Bond Conspiracy
Exposed.

Atty. John F. Wilson represented
Stewart and Malone, two other par
ties involved, J, Gray Lucas defended
by. Massey and Adam Patterson
stood ground for DR.. West. The
lawyer for the complaining witness
was gentleman of Hebrew extraction
by the name of Schwartz. After able
arguments by all the attorneys with
Westbrooks and Wilson in the lead
Judge Hayes dismissed the charges
against Drs. West and Massey and
Mr.. Linton.
Detective" Confused.
The famous sleuth", Brusseaux,
who seems to be taken as joke by
most well-informed citizens was
amusingly confused by the rapid
ire of Atty Westbrooks. He was
perturbed by the leading questions
and constrained to perspire prof
usely. Beads of salty sweat ran
down his heavy face in military pre-
cision. His English became dialetic
and everyone could tell that the
seuth had seen service in Dixie.
One could easily picture the sleuth
trailing a plough in the southern
cotton fields. why did Linton give
Massey the bonds " came the ques-
ton. "Well, you see, dat man owed
de doctor quite smart money for
professional suverces." DR.. Massey
gave the lie to this statement and
Editor R. E. Parker got busy with
his pen and Brusseaux still sweated.
The case against Malone and Ste
wart was not settled as they were
still held by the court. Reporters who
covered the case with personal in
terest walked away from the court as
did the gentleman" of the agency.

One Dozen Serious
Questions,

/. WHY WAS 1T, that when the
Packing House Workers attempted
to hold monster demonstration on
Sunday, June 8, 1919, at Justice
Park, 52nd st. and Racine Avenue,
IN which approximately 10000 work
ers desired to march for the purpose
of showing the strength of their or
ganiation, that somebody tried to
make it appear that the Polish work
ers were planning to assassinate the
Jews?
2. WHY WAS IT, that when the
big parade and demonstration was to
be held in the Fairgrounds at Web
ster School, at BIRD st. and Went
worth Ave, somebody waited until
Saturday afternoon, July 18th, 1919,
at at 200 go o., o'clock !, to send - 7enger
house workers, notifyings.s....-@... tigers
A--y-iTe plans and line of march had
been changed, and that the workers
from the West Side would not be
allowed to march with the workers
on the South Side?
8. WHY WAS IT, that whenever
there is a consistent effort made by
hose directly concerned with condi-
ions in their immediate community,
here is always something injected
that prevents those who are directly
affected from doing anything con-
structive by way of carrying out a
program that is admittedly sound in
every detail as pertaining to race re-
lations and community welfare?
4. WHAT invisible force, or COM
bnation of forces, is it that is OPP
posed to people being enlightened on
such subjects as race relations and
community welfare?
5. WHAT particular objections
could there be on the part of anyone
who claims to recognize the rights of
his fellow men, yet who would will
fully prevent people who are inter-
ested in some constructive effort,
from carrying out movement that
would be the direct means of educat-
, ing the people in locality on issues
that are of prime Importance to
everybody concerned?
6. WHAT man, or group of men
could be so biased to the interests of
the whole people, that they would
wilfully prevent such an understand
! ing between the people that would
make for better community and
more agreeable conditions where we
are compelled to live, transact our
business, and raise our families?
7. What sinister forces can there
be that is welding so much power
that they desire such conditions to
continue that would make it neces-
sary to keep an armed guard always
on the alert to prevent needless
clashes?
g. WHO WAS IT who said that
IAN ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" and then try to off
set something that is well known
palatable preventive?
9. WHAT particular interest is it
that has so consistently encouraged
race prejudice?
10. WHAT benefits do the people
who are secretly PROPAGATING
race HATRED derive from same?
II. WHAT leaders, if such there
be, can be relied upon to tell the
whole truth about things that con-
tribute to inter-racial conflicts?
y. WHAT source of relief can
the majority of citizens, both white
and colored, find that will effectively
prevent unnecessary misunderstood
ling?

FOR
STEALING CATTLE

The Lovelock Review Miner says:
The discovery of three head OF cattle
bearing the brand of the Iowa Cattle
Company in the corrals OF e. A.
Perez, a prominent rancher and stock
man of Lovelock, was the basis for
the fling of a criminal complaint In
the justice court last week by Joseph
Hill, local manager of the company.
The complaint charges Perez and
TEX" Mayfeld with stealing the cat
tie and both parties were immediate
ly arrested under a warrant issued by
Justice Kroner.
Both parties gave bail to appear
at the preliminary hearing.
Mr.. Perez states that the first
knowledge he had hat the cattle
were on his ranch was when the Con-
stable apprized him Of the fact. and
Mayfield says that the cattle were on
the road and he simply turned them
into Perez field.
The case promises a sensation
when it comes up for hearing. ac-
cording to report.

ABOUT THE
RESOURCES OF NEVADA

One OF the items printed in the
first issue of the American Mine ne
porter. published at San Francisco, Is
the following, under the heading
Facts about the Silver State:"
Nevada has nearly a million OF
acres of land under cultivation. Five
hundred thousand cattle roam her
free ranges. Sheep to a total OF l.
5000 find subsistence in the desert
place and her mineral product in
1918, according to the United States
Geological Survey reports total $780,
$4,000. She produced one-fourth
of the tungsten used by the armydur-
ing the war-and as every one
knows, tungsten was an important
factor in beating the Hun. Neva-
da's gypsum deposits sustain the
building industry on the Pacific coast
and her silver mines r the Mecca
of the Orient, who are crying for
more and more of the white metal.
And vet we here carping critics say
that Nevada's best days are over |!

molly of the local police force. The
| raiding party was in charge Of r. b.
| Spears, inspector of the State Police.
| The Ten Italians were placed in the

stored in sheds in one of the yards.
The barreland bottles containing jack
ass brandy were found under the
floor in one of the houses, the liquor
being cleverly concealed.
One of the stills taken in the raid
is an elaborate and expensive affair,
made entirely of copper, the contain
er being of solid copper plate about
half an inch in thickness. The other
still is made of galvanized tin and is
identical with the one taken in the
Chinese laundry raided in Reno this
week by Federal prohibition agents.
Two of the ten men arrested last
night were released this morning on
order of Inspector Spears, who found
that they were not connected with the
case.

OVER SIX THOUSAND
BROKERS IN GOTHAM

New York, May 27.-The Govern
ment derives more than 100000
annually in ven from brokers' IL
censes and stock transactions in New
York, says William H. Edwards, col
lector of internal evenue for this dis
trict. Six thousand stock brokers, he
said, pay a license tax of $50 and in
addition a special tax of 500 or
$3.50. according to the salable value
of their seats on local exchanges.
OF the 1000 commission brokers,
those who are. members of an ex-
change where produce or other wares
are traded in pay a yearly tax OF $50.
A 2-cent tax on shares traded in on
the stock exchange nets the Govern
ment several thousand dollars daily.
Unlisted corporations having a home
Office in the United States are sub
ject to the original issue tax of 5
cents a share on all stocks valued at
500 or fraction thereof.
The monthly sale of documentary
stamps averages s3.000,OO0, more
than half of which is in stamps OF

supply the demand a reserve supply
of stamps valued at 10000, 900 al.

LOW TAX RATE

Pershing County, the youngest in
Nevada, has also the distinction of
having the lowest tax rate in the
State-9O cents on the 800 valua-
ton. To realize how low this rate is,
compare it with that of an old estab-
lished county like Ormsby, with a
rate of $~2.6155. three times that of
Pershing. That a new county, with
many expenses that do not have to be
met by an old established county can
put in effect such a low rate is a mat
ter of not only considerable pride,
but is an asset of incalculable value
to a growing community.-Lovelock

BANKS TO FAVOR
LOANS ON CATTLE

To assist Western cattle growers
whose loans have been cut off by the
termination of the var finance cor
poration, the Federal Reserve Board
has instructed reserve and member
banks to favor loans on live stock,
Senator Kendrick, Democrat of Wy

members of the board. He added
that the board would be willing to
order r~ediscounts on cattle paper in
order to support Federal reserve
banks in cattle districts which might
require such action.
