United States Senator Kirkland l.
Perky
That was the title given to one of
Boise's and Idaho's most DISTINGUISHED
jurists. lawyers and Democrats last
night by Governor James H. Hawley
when he signed commission that ten
dered to Judge Perky seat in the up
per house Of congress which for a term
and half and up until the time of his
death had been held by the late Senator
Weldon B. Hepburn.
BY the act Governor Hawley COM
pletely abandoned the plans that had
been made Friday night to resign as
governor to be succeeded as chief exc
cutive by Lieutenant Governor Lewis
H. Sweetser. whereupon the latter was
to have appointed the governor senator.
The appointment of a south Idaho man
to the senatorship proved a reversal
Of Governor Hawley's original inten-
ton to send the honor to north Idaho.
Was Dramatic Political Climax.
United States senators were made
and unmade in Boise within the past
~ hours. The appointment of Judge
Perky came as Q dramatic climax to a
political situation which for a month
has been boiling In this, the capital
city. and at last had reached fever
heat. Pressure from leading Repub-
licans from all parts Of the state, from
Democrats and from Progressives had
been brought to bear on Governor Haw-
ky to resign as governor and become
United States senator. Lieutenant
Governor Sweetser had come to Boise
post haste to sign his appointment,
and yesterday Governor Hawley had
decided on. this plan. Consideration
over night by him changed a situa-
tion considered settled, into a very
different one, retired the governor. and
instead of resulting in the appointment
Of q north Idaho Democrat gave the
senatorship to one from the south.
Governor Hawley's commission ap-
pointing Judge Perky. addressed to the
secretary Of state, is as follows:
Il have this day appointed Kirt-
land I. Perky Of Boise, Idaho. as United
States senator to succeed Hon. Weldon
B. Hepburn. deceased. Please issue
commission accordingly to Mr. Perky
and oblige."

for the reason that Czar Ferdinand
had claimed Saloniki for himself or
insisted that, at any rate, the port ba

gested it as port for Servia as an al

Saloniki Is to be kept by Greece. The,
theory here was that the st. Petersburg
government was more interested IN
sowing the seeds Of dissention among
the Balkan states than in affrontiny
Austria. Russia, which dominates the
Balkan nations, it was argued, wants
them to get as much territory in the
near east as possible, but prefers not
to have them develop into strong
confederation lest 1t check Russia

Estimate Of Casualties.
London, Nov. 16.-Neary $4,000 men
have been killed and more than 1900
wounded in the balkan war thus far.
according to estimates today by experts
who said their figures probably erred
on the side of conservatism.
Exactness, it was agreed, Is impos-
sible. Each side has exaggerated che
enemy's and minimzed its own losses.
But two or three correspondents and
perhaps half dozen foreign military
observers have been permitted to see
any actual fighting. No official cas-
ualty lists have been issued.
The losses in killed and wounded
were placed by the best judges, how
ever. classified by nationalities. sEb-

DONNELLY UPHELD BY ALDERMEN IN
 REBATE DISPUTE
Aldermen Don't Agree With Views of Board of Ap-
 pOrtiOnment

The First district tax rebate muddle that started a controversy between former Tax Collector John M. Doh nelly and the present collector, Ber- nard F. Cooney, was cleared last night and Donnelly's attitude was upheld as fully within his legal rights. When the Board of Apportionment met last winter it became known that the First district tax rebates, ordered to be paid by Donnelly while he was tax collector, were still being handled by him, though he had been out of of- flee since fall, succeeded by Cooney.
 Subsequent to that discovery the Board of Apportfonment passed a res- olution to express it's belief that such books and records as Donnelly had should be turned over to Cooney and the tax rebates be handled by him. Council, then to the Miscellaneous committee, and last, night that com mittee made a report to the council which fully exonerated Donnelly and vindicated him in every way. The report was accepted without opposi- ton.
 The report Of the Miscellaneous com mittee held. that Donnelly was within his legal rights in continuing to han dle the rebates inasmuch as he had been instructed to do so by the coun- cil, and that he was justified in keep ing what records and books he had Alderman DeForest reviewed the case at some length, showing that MT. Don- nelly was Justified in his course.
 Mayor Wilson asked Alderman De- Forest if Mir Donnelly would make any charge for handling the rebates.
 'Of course not,' answered MT. De- Forest.

MAN WHO WAS AT THE WHEEL OF TITANIC HEARD British Inquiry Court Told That Reckless Speed Caused
 Disaster

London. May 7.-That reckless speed caused the Titanic disaster was emphasized to the British court of in- auiry by Robert Kitchens, the quar- termaster who was at the wheel when the great liner struck. He related here almost exactly the same story he told in Washington.
 He declared that Captain Smith was in his cabin at the time the liner struck the ice and that when the warning of danger ahead vas receiv- ed through the sounding of three bells from the lookout in the crows s nest which he confirmed immediately by telephone, the helm was put hard to port but too late to turn the steam CT away from the danger. -----x
 According to Hichensait took more than half minute to port the helm after the warning and the steamer was coming slowly around when she smashed against the ice. The wit ness was examined at great length but made mo material change in the story he originally told in America.
