the pressing and dissgreeable necessity
of selecting a new premier for his cab
met? This was the question that all Of
fetal Washington was confronted with
this morning.
Senator Knox was last elected for a
six-year term, which will not expire
until March 3, 1911. The constitution
prohibits the appointment of a senator
to an Office created, or the salary of
which has been increased during the
term for which he was elected.
So the question is whether, under this
uncOntroveTtible state of affairs, Sen
stor Knox can lawfully succeed Robert
Bacon as secretary of state on March 4.
The senator himself is a good deal per-
turbed over the question, and today
held frequent consultations with per-
sonal friends. especially those of a legal
turn of mind.

Repeal Only Way Out.

Tie general consensus of opinion on
both sides of the senate chamber was in
accordance with Senator Hale's view
that the situation should be remedied
by the repeal of the law in so far as it
affected the Office of the secretary of
state, but there were a few dissenting
voices on he Democratic side. Senator
Rayner. himself an eminent legal au-
thority, after canvassing both sides of
the chamber, expressed the view that
repeal offered the only feasible course
out of the difficulty.
Senator Knox did not reach the capt.
toll until l o'clock. He was Immediately
sought out by number of his seq
atOriai friends, who were in close con-
ference with him, but to the reporters
he would say nothing whatever regard
ing the report of his ineligibility for the
Office of secretary of state.

An UntensbIe Position.

1t is believed that Ser VI Knox s
friends win base their ion that
he is eligible for app, TINS to the
cabinet on the plea that by resigning
his senatorial office prior to March he
viii become a private citizen. The con-
stitutien does not prohibit the appoint
ment of a private citizen to such Office
under the existing conditions, hence Mr..
Knox might be regarded as eligible to
appointment as secretary of state after
March 4.
Senator Hale. discussing the situa-
ton, said:
THE portion of the law applying to
the Office OF the secretary of state can
be cancelled by legislation. and as the
law was never intended to apply in such
a case as that of Mr.. Knox. there is no
doubt that a bill with this end in view
viii be Immediately introduced. and
just as little doubt that it will be
passed"
Just before the senate adjourned to-
day Senator Hale introduced bill re-
pealing the portion of the act of 1907
which increases the salary of the secre-
tary of state.
In the house there was general &C
ceptanee of the suggestion for the re-
peal of the law standing in the way of
Senator Knox's transfer to the state
department, but il was not accepted by
them as feasible. Some members
raised the question, If, even after q re-
peal. he would not be prohibited. mas
much as the constitution forbids the
appointment to an office the salary of
which has been raised during the ap-
pointee's term as a member of con-
gress. nothing being said about the sub
sequent reduction OF the salary.

TO Open indian LANDS
Tentative Plans Said to Be
Fixed Upon.
SELECTIONS THIS SUMMER
But Entries Will Not be Completed
Before Spring.

A dispatch from Washington, D.
G.. dated May IA, has the following:
Tentative plans have been made
for opening TO settlement during the
coming three months of more than
1000, 600 acres Of land now embraced
In Indian reservations. These reser--
vations are the Culville. Wash, 400
900; Occur d'Alene, Ida, 3lO,O aud
the Flathead, Mont. 1900, 900. The
presidential proclamation will be
issued In few days prescribing the
manner in which these reservation
lands will be disposed Of.
Registration for lands will be made
from July 10 to August l5 at the
land offices at Spokane, Occur d'Alene
and Kalispel, Mont and the draw
ing by which priority of applications
to make selections is secured will be
held for all the reservation at Coeur
d'Alene on August II. The reserva-
tions contain some OF the finest
agricultural and grazing lands of the
west
The probabilities are that while
the drawing will be disposed OF and
the lucky persons notified late in
August and early September, they
will not be compelled to make actual
entry on the lands before the follow
ing spring. This will give full
opportunity for eastern settlers who
draw lucky numbers to visit the
localities aud make intelligent selec-
tions.
1t is believed by the western men,
bers of congress that the proposed
plan of opening will prove far more
satisfactory than those which have
been pursued in the past at other
reservations, as it will give full
opportunity for people Of the east to
visit. not only the reservation lands,
but the surrounding country.
Judge Witten of the general land
Office, who has had charge of all res
ervation openings for the past 10
years, will 70 to Montana in person
in the latter part of June to look
over the feld with view to making
definite arrangements for registration.

SPORTSMEN ARE CRITICAL

The Idaho State Sportsmen's asso.

of Council, in a forcible speech, de-
clared that the state game depart

$82, 900 has been spent from the fish

At NATIONAL CAPITAL
The Tariff Fight Still Goes
On.
D. c. WANTS AUTONOMY
But President Taft Opposes the
Idea Of Statehood.

Washington, D. c., May 25.-
Many interesting facts are being
brought to light in the tariff dis
cussions and there seems to be Z
disposition on the part of the sen
ate leaders to suppress, or at least
an unwillingness TO assist in pro
viding information that Senators
may be able to discuss tariff SUBJ
jects intelligently. Many members
are doing little digging into the
musty archives of the various de-
partments on their own account
with the result that much import
ant data has been unearthed.
There is strong probability now
that the President will be able to
sign the tariff bill as the senate
leaders declare that the measure,
as it comes from conference, will
fulfill the pledges made by the
republican party in the campaign
and as understood by President
Taft.
The usual custom of having the
Presidents summer home guarded
day and night will be carried out
this summer, and active prepara-
tons are being made by the secret
service for guarding the place
selected by Mr.. Taft at Beverly
Cove.
The District of Columbia has
again bestirred itself to achieve its
ambition for political autonomy
and for representation as a state in
the two houses of congress. The
most recent effort was made at the
dinner given recently in honor Of
President Taft by the Board of
Trade and the Chamber of Com
merce of Washington, when JUS
tice Stafford. of the District
supreme court, made plea for
the conversion of the federal dis
trict into a state. President Taft
emphatically discouraged the idea
and pointed out in his speech that
such an act would defeat the pur-
poses of the founders of the gov
ernment, and that it was chiefly to
escape the Inconvenience and
dangers of having a seat of govern
ment in a city where another
authority than their own was
recognized that Congress and the
Executive left Philadelphia and
settled in the wastes along the
Potomac.

OF the pupils and the skill and

OF the grade school and the second
by the high school.
The numbers on the program
were:

rumor appears to have had its basis
in the appointment of representatives
from this government TO arrange for
a refinancing of the foreign debt of

President Dayila has named Juan A..
