WILL SEEK BIDS
FROM BUS MEN
Aid. McCarty Would Gust Belle Isle
Auto Co. From Island and Pre-
pares Resolution.

Aid. Charles Z. McCarty, OF the
Thirteenth ward, said Saturday that
he would introduce resolution in the
council, next Tuesday night, directing
Park Commissioner Hurlbut to adyer-
tise for proposals from manufacturers
or owners of sightseeing automobiles
to furnish transportation between
Belle Isle and the bridge approach
and around the island. This would
mean the ousting of the Belle Isle
Auto Co., which now operates on suf-
france, under day-to-day agreement.
MY idea Is to pay SO much per day
for each machine, and all that Is left
over is to go to the city. The two
busses the city Is now operating are
bringing good returns. We get only
STA or $15 week from the Belle Isle
Auto Co., when we might be getting
several hundred dollars, IL We had
control Of the bus business on the
island.
Park Commissioner Hurlbut thinks
II would be a difficult matter to get
the sightseeing car proprietors to bid
ON such a proposition. The depart
ment tried to interest Aid. Deimel,
who operates one of these lines, last
spring, but he would not consider the
proposition, Hurlbut says. Aid Nc
Carly, however, is determined to put
In his resolution and he will have
strong support.

GROSSLY UNTRUE" DECLARES
COUNSEL FOR HARVESTER co.
Files Answer to Federal Agent Who
Charges Gross Violations Of
Antitrust Law.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-"Grossly
Inaccurate or entirely untrue" is the
Characterization the Harvester trust
makes of the report of Burdette d.
Townsend, special agent CT the de-
partnent OF Justice. which charges
the trust with gross Violations of the
antitrust law. In q brief filed today
with the house committee whfci1 ID
the steel trust the har-
|vester combine, through It's counsel,
Edward A. Bancroft, takes exception
to every statement made by Towns
end.
The fundamental charge OF COM
bination to create a monopoly Is bas.
ed by the report on the charge that
the knotter on the seIf-binder Is pro-
tected by patents" says Bancroft,
land that the International owns the
patents. The truth In there are no
patents OF this kind whatever"
Townssnd's list of names Of the Of
flcials Is also said to be inaccurate
His statement that all but three types
Of binders have been abandoned By
the trust Is characterized as "notori-
ously and absolutely false" The haI-
yester combine, he says, has bought
only ten per cent of its supplies from
the trust. thirty per cent from the
Independents and the remainder
from it's own subsidiary, the Wiscon-
siI. Steel company.
Bancroft insists that although the
price OF raw materials has increased
thirty per cent, the trust had increas-
ed the cost of Its self-binders only
seven per cent up to last year and
that this year II has reduced prices
five per cent The statement that II
sells It's goods cheaper abroad than
at home is denied and In conclusion
Bancroft insists that the Information
al is in no way a trust.

SUES FOR DAMAGES.
Vincent Doburzynski Charges Former
Employer With Malicious Prosecution.

Vincent Doburzynski, through his
attorneys, Henry r. Maurer and Jo-
seph Gardulski, started suit, Saturday,
against DR.. Stanislaus Lukaszewski, a
local Polish-physician for damages
for alleged malicious prosecution. He
asks $4,000.
According to Doburzynski, he was
employed by the doctor In Grand
Rapids to care for the physicians
house. with the understanding that he
was to receive 81 day and lodging.
Nineteen months ago, the doctor
moved to Detroit, and Vincent accom-
panied him. Since that time, the com.
plainant alleges, he has not received
any salary with the exception OF So.
On July IL, 1911, the doctor had
Vincent arrested. charged with ma
licious destruction of the automobile
tires and other parts OF the machine.
Vincent was discharged by Justice
Jeffries after spending nine days in
jail.
Doburzynsh began suit In Justice
Lemkie's court, Friday, to recover
$495 which he alleges the doctor owes
him as wages.

Cook was found dead, but Vreeland
Showed signs OF life. The auto patrol

however. on the way to the station.
One of the bullets pierced Cooks
heart, while Vreeland was shot
Through the head and chest.
Burnett was well acquainted with
Nreeland and Cook and had been on
the best Of terms with them. He was
|prostrated with grief on learning the
identity OF the men he had shot down,
not having had the slightest idea that
they were friends OF his. He was de-

taken to the Scotten station. He told

Collecting White Pine Seed.

Twenty thousand bushels of white
pine cones, collected for the purposes
OF replanting trees In the national
forest reserves, have been collected
this fall on the Kanltsu reserve. II
Is estimated that the pine cones will
produce about IA, 900 pounds OF seed.
A force OF between IS and 100 men
have been kept busy the past six
weeks collecting the cones. most OF
which were secured on the West
branch.
For the taking OF the seed from the
cones. bins have been built on the
hill tops and the house formerly
occupied as ranger section, on sec.
ti0n %, at West Branch, will be used
10 which to bake the cones and make
them shell out the seeds. A heat OF
between 100 and 135 degrees is used
to loosen the seeds from the cones
and the cones are then put through
huge drum, which action completes
the work OF separation. The ranger
station on the West Branch will have
a new house In place Of its old one
which Is to be used for the heating OF
the cones.
The white pine seed will be dis.
tributed from the Kanitsu reserve to
various parts Of the United States
where the seed is needed to replant
forest areas.

considered the climax. The perua.

that this meet could not have been

Every citizen 10 Idaho who believes

the open gambling at the state fair.
such as has been carried on this year.
Gambling Ia gambling whether It be
carried on with cards or With pools at
q race meet. There is the same prin.
ciple 10 one as the other. There are
many who know little ur nothing OF
the game at the race meet and the
simple, easy fellow who has spark
OF faith Ia the honesty Of the pro-
moters, stakes his money where he
mas no chance OF getting any part or
u 10 return. The demoralIzing in
fluence Is just as great 10 one kind Of
gambling as another, aud il there Is
to be law against II that Law should
prohibit race cou,ss gambling at
state or county fairs as well as any
other gambling.
