and Organize a Local

The socialists OF KoOtenai county
held a convention in Sanders hall
today for the purpose of efrecting q
local organization in the city. So
cialists from all parts OF the county
we're in attendance and a local or
ganization was effected and consId-
cradle other business disposed OF.
There were present at the meeting
something like 400.
The meeting was called to order
by John @. Cook OF Rathdrum. coun-
ty chairman for the organisation. s.
A. Stowe was elected chairman and
during the forenoon session speeches
were made dealing with socialism
and the plan upon which the local
organization was to be completed. by
Stowe, =. C. Hubbard of Mica Bay
and A. II. Barton Of this city.
The address made by Barton was
the feature Of the forenoon session.
He read from the Appeal to Reason
an article to the effect that a bill
was now being introduced in the
United States senate by Senator Pen
rose. the purpose of which was to
amend section 3S93 OF the Revised
Statutes of the United States. This
provision deals with the sending Of
obscene and vicious literature
through the mails, but according to
the view taken OF 1t by the Appeal,
the amendment would not apply to
this alone, but that It would have the
effect OF giving to the postmaster
general the sole power OF suppressing
mail according to his own discretion.
The Appeal ardcle contended that
the amendment was directed against
all socialist literature, and requested
all members OF the socialist army TO
make a fight against it's passage. A

chairman to draft resolutions to be
sent to Congressman French asking

passage OF the bill. Appropriate
resolutions were drafted by the COM
mittee and read and accepted.
The features Of the afternoon SEES
sion were addresses made by e. C.
Hubbard and ID. Parks. Both speak
ers took the prevailing economic con-
ditions Of today for their subject,
and maintained that the only solution
of the different problems now con-
fronting the nations was socialism.
The meeting was enthusiastic and the
addresses made were good.
The convention was still in session
up till late hour this afternoon and
in process OF perfecting an organiza-
ton and selecting officers.

ANDREW RAUCH DIES
Was a Personal Friend OF Abraham
Lincoln.


Lincoln.
Andrew Rauch died at his resi-
dence, 800 Garden street, last even
ing at 8 o'clock. The cause of his
death was general feebleness occa-

Five of the children are residents of
this city and another, a brother, is
a resident of Virginia. The children
all grew up in Springfield and in
1891 the family came west, settling
in Moscow. In 1904 the family
moved to Occur d'Alene, where they
have resided since
During Mr.. Rauch's residence in
Springfield he learned to know Abra-
ham Lincoln and their acquaintance
ripened into a personal friendship.
Mr.. Rauch was local justice of the
peace in Springfield when Lincoln
was a struggling young lawyer, and
often had Lincoln appeared before
him as the advocate of some client.
He also did jury duty when Lincoln
was practicing before the superior
court, and had often sat and heard
him plead the cause of client.
Mr.. Rauch was the possessor OF
hosts of friends in his old home in
Illinois, and also at Moscow and this
place, who will grieve to learn of his
death.
The funeral will be held at the
family residence tomorrow forenoon
at 10 o'clock. Rev. Litherland will
ofFiciate. The body will be shipped
on the afternoon train to Moscow
and interment made in the family
