Not Docked for Absence,

sentative Kahn of California. with re-
markable gravity,

ence to the prolonged absence of Rep
resentative Henry of Texas:
Il was wondering whether he was
unpatriotic when he was In Texas and
only patriotic when he was In the
House. Then there Ia another distin-
guished gentleman. Mr.. Palmer of
Pennsylvania. who seems to be favored
by the President, who was instrument

mittee the fact that the President had
democratic platform-the one in rela-
tion to only one term for President
That gentleman sometimes appears on
the floor of this House.
Up rose Representative J. Hampton
Moore:
Not in the Handbook.
Does the gentleman know that the
Baltimore platform has not been incor-
porated in the democratic handbook
which is now being circulated for demo-
cratic orators?"
No. That is like the section with
reference to the high cost of living.
Gone out entirely. There were fifteen
pages in the democratic text book two
years ago about the high cost of living.

Representative Moore ventured the re-
mark that the cost Of living would be
blamed by democratic orators on the
European war. Later Mr.. Moore offered
an amendment to compel Filipino legis-
latoFs to attend strictly to the business
of the legislature, and told the House
that in framing a self-government for
the islands the Congress Of the United
states should not allow those people to
fall into pitfalls encountered In this
country.

We should say to the Filipino" ex-

public office. you ought to perform the
duties of that Office, and when you ac-

Congress. or if you become a cabinet

rather than go out upon the stump de-
l1verlng political lectures or going out
into some Philippine chautauaua for

In morals but under the oath of office

CROOK ALMOST ESCAPES PRISON TERM BY
SUBSTITUTING INNOCENT SAILOR

chapter was added to the annals of
criminology recently when Alfred Jo-
hansen, brought here from China to
serve three years in San Quentin for
forgery committed in Shanghai, con-
WINGED prison authorities and federal
officials alike that he was the victim
of one. of the boldest substitution
cases in the worlds history.
Involved in the mystery which is
engTossing the attention of the po-
lice of three countries are the United
States courts at Shanghai, the U. S.
consul at the same place, the army
transport service, the local federal
courts and the Office of the U. S.
attorney general at Washington, D. C.
Johansen, who was received by the
local authorities under the name of
''P. A. Crimes" declared that he was ,
not Grimes at all, and had never |
heard of Grimes. He said he was a |
sailor on Norwegian tramp steamer,
and that while ashore at Nagasaki, |
Japan, was kidnapped and placed on
board the U. S. transport Sheridan, |
on which he arrived here to serve |
Grimes sentence.
The real Peter Grimes, whose VIC
tim the sailor was, has since been
arrested at Nagasaki and will be re-
turned here to serve his sentence.
Grimes, who by his daring and in
genuity conceived and almost con-
sunmated the kidnapping plot, is the
hayward son of a wealthy man of
Pittsburgh, Pa. He recently served a
year in San Quentin, Cal, for forgery
under the name of Jas. H. Rodgers.
Last August he went to Shanghai and
there was arrested after having pass
ed bad checks. He was sentenced to
three years in the California peniten-
tiary.

FAMOUS GAME At
NANPA RECALLED
In 1907 Walter johnson
Was Startling Natives
4s. in This Section.

Before Walter johnson, the worlds
premier pitcher, broke into major
league ball, he was some HEAVIER in the
wilds of Idaho as shown by the records
of seven years ago the period it took
Walter to rise to his present command
ing position in the baseball world. The
baseball scribe on the Nampa Leader
Herald dug up the following dope on
Johnson that fans will read with inter-
est:
Revival of interest in baseball in
Nampa has caused many discussions
recently about the time that the game
really was put on the map here. That
was the time when Walter johnson
was brought up here from Weiser to
defeat the Mountainhome aggregation
after the latter team had won game
from the Nampa bunch.
That was in 1907 before johnson
got in big league company. There was
an organization throughout this state
which included Nampa, Caldwell,
Boise, Mountainhome, Weiser. Pay
cite, Huntington and Emmett Sun
day, June ., 1907. Mountainhome,
pitching Grayson with White behind
the bat. defeated Nampa to the tune of
7 to 6. Bliss and Hanson constituted
the Nampa battery. A lot of discus
sion came up following that game as
to the merits of the different teams
and as result a purse of $500 was
hung up for the game to be played
here Monday, June 3. This purse was
hiked to $1,000 before the game started.
According to the Nampa Evening
Leader of June g. Bliss, the Nampa
pitcher had been hurt in the Sunday
game so Walter Johnson was brought
up from Weiser. Hansen caught him.
Christensen, in the box for Mountain
home, was knocked out in the fifth in
ming and Grayson went in. White was
catching Betting continued heavy
throughout the game. Sebree was UNI
pire.
According to the paper of that date
Johnson walked one man and famed
twelve. There is a discrepancy In the
hit business. In the story is found the
following Hits We're allowed the
visitors (by Johnson but they came in
punches of one But the box score
shows that he pitched a no-hit game
1t was a shut-out game. Nampa win
ming to 0.
The paper continues: ut was a
great game and one which the fans
will long remember Apart from the
800 purse a great deal of money was
won by Nampa as Mountainhome did
not quit backing their team until the
last inning
The attendance was 1900 Tho Boise
and Caldwell teams came here to sec
the contest
Perhaps this hunt through the old
files will settle a few wagers which
! have been made recently about how
/ that game was played.

ADJUSTMENTS

The Pinney.

The Della Pringle company now
playing at the Pinney, opened the sec
ond wee kof their engagement last
night with The Honest Truth" an
excellent comedy which seems to have
been made exclusively for laughing
purposes. The story told is of a wife
who, by her disregard for the truth
and dislike Of children. has caused her
husband to leave her. In order to
bring him back she borrows a child,
intending to pass it off as her own.
The series of complications in which
she involves her friends who help her
carry out the plan furnish continuous
merriment Miss Pringle as the wife
handles her part exceedingly well, as
do all the other members of the COM
pany. Mr.. Van Auker has a very diff
ficult role, that of a husband of a
friend of the wire who is made the
goat" of the plot. The vaudeville
numbers between acts are excellent
and rounded out very pleasing even
ing. Beginning next week the COM
pany will produce two plays a week.
The Lion and the Mouse a strong
political drama, begins Monday and
The Lottery Man a comedy, opens
on Thursday.

REPORT ON LOST
RIVER PROJECT
Settlers Will Insist on Full
Amount of Water Speci-
fed in Contract.

In connection with the petition of
the settlers upon the Big Lost River
irrigation project presented to the
state land board asking that no change
be made in the terms of the contracts
now held by those settlers for the irri-
cation of the lands, it is an interesting
development that w. F. Rathbun Of
this city, Who was invited by the land
board to take this matter up with the
settlers. filed d report to that board as
long ago as July IFS, which report has
not been made public and upon which
no action, so far as known, has been
taken.
The land board few weeks ago
made a great flourish of its intention
20 settle all the difficulties upon the
Big Lost River project, but the petit
lions sent in by the settlers seem to
indicate that the settlement is not pro
crossing in the interests of the set
tiers, at least so they claim, while
the apparent suppression Of the report
made by Mr.. Rathbun is taken by
them as further cause for alarm
The report made by Mr. Rathbun is
as follows
Boise, Ida. July II, 1914.
To the Honora BILE State Board of Land
Commissioners:
On June 20 I was requested by you
TO get in communication with the ac-
tive settlers and entrymen owning
water rights on the Big Lost River
project with a view of getting an ex-
preston from them on certain con-
cessions asked by the Utah Construc
ton company for the completion of
the project, namely, the holding of the
irrigation company responsible for a
shortage of water In dry year; the
amount of water needed for the sue
cessful irrigation of the project.
on June p l sent out letters to
many active settlers and entrymen
asking for an expression on these
points mentioned, with their views and
suggestions. 1t is the opinion Of the
water users that the full amount Of
water specified n their contracts is
necessary for the successful irriga-
ton Of their lands Also if the reser-
voir is built substantial and large
enough to hold the required acre feet
of water to irrigate the lands sold and
of water available impounded, that
there would be no shortage OF water.
We would also ask the irrigation sea-
son to begin not later than April IS
and that water FOR stock should run
i'm the bitches as late in the season as
practicable. Also a reasonable time
TO be allowed the settlers before maxi
ing payments That the payments and
interest become due on Jan. so that
the settlers can have chance to mar
ket their crops.
The settlers will operate with the
land board and Utah Construction
company for the success of the project
in any wa. that is fair and just to all.
Respectfully yours
w. r. RATHBUN.

The Isis.

Jack London, when he wrote his
autobiography, John Barleycorn, =
telling his struggles to overcome the
control of liquor, put forth a story
which is bound to live on its own
merits. When, however, "Bosworth,
Inc" the we'll known producers of
movin gpictures, put the story on the
screen they further added to the per-
manency of the book and also produced
a picture that will not die out. This
photoplay is now being shown at the
Isis theater. Throughout all the six
reels there is a strong current of in
terest running, an interest which is
bound to hold all The story begins
when a little fellow drinks liquor
which is intended for his father who
is out working in the fields. That is
the beginning. The story then carries
him through the ups and downs Of life,
alcohol playing a large part in the
downs, until the final titanic struggle.
An excellent cast of players is used to
produce the film and much attention
has been paid to obtain realistic set
tings. The photography is all that
could be asked and helps to make the
feature an excellent one.

TALK IS REVIVED
Report That Idaho Field
Will Again Be Locked

That the Western Pacific must have

crate, that the best and greatest I'M
supplied section into which it can build
is the Idaho territory and that the
committee Of bankers appointed to de-
wise some plan of putting that road

east by a man high in financial cir
cles The report will again bring up
the matter Of the connecting link to
the coast for this great territory which
produces far more than one road can
handle.
But a few days ago the directors of
the Denver & Rio Grande paid the
semi-annual interest of two and one
half per cent on the first mortgage
bonds of the Western Pacific Railway
company, which it controls.
The earnings Of the Western Pacific
We're not sufficient to pay the interest
and being controlled by the d. & R. c..
the directors of that road paid the
amount and asked that a readiustment
Of the finances Of the Western Pacific
be made ana that a committee of
bankers be appointed to consider the
adoption Of plans for tightening the
burden of the line and adding to its
business if possible.
It is believed that some of the same
bankers. who visited Boise last win
ter in the interests Of a branch line
here were llaced on the committee
owing to their familiarity with the
road and it's finances and should such
be the case, it is believed that every
effort possible will be put forth to
build feeder for the Western Pacific

cured some other line.
