IN MEMORY OF HATE
-x
T. M. Zink of Leman* Iowa, ir
his last will and les;ament, left
an estate valued at between 4C
and 80,000 dollars intrust lor a
priod of seventy-five years. The
accumulated fortune according
to the donor’s estimate will be
about 558,000,000 which is to be
used for the erection and en
dowment of a library The words
“No Woman Admitted," must be
cut in stone over the main en
trances of the library: only
books bv men will be a1 towed on
the shelves; magazines will be
censured to eliminate articles by
women. Nothing in the design,
decoration or appointments of
the library must suggest femi
nine influence. Zink’s will says
his hatred for women came from
his study of philosophy, history
nd science and from his own
experience.
Deletion of every reference to'
women from magazines will not
cave much to any magazine for
.ven advertising little doodads
nr women takes a large part in
illing magazine space.

LYLE-WHITNEY ACQUITTED
IN LIQUOR TRIALS
The famous case in Seattle
against former prohibition of
ficers Lyle and Whitney and
others turned out to be a dud in
so-far as the government was
concerned.
The jury in the case went into
session at 5:37 o’clock on Friday
afternoon of last week and re
turned their verdict of “not
guilty” shortly after midnight.
The case was one of the long
est in the history of the courts
of Washington; six weeks being
required to hear more than two
hundred witnesses from digni
taries of the church to the penal
colony of McNiel’s Island. The
testimony i offered filling more
than 3,000 pages.
Judge Frank Norcross, sitting j
in the case instructed the jury
to disregard “any evidence that
the defendants were too zealous I
in the performance of their dut
ies and to give the defendants
the benefit of a doubt in con
ridering their efforts to estab
lish alibis in connection with
[lie offenses charged. Testimony
iffered by many of the govern
ment witnesses may be viewed
ivith suspicion.”
Along with Roy Lyle, and Wil
iam Whitney the jury acquitted
Richard L. Fryant and Earl Cor
win. Clifford T. McKinney, the
ifth defendant named in the in
iictments returned by the grand
:ury, was freed after the govern
ment had completed its first
latch of testimony.
The chief prosecution witness
,vas Alfred M. Hubbard, former
irohibition agent and former
member of Roy Olmsted’s liquor
*ing who told of alleged protec
tion payments which he handled
'or the bootleggers to ease en
forcement officers.
VINDICATED
After listening to all the testi
nony for six weeks in the Lyle
Whitney conspiracy case twelve
iurc-rs acquitted the defendants
Df the charges. Again walk the
streets of Seattle these men with
heir names cleared of the styg
na of betrayal of their offices
md oaths of office, removed.
The prosecution based its case
m the testimony of a snooping,
mitching, rat of a stoolpigeon.
Reading the evidence of this
Little shadow of a snake, no jury
•ould find any other verdict than
;vas arrived at.
Men who know Whitney, per
sonally have had their belief in
rtis innocence confirmed. Their
Faith in the character and integ
rity of the defendants was not
nisplaced.
-x
PROHIBITION POLITICS
Ends the case against Lyle and
Whitney, prohibition adminis
trator and his legal advisor. But
the political effects go on. The
alleged use of bribe money for
political campaigns will roll on
to the hurt of some perhaps to
the end. It is certain that in
political campaigns these stories
will be whispered from more
than one corner of the state of
Washington.
And perhaps that is what v as
intended in the first place. Else
why bring in former prosecuting
attorney Revelle and Senator
Leslie Jones? And who was
back of the efforts at prosecu
tion of the acquitted defendants?

but they had the satisfaction of
saying that they went up in the

FORD MAKES PREDICTION
On the eve of his departure
to Germany last week to attend
the Passion Play at Oberam
mergau, Henry Ford gave his
views to the press in a resume of
lour major points.
First he intends to manufac
ture automobiles abroad hence
forth instead of shipping or as
sembling them.
Second, he will pay the Ameri
can scale of wages despite the
Fact that French mechanics on
ly earn $1.12 per day.
Third, he believes industry
in the United States will event
ually operate but nine months
of the year with the employees
engaged in agricultural work
the other three months.
Fourth, he is convinced the
entire world will adopt prohibi
tion before long.
Mr. Ford endorsed the new
tariff, asserting: “It forces for
eign nations to increase their
tariffs with the result that we
must construct abroad.
We will pay commensurate
wages practically the same as in
America and help toward rais
ing the standard abroad, said
Mr. Ford.
When asked whether Ameri
can industrial production had
reached the saturation point he
replied in the affirmative and
indicated that the factories soon
must operate nine months ''f
the year.
“How about the employees the
other three months?”
“They can work at agricul
ture,” he replied. “There is no
reason why the same firms can
not operate factories and then
transfer the men (o work on the
land the other three months of j
the year.”

WOLF TRAPPING DESCRIBED
--x
I
Wolves and coyotes, still a
source of worry and serious loss;
to stockmen, and sportsmen of
the West because of the destruc
tiveness to livestock and game
animals, are uncanny in their
ability to avoid man’s efforts
to keep them under control. To
capture these animals man
must match with strategy their
cleverness in avoiding capture.
Trapping has been found by ex
perts of the Bureau of Biological
Survey, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, to be one of the
most effective methods.
The areas most heavily in
fested with wolves are in Alas
ka, eastern Texas, Oklahoma,
Arkansas, ‘Missouri, Wisconsin
Minnesota and Michigan. Co
yotes also exist in all the West
ern States. “The coyote,” ac
cording to the Biological Survey,
“is by far the most persistent of
the predators of the western ■
range country, and is a carrier j
of rabies, or hydrophobia, and '
turalemia, a disease of wild rab
bits and other rodents that is
transmissible and sometimes fa-1!
tal to human beings.
“Much of the country inhab
ited by coyotes and wolves is
purely agricultural and contains
vast grazing areas, and a large
part of the food of the animals
in those areas consists of mut
ton, beef, pork, and poultry pro
duced by the stockmen and the
farmer, and of the wild game
that should be conserved. It is f
a matter of great importance,
therefore, to the Nation’s live
rtock-producing sections, as
well as to the conservationist’s
plan of game protection or game
propagation, that coyotes and
wolves be controlled in areas
where they are destructive.”
The department tells how best
to take advantage of some of the
habits of the animals in order to
overcome their natural caution
°nd their developed and open
defense against danger, and so
as to lure them to the traps. It
fiives detailed information on
how and where to set the traps
and how to prepare scents to be
placed as lures on weeds, clusters
of grass or stubble near the
traps and along the animals’
travelways.
