San Franeisco's IL year fight for the
inexhaustibie water supply came to an
end early this morning. The signing
OF the bill by the president was his
first important official act of the day.
He accompanied 1t with a brief state
nent declaring that he believed that
the needs Of the region could not be
better served in any other way.
The news came as welcome re-
lief to the anxious city officials, who
within which the president could

Mayor Rolph yesterday. saying that
no news had been received from the
White House, mad cast a cloud OF
uneasiness over all those who We're

bed.1ast night considerably worried.

dent Wilson had not signed the bill
The whole city was on the qui vive.
Before some people were out of bed
this morning came the dispatch that
marks one OF the biggest epochs In
the history of San Francisco.
City Attorney Percy V. Long, who
also returned recently from Washing
ton. heard the news and cried:
Fine. fine, I expected it. I could
not see how the president could do
otherwise. Our troubles are over.
1t has been a long fight and hard
one. l wish to congratulate the news

condemnation suit against the Spring

of the necessary steps in the devel-

be sufficient to operate all our munich
pal railway system and light the city.
We will also have a surplus which we
must sell at cost to the farmers and
irrigationists, as well as to the vari-
Gus industries that will spring up be-
cause of the low power rates. All
the interests of the irrigationists are
protected. We will make it easier
for them to get an adequate and uni

very inconvenient They have found
it difficult to secure sufficient exer-
else.
The persistency with which MEM
bers-elect of the legislature are con-
stantly referring to impeachment pro-
ceedings makes an issue before the
present legislature that it is now be-
lieved will have to be faced. The at
titude of the court in taking the stand
that "the legislature has not the in
herent authority to restrict the in
herent power of the court to punish
for contempt" has aroused the indig-
nation of the legislators.
The claim is made here that the end
is not yet in the famous contempt
case and that the liberation of the
prisoners means but the starting of
movement in Idaho that may ulti-
mately result in the trial of its three
justices on impeachment charges and
place the judicial recall over all
judges at present on the bench in this

Accused Minister Convicted of ScandalOus

After a careful consideration of the
evidence and the law in his case
which lasted almost IL hours, the jury
at 2:45 o'clock this morning returned
a verdict pronouncing Rev. D. M. Hand
guilty Of criminal intimacy with Hazel
Benedict, a member of the congrega-

and delivered the written verdict into
hands of the judge.
'Mr. Clerk, you will enter the YER

directed Judge Steele, and for several
moments there was an absolute still

by the scratching of the pen of Adrian

This is the wording of Section 6768

of the Idaho code, which applies to
Mr.. Hands case, the indeterminate
sentence law applying to this case in
such manner as not to change the
minimum of the prescribed sentence.
1t was stated by Mr.. Hands attor-
neys this morning that an appeal was
being considered and that probably a
fight would be made before the su-
preme court In the meantime, how
ever, the defendant is in the custody
of the sheriff. No date has yet been
fixed for the passing of sentence.
Probably no case in Latah county
ever attracted SO great attention as
the Hand case, as it was popularity
known. The minister had not only
been a prominent worker in his own
church, but had been the leader in the
movement which brought the Lowry
meetings to Moscow, and was the press
reporter and a most active worker
during these meetings.
From this cause the news of the min
ister's arrest was almost unbelievable,
but an investigation of the facts made
by the Star-Mirror showed the need
of publicity in regard to their minis
ter's relations with the younger mem
bers of the flock, and those investiga-
tions and their result related in the
evidence in the case had evident
weight with the jury.
Nothing that this paper stated in re-
gard to the case was based upon any
thing but absolute facts as near as
they can be ascertained and the YER
dict of the jury indicated that this
paper was justified in the publicity it
had given the case.

The public school system in Idaho is
being developed and perfected with
greater rapidity than that of any other
state. The progress made along these
lines in the last few years is astound-
ing.
No state pays such good salaries to
efficient instructors, and no state is
erecting such good buildings or spend
ing so much money for the equipment
of the schools as Idaho. While the
state is young a most favorable educa-
tional foundation has been made. This
Is an everlasting monument to the
efforts of the state superintendent and
the county superintendents. One. of
the great, good things is the recent
changing of the standard of teachers,
from the standpoint of efficiency as
well as certificatfon.
While talking to the superintendent
of Bingham county learned that when
she came into office two years ago,
there were less than 10 teachers in
the county who had training beyond
the high school. At the present time
there are about As university and nor
NAL school graduates out of a hundred
teachers. While in south Idaho I Wis
tied rural school six miles from a
town, and there I found a white brick
building, modern in every respect,
erected at a cost of $4,000 Here five
.eachers were doing good work Their
salaries ranged from $75 to s125 per
month.
Grade teachers command salaries of
rom $50 to 500 per month, while sci
,nce teachers, principals and superin-
endents are paid from $1,000 to $4,000 a
ear.
A large number of school boards
