ATTORNEY VAN FLEET
INDICTED AT ELKO
Elko, Nevada, Nov. 30.—Three in
dictments, two charging subornation
of perjury and one charging perjury,
were returned against Carey Van
Fleet, prominent Elko attorney, by
the Elko grand jury. This developed
yesterday when Van Fleet returned
from Salt Lake City and was placed
under arrest shortly after he got off
the train.
On the two subornation charges of
perjury, Van Fleet appeared before
District Judge Taber, who fixed his
bail at $1000 in each case. Bail was
furnished by John Henderson and
Robert W. Hesson.
The two subornation of perjury
charges are the result of the trial of
Henry J. Jones and J. G. Gregory
for malfeasance in office while mem
bers of the Board of County Com
missioners. The two men were re
moved from office by District Judge
Walsh of Esmeralda County, sitting
for Judge Taber. It is charged Van
Fleet “did wilfully and feloniously
suborn Henry J. Jones and J. G.
Gregory to wilfully, falsely and cor
ruptly swear to an answer to an
amended complaint.”
The complaints against Jones and
Gregory are set out in full in the in
dictments.
The complaint charging perjury is
in connection with the contempt
charge against E. M. Steniger, grow
ing out of the publication of the re
port of the grand jury on the Jones
and Gregory cases. The complaint
charges Van Fleet with swearing
that Steniger admitted to him that
he had seen a copy of the grand jury
report before it was filed, “whereas,
in truth and in fact the said E. M.
Steniger did not admit that he saw a
partial report of the grand jury be
fore the same was filed.”
Van Fleet is one of the most prom
inent attorneys in the State. He is
a son of William Van Fleet, judge of
the United States district court at
San Francisco.
“My indictment is the outcome of
the defense I made for the County
Commissioners in the removal case,”
said Attorney Van Fleet this morn
ing. “Two of the indictments are
based upon technicality and pleadings
One indictment is based on a proceed
ing I brought against Editor Steni
ger to ascertain whether he had re
vealed secrets of the grand jury
room, it being brought to our atten
tion that the reports of the grand ju ry
were seen by him before they were
filed.
“The whole thing is a result of the
bitterness arising out of the commis
sioners’ case. There is no doubt of a
favorable result, so far as I am con
cerned, and I do not fear the out
come. The witnesses before the grand
jury on my indictment are Judge
Talbot and Deputy Attorney-General
Patrick and what they alleged against
me as to pleadings will be found, I
have no doubt, in their own plead
ings. I have never made any false
affidavits, nor have 1 ever asked any
of my clients to make any.”
Sugar Restrictions Rescinded
Effective at once and until further
notice, the certificate plan, as well as
all restrictions on household purchase
and consumption of sugar have been
suspended, according to an official
communication received from the U ni
ted States food administration for Ne
vada. Grocers may sell any reasonable
quanity of sugar to families, restau
rants, bakers and others without re
quiring certificates or other evidence
of sale.
This modification of rules is made
possible by congestion at refineries,
surplus from American sugar saving
during the last six months, and the
availability of new Cuban and Java
sugars.
No rules of the United States food
administration regarding hoarding or
governing licenses are affected by this
order, and remain in full force and
effect. _
With portentous clouds hovering
about them in Holland the former
kaiser and his effeminate offspring
might well join in the refrain,“Where
Do We Go From Here?”
BONO OWNERS ORBED TO 1
HAVE CUPONS RE6ISTERE0
Washington, Nov. 26.—To insure
against loss or theft of liberty bonds,
owners are being urged by the treas
ury to have their coupon bonds regis
tered although the procedure results
in agreat amount of work and expense
for the Government now that the
number of bond owners runs above
30,000,000. The registration can be
arranged at most banks, and is done
without cost to the owner. After
registration, if a bond is accidentally
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Govern
ment will pay it at maturity just the
same and interest checks will be
mailed to the bond owner twice a
year without requiring him to go to
the trouble of clipping coupons and
presenting them at a bank.
“The fact that bonds of the first
liberty loan or bonds of the second
liberty loan are converted into bonds
bearing higher rate of interest does
not affect the dates on which interest
is payable,” explains a treasury an
nouncement.
Interest is paid on bonds of the
first loan, regardless of whether they
have been converted, on June 15, and
December 15; on bonds of the second
loan, May 15 and November 15; third
loan, March 15 and September 15;
fourth loan, April 15 and October
15. _
Nevada State News
There are only two breweries in Ne
vada affected by the war-time prohi
bition law which became operative
December 1. They are the Reno
Brewing Company plant located in
Reno and the Capital brewery at
Carson.
The Imlay correspondent of the
Lovelock Review-Miner says. “Re
port says that J. R. Tubs, Assembly
man elect, is not to be discharged for
‘running for office’ as reported in
one of the local papers. He received
word to report for work as master
of the night yard.
The indictment against F. H. Van
Volkenburg, who was arrested in
California and taken back to Elko,
is for grand larceny. His bail was
fixed at $1500, which was furnished
by hisfather-in.-law, William Hunter.
VanVolkenburg is acused of stealing
a set of wrenches, fireman’s uniform,
etc., of the value of more than $50.
He was formerly connected with the
Elko fire department.
James Russell, one of Nevada’s
earliest and most widely known pio
neers, died at his home at Elko Nov.
28 following an illness of a month.
The death of Mr. Russell Recalls to
the minds of Nevada pioneers and
old-time residents of Elko County
the early days of this State, when
Mr. Russell operated on the Com
stock and later at the mining booms
in Austin, Eureka, Mineral Hill and
White Pine County. He settled in
Elko in 1876, engaging in the live
stock business, and retired from ac
tive life ten years ago.
John Dewar, State Senator-elect
from Storey County, died at Virginia
City Wednesday of last week of in
fluenza. Senator Dewar had been a
prominent resident of Virginia City
for a great many years. He repre
sented Storey County in the Assemb
ly in 1915, and had taken an active
interest in Republican politics for
some time. In the last election he
defeated former Senator Kinney.
The death of Mr. Dewar will neces
sitate a special election to be called
by the Governor.
The Nye County Council of Defense
has notified the Federal Industrial
Commission that 100 men can be giv
en employment immediately in local
mines. There is not a property in
the camp that has not suffered from
a shortage of labor so that when the
influenza struck there the mines sus
tained a solar plexus which was
quickly reflected in. their reduced
tonnage. It is the belief that many
skilled men from various canton
ments will drift back as soon as they
receive their discharges and in this
way the supply of skilled labor will
be replenished while ordinary labor
will be renewed by the men diverted
in response td the information sent
out.
EAT SUBSTITUTES
UNTIL CHRISTMAS
To the end that stocks of victory
and other substitute flours may be
utilized without waste, the Federal
food administration for Nevada has
requested all housewives, bakers and
restaurants to continne the purchase
and use of substitutes to be used at
their convenience and any quantities
they desire. Such use is not manda
tory, but is necessary in view of the
utter criminalty of food waste under
present conditions of world shortage.
"Stark famine is blighting half the
world,” runs the food administration
statements, “and no loyal citizen of
Nevada is willing for the small stocks
of substitute in the hands of our
grocers to spoil and be wasted. In
sofar as this waste occurs, just so
far are we guilty of withholding
foodstuffs from starving millions.
And exactly as we meet our present
pressing obligations to save and send
food, just so will we be judged by
future generations as having done
our duty to humanity. True, some
of these other flours cost slightly
more than wheat, but the quantities
are so small, and the time during
which it will be necessary for us to
use them so short, that the differ
ence is not appreciable. Let us meet
this small demand as we have met
all others.”
