PR0BERS PUT ON
FULL SPEED AHEAD
NEARLY 500 LETTERS READ IN.
TO RECORD IN DAYS
SESSION..
MULHALL POLITICAL ASPIRANT
Letters Of Manufacturers Mention
Him for Congress and See Sena-
toriaI Butterfly and Presiden.
tial Eagle lowering Near.

Washington, July 25.-The senate
lobby committee put on full speed
ahead and in an unusually short ses.
sion got into the record nearly 500
letters of Martin NJ. Mulhall, alleged
political worker and legislative detec-
tive for the National Association of
Manufacturers. Mulhall was on the
stand only about an hour after the
noon recess, but in spite of the short
session, the committee made rapid
progress and members hope to get
through with the correspondence
very soon. The committee will de-
eide then whether attorneys for the
association shall be permitted to
cross-examine the witness.
From the way in which Senators
Reed and Walsh already have re-
TERED to ross-examination it is prob
able that the only way the lawyers
viii be able to get at Mulha1l will be
by questions filtered to him through
the senators. Mulhalls testimony
covered slack period in the sum-
mer and fall of 1909 and the early
part of 1910, when there was nothing
to do in his line except to work on
strikes. tinker at few odd jobs in
politics and keep things generally
moving in Washington.
Tried to See Tammany Boss.
In several letters Mulhall told of
desire on his part to see Charles F.
Murphy. boss" of Tammany hall, in
the interest of the candidacy of
George Gordon Battle for governor of
New York. Mulhall was trying to
see Murphy through Herman Black,
who appeared in the correspondence
as an attorney of III Broadway. Null
hall swore that Black was a. sort of
confidential lawyer" to Murphy. He
said he never saw Murphy on this
matter and testified that Mr.. Battle
was man of the highest character.
and clean politically. A letter signed
Battle and Marshall' gave the only
indication, so far as the committee
has gone, that Battle ever heard Of
the interest Mulhall took in him. It
was Il perfunctory acknowledgment
that letter from MulEall had been
received.
MuIhalls personal political aspira-
items came into the proceedings again
when several letters were read in
which he was spoken of by officers

RURAL SCHOOLS AFFECTED.

Trustees of rural school districts
in Idaho can cut the length Of the
annual school term from five 10
four months. as the result of a
blunder in the drafting of house
bill No. 1893, passed by the last leg
lslature and signed by the Cover
nor. a ruling on which was rend-
cred Yesterday by Prosecuting At
torney GIvens. at the request of
Miss Wilson county superintendent
of schools. who has been delayed
in sending out the regular notices
of district meetings, pending the
settlement of legal questions.
While the intent of the bill,
which was introduced by the COM
mittee on education, was to pre-
scribe new rules for school dis
tricts, the chief purpose of the
amendment to section 81 of the
session laws of 1911, was to prevent
the districts from advertising the
notices of their annual meetings,
in newspapers. Not only did it do
this, but because when the bill was
drafted amending section 81 of the
laws of 1911. the important fact
that the section had been amend
ed in 1912 was overlooked. The law
of 1912 is now repealed. That law
provided that the minimum school
term should be five months.

WIDOWS TO HAVE
TWO EXEMPT|0
QUESTION RAISED ABOUT TAX
LAW ANSWERED BY ADA
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.

If a widow of an old soldier in
Idaho owns more than 81 900 worth
of taxable property, which Is ex-
empt under the law, and has fur
niture to the value of more than
$500. that also will be exempt, ac-
cOrding to the ruling of Raymond
l.. Givens, prosecuting attorney of
Ada county.
Legislation enacted by the last
session left the assessor in doubt
rs to whether ii was intended to
give the widows and old soldiers
exemptions of both the regular
81 600 and the 500 on furniture, or
whether the latter was included in
the former.
Under the law. as it now stands.
every person owning more than
$500 worth of household furniture,
has that amount exempt. while the
81 600 exemption is special one
and applies only to widows and old
soldiers. Under the attorneys opin-
ion the assessor must not tax the
first 81 900 of the widows proper
ty. no matter what that property
may be. or the widows first 500
of furniture. Only what she or the
old soldier OWNS. above these
amounts. can be assessed.

night a committee of the Woman's
Study Club, Mrs. b. NJ. Price, Mrs.

request for a general cleanup in

thOrities for employment in the
work Of certain prisoners in the
County jail.
The ladies also thought there
should be an appointed dumping
ground in some one or two Of
the lava caVerns and that the
scattering of the refuse Of the town
anywhere and everywhere around
the outskirts should be prohibited
~ providing too many nulsanceS
and unsightly places. The visit
ors expressed the hope also that
in the near approach Of fly time
there might be full cooperation
with them in looking after proper
sanitation in the alleys and the
other breeding places for flies.
It was the clearly expressed wish
of the ladies that the town should
not only be cleaned up now but
that it should be kept clean. and
they bespoke the active interest of

the present board had only few
weeks to serve and for that rea-
son he could not promise all that
was asked. hut he felt sure there
would be every assistance from the
new board to further the plans in
hand. To this end he said that he
would appoint a committee that
would take hold of the matter of

LATEST PRODUCT
OF THE LINOTYPE
JOURNAL TO HAVE BEST MA
CHINE MADE FOR IT'S
WORK.

The Journal is installing a new
Model X Mergenthaler linotype ma
chine, the latest product of the
great factory that has revolution
lied the printing business. In the
recent fire through which this of
flee passed the machine of the
same make then in use was badly
damaged. We have been crippled
ever since that time in getting out
the Journal but there was no
remedy except to do the best we
could and wait on the Mergenthal-
er people to supply new machine.
Theree. is only one other Model
K now in use In this part or the
country. 1t combines all the lat
est features of the great machine
with several new features to make
it specially adapted to our needs. In
a word the new machine sets up
Job printing type and all forms Of
advertisements as we'll as the US
nal plain reading matter. II has
readily at command Of the operator
five different fonts or kinds OF
type in as many sizes.
In all respects the Model X is a
splendid piece of machinery, far
and away ahead of any similar ap-
pliance in any printing office in
this part of the State. and entire
ty practical and useful for the
prompt execution of work in the
line of a modern printing office.
We feel that the Journal will be
fully equal to all demands of the
public with this new machine. Our
friends are invited to call and see
it run in the hands of OUT efficient
operator. Ed Kysela.

raised as TO whether it paid to keep
fowls of the right kind. Mr.. Dean
is very methOdical in habits and
after buying the chickens opened a
book account. Every time he op-
ened sack of feed for them he
charged up at prevailing retail
prices. | none year the hens ate
siS worth of feed, rs cents a head.
The output of the flock at prevail
ing retail prices amounted to S7t.
which is right at 50 per head, net
Of 1920 a head.
There is a lot of waste product

NEW SYSTEM OF
LIGHTS PROPOSED
PLAN TO PUT IN ILLUMINATION
AT EVERY STREET CR0S-
SING IN SH0SHONE.

There may be a new system OF
street lighting in ShOShOne, accord
ing TO plans submitted TO the trus-
tees last Monday night by j. H.
Seaver of the Great ShOshOne COM
pany, who proposed to furnish a
new Tumsten for every street eros
sing in town to slgpplant all the
arc lights except those along the
main business streets. The new
lights, so il is claimed, will be an
Improvement.
The hold-over members OF the
trustees, MesSrs. White, Beckett
and Bowler, were appointed by the
meeting TO look fully into the prac-
tical side of the matter and re-
port at the next meeting of the
trustees, to be held on the even
ing of the first Monday in May.
As the town is now lighted, many
streets are in darkness for the
want of more lights.
How easily mistakes may be made
was demonstrated in the work Of
canVassing the vote of ShOshOne.
which took place in the meeting
of the board of trustees of ShO-
shOne last Monday night, when it
wa found that the candidates for
the new board of town trustees
had actually received ten votes
more than the return shows. The
mistake was caused in summing up
the totals.
The trustees ordered the street
grader to be put in service at
once.
The matter of a general clean
up In town was given favorable
consideration as reported else
where,
