Bates Case to be
Retired in the
Federal Court.
URY UNABLE TO REACH VERDICT
AND is DISCHARGED BY
JUDGE DIETRICH,

After having been out since S
O'Clock Friday night, the jury in
the case OF the United States
against Oliver II. Bates at 3
O'Clock reported as unable to
agree, and were discharged bv
Judge Dietrich. Bates was re-
manded to the custody of the
sheriff. United States District
Attorney Lingenfelter declared
yesterday shortly after the Jury
was dismissed that he would
have the case retired as soon as
possible.
During the last few hours of
their deliberation the jury stood
IL to / for conviction on all four
counts. While nothing official
was given out, it is understood
that several more had favored
acqulttal when the first few bal
lots were taken. All of these iur-
ors were won over by the others
with the exception OF one man.
who held out for acquittal.
At noon yesterday the jury re-
turned to the court room for ad
ditional instruction. They asked
the court to tell them what the
penalty would be in case the de-
fendant was found guilty on the
second count, which charged
Bates with purchasing tickets for
the two girls upon which they
Travelled across the border. The
jury was informed that the mat
ter of penalty was left entirely
to the discretion of the judge and
that their sole duty was to pass
upon the guilt or innocence of the
accused man. 1t is supposed
that the lone juror holding out
for acquitlal had thought the
punishment too great and the
Others sought to learn what this
would be on a single count in or
der to arrive at verdict if pos
sible.
Bates was indicted under the
Mann Act and charged with hav.
ing transported Alice Wingard
and Della Johnson from Canada
to Idaho for immoral purposes.
After arriving here Bates married
the Wing ard woman. Della John-
son, the other girl. was the gov
ernment's principal witness in
the case.

One Week in April Set Aside When
Everyone Will Ask for Idaho

A "Home Industry Week" is
proposed to the women OF Idaho.
During this week. which will be
from April IA ITO 10, every woman

The demand tor home products
created by this campaign will re
suit in the purchase of thousands
OF dollars worth Of Idaho-made
articles, and will bring to thous
ands of people the fact that they
can get just as good products,
made in Idaho as are made IN
any state.
Think of 1t! If q hundred thou
sand women in Idaho ask for a
product during "Ilome Industry
Week." what an impetus it will
give that business. Ifone- halt or
even ne-fourth OF that number
continue to use that product. the
success OF that manufacturer is
assured.
When one manufacturing indus
try prospers it transmits pros
perity to it's neighboring indust-
ry, 1t your neighbor makes mon
ey he will spend part OF it With
you, and you will both benifit.
Every man and every woman in
Idaho can help build up the state
by purchasing articles made in
Idaho during the week of April
IA to 10.
Ask your home merchant what
he has for sale that was "made
in Idaho"
1t the home--m
goods prove satisfactory, contin-
lie to use them. and you will be
aiding in the upbuilding of Idaho
by encouraging its manufacture
ing industries.
The goods manufactured in
Cassia County that form A part
OF Idaho's product are:
Flour. Corn meal. Graham,
Home cured Hams, Salt Sides,
Sausage, and Lard, also fresh
meats of all kinds; Sugar, Butter
Home made Pickles, Honey, Bot
tied fruits and vegetables. In
addition to these named which
are classed edibles there are also
a number of serviceable articles
that form building material and
other uses such as our local bricks
finished Wood work, western
coal or electricity for cooking
and hea ting, also alfalfa seed and
many other small grains. The
use of such articles furnish a
market for every thing grown or
manufactured in Idaho and will
guarantee the success OF every
factory established.
Let every merchant make spe-
cialtY OF selling Idaho goods on
that day, advertise your home
product and people will buy.
