THE DAILY STAR-MIRROR VOLUME 1. MOSCOW, LATAH COUNTY, IDAHO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1911 NUMBER 60 MAIL FRAUD CHARGE MAY BE ATTACK BASE—GOMPERS ACCUSED LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7.— Local post office Inspectors today received In stractions to Investigate the charges that the malls were misused in gath erlng funds for the McNamara de fense. The evidence will be turned over to the United States district attorney's office. It is believed that the government will prosecute men high in labor coun cils, whom, it may charge with fraud ulent use of the mails in creating the impression the McNamaras were in nocent, and collecting funds for the de fense in that way. A

BURNS HINTS AT GOMPERS NEW York, Dec. 7.—Returning to his attack ou Gompers, W. J. Burns here today said that his agents are shadowing every man wanted for the dynamiting conspiracy and that non will escape. "If Gompers is so innocent why don't he explain how he happened to be in Indianapolis the day after the Mc Namara arrest and voted for the de fense funfl. "The labor leaders were there for a jollification over five dynamitings which were to have occurred at Detroit but failed because the places were too well guarded," PROSECUTOR CHALLENGES GOMP ERS. INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 7. Attorney Miller today demanded that Samuel Gompers sue for an account counting of what disposition had been made of the McNamara defense fund, "as an evidence of good faith and to show the people how much lias been used legitimately, and how much for corruption, fees, and expenses." Miller insists the center of the gov ernment's investigations into the dyna mitings will be here and all others will radiate from Indianapolis. District McManigle Before Grand Jury. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7.— Ortie Mc Manigle, the confessed dynamiter, was taken before the federal grand jury this afternoon. Fredericks positively denied that Mc Maigle would be turned over to the Milwaukee or Peoria authorities af ter he had testified here. "We will loan him wherever his services are needed in the cause of jus tice. but will retain our prior right said Fredericks, to prosecute him.' McManigle's testimony is expected to be the whole ground work from which the government will build the structure which may result in whole sale indictments of labor leaders. He will tell all his operations and what ever the McNamaras told him of the inner circle of dynamiters. ß Fight Over Fund. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7— Following a hot clash with Ryan of the Iron Work over the disposition of the remain ing money of the McNamara defense fund, Samuel Gompers locked the doors to all reporters today. It start ed when secretary Morrison critized Ryan who resented his remarks. era Won't McNamaras LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7.—The Mc Namaras called Captain Gallagher, jailer of the county jail to their cell today and told him they wouldn't un der any circumstances make a state ment to the federal grand jury, which began its sessions today, regarding their knowledge of the dynamiting con spiracy. It is expected that John J. McNa will be called, anyway, and giv opportunity to decline td ap mara en an swer. When the federal prpfie waa Start ed today Special Prosecutor Lawler, took over an hour to carry books, documents, etc. to the grand jury j room. It was all evidence gathered by j Fredericks and Burns. It is expected 1 that many prominent Pacific coast la,10 leaders will be involved. Some f them have already retained Judge Hilton to defend them. Every effort is being made by the federal officials to keep the intentions secret. Picked men guard the grand jury room and the officials refuse to talk. While the grand jury probes the gen eral conspiracy, the Los Angeles auth orities are working on the bribery charges which precipitated the crisis in the McNamara cases. Prosecutor Ford is marshalling his forces in the proceedings against Detective Franklin who gets his first hearing next Mon day. It is believed that all efforts to drop the case will be stopped. It is likely the McNamaras will be taken to San Quentin next week. They will be taken there secretly to prevent any demonstrations. Burns Tells Story. NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—Wm. J. Burns here today said, "Mayor Alexander of Los Angeles hired me first to work on the McNamara case and for a time furnished me with money. I learned early that John McNamara was the man I was after, but I knew I could not arrest him without conclusive evi dence. "In getting the proof I spent $14, 000 of my own money. I still didn't have all the threads of the evidence and I told Alexander I needed more funds. "Alexander was then 'in bad,' be cause he had hired me. The big men of Los Angeles did not want me on the job. I quit. "Later Alexander sent for me. I appeared before three members of the Merchants and Manufactures associa tion and told them all. Then the money was forthcoming again." Burns will go back to Philadelphia tomorrow to continue his work. Ryan Boasts Burns. Dec. WASHINGTON, 7.—"Burns likes to hear himself talk," said Frank Ryan, the president of the Internation al Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers here today. "I'm not hiding," he said. He denied that the iron workers or or ganization is disintegrated as the re sult of the McNamaras' confessions. Ryan started for Indianapolis with out attending the meeting of the Mc Namara defense committee at the Am erican Federation of Labor session. FARMERS WANTED BY U. S. AS JURORS CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—At noon today the government had tentatively pass ed 11 jurors for cause and had a chal lenge pending against the twelfth. The defense will begin the elimination of jurymen this afternoon. The govern ment had 20 peremptories left. The courtroom is again jammed today. The government wants farmers on the jury and closely questioned all venire men drawn who reside in Chicago. ITALY SENDING MORE TROOPS NOW LONDON, Dec. 7.—Milan advices to day announced that the government is preparing to despatch a fifth division of troops to Tripoli. When the division lands there will be approximately 130, 000 troops to cope with about 10,000 Turks and disorganized Arabs of un known numbers. The censorship is so strict that the true situation is un certain, but it is admitted, that the Italians are making no progress. is no reconciliation and the settlement was a financial one. It is understood he paid her $70,000. Sheriff Bob Near Free. NFW YORK, Dec, 7.—Returning from Paris today Robert Chanler said he had "settled with Lina Cavalieri and she will obtain a divorce." There j j TAFT TELLS CONGRESS OF STATE RELATIONS WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Urging es tablishment of a federal "chamber of commerce" ratification of arbitration treaties with Great Britian and France, suggesting ship subsidy and declaring the neutrality of this coun try in foreign disturbances, President Taft today sent a special message on foreign relations to congress. The mesage is the second submitted to congress and will be followed by several others before the holidays. A detailed report of the Mexican rebellion is made by the president, re iterating that he never Intended to intervene unless so ordered by con gress and declaring: "The record of this government is very queer in regard to the recogni tion of constituted authority in Mex ico." Urging reformation of a new gov ernment bureau to exploit American products abroad, the President sug gested a central organization to keep American interests including boards of trade and similar commercial or ganizations, in closer touch with for eign trade opportunities. Peace in Central America is a cause for congratulation, the- President says. In furtherance of international peace, the President expresses, "earnest hope" for "prompt and favorable ac tion," by the senate upon these pend ing treaties with Great Britian and Prance. "An attitude of strict impartiality" is maintained by this country with re gard to the Chinese rebellion, the Pres ident asserts. He says American in terests in China are being safeguarded in strict accord with views of other powers. The message recites that two large loans were placed by American capital in China for the railroads and the importance of China as a field for MYSTERY IS DEEPER IN VIOLA MURDER The mystery surrounding the find ing of the body of an unidentified man near Viola becomes deeper as the of ficials probe into the case. It is now fairly evident that the dead man was Frank Cable, not Steve; in that case, people conversant of the facts wonder, if there has not been an effort upon the part of some to cover up evidence which would lead to establishing the identity of the body, and clews that would point to the murderer. Frank Cable's brother, Dan and sis ter, Mrs. Clark of Pullman, have prac tically identified the body as that of Frank Cable. They declare that the description of the teeth in the skull found fits exactly with that of Frank. One tooth is raising, and the brother declares that he paid for its pulling. Another tooth, broken off is also de scribed, and the body wore a pair of shoes which the brother also identified and declares he paid for. The mashed toe is the one thing that raises a question. Witnesses be fore the coroner's jury, according to the testimony in Coroner McCartor's hands, testified that Steve Cable had Desposal Don't Satisfy. SHANGHAI, Dec. 7.—The republic ans are not satisfied with the abdica tion of the 'Regent Princh Chang, and the organization here of a provis ional assembly. Nanking will then be made the cap ital of the proclaimed republic and the rebel army occupying it will march on to Pekin. It is generally believed that Premier Yuan will soon join the rebels. Feasibility of an international game law is suggested. commercial conquest, on an equal footing with other powers maintain ing Chinese integrity. "In the war which unhappily ex ists between Italy and Turkey," Pres ident Taft says, "this government has no direct political interests. At the same time all necessary steps have been taken to safeguard the personal intrests of Americans." The only reference to differences be tween Russia and Persia, ever reten tion by Persia of W. Morgan Shuster as treasurer, is made by the President as follows: "Persia has been the scene of a long internal struggle. These conditions have been the cause of uneasiness in European diplomacy, but thus far without direct political concern in the United States." "By the direction of the state de partment our ambassdor to Russia has recently been having a series of conferences with the minister of for eign affairs in Russia with the view of securing a clearer understanding of the construction of the treaty of 1632, with modifications of the existing Rus sian regulations which are found to interfere In any way with the full rec ognition of the rights of American cit izens under the treaty. "I believe the government of Russia in addressing itself seriously to the need of chang ing present practices under the treaty." Pleasure is expressed by the Pres ident over conclusion of a new treaty with Japan. The President says he is convinced an American merchant marine should be built up speedily, declaring all oth er great nations pay heavy subsidies, and that this country should not lag behind in this respect. an injured toe, fitting the description of that on the corpse. Further in vestigation is under way to learn if this is not a mistake. That Steve Cable is alive is almost certain. Certainly the body is not that of Steve. Steve Cable, according to Frank's brother, spent a night at his home, last September. At that time he was accused of knowing where Frank Cable was, and why he did not write to his folks. "I don't know anything about him," Steve Cable is reported to has said. Who got Frank Cable's mail, at Viola, or why his brother's letters, written from Pullman were not re turned to the writer; why Dugger got Clawson, with whom the Cables lived, "out of the country" suddenly on the night his wife was to be confined; why Clawson abandoned a home part ly paid for, left his chickens and part of his furniture, and hasn't been heard from since; these are questions that some one must answer, and that the officials are seeking answers for. Meanwhile the investigation is con tinued and the mystery seems to deep en. To Sentence Standard Oil. BUFFALO, Dec. 7.—United States Judge Hasil today deferred sentence until December 22 in the case of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, which was convicted yesterday of hav ing accepted a rebate from railroads on oil shipments from New York to Vermont. The company is guilty on 143 counts and the penalty can be a fine of over two millions. The Stand ard has filed notice for another trial. SOIL TILLAGE EXPERT TO TALK TO FARMERS H. W. Campbell of Lincoln, Neb., widely known as an expert dry farm er and exponent of scientific soil cul ture ,has been secured for an address to the farmers of Latah county. The meeting will be held in Eggan's hall, Saturday afternoon, December 16, at 1:30 o'clock. Mr. Campbell is coming to speak un der the auspices of the college of ag riculture of the university and among the college men who are working for the success of the meeting are Pro fessors Jones. Nicholson, Kennard, Childers, Wicks, Iddings and Dean Carlyle. The agricultural students of the uni versity will be given a special oppor tunity to meet with and hear an ad dress from Mr. Campbell. A meeting for students has been arranged for Morrill hall at 10 o'clock on the same day as the meeting at Bggan's hall. H. W. Campbell has a wonderful reputation as the father of the modern system of dry farming, and is widely known among all Interested in agri cultural development for addresses, publications and practical demonstra tions along the line of moisture con servation, soil tillage and other meth ods that apply to a region of limited rain-fall. By practicing deep plowing, thorough tillage, use of dust mulch and other careful methods, he remain ed in Nebraska during the nineties when hundreds of less efficient farm e rs abandoned their farms and never returned, His wonderful success in spite of drouth, and his unique but very efficient methods won for him a wide notoriety and the title of "Fa ther of Dry Farming." He afterwards ENGLISH CLUB SCORES A NOTABLE TRIUMPH The English club of the University of Idaho last evening achieved a nota ble triumph in a carefully prepared, and thoroughly spirited presentation of George Bernard Shaw's brilliant comedy, "Arms and the Man;" while a delighted audience attended an in tellectual Donnybrook Fair, with the witty Irish author and the militiary men, and applauded the Shavian spirit as Shaw followed that historic Irish saying: "If ye see a head hit ut." War, héros, youthful meat-eating, new-gained wealth, serv ility, the fiction of truth, and a thou sand and one other human foibles are targets, in "Arms and the Man," for Shaw's biting wit. Although the Irishman has been placed high among the high-brows his wit and his fun have a universal appeal. Shaw, with characteristic iconoclasim has broken the classic rule that comedy consists in differences from common humanity, while tragedy is effective because of its similarity to the hopes and aims and emotions of the audience. The audi ence last night felt itself unmasked as Bluntschli ruthlessly stripped Saranoffi and Raina of the trappings and tinsel of fictive idols and ideals, and had to laugh at itself. "Arms and the Man" is the most dif ficult play ever attempted by the Eng lish club with the exception, perhaps, of Ibsen's "Doll's House." It is a play difficult of interpretation, because of Shaw's irrepressive determination to poke fun at everything, and everybody, even to the actors, and because Shaw has his own theories of dialogue which at times make action slow. Notwith standing these difficulties the players last night achieved a distinct suc cess. Miss Beth Soulen was an admir ideals, Nagel to Supreme Bench. WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.—It is declar ed openly in official circles today that Secretary of Commerce and La bor Charles Nagel will probably be the next supreme judge appointed. Attorney General Wickersham is back ing him strong. Trouble in Mexico. EL PASO, Dec. 7.—Another outbreak against Madero is reported in Chihu ahua. Troops are bing rushed to the cities of Reas and Parral. took to the lecture platform to tell the results he had accomplished and the principles he put into practice to the fanners of the great west, and has addressed thousands of farmers in the great region west of the iMssissippi and by means of published lectures distributed to every region of limited rain-fall of the globe and translated into many foreign languages he has reached hundreds of thousands of others. He has been a practical farmer for 30 years and at the present time di rects a number of demonstration farms in different parts of the states of the west, where his system of handling soil and crops are put into actual practice and exemplified. He is also an author, editor and inventor. His best known work is the "Campbell Soil Culture Manual." He edits Campbell's "Scientific Farmer." Finding the need of compressing the lower layers of the buried furrow and establishing a firm connection between the soil turned un der and the bottom of the furrow, Mr. Campbell invented and patented the Campbell subsurface packer, tool is used on thousands of the farms o fthe west and has been found a won derful help to the farmer. The meeting aranged for Moscow is for farmers and for all interested parties. After the regular lectures opportunity will be given to ask the speaker questions. The "question box" is always a big feature of the Camp bell meetings. This man has render ed a great service to western agricul ture, and is one of the big figures in public life. He comes with a message for tlie people, and particularly for the farmers of Latah county. This able Raina, a splendidly sympathetic type of the gushing, dreaming girl of-illustions, and possessed a remarka ble stage presence. Professor Lehman was almost too good, as Saranoff, in terpreting the "hero" of ideals with such sympathy as almost to carry the audience with him in spite of Shaw's evident purpose of mockery in the character; almost, but not quite, and in that distinction was his triumph. Professor Lehman has a beautifully sympathetic and vibrant voice that was distinctly pleasing in his juvenile character. Miss Katheryn Smith, the "Louka" was interesting in her spir ited and petulent interpretation of that ambitious servant, and Miss Wayman in the ungrateful part of the newly rich Mrs. Petkoff left little to be de sired. Mr. Faris was interesting in his interpretation of the irrascible and vulgar Major Petkoff and mastered many difficulties in carrying an illu sion of age across the footlights. Mr. Wheeler, although cast for the part by an accident in the eleventh hour, and Mr. O'Donnell, were adequate as "Nicola" and the "Officer." To Pro fessor Tull fell the difficult and dis illusioning part of "Capt. Bluntschli," and the former coach in the university dramatics demonstrated that he could "do," as well as "know." His portrait of the matter of fact mercenary, who was like a "commercial traveller" was delightful in its dry and rather en nuied interpretation, and entered deep ly into the spirit of the dramatist. Between acts the university orch estra rendered delightful music, al though Professor Collens and his musicians were handicapped in an artistic way by the refusal of the aud ience to accord them that civility so necessary to music—silence.

We The beef barons are on trial, only hope that the result of the Chi cago trial may not be summed up in the words with which President Taft explained away the fruitlessness former prosecutions under the Sher man act in his recent message. The President said; "Criminal proceed ings have been brought and a number pending, but juries have felt averse to convicting for jail sentences, and of are judges have been most reluctant to im pose such sentences on spectable standing in society whose offense has been regarded as merely men or re statutory." Rather let us hope that the Pres ident's following statement may ap ply. and that the barons who have looted the pockets of the ultimate con sumer for so many years he given what they deserve. For, says the Presidetn hopefully: "Still, as the offense be comes better understood and the com mitting of it partakes more of stu died and deliberate defiance of the law, we can be confident that jurors, will conduct individuals and that jail sentences will be imposed." THE KNOCKER. Satan was at one time a man. Later he developed into an angel and dwelt in Paradise. There must have been a time when he was worthy of trust and affection, otherwise the Almighty would have never have allowed him to enter heaven. But Satan was of a peculiar disposi tlon. He had the "artistic temperament," which is to say, he was moody, irrita ble, faultfinder, also he was idle. He smoked cigarettes much of the time and was full of dope and booze. Instead of trying to remedy the weak points of Paradise, he merely pointed them out, and harangued about them to all who would listen. And Satan still finds mischief for idle hands to do. It was the same then. Satan would neither tune harps, launder the robes, nor polish the pave ment, which was made of gold and preseious stones. It took a lot of labor, and a deal of skill to set the paving-stones, but while the workers were at it, Satan would sit on the curb and make sport of them. When the Almighty came around to see how things were getting along, Satan would whisper unkind things about Him after He had passed and T IS COLDER at the north pole than it is at Ihe equator, hut it wouldn't make any dif ference if you had a Thermos Bottle, how hot or how cold the temperature.

The Almighty warned Satan from time to time to get busy, but his an swer was, "I am." "'Sure enough," replied the Almighty, •'but at the wrong thing." They tried to get Satan to lead the choral society, and break in the new arrivals, some of whom sang slightly off key. "I teach those jays? Why they have no voice. They have only a diease. You should never have let them in— what this place needs is a new gate keeper who has his nerve with him, and can direct the wrong applicant where to go! No, I'll not lead your orchestra; and anyway, I am drill ing a little class of my own, and have no time; I am organizing an Anvil Chorus." It was no use, Satan would not do what he was told. He always knew better way, and he sneered at eve ry plan for a heavenly betterment that he did not suggest himself. And he suggested preseious few, and There was only one thing that in terested him, and that was the Anvil chorus. When the saints sang hallelujahs, Satan would start up his favorite in strument and pound. He wasn't in dustrious in anything but knocking. Finally he had gotten so many peo ple believing that the anvil was sweet er than the harp, that the Almighty lost patience. And when it was discovered that Satan had started a factory to make hammer-handles the Almighty decid ed to fire him bodily. So the word was passed along, and the saints quietly tucked their robes under their belts and made a "rush for Mr. Satan and his band of Knock era.

Deserter Becomes a Professional Spy. VIENNA, Dec. 7.—The trial of Hans Bords, 28 years old, accused of espionage .abounds in interesting de tails. Hans Bords is the son of a Prussian singer at the court opera. He deserted from the German navy at an early stage of his career and has been a professional spy for seven years. He is a man of elegant appearance, and has an extraordinary talent for languages. During the trial, from which the public were excluded, he related that he began his career in a Parsian inquiry office, where he was employed in obtaining plans and secret documents. He was sent to Austria, in the com pany of an officer and an agent of the firm who traveled abroad, for the pur pose of corrupting officers. They brought back photographs of the har bors of Trieste and Pola. A Des Moines man had an attack of muscular rheumatism in his shoulder. A friend advised him to go to Hot Springs. That meant an expense of $150.00 or more. He sought for a quicker and cheaper way to cure it and found it in Chamberlain's Lini ment.

Orchard declared that he regarded the admission of the McNamaras as strongly corroborating the story he told on the stand in the Haywood Moyer-Pettibone cases, in that it sup ported his statement, which no doubt has been regarded as improbable by many, that there were men who would hire others to commit murder and to destroy property and that there was those who would do it for pay, just as Orchard did and just as McMan /f When You Buy Cakes and Pies You want to be certain that you are getting only the best and most wholesome ingredients.

J., Dec. 7.—Miss Sadie Urstra, an athletic young wom an, fulfilled her promise to Justice Kammelher of Little Falls when she walked into his office with Joe Bleach, and remarked, "Here, judge, is your prisoner." Bleach was accused by Mrs. Lizzie Durk, a neighbor, of disorderly con duct ad the warrant was given to Chief of Police John Dougherty of Little Falls to serve. That was two months ago. The chief returned the warrant unserved and then it was given to Sergeant Aerial Van Gieson. The ser geant also returned the paper, saying he could not catch Bleach.

The Pullman Tribune says: "Doubt whether W. S.

Now, in. reply to the Pullman Tribune will say that I think the men who acted judges were too honorable to do any thing but what was deserving in their estimation. I further say I have al ways considered it very poor sports manship for anyone to enter a con as the decision was not to their liking, offer excuses or say it was not on the square. My band won fair and could do the same thing over again. Pullman made a good showing and deserves much credit, but the Mos cow band made a better showing. In regards to the leader of the Lewiston band, expressing the wish that the second prize go to the W. S.
