Boise, Feb. 7.-Columbia theatre
was packed last Thursday night by
large and appreciative audience
to listen to the memorial services
arranged by the joint committee OF
the senate and house of the ninth
session Of the Idaho legislature in
honor Of the memory of former
Governors Frank Steunenberg and
Frank w. Hunt, who since the
last session Of the legislature have
been called to the great beyond.
The exercises were fittingly ar
ranged and carried out. The
speakers were we'll chosen and the
short addresses were earnest, elo-
quent and in full accord with the
sentiments of those present. The
address of Hon. Frank Martin on
former Governor Steunenberg, and
the eulogy Of Joseph T. Pence on
former Governor Hunt, were par
ticularly eloquent tributes to the
great worth of the, departed and
struck responsive cord in the
heart OF the vast audience as
shown by the number of tear dim
med eyes at several points during
the discourse.
The meeting was called to order
by Speaker Hunt and Dean Kinks,
chaplain Of the senate, delivered
an earnest prayer. The joint roll

iveness was added to by the an
nOuncement that the song had been

behalf Of the state to the resolu-
tions and in a brief address paid a
glowing tribute to both the de.
ceased governors and especially to
Governor Hunt for his service to
the country and state during the
Spanish-American war.
Governor Goodipg spoke of the
murder of Gov. Steunenburg and
briefly reviewed the work of the
state in endeavoring to secure the
punishment OF those responsible
for the crime.
He arraigned those responsible
for the wild talk OF invading the
state with armed forces to rescue
the men who are held charged
with the crime in strong language.
Senators Whitewell and McMil.

lowed Governor Gooding. Both
paid high tributes to the deceased
governors in brief but eloauen,

sentatives Fallon and Ballantyne
spoke briefly in behalf of the
house. Joseph T. Pence was then
introduced and delivered an eulopy
of former Gov. Hunt. His ad

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-President Harahsn

arrived thisa afternoon. He delivered him
self Of these remarks
-On my arrival in Chicago this afternoon
from New York ! ind in the papers articles
telegraphed from New York concerning
an alleged occurrence reported as having
taken place at a meeting Of he board Of
directors held yesterday. These published
reports do not state the facts.
My duty and my honor will not allow
me to discuss matters Of occurrence con-
sidercd or taking place at the meetings OF
the board OF directors; nor will my dignity
permit Inc to publicly discuss personal
matters further than to deny the reports
which undoubtedly emanated from the
the same source as the reports appearing
in to-dsy's papers. and which have been
frequently published. to the effect that the
friendship which existed between Mr.. Fish
and myself was broken just prior to my
election as president in November. 1909.
The fact is Mr.. Fish's actions had severed
that friendship several years prior to that
time.
Reports have also been published TO the
effect that during the long friendship Of
Mr.. Fish and myself frequent promotions
were given me through the influence Of
Mr.. Fish. As a matter Of fact my connec-
ton with the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany began with my election as second
vioe-president by the board Of directors
in 1900. and l continued in that capacity
until my election a. president by the board
Of directors in November. 1905
