FIGHT MAY HAVE
A FATAL ENDING
Messenger Boys Quarrel Is
Likely to Result Fatally
Youth Under Arrest.

Lee Widdle, a messenger boy, is ly-
ing in n precarious condition at st. AL
phonsus hospital with a badly frac-
tured skull and but slight chance for
recovery, while Albert Perkins, another
messenger boy, is in the county Jail
held under a charge of assault with
intent to commit murder, as the result
of a fight between the two last even
ing at the office of the Royal Messen-
ger service.
Perkins, who was no match against
Widdle, seized a foot bicycle pump fully
! two and one-half feet in length, with
heavy iron plate on the bottom. and
struck Widdle over the head. The
blow felled him and he lay as dead on
the floor. DIR. Titus was summoned
and hurried the man to the hospital
where an operation was performed
three pieces of bone being removed
from the fractured skull through which
the brain was protruding.
According to the story told by Per
Sins, Widdle tried to pick a quarrel
with him on the street, but he went off
and left him after a few words. Later
he declares, Widdle came to the mes
senger service office and again re-
newed the trouble, whereupon he told
him to stand off and let him alone or
he would hit him with the bicycle
pump, which he claims he did in self
defense Perkins was arrested short
ly after the affair upon complaint Of
r. l. Widdle. a brother of the injured
man, who charges assault with intent
to commit murder. The complaint was
sworn out before Judge Adams and
the preliminary examination Is pending
the outcome of Widdles injury. Per-
kins is being held in the county jail
under a $500 bond.
A report from the hospital this aft
ernoon was to the effect that Widdle
was getting along quite well for such
dangerous wound, but it was impos-
/ sible to say at the time whether or not
he stood any chance of recovery.

The Pinney.

"Neptune's Daughter" Is something
new in photoplays, and new conner
that is welcome. What the New York
Hippodrome Is to the patron of the
speaking stage, this class of photoplay
is to the motion picture; and to "Nep
tunes Daughter" must be given credit
for bringing the type from the expert
mental period to that or achievement.
This remarkable protoplay comes to
the Pinney theater tomorrow for three
nights with matinee Friday and Sat
urday.
This picture not alone displays Miss
Kellermann in a new role, that of water
queen, but discloses her wonderful
charm as an exponent OF a modern
Venus, together with her ability as an
actress of distinction.

In order to arrive at an estimate
of the cost of completing the Twin
Falls North Side irrigation project and
determine the amount of the bond the
state will require the bondholders in
charge of the Twin Falls North Side
company's affairs to be deposited to
assure completion of the project, the
land board at a session held this morn
ing directed State Engineer F. P. King,
accompanied by his assistants, to make
an immediate engineering investiga-
ton of the project. He will leave i'm

his report will depend the final set

The bondholders raised over $780,
600 to complete the Jackson lake res
ervoir and work on the project, but
under the estimates the greater por-
ton Of this amount will go into the
jackson lake work The bondholders
are prepared to spend the necessary
funds to complete both the reservoir
and the work on the project proper.
1t is now believed to be certain that
the company will accept the amend

new contract to be entered into be-
tween the settlers and the company
which place the burden of expense on
the company. The matter of the con-
tract will then be disposed Of. So far
as can be learned the company will
not permit the amendments to the
contract to stand in the way Of block

ect to completion. The new contracts
will then be put up to the settlers for
their signatures.

EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS

London, May 30 The weather is
improving, the times are dull and the
militants have therefore decided to
renew their activities. The passage
of the Welsk discstablishment bill
seems to have aroused the suffra-
gettes anew, though no one seems
able to competently explain just why
this is so. More and more the wom-
en- vote seekers are forcing their at
tcntions upon the royal family. One
alarming rumor that the government
has been busy trying to discredlt has
it that Princess Mary has been won
over to the cause, The suffragettes
are making the most Of II. but it is
reported that the young princess
who has inherited something of her
mothers independence, has received
some severe lectures from the king
and queen for her tolerance of Mill
tant principles.

MOI IN FAVOR
Of REPEAL Of
CANAL TOLLS
SENATOR RANSDELL GIVES HIS
REASONS
Believes This Country Should Not
Give Up Its Sovereign Rights to
Foreign Powers

dSHlHSlOH, May EJ-( special -
Not since the debate on the bill re-
pealing the silver purchasing clause
lof the Sherman act has there been
anywhere near the interest or the
comprehensive grasp of the subject
displayed as there has been in the
debate on the repeal Of the free tolls
provision of the Panama act now
nearing final vote. A decided con-
/ trlbution to the discussion of the
subject was made by Senator Joseph
E. Ransdell of Louisiana, who an
nounced that he would vote against
repeal because he believed "the
measure to be unpatriotc and hurt
ful to the country, particularly to
| the South. IL believe" he said
"the law of 1912 should stand. 1t
is right; it is wise; ii is honorable.
can never consent to repeal, for I
consider it a REIMBURSEMENT of one
of our sovereign prerogatives at the
, behest of a foreign power and that
mo obligation, in law or morals, re-
,quires me to yield"
He observed that his study of the
liay-Pauncefote treaty had brought
the conclusion that England's con-
tcntion is in dcrogation of the SOY
Icreisnty of the nation, and that the
term 'all nations as used in the
treaty, does not include the United
States In support of this contention
he quoted from a score of men who
were members of the Senate when
the treaty was ratified showing that
their understanding was the same as
his.
He cmphatically denied that a
treaty could be made which would
take away from Congress the right,
given it under the constitution, to
legislatc regarding coastwise com
merce. He contended that there was
not single word in the constitution
which gives the president any power
whatsoever to effect, control or reg
ulate commerce between the various
States Of the Union, either by treaty
or otherwise, that right being grant
Cd to Congress by section of article
II of the constitution In this con
noction he paid a splendid tribute to
the House of Representatives, say
ing: '"The Panama canal was not
built by treaty but by an act of Con-
gress The statute authorizing it
originated in the House of Repre-
scntatives, which has annually, for
ten years, originated the vast appro-
priations necessary to carry on the
giant work The House of Repre-
may be justly proud of its
participation in all canal legislation
and be jealous of its prerogatives.
And am surprised that we have
had so little protest against this at
tempt on the part Of the executive
and the Senate to deprive the House
of one of it's most cherished and
most important powers, the right to
participate, as it has done since the
formation of the government, in all
relating to our domestic
commerce "
