ter of remitting the sentence OF
death pronounced upon Harry Orch
ard. the self-confessed murderer OF
Frank Steunenberg, 1t will be neces-

The Attorney General has given
IN opinion that under the laws OF
Idaho the pardon board cannot act
upon Judge Woods recommendation
alone, that an application must be
made to 1t in Orchards behalf. Frank
r. Wyman, Orchards attorney by
virtue of appointment by the court,
visited Orchard in the penitentiary
and explained the situation, and
urged him to make such application
and agree to appear before the par
don board in person. Orchard en-
phatically refused to do so. He said
that he had committed the crime and
felt that he should pay the full pen
atty.
"If no one else will make the
proper application to the board I
will make it myself. 1t will be my
duty as Orchards attorney" said

Washington-Charges of a serl-
Gus nature against Clifford PinchOt,
Chief of the Forestry Bureau, were
made Monday in the House by
Smith of California and Mondell of
Wyoming, during consideration of
the agricultural appropriation bill.
Smith accused him of entering into
secret understanding with the city
Of Los Angeles, with view to Sc
curing to the city valuable water
rights In the Owens River Valley, as
against the interests Of private par
ties having prior claims. Mondell
denounced him for, as he charged,
Illegally paying the expenses of for
est officials in attending conventions
in the west. in which the government
had no part, and also for spending
government money to boost his
bureau in the newspapers. Mr.. Pin
chot was defended by Pollard of Ne
braska and Scott of Kansas.
Smith of California denounced the
Forestry Service for attempting to
acquire the Owens Valley in Cali
fornia.
While the debate was going on,
Pollard Of Nebraska went to the
te1anhona md had talk with Mr.
Pinchot. When he came back into
the chamber he declared that Mr..
Pinchot had said that the entire
California delegation, Including Mr..
Smith," had gone to the department
"and requested and almost demanded
that this reserve be crrated for the
purpose of furnishing water sup
ply to Los Angeles" and that the
city was entirely dependent on this
supply. Now" he charged, "Mr.
Smith comes here and tries to show
that the department is trying to ere

Pollard declared, was to
prevent monopolies rather than to
create them.

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE
SETS DATE FOR PRIMARIES
County Central Organization Meets Tuesday and
Arranges Dates and Places for Pri-
maries and Conventions.

The Central Republican Com
mittee for Elmore County held
its first meeting for the year at
w. c. Howie's office Tuesday
afternoon. Beside the chair
man, C. E. Corker, of Glenn's
Ferry, there were present at
the meeting Committeeman
Harry Knox of Glenn's Ferry,
VIM. Pickerell of Atlanta, J. B.
Stanfield, R. W. Smith, Hogan
Gaines of Mountain Home, and
Executive Committeeman w.
C. Howie and J. M. Owen. Mr..
Knox also held a proxy for S. B.
Blackwell of Cold Springs. 1t
was decided by the committee
that there would be three dis
tinct sets of primaries and con-
ventions this year one to elect
delegates to the convention at
Wallace, one to elect delegates
to the Boise convention, and
one for the selection of county
nominees. The date for the
primaries for selecting dele
gates to the convention to elect
delegates to the Wallace con-
vention was fixed for April 25,
and the place selected was
Glenn's Ferry, where the first
county convention will be held
May 2. This leaves just ten
days between the Glenn's Ferry
convention and that at Wallace.
There was considerable discus
sion as to the best mode of de-
termining the basis of repre-
sentation at this and the other
