IDAHO WOOL GROWERS PROTEST
Congress Denounced for Placing Their
Product on the Free List

| Boise, Idaho, Sept 1O.-The Idaho
| Wool Growers Associat ton held an in
teresting meeting and transacted a
large amount of business. The oues-
ton of the association assisting to de-
fray the expenses of the prosecution of
the men who will be arrested for cattle
killing in Long Valley came up on the
report of the committee to which the
matter was referred. The committee
reported that the prosecution would
cost the stoclSmen in the neighborhood
Of $500. After considerable discussion
it was decided by a vote of 25 to 7 to do
nate $3.50 to aid the cause of the Long
valley stocl1men.
During the day Senator Shoup was
sent for. The senator responded and
addressed the association briefly. assur-
ing the members of his interest in their
welfare and stating that he would do
everything in his power for the ad-
Nancement Of their industry. An inter-
esting discussion took place over the
shearing question, comparison being
made between the hand and the ma
chlne work. Mr.. Ormsby stated that a
pand OF sheep at Casper. Wyo., was di-
Vlded, half being sheared by hand, the
olhefs by machine The machine, he
stated, had saved the cost of shearing
in the increase in the amount of wool
secured.
Ihe resolution committee composed of
f. r. Gooding, F. J. Hagert, John Nc
MILAN and A. b. Clark, then reported
The report was unanimously adopted
1t Will be forwarded to Idaho's repre-
sentatives in congress. The resolutions
recite the effect of the free wool clause
OF the democratic tariff law giving
elaborate tables of figures and con-
cluded as follows:
hteSolVed, That free wool has proved
a disastrous and appalling mistake In
the United States, entailing direct
loss upon the sheep industry of this
country Of more than $3.50, 900, 900 and
reduced the price of sheep and wool
fully one-half
''Resolved, That the interest of this
country demands early action at the
hands of the Fifty-fourth congress and
the correction of the appalling mistake.
NO supposed party or political advan-
tage will justify it in postponing this
plain and honest duty
"Resolved, That the singling out Of
wool from among the so-called raw ma
terials for sacrifice by the last congress.
while others of less Importance We're,
cared for and protected was a crime
and an outrage upon our industry and
should be resented at the polls.
'ResOlVed, That if it shall unwiseIv
and unjustly become the settled policy
IF the government to maintain free
wool, we will then as a measure of
equal justice, demand free wooden and
20ttOn goods and we ask our senators
and congressmen to lend their energies
that way until the manufacturers are
placed on the same footing as the pro-
iucers of this country"

Alert ACCUSED of Disrespect.
Washington, June 21.-Commander
George Ide OF the United States. ship
Alert, now at Panama, has been relieved
Of his command by a cablegram order
and will be succeeded by Commander
Franklin Hanford, at present on duty
At the New York navy yard, who will
take the steamer Tune 30 for the 18TH
nus. Commander Ide. however, will
lot be allowed to retain his command
until his successor reaches his ship.
n reason for this summary action is
charges preferred by Admiral Meade
that the commander had treated him
with disrespect. The exact nature of
these charges vas not made known at
the navy department, but IL is known
that the incident occurred last spring
At Panama. Admiral Meade and Assist
ant Secretary McAdoo. while cruising
In the Caribbean sea, had touched CO.
lon, and the two officials crossed the
isthmus To Panama on the railroad.
Here they met Commander Ide, and IL
was during this meeting the incident oc-
Cured that led the admiral to prefer
charges against the commander.
The department acted deliberately In
the matter, making a careful investiga-
ton into the case and finally sending
copies OF the charges by mail to Com
mander fde TO afford him an opportun-
ity to defend himself. Apparently his
answer was not satisfactory, as his re-
moval from his command followed. Ide
Will go on waiting orders for an indefi-
mite time.

of the ship. These have been christened
haphazard by the builders. the sailors

bureau officers of the navy department
