CREATES GREAT INTEREST AND
PROVES CENT ~ AT
TRACTION
Professor Jones WrOites of the Nov
eI Display of Fruits.-Message is
Sent by Governor Hawley.-Ot-
upies Area of 800 Square Feet.
Capital News)

That Idaho is making a magnli-
cent display of her products at ,ne
Western Land Products exhibit ut
Omaha, now being held, is the adj
vice that comes to Reilly Atkinson,
secretary of the Commercial club,
from Professor Jones of this city,
who is in charge of the exhibits of
this state
The Idaho exhibit occupies an area
Of $50 square feet, and is most ar
tfstfcally arranged, the main pub
licity feature of which is a dining
room scene so beautifully decorated
as to appeal to all of an artistic tenn
permanent. The scene represents Miss
Ida Ho and Boise Boy, two figures
three feet in height, seated at a din
ing table, and being served with ap-
pies and peaches, the dinner having
been finished to the fruit course,
which is being served upon a beau
tiful service. Separated from this
scene by large sheaf of Idaho wheat
eight feet in height is another one
equally attractive, that of "the Idaho
spill" representing an Idaho farmer
who has just spilled from his bas-
ket such apples as Idaho alone can
grow, and over these two scenes, add
ing greatly to the artistic effect Of
each, is the beautiful picture, "Sho-
shone Falls, Greater than Niagra
which adorned the governors Office
and excited much admiration. Still
further decorating the scenes are the
two sweepstakes cups won by the
state at the National Horticultural
congresses held at Council Bluffs in
1909 and 1910 on the commercial
display of apples.
Immediately after receiving advice
of the impression that Idaho's ex-
hibit had made upon visitors in at
tendance, from other states, Govern
or Hawley sent the following enthus-
iastic message to the Western Land
Products exhibit
Boise, Idaho, Jan. is, 19l1.-

Southern Idaho. Twin Falls received
one carload. The spectacle of solid
train of emigrants for one section
augurs well for this years record.
In the train there were eleven car
loads goinng to Sugar City. two car
loads to Mackay and one carload 20
Twin Falls. The eleven carloads to
Sugar City were filled entirely with
families from around Garden City.
Kansas. The rest Of the train load
were from different points in the
southern states. Mr. Morehead says
the number Of inquiries and requests
for information indicate not only
much larger number of colonists
and homeseekers for this part OF the
state. but all are anxious for an i'm
mediate reply. indicating that the
inflow will begin earlier in the year
than in previous seasons.

WESTERN SECTION :
MAY become BEST

PIERRE. S. D., Oct. Estate En-.
s'neer Lea has returned from a par.
'',ial recognizance of the proposed ir-
riga':on plan which comprehends :!le
taking of water from Cheyenne aver
near Buffalo Gap, and spreading it
o;er central and western Stanley
county The time out was not long
enough to cover the whole project.
but the territory covered shows that
in the Bad Lands, south of Wall, is a
natural reservoir which would hold
water enough for all the demands of
such a project, this reservoir being
located at height which would al
low the carrying of water to practf=
cally all of the prairie section of west
FERN Stanley county. That was as far
as the work was completed, and the
main question as to the practicability
of getting the water into this nat
ural reservoir from the Cheyenne river
is left to another trip. If this project
proves to be feasible, along with other
plans now under way the western
half of South Dakota will be so nearly
covered with irrigation projects that
it will be the certain crop section of
the state, and the question of precipi-
tation for the raising of a crop will
be the issue of the farmers east of the
Missouri instead of those living west
u that stream.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1S.-The de-
fense in the Mcnamara murder trial
began today's work by challenging for
cause, George W. Mckee, a contrac-
tor who said he had a fixed opinion
that the Los Angels Times was blown
up by dynamite. The state regis
tered challenge and Assistant Dis.
trict Attorney G. Ray Horton at once
took up the questioning. The chal.
lenge against Mckee is in line with
the avowed policy of the defense un-
der Attorney Darrow to try to show
that the Times building was blown
up by gas and that James B. McNa-
mara, on trial f, the murder of
Charles Haggerty. who was killed in
the Times disaster, could not have
been responsible for the explosion or
Haggerty's death.
The state holds that an opinion A.
to the cause of the explosion need not
necessarily prejudice juror to such
an extent that he cannot give far
trial.

CRIMINALS Go UNPUNlShEO
ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL
LAW IN AMERICA Is BURN
ING DISGRACE.
Noted Judge Suggests Criminal Law
Reforms, Which Include Simpified
Forms Of indictments, Changes in
Selections Of Juries and in Rules
Governing PIeadngs.
(Rv Associated Press.)

OMAHA. Neb., Oct. 1S.-Quotin,
President Taft as saying that 1.-The ad
ministration of criminal law in thi
country is a disgrace to civilization,
Judge c. A. De Courcey of Lawrence
Mass, justice of the superior court o
Massachusetts, before the American
Prison association last night, pointet
out that the United States was con
spicuous for the great number of un
punished murderers.
The defense of insanity, the limi
tation of the power of judges and tht
character of testimony allowed to be
introduced in behalf of the defend
ant, were some of the evils which, hi
said ought to be rectified.
''The number of homicides in this
country for 1910 were S,975-an in
crease of nearly 900 over the number
in 1909; yet but one in sc We're cap
italy punished in 1910, as against one
in "a during the year preceding" said
Judge De Courcy.
1T is said that in 1896 for eacl
million of the population there were
l18 homicides in the United States;
in Italy less than Is; in Canada less
than 13; in Great Britain less than 8;
in Germany less than 5.
In the last year in London, with
a population of 100000. there were
but 10 cases of murder. OF the ls
murderers five committed suicide. All
of the others except four were ar
rested and. either convicted and ex
t:uted or committed t. the insane
asylum.
I'm New York city 119 cases of hom
cide were investigated by the grand
jury during the last year, but only
45 convictions resulted. Chicago re.
ports 2O2 homicidss were committed
in that city during the last year
Only one of the offenders was hanged;
fifteen were sent to the penitentiary,
and the others were set free. In Lou
isville. with population of 224,0O0,
during the last year there were a
cases Of homicide and not a single
murderer was hanged. In Alabama
for the two years ending September
30, 1910. $50 cases of homicide were
disposed of and the death penalty
was imposed in but q cases. In
A<OI III ocsA OAAAeS Ill IAO AooC yCol CAOA .
were 141 homicidss, and in Ohio 191,
and in each an absurdly small num-
ber capitally punished. The report
of the attorney general of Texas
states that there were 1,O4S indict-
ments for murder in that state during
the years 1909 and 1910. and undoubt-
edly large number of homicides in
addition for which no indictment
was found.
I'm Alabama a conv ction for steal
ing hides was recently set aside be-
cause the indictment failed to state
whether they were mule, COW, goat
CT sheep hides. And indictments,
were dismissed because father was
spelled farther lin South Carolina):
because the letter 'i'' was omitted IN
spelling malice Tin Alaba, a."
Judge De Courcy then suggested
some criminal law reforms which 1n-
cluded simplified forms of indict-
ments, changes in the selections Of
juries and in the rules governing
pleadings"
