Appeal Has Been Argued in State
Supreme Court Of Idaho-De.
eision Soon Expected.

The Idaho supreme court will de-
termine whether Rudolph wetter will

Judge Wallace Scales Of Grangevi1le
presented the case for the defendant.
and Edwin A. Snow, of the state at

case for the state. The attorney for
the defendant seeks a new trial on the
instructions given to the jury by the
lower court and cites also that an Of
fer Of the plea Of insanity was i'm
properly rejected. He also contends
that a continuance Of the case was
improperly refused, which if granted
would have entitled the defendant to

CALLS ON CHURCHES.
New York Reform Clergyman De-
cIares Grafters Must Go.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Dr. Park
hurst, in a statement on the subject
of immortality as revealed by the life
insurance investigation, calls upon
the church to do it's part toward rails
ing the standard of business
methods. He believes the situation
calls for action on the part of the
district attorney and others charged
with the prosecution of criminals to
push the case to the utmost of their
ability.
st am amazed" said DR.. Parkhurst,
"at the candor-no, not the candor-
the brazen effrontery with which the
admissions of Mccall and others were
volunteered during their testimony
before the Armstrong legislative COM
mittee.
1T is shocking to consider that the
conduct of important financial affairs
is surrounded by an atmosphere of
immortality. I don't mean to say NC
Call is alone in this. There are
more behind him. 1t has been 1mpos-
sible for one man to transact such af-
fairs alone.
Not alone is it the duty Of those
charged with the prosecution OF vio-
lation of the laws and Of honesty and
integrity to push these cases, but 1T
is the duty Of the church, irrespective
of creed or denomination, to use them
as texts for sermons tending to raise
the standard of Christian morality. I
intend doing So from my own pulpit"

"REDS" QUIT BOMBS.
Six Hundred Chicago Anarchists De-
generate to Ice Cream Diet.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The anarchists
of Chicago have degenerated from
bomb throwers to eaters Of cream
puffs and ice cream. The belligerent
Lucy Parsons was led to sorrowfully
admit the fact in observing at
meeting of 600 reds last night in
the vicinity Of the scene of the IA
nous anarchist riots in Haymarket
square. The anarchists were mostly
Russian Jews. All of them who were
asked said they were atheists. Some
of them gave that fact as the reason
for choosing the day of atonement,
the most sacred day on the Jewish
calendar, for feasting and dancing,
for all of the anarchists VINO had linn
Der limbs were whirling in the mazes
of the waltz and two-step. Between
dances they patted red ribbons and
rosettes and scowled at ten policemen.
VINO were present to preserve order
and prevent an outbreak.
Lucy Parsons had a big bundle of
COPIES of the Liberator, which she
sold at cents apiece. The dancers
bought literally, but their purchases
did not allay her wrath. She believed
that weird songs of blood and dyna-
mite were more in accord with true
anarchistic demonstration.
Mrs. Parsons fairly gasped when
the dancers sat down to spread of
ice cream, cream puts, pickles and
cake" The tireless agitator had
never seen anarchists initiate attend
onts at church sociables before.

EDITOR DEFIANT.
Illinois Man, Long a Reformer, Was
Forced Out by Liquor Dealers.

SPRING VALLEY, Ill, Oct. 16.-Tne
stormy career of Ike Heller, publisher
and editor of the Spring Valley Press,
weekly paper, ended last week,
when he stepped down and out after
hurting defiance in farewell edito-
rial bristling with vituperation In
which he said:
If there was ever a happy moment
in our life that is when we come to
the end Of our nights work In Spring
Valley. Friends, the best we ever
had, we have in Spring Valley; enc
mics, the bitterest we ever had, we
have in Spring Valley. but it is q
pleasure to know that when our labors
on earth are ended we will spend out
eternity with friends in heaven, while
our enemies will be taking enforced
sudphuric baths in hell"
For ten years Heller has been en-
gagged in the reform business in this
city, and every week deluged his enc
mics with the most vindictive Eng
lish contained in the vocabulary. His
pet aversion was the Sunday saloon,
and his fight against the saloonkeep-
ers cost them many hundreds OF
dollars. Then came combination of
the saloon men and brewers, and they
paid the editor three prices for his
printing plant to let up On them and
leave town. The new editor and BUSH
ness manager is john r. Thomas, a
local politician and manager OF one or
the brewing companies.

CONDEMNS FRENCH SOCIETY
Startling Announcement Made Against
Winnipeg Social Club.

WINNIPEG, Man, Oct. 16.-The
most serious punishment of the Rom
an Catholic church may be visited on
the Cercle la Verandrye, French So
cial club, which refuses the dictation
of the parish priest.
Il nave tolerated the Cercle la Yer
andrye; 1 now condemn it,
These were the startling words that
fell from the lips of Rev. F. Porte
lance, parish priest of the Church of
the Sacred Heart, yesterday after
noon.
When Father Portelance undertook
to establish the church, he called upon
members of the Circle la Verandrye,
as we'll as upon all French Canadian
youths, to help in the work. The club
refused to place itself under the guild
ance of the chaplain.
In referring to INSTRUMENTATION of
the club, Father Portelance said he
was greatly grieved at the incident;
that he had left a good parish in Of
tawa, where all was harmony, to come
and devote himself to work mere, and
he had found the Cercle la Verandrye
was Systematically opposed to him.
He recalled the famous case Of Gut
bord and of the Institute Canadian, a
Montreal literary institution COM
posed of young French Canadians who
had to be accommodated because
they would not conform to the rules
Of the church.

DEATH WINS RACE.
Woman Victim of Rabies Dies in Sons
Arms.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE story Of a
vain flight across two states to Chi
cago to save the life of Mrs. Johanna
Gessen of Fox, Wis, was told at the
inquest today. For almost twenty
hours Frederic Arndt, son-in-law Of
Mrs. Gossen, held her in his arms on
a wagon On station platforms and on
trains, in a desperate effort to get her
to the Pasteur institute in Chicago.
only to find ner dead in his arms
when leaving the train.
Mrs. Gossen who was SO years old.
was bitten on the face by pet dog
last August. The wounds were eau
terized and she seemed to suffer no III
effects. Last Thursday she felt weak
but did not become i'll until Friday
morning wnen doctor was called. He
recommended that she be taken at
once to a Pasteur institute. '
The daughter and son-in-law at
once began the long trip by driving
from Fox to Amigo, a distance OF
twelve miles. There they awaited un-
til 1 o'clock today for train. Leav-
ing there Chicago was reached short
ly after noon.
AS Arndt was carrying Mrs. Gossen
through the station to cab, he re-
allied that she was dead. He said
nothing to his wife and they drove to
the institution, where a doctor pro-
nounced the woman dead.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS BEING
MADE AT LITTLE TOWN
NEAR WALLA WAIIA,
Resident Of the Place Talks In an
Optimistic Way-New School
House Needed.
pecial to Evening Statesman:


COLLEGE PLACE, Oct. 16.-One
who for several years has closely
identified his interests with the growth
of the charming village west Of Wal
la Walla, expressed himself to the
Evening Statesman correspondent
| that a brilliant future was in store
| for the village.
college Place is now in q position
to grow as never before" he said.
When questioned as to the reasons for
his hopes, he cited the following cir
cumstances:
you see, that the new Presbyterian
church going up in our midst is a
mark of progress. People who desire
that their children shall have the ben
eft of our educational facilities, will
be further encouraged by the oppor-
tunity for religious development which
the two prominent denominations of
the village will in the future afford.
At first the college was the only
7rawing feature. Then was COM
| pIeted the excellent public school
which has grown up in the past three
years. But people not of the Adventist
faith always felt the need Of church
privileges, and now that need is to
be met by the erection of the new
church edifice costing $4,000.
Then too, everyone here acknowl-
edges that new school house must
be erected to accommodate the in
district will probably be increased by
the addition Of more territory before
garding that, a four-room structure
with an assembly room must be erect
ed We now have four teachers
teaching in three rooms, and that
condition calls for more room. When
it is built the public spirited people
will erect a building that will be the
pride of the district.
"The macadamized road is not dead.
1t will come in some way. It now
comes too near us not to come on.
We will not give up till it passes
through the village to the south. Then
Walla Walla will take it back past
the fair grounds and a boulevard
will be established and both the city
and village will be mutually benefited.
"Now to these things you may add
the effect of a street-car service which
| is assured"
Here the correspondent asked what
he thought of the report that the car
| line was to pass quite to the west Of
the village. 90, that is just talk. If
| the line comes, it is out for business.
| it would be suicidal to the company's
| interests to pass So far away as to
inconvenience so large a patronage
as the village will afford.
"These are my principal reasons
OF course, there are also minor rea-
sons. But time will show that I pre-
dict right. College Place is passing
from a village to a city,"

who are responsible for the laws of
the state, toavail themselves of every
opportunity offered for seeing this
question in its proper light. Surely
narrow prejudice nor a dislike of
changing old opinions should not keep
one from thoroughly Investigating
so important a matter. If capital
punishment is wrong then what
better than a murderer is every man
who votes for 1t? II it Is not wrong,
from whence comes this terrible
shocked feeling to every right minded
person upon reading of the dreadful
tragedy which took place at Windsor
last Friday when an ignorant, erring

her brother men? Surely it is the
duty of every citizen of this state to
look we'll into this matter. Mr..

this subject and it would be we'll

Hanging is an inheritance from
barbarism, nothing more and nothing
less. However, it is still law, just the
same, and for that matter no worse for
one sex than the other"
1t is indeed an inheritance from bar
barism, and just for moment please re-

men were the makers of that law and
at the same time barred all men from
