Frost had either died ON duty or had
gone to sleep, and Manager Ingersoll,
refuses to believe that he had dozed
while on duty. Another theory was
that Mr.. FroHt may have been trying

train, which WAS headed for the roar
Of the preceding train, was positive
that Frost was at his post, and this

indicate that the machinery was In

MOORE ENTERS PROTEST

Boise, Idaho, September IA
Avery q. Moore has fled with
Secretary of State Lansdon a long
letter in defense of his protest filed
yesterday against the allowance of a
number of claims of the Pinkerton
Detective agency and in support of
his contention that they should not
be allowed. The letter is addressed
to Governor Gooding, Secretary
Lansdon, and Attorney General
Guheen, as members of the state
board of examiners.
After calling attention to his
reception by them yesterday in which
he says, 81 was insulted by the gov
eInor, treated to an exhibition of
ignorance and anger on the part of
Mr.. Lansdon and had the voucher in
question taken out of my hands by
an attorney general, he proceeds to
criticise the board for allowing a
mum Der of claims which, he SAYS
even the most casual examination
would show to be illegal on their
face He says he is informed that
no appeal lies from the action of the
board and he wishes to cause them
not to approve the claim under con
sideration. He suggests that it is
the plain duty of the board to sum
mon witnesses and to require proof
of the Legitimacy of the claims and
points out that many of the claims
are not itemi2ed as requierd by law
not are there receipts attached as the
law requires.
The letter makes the suggestion
that "'if the revelations that have
been made by the Pinkertons in
former bills we're not so obviously
dishonest, and in some in stances re-
voting, the people would not be so
suspicious of the number, and
quality of the sin covered by the
words ''incidentatls. +" He then
cites some instances which be alleges
are found in former bills Of wrongful
charges, making the accusation that
some bills for mileage, salary and
expenses have been charged against
the state and also against Canyon
county for the same services. Other
items are referred to, covering a
''sleigh-ride with Miss G. securing
information, - treating While secur-
ing information, - three cases of
Budweiser = lone case Of Old Grow
whiskey, - treating expenses in
saloons and sporting houses, =" etc.
The letter concludes as follows:
1--WE have all taken particular
pride in the credit that has come to
Idaho as a result of the Haywood
trial. When the zeal or hatred of
the friends of Haywood caused him
to revile us and declare that the jury
would be packed against him we de-
clsred the charges to be false. De-
velopments proved that we we're
right,
when they charged our courts
with being corrupt and under the
control of the mine owners of Colo
ra3o, We declared the charge to be
false, and Developments proved that
our claim of integrity for the Idaho
judiciary was we'll founded.
