IDAHO LAND FRAUD
TRIALS

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 15.-The Fed
eral district court convened here to-
day for the trial of the so-called
Kettenbach timber land fraud cases,
in which William F. Kettenbach of
Lewiston and several other wealthy
and prominent residents of northern
Idaho are charged with defrauding
the government out of valuable tim
Der lands. The cases were brought
here on change of venue from Mos
cow.
The three defendants, Messrs. Ket-
tenbach, Kester AMI Dwyer, Will be
tried on two counts of an Indictment
returned against them five years ago.
They have already been tried and &C
quilted on three counts of the indict-
ment. The other two were appealed
by the defendants to the United States
circuit court of appeals and remand
ed back to the Idaho district court
for retrial. The two counts charge
conspiracy to defraud the government
out of timber lands by making lille
gal arrangements with entrymen by
which they agreed to purchase the

to take timber lands which were later
turned over to the defendants.

Reduce Law Breaking to Minimum

Spokane, Feb. Is. - Farmers,
ranchers, orchardists and residents
in every settlement in Spokane coun-
ty have been enlisted in the service
of Sheriff Fred McPugh to capture
lawbreakers. The bailiwick has been
so thoroughly organized that it is al
most impossible for criminal to es
cape, the purpose being to reduce
crime to a minimum and thus save
life and property.
The plan, perfected by Thomas E.
Hedjle, office deputy, consists of a
map of all the suburban and farm
ers' private telephone lines in the
county with more than 1900 instru-
ments, exclusive of $4,000 instru-
ments in Spokane and an independ-
ent system with 10000 phones to be
completed in June. If crime is
committed in the city or in an out
lying district the sheriff will be able
to communicate with persons near the
scene, advising them to be on the
lookout in the event the lawbreaker
escapes.
Ten thousand residents in various
parts of the county have entered in
to an alliance with Sheriff Pugh and
the telephone companies will coop

CONGRESSMAN Poindexter is not the
only man of the lower house OF con-
gress from this state who has the
senatorial bee. Politicians in west
ern Washington are giving wide cir
culation to the story that Congress
man Humphrey, who halls from Sc
attic, believes that he is we'll fitted
to fill the position now held by SEN
ator Piles and 1t would not be sur
prising IL he were to announce his
candidacy to succeed Piles. 1t is
not likely that Congressman Humph-
rey will enter the race unless he
finds that King county interests could
unite upon him. He is sufficient OF
q politician to realize that with three
or four candidates from King county
none is likely to be elected. At the
present time King offers as candi-
dates Judge Burke, Senator Wilson
and John e. HUMPHREYS. A fourth
might add to the merriment Of the
game, but would not add to Kings
chances of capturing the senatorship.
Stenographic reports of the test1-
mony of former Special Agent CLAWS
given before the special COMPRESSION
al committee on the Ballinger In
vestigation have been received In
this city. According to students OF
evidence who have carefully studied
these reports, Mr.. CLAWS testimony
is much of a hearsay nature which
would not be permitted in court
of evidence. Unless those who are
back of the Ballinger investigation
are able to produce something more
tangible, there is no doubt, accord
ing to those who are following the
testimony, that the report of the COM
mittee will be complete exoneration
of the secretary of the interior.
