DIRECT PRIMARL EVASION.

The Boise Statesman is authority |
for the statement that some leading
politicians have decided upon holding
state convention to recommend
state ticket and then submit their
recommendations to the people for
rejection or endorsement. This is one
way of evading the direct primary law.
1t is a good scheme. 1t has been tried
and successfully used in Oregon. The
Tribune has known all along that
such a plan was in contemplation, and
that sooner or later the idea would be
sprung. We can see no objections to
the idea. The people are commencing
to realize that they have white ele-
plant on their hands in the direct pri-
mary law, and are casting about for
some plan of evading the intent and
purpose of the law. The plan pro-
posed is practical. 1t will give the
people a chance and yet do away with
some of the evils of the direct primary
system. 1t is probably the best plan
that can be worked out. The objec-
ton is that it will give the politician
an immense advantage. That, how
ever, seems to be the whole idea of
the direct primary law, so that no.
body can have serious objections to
the plan. There is and can be no
provision of law prohibiting the
peaceful assemhlage of the members
of a political party, or their chosen
delegates, to petition or recommend
The plan is the only practical one nu.
der the law; but it's suggestion shows
the blooming idiocy of the direct pri
mary system. If the people woulC
stop following political charlatan
and attend to their duties as citizens
they would not be lead into such ride
ulous plights. The direct primary
what the people thought they wanted
They cried for it, and now that the
have 1t, they don't know what to d
with 1t.
The Tribune imagines that such
convention will be hot number; an
that it will make some choice recon
mendations. We can look forward
a few years of hilarity in Idaho pol
tics. We have a sample of what
coming to US in Oregon and Wasl
ington.

GERMANS DENY
SENATE REPORT
DID NOT SUPPLY ALLEGED
FALSE STATISTICS
BAD IMPRESSION is CREATED
AMONG BERLINERs
Foreign Office Communication Causes
Bitter Attacks on Government
and the Denunciation of
"Impudent Yankees"
TBy Associated Press.l

RERTIN. June 1.-The charges made
by various American senators that the
German government was endeaNorlHS
to influence tariff legislation in the
United States by supplying ofnclal IN
formation regarding wages which upon
examination proved to be much higher
than the wages attributed to German
manufacturers in the hearing before the
ways and means committee OF the
house, has caused a disagreeable i'm
preston in governmental offices here.
This is especially the case in the min
istry of the interior and the foreign
office. where the information in ques-
ton was prepared in reply to a request
sent in by the state department.
The German government has been
subjected during the last two months
to attacks by German trade journals
for having supplied America with Ger
man trade secrets.
This knowledge of German wages, it
is alleged, made it possible to adjust the
new tariff to a level where German
goods could not be exported to the
United States.
The abstract of the foreign Offices
communication through Ambassador
Hill to the state department appeared
in these dispatches March 20, and was
later reproduced in the German news
papers
1t brought savage attacks on the gov
eminent for yielding to the "impudent
demands of the Yankees" for official
reports on wages, thus arming Ger
many's competitors with vital informa-
ton. The mass of reports was first
coqated in the ministry of the interior,
and then in the trade division of the
foreign office.
1t was transmitted about March 27,
and arrived at Washington about April
s. Some surprise is expressed here that
for two months the material apparent
ly did not reach the American con-
gress, or If it did reach either house
it must have been pigeon-holed.
German officials have been enduring
attacks at home, but they are amazed
at the accusations from America that
they acted strangely in complying with
the request of the American govern
ment. The matter is likely to come up
in the reichstag.

FORMER SECRETARY
N. S. G. W. ARRESTED
SAN FRANCISCAN ACCUSED OF
ENLIGHTENMENT
six-thousand-dollar Shortage Alleged,
but Specific Charge Involves
Only .5o-Was Promi-
nent Native Son

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-Charles
H. Turner, former grand secretary OF
the Native Sons Of the Golden West,
was placed under arrest tonight on
warrant charging him with felony en-
bezzlenent in connection with the al
legged shortage of more than $4,000 in
his accounts.
The complaint on which the warrant
was issued was signed by Daniel A.
Ryan, acting president of the organic
alton in the absence of President
Knowland. 1t specifically charges
Turner with the felonious embezzle-
ment of $13750 Bail was fixed at slO'-
600 bond or $4,000 cash. UP to late
hour tonight there was no indication
that surety for Turner's release would
be presented before tomorrow.
The determination to bring action
against Turner was reached at meet
ing of the grand trustees today. After
celebrating for two hours they unan-
mously voted instructions to Ryan to
proceed with the prosecution
1t was argued by the trustees thaI
on previous occasions where shortages
had been found in the books of the or
ganization no legal steps had peeIi
taken and thus a bad precedent had
been established which 1t was time u
break away from.
Turner was arrested at his home. He
would make no statement tonight out
side of a declaration that he would not
pay the society any money and Would
never wear stripes. The full amount OF
the shortage in his accounts is alleged
to be $500.

SAN FRANCISCO. June lotto e.
Schroeder, formerly clerk in a Los An

parents in Germany, the recent an
nouncement of whose engagement to
Miss Ida H. Taggart of Monrovia was
quickly followed by a summons for him

admission into the German army, but
he has finally resolved not to go home,
where fortune, to which he has fallen
heir, awaits him.
He will take the examination, how
ever, before returning to Los Angeles,
where he expects soon to be married.

SAYS 5000 LYNCHfD
IN QUARTER CENTURY
WOMAN TALKS TO NATIONAL
NEGRO CONFERENCE
Calls Untrue Statement of John Tenn
pie Graves That Mob Pro-
tects Women of South.
Taft Criticised

NEW YORK, June THAT 1854 men.
women and children have been
lynched in this country in the last
quarter of a century was the assertion
of Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett at the
national negro conference in this city
today. Asking why this was per-
mitted by a Christian nation, Mrs
Barnett quoted John Temple Graves
as saving the mob stands as
the most potential bulwark between
the women of the south and such a
carnival of crime as would precipltate
the humiliation of the negro race
All know this is untrue, Mrs. Barnett
said
1.-THE lynching record she added
"discloses the hypocrisy of the lynch
ers.'
Describing the riots at Springfield,
Ills. Mrs. Barnett said it was all be-
cause a white woman said that a
negro man had criminally assaulted
her. Later Mrs. Barnett said the
woman published a retraction, but the
lynched victims were dead.
William E. st. Claire, financial sec
rotary of the Frederick Douglass hos
pital at Philadelphia, criticized Presi-
dent Taft for what he said was Mr..
Tafts change in attitude toward the
negro.

VANCOUVER, B. c., June THAT
efforts are being made to burn steam
ers belonging to the Union Steamship
companys fleet of coasting boats, APP
pears from the blaze which occurred
yesterday on the steamer Cassiar when
that vessel was on her way into port
from the north.

quences. Last week the Coquitlam

badly damaged Three deaths have
occurred as a result of the Coquitlam
blaze.
Yesterday the Cassiar was off the
village of Sechelt, coming to Vancou-
yer, when flames started to come from
her hold. The fire was extinguished
so quickly that the point of it's origin
was discovered to be a large package
of hay and cotton batting saturated
with coal oil.
A halfreed became so excited at
the time of the fire that he jumped
overheard and was drowned,
When the steamer arrived this morn
ing the deckhands and firemen desert

WANTS FEDERAL OFFICERS
TO EXPLAIN CONTROVERSY
LaFoIIette to Summons Men to Tell
Why Nage and North
Disagreed

WASHINGTON, June Incident to
the nomination of e. Dana Durand to
be director of the census, Senator La
Toilette, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on census, intends to summon
certain officials of the commerce and
labor department to explain the recent
controversy between Secretary Nagel
and former Director North, which re-
suited in the latter's retirement
The purpose of this investigation IS
not to determine the issues between the
two officials. The idea is to examine
the law and it's operation with view
to recommending some plan for the
future conduct of the census bureau in
order to prevent conflicts of authority.
There is no indication that the NOM
nation of Mr. Durand will be opposed.
1t is understood that w. S. Rossiter,
chief clerk of the census bureau, who
was slated to be assistant director
under the census bill now in confer
ence, will sever his connection with the
bureau to engage in business.

NEEDLE ENTERS W0MAN'S
HEEL; COMES OUT BREAST
After % Years Steel Silver Is Extract
ed Without Causing Pain to
Victim

CHICAGO, June 1.-Just % years ago,
when Mrs. j. w. Knee was a girl, liv-
ing at the home of her parents, she
stepped on a needle, burying it in her
right heel. Yesterday the steel silver,
after circulating upward the entire
length of her body, made it's appear
ance about as far removed as possible
from the point from where it entered,
and was removed without causing any
sensation other than surprise.
The needle, as bright as when new,
was taken out, point first, from the
flesh to the left of Mrs. Knees breast, it
having crossed from the right side of
her body and in all probability started
on a downward course.
During all the years it was in her body
it had never created any physical dis
turbance, unless a temporary attack of
supposed rheumatism-the only attack
of the kind Mrs. Knee ever experienced
can be attributed to the ramblings of
the steel point.

raigned a. man charged with intoXica-
ton befof1 Justice of the Peace
Charles E. carlow, noticed that his
honor was swaying from side to side
with a motion that could mean but
two things-the court was drunk or
dizzy. Chief Carman watched his
lifelong friend for twenty minutes and
finally decided he was not dizzy.
Judge Barlow handed the prisoner a
pad and pencil and told him to write
out his own commitment. The man
helped himself to ten days and was
escorted to a cell.
Then Chief Carman returned and an
nounced to the court that it would
have to be locked up for it's own
safety. He put Judge Barlow in a cell
next door to the prisoner, and the pair
conversed in a friendly manner during
the afternoon. At an extraordinary
term of court last night Judge Bar
low was arraigned before an acting
Judge. He pleaded not guilty to the
charge of intoXication. His case was
adjourned, and in the meantime Chief
Carman will round up several wit
nesses to support his charge.

WANTS TRAFFIC BUREAU
TO BENEFIT MERCHANTS
Executive Committee Manufacturers
Association Recommends Per-
manent Establishment

CHICAGO, June 1.-The executive
committee of the national manufac-
turers has recommended the establish
ment of a permanent traffic bureau
with headquarters in New York. 1t
is stated that upon all questions af-
fecting the welfare of the shippers and
railroads jointly, the railroads always
present a solid front, whereas the ship
pers are usually divided, and their eff
forts to get justice are more or less
futile.
Among the things which it is hoped
the traffic bureau will be able to secure
are the following:
Simplicity in tariffs, prevention Of
unwarranted increases in minimum
carload weights, uniform re-consign-
ment privileges, a law giving the ship
per control over the routing of
freight, more prompt settlement of
freight claims, uniform classification,
the pooling of freight cars.
