STATES SENATOR

Land Frauds.

The separate trial OF Senator
William E. Borah, charged with
conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment of timber lands in Boise ba-
sin, indicted with IL others by
grand jury of the federal court In
session last spring, was commenced
in the federal court before Judge
Edward Whitson Monday Every
seat in the court room was taken
when the trial began and many
were standing all through the
proceedings. The hall leading to
the court room on the second floor
of the federal building was also
packed with people unable to gain
an enhance. All of the two ses-
sions of the court yesterday, lasting
from 10 O'Clock until noon and from
. O'Clock until in the afternoon
were taken up in the examination
of talesmen by the government.
Some surprise vas manifested
when Mr.. Ruick took up the ex-
aminations for the government. 1t
had been given out that he was to
be relieved from any part in the
trial by Judge M. c Burch and
Special Assistant District Attorney
Rush, who, it was understood,
had been sent here on orders to con-
duct the governments side Of the
case against Mr.. Borah and the
other defendants. The voice of
Judge Burch was not heard in the
court room Monday and he was
not personally present much of the
time. Only once or twice did At
vtorney Rush address the court and
he took no part in Tie examination
of witnesses. All of the work was
conducted by District Attorney
Ruick, while upstairsin the grand
jury room the newly empanncllec
grand jury was investigating the
charges of misconduct on his par
before the grand jury which return
ed the indictment against Senator
Borah and other defendants. O

BUTTERMILK COCKTAIL

Weird Drink Fails to Please the First
Victim, but Dispenser Still
Hopes to Increase city's
Revenues

"Chappy' paced to and fro on the
sawdust patch which separates the ma
hogany bar from the lunch counter.
His mind was occupied. There was no
question as to that.
"Arsenic won't do and nitric acid is
too strong" he muttered. "By all that
is human, what, shall I do?'
Far be 1t from "Chappy' to tread the
sawdust except under stress of excite-
ment.
A friend approached two other friends
and suggested sending for an ambulance.
''Pooh, pooh!" said the pair in unison.
"He is trying merely to invent a butter
milk cocktail. He is a warm friend of
Fairbanks and stands in with the city
administration Sh--- not so loud!'
Milk. milk-ah, yes, / used to know
it," murmured the inventor, grabbing his
fourth slice of bologna, "and If this was
my own bar--let me see."
He dug into his coat pocket and pro-
duced a newspaper clipping wherein was
told the sad story that Los Angeles once
collected SO per quarter from her mild
eyed milk dealers, but that at this time
is losing money because a new law col
lects license by the gallon sold, rather
than from the fact that a man is selling

Michel Holman was lying Ill in an ad-
Joining house.
The prisoners jumped all the way to
the jail and in their cells they continued
their shouting and screaming until 2
o'clock in the morning. Following a Gus
tom whicn the sheriff says has obtained
for many years in Waukesha county

hose was turned on them, but even this
did not dampen their ardor. 1t Is the

street meetings were resumed. On the
night of June 26 two women members who
had been repeatedly warned were arrest
ed, and the next day f. M. Messenger,
one of the heads of the organization, was
placed under arrest. Two days later six
$4,000 damage suits against the sheriff were
started and others are threatened. The
plaintiffs are r. p. Maxwell, Charles l..
Capsel, Anton Nelson, Charles Fordham,
Thomas Beggarley and A. c. Bray.
Say They Were Clubbed
The complainants all declare that they
are divinity students and that they were
in the peaceful pursuit of learning and
experience when they were arrested. They
charge that the Sherln ana MS deputies

They further charge that they suffered
greatly by the operation; that they were
forced to pass the night in their wet

were left on the floors of the cells in
which they were compelled to sleep.

BENCH AVERTS CLASH
between IRATE LAWYERS
ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY
FLARES AT REMARK
North and SturgIs Apologize After
Judge Smith Interferes in
Threatened Trouble in
Court

Whats threatened for a moment to be
a serious clash between two attorneys in
department one of the superior court
yesterday was averted by the intervention
of Judge Smith.
Attorney Sturgis, counsel for Edward
Boone whose recent trial on the charge
of obtaining money and materials on
false pretenses resulted in disagree
ment of the jury, asked for an early date
for a new trial.
He cited a section of the penal code to
show there was no possible chance to
convict Boone on the evidence intro
duced at the last trial and the court re-
marked that he was inclined to agree
with the counsel.
Assistant District Attorney North OBJ
jected to dlsmissing the case and said
the prosecution expected to have some
new evidence at the next trial. He also
was willing to have an early date set and
August was agreed upon.
Il don't see any reason to expect a
conviction on such evidence" said Attor-
ney Sturgis, as he started to leave the
court room, but of course there are al
ways people willing to testify at such a
time"
whats that?' interrupted North. 'Td
like you to repeat that statement
Your honor" said North to the court
''he asserts the district attorneys office
is in the habit of getting witnesses tc
testify to anything"
"That isn't what 1 said" Sturgis at
tempted to explain, but Judge Smith re-
fused to listen.
IF you gentlemen have any intention
of violence" he demonstrated, II hope
you will postpone it until after you leave
the court room"
Both North and Sturgis apologized and
the matter was dropped.

PUT TIME CLOCKS
IN THE CITY HALL
PLAN WOULD STOP HARDNESS
BY INDIFFERENT EMPLOYEES
CounciImen Discuss Scheme Requiring
All Departments to Maintain Auto
matte Service Registering
Machines

Because of the irregular hours kept by
some city employees and department heads
proposition has been put to some city
concilmen that system of time clocks
should be installed in every department,
or a large clock in the vestibule of the
city hall.
The city engineers department is the
only one which has such a modern con-
venience.
a Some councilmen say they have called
at the city building at 8 o'clock and found
only few subordinates on duty. Ques-
tioning, they would find that by system
OF coming early and leaving early, or
coming late and staying late, the city S
interests were not subserved on an eco
nomical basis. The eight-hour rule was
honored more in the breach
The same complaint applied to the
amount Of time consumed at meal times
Several department heads oppose the
clock idea, saying that the clock is no
absolute check on the amount of time
devoted to the city's service by employees.
BY lending their keys to certain fellow
employees the dilatory members can easily
have their own time registered when no
one is looking. and the clock will record
what the key directs In other words,
two or three men can give their keys to
conspirator, who need only apply the
right key to the right signal, this re-
cording that the owner of the key re-
ported for duty at a given time, though
he may be at home sound asleep.
These clocks are in general use in gov
ernment offices and big industrial estab-
lishments, where trusted employees watch
them to guard against misuse of the keys.
Each key is numbered to correspond with
the number of the owner and 1t can used
only on one spot or lock on the machine,
which 1t fits. The keys are made in hun
dreds of different designs, as in the Yale
system. When the key presses on its
proper lock an impression is made by the
machine showing when the key was used
Thus the clock tells between what hours
the owner or possessor of the key regis
tered at the machine, which is electri-
cally connected with a clock
