over half of which had been used to

believed would improve the traction
facilities of the city. He told how this
money had been used to bring out
strong showing of opposition through
the organization of citizens associa

prominent lawyers who had been re-
tanned to assist him. Some of these ex-
penses, to the amount of $4,000 were
known as the subway special ac-

against more subways except on the

EDUCATIONAL
Gift With Strange Conditions.

Gilt with Strange Conoitions.
Considerable interest has been arous-
ed in educational circles by the pc
culiar will of Miss Anna L. Jeanes,
who died recently at Philadelphia. In
this will she left bequest Of $1,000
600 to Swarthmore college on the iron
clad condition that the college refrain
from taking part in all intercollegiate
sports and that its faculty eliminate
all athletics. The matter has been
taken under advisement by the board

LEGAL CRIMINAL
Prohibition For Tennessee.

The supreme court of Tennessee has
affirmed the constitutionality of the
Pendleton act, which in effect extends
the provisions of prohibition to all but
five cities Of the state. The same legis-
lature which passed this law abolished
the charters of five cities-Knoxville,
Bristol, GAINESVILLE, Columbia and
Jackson-and reincorporated them I'M
der the new law which prohibits sa-
looms within their borders. The five
cities where liquor can be sold after
Jan. l next are Memphis, Binghamton,
Chattanooga, Nashville and La Fol
lette.
State Versus Federal Receivers.
Attorney General Jackson of New
York has asked Justice Ford of the SUI
preme court to appoint receivers to
wind up the affairs of the New York
City railway and to call to account the
directors Of the Metropolitan system
for failing to do their duty. Justice
Ford issued the preliminary order to
this effect, but at the same time Fed
eral Judge Lacombe of the circuit
court, who appointed Receivers Robin
son and JOHN for the New York City
railway last week, extended their au-
thority to the Metropolitan Street rail-
way on the ground that the New York
City had control of the Metropolitan
assets, the former being the lessee Of
the latter. The petition of Attorney
General Jackson charges collision in
Judge Lacombe's appointments.
MetcaIf Exclusion Upheld.
The New York court of appeals has
affirmed the decision of the lower
courts which held that the theater
which excluded Critic Metcalf of Life
because of his anti-Hebrew criticisms
of the management was within its le-
gal rights. The higher court says that
Metcalf's writing showed race bitter
ness and hatred" and that theaters are
in no sense under state control.

and Mr.. Nugent stated that since they
had beer given no alternative and
since it was dangerous to 60 to trial
in Canyon county they would abide BY
the judges decision, and 90 to Ada
county. He called attention to the
advantages Of Washington county and
to the fact that Mr.. steunenberg had
resided for four years in Boise. The
judge replied that Washington county
was in no wise fitted for the trial. Mr..
Hawley then asked the Judge IL il was
understood that the prisoners were
forced TO remain at Boise no matter
what the conditions were. The Judge
replied that he did not intend to take
any rights away from the prisoners
that the law allowed them. The mo-
tion was allowed and the case changed
TO Boise.
Next Monday in Boise court a spec
ifc time will be set, Mr.. Nugert said
they would like special trials for each
defendant which he was told would be
granted, and he would be informed
which would be tried first. The trial
will be about the first of May.
