DANIEL W. is SATISFIED
Once Candidate For United States
Senate Agreeable to Lynch Hand
ling All Plums

If Daniel w. Lawler, late candi-
date for United States senator, has
any doubts as to the political wis
dom OF the selection of Fred b.
Lynch, national committeeman, as
federal patronage judge for Mime
sofa, he is keeping them strictly
within the four walls of his own
consciousness.
Although Washington dispatches
implied that Mr.. LaWler, who has
never been friendly toward Mr..
Lynch, would not be pleased to
learn of the selection of Lynch as
official dispenser of federal appoint
ments in this state, and that he In
fact wanted to have something to
say himself, Mr.. Lawler declared
Monday he was entirely satisfied. He
denied that he had made protest
against Mr. Lynch's dominance at
Washington.
Il shall be entirely satisfied with
anything the president does" said
Lawler. at is much to Mr. Lynch's
credit if he cares to take the respon.
sibility and it must be a great re-
lief to the president to have Mr..
Lynch here to take care of his ap.
pointments. | should like to see the
same system worked out in every
state in the Union giving the ma.
tional committeeman instead of con
gressmen the right to recommend
appointments. 1t would simplify mat.
ters a great deal and give the presi.
dent more time TO attend to public
business -

the Delicias dance pavilion in the north
ern edge of the city, Deputy Sheriff Laya
received a very serious bullet wound
through the hips and also a slight cut

trouble. He then offered to search Gar
cia. The latter backed away. The of
ficer followed, and attempted TO seize the
young man. Both fell to the ground, the

towards the right and coming out at the
rear of the right thigh, after passing
through the pelvic bone. He was taken
to the hospital and DR.. Harshbarger and
DR.. Stell attended him. Besides the bull
let wound, Laya also has a cut on the
forehead, possibly inflicted with a pistol.
Justice of the Peace Barbour took the
wounded mans deposition, in which Err
nesto Garcia is charged with the shoot
ing.
The latter was arrested shortly after
the shooting by Policeman Carlos Gar

sHostIoN IDAHO FRIDAY FEBRUARY d. 1918
BABY BURNED TO DEATH;
MOTHER SUFFERS INJURIES

GOODING, Feb. l6.--Fne at the
home of Charles A. Luther Sunday
morning caused the death Of his year
old baby and the serious burning Of the
mother.
The fire started about s o'clock
while Mrs. Luther was helping her
husband do the morning chores at the
barn some distance away and so was
not noticed until it had gained much
headway.
Mrs. Luther saw flames bursting from
the windows, and crying to her husband
she at once ran toward the house, but,
in going through barb wire fence, she
became entangIed and her husband
reached the house first.
He plunged in and carried the Oldest
son, aged 6, out unframed. but for a
slight burn on one foot, the second son,
3 years old, got out Of his own accord.
Mr.. Luther went IN again for the
baby, butswas unable to find it in the
dense smoke. Mrs. Luther then went
In to try to rescue the babe and found it
in the bed badly burned. She started
for she open but a portion Of the burning
building fell on her and burned her very
severely before she could release herself.
. Mr.. Newhouse, a neighbor saw the
fire, hurried to the place and took the
injured ones to his home. The baby
died there at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
Mrs. Luther is seriously burned on the
back and face and arms and the balls
Of her eyes are badly burned, but it is
thought she viii recover.
The general impression is that their
child started the fire as he is
addicted to playing with fire from the
kitchen stove Mrs. Luther narrowly
prevented fire last week when he start
ed some clothes burning with fire from
the stove.
The Luther home was called Desert
Home ranch and was cne and a half
miles west Of Gooding.

THE JOURNAL WILL
SOON Be RESTORED

The journal office is now partly re-
stored and the publisher hopes to be
able to place the establishment fully
on its best working basis in a few days,
from the effects Of the recent fire,
which was a mighty bad one for a
printing plant. The building is being
repaired for the office TO use until a
better location can be secured. Car
penters began this work Wednesday
morning, after an adjustment had been
made with the insurance companies.
New stock to take the place of that
which was damaged, together with other
material that escaped the slightest in
jury in the fire, will enable the man
agement to maintain the work OF the
office fully up to the high standard Of
excellence it has always held. Repairs
for the machinery were promptly ordered
and received.

Heavy Coal Produa.n

The concentration of the anthracite
industry OF Pennsylvania into strong
and relatively few units is shown by
the fact that in 1911 nearly rs par
cent. OF the mines were producers of
more than 100000 tons each and that
all but per cent. Of the total produc-
ton was from this gdoup OF mines.
According to the geological survey
the anthracite mines exclusively in the
first class-those producing over 20o,-
600 tons each-yielded sT2 per cent
OF the total output. and the 16S mines
included in this class had an average
production of 444. .697 tons each. In
1910 there were 157 anthracite mines
in the s00,000-ton class and their av-
erage production was 419.035 tons
each; in 1909 ITO mines had an aver
age production Of 3S6,6Ss tons each.

Senator Brady is fortunate in having
reached Washington in time to hear the
debates on the Connecticut River Dam
bill which involves the federal control
of dam sites in navigable rivers. This
is one of the most important questions
that has been up for consideration for a.
great many years and there is a raid OF.
the best talent on either side Of the
controversy. Senator Borah made an ex-
haustive speech in opposition to the
bill contending that the National Gov
ernment has no right in a stream ex-
eept to protect navigation. BY reason
of Senator Bradys long experience in
irrigation and water right problems, he
is able 10 give practical application Of
the present laws with reference to
these matters. Many of the Eastern
Senators have conferred with him in
regard to important questions arising
from this discussion.
Probably no man who has had such a
short career inthe United States Senate
has made a more favorable impression
and won wider circle of friends than
did Senator Perky who has Just returned
to Idaho It is the general understanding
here that the incoming administration
will depend on him for advice regarding
the distribution of patronage in Idaho.
The senator is on particularly friend
ly terms with those senators who are re
cognized as being close friends OF. Pres
ident- elect Wilson.
Senator Perky had the good fortune to
spend several hours with the incoming
President at his home at Trenton. N. J.
