Al DELIVERY
THE IDAHO STATE
PENITENTIARY

In an attempted escape from the
state penitentiary just a few moments
alter noon Friday three prisoners were
shot by guards, the wounds inflicted
upon one OF them being regarded as
fatal while the other two men will
doubtless recover
Y. y. Bereup, committed from Ban
mock county on October IL, 1913, to
serve life sentence for murder in
the hrst degree for the killing of a de-
putty sheriff who sought to arrest him
Tor Dootlegging, was shot in the spine
and will die.
7. A. Alters, committed from Sho-
shone county for forgery to serve an
lnderminate sentence of from l to Ia
years, was shot in the left arm, the
arm being badly shattered SO that ann
putation may be necessary, but he will
recover. He was received at the
prison March 4, 1911.
Lyman Jones, committed from Ere
mont county for murder in the second
degree and sentenced to serve from
III to ~ years, and received at the
prison on November 10, 1912. was
shot IN the left leg. His wound was
slight.
The break for liberty was made
Just alter IL o'clock while the guards
were at lunch. No. guard ON the
prison wall, while some of the Ruards
are at their noon meal, leaves his sta
ton and moves to No. /, leaving No.
z vacant for about Is minutes. The
three prisoners seized this oppor-
tunity to grab bench which was in
the yard where it had been in use.
This they appended against the wall
and placed on top of that a barrel
which enabled them to make the top
OF the wall They were seen by the
guards just as they reached the wall,
and before they had proceeded many
feet from the outside after shdiaR
down, the three men were brought 70
the ground by shots from the guards.
The men were quickly taken back
to the prison and physicians were
summoned. 1t was soon found that
Bereup's injuries would prove fatal
and his death is momentarily ex-
pected.
Bereup shot and killed Deputy
Sheriff McFadden at Grace in Ban
mock county when the deputy sheriff
sought to arrest him on a charge OF
bootlegging which had been carried
on among men engaged in working
an electric power plant. The deputy
was seated in buggy when Bereup
suddenly pulled a revolver shooting
the deputy sheriff dead. Bereup then
made his escape, being aided, It was
believed by friends, He first went In
to Wyoming and then doubled back
to Cobre, Nevada, from which place
he wrote to the Largilliere bank ct
Soda Springs for funds deposited
there by him. He asked that the
money be sent to him at Cobre on a
certain date. Instead of the money
being sent Idaho officers were ON
hand and nabbed him as he called for
his mail.
He was young man, not more than
u years old when he was committed,
but the officers have ascertained that
he has long series of crimes charged
against him.

NOTES OF INTEREST
ON MEXICAN PEOPLE

To most people Mexico simply
means a hot country filled with a
shiftless people. Until recently it
was hard to realize that Mexicans
had ambition to them. The better
class of MexicanS are all good look
ing, some of the younger girls are as
beautiful as any of our own beautiful
American girls and equally as well
educated. There is just as much re-
6nement and education among the
better class as is to be found in any
nation. But the poorer class or the
poems" are far more illiterate and
filthy in their habits than in other
nations. They are simply too lazy to
be clean and very few have ever had
the chance to obtain an education.
Mexico has "a population of about
sixteen millions of people, the state of
Chihuahua has less than $4,000, Son
ora has about 100000 and Sinola has
10000. Most of these are rebels.
The country varies in altitude from
sea level to 1900. At sea level the
heat 10 intense. From March until
October every day the heat seems to
get worse until it is almost unbear-
able. The winters are fine in the low
er attitudes while Mexico City is said
to have the finest of climates the year
around.
Many stories are told of the blue
jackets now in Vera Cruz. A few OF
them have wanted to buy land there
and asked the way to get it. Most OF
the sailors sent their addresses home
as John Doe, Vera Cruz, Mexico, U.
5. A. just as soon as the stars and
stripes were hoisted and saluted they
were sure It was Uncle Sans land.
Vera Cruz soon commenced to cater
to the Americans. So many were for
ced to seek refuge there after fleeing
in hurry. and had not extra clothing
with them that the tailors and dry
goods stores had a big increase in
business, more souviner post cards
have been sold in past two months
than for a year before.
Most Mexicans are fond of music
but only care for the slow sleepy kind
or classical music. Our popular rag
time jars on their nerves. Most every
hour of the day there is a band con-
cert in some part of Vera Cruz. The
burro peddleTs are doing 4 thriving
business there now, these peddlers
simply ride astride a burro and hang
their produce head down. Fruit, fresh
vegetables, meats, etc, all are peddled
through the residence section in the
same manner. But it does not look
very inviting to the majority of the
Americans.
Even the picture shows are adver-

Stevens Announce candidaev.

Judge James M. Stevens of Black
foot announces that he is a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
governor. A few weeks ago Judge
Stevens stated that after sizing up
ton with friends that he had such an
announcement in view. He has now
given voice to his ambition. Judge
Stevens believes in rigid economy in
the administration of state affairs; in
the early disposal of state land and
timber holdings that the interest
bearing funds of the state may be
augmented and the amount of money
raised by direct taxation reduced; and
IN reform of the court procedure of
the state. The first two, economy and
the sale Of timber and land, have been
discussed in these columns before
and are common to all the candidates.
The reform of our court procedure,
while spoken of from time to time,
has not been generally discussed. The
proposals of Judge Stevens along this
line bay be instructive and interest
ing. He has served on the bench for
twelve years and should have learned
a number of things of use and value
In his announcement as candidate
he says:
There has been much said, and
that justly, about the laws delays and
the unnecessary expense of the con-
duct OF the courts, and / suggest the
following for your considerations: 1t
costs approximately 500 a day to
conduct the district court with jury
and a large percentage of the business
is appeals from the justice court, in
Volving small amounts. These appeals
often find their way to the supreme
court, and in the end a $50 horse and
two stubborn ligitants cost the tax
payers several hundred dollars. |
would recommend that in all cases
less than 500 that the case tried by
jury or jury waived, that the judg-
ment of the probate or justice court
be final; where the amount involved
is less than $500 in civil matters, and
IN all misdemeanors tried before a
lnry or a jury waived in the district
court, that its judgment be final un-
less some unusual conditions pre-
Sents itself, This would so far re-
Sduce ligitation that the courts would
be able to keep up their work with
out any difficulty whatever,

Ollie IS. PRESIDENT
BANKERS ASSOCIATION

Group No. | of the Idaho Bankers
association held its annual meeting
at Boise Wednesday. Mr.. L. S. Dill
lie, cashier of the Western National
bank OF Caldwell, was elected presi-
dent OF the association. The other Of
tcers elected for the ensuing two
years are: c. A. Robinson of Boise,
secretary-treasurer; J. H. Wolfe OF
Nyssa, J. 0. Scritchheld of Fruitland d,
and f. NJ. iced of Kuna, members of
the executive committee.
The principal subject of discussion
at this meeting of the association was
the new currency and banking law.
1t was brought out that bank discount
instead of streight interest must pre-
vail throughout the west when the
regional banking law is in full opera
ton. This means radical change in
our banking methods. In the east the
bank discount system has always pre-
vailed. That is, the borrower pay:
the interest on his loan before he gets
his money. In the west, however
money has been borrowed from banks
on an ordinary interest basis, the in.
terest being paid when due.
The question was brought up at the
bankers meeting when the assembly
was discussing the question of com.
that the only commercial paper the
regional banks will accept it that on
which the interest is paid in advance
Other local questions were discus.
sed and the bankers devoted consider.
able time to an excange of views on
the new currency law. After the meet.
ing buffet supper was served to the
bankers by the Commercial club.

WEEKLY REVIEW STATE
NEWS WITH OUR
COMMENT

Subordinates are handy things to
have. They automatically act as a
shock absorber. Anything that hap
pens that provokes criticism is i'm
mediately shouldered upon the broad
hack of the subordinate. He can
stand it. In fact that is the purpose
in fact of having subordinates. These
reflections are brought to mind by
the fact that General Patch states
that the May bulletin of the Idaho
National Guard was prepared in a
large measure by a subordinate in
the Office and to him is generously as
signed the responsibility. Indeed,
General Patch informs the Governor,
that criticism in question did not orr
ginate in his Office but were copied
from editorials which appeared in the
Army and Navy Journal. This again
removes the responsibility another
step.
Governor Haines expresses him
self to General Patch as highly pleas
ed with the fact that the Idaho Of
hcials were in on wise responsible.
The Governor says:
81 am glad to be assured also that
the unfortunate expressions in the
bulletin do not express the views en-
tertained by yourself or by the Of
fcers of the national guard as a whole
and that these expressions did not
originate with any one connected with
our guard, but were copied largely
from an editorial appearing in the
Army and Navy Journal, and in part
from other sources.
Il am greatly relieved to know the
facts in this case. Our national guard
in order to be worthy of its name
must be absolutely loyal, not only to
the chief executive of this state, but
also to the chief executive of the ma
ton, and have never heretofore had
the slightest occasion to doubt that
this is the condition which actually
obtains.
THE bulletin in question is suppos-
ed to contain military and social news
pertaining to the guard of this and
other states. 1t is in no sense a news
paper, and those who prepare the
same for publication must not feel at
liberty to comment therein upon the
actions of their official superiors,
either state or federal.
Thus closes the chapter of the his
tory of the National Guard of Idaho
which pertains to criticisms of the
Mexican policy of President Wood
row Wilson.

The elevation of Mrs. Victoria Clay
Haley to the head of the o. e. S..
forces in Missouri is a well deserved
compliment and honor to a woman
particularly adapted to leadership.
The Eastern Star ladies who chose
her unanimously doubtless recognized
this and will make this a big year
for the order.
In George w. X. Love as Grand
Patron, she will find a strong ally
and supporter. Brother Love is
young, capable and energetic. He is
full of Masonic zeal and as a bust
ness man he has few superiors. Mrs.
Frances L. Boxley retired from the
office Of Grand Matron and was
chosen to manage the beneficiary
department ON account of the high es-
TEEN which the order has for her wo-
manly integrity and her gentle, digni
fled demeanor. This tria with Mrs
Lottie Gamble as Grand Secretary
and Mrs. Alma Clark as Grand Treas
urer, looks good for a new and pros
porous era in this popular Masonic
auxiliary.
