Statements Were False.

Nampa, March 22.-Jay Swigart.
who made temperance talk at the
Methodist Sunday school in this city
Sunday has signed a sworn statement
that the talk was fabrication and
that he did not tell the truth in his
remarks. He made a sensational talk
about the evils of intemperance and
about the violations of the laws He
aimed evidently to reflect upon the
city officials, for he stated he had been
able to procure the purchase of liquor,
two bottles of which he exhibited. He
claimed to have had boy make the
purchase of the two bottles and a
bunch of cigarettes that he also dis
played. The purchases, he stated,
were made within 30 feet of where a
policeman stood.
The mayor on learning of the man $
statements caused him to be arrested
on the charge of having procured the
unlawful sale Of liquor, the object OF
the arrest being to force the man to
tell where he had been able to make
the purchase and by whom it was
made.
When taken into court Swigart re-
padiated the story made at the Sunday
school and in order to gain his liberty
he made the following sworn state
ment:
in the justice court, South Nampa
Precinct, Ida.
Estate of Idaho, plaintiff, VS.. Jay
ID. Swigart, defendant.
''State of Idaho, Canyon county, IS.
Jay D. Swigart, being first duly
sworn, deposes and says: That he is
a resident of Nampa, Idaho. That on
the nineteenth day Of March, 1911, at
the First Methodist church of Nampa,
Idaho, | made the statement that
procured the purchase of two bottles
Of liquor (whisky) in Nampa, Idaho
together with other things.
THAT | now state on my solemn
oath that the statement above referred
to was false; that | never purchased
any liquor, and what | had in the
bottles was not liquor, but water.

Be a Booster.

We, as a nation, have duties on all
foreign products in order to pro-
tect our manufacturing establishments
and that is as it should be, but the
great number of American women and
girls, who have to make their own
living and are compelled to work for
five dollars week, have no protection
from the cheap Chinese labor at all,
and some of our prominent business
men will make all the money they
can off this class Of people and then,
when they have to spend a nickle
themselves, to see them go to a Chinese
Joint to spend it is rather hard to
account for, unless it is for the extra
smell they get which they cannot
procure elsewhere. 1t is about time
that all thinking people should size
up the men whom they deal with and
those, who have so little respect for
themselves and so little regard for
the public health and care so little
for the people OF lAer own race that
they will patrohize a Chinaman III
preference to their own people, who
support them, shaoll be cut out and
put down as wholly unworthy of your
patronage or support.-Adv. 44-1

nounced today to the senate finance
committee, at the hearing on the re-

would soon press for vote on re-
ciprocity.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
to fix a time to close the dual hear
ings. Senator Penrose, chairman,
expressed the belief that the recipro-
city bill hearing would end soon.
A controversy over the prices of
Canadian cattle arose between mem
bers of the committee and a witness
today at the hearing on the recipro-
city bill. E. C. Lasater, president of
the Cattle Raisers Association OF
Texas, asserted the cattle raising in
dustry would be destroyed because
Canadian prices were lower.
This, Senator Stone declared, was
not the case. He quoted statistic!
which Mr.. Lasater questioned. TIL.
secretary of agriculture and Professor
Emery of the tariff board will be
called to explain the figures and ap
parent contradictions.
The subject Of Canadian annexation
was introduced into the hearing by
Leonard Bronston of Chicago, repre-
senting the Lumber Manufacturers

cans would be glad to see Canads
made a part of the United States. H'
said he would not oppose the recipro
city bill if it was really reciprocal
! which, he said it was not.
