DEFEAT OF BORAh
!. LOSS TO nation
SAYS BR|ST0W
Kansas Senator Declares
Failure to Return Him
Would Be Serious Blow to
Good Government.

The possibility of failure on the
part of the state of Idaho to re-elect
Senator William +. Boran to the
United States senate is viewed with
even more seriousness outside than II
is in the state. That Senator Borah
has strong and influential colleagues
who view with alarm the possibility Of
the failure to re-elect him is evident
from a letter received today by s. f.
Blaine, chairman of the Ada county
Republican committee, from Senator
Joseph l.. Bristow, of Kansas, head
of the committee on expenditures in
the postoffice department, who de-
clares that the defeat of no member
of the senate would be more unfortun-
ate at this time than that Of Senator
Borah. His letter Is as follows:
Salina. Kan. Sept. rs. 1912.
Hon. S. F.. Blaine Chairman Republic
can County Central Committee,
Boise. Idaho.
My Dear Mr.. Blaine:
| am interested in the candidacy OF
my friend w. r. Borah, for the United
States senate. He has been such a use
full legislator and has been SO strong
and aggressive in behalf of TIE right
things, standing always for progress
sive policies, that l should regard his
defeat as a serious loss to the coun-
try. He is not only man OF unusual
ability, but Is courageous and effec-
tive fighter. and the country needs just
such men as he in the senate at this
time. I can think Of no member OF
the body whose defeat would be more
unfortunate at this time than that OF
Senator Borah. His fine legal ability
and his upright purposes make him
not only a distinguished but a most
useful member OF the senate.
l wish ! could come to Idaho per-
sonally and speak in lis behalf. but
fear it will be impossible. If there Is
anything that I can do from this dis
lance to aid him in his fight, l want to
do 1t.
With kindest regards, am,
Very truly yours,
JOSEPH BRISTOW

FORMER CASHIER
Of BOISE STATE
BANK INDICTED
E. S. Clapp Must Answer
Charge of Making False
Reports to the State Bank
Commissioner.

T. S. Clapp, former cashier OF the
Boise State bank. has been indicted on
two counts by the Ada county grand
Jury. The indictments charge him with
making false reports of the affairs.
financial condition and property OF the
Boise State bank" to the state bank
commissioner.
The indictments charge Clapp with
reporting, in conjunction with Edward
Payne as president and j. w. Mehargue
rs director false statements of the con-
aition of the bank on the close of BUSH
ness April 81, 1910. The report shows
a cash on hand of $22,054.05 when the
Indictment says there was but $lS.-
O44.70. The banks statement also corr
tanned under the head of undivided
profits" s1O,O53.47 when there should
have been, it is said, but s629o.73.
Under the head of balance due from
the Bank of Commerce at Lewiston,
the report says the Boise State bank
should receive $4,000, when as mat
ter of fact, according TO the indictment.
the Bank of Commerce did not owe the
Boise State bank one cent.
The papers also brand the statement
that the president and directors had a
liability in the bank of but $16,5OO as
absolutely false The actual amount of
liability was $29,343.22, 1t is said.
Two indictments have. been returned
by the grand jury against Clapp, max =
Ing HE same charges and mentioning
the same report which it claims was
In violation of the state banking laws.
In each of the papers, the names OF
Edward Payne and j. w. Meharsue APP
pear, and Clapp is charged with making
the report, with them, to the state bank
commissioner.
Several witnesses were on the stand
this morning before the grand jury and
others were waiting their turn at tes-
tifying. 1t is presumed most of them
had to do with the condition of the
bank, although the work of the grand
fury is not yet finished.
The bond of L. S. Clapp was fixed at
$500 and was signed by Fred Cool and
A. l.. Freehafer.
Another Indictment Against Payne.

Bots" state bank, was returned by the
Adj - grand jury this morning
ar afternoon he made bond or

The last indictment charges Payne
with approprating $4,000 out Of thu
deposits of the Idaho State Life III
suranve company held in trust by tbs
bank. The embezzlement is said t,
have been committed on Aug 5, 1911
and the money was transferred from
the company's account to the per
sonal account of the president, it 1.
charged.
The bond was fixed al $1,000 in thi
as in other cases. and Mike Haley ant

LICENSE
IS GRANTED CLUB
Buffet Will Be Re- estab.
lished as Result of Action
by the Council:

The city council this afternoon voted
TO issue liquor license to the Boise
Commercial club. all the councilmen
voting in the affirmative with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Eichelberger, who voted
against the proposition, not favoring
the granting OF any more licenses in
the city The application was made by
the club through its president, c. j.
Sinsel. and was granted on motion or
Councilman Harrington, seconded by
Mr.. Woodcock.
This step Is the first that will be
taken by the club to re-establtsh the
buffet 1t had before the state supreme
court decided clubs had to take out
liquor licenses in the same manner that
saloons are required to do. At the first
meeting of the county commissioners
the club will ask for u county license
and will take any other steps that are
necessary to get the buffet properly
legalized before it is opened again
The total cost of the license will be
close to $3.50. There has been quite a
good deal of opposition among the mem
bers of the club to the reopening of
the buffet but the directors have finally
decided to put 1t in operation again
A tentative agreement to this effect
was made at the last big meeting OF
the club when the members expressed
themselves as In favor OF the buffet
the dining room and other conveniences
that the Organization had before.
Since the supreme court decision re-
curing a regular liquor license for clubs
as well as saloons the question has been
before the members. No definite action
has been taken by the directors. how
ever, in spite Of a general understand
ing that the buffet would be opened as
soon as conditions at the club and IN
, the budget warranted it, This has
now, evidently, been Strengthened out
and the organization will take whatever
steps are necessary for the securing OF
the proper licenses that will enable il
to open a buffet in the club rooms.

BITTERNESS IS
SHOWN IN COURT
BY ATTORNEYS

PENDANT, his colleague and opposing

charge of the violation of confidence
and trust is not only made in the briefs
submitted to the court for considera-
ton but 1t was as openly laid before
the court by Attorney Syms and d.
rected against Attorney Harding. For
over an hour the court heard the ar
gument on both sides including the de-
nunciation and then took the case un-
der advisement.

Wichita, Kan, April 11-While the
Chicago White Sox were here on their
way north Manager Callahan was dis
cussing the various players, and during
the conversation expressed the opinion
that the fans had much to do with the
making and unmaking of baseball
players.
Take the case of Rollie Zeider," said
Callahan, eff he believed that he could
play second and could convince him
self of the fact he would be just as
effective at the keystone as he is at the
initial sack" When you come to think
of it these words of the manager seem
true.
Zeider was in bad as a second base
man. 1t seemed that every time that
he booted ball it meant the loss of
the game He simply couldn't err
without its proving expensive. The
fans got after him. They hooted when
he went to the field. The result was
that Zeider got to believing that he
couldn't play second base. and when
once ball player loses that confidence
he loses about all there is effect We
about him. Then he was given A
chance at first base He was away 10
a tying start. The fans were in a
jovial mood. They were willing to let
bygones be bygones, and they gave him
a great sendoff, and Zeider was a diff
ferenJ ball player. In the one position
the fans Were with him. He felt that
start. He had his confidence and he
was a whale OF ball player.
