utes before she disappeared and convers-
ed with her. When she started west

John B. Lord not only got out the new
affidavit today charging ex-senator Gard
ner with a felony in obtaining HaslettS
signature to documents under false pre-
lenses, but he also gave out statement
in which he says that the signature to
Haslett's latest will is Ia forgery, as we'll
as the signature to the power of attorney
which for time held precedence over the
power of attorney held by Lord. In the
statement also he says that the Samuels
are not related to old MIR. Haslett, and in
the next sentence says that Mrs. Samuel
is a second cousin of Haslett. When
asked to explain this, Mr.. Lord said the
''law could take no recognition of the re-

UNDER TWOCHARGES
Former State Senator Gardner
Held for Hearing.
ALLEGED FRAUD ON HERMIT
Defendant and Two Others Accused
of Conspiracy-Court Issues
Temporary Injunction.

NEW YORK, February Ca tempo
State Senator Frank j. Gardner and
John b. Lord from acting under powers
of attorney given them by Samuel E.
Haslett, the aged recluse, has been is
sued by County Judge Fawcett in pro-
ceedings begun by Mrs. Lionel Samuel
of New Dorp, second cousin of Mr..
Haslett. Gardner is under the double
charge of conspiracy to defraud Haslett
of his half-mllion- dollar estate and fell
ony in connection with obtaining, under
false pretenses, Haslett's signature to a
will and power of attorney. Lord has
been counsel to and intimate of the
recluse for years.
Allegations in Petition.
Mrs Samuers petition alleges that Has
lett is imbecie from loss of memory and
old age 1t prays the court to pass upon
his sanity. There will be hearing in
the case Friday. Four of Haslett's rela-
tives who may become parties to the ac-
ton have been notified of the proceedings
by Mrs. Samuel.
Both Mrs Samuel and her husband.
Lionel Samuel, tell of recent visits to
Haslett's house, of lack of heat and of
filthy conditions at variance with the
statements of Lawyer John b. Lord, and
of seeing many evidences of Haslett S
mental and physical incompetency. Judge
Fawcett granted a stay, which means
that until Friday at least Haslett is le-
gally in charge of his own person and
property.

THE SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
Open and Direct Charges Of Bribery
Preferred Against Watson and
Chllton-Legislatnre Re-
fuses to Investigate.

1t has been charged that the Wat
son-Chilton domination controlled the
majority of the House OF Delegates
and by the exercise of this control,
defeated the enactment of direct
primary law; accordingly, it can and
will be shown where this control was
acquired.
The influence OF Senators Watson
and Chiffon over the Democratic ma
jority Of the Legislature was acquired
prior to the converting of the Legis-
lature in regular session. in the
Democratic senatorial caucus, in such
a manner as to faint their certificates
of election to the United States SEN
ate.
From the manner in which control
of tina caucus was acquired, charges
were openly made by leaders Of the
Democratic party against Senators
Chiffon and Watson, and a number OF
the democrats reTolted and refused to
support the two candidates even after
they had been, declared the caucus
nominees of their party.
There are few instances In the his
tory of this country where grave
charges of like nature, affecting the
integrity and honesty OF the Legisla-
ture. have been made without any in
quiry for the purpose of ascertaining
their truth or falslty. 1t would be
natural for innocent men, unjustly
accused, to seek vindcation by de-
mandlng a thorough probe of these
charges. Senators Watson and Chill.
ton did not demand m Inquiry and
their friends In the Legislature pre-.
vented an investigation.
The charges, made openly and ad-
visedly on the floor of the two Houses
of the Legislature, and in the joint
assembly, that c. W. Watson and VIM,
d. Chiffon secured their nominations
for the United States Senate through

The responsibility for the failure

interviewer so closely with the de-

special session Of the Legislature, is
the story of the now Infamous Demo-
cratic senatorial caucus, where sena-
tors Watson and Chiffon secured CON
troll of the working majority of the
Legislature which served them so
well three months later in the de-
feat of direct primary law. Charges
made by members of the same party
to which Senators Chiffon and Wat
son belong, cast-a stigma IN the cleo
'on OF the two Senators, to remove
which innocent men would have been
justified in demanding a full and free
investigation.
Fought Primary to Save Watson.
Throughout this record 1t will be
apparent to everyone that the men in
he Democratic party who opposed
the sale of senatorial togas, also
fought tenaciously for the enactment
If a direct primary law, while those
Who supported the senatorial allies
the senatorial contest, voted from
beginning to end in opposition to any
law that would compel Senator C w.
Watson. when a candidate for re-elec-
ton in 1912, to submit his candidacy
to the people of the State.
This record is complete. 1t follows
on subsequent pages, and the people
Of West Virginia, irrespective Of
party affiliations, are asked to sit as
jury and base their verdict on the
evidence submitted.
Let no advocate OF direct primaries
feel discouraged by the victory won
in the special session of the Legisla-
lure by the forces OF corruption, be-
cause the fight Will yet be won. The
entrenched guard of corruption can
not stand in the full glare of publicity.
Enlightened public opinion. which In
centuries past, has forced the abdlca-
ton of thrones by cruel and oppres-
sive rulers, will compel the forces Of
corruption to surrender those rights
Of the people they have usurped, for
whatever progress has been made
since the civilization Of mankind,
primarily has been due to an aroused
public sentiment.

that area Many maps OF the same
area may be made subsequently,
from ordinary schoolboOk maps to
special automobile or road maps, but
they are usually based ON the Survey
topographic map, which is tied to
fixed points such as mountains and
hills and referred for its various al
titudes to mean sea level.
Recognizing the great Importance
and value of such basic map and
the fact that the Federal Geological
Survey, with its trained and expert
enced topographic engineers, can
most accurately and economically
make the map, many of the States are
cooperating with the Survey and
coming forward with State money to
allotments. In other words, the
states are turning over their money
to the government survey In order to
expedite the completion of their state
topographic maps. Such cooperation
between the United States Geological
Survey and the State of Ohio was
commenced in 1901, and since that
date the State has appropriated $270,
900 for the purpose, the Federal Gov
eminent expanding $3.50 600 The
State of West Virginia has appro-
priated for cooperative work 1885,

has been expended by the State and
like amount by the Federal Govern
ment. In Illinois cooperation was be-
gun in 1905, and the state has since
expended ST, 1923 and the Federal
Government $70,423. The State of

Great Plant to be Established on
Malad River.

The introduction of modern meth
eds OF combination for economy in
the matter of shearing sheep, with
machinery to do the work by whole
sale where primitive hand work has
heretofore been the rule, is to have
its try-out in Southern Idaho where
some of the leading flockmasters are

able OF handing 10 900 sheep day.
The location selected for the plant
is near Prairie City, which is conve-
nient to the new branch of the Short
Line railroad for Shipping facilities,
with an abundance of feed and water
right at hand and the Forest Reserve
upon which the flocks may be turned
after shearing near by.
Several hundred thousand sheep
are expected to be handled each sea-
son at the new plant, which will be
the largest in the State of Idaho If
not the largest in this part Of the
country. A gasoline engine is to fur
nTsh the power until electricity be-
comes available.
Small plants for shearing by mach
fnery have been in use for some years
In this part of The state. Their intro
duction has not been SO much to save
cost of shearing as to expedite the
work, where the sheep, being kept
close to the sheds, soon eat up all the
feed within range and consequently
suffer If the shearing process is long
deferred, as it often has been with
uncertain manual labor to do the
work. But the sheep men say there
is economy in the machine shearing

BORAH FOR PRESIDENT.
Idaho Senator Mentioned as Com.
promise Candidate.

Senator Borah of Idaho was yester-
day advocated as compromise can
didate on the Republican ticket for
president of the United States, and
by one of the leading Republican pa
pers of New York City.
The New York Evening Post takes
the position that neither Roose, cit
nor Taft, il nominated, can be elected
and suggests the name of Senator
Borah as compromise candidate for
president.
In view of the bitter strife between
the Taft and Roosevelt factions the
Post says compromise is necessary
to save the party. Senator Borah, it
says, is reasonably progressive and
at the same time is not lined up with
either faction and would be accepta-
Bile to both.

Rafting Logs from Bprnt District in
Northern Idaho to Mills.

Spokane, March 14.-Seventy- five
million feet of sawlogs, chiefly white
pine, is contained in drives to be
started on the Occur d'Alene, st. Joe
and st. Maries rivers in northern
Idaho late this month or early in
April. The drive on the Occur
d'Alene river, amount to 40,OOO,OOO
feet and is the largest yet sent down
that stream. The drives on the St.
Maries river total 2O,O0O,0O0 feet and
those on the st. Joe are estimated at
100000 feet.
Most Of the logs are from the burn
ed over national forest districts,
which were swept by flames in Au-
gust 1910, when more than 100 fire.
fighters lost their lives and several
million dollars worth of property was
destroyed or scorched. Six weeks to
two months will be consumed in
reaching the lakes wheer the logs will
be sent to mills in northern Idaho and
eastern Washington. Large drives
also are planned in other parts of Ida
no, Washington, Oregon and Montana
thus giving employment to many riv-
er men.
