Boise, Jan. 13.-The house this
morning adopted this concurrent reso-
luton
Resolved, That we, the members OF
the Eighth Idaho legislature, now in
session, regardless OF political belief or
religious creed, denounce the state
ments az reported in the press of ex-
Governor w. j. Mcconnell before the
senate investigating committee reflect
ing on morals OF the Idaho legislature
as unjust, uncalledfor and untrue; and
further
Resolved, That copy of this reso-
luton be wired to the chairman of the
said privileges and elections committee
at Washington, ID. c."
The senate tabled the resolution, but
an effort will be made to get il NJ
Monday. The resolution is based on
the published report that Mcconnell
said that Idaho Legislators were poker
players.
The judiciary committee of the house
submitted an adverse report upon Aul-
baeh's resolution to declare the seat OF
Representative Anderson vacant. The
report was adopted and Anderson re-
tains his seat.
A bill was introduced in the house

Boise, Jan. l0.-The senate finance
committee today presented what is
known rs the administration depository
bill, and which will be pitted against
the Richards depository bill, intro
duced several days ago in the house.
The two measures win likely provoke
heated debate. The Richards measure
places control in the hands of the state
treasurer, while the senate bill places
II largely in the hands of a state board
and, its supporters claim, is far more
comprehensive measure and provides
the most satisfactory means of handling
the state funds.
The new bill provides that any bank
offering security, either in the form Of
collateral, personal bonds or surety
company bond, shall become deposit
tory and shall pay rate of interest
not less than ? per cent on daily bal
ances, this rate to be fixed by the gov
ernor, attorney general and secretary
of state. Money shall be deposited
without discrimination in proportion TO
the amount of security offered. The
permanent school funds are excepted
from the operation of this act. This
measure il oise OF the important ones
to come befoxe the legislature.
A conclusion has not been reached by
the caucus committe named TO prepare

RURNHAM'S PROTEST

Manager Burnham, of the Newark
baseball team, still thinks his claim for
the two games forfeited by Providence
last Thursday will not only be consider
ed. but favorably acted upon by the
board of directors of the Eastern League.
President Powers has not intinlated when
he will call meeting of the board, but
a session will take place sooner or later.
The members Of the board ;lre NJ B.
Iuder president Of the Newark club
Howard c. Griffiths, former president of
the Jersey City club; Mana ger George I.
Stallings. Of Buffalo, and Nea Hanlon.
one of the principal stockholders of the
Baltimore Club. AS Puder is connected
with the Newark club. which is fighting
for the case, he will probably not sit,
and the board to decide the question will
probably consist of the other three.
Manager Burnham declares he first
made arrangements for transferring the
date of the Baltimore game from August
10 to September 8 on July s, and notified
President Powers to that effe,tt. Since
then he has been careful in following all
details to make the change legal Presi-
dent Powers AYERS he never gave the
Newark Club permission to change the
date Of the game. nor did he order Prov
idence to play here on the date in ques-
ton, but the kilograms held by Manager
Burnham show the Eastern League pres
ident to be wrong in this statement.

of several great associated banking FIRMS

come personally acquainted with lis

Final Game of the Series
Forfeited to News Team
by Nom Appearance.
HOFFMAN'S YELLOW STREAK
INsTRUcTs HIs PLAYERS THAT
GAME IS OFF RATHER THAN
MEET THE NEWS TEAM.

The final bali game for the printing
house championship of Greater New
York and vicinity. which was to have
been decided last Saturday in this city,
went to the Jersey City News team by
forfeit. as the Burr Printers failed to
put in an appearance. As has already
been stated, the series stood one and
one. the News team losing the first
game by the rank umpiring of Mr.. Nc
Gregor, representative of the opposing
team. The second game which was de-
cided at Ridgewood, proved to be mere
canter for the locals. who won out by
a score of s to Z. The final meeting
was scheduled for last Saturday and
was to be decided in this city, but, as
stated above. the Burr team did not
materialize and the locals were obliged
to claim the game by forfeit much to
their disappointment, as Captain Nc
Dewitt felt that it would require but a
trifie more energy to win the game had
the opposing team gone on the diamond.
Aside from the disappointment to the
local nine, about $500 spectators We're
obliged to look elsewhere for an exhibit
tion. and the numerous remarks that
We're passed when the game was official
ly declared forfeited were anything but
complimentary to the boys who represent
the Burr House. It was about two
o'clock when Captain McDevitt became
suspicious, and he Immediately set the
telephone and telegraph wires TO work
in ascertaining the cause of the action
of Manager Hurley's outfit, only to be
put eff by each one to whom he was re-
ferred with some absurd excuse. until
finally Manager Hurley was connected
With and he expressed surprise that the
boys were not in line for the contest.
and as to the cause he could not reply.
Not satisfied with what appeared a him-
sy excuse, Capt. McDevitt set out to
get more definite and satisfactory
cause. and was rewarded late Saturday
evening when he came into possession
of the information that Captain Hoff-
man had instructed the Burr House
and naturally the boys thought he ought
to know. When Manager Hurley was
apprised of the fact he called Hoffman
to account, and to his great surprise and
disgust learned that Hoffman looked
upon the trip as a disastrous one, and
felt that there was more glory in losing
by forfeit than by meeting defeat
sGuarely, which he acknowledged would
surely result.
Manager Hurley at once deposed
Hoffman for his lack of sportsmanship
and has been profuse in his apologies for
the affair.
Captain McDevitt will try to have a
new date set and play the game off. as
he and his fast team do not like vie
tories that are acquired in this fashion.
Those holding tickets for the forfeited
game will be admitted to the next con-
test by presenting same at the gate.
