State Treasurer Allen Arrested
for En1bezzlen1ent of Public Funds

Boise, Oct. 81. State Treasur-
er Allen is formally charged
with embezzlement by Governor
Haines. The governor arrived
in the city tonight shortly after
II o'clock from the southeast.
He was met by Axel Ramstedt
who has been in charge of the
treasurer's office, and who in
formed him that the audit of the
treasurer's accounts had devel-
oped far enough during the day
to warrant a charge that the
treasurer is short in his accounts.
Prosecuting Attorney Givens
was at once called in and asked
to prepare a complaint which the
governor signed Immediately.
The specific charge is the en-
bezzlement of $40, ,354.68 but it
is possible the complete audit,
which will require some time yet,
may disclose larger amount.
1t is understood also that pro-
ceedings will be commenced
against Fred C. Coleman, a for
mer deputy in the treasurer's
Office, who is now said to be in
Seattle.
The warrant was served on
Mr.. Allen tonight, He has been
constantly under surveillance
since last Monday.

.. An anti-division meeting was
held in Grangeville Thursday
evening at which the attendance
was small, but eminently repre-
sentative. Speakers of promi-
nence addressed those assembled,
the general trend of whose re-
marks is embraced in an appeal
to the voters of Idaho county,
signed by prominent Grangeville
le ,ple of all parties as follows:
'It is important to remember that
the real vital issue at the coming cleo
ton in Idaho county, is whether the
county shall be divided.
'Tt is proposed to divide the county
and make three counties out of the
present Idaho county.
''Under such plan, old Idaho county
will have a small portion of Camas
prairie and an immense portion of the
forest reserve and unsettled mountain
districts, thereby reducing it to such an
extent that it will be seriously impaire
as an effective county organization.
'This is proposed and energetically
advocated by some portions of the ter
ritory to be included in the proposed
new counties, regardless of it's unfair
ness, regardless of the fact that it is
not based on sound economic principles;
regardless of Typographical conditions,
and regardless of the fact that it will
not promote the betterment of any sec
ton, but will be detrimental to all sec
tions, except possibly the immediate
localities where it is proposed to estab-
lish county seats"
The appeal then goes on to ad-
vocate the defeat of Parker, York
and Adair and states that it is
mandatory" that you do this in
"come on, boys, the big boss
has the stick" tone of voice.
The conditions stated in the
appeal are largely true. 1t fails
to add. however, that in addition
to a lit lie dab of Camas prairie
and a big COB of forest reserve
Idaho county will still have be-

A RANK FALSEHOOD.

The story being circulated by
the anti-divisionists to the effect
that the Joseph and Doumecq Sec
tions will be left out of the pro-
posed Randall county is a fabrica-
ton of the rankest kind, and is
being used simply to secure votes.
Randall county cannot get suffici-
ent mileage for a county without
this territory and has always in
cluded it in the new county. Pay
no attention to such falsehoods.

Praises John ]. Staley

Every voter is interested in
good schools and a need for eff
cient and we'll prepared men to
direct the administration of our
schools is sometimes felt. The
democrats this year have a candi-
date for county superintendent,
who possesses every qualification
which the position demands.
Grangeville, whose school has
found in Professor John J. Staley
an exceptionally able man, needs
no introduction nor recommended
tions for his record here has es-
tablished his great teaching abil-
ity.
The following letter received
from the Board of Education of
Ashland, Wisconsin, where Mr..
Staley taught before coming to
Idaho, gives a splendid testimo-
nial of his character and worth
as teacher and a man, and will
please his admirers here and in
terest the men and women who
will cast a vote this fall to elect
L county superintendent. The let
rer is on file in this office and ia
ls follows:
Ashland, Wisconsin,
August 16, 1914.
Dear Sir:
Your letter regarding Mr..
Staley has been forwarded to me
while on my vacation but l has
ten to reply that l may be of as
sistance.
Il believe the people of Idaho
county have a rare opportunity
presented to them in the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Staley as county
superintendent. His experience
qualities him for this position in
every respect. He has been a
teacher in the grades of both
rural and city schools and will
give the county the benefits of
his practical experience upon the
firing line. He has served as a
principal of both common schools
and high schools and has thus a
first hand contact with the prob
lens of both, and the best meth
Cd for their solution. Mr.. Staley
has had practical business ex-
perience which is granted to few
educators. Finally, he has re-
ceived his education in one of the
strongest preparatory schools of
Wisconsin, is graduate of one
of the most thorough of the east
ern colleges and has pursued ad-
vanced special work in the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
l have been personally ac-
quainted with Mr.. Staley for a
number of years. | have seen
him in the class room and
have witnessed his success as an
administrator. In both he has
been most successful. Few teach
ers equal him in skill. He COM
bines the qualities of a natural
teacher. AS principal he pos
sesses the confidence and respect
of his teachers. He is a natural
leader and his wide experience
makes possible, most valuable
aid to the struggling teacher.
Mr.. Staley is a man of the
highest ideals, commanding per-
sonality and a striking personal
appearance. From my personal
acquaintance with Mr.. Staley I
feel that | can recommend him as
a teacher of unusual success, q
skillful administrator of both city
and country schools, a man Of
practical business experience,
and above all as man with the
highest ideals and personal stand
ards in whom may be entrusted
a task or responsibility with the
absolute assurance that he will
perform his duties faithfully and
well and conscientiously.
Very truly yours,
V. 7. Thayer, Superintendent. "

day that this feature had given some con-

said Mr.. Noble. and met and talked
with prominent bankers in those cities,
fully advising myself as to the field for
American activity in foreign countries.
and l came into very close contact with
t. matter in all its phases, so that the
Hartman National Bank is prepared TO
avail itself of such legitimate business as
may arise within a sound and conserva-
tive banking field.
Americans keep so fully in touch with
foreign developments in the financial and

litical world Of Europe. that there will
be very little inertia 10 overcome at sucn
time as the United States shall be fully
prepared TO establish American branch
