members entered into solemn covenant

Whitman Chief Witness.

Charles S. Whitman, District Attorney
was the principal witness before the com
mittee yesterday. He was the last WIZ
ness TO testify. Though Mr.. whitman
was in the hands of lis political enemies
he was frank TO express his Ideas IN re-
gard n police matters. His testimony
was NOT lengthy. however and he confined
himself mostly TO answering specific ques-
tions asked by Mr.. Wagner.
Mr.. Whitman considered the idea OF
senarating the control Of vice from tho
Police Department bad one In his
opinion. the proposition TO delegate the
enforcement of the laws against gam
bling. excise and the social evil to
..board of social welfare" was absurd.
He said the Police Commissioner should

tarros of Office should be co-extensive. lie

souarely I'D to tho head of the city gov
eminent He thought the whole situation
was a question of administration rather
than legislation.
When Whitman took the witness stand
Chairman Wagner asked him II he couid
make any suggestions on the line OF
remedial legislation
ON connection with the control or the
Police Department especially" asked
Mr.. Whitman.
"To help solve the problem which is
rnnsrmost in everybodys mind to-day,
said Senator Wagner.
IL am inclined to think" said the Dis
,r,ct Attorney. "that the present plan for
tbe control of the Police Department Is

In minor details fancy It can be Inn

TOO much legislation on the subject and
too many mandatory provisions In the

thoroughly familiar, but as a whole l
think the scheme or the plan Is as good
as can be devised.

Il think that the Police Commissioners
should be appointed by the Mayor, as
nrovided by the charter. ] think that his

The Nayor. That is not provided by the
charter altogether, but it practically
amounts to that think the term for
which the Police Commissioner Is ap-
po,nted should not extend beyond that OF
the Mayor who appoints him. 1 think
tha Mayor is naturally the head OF the
CITY government. He Is chosen by the
people toNcontroi the departments OF the
city government. He is the one man that
,s directly responsible to the people. In

SUMNER SCHOOL

Moscow, Idaho, April II The Sc.
cond annual Summer Session of the
University of Idaho will be held this
year beginning on June 16 and end
ing July %. The First Annual Sum-
mer Session was held at the Uni.
vepsity last year, and it was such a
success that the university author
tiles have decided to extend the
scope of work for the second ses-
sion.
This years summer school will be
somewhat different from the one
held last year. The scope of work
to be given will be broadened. Last
year the session was designed chief
ly for teachers and for those pre-
pairing themselves for that profession.
This year, however, while the work
will be such as to appeal to and bene
fit superintendent, principals and
high school teachers and teachers
engaged in conducting all grades of
school work; and while 1t will bene-
fit those fitting themselves for the
various state and county examina.
tions for certificates, particular at
tention will be given to regular col
lege work. The session will be con-
Quoted SO that university students
may receive college credits; and also
that those who desire to make up de-
ficiency entrance credits may do So
This will be new and added feature
Of the summer session, and will ap.
peal to university students and to
those fitting themselves for college
entrance.
By attending three Summer SEES.
sions at the University, students will
now be able to graduate In three and
a half years. This 10 the same sys.
tenn now in force in many state uni
versities and colleges.
A feature of the session will be the
attention given to agricultural sub
jects. Courses in animal husbandry
dairying. farm crops, horticulture
soils and other kindred subjects will
be given. The entire equipment and
buildings of the agricultural depart
ment of the University, together with
the experiment station farm and
buildings will be turned over to the
use and instruction Of those students
OF the session who wish instruction
and training in agricultural subjects.
The faculty for the Summer Session
will be madeup from the regular uni
versity faculty. together with the
strongest educators obtainable from

GOLD MEDAL TO BE AWARDED

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and 15
who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 800 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads, is to
be awarded by Logan Waller Page,
director, Office of Public Roads,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. G. All compo-
sitions must be submitted to Mr..
Page before May Is, 1918, and the
medal will be awarded as soon there
after as the compositions can be grad
ed. The composition may be based
on knowledge gained from books or
other sources, but no quotations
should be made.
After many years. experience in
dealing with the public road situa-
ton of the country, 1t is Mr.. Pages
belief that ignorance on the subject
of repair and maintenance of roads
is as much the cause of their bad
condition as any other one factor. -
1t is expected that the competition
will bring about better understand.
ing of the subject Of repair and main
tenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad.
vantages of roads made impossible
through lack of proper maintenance
and it is expected that their inter
est in the competition will stimulate
greater interest among the parents
Bad roads have prevented many chill.
dren from obtaining a proper educa.
ton and have even prevented doctors
from reaching the side OF rural pa
tents in time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages men
toned, attending a country school
may compete. Only one side OF the
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered; the name, age
and address Of the writer, and the
name and location of the school
which he or she is attending must be
plainly written at the top Of the first
page. The announcement of the com
petition has been sent to the super
intendents of schools in the rura
districts. No further Information car
be obtained from the Office of Public
Roads. This announcement should b
plain to everyone, and all children
will thus start on basis Of equality.

other institutions and from various
parts of the state. The list Of the
faculty for the Summer Session 10
now being worked out, and Will be
made public In p few days.
The splendid facilities Tor accomo-
dating students at a Summer Session,
the extensive equipment, scientific
apparatus and libraries Of the univer-
sity, strong faculty and an ideal
climate were a few Of the factors
that made the first session mark
ed success. And these are some OF
the factors that will bring many to
Moscow again this summer to take
advantage Of the Second Summer
Session.

SAVING TREES clRDLED BY MICE
AND RABBITS

Notwithstanding the fact that most
of our growers took the necessary
precautions to protect their trees
this past winter from the invasion OF
mice and rabbits, upon Investigation
many were found to be damaged to
a depreciable extent. Are we going
to make an effort to save those
trees OF shall We let them die? In
the first place, 1t will not be neces-
sary to lose such trees, no matter how
bad the injury If we will apply our
selves Immediately. BY resorting to
any of the following methods the
trees may be saved.
First, IL the injury extends only
around a portion Of the tree and is
near the base, 1T will heal over In
one or two seasons, by banking UP
the soil over 1t. This should be done
before the wood becomes dry. The
soil should be piled about foot high
and pressed firmly around the base
of the tree. In case the wound can.
not be covered with soil, 1t should be
covered with soft grating wax and
wrapped with three or four layers Oh
burlap. New bark should soon form
under the cover II the exposed sur.
face has not become too dry. Trees
completely girdled have been saved
In this way.
Girdled trees can also be saved by
saving off below the injury and cleft
grating the stub. If the stub IL
over an inch in diameter, two cions
should be inserted which will hasten
the healing of the wound. At the
close Of the first season the weaker
one is removed. From the cion in
serted, a strong tree will be develop
ed in two or three years. Trees
that have been saved in this way VIII
come into bearing about as soon az
others not girdled, set at the same
time.
Another way to save the trees, d
the injury extends completely arount
the tree, lie by bridge grating. By
this system, cions which have beer
cut to q wedge at each end as FOL
cleft grating, are inserted In the hvt
bark thru openings cut above and be
low the wound. These cions will car
ry over the sap until the wound u
covered. The cions shouldb e abou'
two inches apart. After setting the
cions, the parts are waxed and Their
everything is covered with burlaI
This operation should be performed
before the buds have started to swell
A good wax to use for this kint
of work is made OF thefollowing IN
gradients: Resin, / h.; tallow, l o.
alcohol, 8 or. To make this alcohol
ic wax melt the resin and tallow to
gether. Then remove from the hr
and add the alcohol after allowing tn
liquid to cool somewhat. Stir unit
