"This man," said Ford, "was direct ly responsible for the loss of 21 lives. We know that John McNamara sent Jim McNamara to do the work under his direction and that he ordered the Times dynamited. The man has not been heard from since he left New York for the Pacific coast recently.'' Ford said that: "Although the man is supposed to have disappeared we know where he is. He cannot escape. He is being shadowed day and night. John McNamara did not know when Jim was sent out here that he was wanted to dynamite the Times and neither did Jim. This man was in Los Angeles at the time of the explosion. VYe will convict him when the case comes to trial." Enlarge Probe's Scope. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13.—It was learned today that Lawler is to enlarge the scope of the federal dynamiting probe, hare to include the investigation of the allegation that the jury, bribing fund for the McNamaras amounted to thousands of dollars and was in the hahds of persons connected with the for their disposal.

DEMAND VOTE FOR PRESIDENT SACRAMENTO, Dec. 13.—Without a dissenting vote the California senate today adopted a resolution calling up to submit a constitutional on congress amendment providing for the election of president and vice president by di rect, popular and nation-wide vote. Defending the resolution it was gued that the electorial college con centrates the power of the presidential choice within a new pivotal states and that it is useless for a republican to vote in the south as it is for a dem ocrat to go to the polls in Pennsyl vania. "People of 36 states," said Sen ator Sanford, "waste time when they ar vote for president" G. P.

Contrary to expectations Prosecu tor Fredericks has actively resumed the work of bringing the other men im plicated in the Times dynamiting to justice. It is understood a well known Californian labor leader will soon be arrested. It is alleged he specifically in dyna directed James McNamara miting the Times. It is said this official is under the joint surveilance of Burns and the of ficial agents. Before the investigations were re sumed today Mrs. Lena Ingersoll and Mrs. Belle Lavin, both of San Fran cisco, with whom J. B. McNamara boarded, were closeted for some time with Government Agent Lawler. Throughout the morning a long stream of witnesses appeared in the United States district attorney's of It is said the labor leader will flee. be arrested as soon as the witnesses have testified. Tvietmo Missing. SAN FRANCISCO, »Dec. 13—The whereabouts of Olaf Tvietmo, presi dent of the San Francisco Labor Council and of Antone Johannsen, a fellow official continues to puzzle the federal authorities.

When the Bryant took off the pas sengers, the captain and crew remain ed aboard and hope to float the ves sell. She How Strong is Taft? WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—-Chairman New of the national convention com mittee and Edwin Lee, chairman of the republican state committee of Indiana, are at swords point today because Lee said Taft could not carry Indiana in 1912. New says the statement was "Inspired." Lee says it was made af ter a tedious examination of the sit uation. Jury Comes Slowly. CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—There is little chance of completing the jury which will try J. Ogden Armour and the other packers before January 1. This was evidenced today when a second panel of fifty talesmen was examined. Twen ty-eight were excused. Honor St. Patrick. ROME, Dec. 13.—Pope Pius today is sued a decree making St. Patrick's Day a holiday but not one of obliga atlon, thus making attendance at mass optional with the laity. In effect it makes St. Patrick's Day a feast day. ENGLISH, OR THE AMERICAN PLAN? SHANGHAI. Dec. 13.—Whether the British or the American form of gov ernment shall rule in rejuvenated China is expected to be decided when Wu Ting Fang and Tang Shai meet here in a conference on the matter. Tang left Hankow for Shanghai today. He has been instructed by the rebel leaders on the Yangtse Kiang to sup port the British form. Wu favors the American plan. Probably a compro mise scheme will be devised. City to Own Car Line. SEATTLE, Dec. 13.—Bids for the construction of a municipal street car line will be asked for today accord ing to the decision of the city of ficials. The line will run from the north to the south city limits and probably will be completed in six months. Graft in 'Frisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.—Graft was charged in the administration of the Geary street municipal railway by the grand jury today. It is said they padded the payroll. Bight officials and employees have been summoned to explain. SULZER DEMANDS THAT TREATY BE ABROGATED WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Immediate action by congress for the abrogation o fthe Russian treaty was demanded in the house by Congressman Sulzer today as the result of Russias refusal to honor the passports of Jewish Am ericans. He roasted Russia, saying: "For nearly half a century Russia per sistently has refused to live up to the treaty and recognize the passports of American citizens without dis crimination. FORMER IDAHO STAR STILL IN TRAINING Clarence Edmundson, known as one of the best half-milers in the world today, is Seattle's newest high school athletic tutor. At the beginning of the school semester he was secured by Mr. Dwan, faculty advisor of the Broad way Athletic Association, to teach in the commercial department of the school. Mr. Edmundson voluntarily will act as coach in basketball and track without pay for the coming sea son. Edmundson has taken up his task as it is a good means for him to keep in training during the winter. Ibis is his first year as a coach, and al though rather inexperienced in this line of work, he is making good righ 1 from the start. Cross Country Runs. Although rather early in the season, the new coach is taking the track squad out twice a week for cross country runs. The boys are workmg hard under their new tutor, and, as he is such a pleasant fellow to get along with, the athletes seem to abide strict ly by the plans he lays out. Aside from track, Mr. Edmundson will be Broadway's coach in basket ball. The first turnout was held some time ago when close to twenty promis ing aspirants answered the call. Ed mundson has a splendid career as a basketball player, having played n the University of Idaho team for two years. During the season of 1908 and 1909 he was officially chosen All Northwestem guard. DEMOCRATS WIN IN NEW STATE PHOENIX, Dec. 13.—Although the count is proceeding slow and returns are fragmentary, the republicans ad mitted today that the democrats prob ably won the election by a small ma jority and have every office save pos sibly that of state treasurer. This means that G. Hunt, a democrat, will be Arizona's first governor and Carl Hayden her congressman. The demo crats will have a large majority in both state houses which will elect the two United States senators. Chairman Hayes of the republican committee said the democrats would carry probably the whole ticket by 500 majority. Chairman Birdo of the democratic committee estimated they would have a majority of 3500. Probe Nears End. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Senator Dillingham of Vermont, announced to day that all the parties to the long drawn out Lorimer election investiga tion had agreed to bring the probe to an early end. Lorimer will probably testify soon and thereafter the matter will be rushed to a vote. "We can't tolerate this injustice. "It is foreign to everything for which civilization stands. "This is not specifically a Jewish question. It is a question involving the rights of American citizens. Russia not alone refuses to recognize Jewish passports but those issued to Baptist missionaries and Catholic priests. This matter must be settled definitely once and for all. A new treaty must be arranged without loop holes for Rus sia to discriminate." Mr. Edmundson began his ath'eti'. career in his home town. Moscow, Ida. While participating in a dual meet be tween the W. S. C. and the University of Idaho, he took second place in the half. This was in the year of 1904. Broke College Kecord. In 1905 he broke the Northwest in tercollegiate record by the fast ti ae of 2 minutes and 1-6 seconds. Also ran the mile in 4 minutes and 35 2-5 sec onds. This meet was open to all col leges. The years of 06, '07 and '08 were spent ip college athletics. During the spring of '08 he tried out for the Olym pic team, but in spite of the fact that he won the 800 meters in the tryout, he was not selected as a representa tive. Tied A. A. U. Mark. During the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc exposition he ran for the Seattle Athletic club, winning the half-mile event in the A. A. U. championship meet, held on the exposition campus. By doing so he tied the A. A. U. rec ord in that event, covering the dis tance in 1:55 1-5. During the past summer Mr. Ed mundson again ran for the S. A. C. and won the half mile in the P. N. A. meet, held in Seattle last summer on the Madison park speedway. He was later defeated in Pittsburg by a few inches, the winner making it in 1:54 1-5. Mr. Edmundson will again try for the Olympic team which goes to Sweden next summer. ETHEL CONRAD PAYS HER RESPECTS TO STOKES NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—"Stokes ruin leged attempt to murder the million aire hotelman Stokes, Ethel Conrad today gave the above as Miss Graham's description of Stokes. She was an adept witness and with a large legal knowledge she avoided answering when she didn't desire to do so. She ed me. He never paid his debts.

Plerpont WILL BIND DELEGATES TO PREVENT STAMPEDE WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Taft's sec retary, Hilles and New of Indiana, the newly elected head of the republican national committee having in charge the convention arrangements, are to KENNEDY FORD FARMER PRAISES MOSCOW INDUSTRY John I. Anderson of Kennedy Ford, one of the earliest settlers in Latah county, spent the day in Moscow. Af ter paying his taxes he visited the factory of the Idaho National, saying he was well pleased with the success the Idaho National is making. He be lieves it has a great future. "I am go ing to have one of these," said Mr. Anderson. "This year I harvested about a hundred and fifty acres, .pay ing for the threshing alone $400 in cash, and this is making no allowance for the waste. It took a lot of my crop to feed the horses with the big rig, and then there is a lot of waste. Besides I had to bind and shock, and there is the twine bill, which amounts to a lot. MOSCOW NEEDS MODERN COLD STORAGE PLANT "The greatest need of this commun ity today," said a prominent merchant to the Star-Mirror editor, "is a modern cold storage plant. For twenty years that I have been in business in Moscow there has never been a year when dur ing December and January eggs were not worth $9 a case. Yet during a greater part of the year fresh eggs can be bought here for from $4.50 to $6 per case. But without a modern cold storage plant it is impossible to keep eggs any length of time, and the result is that all the surplus is ship ped out of the community and sold to Spokane dealers wno hold them till this time of the year and then ship them back to Moscow, and take the profits out of the community. 1 his could be kept here in Moscow, and it would tend to stimulate the egg market all the year. It would be a good thing for. the local poultry owners, as well as Moscow. It would give our city a de sirable industry. Burlbd The funeral of Adolph Ecksirom, who committed suicide by »Tooting, yesterday morning, was /held uhls Eckstrom

denied that she was discharged from Leslie Carter's company while she was acting, because she had tried to com mit suicide. She denied that she ever supported Miss Graham or took money from Farley, the strikebreaker in whose house the state charged she lived at Plattsburg. She said she did not aid Miss Graham in composing her suicide note, in wnich she accused Stokes as responsible and then took carbolic acid from which she recover ed. Morgan, appeared today before the senate committee on commerce, be a branch of the United States de partment of commerce and labor and thought the body should be empowered to license corporations doing inter state business so it could control them. He suggested this commission should day busy framing for the Taft lead ers in various states iron clad Taft instructions to prevent any anti-Taft stampede. The arrangements com mittee meets in the second week of January in Chicago. "And then, because of poor thresh ing, my wheat was cracked, and so bodly that I was docked seven cents a bushel. Think of that, when the Moscow machine has never cracked a kernel. This is the testimony of all that have used them. They do the best kind of work and save the farm er money. I am going to have one. I own some of the stock and am well pleased with my investment. The in vention has an Immense future, and even if they can never operate them in the Palouse country stock will be valuable because there is so much territory like California where they are successful that the market can not be supplied." "There is another feature of this business that might be mentioned, and a profitable one. Moscow should bo supplied with manufactured ice. There is a demand for it, and as yet, it is not supplied. With a modern cold storage plant would be an ice factory, the need of which cannot be ques tioned. Look at the success of the plant at Pullman, and at Boise. I know the same business is paying handsome dividends. "I want a cold storage plant in Mos cow for still another reason. It would benefit our fruit growers. For illus tration, we could keep our pears till this time of the year when they would bring a fancy price. Cold storage would benefit the producers of this sec tion, and it looks like a fine business opportunity." There seems to be a lot of valuable food for thought in the above sugges tions, and Moscow enterprise might find it worth while to investigate this proposition. morning at 10 o'clock at the Steltz Mortuary chapel.

That is the question that some people insist on asking eve ry time the apple proposition is rais ed. Well, figure It at its worst and you may put It down as a demonstra ted fact that they pay better than wheat, while under average conditions there Is no comparison. Let us do a little figuring. It takes 50 trees to plan an acre. At the age of seven or eight good trees should bear several boxes per tree. Let us place the aver age as low as two and a half boxes per year. Now this Is unreasonably low, but let us make it low. The aver age price to the grower for fancy com mercial apples, taking the low aver age yield of two and a half boxes per tree, will never fall below $2.50 per tree. Fifty trees to the acre would make the gross income per acre $150. Now as a matter of fact the cost per acre tq grow apples is probably no more than the cost per acre to grow wheat, but let us figure the cost per acre at $100. This leaves $25 per acre, or ten per cent on a valuation of $250 per acre. And we have been conserva tive to the extent of the rediculous. Now compare this with wheat. With the orchard may be carried on a profitable poultry business, for poul try cannot damage fruit, while they destroy many pests, and the culls may be fed to hogs at a profit, or con verted Into vinegar at a gain. Would It not pay every farmer to plant ten acres to good commercial apples Figure on It. It would take just that much land out of the wheat business and tend to lessen the competition on your grain. Moscow will have ten thousand population in less than five years. Mark this prediction. And put it down that the population of the coun try tributary to Moscow will more than double, we believe Increase four hundred per cent in the same time. All of which means big things for Mos cow. You say it is impossible. Not at all. Eugene, Oregon, with less up on which to build, grew in five years from a town the size of Moscow to twenty thousand. Five years will find the local plant of the Idaho Na tional Harvester employing two hun dred and fifty men, and probably more; five years will find paved streets and cement walks all over town, with new Industries, and increased busi ness for those now here.

That is their privilege, and if they get any satisfaction out our consent to keep it up. Governor McConnell points out that a recent Boise dispatch published in the Star-Mirror was fn error in stating that the constitutional amendment of 19Ö5 fixes a minimum tax of 10 mills. The maximum is fixed at 10 mills, and the minimum is not fixed by the constitution. "If you fellows want to scrap,'' said a Moscow man the other day, "come out in the street and I will referee it." And one of the bellgerants innocently answered: "Can you swim?" Amusing mistakes sometimes hap pen in a newspaper office. Yesterday the types happened to read: kane has a new murder industry."

Campbell for Moscow, Saturday afternoon, December 16, will be a very important one, and should attract a great deal of interest among the farm ers of Latah county, is indicated by the press reports that come from towns in Washington where Mr. Campbell is now appearing. At nearly every meet ing the halls have been taxed to their capacity, and at some places the high schools have been dismissed and all business houses closed during the time of the meeting. The following shows a very successful meeting at Odessa: ODESSA, Dec. 9.—One of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings held by Odessa farmers was addressed by Professor W. H. Campbell, farming expert of Lincoln, Neb., at the Odessa tirely new to Moscow. They are called Tel os. They are silk, always remain sweet, and they are hygienic, and"— Here her memory failed and she for got the rest of the printed matter on the little paraffine paper envelope holding the remarkable cloth. Any way, it costs thirty cents, too," she added by way of climax. "Don't you think these will surely take well?" inquired anxiously an other member of the committee. I think they are perfect darling," and she held out for inspection a dainty little sterling silver picture frame with a purple velvet back, all for sixty cents. Meantime, the reporter had spied some odd-looking, little brown squares which, being something to eat, he be came promptly interested in to the exclusion of germ-removers and san itary scrubbing rags. He was told that the little brown squares were German cakes, called tortes, that they sold for twenty-five cents a dozen, and that they were delicious. The reporter can not vouch for the nationality of the cakes or for their family name, but he is dead sure that they taste mighty good and that a little sack full of those chewy brown morsels would be fine to take home to the kiddies, if one could get such good things safely home. When you go to the Guild Hall on Thursday evening or Saturday, be sure that, even though you did not find a sleeping beauty or a nightingale in this fairy and flowery retreat, you will find something a whole lot more filling and satisfactory.

Mr. Campbell said that in the last six years, three dry and three normal, Nebraska averaged 46 bushels of wheat per acre, the highest average being 47 bushels in 1899.

THE MOSCOWSTATE BANK will give the students and people of Moscow an opportunity of hearing a comic opera that has made actually millions laugh. The delightful, whimsi cal humor of Gilbert wedded to the tuneful music of Sir Arthur Sullivan makes an entertainment that one should be sorry to miss. It is a classic of its kind. An acquaintance with the characters of the play enriches one's experience. Captain Corcoran, R. N., is a very hu mane, gallant and distinguished of ficer, who does everything in his pow er to make his crew happy and com fortable. He encourages musical taste among his crew, he makes It a rule on board that nobody shall ever say any sung—a rule that is relaxed only when a heavy gale is blowing, or when he has a bilious headache. He has vanilla ices, sugar plums, hardbake and rasp berry jam served out every day with a liberal hand. In short, he does everything possible to make every body thoroughly ill and happy. The part of Captain Corcoran is taken by Mr. Ernest Loux. Captain Corcoran's daughter Jose phine, a beautiful young lady. Is very popular on deck. Every single gen tleman who sees her falls in love with Perhaps her most attractive her. feature is her nose, which Is neither too long nor too short, nor too nar row, nor too broad nor too straight. It is such a maddening little nose, and has such an extraordinary effect on the world at large, that whenever she goes into society, she finds it neces sary to wea$ a large pasteboard arti ficial nose of so unbecoming and rid iculous a description that people pass her without taking the smallest notice of her. Miss Mary Petcina has this part. One of the smartest sailors on board' Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore is a young fellow called Ralph Rackstraw, al though that is not his real name. Un happily he has got it into his silly I head tha t a British man-of-war's man I is a muc ii finer fellow than he real ly is, no doubt, a very fine fellow, but perhaps not quite so fine a fellow as Ralps Rackstraw thinks he is. He actually thinks he has a right to aspire to the hand of Josephine, the Captain's daughter. And, strange to say, after much heart-breaking trouble and ad venture, he does so. Mr. Enoch Per kins has this part. WATCH IN TURKEY'S CROP NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—A cafe at Tenth street and Second avenue had exhibition a woman's blue enamel on ed gold watch, which, the management said, had been found by the chief in the crop of a twenty-flve-pound turkey. The turkey was one of a consignment from Walter Jennings, who has poultry farm near Bennington, Vt. While the turkey was being dressed, so the chef says, he noted a bulge in the crop, and, after performing a minor oi'eration, he brought to light the watch.

The total earnings fall short of the amount reported a year ago, but the committee explains this by the fact that only the students on its lists were asked for reports this year, whereas in other years the en tire student body was asked record of its earnings. The students tried their hands at every form of employment imaginable from acting as secretary of tional reform association down to lay ing brick. Nearly one-half of the total lugs were made during the summer vacation of 1910, when the students earned $7,877.94 with the aid of the committee and $24,438.61 without its aid, amounting in all to $32,316.55.

NOW ORGANIZING AT MOSCOW RODENTS CHEW TO PULP BILLS HOARDED FOR YEARS WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—The sav ings of Jack Simpson of Atkin, Minn., amounting to $2,565, secretly hidden from burglars, were reduced to pulp by hungry rats and mice, and in a let ter received by President Taft he ap pealed for the redemption by the fed eral treasury of the pulvrlzed frag ments His wealth, accumulated to buy a farm, Simpson explains, was placed in a box and deposited between the "upstairs floor and ceiling." No hu man being disturbed it, but when he took it from Its hiding place he found it reduced to dust by the ravages of rodents. The president has referred the mat ter to the treasury department for in-! vestigation. The treasury department recently redeemed for a Kansas farmer a roll of bills which slipped out of his back pocket while plowing his fields and were buried in the soil for a year. The money, subjected to rain and frost, was a sorry sight when he recovered It upon replowing the field the follow ing season. The treasury experts succeeded in piecing it together and sufficiently es tablishing its identity for redemption. DOG GOES ON SPREES MUNCIE, Ind., Dec. 13.—"Trixie's gone again, I suppose, on her regular monthly spree, but I dunno," said a man whose name could not be learned, appearing in Central police station. "It's an old complaint," said the night desk sergeant, Thomas Prutz man. "This dog disappears periodi cally and goes on a protracted 'drunk.' No nature fake, I tell you. "Trixie has a fondness for beer, and so many people around town know it that when the dog appears she is given all she will drink every place she goes. SANTA CLAUS SAYS: DEAR MR. SHERFEY, Moscow, Idaho. Your stock of Christmas Goods is line. SANTA CLAUS. The result is that the dog soon gets on a terrific 'jag' and fails to return home. Generally Trixie herself re covers from the spree and goes home with her tail between her legs, and with the expression on her face of any other penitent after a night of rev elry." DECLARES KISSES ARE WORTH CASH NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—The privi lege of kissing a good-looking woman and taking her to theatres and dances for almost two years should be worth $95, thinks Justice Rosenthal of the Sixth District Municipal court, Brook lyn. "What are your ideas of gallantry?" the judge asked James E. Ryan, a bridge department employee. Ryan had Mrs. Josephine Daly, wife of a pa trolman, summoned to court in an ef fort to recover a $95 diamond ring he had given to her and $10 he said he had loaned. "I was a sucker," Ryan said. "We had been keeping company for nearly two years and were looking forward to our wedding day. 1 was finally able to get the ring for her and she seemed to be very happy. When we were just about to marry, however, she ran off and married a cop. Now I want the ring and money back." "Come, come, man." said Justice Rosenthal, "don't you think you had $105 worth of fun?" "I was a sucker," Ryan repeated. "During those two years," Judge Rosenthal continued, "didn't you have theatre parties, dances and all sorts of amusement with a pretty woman, and some hugging and kissing and loving on the side?" Ryan admitted he had had those things, but lie thought that should not enter into the case. Mrs. Daly had a very poor idea of a lot of amusements if that was the way It was valued, he said. Mrs. Daly denied that the $10 was a loan. She said Ryan had paid her that amount for an umbrella he had broken. The ring, she said, she received just as a present and with no idea that it was an engagement ring. After a long argument Justice Ro senthal awarded $10 to the disappoint ed Ryan.
