IDAHO LAND FRAUDS
Believed to be From Lewiston,
but Facts are Secret.

Boise, Idaho, March 23.-The
United States grand jury returned
several indictments yesterday. The
officers Of the court refuse to give out
as much even as the number, but in
formation secured from the inside
indicates there were four. There is
no certainty about the indicted
men, but they all seem to be Lewis.
ton people. Two of the men TO
which indictments point, were already
under indictment, but the other two
we're not. They are land fraud cases,
a part of the same set that we're pre-.
viously investigated. 1t is thought
two men have been indicted for
conspiracy, perhaps all Of them.
One Of the witnesses who was here
', from Lewiston made the statement
while in Boise that thu public might
look out for very sensational move
ments about the end of this week
but the officials Of the court are de
termined to keep sensatonshsre GOV

of that wing of the party in Boise
soon after the city election. Letters
have already been sent out to promi-
nent anti-Dubois men throughout the
state to secure the cooperation, and
it is expected the forthcoming confer
ence will be largely attended. One
of the leaders in the movement said
that they were willing TO compro-
mise on the Mormon question. They
would assent to the incorporation of
a plank on the Mormon subject in the
platform, but say it should not be
made the sole issue.
This man said the purpose was to
depose Dubois as leader. Several
others have expressed somewhat sim
elar views, but some hold that Du-
bois and his anti-MoImon program
must be thrown out.

BURTON is FREE
Kansas Senator Serves Out
Sentene.

Ironton, Mo-. March 23.-Joseph
R. Burton, who, until his conviction
in the federal court was United States
senator from Kansas, was yesterday
released from the county Jail here,
having completed his sentence OF six
months Imprisonment imposed when
he was found guilty of violating a
federal statute by appearing before a
governmental department as he paid
representative of an alleged "get rich
quick" concern of st. Louis. Burton
entered the Jail at Ironton October
%, 1906. His release today is due
to the law which provides for a de-
ducation from a sentence for good
behavior. Burton's sentence also
included fine of $500 and the
statute under which he was convicted
debars him from ever holding an
Office of trust or remuneration under
the federal government. The fine,
which has not been paid, will be
held over him as a civil judgment.

LIQUOR LICENSE LAW
Question as to Amount to be
Paid.

Question as to Amount to be
Paid.
An interesting question has arisen re-
sbpecting rights Of saloon men to Sc
cure license for the ensuing year at
the old rate, in cases in which the
licenses under which they are now
running expire before the new law
goes into effect. The Law will go
into effect May 7, so days after the
close of the session. In the interim,
many existing licenses will expire,
and the questions whether the holders
will be entitled to have them renew
ed for year upon payment OF the
old fee, which is $500 in all the
large places, says the Idaho Statesman.
There Is much difference Of opinion
among attorneys on the subject.
Some hold that the right exists, but
the general view is that 1t is a mooted
question. A number are looking the
matter up for persons interested. II
Is admitted that no one can secure 6
renewal at the old rate IL bis existing
license does not expire until aftei
the new law becomes operative, but
as TO those whose licenses expire be
fore that date, opinions differ.
As stated BY one attorney, thu
question IL whether the commissioner

ledge of the fact that the rates will so
soon be raised. Representative
Frank T. Wyman put it a little
differently, saying the question was
as to the rights Of the commissioners
to grant Licenses under the old rate.
he added the problem was one for the
court to decide.
County Attorney Koelsch, on the
other hand, stated that the saloon
men we're without doubt legally en-
titled to new license at the old rates,
IL their license expired before the
new law went inc effect. If that is
the case, many of the saloonkeepers
of Boise will be able to save consider
able money, as q large percentage OF
their licenses expire around the first
OF April. The new law flxes the
license at $500, so those who get in
in time will save $3.50.
Among those whose licenses expire
on or near the first of April are !:
Charles Granholm, March 81; John
Lemp, the Above Bar, Miller a
Unternahrer, the ldanha, the Mint,
Arc Light, Montreal, the Capitol sa
loon, Olympic, Silver Bell, the Bau-
q1et, April l.
Others who are not so fortunate,
but who still have some time to run
until their licenses expire are: Geo.
P. Brewer, July 81; T. II. Jones,
Aug. 81; Darby i Schollard, Aug.
81; Labourn d Reedy, Sept. 30; the
Overland, Dec. IA; the Banquet Dec.

Long, Jan. 8, 1908.
While the attorneys wrestle with
the legal aspect Of the question, 9th
ers are discussing the equities Of the
matter. There are those who hold II
would be unjust to let lot Of saloon
men in under the old law just before
the new act goes into effect WhilC

This question has been up at Lew
iston. There the commissioners hav'
ruled that all renewals before the new
law goes into effect can be issued a
the old rate. The lewiston Telle
says on the subject:
