DETECTIVE FAILS IN
ELK0 BOOZE CASE

The district court now in session
at Elko, trying several booze cases.
was brought to q sensational finish
just before noon yesterday after the
first witness for the state was being
examined, one T. ]. jackson, one of
the principal witnesses of the state
In both of the booze cases yet to
come before the court. that of Pete
CALI and William Rahas. and on mo-
tion of District Attorney Castle the
cases against these two defendants
were dismissed and the jurors were
told to go home.
The end came suddenly and unex-
pectedly. Jackson had been in the
employ OF the county for some time,
gathering Information as to where
liquor was sold and in company with
the other states witness, John Smith,
going from place to place buying and
drinking liquor whenever they could
get 1t, and through them the officers
obtained the information on which
the raids were made on the CALI and
Rahas places.
At the time OF their preliminary
hearing Jackson testified in the most
emphatic manner possible that CALI
was the man who sold him the liquor
and that he paid him for the drinks.
But on the stand yesterday his men,
ory was not working and he refused
to identity the defendant as the man
who sold him the booze.
AS Jackson and Smith were the
principal witnesses, and under the
law it requires two men to swear to
the fact that they bought and paid
for liquor, ones testimony without
the other was useless and the state
was unable to convict, consequently
District Attorney Castle moved that
the two cases be dismissed, which was
done.
/ A warrant was Immediately issued
by the court for the arrest of Jackson
on the charge of perjury and he was
placed in jail to wait the action Of
the court.
There still remains two more cases
to be tried, that of Gus Puccinelli.
and Joe Masquerena. both postponed
until next May on account of illness.

GRAZING FEES NOT
DUE TILL SEPTEMBER

The Elko forest office received
word from the district forester that
congress. with the approval Of the
forester and the secretary Of agri-
culture, recently enacted law to the
effect that payment of grazing fees
on the Humboldt and other. forests
for the season OF. 1921 may be defer
red without interest until as late a
date as September l, 1921, without en-
failing the grazing privileges.
The letters of transmittal, which
set forth the amount of the grazing
fees and the number OF stock for
which the respective applications are
approved for 1921, are being mailed
out so that permittees desiring to pay
up promptly may do SO.
The stockmen will also be relieved
of paying any interest on deferred
payments and no formal requests for
deferred payments are necessary from
permittees. In case, however, any
permittee should fail to pay up his
grazing fees by September /, his
grazing preference shall be revoked
and stock removed from the forests at
once and trespass proceedings ini-
tiated to recover damages done the
government for forage consumed.
The members of the forest service
are gratified to be able to extend such
good news to the stockmen OF Ne
vada and Idaho. holding grazing priv
ileges on the Humboldt forest. Here
tofore 1t has been the custom Of the
forest service to request the payment
of grazing in advance. They only
hope that every individual will be re-
sponsible for his letter of transmittal
and not lose the same in case pay
ment is deferred. They are also hope
full that no one will be delinquent and
necessitate trespass proceedings to be
initiated on the part of the forest Of
ficers.

PARTY Strict AMONG
GREEKS DISAPPEARS;
WAR IS RESPONSIBLE
CIV Associated Pressl

SMYRNA, Anatolia, Nov. 5.-One of
the developments of the war in Asia
Minor has been the almost complete
disappearance among the Greeks OF
party strife and factional animosities.
Allegiance TO Constantine or to Veni-
2elos has been subordinated TO the
greater interest of the country. Some
of the bitter differences that existed
i'm Athens between the followers of
King Constantine and Mr.. Venizelos
have disappeared.
Many of Mr. VeniZelos' adherents in
Athens. believing there is little likeli-
hood of a return to power of their
great leader. are becoming reconciled
10 Constantine and his royalist govern
ment, and apparently are disposed to
give them the fullest opportunity of
reconstruction and expanding the
country
But as long as Allied support and
friendship are withheld, these men,
bers of the Liberty Party view with
some apprehension the future progress
Of the nation. Up to the present all
tho allied governments, including the
United States, have withheld financial
credits from Greece, and the govern
ment thus far has been unable to Sc
cure loan from private bankers.
The occupation and administration
Of the enormous area in Asia Minor
now occupied by the Greek army will
involve an expenditure of hundreds of
millions of francs monthly Where
this money is coming from is the
greatest concern of all parties
As long as the Allies withhold sup
port from Greece, the Venizelsts will
regard it as punishment of King Con-
stantine, and this will form one of the
barriers TO the establishment of
harmony between the two political
PARTIES and TO the creation of real
national unity among the people
