CONGRESS

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Sept. 29.-The
sixteenth annual session of the Ma.
| tional Irrigation Congress was called
to order at 1920 this morning by
President Frank C. Goudy, of Denver,
with the 1000 seats in convention
hall occupied and crowd clamoring
for admittance to the gallery. Nearly
l 500 delegates were present, and the
arrivals today will swell the number
to more than 1900.
After welcoming addresses by the
Mayor and by Governor Curry, Presi-
dent Goudy delivered his address. An
address by Gen. Franklin Bell, U. s..
A, and responses by foreign delegates
occupied the remainder of the fore
noon session. The foreigners have an
important part in the program, and
their presence is giving much inter
est to the work of the congress.
demonstration lasting several
minutes was made when the military
band sent here by the government of
Mexico played "Star Spangled Ban

The singing of the Irrigation Ode by
a chorus of 100 voices also aroused
enthusiasm.
By the rules of the convention all
resolutions will be referred to the
resolutions committee. 1t is predicted
that an effort will be made to inject

MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL
Determined Effort for New Trial
in Fleming Case

Another spectacular scene was added
to the trial of John Fleming for the
murder of Frank Langford when the
case was called up by Judge Walters in
the district court at O'Clock last Mon
day. A new chapter was added to the
case when John J. Halloran, lawyer
of Des Moines, Iowa, appeared on the
scene and placed the defense of the
prisoner in the hands of Hawley, Puck
EFT & Hawley of Boise.
This new turn of affairs was brought
about by Douglass Fleming, a wealthy
mine owner of Des Moines, Iowa, who
is brother of the prisoner, and has
assumed the responsibility of financing
the defense.
John ]. Halloran, Jas. H. Hawley
and VIM H. Pickett were on hand
when the case was called and Mr.. Haw-
ley took personal charge of the defense
after John PEBBLES had stated to the
court that Judge J. C. Rogers and him
self had withdrawn entirely from the
defense and the same wa.s now in the
hands of Messrs. Hawley & Puckett.
Mr.. Hawley at once arose and made a
motion for new trial, stating the legal
reasons therefor and asking for a ninety
days limit in which to formulate and
present a written brief sustaining the
verbal motion, and the court granted
the time asked for.
The prisoner was then called to the bar
and Judge Walters sentenced him to be
hung by the neck till dead, on the 4th
day of December, 1908, by the warden
of the state penitentiary.
During all this trying ordeal, John
Fleming was totally unmoved and
showed no sign Of fear or nervousness.
The defense will, no doubt, petition the
or the board of pardons to
grant reprieve till after the 18th of
January when the time limit Of the
motion for new trial expires.

GREEKS WILL BE GOOD NOW
We're Looking for Trouble but
Found More than They Wanted

Prosecuting Attorney Disney and
Probate Judge Fuller were surprised
and somewhat shocked last Wednesday
to be confronted by the deputy sheriff
of Bliss having in tow four redoubtable
Greeks bearing smashed heads and bat
tered faces and looking as if they had
passed through two or three wars for
independence. The surprise lay in the
fact that these big, battered hulks of
humanity were charged with assault or
melting a riot. Mr.. Disney preferred
the latter charge to which the prisoners
plead guilty and Judge Fuller fined
them each S25 and costs which they
managed to dig up. The Judge refused
to allow them to return to Bliss except
to let one of their number go after the r
plunder and when that was secured he
ordered them to leave the county.
This might seem to be rather rough
on the poor sinners but they only got
what they deserved.
The Greeks on the section gangs at
Bliss have long given a lot of trouble,
assaulting their bosses and running them
off, and kicking up a rumpus on any and
every occasion. This gang was recent
ly discharged and ordered to leave
which they refused to do. Instead they
held the bunk house and refused to let
the new men go to work. On Wednes
day morning they attacked the new men
and their boss but this was once too
many The two bosses. Anton Kessen
and o. J. Hallberg assisted by the dep
uty sheriff of Bliss and perhaps friend
or two charged them in body and the
offending Greeks went down like nine
pins IN a bowling alley before their des-
perate rush. And after they got them
down they didn't do thing to them
except well, it did look as though they
got all that was coming to them. 1t is
to be hoped that they left the county
wiser, if not better men.

Republican Candidate for
Governor Speaks to
Large Crowd
Tells How Republicans Have In
creased State Revenues and
Expended Them Well

Hon. James H. Brady. republican
nominee for governor. spoke to a good
audience in Shoshone, Tuesday night
Mr. Brady is not an orator of the
fiowery type though he gives the peo-
pie the impression of a man who knows
precisely what he wants to do, and tells
them how he is going to do it. 1t was
a business grafton, heart -to-heart talk
of condition as they are. that rivited
the attention of the audience from the
first word to the last. He does not tell
funny stories, he does not use long
words; he goes at the heart of things
in a business way, and he is captivat-
ing the people of the state wherever
he goes. In particular did his defence
of the principle Of spending money
appeal to the hearers. The support of
the university, of the humane in
stitutions Of new insane
asylum and an industrial school for the
training of neglected youth who might
become hardened criminals if not cared
for, of these and other humane things
that the state could not do without,
showed that he had thought deeply on
the question of money and what it viii
bring. His showing of the great gains
made by the state depository law, the
fish and game department, the Office of
the secretary of state, the land board,
and other departments that formerly
hardly paid their own way but are now
great revenue producers, was of the
highest order.
Mr.. Brady made many friends, and
presumably votes, by his business lice
showing of the affairs of state, here in
ShoshOne.

Discussion of Merits of
Proposed Constitution
al Amendment
Facts Which Voters Should Care
fully Consider Before Casting
Ballot on November Srd

An eminent legal authority has ia
vored the Journal with the following
contribution in regard to the proposed
constitutional amendment. 1t is well
worth careful reading and thought.
At the general election held next
month the voters will have presented
for their acceptance or rejection pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
abolishing the probate courts and es-
tablishing the jurisdiction Of the district
courts to all matters of probate, ard
making the county the unit of jurisdic-
tional boundry, thus creating district
court for each county of the state, ex-
cept that for the present certain coun-
ties are attached to form one district,
as follows: Ada and Boise, Cassia and
Lincoln, Custer and Lemhi, Elmore and
Blaine, Owyhee and Canyon.
A most serious objection to the pro
posed change, which directly affects the
taxpayers would be the enormously in
creased cost of the proposed system
over the present plan. Under the pres
ent judicial system in this state there
are seven district judges, receiving
SO, 10000 each per annum, and seven
stenographic reporters receiving 81, 800
each per annum, thus making the total
cost for salaries for judges and ste
nographers the sum of S3S, 10000.
Under the proposed plan there would
for the present land the number would
be shortly insreased) sixteen district
Judges whose saleries would average
81, 500. 90 each and this would shortly
be increased and necessarily the same
number of stenographic reporters who
might be obtained for less than the sum
paid under the present plan, as the work
would be less. But if S1,S0o.00 each
were paid the stenogaphers (they are
now receiving 81, 5O000) it would then
make the total cost for salaries for dis
trict judges and stenographers cost the
amount of sos, 10000 or almost double
the cost of our present plan.
1t may be urged that in making the
above calculation the saving of the sal
aries of the abolished Office, the Probate
Judgship was not taken into consider
alton.
1t is asserted that no saving in this
regard will be effected whatever as
now the Probate Judge performs the
duty of Examining Magistrate in most
of the offenses afterwards to be tried
in the district court and in many of the
counties, especially the smaller ones,
the Probate Judge likewise tries most
of the petty and minor offenses, and
receives only his salary and no extra
compensation.
Thus if the probate court is abolished
all preliminary examinations and all
trials for petty and minor offenses will
then be tried in the various justice of
the peace courts. for which service the
Justice of the peace is paid on fee
basis from the county treasury. SO
that in effect the money now paid as
salary to the probate judge will be paid
as fees to the various justices of the

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL OPENING
Great Rush for Land in the King
Hill Project.

The King Hill land opening, Monday,
came near breaking all records for land
sales. Close to 5000 acres of land at
sos an acre was sold as fast at the reg
istrars could make out the cotracts;
and more sales are being reported daily
so that by the close of the week there
will hardly be an acre of good land left
on the whole project of 1000.
The day was ideal-for wonder, too,
as the last six landopenings in Arid
Idaho, beginning at Miner last April
and up to the Salmon River opening in
June, have brought rain or snow. An
immense crowd was in attendance, per-
haps 1,5O0 in all; while many others
had come before, looked over the land,
and left their powers of attorney. Near
ly 700 persons registered for drawings.
The only dissatisfaction expressed
was that there was not enough of the
land for all the applicants to get what
they wanted. Applications were filed
tor almost three times the area of land
to be opened.
The company had made ample pre-
parations for handling big crowd, and
the immense crowd was as well cared
for as if in Boise or some city.
A wonderful future can be predicted
for the King Hill country, as the buyers
are largely experienced fruit men, or
men who want to go into fruit raising,
and the liable king Hill Fruit" is one
day going to be the key to the highest
priced, most exclusive markets in the
country.

Joke is on The Major

Major Reed tells a good joke on him
self this week. Some time ago. he re-
ceived an invitation to attend a wedding
at Jerome Now. there is nothing the
Major enjoys better than wedding,
where people are happy; and he gather
ed up a munifcent gift, his good clothes
and a speech, and set sail across the
prairie to be in attendance. He reach
ed the place all right. to be reminded
that he had forgotten the date. and
that he was two days ahead of time.
1t isn't often that the genial Major is
non-plussed, but he was this time.
