to in the complaint filed by the sheriff i
against Lynch.
Rose's Hot Shots.
; A few of the hot shots delivered
by Rose are appended, minus unnec
essary verbiage:
p "Who would dispute the integrity
of Pete Loch? They tried to bribe
i'"si'eriff Clark, the wild Irishman.
Big Mike." , .
; "Tylee, the bath-house octective. ()
' "Plumbing is an honorable estate.
: "It was a frame-up." '
: "Domination of Tom Dennisou is
at an end." . -
"Tony Hoffman, representative of
the gang in the city hall."
"You know what it is nonr to gang
a man." , .
"Lynch's private life is not m ques
tion: only his official acts."
"Liar" is Popular.
"The evidence of Lynch's demorali
ration rests upon the statements of a
'""Riverside, the bleeding mouth of
tell." , . . .
"Johnny Lynch is not a member of
the underworld. He may have had
an occasional lapse and so have many
great men, even a president of the
United States at one time." .
, Mr. R.se applied the epithet of
"liar" to most of the witnesses for the
other side, mentioning them by name.
One was the "biggest liar on top of
the earth." Another was a "liar and
perjurer" and another a "liar and
crook." According to his version,
nearly every witness for the prosecu
tion lied. . ,
, Hallack Rose made the opening ar
gument for the defense. He said:
"I am about to deliver into your
bands the fate of my friend, John C
Lynch. He gives a good account 1
tfis past life. At the age of 16 he
entered the honorable trade of jour
neyman plumber. He is now round
ing out his ninth year of public serv
ice. He has brought no shame to
that good pious mother whose great
est pastion today is her pride in her
Johnny. ,
"To return a verdict against Lynch
would mean to close every prospect
ctf employment; destroy his marriage
prospects. Ia this issue John Lynch
facts alternatives of life and dea.tn.
' Reveals Organization.
? "Attorney Howell has asked-what
t am here for. Looking back over
the fire and putrefaction of thia trial.
I am sure none wouia recau il inn
trial has revealed to us an organiied
underworld with Tom Dennison. This
underworld has entrapped the un
wary in its inextricable meshes. This
trial has riven us a new sense of
duty as citizens and a new responsi
bjlity and I believe it has written the
doom 01 loin jjciiuisuu a uuiunniivii,
and I want to srive Attorney Howell
credit for his part in turning the trial
to that end.
; "1 am here to maintain the rights
oi the voters of this county to main
tain in office this man they desire to

j Says "Prosecution."
3 "It is a significant fact that this is a
prosecution of privately employed
counsel rather than by the public
prosecution. The state has not come
into this case in any sovereign capac
ity, but this trial represents the nar
row jealousy of an official who wants
to regulate the affairs of another ot
fecial.
";If it were true that Lynch tried to
bribe Mike Clark, why didn't the sher
. iff, as a good citizen, report the mat
ter to the grand jury or to the county
attornev?1
-Rose referred to Sheriff Clark as
"extra officious, meddlesome and bull
headed." He added that Clark tried
, to usurp the authority of the county
board in such nutters as an elevator.
Cannot Blame Clark.
"We can hardly blame Clark," he
continued, "if he tried to boss the
court houre. He was the new bum
ble bee on the job and Lynch had
been in the court house for years.
Lynch asserted his rightful author
itv"
Taking ut the jail-feeding bilh
Rose reminded the jury that county
clerk testified that these bills were
held upon account of lack of funds
at the time complained of. He said
Lynch was desirous of having the
jaii-ieeaing amoiguou iiuic iuki
preted by the state supreme court.
Says Statement False.
"Ii there any nroof to sustain the
chant that Lynch, tried to coerce
Clark into permitting Lakeside to re
main openr Rose continued. "It is
false to state that Lynch had any
thing to do with the four damage
suits against Clark, in connection with
with raid of Lakeside. Tylee, the
bathhouse detective, tried to show
that Lynch - had him call Attorney
Krugcr in tho&e cases.
"Nothing has been shown to sub
stantiate charge that Lynch, at an
auto show in 1917, offered Clark in
ducements to leave Lakeside alone.
That charge was boldly made for pub
lic consumption. I would not want
to be in Clark's shoes.
.-'"Lynch's defense is: Are you satis
fied with Clark's personal complaints
and grievances?"
This "Wild Irishman."
t "Howell weeDS over this wild Irish
man we have elected as sheriff and
asks if you will stick the knife, into
him.
r "Howell told you tkt if Clark .is
not sustained, you should never raise
your voice again against a public of
ficer who is derelict. That is a mere
platitude."
- - I Rose Warms Up.
$ "We will not turn to the charge
; that Lynch has defiled this sacred
temple of justice. It is charged that
Lynch, as chairman of the court
house committee, corruptly took pos
session ot tire nortneast Basement
otn tor nia firrsonai use ana
mx exclusion oi oiucr county omj
rials and employes; that he equipped
and maintained this room as training
quarters for wrestlers; that for a
corrupt and wicked purpose he did
those things. The charge does not
specify any particular course of
private immorality.
"I don't condone any transgression
Lynch may have had. if he had any,
in the laws of morality, and we are
not going to set up any standard of
morality that you would not approve
of or would not admit to your own
homes. This complaint does not con
cern any private acts of John Lynch,
as such, no matter how vicious they
may have been. We must in this
case consider his public official acts
as contradistinguished from his
private life and conduct. It is an out
rage on the law to seek to betray any
act of private delinquency.
Says "Framed Up."
Many unwholesome things have
een presented in this case and for the
most part I will contend that they
were framed up. ,
The law noes not contemplate pun-
shmcnt of a public official for mere
rrors and we might have to admit
that Lynch made errors. I don't think
he woutd again do what he did for
Calabria. A mere incidental occu
pancy of a room in a public building
s not enough to disgrace a man. Uur-
g my early days as a lawyer I slept
for two and one-half years in a room
of the state and used the heat and
light of the state and after all of these
years I do not think fthat that incident
of my early career was an official dis
grace. It all depends on custom and
perogatives allowed to officials.
Not Corrupt Act.
The shower bath was in that north
east room as an incident to Calabrias
employment and was not a corrupt act
on tne pan oi uyncn. no iu wan
could say anything but that there was
frameuD to show that Lyncn used
that room far personal gain. When
ever they got into a bad ctress in this
ase they called upon uus lyiee to

showed an accommodating disposi-
ion.
"You know what it is now to gang a
man! It took a little, courage for John
Lynch to face these hosts of foes.
We have no evidence to snow mat
Mrs. Fox was a member of the un
derworld, and yet her name was
dragged in. By insinuation they tried
to make us believe tnai Florence
Tucker was a member of the under
world. Says No Cause.
There is nothing in the whole sit
uation that calls for the removal of
ohn Lynch.
"The only double-crossing that
Lvnch did was he stood f'.r law en-
forcement and order. Every crook
is afraid of prosecution. Our good
sheriff, I think, is the tool in this
case. He is in an awful mess.
The nuroose of this proceeding is
to strike down official integrity and
independence.
"I think one of the effects f this
investigation will be to keep Lynch
out of nublic office for a while. He
is sensitive, xou can send mm oui
in disgrace for standing for public
righteousness if you will, or you can
v his snlendid energies for a life
of official usefulness and integrity."
Dunnir the entire day the court
room has been packed to the walls
with friends of the contesting parties
and interested listeners. Many ot
these remained in their seats after
the jury retired, expecting an early
verdict to be returned.
Baker's Closing Argument.
Attorney Baker's closing argument
for the prosecution:
"It is true that this is not a public
prosecution in the sense that the pub
lic prosecutor ts not nere, tor tne rea
son that it is s kind of a case that
could only be brought by a taxpayer.
Mr. Clark brought that action as a
taxpayer rather than as sheriff.
"Mr. Rose referred to his friend,
John C. Lynch, and 1 believe that
friendship dates back to the time of
employment ot Rose as counsel
Ides of "Gym."
"Here is an official who has cus
tody of millions belonging to tax
payers of this community. He was
the first to conceive the idea ot a
gymnasium. The first thought was
to have a shower bath, and, then con
ceived the idea that the gyni was
built (or the employes of the building,
but in the face of an avalanche of evi
dence they then said it was a private
bath for Joe Calabria, who had a bath
at home. Nobody could tell trom
records whether the county paid for
the bath. Alter the batn was there
(or more than s year Calabria said he
took six or eight or ten baths.
"Ail the paraphernalia (or a gym
followed the bath. ail conceived by
the same mind.
Slept in "Gyro."
"If, as Rose said, Rooney is so un
desirable, nobody knew that better
than John C Lynch, who slept with
Rooney in that gym.
"Another marvelous thing about the
gym is that they took it out in the
dead hour of the night and just be
fore the grand jury met. They said
the stuff was stored in the gym be
cause Pete Loch wanted it there, I
don't think we want training quarters
for Pete Loch in the court house.
Gark Blunt Man.
"Mike Clark, who received $110 a
month and raised a family, didn't have
three automobiles like our friend,
Lynch. When Lynch came into of
fice he didn't have a wheelbarrow.
Clark came into office a blunt man.
He has a heart that is right. Let us
see what Lynch undertook to do
when he sought to capture the sher
iff by offering to take him on trips
at expense of the county. Sturdy,
honest Mike said, 'Nothing doing.'
Pretending to be Mike's friend. Lynch
said, 'Mike, what are you going to do
about these road houses? and Clark
said he would close them all; not a
compromise, not a waver.
Athletes Were There.
xou have evidence of many wit
nesses regarding the gym. Why
were Farmer Burns, Peters and others
there if it was not a gymnasium?
"Were liquors carried to gym? Joe
Glenn told you so. Did Pete Loch
overlook an Opportunity to sell liquors
at night? It was natural for the
court house employes' to testify they
saw no evidence of liquors in the
gym.
"William Taylor, the colored man,
testified that he was sent by Lynch
to buy some candy for women. Do
you think that candy was for the
women who had the lunch room in the
court house?

Salmon packers may not sell
any of the stocks they now have
on hand, pending decision by
the government as to how much
will be needed for government
use, according to an order re
ceived today by local packers
from the federal food adminis
tration. About a year ago the packers
were notified to set aside a cer
tain percentage of their stock

This gradually has been taken
up. Today's order is thought
to indicate that the government

for extortion; fifth, for corruption;
sixth, for willful maladministration in
office; seventh, for conviction of a

"Neither hapitual drunkenness nor
conviction for a felony is proved and
you will not concern yourselves with
those particular causes for action."
The judge instructed the jury that
the statutes limited theic considera
tion strictly to matters involving of
ficial acts of the accused n the con
duct of his office and does not involve
the private or personal conduct of
John C. Lynch as such,
Must Know Intent.
' "To justify a finding of defendant's
guilt of official misdemeanor it must
be clearly shown that his official
acts were prompted by some evil in
tent or legal malice or at least that
he was without sufficient legal
grounds to believe he was property
performing his duties.
"Actions for removal of county offi
cers from office are highly penal in
their nature and evidence of guilt
must be clear and satisfactory.
"You are instructed that if you
find by clear and satisfactory pre
pondcrence of evidence the accused
did offer his services to Hans Voss
to procure the consent of the board
of commissioners for a retail liquor
dealer's license for Voss. and Lynch
proposed to Voss that he, the said
Lynch, was to hav and receive one
third of the profits from said liquor
business in consideration of services
to be rendered by Lynch in his offi
cial capacity, such offers and pro
posals would conititute official cor
ruption and willful maladministra

guilty as charged.
Refers to Road Houses.
"You are instructed that if you
find that Lynch associated himself
with Tom Dennison, Billy Nessel

pose of procuring and operating a
retail liquor business at Riverside,
and aided in procuring the conduct
and operation of the business with
out a license during a portion of 1914
and until the first of May, 1915, and
that he was to receive profits out
of said business to cover his promise
of protection, that would constitute
official corruption and willful malad
ministration in office arid you should
find him, guilty.
"You are further instructed that if
you find Lynch knew said retail busi
ness was to be run by him and his
said associates after the exciration of
said license and advised hia said as
sociates not to procure a ticense and
not to pay to the county of Douglas
the license fee of $500. and that he
would protect the business and the
proprietors thereof from being ar
rested for violation of law. that would
constitute official corruption and will
ful maladministration in office and
you should find him guilty.
Anent "Johnny" Leonard.
"You are instructed that if you find
Lynch caused one Leonar I to apply
for a license to sell intoxicating liquors-
at Scheschey's or Lakeside Inn
and that the purpose of obtaining said
license was to permit the operation
of a business for the sale of intoxi
cating liquors and a gambling house
by Lynch, John Ford and Pete Loch,
under the name of Leonard, and that
Ford was to be made manager of the
flace as a representative of Lynch,

was granted through the influence
and assistance of Lynch, in consider
ation of which Lynch was to receive
one-third of the profits arising from
the operation of said business, and
that no effort was made to revoke

Oppressing Accuser.
"You are instructed that if you

(By .Mociatd TrfM.)
In a brilliant attack in Lorraine,
French troops have gone through the
German first line on a lengthy front
and captured more than 400 prisoners.
This attack, the first of large pro
portions on the western front in 1918,
was carried out north of Bures and
east of Moncel, virtually on the
Franco-German border south of
Chateau Salins.

Yankees Check German Raid.
American troops in their sector
northwest of Tout have checked an
other German raid, the enemy being
driven back by artillery fire. German
airmen are reported to cor.trol the
air over the American sector and
Wednesday eneniy aviators flew over
the entire position repeatealy.
Although apparently outnumbered,
the American airmen are active and
one has attacked an enemy trench
with machine gun fire.
Entente airmen continue to be busy
in air fighting and bombing expedi

brought down 20 German machines
and British airmen have carried out
raids into Germany.
Airmen Are Busy.
On the Italian front Italian and
British airmen have bombed enemy
airdromes and other targets,
been concentrating artillery of vari
ous calibers opposite the American
positions. They now have twice the
number of guns as when the Ameri
cans first took the sector and between

For several days the Germans have
800 and 1,000 shells are being fired
at the American positions when at
first there was hardly 150.
American artillerymen continue
their practice of sending the enemy
at least two or three shells for one.
Enemy artillery during the last 24
hours paid particular attention to bat
tery positions, firing hundreds of
shells on them.
Three soldiers wounded were the
only casualties from the shell fire.
American shells have been dropped
on enemy works and have cut the en
emy wire to pieces in many places.
On the British front in France
there has been no increase in the
raiding and artillery activity.

. Soft Corn Will Rot.
''Furthermore, this year we have the
largest percentage of soft corn in
many years and though we have a
record crop of corn, a considerable
portion of the soft corn will be lost
by spoiling unless it can be moved in
the next 60 days to the drying ter
minals. The least amount of grain
that must be loaded for the next GO
days is 8,000,000 bushels per day
and we have not yet attained that.
Less than this will solve neither the I
allied nor our domestic situation. j
"We had about 130,000 car loads of
potatoes on November 1, which should
have been moved from the principal )

Potatoes All Spoiling. j
The result is that potatoes are
piled up spoiling in the producers
hands and the consuming centers have
only been supplied by virtue of the
summer gardens and other stores car
ried over from last year. There is
a great deal of live stock which has
been ready for the market for some
time, but .is still held in the farm
ers' hands through inability to obtain
transportation. These cattle are eat

their meat value and are only adding
to the costs of the farmer and con

"SecondThe stricture in flow of;
distribution has entirely disturbed the ;
price conditions in the country by j
practically suspending the law of sup-:

the farmer and consumer in many
commodities were never wider than
they are today because the consuming
trades are uudet supplied and the
farmers compete for transportation.
Prices of the coarse grains have
reached unheard of levels, while the
limited transportation has diminished
the farmers' returns.
"Third The cost of grains for

they face serious Josss. The costs of

Headache and the
Way to Stop it
When there is neck strain,
causing disorder of the joints
of the spine in the neck, head
ache is a natural result
When there is disturbance
of the correct mechanical
joining of one spinal bone
with another, the nerve exit
between the spinal joint is
closed or partially dosed, and
nerve pressure, causing pain
and weakness in the parts
served by the nerve, follows.
Sufferers from headache
get immediate relief from
spinal adjustments, and where
such headaches have become
chronic a series of adjust
ments, resulting in correction
of the spinal condition in the

lief in many cases.

in the movement of foodstuffs in
every direction to the exclusion of
much other commerce ot the coun
try. "Considerable progress has been
made in the last ten days, but contin
ued rises in the price of cereal com
modities and the failure to obtain suf
ficient supplies over immediate domes
tic consumption to feed the al'ies, are
evidences that there is still a de
ficiency in food cars and that they
need be still further increased.
Public Must Co-Operate.
"Comparisons of the movement from
day to day during the last few days
with movements of similar periods
last year reflect the efforts being made
by the railway diirectorate. We have,
however, a long accumulation to be
got over within the next 60 days. The
situation calls for every co-operatioi
of the public through the quick load
ing of cars, loading them to capacity,
and discharging them quickly and in
every way reducing the tax on the
railways. Co-operation can be given
by reduction in consumption oi food
stuffs, by the consumption of home
and local stores to the exclusion so far
as may be of transported articles.
Farms Full of Food.
"If every interest co-operates we
shall supply the allies and remedy
the distribution of our abundant do
mestic supplies, for our farms are
full of foodstuffs.
"No effort is being spared to move
allied food as fast as it can be accu
mulated in the interior, and today's
railway directorate is arranging spe
cial trains to carry meat and packing
