Boise Paper Comments on His
Presence While in That City.

President Brannon returned Satur-
day from several days visit at Boise
much pleased with the interest and en-
thusiasm displayed in that section OF
the state in the work of the University
of Idaho. He was rendered royal
reception upon his arrival in the cap
ital, an account of which is given in
the following article which appeared
in a recent issue of the Boise States
man:
Boise is now acquainted with DR.. M.
A. Brannon, president of the Univer-
sity of Idaho. 1t goes without saying
that after the introduction Boise has
a higher opinion of the doctor than
before, and it is to be hoped that Dr..
Brannon reciprocates the good feel
ing.
"In the process of introduction DR..
Brannon spoke at noon on Tuesday to
the business men of the city at the
Commercial club. In the afternoon
he spoke on culture to the women of
the city at the home of the Columbian
club, and in the evening he was
brought in touch with the college men
and the college women at banquet
at the Commercial club rooms.
"At these meetings DR.. Brannon met
many of the leaders of the communi
in business, in club ac
.ivity, and more particularly in the
ield of education. The impression made

Many Attend Luncheon.

"It was representative body of
Boise business men and professional
men who greeted Dr.. Brannon at the
MONDAY luncheon at the Commercial
club. Anxious to meet the new head
of the educational system of the state
and to assure him of their support
and hearty cooperation, these citi
zens dropped their affairs for a
couple of hours and gathered at the
club in numbers that must have been
heartening to the guest of honor. At
the head of the table sat Governor
Haines, and seated around were many
of the most influential men of the
community. And by their quick re-
sponse these men made it clear to tn
president of the university that they
were with him in every proper move
to build up the institution and the
state.

DR.. SissOn Presides.

after a delicious luncheon Presi-
dent Johnson of the club in fitting
words welcomed Dr. Brannon and
called upon DR.. Sisson to preside
Before calling on DR.. Brannon the
chairman called upon Dean Carlyle
just home from Washington, and that
gentleman responded with one of his
earnest, straight from the shoulder
talks.
DR.. Sisson in introducing the guest
of honor, told of the difficulty in find
ing the right kind of man for pres
ident of a university, and especial
ly for president of the University of
Idaho-the man with character,
knowledge and business ability along
many lines. He felt, he said, that the
board of education had been peculiarly
fortunate in securing DR.. Brannon.
DR.. BrannOn's Plain Talk.
"Dr. Brannon talked business. He
knew he was talking to business men
and for that reason wasted little time
in rhetorical fourishes. He won
dered if Boise was working toward
any we'll defined goal in her streets,
parks, Fairgrounds, architecture. He
paid a high compliment to Superin-
tendent Meek and to the work he has
done for the school system of this
city. He thought if the community
in other lines kept up with the
schools it would Ego some"
From this point DR.. Brannon devel-
oped strong argument in favor of
cooperation and reciprocity. He
pointed out the duty of business men
in helping each other in the city; the
value of cooperation with the rural
districts around with the state and
with the nation. The value of the
club in working against |
and in promoting coop |
,ration was emphasized.
Better organization and more COM !
,lete cooperation in the marketing /

marks from the speaker. He was lis
ened to with close attention. His

came known that officials OF the Depart.
ment Of Justice are scrutinizlng carefully
the record of the testimony.
1t Is understood that this scrutiny is
designed to ascertain II MIR Melien in
the course OF his confessions by which
he gains immunity from pending and
threatened prosecutions has strayed at oil
from the Statements made by him TO
agents OF the Department of Justice.
The Department has in Its files evidence
accumulated during the investigation of
the New Haven by Assistant Attorney
General Adkins and Special Assistant At
torney- General Thomas w. Gregory.
A person who followed closely the Gov
ernment's inquiry into the New Haven
indicated to-day that statements OF very
much the same character on the Billiard
and Grand Trunk deals as those made by
Mellen to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission were made TO the Governments
investigators by Mellen several months
ago.
The Governments investigators, II is
said. carried their investigation TO other
sources where facts relating to Meilens
statements were discoverable, with the
result that they were not altogether salts
fed with Mr.. Mellen's information. Now
they are tallying UP Mr.. Mellen's state
ments to see IL any discrepancies may
furnish ground for action.

TO INDICT FIVE MEN FOR
PANAMA CANAL FRAUD
Employees Of Carbon Steel Co.
Accused Of Furnishing In
feriOr Steel for Locks.

PrTrsBuRG. May 21.-The Federal Grand
Jury recommended this afternoon the In
dictment OF Ave employees OF the Carbon
Steel Company on charge OF conspiring
to defraud the United States In connection
Panama Canal.
Tho men named in the indictment are
Samuel Wetmore. formerly superintendent
OF the Carbon Steel Company: Dennis X
Bullens. metallurgist. and David J. Simp-
son, Henry Lutx and James H. Lacy. all
trusted employees and expert steel men.
Two others. W. r. Warren and Fred
Schoppe. also employees OF the Carbon
Steel Company. were named in the present
ment. which. however. recommended that
no indictment be found against them be-
cause OF the valuable testimony given by
them. The presentment reads as follows /:
THAT Samuel NJ. Wetmore, David
j. Simpson, Dennis X. Bulens. Henry
Lutz and James Il. Lacy did on Sep
TENDER H. 1911. unlswfully and fe-
loniously conspire. combine, confed-
crate and agree together with divers
other persons TO the Grand Jury I'M
known, knowingly, willingly and cor
ruptly. to defraud the United States OF
America"
Wetmore and Bullens, with Lacy, I.utz
and Simpson, are alleged to have conspired
to folst upon the Government an inferior
grade OF steel to be used In building
several of the locks used In the canal.
The steel is alleged to have been OF a
very inferior quality with tho excep-
ton of the ends OF the beams and plates.
which were tempered highly. SO that
when the Government inspectors Clipped
a piece Of metal Off the ends to have the
steel analysed they would secure only
the highest grade metal.
The steel furnished by tho Carbon
Steel Company Is alleged to be of such
a low quality as to make Its use in the
locks and gates unsafe. The gates and
locks which contain this low grade metal
are likely to collapse at any time, It is
alleged.
1t was learned here this afternoon
that d. +. Corbett. ex-secretary OF the
company. left here about January last.
He is said to be In New York.

An explosion OF gasolene in a stove OF
the galley Of the yacht Osprey H.. lying off
the Columbia Yacht Clubs house, caused
about $4,000 damage yesterday afternoon
and had all the spectacular accompani-
ment of a marine holocaust. Fire fighters

The Osprey H.. an eighty foot gasoene
yacht, belonging to c. Il. Runyon lies

ashore and Archie Wary. tho steward

OF black smoke. out of which Wary

Morses offer at the suggestion OF Presi-
panic. when Morse was sailing high.
1t was. however. in the matter of his
views on more personal subjects that
Mr.. Mellen's testimony to-day was
chiefly interesting. He had a bright
reply for almost every question.
He declared that tho policy Of the
New Haven In New England was one
OF beneficent monopoly; that It had met
failure at tho hands OF Providence
through tho death of J. =. Morgan.
Mr.. Mellen contended that had Mr..
Morgan lived the vast project would
have been a great success and the New
Haven railroad to-day would have been
paying dividends.
He expressed the opinion that the
country is headed toward Government
ownership of railroads and that In the
retrospect he was abe to see now that
he had been helping the movement in
that direction.
Mr.. Mellen told of his efforts to avoid
politicians in all Of the New England
States and in New York; how their APP
petite was whetted by every bit of help
extended by the railroads and how the
New Haven was concerned more over
preventing legislation than 1t was in
obtaining It.
Stockholders he described as sheep
who In prosperous times browsed. but
when trouble arose all ran for the same
hole In the fence. generally to their
own injury.
