EX-WARDEN Is TO BE CALLED
BY THE DEFENSE
Ioiio& Mo,, NJ
Edmund M.


Joliet, ILL.,, Nov. 9. - Edmund M.
Allen, ex-warden of Joliet prison, and
John C. Smith, night turnkey at the
prison, two witnesses for the state in
the trial of Chicken" Joe Campbell,
will be called later as witnesses for
the defense. Atty Barnett, Camp
bells counsel, will do this because of
the difficulty he experienced in the
cross examination of Allen, due to
the states objections. Smiths tes-
timony supported much of Camp
bells story of his movements on the
night before the fire and on the
morning Mrs. Allen, wife of the war
den, was found dead in her rooms.
Harold Larkin, school chum of
Aliens son, also gave testimony to
support Campbell's statement that
he escorted Miss Katherine Allen to
the fifth floor on the morning of the
fire, which Miss Allen denied.
Mr.. Allen was the last witness
called yesterday and an objection
was made by the states attorney to
nearly every question put by the ne
gro's counsel. Among questions to
which objections we're made and
sustained were those relative to the
whereabouts of a man named Ira
verse, who was then prison statisti-
clan. He was known as the warden's
confidential clerk and possessed a
key which enabled him to gain access
to the warden's office without the
services of turnkey.

CATHOLICS PRAY FOR PEACE
Invoke Aid of God to Terminate Euro
pean Conflict

In all the Catholic churches of
the world with the exception Of
those in Europe a special prayer
for peace was said last Sunday in
obedience to the wishes of Pope
Benedict who deemed Passion Sun
day fitting day to supplicate for
the healing of the discords that
tear nation asunder.'
Following is the copy of the
prayer which was said:
"Dismayed by the horrors of a
war which is bringing ruin to peo-
pies and nations, we turn, O
Jesus, to Thy most loving heart as
our last hope. o God of Mercy,
with tears we invoke Thee to end
the fearful scourge; o King of
Peace, we humbly implore the
peace for which we long. From
Thy sacred heart Thou didst shed
forth over the world divine charity
so that discord might end and love
alone might reign among men.
During Thy life on earth Thy
heart beat with tender compassion
for the sorrows of men; in this
hour made terrible with burning
hate, with bloo1shed and with
slaughter, once more may Thy di-
vine heart be moved to pity.
Pity the countless mothers in
anguish for the fate of their sons;
pity the numberless families now
bereaved of their fathers; pity Eur
ope over which broods such havoc
and disaster. Do Thou inspire
rulers and peoples with counsels of
meekness; do Thou heal the dis
cords that tear nations asunder;
Thou who didst shed Thy precious
blood that they might live as broth
ers, bring together once more in
loving harmony. And as once be-
fore to the cry of the Apostle Pet
er: Save us, Lord, we perish,
Thou didst answer with words Of
mercy and didst still the raging
waves, so now deign to hear our
trustful prayer and give back to
the world peace and tranquility.
And do thou, o most holy Vir-
gin, as in times of sore distress, be
now our help, our protection and
our safeguard. Amen"

GOVERNOR USES
VETO POWER
Chief Executive of Idaho Dissapproves
of 60 Measures Passed by the
Thirteenth Legislature
LEAVES l67 new MEASURES
Last Legislature Passed a Total Of
23l Bills

Last Friday was the last day al
lotted Governor Alexander to place
his stamp of approval or disappro-
val upon the remainder of the 231
bills passed by the Thirteenth Ses-
sion of the Idaho State Legislature.
Only one measure, the Gem coun-
ty enabling act, was not acted up
on in one way or another by the
governor.
Of the 231 bills passed by the
Idaho legislature, 129 originated in
the House and 102 in the Senate.
OF this number the governor vetoed
in whole or in part So. This is
the largest number of bills ever
vetoed by a governor of Idaho.
Many of the bills vetoed by Gov
ernor Alexander were appropriation
bills and bills providing for bond
issues, and his action on these
measures has subjected him to Sc
we're censure from all parts of the
state, both by republicans and dem
ocrats.
There were total of 624 bill:
introduced in the last legislature.
OF this number PSI were passed
and reached the governor. The
preceding legislature, the Twelfth
placed in the Twelfth session law:
1914 separate acts. Had the veto
power not been used with such
energy the Thirteenth legislator,
would have more than equaleC
that number, OF had the governo
not vetoed s. bills a total of 23t
separate acts would have gone int
the Thirteenth idaho session laws
As it is but lo7 will be published

START WORK ON
DISTRICT NO. 5
Drainage Commissioners, Attorney and
Engineers Now Working on New
Assessment Roll
WORK TO COST ABOUT Sll5,OOO
Reclaim the Land with Series Of bikes
and bitches

The work of retaining some
5,4OO acres of overlooked land in
Drainage District No. S, located Oh
the north side of the Kootenai riv-
er, south of Boomers Ferry and ex-
tending down the river some II
miles, is to be started at once.
Drainage Commissioners Hawk
ms, Elliott and Wells, who were
appointed over a year ago just
prior to the time when the lower
courts declared the drainage laws
of the State of Idaho to be uucon-
stitutional, together with the attor
ney for Drainage. District No. 5,
Charles H. leighton, and the en-
gineers of the district have been
working for some weeks to perfect
the assessment roll of assessments
to be made on overlooked lands in
the district. This work, it is be-
1ieved, will soon be completed and
upon publication will be brought
before the district court of the
Eighth Judicial District for final
hearing and approval.
1t is estimated by the engineers
employed on the project that the
proposed reclamation work will
cost in the neighborhood of
Sis, 100000.
Commissioners of the district
have been assured by representa-
tives of several bonding houses
that the bonds of the drainage dis
trict will find ready sale. II is
proposed to issue IS year bonds.
Only interests on these bonds will
be paid for the first seven years,
according to the present plans.
The reclamation of Drainage
District is proposed by means of
dikes, dams and bitches. The
north bank of the Kootenai river is
to be raised to uniform height of
80 feet beginning at a point near
the Kootenai Valley railway COM
pany's bridge and extending some
II miles to the farther end of the
E. E. Elliott ranch. 1t is proposed
to put in pumping plant in the
mouth of the Jack Wall slough
near the Mission. This slough
will be closed with concrete dam
which will be provided with a SER
les of flood gates. A series of lat
erals and bitches from the foothills
will drain all the water of the dis
trict to the Jack Wall slough. 1t
is figured that the pumping station
will have to be used about six
weeks of the year and during the
remainder of the season the water
may be drained off by the opening
the food-gates.
In raising the north bank of the
Kootenai river 80 feet it is planned
to build dixie which will have g
sufficient width on top to provide
an excellent roadway. 1t is pos.
sible that Boundary county will be
asked to help pay for this road a:
it will be the only means of provid
ing travel for scores of rancher:
living on the lowlands below Bon
ners Ferry.

MAY TAKE OFF
K. Y. TRAINS
Report Is Current That Great Northern
Officials Are Seriously Consider
ing Such Action
GREAT OPPOSITION TO PLAN
Understood G. N. Investigators Have
Reported Against Discontiuuance

Ranchers and property owners of
this district and especially of the
Kootenai Valley between Boomers
Ferry and the Canadian boundary
line are considerably exercised by
the report which has been circulate
ed in railroad circles that the Great
Northern Railway Company was
seriously contemplating discontin-
uing the bi-weekly service OH its
branch line, the Kootenai Valley
railroad running from Boomers
Ferry to Porthill.
1t is known positively that such
action has been discussed by the
higher officials of the Great North
ern at the general Office of the COM
pany in St. Paul, but it is not
known whether the plan has met
with the approval or disapproval of
the majority of these officials. 1t
is claimed by railway men that the
K. V. branch line has never been
a paying investment in either the
passenger or freight departments.
Travelling Passenger Agent R.
c. Shaw and Travelling Freight
Agent John Maher have both been
over the K. V. line recently pre-
sumably on trip of investigation
having to do with the proposed
plan to discontinue the K. V.
service. 1t is understood that both
these officials have recommended
that the K. V. service be not dis
continued.
With the first intimation of the
plan to take off the K. V. trains,
property owners of valley lands
and of this city took steps to see
what could be done to prevent the
move. The ranchers of the valley
below Boomers Ferry now have
very inadequate train and mail
service and the discontinuance of
the present service would mean the
depreciation of property as we'll as
cutting off mail service and the
chance to ship out the products of
the valley and ship in the necessi-
ties of life. In the summer time
the boats on the Kootenai river
would give service but in the win
ter time when the Kootenai is
frozen over the rancher would have
no way of communication with
Boomers Ferry or other. points ex-
cept by wagon roads. The matter
has been brought to the attention
of the Idaho State Utilities Com
mission and strenuous effort will
be made to prevent the discontin-
uance of the K. V. service.
The Kootenai Valley railway
opens up territory of some 40, 900
acres of overlooked and cut-over
land which will be very productive
when reclaimed and cleared.

 Tt is false that the cities of Me dira and Progress and towns in other parts of the state of Yucatan have been burned by the forces of Gen. Alvarado.
 Perfect peace prevails. General Alvarado has given every kind of guarantee to the chamber of agricul ture of Yucatan."
 The Cuban cruiser Cuba arrived in Havana, March 20, from Progreso with 437 refugees, including some of the richest men in Yucatan on board.

COWS GUIDE GERMANS

Crude drawings of COWS of varying proportions, some in attitudes of de- fense, belligerency or alarm, and others in grazing positions, were noticed by French officers in the campaign on the Aisne. The sketches appeared on walls, buildings, bridges and in every avail able place in the departments of Disc and Somme.
 Investigation disclosed that they were part of a perfect system of com munication organized by German scouts, similar to the system often en- ployed by gypsies and tramps for in dicating information to those of their confreres that come after.
 The position of the cows head was the French troops were to be found, and the size of the animal indicate the importance of the forces.
 A very small COW meant that the route was not very strongly guarded; ; a COW in a natural position of defense indicated notifications in the neigh hood, and the size of the animal in dicated the strength of the fOrtifica- tions. and the pose of the head the ex- act location. A COW whose head was raised on high indicated that prudence was necessary in exploring the neigh borhood before venturing farther.
