar of the Bank saloon.
was poured into the irrigation ditch
in front of the saloon this morning
by the sheriff and his deputies in the
presence of the justice and numerous
spectators.
George F. Butler, the owner of the
saloon in which the liquor was found,
entered a plea of guilty Saturday be-
fore Justice E. A. Blanchard in ans
wering to a charge Of having intoxi-
eating liquor in his possession un-
lawfully. He received the minimum
fine.
Butler was arrested last Thursday
when Chief of Police Lamkin and his
deputies searched the Bank saloon
on a warrant. Since. the arrest, the
liquors have been stored in the
sheriff's office in the county Jail.

Prompt denial came from Paris of
the report that the American delega-
ton had agreed to the sinking of the
surrendered German war vessels. The
president said he was absolutely OPP
posed to such a course, and Secretary
Lansing declared the proposition had
not even been discussed.

Death OF Heir TO
Manuel OSCOz Estate

Mondays Reno Gazette has the
following announcement of the death
of Usobio Yribarren, a nephew and
principal heir to the estate of the
late Manuel Oszoz, a sheep mar we'll
known in this section of Nevada, who
died at Reno on December 3:
Usobio Yrlbarren, nephew to Man.
uel Oscoz and heir to the estate left
by Oscoz, died here Saturday night
from typhoid fever following a short
illness.
The death of Yribarren, who was
in business with Oscoz, opened up an
interesting chain of circumstances in
connection with the death of the
two men and reveals how men COM
ing to this country are able through
hard work to build up a considerable
fortune in the sheep business.
Oscoz, who had not been in the
United States many years, was worth
over $50, 900 when he died, and in his
will Yribarren was made the princi-
pal beneficiary, with Yribarren's sis
ter. Mrs. Juoquina Laraqui. wife of
a business mar of Reno, also coming
in for a share of the estate.
Through Yribarren's will Mrs.
Laraqui is given the greater part of
the estate, while a brother, Joe Yri-
barren of Elko, is also one of the
heirs. Yribarren was we'll known in
Reno. He died at S:15 O'Clock Sat
urday night and Oscoz died at $40
o'clock on the night of December 8.

expedition Of at least 10000 be sent.
They have not received much encour-
agement Of their plea for Intervention.
Here is one Of the many instances
that made 1t impossible for the out
slider to understand what is going on
in Russia: Last summer Skoropadski,
hetman of the Ukraine, was deposed
and driven out because he was notori-
ously the tool of the Germans. A few
days ago a dispatch from Warsaw said
Skoropadski and the French troops
were advancing from Odessa to bring
the Ukrainian situation under control.
Italy and the Jugo-Slavs are no near
er agreement concerning the western
coast Of the Adriatic than they were
a week ago, and their dispute undoubt-
eddy must be settled by the interallied
conference. Jugo-Slavia has not yet
been recognized as a nation and its
leaders want to know who will repre-
sent its component parts, Serbia, Mon
tenegro and large parts of the former
Austrian empire, in the peace congress.
RI
The senate passed, without q roll
call, the largest tax measure in the
worlds history. 1t is designed to raise
$4,000, OOO.O 0 in 1919 and $4,000, 900, 900
in 1920. Among the amendments &C
copied was one making the District of
Columbia "bone dry" and another levy
ing a 100 per cent tax on all campaign
contributions in excess of $500. The
latter, it is supposed, will weaken the
influence of "big business" in politics.

Mingling business and pleasure,
President Wilson spent a busy Christ
mas week in France and England.
After two days of conference in Which
several pressing problems, notably h a
of supplying food to the hungry peO-
pies of Europe, were thoroughly dis
cussed, Mr.. Wilson and his party
were taken to Chaumont to spend
Christmas day with the American
troops there. General Pershing was
his host, but the president devoted
much of his time to the %doughboys and
both he and they enjoyed the day i'm
mensely. A review of 10000 American
troops was a feature Of the days do
ings. In the course of his address to
the men of the First army Mr.. Wilson
said: ut vas the privilege of Amer
lea to present the chart for peace and
now the process of settlement has
been made comparatively simple by
the fact that all the nations concerned
have accepted the chart"
Next the presidential party Travelled
to Calais and thence to Dover n
London, arriving in the British capital
Thursday afternoon. Throughout the
trip they were accorded all the honors
that royalty could claim, and the
short drive through London was like
q royal progress. King George, Queen
Mary and Princess Mary met them at
the station and the Household cavalry
acted as escort. AS it was a holiday
boxing day-the entire population or
the metropolis seemed to be out, de-
termined to see the famous American.
After a nights rest in Buckingham
palace Mr.. Wilson met the British war
cabinet and discussed with it the
British peace terms that the cabinet
had formulated for presentation to the
interallied conference preceding the
a congress. On Saturday he con-
ferred with Premier Lloyd George,
Foreign Secretary Balfour and Chan
cellor Of the Exchequer Bonar Law,
and on Sunday went to Carlisle, where
his mother spent her girlhood.
In London there was more than a
hint that the chief object of Mr.. Will
sons visit to England, aside from the
courtesy feature, was to ascertain
definitely the views of the British gov
eminent on the question of the terms
of restitution to be imposed on Ger
many. 1t was said he had found
opinion on the continent very hard set
on this question, which is not in the
least surprising. The people who
were most directly hit by the hard
ships and horrors of the war are not
likely to be forgiving and altruistic
in their attitude toward the conquered
Huns. If, as has been often said,
America is to ask nothing from Ger
many, it would seem to most of us
that the matter of payment might we'll
be left to the victorious nations of Eu-
rope, who do intend to be repaid, so
far as is possible, for their enormous
losses.
The proposed league Of nations
and the cognate question of the free
dom of the seas are still the subject
of warm discussion. both abroad and

needless number of hats and shoes. !.
Barney Baruch has said privately
nd publicly that one of the sure ways
to bring down the high cost of living
and he knows-is to work harder,
produce more, and save as much as is
reasonably possible. This is the policy
outlined by the savings division of
the treasury department, which is now
: working day and night to help put
the nation back on pre-war basis
and to implant in the ( minds 9 and
hearts Of the people those sound
economic principles which, it has been
proved lie at the basis Of success and
happiness. ~ 1isTi Z
