UNITED PRESS LEASED WHEEL

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 2S.-Indication
today were that United States Sena
tor Hepburn, of Idaho, would come
in for good toasting by the legisla-
ture on account of his slurring refer
enoe to the memorial passed by the
legislature, in which the bill now
pending in congress for the direct
election of United States senators was
approved and the state pledged its
support to the measure.
The temper of the legislature was
clearly shown when they unanimous
ly voted AYE to motion by Senator
Macbeth that the secretary of state
be ordered to deliver Heyburn's let
ter to the senate. The letter in ques-
tion was sent by Hepburn as an ac-
acknowledgement of the receipt of the
memorial at Washington.
The portion of the senior senator's
epistle which aroused the ire of the
ldahO Sol0ns fOlloWs:
II cannot conceive that the legis-
lature intended in adopting this res
olution to confess its inability to
honestly perform its constitutional
duty in electing United States sena-
tors, or that it intended to suggest
that future legislation would not be
as honest or competent. In my judg-
ment, it is not true that the people
of Idaho desire any change in the
constitution, upon fair and intelli-
gent consideration of the question. /
am unwilling to indorse any legisla-
tion that would indicate it was not
entitled to the confidence of the peo-
pie"
The majority of the legislature
take issue with Hepburn regarding
the stand of the voting population on
direct election question.
Senator Lee, Republican, declared
that Hepburn must know that the
people have been in favor of the
movement for years, ever since the
cry that the trusts were controlling
the United States senate" was raised
A number of senators intimated
strongly that Hepburn drew sharp
line between his official and unof-
fetal knowledge of parliamentary
Idaho, and that he did not allow his
non-political knowledge to interfere
when 1t was not enrapport with his
official political leanings.

When Speaker Rusk called the body

AS is characteristic of that body,
there were half dozen members on

to one instructing the sergeant-at-

finally dawned upon some one that

made that the sergeant-at-arms be

TRYING TO
PREVENT A
CAR STRIKE
CHICAGO MAYOR CALLS A CON-
FERENCE OF PRESIDENTS OF
ALL STREET CAR LINES TO DIS
CUSS THE SITUATION.
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE ]

Chicago, Jan, 2S.--In the effort to
prevent a threatened strike of 5000
street car men here, Mayor Busse to-
day called a conference of presidents
of traction lines for Monday, when
he will urge that concessions be
made to the men.
The trouble is due to dispute re-
garding the Interpretation of a clause
in the agreement between the Chi
cago City Railway company and the
Chicago Railways company, the two
big systems, and their employees. The
agreement provides minimum
working day Of nine hours with a
maximum Of IL hours. The unions
claim that men employed on extra
runs for one or two hours should be
paid for full elght-hour day. This
demand is vigorously opposed by the
companies.

The resolution is as follows;
Whereas, the presence in this

CLAIMS ILLEGAL
DECLARES MAYOR
For First Time Mayor Rider vetoes
Finance Ordinance Passed BY
the Council.

For the first time during the present
administration the mayor has vetoed
an ordinance passed by the city coun-
cit. This occurred late yesterday aft
lernoon, when Mayor Rider refused to
sign the ordinance making appropria-
tions for the current expenses of the
last month.
The ordinance was passed at the
regular meeting of the council Tues
day night and carried two accounts.
which were Objectionable to the mayor.
These accounts were the claims of J.
III. Workman, engineer at the water
plant, for his December salary and of
Roy Cooper, for his salary for sprink-
Ing and sweeping the streets. The
mayor says the claims are not legal
and that the city does not owe either of
the above claimants a cent. He sent
the ordinance back to the council and
a call was issued for special meeting
last evening to dispose of the accounts
against the city. However it was i'm
possible to get enough members pres
ent to constitute a quorum and ad-
journment was taken until more suit
able time. It is thought a call will be
issued for special meeting either to-
night or tomorrow night.

SENATOR ELK|NS
SUCCUMBSA At LAST
After Months of Struggling West Vir.
ginia Senator Dies at Midnight of
Complication of Diseases.

Washington, D. O., Jan. 5.-Senator
Stephen b. Elkins of West Virginia
died at midnight last night. At the
bedside were his wife, his daughter.
Katherine, and four sons: David. Rich
ard, Stephen. and BIain, and his physi-
clans. Death was due to septicaemia.
or blood poisoning. He was conscious
until within an half hour of his death.
In the early evening there were per.
sistent rumors that the senator's con-
dition had become grave, and fears
were expressed that he might not live
through the night.
The Elkins family, however, were
hopeful to the last, and to the numer-
Gus inquiries which poured in at the
Elkins home, encouraging responses
were given.
Senator Elkins became i'll in the
early summer at his home at Elkins.
w. Va. He kept strict confinement
and only the members OF his immediate
family were allowed to see him. On
November 8, when he was removed to
Washington in his private car, he was
reported considerably improved. His
declared he might possibly
be able 10 take his seat in the senate
at the opening of congress.
Senator Elkin's ailment never be-
came definitely known. In the sum.
ner he was reported to be suffering
from intestinal trouble, in many re-
spects similar to acute Indigestion. At
1ther times his physicians are said to
nave believed him afflicted with
nervous malady. Last week it was re-
'orted the open air treatment had been
advised and that room on the roof of
lis home would be arranged for him.
according to the physicians in attend
lnce last night, the senator died from
| complication of diseases arising from
epticaemia.
Though no funeral arrangements
ave been announced, it is probable
hat the senator viii be buried at
llkins, w Va.
