HErTFELD IS RULING POWER
Lewiston's Mayor Casts Deciding
Vote on Important Matter.

LEWISTON, Idaho, aug. ga
With the vote Of the Lewiston council
standing three to three on all inn
portant matters. Mayor Hietfeld en-
joys the position Of being practically
dictator OF municipal affairs. The
deadlock in the council is the result
Of the recent election. when three
members were elected to once on an
economy platform and on taking the
oath of ONCE introduced such mea-
sures as they believed consistent with
their promises to the taxpayers.
The efforts of the new members
to change about the city administra-
tion was met by solid vote of the
three holdover members with Mayor
Heitfeld casting the deciding vote
and standing with the old mem
bers. Since that time prac-
tically all important measures intro
duced by the new members have been
defeated by the followers, while the
vote of the mayor has made it pos
sible for the old members to secure
the passage of measures they intro
duced.
The most bitter clash is expected
when the bids for paving Lewiston s
streets are opened September s,
as 1t is definitely known one or more
of the new members is opposed to
paving of any kind and every OBJ
stacle will be offered to block the
paving proceedings.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26.-Jeffries

try and persuade me to re-enter the
ring. I'm out for keeps. All night

ing if | would re-enter. | answer them

battle. Tommy Burns had his price,

pride of the caucasian race
Burns was money mad. AS clim-
AK of his ring career it is anything but
brilliant for it is now allowed that
the black shadow of Jack Johnson that
has been lowering over the heavy
weight throne so many months has
finally descended upon the crown and
title. The Canadian will never be
forgiven by the public for allowing the
title to be wrested from his keeping

Johnson is entitled to all the glory
that the victory may bring. The fact
that he is a negro will not be held
against him by the followers of the
game.

Will Make No Reply to Labor Appeal
Until the Matter is Set
tied by the
Courts.
HE GIVES THE REASON
Is Informing Himself on the Subject
so as to be Ready to
Give an Opinion
Later.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Roosevelt
this afternoon through Secretary Loeb
made his reply to the appeal of the
labor organizations in the Gompers-
MitchellMorrison case. He calls at
tention to the fact that the case is still
before the courts and that it is i'm
proper for the president to interfere
at this time.
When disposition is made the pres
ident will then consider whether the
term of Imprisonment set by Justice
Wright were excessive or improper.
His statement says, "Of course it is
impossible for the president to act
while an appeal is pending, for he has
nothing to act about. If the defend
ants see fit to abandon the appeal,
the matter will then be brought before
the executive, in which case it will re-
ceiye immediate attention and careful
consideration. The defendants have a
perfect right to prosecute their appeal
iif unsuccessful in the nfial { urt and
then ask for pardon or communications.
| The president has already instructed
! the department of justice to keep him
fully informed as to the progress of
the case in the event of it becoming
| proper for him to act. and to decide
! whether there was justification for the
sentence, and whether in justification
of some punishment, the sentence is
or is not altogether too severe"
