OF CONFIDENCE
NOW ASSURED.

New York, Jan. 11-For the first
time since the beginning Of the finan-
cial stringency in October the clear
ing house statement today showed
that not only had the heavy bank re-
serve deficit been entirely wiped out,
but that a surplus of Sc, 084,05O above
the rs percent legal requirement had
been establishde. The figures made
known today exceeded the most san
guine hopes of bankers and brokers
and when the statement appeared on
the stockholders it was greeted with
a round of cheers in practically every
banking house in Wall street.
The bankers declared that no bet
ter evidence than the clearing house
statement could be obtained to show
the rapid restoration of confidence
and tremendous outpouring of hoard
ed money The excellent statement
foreshadows an early retirement of
clearing house certificates, which
were first issued on October 26, OF
last year. With the end of the mon.
ey stringency there will now be plen.
J ty of cash for the business and in.
dustrial world and many contemplated
projects can now be financed.

Chinese POL.
|IICS Are
very MIXED

PeEin, Jan. 1.-THE Chinese gov
eminent has been persuaded to sign
projects for the Tien Tsin-C Chin
Kiang and Che Kiang railroad loan,
and it is anxious that they go
through while the agitation in these
provinces which has attended the
rights of recovery movement is in
allegiance.
Recent edicts from the throne
against the agitation have not had
entire effect, but they have brought
about a change for the better in the
tone of comment appearing in the
| native press. Certain members Of
the government are doubtful of the
ultimate outcome of the measures
adopted by the throne, they resent
someiof them, and they are not con-
WINGED of the sincerity of the govern
| ments in extending repressive mea.
suresf to the provinces.
| China has at present eight impor-
tant questions on her hands aside
from negotiations with Great Brit
ain and Japan. Four of these mat
ters seriously threaten sovereignty
According to some observers here the
| government appears to be growing
weaker, but this is evidently due te
the fact that her contentious with
theEpowers and her international diff:
ficulties have come up at the same
time and she has failed to make use
of the abilities of Yuan ,A,kai, VIII,
complains that his hands are tiet
and powerless.

SULTAN OF
MOROCCO
BOUNCED
BY BROTHER

Fee, Jan. 11.-Mulai Hafid. brother
of the sultan of all Morocco, Abdel-
Aziz, who some moths ago was pro-
claimed sultan at Morocco city, was
proclaimed sultan at Fee on Jan. 4,
the sultan of record having been for
mally deposed.
The latest reports state that Fey
is in an uproar and there is great
danger of lawless outbreaks and
massacre Couriers are now OF heir
way to Morocco city to summon
Mulai Hafid to Fee and it is under
stood that he will receive strong s,!p-
port as sultan on condition that ne
meets the demands of the people,
which in :. lde the abolition of taxes
and suppression of all relations with
Europeans.
Tie French government is greatly
wrought III about the proclamation
of Mulai Hafid as sultan and tie
declaration of a holy war at Fez
France and Spain are acti g official
ly.
The powers must recognize ADD
el-Aziz as sultan so long as the Of
fetal government remains in his
hands. But Mulai Hafid in the last
year has shown unexpected strength
in the development of his forces anu
the present situation means an in
definite prolopgation OF stay of the
French and Spanish troops in Moroc-
&C.
Much antag onism mas been aroused
against Abdel-Aziz because of his
close relations with Europeans, and
it was because of this friendly asso-
citation that Mulai Hafid and his fol.
lowers were able to arouse the fan
atheism of the southern Moors. 1t is
reported that even the imperial
troops at Fee have announced their
allegiance to the newly proclaimed
sultan. The French and Spanish
governments, therefore. already are
taking steps to increase the policing
force at various coast cities where
Europeans would be in most danger

DlTiONS HERE

New York, Jan. 11-After a visit to
this country to investigate the move
ment for woman's suffrage, Mrs Cob
den Sanderson, the English suffragist,
sailed for home today on the steam
ship Lusitania.
She said: MY trip to America has
shown me that the best women in
America are making valiant efforts in
the movement for woman's suffrage.
By the best women, mean women of
the working classes. do not mean
women of the upper classes, because
the latter are Indifferent to the
work"

once and the case OF the State VS..
Fred linn was ordered resubmittei
to that grand jury. The second grand
jury was summoned and nineteen Of
the persons drawn appeared in court
The judge excused two Of them on
their request, based upon the fact
that they were exempt from service
They were excused just before the
jurors were called together in open
court for the purpose of being examiu-
ed and sworn.
Upon the examination of the jurors
two were excused as exempt on ac-
count of age, one by consent and
four were excused on challenges.
This left ten persons qualified to act
as grand jurors. Thereupon the court
ordered that the officers designated.
by law to draw the names Of four per-
sons to serve in place of the four
persons who were not served with
the venire and did not appear. A fur
thers order was made at the same
time commanding the summoning Of
nine other persons To serve In place
OF the nine who were excused on
challenges. George Leonard, a de-
putty sheriff, was appointed as the Of
ficer to summon these last named
jurors. The grand jury was thereaf-
ter empanelled and sworn and pro
ceeded with the discharge of its du>
ties and found an Indictment against
Fred linn and also indictments
against others for violation of the
prohibition law Of the state. Upon be-
ing arraigned linn moved to SEP aside
the indictment for the following
grounds:
I. That talesmen were summoned
by the deputy sheriff and not by the
sheriff.
T q That the panel was completed by
the summoning of talesmen when it
should have been done by ordering
names drawn by the officers compris-
ing the board to draw names Of iur-
ors.
8. That the discharge of the fret
jury and the calling of the second
jury was unwarranted and illegal.
4. That no notice was given to the
attorneys of the drawing of the Sec
ond jury, as provided by section 522,
R. c. 9105. a
5. That the assistant attorney gan.
eral and other persons were present
before the grand jury, not as wit
nesses, while witnesses were under
examination.
6. That the names of all witnesses
examined before the grand jury il
said case are not Endorsed on the in
dictment.
Z. That the court refused to hear
evidence in support of challenges to
jurors.
8. That challenges to jurors on ac-
count of bias in having formed fixed
opinions as to guilt of the parties un,
der investigation were overruled.
8. That the officers comprising the
board to draw names of jurors acted
irregularly and threw out the names
of persons drawn without authority.
Under the view of the supreme
court Of the law applicable to the
facts disclosed by the record, the
higher court had but one question to
determine and that question was: do
the facts entitle the petitioner 20 q
writ OF prohibition? In other words.
did the district court have iurisdic-
ton to pass upon and decide the sew

not disputed that the district court
has Jurisdiction to summon and EN-
panel grand juries and also has the
jurisdiction OF the person Of linn and
OF the offenses with which he was
charged Hence it irrefutably APP

OTHERS ALONG THE LINE

A mass meeting will be held at
Anatone tomorrow evening for the
purpose of a further discussion of

formation conveyed to the city this

CLUB HAS SELECT
ED ENGINEER WALTER II,
GRAVES TO INVESTIGATE TIE
DAM AT FIVE-MILE

Engineer Walter Graves of tho
Waha-Lewiston Land and Water
company will leave Sunday for Pas
co, where he will make an investi-
cation of the dam project of the
Benton Land and Water company In
behalf of the Lewiston Commercial
club.
Mr.. Graves was yesterday select
ed by committee composed of DR.. J.
B. Morris, A. G. Wisner and j. H.
ham to make this important investi-
cation for the club, the expenses of
such investigation to be borne by
the irrigation company.
The matter of damming the Snake
river was presented to the CONNER
cial club several weeks ago and me-
gotiations were entered into for an
inspection to be made at the expense
of the Benton company. No furth-
er action was taken until the Benz
ton company endeavored to secure
the passage of the necessary permits
from congress.
The local club then became active,
with the result of the appointment
of Mr.. Graves and the early trip to
Pasco to make the inspection.
The company's plans provide for
the construction Of an immense dam
across the Snake river in the vicini-
ty of Five-Mile rapids, with suitable
locks to permit of an uninterrupted
passage of river boats. The view is
generally held that action by local
organizations is of little conse-
quence, as the careful inspection OF
the war department, with the strict
requirements for all construction
where the traffic of stream is con-
cerned is a sufficient guarantee that
no embarrassment to transportation
will be permitted.

Wants BRIDGE
FOR COTTONWOOD
ALSO ASKS THAT THE LOUIS
CLARK ROAD FROM CLIFFORD
TO COTTONWOOD BE OPENED
-ovERsEERS' REPORTS

The county commissioners were
this morning petitioned to construct
a bridge across Cottonwood. near the
old Myrtle postofice site and award
a contract for the opening OF the
Louis Clark road from Clifford to
Cottonwood creek.
The petitions were presented by
George w. McKern, who explained
the needs of the improvement asked.
The crossing of the creek, under
present conditions, is often impossi-
BILE because of high water, and the
proposed road will tap large wheat
district and materially lessen the
cost of grain delivery.
The inspection of road overseers'
reports is still occupying much OF
the attention Of the commissioners.

Lewiston are well in hand and the
city is protected by the strictest en-
forcement of the quarantine rules"

danger of spread of the disease and
little trouble will be experienced In
stamping it out If the people will CO.
operate with the officials in treating
the cases.
"The chief danger lies in afflicted
persons visiting public houses and
mingling with crowds after the dis
ease has broken out, and the only
way this danger can be reduced Is
for all citizens to promptly report .
suspected case"
The men who were taken to the
pesthouse are reported to be doing
