WHAT JUDGES THINK
Opinions of Idaho Judiciary on Reducing
Public Expenses.

With view of being able to make
suggestions to the present session of the
Legislature, looking to a reduction of
public expenses, Governor Mcconnell
recently addressed letters to each of the
five district judges. asking them for
suggestions Fof needed legislation to
bring about a more economical admin
istration of our laws, says the Boise
Statesman.
Judge Piper, of the Second: Judge
Stockslager, of the Fourth, and Judge
Standrod. Of the Fifth district. ans
wered the communication and for
warded their opinions which together
with the recommendations of the SUI
preme court judges have been trans
mitted to the house and senate.
The supreme court judges suggest
an amendment to section 4,912 revised
statutes, 50 as to allow a party dissat-
fed with the cost claim of the opposite
party in a suit 10 days in which to file
a motion to have the same taxed by the
court in which judgment was rendered
instead Of three days as at present.
Representative Wyman introduced a
bin covering the ground 1t has al
ready passed the house.
Attention is also called To section 1O7
of page 80, first session laws as being
in direct conflict with the consttu-
ton i'm this, that 1t provides, that if
any two or more persons have an equal
and the highest number of votes for
member of either house of the legisla-
ture, for judge OF the supreme or dis
trict courts, for district attorney or any
state office, the state canvassers shall
proceed to determine, by lot, which Of
the candidates shall be declared elect
ed The constitution provides that in
such instances the two houses Of the
legislature shall by joint ballot elect
one of such persons.
ROAD OVERSEERS
The judges also make the following
recommendations:
Amend section SS7. revised statutes,
SO as TO extend to towns and villages
the power to appoint road overseers,
which, under the present law, is only
granted incorporated cities.
Amend section 4,139, revised statutes.
so as TO require clerks of court to in

! ported in second Idaho reports, $40
Judge Standrod thinks the present
law allowing sheriffs 80 cents mileage
each way in arresting criminals and
! taking them before the magistrate,
should be modified.
| Referring to the law enacted at the
last session, providing for the payment
of fees of witnesses Judge Standrod
says: This law gives every defendant
at least five witnesses absolutely and
then provides for more in case of neces-
! sity. This law is an outrage upon
the law abiding citizens and the tax
payer. Whatever may be the wealth Of
the defendant the county must furnish
him witnesses for his defense" The
matter of providing witnesses should
be left to the discretion Of the court.
He also suggests that the mileage of
| jurors be reduced one-half.
Judge Piper would fix the mileage

INDIAN TROUBLE EXAGGERATED.
Lewiston People Unable to Discover

Lewiston, Idaho. Jan PA telegram
in The Spokesman-Re Review in regard to
threatened trouble with the Nez Perez

discussed, has caused much comment Of
an unfaVOrable nature in Lewiston
Your correspondent today went out to
Lapwai, where Colonel John Lane is
now preparing the final rolls with a
view to ascertain the facts in regard to
the sensational telegram. Colonel Lane
regretted exceedingly that such rumors
had got into the press, as there was no
foundation for them and there was not
the least apprehension of danger or
trouble. True, some Of those who have
always opposed the treaty refuse to give
any information needed to complete the
rolls and say they will not receive any
money for their lands from Uncle Sam.
but Colonel Lane says the rolls will be
completed as best they can and for
warded to Washington. and if any In
dams are left out that it will be their
own fault and loss.
The necessary detail work is progress
sing satisfactorily though, on account
of Agent RObinson's sickness and the
snow in the mountains preventing the
Indians coming in, the rolls cannot be
completed as soon as hoped for Colo

TO FIGHT THE TOBACCO TRUST.
Plug Manufacturers in League to Re-
sist the Encroachment of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company.


NEW YORK, Sept. Much interest
was manifested in the meeting at the
Holland House to-day of the plug to-
bacco manufacturers. Gathered in the
hotel were the representatives of such
large plug tobacco firms as Pierre
Lorrillard Il Go. and Buchanan & Lyall,
of this city; D. Mayo & Co., of Rich
mond, Va; Sorg & Co., OF Aiddletown,
Ohio; Scotten & Co., of Detroit, Mich. I;
FINER Bros, of Louisville, KY; the
Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co., of st.
Louis, and the Pepper Tobacco Co., of
st. Louis.
The plug tobacco manufacturers are at
present at odds with the American To-
bacco Company, and assert that the
company has encroached on their terri
tory by the manufacture of plug tobacco.
One threat of the plug tobacco manufac-
turers is that they will manufacture
cigarettes and give them away to pur-
chasers of plug tobacco.
The meeting, which was behind closed
doors, lasted two hours. Col. NJ. O.
Wetmore, of the Liggett s Myers Tobacco
Co., Of st. Louis, was president, and the
secretary was J. FL. Drummond, of the
DrummOnd Tobacco Co., of the same
city After the meeting Mr.. Drummond
said that there had been a general dis
cussion at the meeting as to the adyisa-
bility of manufacturing cigarettes and
that the majority of those present were
in favor of the move.
'But," added Mr.. Drummond, "the
manufacturers of cigarettes will engage
in that branch of the business individ-
ually, so that it will be in no sense a
combination or a trust"

Special to the News and Observer.
TARBoRo, N. c., Sept. 4.
This is 'openiDg day" on the Tarboro
tobacco market, and the town is crowded
with visitors. All three of the ware
houses here are filed with tobacco, and
many thousand pounds will be sold to-
day and to morrow. Prices rule high,
and the farmers seem well pleased with
their luck here. The men at the head Of
this movement say that they expect to
establish IN Tarboro tobacco market
second to none in Eastern North Caro-
lima, and all the prospects point to their
complete success. This means a new
era for Tarboro, an era of rapid growth.
And the visitors appreciate Tarboro's
bountiful hospitality.
There were about two hundred thou
sand pounds of tobacco on the market,
prices ranging as high as one dollar
pound, with large number of buyers
on the floor and sales continuing until
night, yet all of the tobacco was not sold.
A game of ball was played this after

DEADLY FUMES IN A PROVI-

Deaths Door.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sept. 4.-Five EN-
ployes of the Providence Gas Co., went
to their death in the cellar of the West
field Street Gas holder about 2 o'clock
this afternoon asphyxiation by gas being
the cause. The names of the dead are:
COTTON, James, ,26 single, Bird street,
RILEY, John, As, married, with six child
rem, Thornton Pike.
MMANUS, John, married, Borden ana
Mary streets
BURNS, Lawrence, 10, single East Provid-
NMAMEE, John, SO, single, Brook street.
The accident was a peculiar one. For
several days leaking gas has been de
tected in the holder and to-day the COM
pany sent six men and foreman to re-
pair the leak, which proved to come
from defective valve connecting the
four inch main, which supplies the
Westfeld street holder with gas from the
main holder on Globe street. The men
had just returned from dinner at l
o'clock and going down the wooden
stairs which led from the entrance of
the holder to the cellar below, began to
work on the broken valve. They
disconnected it and tied cloth
bag about the large main extending in
from the street when the bag gave way
and an immense volume of gas rushed
out. In less time than it takes to tell it,
all were overcome with the exception OF
one, who managed to grope up the stairs
where the fresh air enabled him to re-
cover sufficiently to reach the street.
Immediately after it became known that
the men were there and unable to get out,
willing hands attempted to go to the res
cue. but nothing could be done while the
escaping gas rushed up the stairs. Fore
man Charles Allen did all he could but
there was no cut-eff in the street and he
knew not what way to turn. The police
were quickly on the spot and roped off
Westield street and Medical Examiner
Palmer stood in the doorway to prevent
anybody from going down the stairs.
At the foot of the stairs lay one of the
men who had almost reached the bottom
stair when he was overcome and sank
back with look of anguish on his
countenance. Soon after 8 o'clock the
gas company sent gang of men to dig
up the street and get at the main shut off
further along,it being understood that no
other means of shutting off the gas
could be attained, and even then it
meant two hours work Foreman Allen
took hand in the excavation and was
overcome before the digging had pro-
ceeded far.
He was taken to the Rhode Island
Hospital in the ambulance, which ar
rived short time before. His life is
despaired of.
