JUSTIFIED
SAYS Mr.. GRAY

An editorial in The Sunday Star
yesterday commenting on the dropping
by the State of the charges brought
against Harry 1. Gillis and James p.
Ratledge by Chief of Police Black fol-
lowing the police investigation brought
a reply from Attorney-General Gray
this morning. The newspaper editorial
stated that in all probability the cases
will be taken up by the grand jury at
the September term OF court.
Mr. Gray said: 81 think there is a
misconception Of the facts and cir
cumstances by the public. l examined
all the witnesses in the cases and had
testimony taken down by a stenog-
rapher and from the facts and circum-
stances It was clear that no charge of
perjury or subornation of perjury
could be maintained The only charge
would be that Of false swearing, a mis-
demeanor. The character Of the wit
nesses and the nature of their testi-
mony was such that felt fully iust-
fed i'm dropping the cases at the re-
quest Of the prosecuting witness"

WASHINGTON. May 15.-When in
formed that he would not have to go
to Jail by a United Press representa-
tive who met him in Union Station
this afternoon, Samuel Gompers. pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, said,
Il am. of course, greatly gratihed
that the Supreme Court has reversed
the decisions of both Justice Wright
and a majority of the justices of the
Court of Appeals of the District Of
Columbia.
Il think that it has not only been
my own opinion, but that of a ma
iority Of the people of the United
States. that the sentence by Justice
Wright of six. nine and twelve months
for Mr. Morrison. Mr.. Mitchell and
myself. was unjust, unusual and cruel
particularly in an alleged construc-
tive contempt proceeding; that his
language was Incorporate and injudi-
cial.
81 am gratified at the fact that the
court has reversed his decision. yet
am dissatisfied that the Supreme
Court did not decide the question and
principles and contentious in the pro-

not only has congress full power
to do as it pleases with public

IDAHO'S SENATORS THE.
BEST.

Governor Hawley, anent his
recent visit to the national cap
ital, pays the following high tri-
butte to Idaho's representatives
in the upper house, which is
doubly complimentary, coming as
it does from a man of opposing
political views:
1T is my candid opinion that
Idaho is represented with more
real ability in the senate of the
United States than is any other
state in the Union. Everywhere
| went in Washington | was inn
pressed with the fact that Sen
ator Borah and Senator Hepburn
are regarded as authorities on all
important questions. In addition
to his ability Senator Borah is
also one of the most popular
public men in the national CAPT
tai. He stands exceptionally high
with the president, with cabinet
officers and with the party lead
ers on both sides. Everywhere
William r. Borah is looked upon
as one of the coming men of this
country. Just now he is in posi-
ton to accomplish great things
for Idaho"

the time. The drag should be
run over the road after every
rain. 1t spreads he said, a coat
of water proofing or puddled
earth over the top while it
smoothed it; and these successive
layers of interpreting would
finally make a highway imperv-
ious to water and from which the
rainfall would quickly flow. 1t
was not necessary to go to the
trouble of grading the ordinary
highway. The drag would leave
the crown of the highway higher
than the sides. Ii the road was
not wide enough single furrow
could be plowed at each side,
each time the road was dragged
and the new earth spread over
the highway with the drag. He
ridiculed the system of piling the
center of the road with soft sod
and soft earth and leaving it in
unfinished condition to be pack
ed and smoothed by traffic. The
more the drag was used the bet
ter the road became. The road
along his farm which has been
dragged for fifteen years is bet
ter and smoother than the aver
age race track. The ordinary
use of a highway, the padding
of horses feet and the crunch
ing of the wheels had the effect
of pudding the soil and helping
to render it impervious to water.
The road drag finished the oper-
alton and smoothed the surface
assisting the natural process. 1t
is impossible today, he said, to
grow corn in the old Sante Fe
trail, although the trail has been
closed for twenty years.
