SCHEME TO FLEECE
IDAHO SETTLERS
Uncovered by Public Lands Commit
tees of Legislature Now Sit
ting at Boise.

Boise, Idaho. Feb 2-Dlsclosures of
a sensational nature have just come to
light. ami like others of late. it hoyers
like q vulture close to the state house.
The joint committees OF public lands
of both branches Of the legislature are
now in possession of documents and
information which reveals a deeply
laid scheme to fleece a great number
of settlers in Shoshone county, bri6e
certain members of the legislature and
wrest from the state land board title
to great areas of land which, if carried
through, would have been one of the
most fragrant deceits ever perpetrated
upon an innocent public. The man,
who seems to be working the machln-
cry OF the whole AFFAIR, is resident
of Farrell, Idaho, who is now in Boise,
at work on his plans. but fortunately
the bomb exploded In his own hands.
Representative Moorebeck Of ShoShone
county is one of the main factors in
bringing the affair TO light He was
one of the intended victims but he
proved himself too wise for the game.
1T seems that the lands in question.
representing nearly hundred home
steads in Shoshone county, were with
drawn by the state about the time set
tiers attempted to make the filings
with the federal land Offices and the
federal authorities recommended that
the state consider the rights OF set
tiers in the matter, many OF whom had
made extended Improvements upon
their claims. The case was a merl.
torious one and both political parties
last fall included IN their platforms a
clause directed toward the interests
OF settlers. and by legislative action,
it was supposed the rights of settlers
would be fully established and the
state land board make the grant
Now, 1t appears that man comes In
and represents to the settlers that he
was man who had big political
pull by which the case of the settlers
was injected into the platforms, and
that he, by virtue Of his political In
nuence and acquaintance. could get
the matter properly before the leglsla.
ture and state land board. but In order
to bring this about and get enough
votes won over it would take $3.50
from each settler. He guaranteed by
written agreement to do this If 40 of
the settlers would sign up. and he sue
ceeded In getting almost the full num-
Der, taking notes and mortgages for
the amount which aggregated neary
$4,000, which should be returned If
the proposition failed. 1t Is claimed
that certain members of the legisla-
| ture were IN with the man In the deal

Radical. Change 10 Be Made
IN Educational Methods
in New York


New York, March 17.-H plans sug-
gested by a special committee are
adopted, the New York public school
system, which now extends over a
period of twelve years-eight years
of elementary work and four years Of
high school work-will be changed:
to a six and six basis. Elementary
and high school work will be equal
lied, although the six years Of high
school work will be sub-divided into
two equal periods, the first to be
known as -sub-high school course and
the remainder to be finishing work.
The plan is approved by the City
club and by leading educators
throughout the country, including
Elmer Ellsworth Brown, United
States commissioner of education.
The National Education association.
at its latest meeting at Cleveland,
also adopted resolutions favoring the
plan. A member of the committee,
explaining the proposal, said:
Zone of the big features Of the
plan is that providing for turning
the child, whose circumstances or in
clination make it desirable, into the
training earlier than is now done.
Our present system aims at the train
ing of brain workers and ignores to
a great extent the training Of manual
arts. In the sub-high schools two
courses will be provided, one leading,
as at present, to the advanced work
of the regular high schools and pre-
paratory for college: The other in
the sub-high schools will be of an
industrial or vocational order, lead
ing to the work of the manual train
ing high school, or to other trade
schools, such as are planned by the
state"

Decision Reached at Confer.
ence Of Railroad Execu.
tfyes Of Missouri Lines

Chicago, March 17.-Western rail-
roads are going to bend every ener-
gy toward bringing about a return
to Scent basis for passenger fares
in all states, and have already deci-
ded to file Scent tariff for the state
of Missouri, to taffe effect in April.
AS soon after this date as possible
the interstate rates will be raised
to be in line with the Scent rate
through Missouri.
This decision was reached yester-
day at a conference between presi-
dents and vice presidents of Mis-
souri, roads, neld in the Office of B.
L. Winchell, president of the Rock
Island road. The officials were
unanimous in the poinion that full
advantage should be taken of the le-
gal opinion Of Judge Mcpherson in
the Missouri case, although there
was, at first, some sentiment in fav-
or of accepting the courts sugges-
tion that IL cents be charged by
the 'strong" roads and cents by
the weak" roads. ~
One. or two of the presidents
thought that If the suggestion Of the
court was accepted, it might allay
hostile measures by the state 1egis-
1atures, but finally came to the con-
c1usion that the sworst the roads
could get from litigation would be
q IL cents. ..a<.

1t is generally understood that Sen.
ator Hansbrough's appointment was
made in recognition Of his long and
faithful service in the United States
ssenate and the further fact that he
has not been able to provide himself
for his old age on the salary he re-
ceived as public servant. The sen

suit of long service on committees
dealing with these and alleged sub

important task assigned him. Sen

equally as valuable as On investi-

Mr.. Wickersham is said to be one OF
the shrewdest preparers of legal cam

into the courts, as he is expected to
merely map out the work for other
less brilliant lawyers to follow up.
He is graduate of the law school Of
the University Of Pennsylvania, where
he received his degree in 1880. He
pacticed for two years in Philadelphia
and then went with the present firm
as their law clerk. He was given
in 1887. z
