The problem has recently become
graver in view of the announced inten'

German farmers would have to look
elsewhere for no less than 100000 la

life in Park City mine explosion last
Thanksgiving day, told yesterday of his
romance with Mrs. Emma Schultz, a

lasted scarcely more than three months
and during 4 part Of that TINE Miller
was not expected to live.
Mrs. Schultz, formerly OF Denver,
reached the Miners hospital at Park
City about two weeks after Miller had
been taken there, following his acci-
dent in the mine. She was immediate.

strong attachment was formed between
the couple and they became lnsepara.
BILE, although at no time IN the early
stages of Miller confinement in the
hospital was hope held out for his ulti-
mate recovery. Besides rendering him
totally blind, the explosion blew his
right hand completely off.

Special TO The Tribune.

Special TO The Tribune.
BOISE. Idaho March 26,-Mystery
that has baffled the local police, inspec-
tors for the postoftice department and
private detectives surrounds the attack
just made on Mrs. Robert Mckinley.
wife OF prominent business and mining
man Of this city, in an attempt to take
her life. which was. however. unsuccess
full. The mystery is not so much the at
tack as 1t is the fact that for almost a
year she. as well as DR.. j. r, Num-
bers. her physician. and a number of In
innate friends. have been the recipients
OF many anonymous letters from, 1t is
believed. the same person who made the
personal attack on Mrs. Mckinley.
Although this attack was made last
Monday night. the facts with relation 10
1t have just been made public,
Mrs. Mckinley resides at Twelfth and
Franklin streets. She was summoned to
her front door on that night by the
doorhell ringing Opening the door she
was knocked to the floor by rock Strik-
ing her In the face, cutting and brulsing
her. AS she lay half unconscious on the
floor her assailant threw bottle OF car
bolic acid at her head but fortunately
II did not strike true and she was saved
from being horribly burned Mrs. Nc
Kinlcy's sister. who was upstairs at the
time, rushed down on hearing her sister
fall, and her appearance frightened the
unknown fiend. Although the ground
was closely searched no sign OF the as
sailant OF Mrs. Mckinley could be found,
1t is believed by the police that the
mysterious party who attacked Mrs, Nc
kinley is the same person who has been
and still is writing the anonymous let
ters. The letters first started to make
their appearance soon after Mrs. Nc
Kinley was operated on. Her surgeon
was DR.. Numbers.
The author Of the letters first wrote
to DR., Numbers attacking Mrs. Mckin-
ley. This continued for some time. other
letters being written 10 members or the
church of which she was a member,
Later the author of the letter attacked
the character and professional reputa-
ton of Dr. Numbers and sinister warn
ings were given In them to him TO leave
Boise Since then the letters have been
received NOT only by Mrs Mckinley and
Dr. Numbers. but by many of the friends
of both.
The attack on tho person OF Mrs. Nc
Klnley this week has caused great deal
OF excitement among those familiar with
the circumstances. and n reign OF terror
exists among them. Handwriting experts
have examined the letters. OF which there
are now hundreds but are unable to find
a clew in them. Postoffce and postal
experts hnvc endea vored to solve the
mystery but without success. The local
police and private detectives can unearth
nothing.

LONDON March 26.-That the gov

extreme difficulty is proved by the fact
that Premier Asquith was not in a DO.
sition tonight to make his promised
statement in parliament and it was con-
sequently postponed until tomorrow.
The air is full of rumors, among the
most credible being the report that
Colonel Seely is, after all, to quit the
war office by an exchange of portfolios
with Lewis Harcourt, secretary for the
colonies.
The only new facts in the situation
today were to be found in the resigua-
tion of Field Marshal Sir John French,
chief of the imperial general staff, and
Sir John Spencer Ewart, adjutant gen
cral, from the army council. The ru-
NOR persists that other members of the
army council have resigned,

Negotiations and conferences be,

intimates that as result of the inter

has been reached by the Unionists and
the home rule bill and the Welsh dis
establishment bill shall be passed, with
the understanding that general elec-

''The only thing not absolutely set

whether the plural voting bill should be
passed. The differences in regard to
this latter bill are likely to be sur

Basis of Suit.

Attorney General McReynolds based
the suit on the charge that the defendants
had entered into a combination to mo-
nopolize the. means Of telephone commu-
nication in and between the states of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho The at
iorney general showed that on the
strength of this combination the compan-
les obtained control. of the Northwestern
Telephone company, owning competing
long distance lines from Port Angeles.
Wash, TO Corvallis. Ore. Control was
also acquired Of the Interstate Telephone
company owning competing long distance
lines from Spokane, Wash. into northern
Idaho, and the Home Telephone company
Of Spokane which owned a competing
exchange at that point. The attorney
general showed that the combination pur-
chased competing exchanges In Seattle,
Tacoma and Belingham.
