l. c. HAL ABAUGH INDICTED
AN IDAHO MAN CHARGED
WITH ENCOURAGEMENT.
Was Treasurer of Latah County and
Deposited Public Funds In His
Own Bank, Which Failed.
Especial to The Heraid.)

Boise, Ida, Nov 22.-The grand jury
at Moscow has indicted eX-County
Treasurer l. c.. Haltabaugh, one of the
most prominent men of the state, for
embezzlement of county and state
money. The indictment was much of
a surprise, as the alleged embezzlement
developed upon the failure of Halta-
baugh's bank nearly three years ago.
Haltabaugh was treasurer of Latah
county for the years 1893 and 1894 and
at the same time president of the Com
mercial bank, in which the county
funds were kept. In January, 1895, he
was succeeded by John Gilstrap. Mr..
Gilstrap, as he could not secure the
large bond required in any other quar-
ter made an arrangement or contract
with the Commercial and Moscow Ma
tional banks, in accordance with VIII h
the county funds were to be deposited
in the two banks, provided they went
on his bond.
Mr.. Haltabaugh, before turning over
the funds to Gilstrap. deposited the
county's proportion of the state tax,
S17,599.95, in the Commercial bank to
the credit of the state. An unexpected
demand for this on the part of the
state resulted in the banks closing.
at this time Gilstrap had $12 1868 of
the countys funds on deposit in the
bank under the agreement.

Colorado's Congressman Forecasts
LEGISLATION This Winter.


Denver, Nov. 22-Congressman John
c. Bell of Colorado stopped off a few
hours in this city on his way to Wash
ington. where he goes to attend
meeting of the appropriations commit
tee.
Speaking of the probable action of
congress at it's coming session on the
financial question, he said:
II think a bill will pass the house
practically recommended by the execu-
tive. and it will then go to the senate,
where it will be abandoned by that
body, and an appeal viii be made TO
the people that they must make the
senate Republican before any remedial
legislation can be obtained"
With reference to the admission of
new western states, Congressman Bell
said:
There will be no more western states
admitted into the Union while the Re
publican party has control of either
house. The speaker told me last year
that he felt great responsibility for
having taken an active part in admit
ting of the western states. He said the
power of the western senator was IN
lust ard had been greatly abused and
was. in fact, checking the development
of the country; that he thought 1T was
a grievous wrong for the western sena-
tors to stand in the way of the progress
of the country. Many senators will
probably oppose the admission of those
territories because Of this impression.

efforts to turn away from the tribal

The discovery of many children of
very little, if any, Indian blood in the
boarding schools leads to the recon-
mendation that inasmuch as there
seems to be no remedy under existing
laws, it is imperative in the interest
of justice to both races that congress
should early Indicate by statute what
degree of blood shall constitute an In
dian and to what extent adopted In
dams shall be entitled to governmental
support in matters of education.
In the superintendent reference to
the Indians as agriculturalists the
opinion is given that in the study of
agriculture an excessive acreage of
land is a hindranee rather than a help
from an educational standpoint.

Senator Burrows Predicts a Pro-

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Bur-
rows of Michigan expressed the opin-
ion that there will be protracted dis
cussion of the currency question in the
approaching session of congress and
that in all probability congress will be
in session until August.
I'm addition to the routine before
congress, appropriations, etc. he said,
the Hawaiian question will be dis
posed of and consideration will be
given to the currency question, immi-
grafton and a few other things. AS to
the Cuban question, the situation is
very peculiar. There appears to be a
great deal of confusion with relation
to the adoption OF a new policy with
Spain and I do not think that congress
ought to act until an opportunity has
been had to determine what will result
from Blanco's undertaking.
Il think he added, that the most
perplexing thing that confronts us is
how to handle the currency question.
1t is obvious that this question is go

is equally obvious that it will lead to
a protracted debate. l am very I'M

Reports About Revival of Treaty
Vaccinations Erroneous.

Washington, Nov. PIT is stated
from an authoritative source that no
negotiations have recently occurred
between Secretary Sherman and Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador, concerning a new arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain; that no exchange of
notes has occurred between Mr.. Sher-
man and Lord Salisbury on this sub
ject, and that Sir Julian has not spoken
of the matter since he returned to
Washington. some weeks ago from Lon
don.
According to an official source fully
conversant Of all negotiations of this
character, the little that has been done
is far short of completion.
When the ambassador RECEIVERS from
his present attack of rheumatism,
which confines him to his room, he
probably will discuss the matter with
Mr.. Sherman. This might lead to
opening official negotiations between
the two governments, but the outlook
is against any steps whatever toward

OLIVER ZANE DISCHARGED.
COMPLAINING WITNESS WITH
DREW FORGERY CHARGE.
Proceedings Brought to Close
Thought That the Amount Was
Made Good by Friends.
tspeclal to The Hera1dN

Victor, Colo, Nov. 22-The prelim-
mary trial Of Oliver W. Zane, charged
with forgery was to have taken place
here today. The proceedings were
brought to a close, however, by the
withdrawal of the charge by the COM
planning witness, Arthur Scholtze. The
charge against Zane was that he had
disposed of a check on the Bimetallic
Bank of Cripple Creek for $4S. so, signed
with the name of G. NJ Baird, a
butcher of this town. When Scholtze
forwarded it to the bank, it was sent
back to him as a forgery. He then
made complaint against Zane, and the
latter's arrest followed.
The withdrawal of the charge is
thought to be due to Zane's friends
making good the loss. Zane was
formerly of Salt Lake City. He is
now with the Bare Hill Townsite COM
pany, and is said to hold considerable
property in the town of Bare Hill.

McKinlev Defines Removal

Washington, Nov. 22.-President Nc
Kinley holds that his amendment of
July q to rule 2 of the civil service
rules applies to reductions of ratings
as we'll as to removals from the SER
vice. The announcement is of interest
for the reason that the rule had been
differently interpreted by public Off
Gals. Some have interpreted the words
removal to mean removal from the
service, while others believe it means
a change of rating or the removal from
one grade to another in the classified
service.
