ATTORNEYS GUILTY
OF ILLEGAL ACTS
Secretary of Inteior Tells of
Disbarment Proceedings

WASHINGTON Jan. 3.-The i'm
proved methods of administration In
stituted by Secretary Garfield, having
for their purpose the simplification of
business without any loss in accuracy
or responsibility, have proven of great
value. SAYS the head of the department
of the interior in his annual report
made public yesterday. The report COW
ers a wide field, dealing as 1t does with
the work of the various bureaus en-
braced within its management, the ter
ritories, national parks and reserva-
tions, district of Columbia corporations.
etc.
Secretary Garfield calls attention to
certain INSCRIPTIONS and unprofes-
sional acts upon the part OF a number
of attorneys practicing before the de-
partment which resulted in their dis
barment Some of these have brought
mandamus suits for a restoration of
their names to the list of those entitled
to practice. These cases are now
pending. but "in the meantime" the sec
retary says, attorneys will be notified.
heard and disbarred in all cases where
am satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt
that their conduct as attorneys has
been disreputable, fraudulent. illegal or
undoubtedly unprofessional." The re-
cent patent office frauds, resulting in
the confession OF one defendant, the
conviction of another and the acQuittal
of the third. are touched upon. and the
statement is made that 1t was the first
case of the kind that had occurred in
the 118 years of patent office history.
The commissioner of patents, it Is
stated, has taken steps to provide addi-
tional safeguards around the filing of
patent papers.
Regarding the movement for the con-
servation of the natural resources Of
the country, Secretary Garfield said
that IT shows the people of the country
have fully awakened to the vital ne
cessity of caring for what is left of
the public domain.
The pension roll, as usual. piled UP
an enormous death rate, 50,676 names
having been removed on this account.
OF these 34.333 were soldiers and sail
ors OF the civil war. During the en-
tire year the total number of pension
ers on the roll was 1,006,053.

IDAHO LEGISLATURE
TO ELECT SENATOR
Local Option and Direct Pri-
mary Will Be Recommended

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 3.-The tenth ses-
sion of the Idaho Legislature. which
convenes at noon tomorrow, will elect a
United States senator. Representative
Paul CIagstone will be installed as
speaker of the house and Senator John
w. Hart will be selected president pro
tenn. of the senate.
The legislature is Overwhelmingly
republican. insuring the election of a
member of that party as United states
senator. Senator Weldon B. Hepburn
was indorsed by the republican state
convention, but during the last few
weeks rumors of an 1nsurgent move
ment have been rife and Senator Hey
burn Is now fastening from Washing
ton to Boise to give personal attention
to his candidacy.
The principal fight during the ses-
sion will be over local option. There
is strong opposition to it and the pres
ent outlook is that it will be defeated
through a compromise on precinct in
stead of county unit lines as pledged
in the republican platform.
Governor James II. Brady in his In
auguraI message will recommend the
enactment of local option and direct
primary laws and q public utilities
commission instead of railway com
mission.

Unfortunately for her plan. these wrongs were

Mr.. Fairman. He gently suggested to the angry

town that is worth repeating. There
lives there a woman who says that
she has immediate communion with
the Almighty. and now and then de-
livers to those of common clay a mes
sage that she has received from on
high. The fact that these messages
sometimes take on a very waterfalls
tic hue does not alter their effective
ness. In her opinion.
One day she went into the office of

him solemnly as one about to reveal
an awe-inspiring secret.

Of the trouble. She writes:
