Review of Circumstances.

In it's findings the board makes a brief
review of the circumstances attending the
wreck, saying that on the night of Sep
TENDER II last engine 1916 of the Southern
railway turned over at the corner of 9th
street and Maryland avenue southwest
cab to the street with the cab of the over
turned engine resting upon his legs, rem
derinS him unable to eXtricate himself.
Shortly after the accident Lieut. Mulhall
with four reserve policemen from the fourth
precinct hurried to the scene, and upon
arrival found everything dark and nearly
a thousand persons gathered about the
wreck. In the meantime the fire depart
on the scene, and shortly after his arrival
Lieut.. Mulhall summoned Capt. Mathews
with eight more reserves and the reserves
of the sixth and first precincts, as his
force was found inadequate to handle the
large crowd of curious and excited per-
sons.
According to the testimony, a score of
railroad wOrkmen were theoretically at
work with jacks trying to lift the engine
from their suffering comrade, and they
were elected. Several of the railroad men
testified that they had jacks of a sufi-
cient capacity to lift the cab of the engine
from Murphy, and If they had been per-
mitted to remain at their work a few min
utes longer they could have released the
engineer, as they had succeeded in freeing
one of his legs. The defense contended
that the jacks being operated by the men
were not of sufficient capacity to raise the
engine.

Mr.. Smiths Views,

Assistant Corporation Counsel Smith. in
his minority report, said:
The offense with which the officers ac-
cused are charged in the premises, is the
election of railroad employees who were in
the act of rendering assistance or making
efforts to release the engineer before the
arrival of the wreck train, and with pre-
venting other railroad employees who We're
willing and capable of rendering such as
sistance from approaching and doing So
1t appears from the evidence that more
than score of men, a great majority of
them railroad employees. were either put
away from the wreck by the police while
actually engaged in working there, or We're
prevented from approaching by the police
after informing them that they were rail
road men and capable of rendering assist
ance. In the majority of instances of this
kind the acts complained of are charged
against the two accused officers personally
Among the men who Were thus either eject
ed or excluded by one the other of the
two accused officers. We're the assistant
foreman of yards of the Southern railway:
the assistant yardmaster of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad: the supervisor of the Pennsvl-
vania railroad; the fireman of the overturn-
ed engine and the conductor of the train to
which it was attached also the railroad
engineer who telephoned for the wreck
train and the two men who had gone to
the Pennsylvania railroad station for hy-
draulic Jacks and brought them there and
who, according TO their testimony, We're in
fact working with them at the time of their
ejectment. and the man who, at the Sug-
gestion OF the injured engineer, had pro-
cured the screw jack from the tender of
the locomotive.

Action of the Police.

The police seem to have made no direct
efforts in the way of releasing the man, but
the keeping back of the crowd was probably
a work of sufficient difficulty to require all
of their time and attention. The testimony
of these men is absolutely uncontradicted.
Some effort was made to discredit 1t by the
introduction of evidence consisting mainly
of the testimony of firemen and police Off
GERS to the effect that they saw men work.

EXONERATED BY BOARD
Findings in Case of Accused
Police Officers.
DEATH OF ENGINEER MURPHY
Capt. Mathews and Lieut.. Mulhall
Absolved From Blame
BY THE MAJORITY REPORT
Assistant Corporation Counsel Smith,
Member of the Board, Files
Dissenting Opinion.

Capt w. II. Mathews and Lieut. ]. E.
Mulhall of the Metropolitan force have
been exonerated of the charges preferred
| against them in connection with the death
of Hugh Murphy, the engineer who met his
| death beneath an overturned engine, at 9th
street and Maryland avenue southwest on
September IL last. Mathews was found
| guilty of striking Capt. w. A. Dickson of
| the fire department at the scene of the
wreck and of conduct unbecoming an ef-
fcer, and as a penalty was warned as to
his future conduct, but the various serious
and grave charges, such as ineficiency fail
ing to render assistance, or direct those of
their command to do so, and refusing to
permit others to aid in the rescue, and of
ejecting such persons, and of INDIGENOUS
and Incorporate conduct, which We're pre-
ferred by Inspector Robert H. Boardman, as
acting superintendent of police, upon the
sworn complaint of Thomas H. Brickley,
were dismissed, Mulhall and Mathews be-
ing found not guilty by a majority of the
trial board upon theeS allegations.
The findings in the cases of the two police
officers which has peen looked forward to
with more interest than possibly has been

by a trial board because Of the grave
nature of the charges, and in view OF the
fact that they were presented by the menu

gineers. was transmitted to Commissioner
West this morning by Maj. Sylvester.
All the papers in the case, including the
| hearing before the trial board and before
| Commissioner Mcfarland, the charges and
specifications, the records OF the accused
policemen and the correspondence in the
| case were bulky and represented many
thousands of words. The papers in the
hearing before the trial board consisted of
several hundred sheets of foolscap paper
containing closely typewriter copy. Com
missioner West did not shed his coat and
jump into the papers after their receipt
this morning, but gave them glance ana
turned them over to the secretary of the
board of commissioners to keep for five
days pending an appeal. which is the time
limit allowed by law. The substance of the
findings were clearly related to him by
Maj Sylvester. chief of police. and when
asked for an expression of opinion upon
the verdict which was a divided one the
Commissioner refused to say anything.

Fake Advertising.

The Caldwell News in recent issue warns its
contemporaries against certain advertisement that
has been distributed largely among Western papers,
The News believes the advertisement to be fake
because it can get no answer to inquiries concerning
it, and so that paper urges other papers that are
running it either to discontinue doing at once or
investigate for themselves
This is good advice not only for the sake of the
newspapers but for the sake of the public. An
advertiser who is not honest with the publishers he
deals with is not likely to be honest with those to
whom he expects to sell his goods, and no news
paper should knowingly publish any advertisement
intended to defraud its readers. 1t would seem
therefore that no publisher with the business udg-
ment requisite to success and the sense of moral
responsibility that the public has right to demand,
would publish advertising matter of which he knows
neither the source nor the effect 1t is likely
to have It is not to be doubted that the great
majority of Idaho publishers have this sense of moral
responsibility, but careessness in such matters might
lead the public to believe otherwise.

Less hazing of corporations for the fun OF the
thing by Congress, by attorney generals by half

sational judges, by "hit 'em again" Legislatures.
Less vogue for the agitaor whose vocation is dis

calist who dabbes in the same line an avocaton.
Less credence for that panc-breeding superstition
that it doesn't matter to the rest of the country or
to general business what prices quoted in Wall
street for securities.
We also anticipate betterments in the business
world For example
Less tolerance of chicanery and less pertnence to
the gibe that feecer is a fnancier until caught.
Greater care in the selection of trustees and greater
insisence that the fundamental obligations of trus-
teeship shall be respected.
More circumspection and regard for repute on the
part of those who perhaps should be kicked out
but aren't
Fewer successful explorations of wildcat specu-
1ative enterprises and consequent prejudice of the
victims against all investment

A Typical Town.

Three years ago the bright Idaho shone upon
tract Of 100000 acres of sage brush land in GER
tain part of this State unbroken in its vast expanSe
by the path of the jack-rabbt and the coyote.
AS a place for the habitation of it seemed
worthless to the casual observer, and even to the
minds of many who were familiar with the bound
less possibilities of irrigation it presented an under
taking too monumental to be considered. But men
who could not be daunted took hold of the under
taking They realized to the full the difficulties
that would be encountered and the immense capital
that would be needed but they had faith in the
success of such an enterprise and resolved to achieve
it. A vast irrigation system was put under way;
land office was established in August 1904, for
the disposal of lands under the Carey Act and the
reclamation laws, and the work of building an en-
pre was begun.
TODAY as the commercial center of that immense
tract-once a desert waste-stands town of 5000
inhabitants 1t has stores, brick business buildings,
an opera house, churches and Schools all doing
their full share toward the life and welfare OF the
community 1t exports daily twenty carloads OF
produce from the prolific farms surrounding It, and
would export if it could get the cars. Within
sight of the town twenty-three steam threShers
work upon the golden grain, while steam plows are
kept busy preparing the rich soil for future crops
With the growth of this town. others have sprung
I'D around it as commercial centers of subdlvided
portions of the tract and more are sprlngng up
all the time while hundreds upon hundreds OF acres
are yielding to the energy of the husbandmen
The composite scene presents wonderful Illus
tration of achievement to the eye of the observer,
but only decimal part of the undertaking has yet
begun.
Comparisons are invidious and it is unnecessary to
mention the name of the town described in the lore
going There are many towns in Idaho which could
teach a similar lesson of what brains, capital and
energy will do in the great Northwest, but tor pur
poses of Illustration the town referred to has been
used.
And the lesson taught is certainly one upon which
social economists can we'll afford to ponder. For
here in Idaho we have room for 100000 happy
and prosperous people, capable of producing TOR
100000 people more We have homes to offer
to the millions in the congested centers OF the East
who toll out their years with no hope OF leaving
the smallest heritage to their progeny and we can
invite them to turn their attention this way.
Idaho and the Northwest invite the man who seeks
a home for himself and his generations
