IDAHO GETS ONE MORE
House Of Representatives Pass Bill
Giving Idaho One More Congress-
man-Senate viii Concur.


Boise Feb. 20-According to adj
vice from the Associated Press re-
ceiSed by the Morning Statesman,
Idaho may yet secure another
congressman, The dispatch is as
follows:
The democrats of the house, aid.
ed by few republicans, who de-
clined to be bound by party
caucus today, won their fight for an
increased representation in the
lower branch of congress under
the census Of 1910
They voted down the republican
CAUCUS bill to maintain the mem
bership at 991, as at present, and
then passed the original Crum-
packer bill fixing the membership
at 433 on and after March 3, 1918.
Today's action Of the house must
be ratified by the senate. The
house leaders believe the senate
will follow the wishes of the lower
branch, as under the re-apportion-
ment plan no state loses a member.
Idaho gains one more member
by the provisions of the bill.

Indians at Empire Are Something New

A band of real Indians in a war
dance on the stage of vaudeville
theatre was a sufficiently welco me
diversion from the ordinary run of
variety offering to pack the New
Empire to its doors last night.
Those who expected to witness
big show were not disappointed
when they discovered that the bill
had run of two hours and the
Offering com prised some of the
strongest acts ever seen in local
vaudeville.
That Indians do not make good
actors is generally conceded, but
the war and love dances by the
Nez Perez tribesmen proved of
great interest because of their
fidelity to realism. The repro
duction of the Battle of Clearwater
is being re-enacted by their fathers.

Daughter Of Famous
SOUthcrner to Wed

Col Thos j. O'Neill has received an
invitation to the marriage of Miss
Charlie Scott and Dr. David Nj. Hem
ming in Grace Church. Rosedale,
Miss, on the evening of April 25.
The bride to be is the daughter Of
Hon. Charles Scott whose name is fa-
miliar to the many Mississippians in
this state. He is lawyer, banker,
merchant and one of the largest cot.
ton planters in the world. Capt. c. H..
caneman, manager of the Chickasha
compress, says he probably owns more
cotton plantations than any other man
in the south.
In 1907 Mr.. Scott was a candidate
for the nomination for governor being
defeated by a small majority Col
ONeill, then living in Columbus, was
one Of his strong supporters Skeak-
ing Of him today, Col O'Neill said,
Mr. Scott was among the boy soldiers
Of the confederacy. having won dis
tinction as fighter and scout even
when beardless boy. He is a Napol-
con among business men and is noted
for his high character and warm, gem
erous heart He has brought many
Italian laborers to his farms in the
Mississippi delta to take the place of
the younger generation Of negroes,
found by him to be undesirable as
farm workers and this Importation Of
Italians was used by his opponents for
governor. I was for him to the last
ditch"
Capt. Caneman says he regards Mr..
Scott as the ablest lawyer in Mississ-
ippi.
