BOISE, Ida Dec l3.-Five Thousand
dollars principal and four hundred dollars
interest is the demand made by a Boise
bank on the former Republican chairman
OF The state committee who borrowed
this principal sum to defray the gitl-
mate costs Of the state campaign two
years ago.
The Bank OF Idaho makes this demand
on Barney +. O'NeiI
When the state central committee met
in Boise to select a new chairman and
to frame party platform according to
the terms OF the new primary lew, Mr.
O'Neil was here. He laid his statement
OF receipts and disbursements as state
chairman Of the Republican party be-
fore the committee, including an indebt
edness OF $4,000 and interest for almost
two years. and they were all duly ap-
proved This obligation was secured by
tho north Idaho chairman and banker
personally. This makes the obligation
entirely good, so far as the bank is con-
cerned. or for that matter. so far as the
Republican party Is concerned.
The Claim Is Good.
Mr.. O'Neil; of course, is but technically
responsible for the obligation. The state
committee of the Republican party of

AT the time Of the meeting OF the state
central committee OF the Republican party
in Boise In September, when the out-go-
ing chairman filed his report, II was ac-
cepted by the new state committee and

GENERAL ADVANCE
HOLDS THE GAME
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Determined to Suspend
Railroad Rates.

Washington. July 1S.-By formal
vote the interstate commerce commits
sion today determined TO suspend re-
cent general advances in rates made
by railroads.
The tariffs suspended in accordance
with the policy Of the commission for
the most part are those recently filed
by the western trunk line association
and by the carriers in eastern classifi-
cation territory, although some Of the
tariffs were filed by individual roads
in other territories.
BY arrangement with the President
and the commission. the railways
agreed to supplement their original ad-
vanced tariffs, which were TO have be-
come effective August I. This post
ponement was to enable the commits
sion thoroughly to examine its author
ity under the new railroad law The
understanding at the time the agree
ment was reported was that such ad-
vances as were general in character
and affected large interests should be
suspended pending an inquiry into the
reasonableness of the increases. IS
Automatically Applicable.
The vote taken by the commission
was rather on line OF policy to be
pursued as TO suspension than upon
specific tariffs.
Now that the policy Of the commits
sion has been determined. II will be
automatically applicable. in a sense. TO
such tariffs as fall within its purview.
1t is expected that within day or
two formal announcement will be made
of the precise nature OF the commits
sion's policy. and. in a general way.
the tariffs that are to be affected by
IL. Until that announcement Is made.
1t is not possible to state definitely
what particular rates would be sus-
pended Some advances contained in
recently filed tariffs undoubtedly will
not be suspended, but fl is reasonably
certain that practically all of the gen
eral freight advances will be held up
pending inquiry in the autumn.
In the multiplicity OF freight tariffs
filed with the commission. averaging
six or seven hundred changes in rates
per day-the commission naturally will
not exercise its authority to suspend
