Not What the Lawyers Wanted.

Lawyers have some queer expert
ences, said the judge. cone Of them
was telling of case heard before me.
A young man ha been arrested for
larceny and he sent for this lawyer,
"The young fellow told the attorney
that he was innocent, but that he had
no friends in the city and no money.
His mother, however, was in fair cir
eumstanees and he knew that she would
help him. What he wanted the lawyer
to do was TO defend him aud also send
a telegram TO his mother telling her his
fix and asking for aid. The lawyer
agreed to this and made such a good
defense that the young man was ac-
quilted.
"He and the attorney went direct to
the telegraph offiee TO which the mes
sage had been ordered sent and found
it. The young man was so grateful to
the lawyer that he handed him the un-
opened envelope, telling him that he
must take all the money that his mother
had telegraphed him. The lawyer tore
open the yellow cover and his eyes
were greeted with these words; "Put
your trust in God. am praying for
you. MOTHER"

a fact, papers on file in the depars-
ment were abstracted by the attorneys
and although repeated efforts were
made to cause the return Of the papers
to the files Of the department, they
were never returned. This is probably
the most fagrant and notorious vioIs-
tion Of the law that has occurred i'm
recent years, and yet Secretary Hitch
cock deliberately permitted the statute
of limitations to run against the prose.
cution of the guilty parties and il Is
now too late to institute suit 20 va
cate the patent. This was a case where
millions Of dollars were involved, and
where there was no question about the
fraud, and yet no honest effort wss
made to prosecute the culprits.
1t is alleged that the secretary has
indulged in the grossest favoritism i'm
Indian matters. Several years ago VII
liam M. Springer, congressman from
Illinois, obtained contract from th0
government for an amount aggregating
$5,000,000. In order to valididate the
contract IL was necessary TO secure ther
approval Of the secretary Of the i'm
terror. Secretary Hitchcock not only
refused to approve the contract but
directed Chief Burlington Of the Chorc-'
kee nation, to cancel the contract with
Mr.. Springer.
Later on n similar contract was en-
tered into between the Cherokee HnA-
dams and Charles Nable, brothcr-fn,-
law Of Secretary Hitchcock and req
ident Of st. Louis, and Mr.. Smith
Of vinita, 1. T. When this contract.
came before the department for APP
proval Secretary Hitchcock sent IL to-
Judge Willis J. Vandevanter, then as-
sistant attorney general for theinteriOr
department and now judge Of the
Eighth circuit bench. Judge VandovaI-
ter declined to recommend the approval
Of the contract, assigning as his rca-
son that when he came into the Office
Secretary Hitchcock instructed him to-
recommend the approval Of no eoutracks'
Of that nature, no matter how great the
political pressure nor how meritoriOus
the contract. But notwithstanding
Judge vandevanter adverse recon-
mendation, Secretary Hitchcock APP
proved the contract and the attorneys.
are now endoavorlng TO collect the.
claim under IL.
II is said that these matters win bc'
thoroughly investigated whom congress
reconvenes. II may be that the cases
are grossly exaggerated, but there Is
no denying the fact that in the Huh
City placer case, which is one OF the
most notorious cases that has ever come
before the department. the secretary
never made an honest effort to prose-
cute the culprits.

On motion of Alderman Hughes, the
city attorney was instructed to draw
up an ordinance to license or prohibit
Photographs in business houses and in
public places. In explaining his mo-
tion Hughes stated that cheap phono-
graphs were fast becoming a public
nuisance.
The city recorder was instructed to
notify the judges and clerks Of cleo
tion that they would be expected to be

Monday.
The bill for an ordinance amending

WORST
OF ALL
Boise Evening News Makes
Grave Charges Against
the Secretary

The Boise Capital News Of the 18th
has few words to say about Secretary
Hitchcock, the article coming from its
news bureau in Washington, d. G. It|
makes some very grave charges, which
if they can be proved would make the
President himself wash his hands Of
him. 1t says;
When congress eonvenes again sew
eral resolutions will be introduced in
the house and senate calling for infor-
nation from the secretary of the in
terror, Hon. Ethan Allen Hitchcock,
with reference to a number Of cases
which have been acted upon by him
during the last few years which, on
their face, present an ugly condition
Of affairs. Many men in public life
do not believe that Secretary Hitch
cock is as fearless in the enforcement
Of the laws, particularly when his per
sonal friends are concerned, as has been
represented. Indeed, il is alleged by
those who profess to know, that the
secretary is himself today openly and
notoriously violating the federal stat.
utes. 1t is alleged that he is n stocl0
holder and director in the Union Trust
company Of st. Louis. This company,
il is alleged, holds the first mortgage
bonds of the Choctaw Railway com.
pany, which is now portion Of the
Rock Island system. During the last
few years the Choctaw railroad has Sc
cured valuable timber and coal leases
in eastern Indian Territory. II is al
legged that this railroad company has
obtained unusual courtesies from the
department and that the relations exist
ing between the secretary and the I'm
ion Trust company of st. Louis indi-
rectly associate him with the transac.
tion, which is an open and notorious
violation Of the federal statutes.
Several years ago application was
made TO tho secretary Of the interior
to have patent issued to one w. s.
Montgomery, and embracing what Is
now known as the famous Hull City
placed claims, in the Leadville, district
Colorado, cancelled on the ground that
the patent had been obtained by fraud
This is probably the most notorious
case that has ever been. before the de
partment. The parties who obtained
the patent were virtually convicted OF
perjury but escaped conviction in the
federal courts by reason of defect in
the indictment and the operation of the
statute Of limitations This property
is valued at several millions of dollars
and the strongest efforts were made to
induce the secretary to prosecute the
case. Tho evidence, IL is said, was con
elusive. But for some unknown rea
son Secretary Hitchcock eontented
himself with a mere accommodation
to the department Of justice that suit
be instituted to cancel the patent. In his
letter TO the attorney general he said
"OH the whole, believe that such a
showing has been made Of fraud and
Misrepresentation that suit should be
Immediately instituted and vigorously
prosecuted to yaeate said patent" But
about this time prominent attorneys
were employed in the case, among
them being ex-Seeretary John w. No
BILE of st. Louis, who succeeded in pre-
venting the suit being instituted to
vacate the patent.
In doing this, it is alleged, the rec

STREETS
ARE TO BE
IMPROVED
South Commercial the First
Council Will Meet Again
Thursday to Pass
Ordinance

South Commercial street is to be i'm
proved. This was the action deter
mined upon by the city council last
night in adopting the report of the
committee on streets. 1t was also
shown that the property owners on
that street were not opposed to the
improvement, but they thought THE
city should share in the expense Of
the same, and they presented a petition
to that effect.
A petition was also presented from
number of taxpayers and business
men Of the city asking that something
better than macadam be put on the
principal streets of the city. Both pc
tititons are given in full below.
Another important matter was called
to the attention of the council by AL
derman Gesner, but il received no con
sideration at their hands He called
attention to the unsanitary condition
Of the sewers where they empty into
tho river. He stated that at several
points the sewers omptied out onto the
gravel before they reached the river
and thus created a foul stencil which
was blown back onto the city.
City council met in regular session
last night with all aldermen present
except Downing, and Goodale. After
the reading and approving Of the min
utes the committee on ways and means
reported that they had examined the
report Of the recorder for the month
Of june and found it correct.
The ordinance committee reported
favorably on the amendment to the
sidewalk ordinance, but asked for fur
ther time on the amendment TO the sa'
loon ordinance.
The committee on streets reported
that they had looked into the matter
Of the improvement Of South CONNER
cial street and that they thought that
the bids Of the Warren Construction
company Of Portland was reasonable
bid and they recommended that the
mayor and recorder be instructed to en-
ter into a contract with the company
for the improvement Of the street. They
also reported that they had conferred
with the property owners on that street
and that they found no real objection
to the proposed improvement, but thai
they thought the city should bear
part of the expense. The committed
however thought this would establish
bad precedent. The report and rec
concentrations of the committee were
adopted with but one dissenting vote
Bayne not voting.
The report of the committee ON pub
lie buildings was TO the effect that they
had received one bid Of $l5 per month
for the renting of the old engine house
on State street. The bid was accepted
