100000 from the estate of Robert Hoe,
millionaire printing press manutac'
turer, is disclosed in an amended an
swer which the executors Of the Hoe
estate today secured permission from
Supreme Court Justice Platzek to
serve.
The executors charge that Mrs. Johns.
having obtained by fraudulent means
assignments of securities from Hoe to
herself, went to the persons having in
charge Hoes possessions after his
death and told these persons she must
have access to the safety deposit box.

pers with the knowledge of the sons Of
Robert Hoe, and threatened that un-
less she was given access to the box

certain papers from the boxes.

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 25.-The house
today defeated the bill which proposed
to annex the Nampa portion Of Can
yon county to Ada. More than sew
enty citizens of Caldwell came over
here yesterday to oppose the measure.
The senate today passed a resolu-
tion providing that the ballot in the
1912 election shall contain slip upon
which the voters Of the state may ex-
press their wishes as to the creation
of a railway commission. The gover-
nor is required to submit the result to
the twelfth session Of the Idaho legis-
lation as an indication only of the

This is taken as n blow at the po-
litical ambitions of Ex-Governor Good

It is understood here that the sud

investigation based on decision of
Judge Richards as to the legal status
Of the board Of state land commission
ers relating to the Carey act is to be
carried TO the attention of the federal
state s right to construe the act In a
manner which fails to protect the citi-
zens of other states who invest in Ida
no lands to be watered under the pro-
visions Of the Carey act
Judge Richards's opinion rendered
to the legislative committee was to the
effect that the board Of Idaho had no
control over the construction Of dam
or irrigation works after the contract
was signed or over the disposition Of
funds raised by promoting companies
who contracted with the state to fur
nisb water for settlers.
The evidence taken in the "Mackay

said to have been sent to the Nebraska
senators at Washington, who are to
take the matter up with the interior
department for ruling as to the right
OF the state TO misrepresent its Carey
act projects to the residents of other
states.

James Sterling of Laramie, Wyo., ar
rived in Ogden this morning for George
Crus, the gypsy, wanted in the Wyo
ming ety for the theft Of s225o from

The officer neglected TO bring requisi
ton papers with him, believing that
the prisoner would return without this
formality. Crus, however, has obtained
the services Of A. G.. Horn to represent
him and refuses TO accompany the Of
Acer without requisition.
Sterling was in consultation with
County Attorney David Jenson this aft
ernoon, after which he sent telegram
to Sheriff L. Hughes at Laramie re.
questing that the requisition papers be
forwarded at once. A message from
Laramie late this afternoon announced
that tho papers will be sent immedi-
