LATAH ENDORSES DUBOIS

MOSCOW, Idaho, April 2O.-Any
doubt that the democratic party of
Latah county would reafEirm the
stand taken by the party during the
last two state campaigns on the Nor
mon question was given a severe jolt
in the meeting of the county central
committee of the party. The COM
mittee voted as a unit In the adop-
ton of resolutions which indorse the
position taken by former Senator Du-
bois on the Mormon question for the
last four years and which demand
enforcement of the so-called test
oath" in all elections.
The committee by resolution COM
mended the action of the republican
supreme court of the state for its re-
cent decision declaring the state con-
stitution self operative in the matter
of DISTINGUISHING those who are MEM
bers of an organization which teaches
or breaches plural or celestial mar
rage.

county to the Twin Falls convention

INN TEAM WINS
Interesting and Closely Contested
Game.

Interesting and Closely Contested
Game.
Occur d'Alene Inn 10, Lakewood
II. That was the score of the game
played yesterday afternoon between
the two teams at Woodlawn park.
Manager Blanchard had made ar
rangements for three players to par
tieipate in the game along toward the
last, but they failed to come, and this
operated as a great disappointment to
him and forced him to make use Of
what material he could obtain. The
game was not a fast one and many
errors were made by players on both
sides, and the game was won by the
Inn team, as the above score will
indicate, but by a narrow margin.
Howell was hit freely and in the
sixth was replaced by Hoosie. who did
fair work until the eighth, when he
allowed four men to walk in in sue
cession. Howell was replaced in the
ninth and redeemed himself by strik-
ing out three men in succession.
Cookston was scheduled to pitch yes
terday's game, but because of a
sprained ankle he was unable to do
50. The work of Scott at left field
received frequent applause. and
WIcks on third played a star game.

The crowd in attendance was large
and had the men Mr.. Blanchard de-
pended on participated in the game
it would have meant a walkover for
the home team.

VALUABLE LAND
IN CONTEST CASE
Charges of Fraud and Collision
Made Against Owner

This forenoon was the date set by
the original notice OF contest for a
hearing In the case OF DR.. Charles ].
Klnsolving vs.. John Shannon In the
United States land ONCE. but the case
by agreement OF council on both sides
has been continued over until May Is.
The case is In the character OF a
contest. involving land situated in
section 3. township ~ north, range
3 east, and the charges preferred by
Kinsolying In his afidavit OF contest
against Shannon are both sensational
and serious. The notice In the case
sets out that the afIidavit OF contest
was fled July Is, 1907, and states
that in this afIidavit Kinsolving
charges Shannon with having entered
into an agreement prior to his entry
of the land with one William Nc
Cartor for the conveyance OF half
interest in 1t, and that this agree
ment was recorded with the county
auditor of Shoshone county.
The charge Is further made In the
affidavit that Shannon. after making
final proof OF the land and receiving
his final receipt, conveyed the land to
one Joseph II. Shannon, who. It IL
alleged by the maker OF the afIldavit.
conveyed II to Roy hammers and the
McGOldrick company. II Is alleged
that the money paid the United States
for the land by shannon was fur
nished by parties in consideration
that those parties should receive
part OF the consideration received by
Shannon for the sale OF the land TO
hammers and the McGoldrick Lum-
Der company. The affiant further al
leges that according to this informa-
ton and belief the sum paid for the
land by hammers and the McGoldrick
Lumber company amounted to $4,000,
and that Shannon received as his pOr-
tion OF this amount $4,000, the re-
mainder going to the parties who fur
nished him with the final proof
money as a consideration for their
loan.
A hearing OF the case will be had
on May 10. and in the event that the
charges made by Or. Kinsolvlng are
sustained II will mean the cancella-
ton of the Shannon entry.

LEWISTON, Idaho, April 2O.-As
the result of wreck on the Riparia
division of the o. r. & N. railroad,
four miles north of Almota, two men
were killed and IL injured at 8
O'Clock this morning, the dead and
wounded reaching the city on a work
train this afternoon. Melvin C.
Ewalt, 26 years old, brakeman, was
instantly killed, and F. Hara, Jap
anese laborer, met the same fate
when the work train ran into a huge
boulder on the track.
Little is known as to how the ac-
cident happened, but the wreck is
under investigation. The dead and
injured were employed on the work
train engaged in construction work
on the new railroad, and the train
was backing up the track when 1t
crashed into a huge boulder. Ewalt
was riding on the first car, but gave
no signal to the engineer who was
running the train. 1t is not known
whether the rock rolled down just
as the train rounded a sharp curve,
or whether it had been lying on the
track for some time.
Five work cars were demolished
and the Japanese crew. who were
riding on the fiat car, were thrown
into the air when the wreck oc-
Cured.
Ewalt is not known by his fellow
employees, as he recently was trans
ferred from another division. 1t is

N. D., but no record is kept by the
officials on this division. His body
lies at Vassar's morgue by the side
Of the dead Japanese. awaiting dis
position by his friends or relatives.
Eleven injured Japanese are rest
ing easily at st. Joseph's hospital,
and DR.. ]. B. Morris, who dressed
their wounds, said that none of them
is fatally injured. and all of them
will recover.

mistic of the railroad officials do not
hope to reopen traffic before Tues

WASHINGTON. April 1S.--The di.
vision OF far eastern affairs OF the
state department has just been In
formally created by department or
der issued by Secretary Root. al
though Il has been in practical opera
ton for some months. Huntington

perintendent OF the division: William
Philips. former second secretary of
the Picking legation, has been made

China, assistant chief.
This division. which was decided
upon by Mr.. Root last summer, upon
Mr.. Wilson's suggestion. Is for the
administration OF political and com
mereial AFFAIRS In the far east, and Is
regarded as the first step toward the
organization of the foreign consular
and diplomatic service into three or
possibly four great politico- geograph-
Teal divisions. The other divisions
contemplated, and which probably
will be formally created as soon as
the far eastern division has been es-
established as a successfully working
organization, will be a division OF
southern Europe and Asia. 4 division
OF northern Europe and British
America. and a division Of Latin
America.
According to the tentative plan
drawn by Secretary Root. Robert
Bacon. assistant secretary Of state.
will be given general supervision OF
the Latin-Ameriean division: A. A.
AIDE. second assistant secretary. viii
be given supervision Of the European
and African diyision--that IL. II
Europe Is divideed into two divisions
with an assistant. providing con
gress will authorize Il, to have direct
charge Of one OF the divisions under
him.
This step Is regarded in oficlal cir
eles as one OF the most important yet
introduced IN foreign Affairs.

Wallace Makes Preparations to Care
for Delegates.
WALLACE, Idaho, April 2O.-On
May IL Wallace will play host on the
most elaborate scale thus far in the
city's history, when the republican
state convention meets here. Not
only are entertainments arranged for
the visitors, but the city will be in
gala attire, draped in bunting and
flags by day and lighted by so cleo
trio street arcs at night. Local re-
publicans are determined that the
first state convention held in this city
will be made an occasion long to be
remembered, and are sparing no
pains to prepare for the event.
The delegates from the northern
counties are expected to arrive May
IL, the day before the convention.
Delegates from the southern part of
the state will come on a special train
of 10 coaches, and they are expected
early on the morning of May IL.
Southern Idaho delegates will prob
ably be met by reception commit
tee several stations below the city,
and on alighting from the train here
will be GREETED by least one band
and probably two, as local republi-
cans expect to get the Mullan organi-
cation in addition to the Wallace
band for this occasion. The conven-
ton will meet at 10 o'clock in the
Masonic temple theater, and it is
stated that the theater will be dec
GRATED as never before. Decorations
have been placed in the hands of a
committee headed by Andy Nelson,
window trimmer for the Occur
d'Alene Hardware company, and who
ranks as one of the best decorators
in the west. There will be draperies
and festooning, and, of course, large
portraits of famous republicans.
For street decorations so immense
flags, in addition to a large number
the city already owns, have beeen or
dered, and these will be strung across
the streets between nearly every
pair of telephone poles in the down
town district. Electric arcs, which
the city council has already arranged
to be installed, to be used on special
occasions, will be on hand by that
time.
The day following the convention
visiting delegates will be taken to
Burke and be shown through one of
the big mines, after which they will
be escorted to Wardner and shown
through the Bunker Hill and Sulli-
van. the biggest lead mine in the
world. Following this Wallace re-
publicans will escort the delegates to
Harrison. From there a special
train will be sent around by the way
of Tekoa, while the visitors will join
the special train at Spokane.
