FRESNO, Jan. 19.-Absolute belief
in the innocence and integrity of Olaf
Tvietmoe and Anton Johannson, in
dicted for conspiracy in the Nc
Namara cases, with pledges of moral
and financial support were declared
by the California Building Trades
Council here today which adopted
strongly worded report of the COM
mittee which unanimously approved
the annual report of Secretary Treas

action is 'dastardly in character" and
that such indictments are a conspiracy

MORGAN LEADS IN MOULDING REVENUE LAW
FORMER JUROR IS FOR
NEW COURT HOUSE

Walter E. Fiscus of Potlatch, who
heartily endorses the new court house
plan, in a letter to Morgan & Morgan
received today. In the course of the
letter he referred to the homeless con-
dition of the county commissioners,
and a Star-Mirror reporter asked J. E.
Hall about the statement.
"Mr. Fiscus states nothing but
facts" declared County Commissioner
John E. Hall, ''but he doesn't make it
strong enough. Time and again the
county commissioners have been fore
ed to adjourn because there was a
case on in the probate court, and one
in the district court at the same time.
We are absolutely homeless wander
ers, except when no one else wants
to use the rooms"
POTI4ATCTI, Ida, Jan. IS, 1912. Mr..
A. L. Morgan, Moscow, Ida, Dear Sir:
Would like to say in regard to build
ing a new court house that l am in
favor of protecting the valuable rec
ords of Latah county. And Think
that building new court house would
be much better than repairing the old
one for the county would be put to a
great cost, considering the benefits to
be derived therefrom, and after it was
repaired it would be an old building
in a way What Latah county needs is
a good court house with fire proof
vaults so that our records would be
safe.
The old court house at present is
entirely too small and it does not af
ford any protection at all to the rec
ords.

Gull Cash Value"

When the committee came to the
section that defines the recently-made-
famous term full cash value it ap-
pointed Representatives Burrell, Bald
ridge and Wood to draw up an amend
ment that shall really definite the term
and then adjourned, leaving the sub
committee to wrestle with the prob
lem. Mr.. Morgan pointed out that the
article in the original bill gave four
different and distinct definations of
the term full cash value" and he
urged that one standard definition be
adopted in the bill

Wife WINS FIGHT FOR
PARDON OF BANKER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Jubilant
over the pardon extended her husband,
Mrs. Chas. Morse is speeding south
ward today from here to the side of
Morse, who been confined two years
for misapplication of bank funds.
AS soon as his condition permits
she will take him abroad, she says.
The department of justice officials said
that Taft would have pardoned Morse
two months ago when the physicians
said the case was hopeless, but owing
to the mans prominence he feared
criticism.

Cooney of Chicago, testified.
This turn in the investigation, it is
reported, was made on Darrows as
sertion when the McNamaras confess
ed that: "In view of the developments
there was not other course Open"
The probers are anxious to ascer-
tain if Darrow's agents know any
thing that would connect labor offic-

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19.-Unusual
activity around the offices of Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks today
strengthened the report that he may
arrive here before night. Attaches
will not talk. The county grand jury
which is Investigating matters, out
growing from the Mcnamara cases, is
scheduled resumed work this after
noon. 1t is reported that Fredericks'
return means probably more indict-
mentS.

One who is not familiar with the
work at the offices does not know what
handicap our county officers have to
work under in discharging their du-
ties. All the offices are too small by
half, except the probate judges office
and that is very poorly arranged. The
sheriffs office is poorly arranged as
also is the Jail. The way they are
located it is impossible for the sher-
iff to handle the prisoners without a
loss once in awhile and if Latah coun-
ty were not fortunate in securing a
sheriff and deputies that are willing
to eat and sleep on the job the loss
would be greater.
And so far as the court room is
concerned l suppose about all the
citizens that have attended court know
all about that, and how impossible it
is to get proper ventilation through it,
and the jury room, it is needless to
say anything about that, for any of the
men that have served as jurors can
tell all about that I remember it
we'll for | served two terms of court as
a juror at Moscow.
The county commissioners are with
out a home and they have to dodge
from the probate judges room to the
district court room, and l suppose if
it were not for the need of dry wood
they would share the house with the
jurors and use the other end of the
woodshed.

a vote of thanks to the county.
The rebel maneuver in the house in
effort to get house bill No. l out of
the special committee failed. Indica-

an agreement and pass the tax COM

both adjourned until Monday morning
when the bill is to be reported back
by the committee and no action can
be taken until then. If passed the bill
will be a compromise.

sions of the afternoon was the one
which came up when the committee
came to section which provides thai
the tax commissioners may call on
any person or firm for it's books, and
may use them in making it's investiga-
tions. The bill further provides that
proceedings of that kind shall be had
behind closed doors, and that the COM
mission shall not divulge any informa-
ton it may receive from those books
but shall merely put in it's records the
result of such investigation.
Mr.. Morgan submitted an amend
ment providing a fine of $4,000 or
Imprisonment from one to 10 years for
any person divulging or attempting to
obtain any information that the COM
mission might gain from it's inspection
Of the books of any person or firm.
Mr. Black took the other side of the
question, opposing both Mr.. Morgan's
amendment and the section it amend
ed He called attention to the evil he
said would result from a state COM
mission making an investigation be-
hind closed doors of a corporations S
books and then publishing only it's
conclusion, giving the people no
chance to know what that conclusion
was based on.
Mr. Morgan backed up his conten-
ton by discussing the advantage the
competitor of any firm under investi-
cation might gain from the knowledge
it might receive of the business secrets
of that firm.

Definition Of Property.

In going over the second article of
the bill, which opens by defining real
and personal property, the committee
INDUCED in warm discussion on that
defining clause. The bill contained
one clause that defined standing tim
Der owned separately from the land
it stands on as personal property. Mr..
Morgan condemned that clause as
vicious in that it subjected that
property to the summary laws that
govern the sale of personal property
for delinquent taxes. He submitted an
amendment that strikes out the clause
altogether and substitutes one on
different subject.
The substitute clause refers to lev
les on land that is hooded for power
reservoir purposes Mr.. Morgan ex-
planned that the clause was designed
to strike certain corporations in the
northern part of the state that dam up
Idaho streams to generate power for
Washington and Oregon and then pay
no taxes on the land, using the argu-
ment that since it is flooded it is
worthless. He said he believed no
man or firm has any right to destroy
the taxable value of any property in
the state, and that if that value is
destroyed taxes should be paid on the
just the same as thought the
taxable value were still there.
Mr.. Jayne and Mr.. Black were ap-
pointed a subcommittee to put Mr.
ideas into the form of an
that will strike at the evil
but will not affect land flooded or
made untillable through agricultural
reservoirs,

(From Mondays Daily Examiner
 Douglas, June 23-Dr. F. w. Ran dall, supervising physician at the coun- ty hospital has been offered the posi- tion of surgeon major in the ranks of the Madero forces, which are soon to leave for Chihuahua to operate against Orozco and his red flaggers. Dr. Ran dall, while grateful for the honor, did not consider the proposition, his local practice and hospital work compelling him to refuse it.
 Dr. Randall endeared himself to the hearts of the MeXicans of Sonora when during the Madero revolution he vol Iunteered his services as surgeon. Be- ginning at the time of the battle of Agua Prieta, his promotion was rapid. At the close of the trouble he was the chief surgeon in Sonora, holding the rank of major in the Madero army.

FIREMAN FLYNN A
 PHYSICAL WONDER

East Las Vegas, N. M., June 24.-Dr. Edwin R. Shaw of Las Vegas, a prac- titioner for 30 years, and a surgeon for the Santa Fe railway most of that time, recently examined Jim Flynn and Jack Johnson, principals in this city s heavyweight championship combat on July 4th. He also took new measure ments of the two renowned ringsters. Dr. Shaw was loud in his praise of the two men. However, Flynn came in for his happiest send-off. Dr. Shaw's S comment on the Puebloan, given under his own signature at the request of Jack Curley follows:
 "I regard Jim Flynn as one of the most magnificent specimens of physi- cal development I have ever examined. His eyesight is normal; his heart and lungs normal in every particular; like wise his abdominal organs. In fact, I do not find flaw in the man in any particular at all. He seems to have wonderful endurance, the altitude not affecting him in the least, and he cer- tainly ought to be able to withstand a great deal of punishment"

(From Mondays Daily Examiner
 Ray, Ariz., June 23.-During the month of May the mining division of the Ray Consolidated Copper compa- ny surpassed all previous records in output and men employed, and aggre- gated a higher sum for new equipment than in any other month since the main work at shaft No. 2 was finish ed. This gradual increase will con tinue until the production of ore has reached an approximate tonnage of s. 900 tons per day.
 In May 2,100 cars of crushed ore were shipped to Hayden, making the months deliveries 126,000 tons.
 While this is but a perceptible in crease over April's output the develop ment, blocking out and breaking under ground is far beyond that of the pre- mious month and the conditions for June are such that a higher tonnage is looked for. The pay roll totalled $145,- 900.

 MT. Lindsey very quietly informed him he would be allowed three hours in which to come across with the tax and left the store. Shortly before the three hours was up MT. Lindsey called MT. Grothous on the phone and asked him if he was ready to pay.
 MT. Grothous still was not willing, but on being informed that the Pound haster was ready to swear out war rant for him, told MT. Lindsey to come and get his money, but that was the very thing Lindsey could not see
 MT. Grothous was informed that the Poundmaster had come for the money once and had missed being thrown out by a very narrow margin, and if MT. Grothous wanted to head off the warrant his three hours were nearly up and he would have to hurry.
