STATE AUDITOR WANTS THE
COUNTIES TO SQUARE ACCOUNTS
State Auditor Turner Wants Settlement With
Delinquent County Treasures to
Correct Discrepancies

ture III connection with the work is the
failure of former treasurers to keep a
correct account of the moneys they re-
ceiyed for licenses and the sums paid
by them to the state.
Mr.. Turner is making a thorough in
vestigation of every discrepancy on
record and should it be found that any
treasurer has neglected to remit the
full percentage due the state from the
sale of licenses settlement will be de-
treasurer has RENTED more than he
should the amount will be refunded.
Mr.. Turner's purpose is to bring all
accounts between the state and the
various counties up to date and keep
them there. BY this means the work
of the county officers will be simplified
and the books of the state auditor
cleared of superfluous items.
Should Mr.. Turner succeed in COL
lecting the full amount due the state
from. the sale of licenses by county
treasurers. and he Is confident OF be-
ing able to do so. the state treasury
will be enriched by a considerable sum.
AS the statute of limitations does not
apply to the state Mr.. Turner does not
anticipate any difficulty in making COL
lections where it is shown that the
county treasurers,t through neglect or
otherwise, have failed to remit the
amounts due the state.

State Auditor Turner is determined
that the county treasurers shall
straighten up their license accounts
According to the records in the audi
tors office some of the treasurers have
been negligent in this respect and there
is due the state several thousand dol
lars, covering delinquencies for Il num-
Der of years says the Statesman.
Last year the treasurers of but three
counties. those of Ada, Elmore and
Washington, submitted accounts which
balanced to the cent and Mr.. Turner
has prepared complimentary letter
70 each of the three careful treasurers
thanking them for their neat work.
The treasurers of Canyon. Custer.
Latah and Kootenai counties have not
yet returned their unused licenses.
The Lemhi. Lincoln, Nez Perez and
Shoshone treasurers have turned in too
much money. probably RENTING sums
early in the year which should have
been credited to the previous year.
All other county treasurers are be-
hind and Mr.. Turner intends to refresh
their memories,
The discrepancies are for the most
part due to careless bookkeeping and
an apparent lack of knowledge as to
the correct methods Of procedure. Mr.
Turner has drawn up carefully item
lied accounts for each treasurer to
check against and by referring to these
acc0unts the county officers should
hGve little trouble in correcting their
books.

Latter's Treaty With Thibet Is
Not Satisfactory to the
Slav Government
SAYS ENGLAND BROKE PROMISE
Russia Serves Notice That She Does
Not Acquesce In The British Pro.
gram In Thibet and Will Take The
Matter Up Whom the Eastern War
is Over.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 2O.-Russia
officially maintains Great Britain has
broken faith in the matter. of the Thi-
betan treaty and Ambassador Benken-
dorf has been instructed to lodge a
general protest at the British foreign
Office. The chief Importance of the
protest at this time is to serve notice
that Russia does not acquiesce in
Great Britain's Thibetan program and
she will feel herself at liberty to re-
open the question when her hands are
again free.
With the arrival here of the full text
of the British treaty with Thibet irri-
tation of the Russian press at it's
sweeping character is more pronounc-
ed. Russ, which is now considered es-
pecially to reflect the views of the for
eign office, bitterly complains that
Great Britain has gone beyond her
promises concerning the expedition. by
acquiring virtual protectorate over
Thibet, whereas she had pledged her.
self to merely regulate trade relations
between India and Thibet.
Instead the paper declares, Great
Britain has imposed upon Thibet oner-
Gus terms which gives her a monopo-
ly, forbidding Thibet without Great
Britain's consent, to enter into rela-
tions with the outside world. The sem
sational articles in the British press
about the alleged Russo-G German se-s
cret understanding regarding the far
east have not attracted much atten-
ton here. While feeling exists that
Germany is displaying friendly spirit
it is denied in responsible quarters
that she has oNerstepped the bounds
of neutrality in any particular. Exis-
tence OF a secret treaty between Rus
sia and Germany is attributed here
to the memory of the part which Ger
many. with France and Russia, play
ed in compelling Japan to abandon the
Shimonosek treaty concluded be-
tween Japan and China as a result OF
the war between these two countries
ten years ago. Novoe Vremya, in a
sarcastic editorial, expresses surprise
at the fact that the British newspaper
correspondents have been so slow in
discovering that Germany is helping
Russia.

CRANK AT SYCAMORE
He Wanted to See the President as He
Had Message From Heaven For
RooseveIt-is Arrested by Officers
and is Probably Insane.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 20-A man who is
regarded by secret service officers and
authorities of Oyster Bay as a dam
gerous crank was apprehended here
about noon today. He is j. E. Reeves,
medium sized, roughly attired man,
aged about forty. He was making his
way to Sycamore Hill when arrested.
He told the officer who apprehended
him that he wanted to see the president
on important business.
Justice Franklin, after examination,
being convinced the man is insane and
very likely dangerous, deputizea a se-
cret service man to take him to Min
ola, where a formal inquiry into his
mental condition will be held.
Reeves told the justice that six years
ago he died in a Jersey City hospital
and wnt to Heaven in an automobile.
While there he received important
messages for Roosevelt which he was
directed to deliver personally. He re-
fused to say what the nature of the
message was, as he declared he could
communicate it to nobody but the pres
ident. He declared to the Justice, how
ever that he had written book on his
experience in heaven, which he desired
to have published, as he was satisfied
millions could be made out fit. The
president undoubtedly would Join with
him In securing publication of the work
and that was one reason why he wish
ed to have a talk with him. Reeves
talked as if he had enjoyed some edu-,
cational advantages and said he was a
resident Of Baltimore.
He arrived here today from Hemp
stead, in his pockets two dollars in
cash and some unimportant papers, but
no weapons.

ger boys, Merrill declared he pressed
the rifle against the abdomen and fired.
Then the three boys ran to the boat
and rowed over to Omaha.
The three boys all agree In their
version Of the shooting, that it was en-
tirely accidental. They claim that
they had come across the the river in a
boat to shoot frogs and that they pre-
viously did not know Of the existence
Of Merrill or his melon patch. Accord
ing to their, story, Merrill crept up on
them with a. club and ordered them to
get into their boat in a hurry, at the
same time poking Willie Brocker in the
ribs with his club as the lad started
toward the river.
1t Is claimed by the boys that they
had proceeded but short distance to-
ward their boat when Merrill seized
Willie Brocker and attempted to take
his rifle, which was a short barreled
22-caliber weapon. Brocker endeavor-
ed to keep his gun and in the struggle
the rifle was some how accidentally
discharged The bullet entered the
right side of Merrills abdomen and the
powder burns about show that the
shooting must have been done at close
range.

conclude that the moment for the i'll

MIXTURE WAS TO MUCH
Rev. A. r. Hunt, Southern Preacher Of
Church Of Christ, Refuses to Accept
Call to Red Oak Church Because
Blacks Attend School With White
ChnFdren.

special to mes-Republican.
Red Oak, Sept. 20.-Because colored
children attend the public schools of
Red Oak, and are thus thrown in con-
tact with the little ones of white skins
the Church of Christ of this city is to
lose Rev. A. r. Hunt, who was recent
ly called by the congregation of the
church here to the pastorate.
Rev. Mr.. Hunt is a southerner. His
most recent charge was at Savannah,
Mo-. and from there he was called to
the Red Oak pulpit at a salary of ST.
200 a year. The call was accepted and
preparations were made to receive the
new minister. In the meantime Mr..
Hunt began to investigate the condi-
tign of affairs and methods of living in
the Iowa town. To his evident horror
he found that there were no special
schools for the black children but that
they were educated in the same schools
as the whites. That was too much for
the reverend southerner and he dis
patched the following letter to MEM
ber of the Church of Christ here:
Dear Brother We cannot allow
our children to go to school where
negroes attend. Hence when I learn
that such was the case in Red Oak 1
could not go there. Kindly, A. K.
Hunt
That a follower of the Savior and a
teacher OF christianity and brotherly
love should thus draw the color line, IS
a surprise and matter of much COM
ment to the members of the church
here and the people Of Red Oak in gen.
eral. AS Mr.. Hunts letter seems final
the congregation will undoubtedly at
once cast about for another pastor.

GUARD POOR Lo
Government Issues Stringent Order 10
Protect the Interests of Indians Who
Sell Their Land From Fraud and
Robbery.

washington, Sept 2o.--one of the
most drastic orders ever issued by the
government for the protection of the
several Indian tribes against fraud and
robbery was promulgated today by
Acting Secretary Of the Interior Ryan.
The order in question amends the rules
for sale of inherited Indian lands so
as to require that the proceeds to be
derived from the sale snail be placed
with the most convenient United States
depository to the credit of each heir
in proper proportion. Heretofore the
lands have been sold to the highest
bidder. and the proceeds paid directly
to the Indians, with the result in many
instances that the Indians soon were
divested Of their money.
