FIRE: ALARM AND
BUDGET PACT
IS NEAR
Settlement for $4,000 for Sys-
tenn and Agreement to Pass
Appropriations Reached.

Settlement Of the 100000 contract
with the Okonite Company, of New
York, for Atlanta's new fire alarm
system for practically SS5,000 and a
general agreement among Council
men to pass the new budget as pre-
pared by the Finance Committee,
seemed imminent Friday, following
conferences of number of city Of
ficials.
The negotiations have been strictly
private, but it is learned on good au-
thority that a peaceful conclusion of
various controversies over financial
policies is near at hand.
Alderman John S. Gambler who at
tackled the $4,000 item in the bud
get, held aconference with Mayor
woodward at whose behest the money
was put in the sheet. He came out
of that conference smiling and Mayor
Woodward also seemed pleased.
Near Agreement on Company.
Subsequent conferences between
Mayor Woodward and Judge Spencer
Atkinson, attorney for the Okonite
Company, and Alderman Gambler,
Judge Atkinson and Mr.. Underhill
the sales representative of the Oko-
mite Company, seemed Friday to have
1t is reported that Judge Atkin-
son has advised his client to accept
$4,000 plus the attorneys fees and
that Mr.. Underhill is about to agree
entirely satisfactory to all city Of
ficials.
The settlement is understood to be
While Their has been general criti-
cism of the budget because it did
not provide sufficient money. the only
feature in it that has ben pointed out
as fallible was the $4,000 fire alarm
item 1t was conceded by most of
the members of Council that the FL
nance Committee had done about as
well as. could be expected with the
| remainder of the budget. ie
| Should the various contenders
agree on the fire alarm item the i'm
mediate passage of the budget as
published would be assured.
Would Be Victory for Mayor.
1t would be distinct victory for
Mayor Woodward and Chairman w.
G. Humphrey, of the Finance Com
mittee, who were its principal au-
thors. Alderman Gambler and the
others who threatened to caucus in
| opposition, would be satisfied on the
grounds that the trade would be a
splendid one for the city
The original fire alarm contract for
| $106, 900 provided that the city should
lease ii at $4,000 a year and that the
yearly $1,000 should apply on the pur-
chase price. When the Supreme
Court rendered its decision on the
crematory Mayor Woodward took the
position that 1t was equally applica-
BILE to the alarm contract.
The fire alarm system was COM
pletcd, practically, but the Mayor
took the position that since a cash
price was the only possible basis OF
settlement the city should not pay
more than S., 600 for it,
Friday it looked as though he would
win his contention. The principal
opposition to the $500 item was
based on the statement of represen-
tatives of the Okonite Company that
they would not consider an offer of
5000. Alderman Gambler and others
took the position that if 1t would not
be accepted, it would be foolish to
appropriate it when 1t was so badly
needed for other purposes

JAPAN CROWD|NC

Plan of Mikado to Use Mexican
Situation as Club in Alien
Land Dispute.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Stunned
5y the two announcements of Jana
nese poicv which followed each other
4 intervals of only "a hours, official
Washington to-day awaited with in
-ense interest the next move in the
diplomatic game between the Mikado
and this Government.
While President Wilson and Score
ary of State Bryan profess to believe
hat the announcements OF yesterday
aud the day before are mere state
ments of the trend of the Japanese
policy, diplomats in Washington make
no secret of the fact that they con-
slider the announcements to be direct
slaps at the United States, slaps which
the japanese intend to make the basis
of further and more hostile action
against this Government.
Plan to lnflamei Japanese.
Baron Makino's utterances concern
lng the California alien land law and
he Mexican situation, which severely
ensure the United States for lack of
definite action, lead members of the
diplomatic circles to the conclusion
hat the Japanese foreign office has
inaugurated q series of attacks on
the policies Of this Government which
are intended to inf1ame the japanese
people and to cause the INTO demand
some drastic action against the Unit
cd States.
Thus the Mikado's Government will
have a definite and specific cause for
demanding the retraction of the Cali
f0rnia Legislation and immediate in
ervention in Mexico, with the alter
native of an open contest for the su-
memacy Of the Pacific.
Secretary Bryan said to-day the
Japanese statement concerning Mexico
was a complete surprise to him. Yes
terday he said he had been informed
in advance of Baron Makinos speech
on the California alien land law mat
Ter, but President Wilson said he had
heard nothing of it until he read il
IN the papers. The Secretary would
make no comment to-day on the Jap
anese view of the Mexican situation.

COOLEST DAY IN
JUNE ON RECORD:
DAMAGE IS DONE
Tomatoes and Potatoes Are
Nipped by Frost in Boise
Valley Rising Tempera-
ture Is Promised.

Yesterday was the coolest June day
on record for Boise, with a mean tenn
perature of 43 degrees. 1t was colder
than any day in May and almost as
cold as the coolest day in April. There
were Ave days in January with mean
temperatures higher than yesterday.
A few flakes of hard snow fell in the
afternoon. the first snow ever recorded
in Boise in June.
Following the cold day the tempera-
ture began to fall rapidly about 500
o'clock and by $3.50 o'clock had fallen
we'll toward the freezing point In the
country districts. BY little after
midnight the temperature in the city,
near the ground, had fallen to freezing,
while on the bench II was about 80
degrees, and down in the valley prob
ably somewhat lower. Toward morn
Ing some clouds appeared and a south
east wind began to blow causing a
material rise in the temperature, but
considerable damage had already been
done to potato tops and tender vege-
tables in exposed places. where steps
had not been taken to protect them
The damage appears to have been
greatest on the river bottom. Fruit
probably suffered little. The barom-
eter has fallen rapidly over the north
west. giving promise Of rising tenn
perature. with unsettled weather and
showers.
Several Cinnamon, who have large
truck gardens close to the city, re-
ported that their tomatoes were all
killed. also their cucumbers and squash
and while their potatoes were some
what wilted they reported they would
live, but would be small,
Fruit was not injured, according to
fruit growers who made an examina-
ton of their orchards today and an
other anxious period to the growers
was passed.
