Prosecution Drops Charge Against Former Insurance Agent
FRAUD INTENT NOT PROVEN
W. F. Nangan, Counsel for Defense, Bitterly Attacks District Manager for Metropolitan Co. Judge Roche Approves Nolle.

Entirely exoneratei. John j. Noonan, aged 30 years, of IT Carl son street, had charges of embezzle- ment and falsifying accounts nolled in police court this morning by Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods. who told Judge Henry P. Roche he was convinced that the element of intent to defraud which is necessary to prove the charge uu- der the statute was entirely lack ing. Of the numerous cases Of en- bezzlement he has tried in police court, this was the most unusual, Mr. Woods said. Noonan handled some 1900 accounts in the few years he was employed as an insurance agent. and it appeared to the prose- outing attorney that he lacked the intelligence necessary for the prop CT handling Of the books. H. ad- viscd Noonan to engage in some other occupation.
 Early in the investigation, some employees of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. were probably a lit tie over-Zealous in presenting the facts, MT. Woods said, but they were undoubtedly prompted by the motive of loyalty to the company interests. Taking all the circum- stances into consideration, Mir Woods. after quoting the leading cases in point, recommended the nOlle.
 Element of Intent Lacking
 Judge Roche, accepting the rec ommondation, said he felt that the prosecuting attorney was entirely justified in disposing Of the case in this manner. as the finding of the defendants innocence is entirely consistent with the testimony of the state and the defense. It was ap- parent throughout the hearing i Judge Roche said. that there was dispute over Noonan's accounts, but the statute requires q finding Of the clement of intent to defraud, anG this was entirely lacking in thit case.
 One very important factor in the case, Judge Roche said. was the ele rnent of promptness with Whlcf Noonan offered to make restitution if it was proven that he owed none! to the company. Immediately ol being informed that a discrepanc, existed in his accounts, he toof steps 10 straighten out the condi ton. fact which tended to proV'

JUST A FEW WORDS OF
 EXPLANATION

We wish to thank the Publisher of the Nome Nugget for this opportunity of explaining to the public reasons for absorbing the different bus firms. which have become part and parcel Of establishment
 OUR FIRST REASON Is-To ELIMINATE WASTES
 AND AVOID SHORTAGES
 With many dealers in our community. and knowing what quantities the others are ship ping. from time to time. and especially for their supplies. it has frequently happened that town has been overstocked perishable goods i'll the Fall, merchants have been compelled take heavy losses account of flooded market Spring This condition lot of waste; but in such years of plenty the public does not suffer However: all know: fat always followed by lean The merchant having suffered by oyerstocking year. reduces his shipments the next. and when most stores take the same precaution the time. it results in eral shortage which is not pleasant situation
 sECOND-ECONOMY IN OPERATION
 By concentrating all this business under one head, the overhead will be reduced to such an extent that should be able not only to give people a better service but it should be possible even to reduce the prices some commodities.
 THRD-BUYING POWER
 By buying in large quantities going to make big saving to our customers. The advan tage of buying in carload lots is recognized by all merchants as one of the fundamental principles of good and efficient merchandising. Hence the prov erb: We'll bought is half sold With the support of the entire community, will be able to buy to the best advantages and thereby make saving you
 FoURTH-YOUR GUARANTEE
 We have been established in Nome since June 1900 Our business has enjoyed a steady growth for over twenty years. and has become. even before this consolidation. the largest individual cantile establishment Seward Peninsula. There surely Is a reason for this And. this should be sufficient guarantee to make worthy of your confidence.
 Quality has always been first consideration. Quality with prices low is consistent with good and economical merchandising is what has built our business to it's present standard integrity and worth and you that this policy will always be maintained We anxious to prove that We right, and only ask for opportunity to do

check for ten dollars in the hope that
he might use it for some poor boy or
girl. Mrs. Horton, after listening to
the remarks of Mrs. Berry, told Mr..
Taylor that she thought he need not
take the check further but might do
nate it to the fund for the Dependent
Home.

lished, is now carried out each year
during the holiday season.
Mrs. Ella G. Berry, who served as
president of Cornell Club for two con-
secutive years, mentioned two very
prominent outstanding features Of her
administration, that of entertaining the
State Federation Of Colored Women's
Clubs in 1917 and being the originator
of the idea of establishing a Home for
the dependent boy and girl. She was
inspired with this idea after attending
a meeting of welfare workers at which
each person attending was asked to
write her impression of the meeting,
Mrs. Berry was impressed with the
fact that ample provisions were made
for the dependent white boy and girl
but none for the dependent Negro boy
and girl and she asked the question
why. She was told in reply that the
Negro must do something himself for
his own and thus was implanted in her
breast the desire to help her own.
From time to time she kept the idea
fresh in the minds Of the members of
the club and during Mrs. Cunning
hams term of Office, the first money
was taken from the general treasury
and placed in a special fund looking
toward this end. Each member of
the club was asked to donate FIVE dol
lars toward this fund, also to solicit
other aid.
Mr.. Julius F. Taylor, editor Of The
Broad AK, was present and was in
troduced, making an excellent address,
saying in part that for many years he
had been in touch with the Cornell
Charity Club, giving it wide publicity
the columns Of The Broad
AK, and that the Cornell Charity Club
represented the embodiment of ladies
who cannot be excelled in the broad
confines Of the city. He predicted that

about the suppression of thinking, the
censorship of books or of art. The
only time recently that any large num-
Der of US has protested against re-
striction of any sort was when pro-
hibition came. And then we only
kicked because this act raised the price
of whiskey and beer. Our continual
complaint is that the rich can get all
the liquor they want, but it is denied
to the poor man.
Mr.. Average American simply can't
get any interest in-what seems to
him-purely theoretical types of free
dom. The plays that he understands
and attends are never suppressed. The
books that are on his level are gather
ing dust by the thousands on every
library shelf. All the art that he knows
anything about is unsurpassed in the
comic strips every day and in the adj
vertising of the business firms.
AS to political ideas, he has none ex-
cept those of his ward boss. He has
heard vague rumors Of the existence
once, of Karl Marx but he has never
read a word of Capital" To him
most Of the articulate liberals and the
directors of the American Civil Lib
critics Union are but sore heads who
want political jobs and can't get them.
He can't think for himself and
doesn't want to. He doesn't want any
liberals and radicals doing any new
for him; for if he understands
this new thinking he will have to do
some thinking himself. And accord
ing to his credo this is not SO interest
ing as going to the movies, to church,
to lodge or as interesting as con-
6dential chat with his favorite boot
logger.
