DID laps KILL EMERSON
One Correspondents Theory Of
His Colleagues Death

Seattle, WASH, June 22.-The facts
leading to the shooting Of Colonel
Edward Emerson, ir, war CORE
spondent Of the New York World, In
the Far East, are related by R. L.
Dunn, correspondent in Korea for an
American weekly magazine. Mr..
Dunn, who landed here yesterday,
made this statement after hearing
that Colonel Emerson was dead:
Colonel Emerson, as a military
man, was we'll aware Of the position
occupied by japanese soldiers. Some
time ago he made the announcement
that he intended to 60 through the
Russian lines and work from that
vantage point. When it came to the
ears OF the Japanese military author
tiles that Colonel Emerson intended
to take this step an officer approach
cd another representative OF Elmer
sons paper and informed him that
II he took such a step the government
could scarcely be further responsible
for his safety.
Contemplated move similar to
that outlined by Emerson, but the
Japanese made It clear to me that 1t
would not be wise for me to proceed.
Emerson had papers which would
have carried him through the Rus
sian line in safety. In view Of these
facts, am inclined to think the real
story Of his death has not been learn

Mr.. Dunn seems to give the impress
sion that the Japanese may have
been responsible for the killing Of
Colonel Emerson. He was on his
way to Port Arthur when shot by
Chinese who said they believed he
was q pirate. The Chinese have never
been found.

The Reclamation Fund.

Russia, the IRON handed nation
has a settlers fund by which it
aids people to establish homes on
the Steps of Asia, loaning them
money to build houses and pur-
chase farm implements, and re.
quiring them to repay the money
in annual installments, after they
get to farming. Uncle Sam has
a law which is for the purpose
Of establishing irrigation systems
on the arid lands. The moneys
derived from the sale of public
lands goes into what is called the
Reclamation fund to be used for
carrying on the work of reclama
ton, and as it is paid back by the
settlers it returns to this fund to
be used again. The law was
enacted two years ago, and the
fund has been growing steadily.
New canals for watering arid belts
bring land into market and add to
the Reclamation fund, making it
greater as the work goes on.
There are now twenty-five mil
lions in the fund, and it is the
privilege of our people to get up
some practical plans for watering
some of our desert wastes to
make them productive of crops
and commerce for our good.

Bingham Democrats Deny Sen.

The Bingham county democrat
ic convention, held at Shelly last
Saturday, was completely domi-

and the senator met with a Water

his supporters who were candi-

A friend of yours who was re-
turning from the Worlds Fair a
few weeks ago heard man say on
the train, "My-father lived in the
Sacramento valley, when he was
young, and that was his opportun-
ity. He got a large tract of land
which was considered practically
worthless then, and he held to it.

ago | visited the Snake river val
ley, and rode over the lands from
Blackfoot nearly to Idaho Falls,

holding it until / got sick at heart

in time to see the purchaser make
the money. But it is not too late
to take hold again. ! see great
future for that valley, and there
are multitude of investments
which man can make now which
are sure to bring good returns.
Men who own land on Lost river
have reached the place that this
man reached when he sold out.

the western farmer as is now be-

Companies Enabled to Garry

Work of Twelve Years shows Tangible

to Be Superseded BY Luscious Fruits.

Ten years ago the two big canal
companies Of the West side, the
Peoples Canal and the one being
projected by the American Falls
Canal and Power Company, had
a serious problem confronting
them in the matter of rights of
way, the survey leading along the
same slopes where they should be
built on the same grade or level,
and crossing each other at inter.
walls. 1t was thought by many
that both canals would never be
completed, but time, diplomacy
and perseverance have enabled
both companies to complete their
work and put the water where
they wanted to. A large siphon
has just been completed, 5x10x1O0
feet, which carries the water of the
Peoples Canal under the other
where the two canals are on the
same level, and the American
Power people are having "dltch-
wettlng' away down the line to
TiIden. These companies are to
be congratulated on the successful
outcome of this long and tedious
work; work that was fraught with
difficulties legal, and difficulties
financial; obstacles that were ma.
terial, and obstacles that were the
product of the ''knocker y The
products of that side of the river
will soon be in evidence at our
fairs to open the wondering eyes
of visitors who do not realize that

shelter in storm and where the

body in the burning sun of sum

sweet potatoes, melons, celery and
a multitude of other tender fruits
and vegetables will be raised for
the markets of BIackfoot, Poca-
tello and Mackay, and that in less
time than they suppose, a trolley
line will be operating through
that belt to carry passengers and

EFFECT OF THE WAR

Local Bakers Say Size of Loaves

Time, at Least.

The poor of Indianapolis may congrat-

by any bakers association such exists

tofore, they will be charged but five cents
for loaf of bread. The local dealers say
that in no way will the war in the far
East the late advance in wheat lift the
price to six cents. The conditions in Chi
cago differ greatly from those here. The
city ordinance of Chicago insists that every
loaf of bread shall weigh at least sixteen
ounces. therefore, when wages are high and
the situation demands some change, they
must resort to a raise in prices.
On the other hand the local dealers, in
stead of increasing the price, can decrease
the weight Even this they have not done
yet as the average weight of a loaf is sew
enteen ounces the same three months
ago. 1t may possibly come about that
some of the small dealers will have to les
sen the weight. but the large dealers can

DROWNED IN A QUAGMIRE
Excavation, Filled by Rains, Al

HAULED OUT WITH ROPE

To be drowned in mud, strange fate for
man or beast, was the mishap that almost
overlook one of a team of horses attached
to delivery wagon of the Bryce Baking
Company, on East Washington street yes
terday morning near "Lombardy," the res
idence of John T. Brush, and about two
squares east of the Belt railroad.
The sewer excavation at that point has
been partially filled with loose earth, frozen
hard and used as a roadway since early in
winter but the heavy rain had turned it
to a mass of soft mud several feet deep.
Into this Fmery Sinks, driver of the
wagon, had allowed his horses to sink be-
fore he realized the danger. Once in the
mud the houndering horses sank deeper.
One of the horses eXtricated itself and
crawled out of danger but the other sank
until it was buried in mud up TO its head.
This was before 5 o'clock in the morning,
and the horse remained imprisoned in the
mud until 7:35 o'clock. Then ii was rescued
by means of block and tackle slung to a
nearby telephone post. The wagon was
hauled out of the mud by street car.
William Bossert, the sewer contractor
was early informed of the streets condi-
ton by the city engineers office. and he
took immediate steps to keep other drivers
from getting their teams into a similar
predicament.

RELATIVES CLAIMING 1T

The s105 found the person of Mrs.
John Schowe. who was drowned in the
White river during the recent floods. is
causing considerable action on the part OF
the near relatives of the woman and her
husband. Yesterday two claims were filed
in the Probate Court for the amount. sis
ter and a stepson of John Schowe both ask
that the amount, after the funeral expenses
are paid, be given TO them.
Mrs. Jacob Smith, the sister, substan-
tiates her claim to the money on the
grounds that she was the nearest relative
to the last legal possessor since it is be-
lieved that Mrs. Schowe was the first to
die, leaving all the estate to the husband.
On the other hand ii is claimed that the
money was found in the possession of Mrs.
Schowe and that she was the last owner OF
the money.
Coroner Tutewiler says that there are a
number Of claims being presented 10 him as
heirs to the estate and that he is in doubt
to it's disposition. Yesterday he appealed
to Judge Walker, of the Probate Court, and
was informed TO keep the money until an
administrator was appointed for the estate.

been paid it is believed that there will be

opinion that the original plan should be

the third week in April. as usual.
Representative James z. Watson OF Rush

as the permanent chairman of the conven-
ton. State Chairman James p. Goodrich
will probably call the convention to order
and act as temporary chairman. To Mr.
Watson will fall the responsibility and
honor of sounding the keynote for the cam
paign In Indiana.

HIS TEACHER IS BLAMED

Paul Merrill, the Shortridge High School
student. who refused To sit with colored
girl, will end the ENHANCEMENT which his
action caused by returning to school on
next Monday.
After the refusal of the authorities to al
low him TO re-enter unless he took the seat
assigned him. with a colored girl. his par
ents placed his case in the hands Of Attor-
ney Caleb S. Denny. In an interview last
night with Superintendent Kendall Mr..
Denny denied that the boy could not enter
school until he had made an open apology.
Merrill will re-enter the school backed by
the students and their parents, and he will.
in all probability. be allowed TO remain.
The real cause of all the trouble seems 10
have been the words of Miss Donnan, the
teacher, who, it is claimed, told him that
'he was not better. in fact. not as good,
as the person he was asked TO sit with. Ii
is said the school authorities are seemingly
anxious to have the question decided with
as little publicity as possible.

EXPECT DECISION IN
EXPRESS COMPANY SUIT
Supreme Courts Finding Will,Not
Be Long Delayed on Famous
Litigation.

1t is probable that the decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the case
of the American Express Company against
the State of Indiana will be rendered with
in the next fortnight.
Assistant Attorney General Cassius c.
Hadley, who presented arguments for the
State before the court Feb. 25. said last
night that the decision would be made
within sixty days.
Inasmuch the points in the case have
been covered in the briefs of previous ap-
pealed actions, il is not believed that the
Supreme Court will have difficulty in arriv-
ing at a decision.
The case grows out of suit filed to
enjoin a former state auditor from collect
ing the mileage tax" against the defend
ant company.
