wake up to their responsibilities. The

Caldwell. Idaho. May 29.-When the
Canyon county district court convened

which should prevent District Judge
FRANK Smith from sitting as trial judge
ana gave notice of motion for
change OF venue. Twenty-six reasons
which are alleged to disqualify judge
Smith are given.
Among other points ii is alleged that
Governor Frank R GoOdfng has issued
a public manifesto declaring the guilt
OF the defendants and that he has
proof of their guilt. The fact that
Judge Smith is an appointee of the
governor is set forth and the allegation
that he is subject to the influence of
the governor is made. The manner of
drawing the grand jury in this county
also is attacked.
The petition severely criticises the
conduct Of both Governor Gooding and
Judge Smith in relation to these cases.
Before taking any notice of the mo-
ton in behalf of the defendants, ]. R.
Hawley, chief counsel for the prose
cution, filed affidayits setting forth the
present status of the habeas corpus
proceeding taken to the federal SUI
preme court on appeal from the fed
eral court for the district of Idaho.
He said the trial of the defendants
could not proceed until the habeas
corpus matter should be disposed of
by dismissal or final decision from the
supreme court.

WANT LOCK CANAL.
Minority Report of senate Committee
Submitted

Washington. May 29--In recon- 4
mendation Of the construction of a
lock canal across the fsthmus of Pan
anna the minority of the senate COM
mittee on interoceanic canals has
drafted an exhaustive report which
was submitted to the senate today by
Chairman Willard. One of the chief
arguments made in favor of the lock
canal is that the Spooner act shows
that congress intended that should be
the type, although the authority to
decide was conferred upon the presi-
dent. The minority says.
THE president having taken the ad-
vice of competent engineers and of the
canal commission has recommended
that it is advisable to construct a lock
canal
The minority declares that the only
question presented is whether congress
shall annul the action of the presi-
dent or shall simply hold its hands
and allow the president to exercise the
power which has heretofore been con-
ferred upon him.
The canal type proposed by the mi
nority of the board Of consulting en-
gineers in the lock canal which is the
type favored by the minority of the
senate committee. The report argues
that the plan is well balanced for il

seven and a half years. Everything
else to be done-the three dams forming
Lake Sosa. the dam and lock at Pedro
A1iguel-can be completed well within
this time.
The cost of the canal is s14O. 600 600.
This includes everything but the sani-
tation and it of course includes the
equipment already purchased and in
preparation for construction already

In answer to objections to the scheme
of having locks placed in flight, the
minority says:
They are placed Immediately to-.
