PROHIBITION LAW WILL BE
ENFORCED. DECLARES KELLY

The San Francisco Chronicle
prints the following interview from
w. A. Kelly:
prohibition reinforcement agents
will continue to arrest persons with
liquor in their possession" said VIII
liam Kelly. supervising enforcement
officer of the Pacific Coast, yester-
day. regardless of what courts and
juries may do. | am under $3.50, 900
bond to enforce the prohibition
amendment and my men are going
to see that the law is obeyed. Kelly
continued:
AS the result of publication today
that courts would not try petty vio-
iators or persons with liquor in their
pocket, a man walked into n of
the most prominent drinking places
in town-a Iaw-abiding establishment
drew a flask of whiskey from his
pocket, set il on the bar and ordered
some ginger ale with which To mix
a highball. The practice will become
universal if hip-pocket violators are
allowed to run loose, and the prohibi-
ton law will be a joke.
AS long as | am hired TO enforce
the prohibition act | will do my
sworn duty. This department will
not cease to make arrests.
"Why don't juries convict moro
bootleggers and other violators of
the Volstead act Well, on one jury
the other day were seven former bar
tenders. What can one expect with
such a jury
During the three months the law
has been in effect we have made only
two searches of baggage or pockets.
But ii We suspect a man is carrying
whiskey in his clothes or his grip
we will search it. And we won't
wait for a search warrant either. We
don't have to have a search warrant
in securing evidence in order to
make the evidence legal. The law
plainly states that possession Of
liquor is Illegal. No officer suspect
ing a man of carrying concealed
weapons first gets a search warrant
before searching him. 1t is Just as
illegal TO tote whiskey as a gun.
I'VE will continue TO arrest any
and all violators of the prohibition
law and hiring our prisoner and evil
dence to court

The result of the report of the
grand jury will no doubt have the eff
feet of relieving the minds of some
that there EXISTS no deep dark plot
to slip one over on the blind-folded
goddess by tampering with the
scales.
The grand jury was composed OF
men of the highest standing who nn-
dertook the disagreeable work re-
quired of them with a spirit of fair
ness, fearing none and favoring none,
but free from the idiocracy of the
fly that passes over the sound parts
and lights on the sores.
In the report the jury took into
consideration the difficulty of the
small leaven that leaveneth the whole
loaf when the whole loaf refuses the
general assimilating change. They
realized that the enforcement ahso-
lutely of the Prohibition act was a
reverse of nature as nearly all
radical changes are the result of fer
mentation and that the distributors
of the new germ "Prohib' had a dit
ficult talk to inject the new serum
in unwilling subjects.
The jury mill was ready to receive
the grist for grinding offered by the
public, but judging from the report
the stock of grist in the local grair-
cries of gossip had been eaten 10
husks by the elusive mice of facts
and were unfit for the mill that
grinds slowly but surely.
The jury clearly pointed out the
proverb that demands the plucking
of TIE beam from thine own eye TO
enable thee 10 see clearly to pick opt
the mote in thy brothers eye.
Facts and not surmises was what
the jury looked for and the report
was a statement of facts. The air
is clearer and Ely is not so bad after
all. 1t is not q nice bird that fouls
its own nest.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
We have investigated all buildings
and grounds, property of White Pine
County, and found same to be in good
condition. with the exception of the
County Hospital. which is badly in
need of repairs, but inasmuch as We
were informed by our County Com
missioners that plans We're being
drawn for a new hospital. we think
it needless TO spend money for any
repairs on the old building. . We
found facilities for the handling of
the insane while being held here very
roor, and suggest that the county
provide one padded cell TO be used
for these unfortunate people.

COUNTY ROADS.

We have made careful inyestiga.
ton of all the principal roads of the
county and find them In as good con
dition as can be reasonably expected
at this time of the year. We believe
the Board of County Commissioners
should be commended for the interest
they are taking in this important
subject. They are apparently en-
gagged in the undertaking of con-
structing and maintaining as good
roads as the funds of the county will
allow and the present traffic re-
quires.. We suggest that the princi-
pal county roads receive distinctive
names and be marked with individ-
ual markers, distinctive in color and
of permanent and inexpensive con
struction and that such roads use the
county seat as the starting point so
far as feasible. We further eco
mend that the Lincoln Highway
across Antelope Valley be repaired
"hit tuc SiOullu lS sui moist II
that it be maintained In n creditable
condition until such time as the
state shall construct "A permanent
road in that locality.
We also recommend that the com.
missioners cause a new road TO be
laid out and constructed between the
east side of Spring valley and the
summit of Sacramento pass. We
should also suggest to the City Coun.
ell of Ely that the city purchase a
grader to be used with its truck; also
that the four bridges over hurry
Creek be provided with more ade.
quate guard rails, painted white and
so located as to be plainly yiyible al

of this jury that a number of men

We have examined the records OF

been paid into the county treasury in
the regular manner. We recommend

a complete record be kept of all ar
rests made and the disposition of
such be retained Is a permanent rec
ord for reference at all times. 1t is
the opinion of this grand jury that
a greater effort be made In the flu
ture TO ecure evidence leading to
the conviction of persons engaged in
the illegal making and selling of
whiskey in the city and county and
that the sheriff's officers should make
a diligent effort to bring the Offend

ties.

We have made a careful check OF
the records of the Office of the JUS

and find the same to be correct. We
find that in a general way, the office
is conducted in a business-like man

WITHDRAWAL OF U. S.
TROOPS FROM SIBERIA
Depends on Removal of
Czecho- -Slovak Soldiers, Now
Near COMPLETION.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-America's poll
cy in Siberia will be announced publicly
by the state department in a few days.
it was learned today.
The original purpose of the American
forces in Siberia--to protect the with
drawal of Czecho- Slovak troops---is be-
ing rapidly accomplished. The Czecho-
Slovak troops are being gradually
withdrawn and if this movement is
completed shortly it Is possible that the
American troops will be taken from ST.
IBERIA, unless other reasons for their
maintenance there arise. Secretary of
War Baker stated that there is no other
reason for keeping American troops in
Siberia than the maintenance of trans
siberian railroad. American troops have
been largely responsible for keeping
this road in service and according to
secretary Baker II the troops are with
drawn the railway will probably cease
to function and Siberian transportation
will be tied up. leaving the antibolshe-
Wiki and allied forces there in great
difficulties. If American troops are kept
in Siberia to continue the operation of
this railroad other troops must be kept
there for the protection of the railroad
forces, he said

Officials of Kansas and Okla
homa Seek to Identity
Disease.

Kansas City. Jan. 1s.-(A. P)-
Whether the mysterious intestinal
malady which has affected several
hundred persons in Kansas and
Oklahoma exists in other communi-
ties of the southwest today was a
matter of speculation. Pending re-
ports officials of the two states were
trying to identify the disease and en-
ploy means for checking it's spread.
Topeka, Kan, and Muskogee,
Okla, apparently were the worst
sufferers. At Topeka 200 cases had
been reported and unofficial esti-
mates placed the number at 1000.
Many school children were among
those i'll. At Muskogee there were
about 300 cases.
No fatalities were reported at
either place and the death list from
the malady remained at four, all at
Skiatook. the little Oklahoma town
where it first became prevalent. The
situation was believed to be under
control, however.

U. 5. HASN'T CONSIDERED
TRIAL OF EX-KAISER

Washington, Jan. 13.-Secretary of
State Lansing said today that he knew
nothing OF any consideration by the
United States of participation in
the proposed trial of the kaiser. lie
indicated that this government will not
give the matter consideration.
President Wilson's action in calling
the first meeting of the league of ma
tions will not set precedent for further
participation in the provisions of the
treaty, Secretary Lansing said.
The question of participation of the
United States in the trial of the kaiser
is one which has been most carefully
avoided thus far by officials here with
the treaty still unratted by the senate
both White House and state department
officials have refused to talk publicly
concerning the trial OF the kaiser. for
many realize that il may add 10 the
confusion and difficulty which now
exist with regards to the treaty. This
question is expected to bring about
a new and very heated controversy
There are members of the senate who
do not favor our participation in any
trial of the kaiser. and there are others
who feel that not TO participate would
be a neglect OF duty. and. therefore,
the administration expects severe criu-
Cism OF whatever course IL may choose
Thus far both President Wilson and
Secretary OF State Lansing have main
tained absolute silence on their views
Of the matter.
