NEXT IDAHO LEGISLATURE
INCREASED IN MEMBERSHIP
Addition of Three New Counties VIII
Cause Increase In Membership
in Both Branches.

Boise, Idaho.-There will be sixty
one members of the lower house in
the next legislature and thirty-one
senators unless three new counties
are created by direct vote of the peo-
pie.
But it is probable that the people
will decide in favor of the new coun-
ties, and in that event there will be
thirty-four senators and sixty-four
members of the lower house.
AS the bill passed the house it
failed to make provisions for the
counties of Madison and jefferson to
be carved out of old Fremont under
the enabling acts passed by the legis-
lature and for Valley county that it
is proposed to- carve out OF Boise. On
motion of Senator John w. Hart ii
was amended in the senate to provide
that in case these three new counties
were created each would be given one
senator and one member of the lower
house in the next legislature.
OF course it is still in the power Of
Governor Haines to veto any or all
of the bills intended to create Jeffer-
son, Madison and Valley counties. II
he does not and the people of the re-
spective communities vote favorably
on the creation of the new counties
the next representation in the lower
house will be as follows, with one
senator coming from each county in
the state:

BUlGARS Fight TIC FINISH
100000 MEN WE'RE ENGAGED.
Servians Have Lost More Men i'm
Present Campaign Than in the
Whole Previous War.

London, July AFTER 10 days'
tghting, more severe than any in the
last Balkan war, little light begins
TO break upon the obscure opera
tons. The Servians have lost more
men than in the whole previous
campaign, and semi-official state
ments from Belgrade have the ap-
pearance of preparing the public for
news of disaster.
Desperate fighting with fuctuat-
ing fortunes, is proceeding along the
Vardar and Bregalinitz rivers, ap-
parently to Bulgaria's advantage.
News has been received of the Bull
garian invasion of Servia through
Belogradehyk. The Bulgarians
claim to have defeated the Servians
and captured five guns and quantity
or other material, and by the occu-
/ patton of the passes. 10 have opened
the road to Nish, Servia's most i'm
portant fortified town.
There is heavy fighting between
the Servians and Bulgarians south
OF Istip and in the neighborhood of
Kotchana. About 100000 men are
engaged and the losses on both sides
appear heavy.
Bulgaria's strategy appears to be
TO mold the Greeks in check, prob
ably with comparatively small forces
while she deals with Servia.
Unconfirmed reports credit the
Bulgars with victories near Koprili
giving them the key to Uskup. and
with an outfianking movement from
the south of Tahymos lake which
would cut of the Greek retreat.
Saloniki dispatches report that the
creeks have captured 16 guns at
Doiran. Evidence of desperate fight
ing is found in the arrival of 5000
wounded at Saloniki.
A conservative estimate of the
Killed or wounded N last weeks
hghting is from 10000 to 100000

from the scene of fighting are pour-
ing into Saloniki.

POSTPONES VOTE
ON LOBBY PROBE
House Defers Final Action on In
quiry Until Wednesday-AII
Seem to Wish 1t.

Washington, July 5.-The house
wrestled several hours today with a
proposal for lobby investigation on
its own account and finally deferred
a vote until Wednesday. Although
debate had been limited to our hour,
1T ragged throughout the entire sit
ting and ignoring warnings of Re-
publican Leader Man to "get down to
business" adjournment was forced
on lack of quorum.
Apparently sentiment was almost
unanimouhs for an investigation re-
solution from the rules committee,
comprising not only an investigation
by committee of seven of Martin M.
Mulhalis charges that congressman
had been influenced by the lobby of
the National Association of Manu-
bling was going on at Stuart & Har-
lobby situation. Before the house
adjourned all amendments accepted
had been to broaden the scope. The
house investigation will probably be
distinct from that of the senate.
The most noteworthy features was
the elimination of a provision for
the employment of counsel by the
house committee. Representative
Levy of New York, opposed to the
investigation, suggested the possibili-
ty that Samuel Untermeyer, counsel
for the money trust" committee
night be contemplated Representa-
tive Henry OF Texas defended Inter
meyer and lauded HIS work. adding
that he had no idea who was con
templated as counsel for the lobby
inquiry.
Finally the provision for counsel
was dropped. Mr.. Henry next We'd
nesday will renew the fight for en-
proyment of cunsel.
An unsuccessful effort was made to
limit the time foT report OF the com
mittee to September l, next, and an
amendment was still pending specifi-
cally to require that all hearing be
open.

FLORIDA CROWD
LYNCHES NEGRO
After Negro is Captured He is
Taken to Scene of His Crime
and Killed.

Jacksonville, Fla, July G. Sher-
if Cherry of Clay county was shot
and instantly killed by Roscoe Smith,
a negro, at Yellow River this morn
ing, the negro later beng captured
and lynched by a mob of infuriated
citizens.
Sheriff Cherry, hearing that gam
bling was gong on at Stuart &Har-
rlSon's turpentine still at Yellow
River, started for that point, ac-
compained by one of his deputies.
AS he reached there he met the negro
Smith, who, armed with a shotgun,
was walking down the road Sheriff
Cherry hailed the negro and asked:
what are you doing with that gun ?
Wait minute, / want to see Won -
The negro made sons reply and the
sheriff left his buggy and started to-
ward the negro. AS he neared Smith
the latter took aim and fired. the load
entering the sheriff's side killing
him instantly. The deputy, who was
armed with a revolver, started in
pursuit of the negro, but his revol-
yer failed to fire. AS the news of the
tragedy spread, posse was formed
and fully 100 men, headed by a pack
OF bloodho6nds for Highlands. start
ed in pursuit of the negro, who was
finally captured. He was taken back
to the scene of his crime and com
manded to take a walk down the
the road. AS he started, fully 100
guns and revolvers were fired at him
the bullets riddling his body. The
angry mob then surged around the
dead negro and his ears were cut off
for souvenirs.
Sheriff Cherry was one of Flori.
da's most popular officers and was
well known in this city, where he
spent much time. Reports from the
the scene of crime tonight are that
everything is quiet, but the negroes
fearing further trouble, are keeping

TARIFF HAS EASY SAILING
DEMOCRATS WILL STAND PAT.
Chairman Simmons Satisfied With
Showing and Will Report Meas
ure to Senate This Week.

Washington, July 7.-Forty-seven
Democratic senator's stood up in the
party caucus one by one late today
and declared their intention to vote
for the Underwood-Simmo tariff
revision bill as finally approved by
the caucus a few minutes previously.
Two senator's, Ransdell and Thorn
ton, of Louisiana, stated that they
would not make such promises be-
cause of the proposal to place sugar
on the free list in 1915 Senators
Hitchcock of Nebraska and Culber-
son of Texas were absent, but both
are known to be in favor of the bill
This gives the Democrats 40 votes
for the bill, or a slender majority of
one, with the vote of the Vice Presi-
dent to fall back on in an emer-
gency.
An absolute binding resolution was
not adopted, the poll by individuals
being substituted and that poll was
put only on the ground of personal
promise and was not made binding
A resolution was adopted, however,
declaring the Underwood-Simm
bill a party measure and urging it's
undivided support without amend
ment unless such should be submit
ted by the committee. Senator New
lands of Nevada cast the only vote
against this resolution but Senators
Shafroth of Colorado, Ransdell and
Thornton. did not vote.
RESOLUTION AGREED TO.
The resolution was as follows:
Resolved, that the tariff bill agreed
to by the conference, in it's amended
form, is dclared to be a party meas
ured and we urge it's undivided sup
! port as duty by Democratic SEN
ators without amendments. Provid-
! ed, however, that the conference or
the finance committee may, after
| reference or otherwise propose
amendments to the bill.
Senator Kern, chairman of the
caucus, and Chairman Simmons of
the finance committee, expressed
entire satisfaction with the outcome
and declared their confidence that
enough votes were personally pledg-
ed to assure the passage of the meas
ure with free wool and free sugar
included.
1t became at once apparent when
ton which would bind members alb
solutely to the bill without amend
ment was distasteful to many sena-
tors. The resolution therefore was
modified and presented in the form
of a party declaration. Before this
was put to a vote, the motion was
made that senators be asked fatty as
to their intention regarding the
measure and this was agreed to- The
roll was then called.
