NEW YORK, Dec. ia plan to nom
mate Colonel Theodore Roosevelt for
President on the Republican ticket in
1916, and to bring about coalition pc
tween tho Republican and Progressive
parties, is believed to have been dia-
cussed by several leading men at 4 pri-
vate dinner given recently by Judge
Elbert II. Gary in his home, $50 Ftfth
avenue.
The news Of this dinner, which was
surrounded with the utmost secrecy
has Just come out, and has set the po-
litical world talking. Not one of the
men who are known to have attended
the dinner will discuss it one way or
the other.

About Twenty Present.
It was learned that there were in all
about twenty persons present, including
several prominent Republican leaders
and two Progressive leaders The
names Of all. however. could not be
learned.
Color was given to the belief that
the meeting was called for this pur-
pose bv the fact that Gov r. Living
ston Reeckman. of Rhode Island, ac-
cordng to report. a few days before
the dinner saw Colonel Roosevelt and
told him that he must be the Republi-
can candidate in 1916.
On Friday afternoon. according to
information learned today, Medill Mr-
Cormick and Robinso nheld a long
conference with the colonel at his OF
fce and went over the same situation.
The only drawback in the plan, &C e.
cordinE to the report, was the atts-
tude OF the "reactionary" leaders
within the Republican party. who. Il
is believed. would be against any
such plan.
William Barnes and Senator Boise
Penrose were mentioned as two who
would oppose such a move, even go
ing to the extent, ii Is thought, OF
carrying the fight to the floor of the
convention in Chicago on June 7.
Gary and Belmont Reticent.
When Judge Gary was reached by
telephone he positively refused 20
discuss what occurred at the dinner.

explain it.
She said she went partly to see to
Irene Bryant, a girl who had been
sent to the Children's Home recently
from this county. That Judge Jen-
sen wanted her to find out some
things for him about Irene, and she
combined the two matters in the trip.
She was on the program of the
teachers association for a paper on
probation work. She had asked
Judge Jensen if she might be ex-
cused from duty here to go, and he
said certainly yes; and to go and
put in her bill for her carfare and
hotel room, and she did; she con-
sidered the rest of it her own per-
sonal expense. Answering questions
from Chairman Bond she said the
matter regarding Irene Bryant was
not important enough to require a
trip to Boise, it could have been done

told her upon her return, to put in
her bill to the county for the car
, fare and hotel expense. He was her
appointing officer AMI she took her
orders from him. Mr.. Doud was in
the office when she talked to Judge
Jensen about it.
Mrs. Kahn was excused and about
the time she went out, Judge Jensen
walked in; he was asked regarding
the same matters and in manifest
surprise said he did not authorize
her to go to Boise; that he had moth
ing for her to do there; that he did
not know she was going until a day
or two after she had gone. He was
shown the bill and was asked if he
did not o. K. it. He said he did not,
that his name was on the back where
he had taken her acknowledgment in
making her affidavit that it was q
just and true account. On further
reflection he said he did have some
knowledge or intimation that she
was intending to go, but nothing def

mite until after she had gone. After
she had returned she had spoken to
him about putting in her bill for her
expenses and he had told her that
would be matter for the commits
sioners to settle.
1t was suggested that perhaps Mr..
Doud could throw some light on the
matter, and he studied a moment
and said he had some recollection of
something of the kind, and then
maintained silence.
The board asked Judge Jensen
what he thought about having a pro-
baton officer, and he said he did
not approve of it, and that many
other probate judges over the state
felt the same about it. He thought
that the probation work had been
carried too far land that it was only
intended that when all efforts at
handling situation by teacher and
trustees had failed that they should
then refer it to the probation officer
and that those cases would be very
scarce if that method was followed
and 1t would cut out a great deal OF
expense for salary and "a great
amount of livery. That the sheriff
could attend to nearly all of those
matters just as we'll as woman and
in very much less time. He could
handle it in connection with his other
work and with his automobile. and

bills should not be cut to something
below $3.50 each, and after hearing
their protests, the board excused
them. On looking up the contract
under which the county printing was
being done by The Blackfot Optimist
tie board found that the publication
of the ballot was provided for and
it gave the publisher $16S. His bill
was reduced 1912 and made to read
$16S for that item. Each of the
others were reduced $3.50 and made
t read 5000 for printing the ballot.
County Superintendent Asks
Mrs. Lulah Smith asked the board
if she could have dictionary and
a telephone. She did not like to
go down to the sheriff's office
every time she was called. AMI it was
not always agreeable to talk over
school matters in such public place.
Commissioner Christensen jokingly
said, well, here's Trego, we'll put
it up to him."
Mr.. Trego asked if she were going
to keep deputies in her office and
ON the pay roll to comply with one
section that says the office must be
kept open every day, or comply with
the other part of the statute saying
that if it were not kept open she
must put a placard on the door to
show what days she would be there.
Mrs. Smith replied that she was
going to do her own work and dis
pense with deputies just as nearly as
possible.
Mr.. Trego replied, well, l will
grant you dictionary, and as l have
been opposing the commissioners on
other claims with as much merit as
yours for telephone, will refer you
TO the board about that"
Afterwards Mr.. Trego returned
and suggested that as the chambers
Tof the district judge were practically
abandoned, they might take that
phone and connect it to the old wir-
ing in Mrs. Smiths office and keep
1t working. Col. Fugate said they
had just adopted that plan themselves
and that all was going on happily.
Road and Bridge Bills
The board got through with the
current expense bills on Wednesday
at noon and then took up the uues-
ton of supplying poison for killing
the rabbit pests. After finishing that
they expected to spend Friday on
road and bridge bills and take a re-
cess until Tuesday when they will
hear complaints on tax matters, and

APPOINTS Probation officer


Probate Judge E. A. Doud appear
ed before the board to say that he
had appointed Fannie r. Kahn pro-
baton officer, and wanted to know If
they would put her on a regular sal
airy and provide her an office. She
had been sharing the county superin-
tendent's office heretofore, but that
such an arrangement could not be re-
newed and Mrs Kahn would have to
find other quarters, and would need
a desk and perhaps other furniture.
The board had just been looking
over Mrs. Kain's bills as probation
officer and as assistant superinten-
dent and for expenses, and Commits
sioner Christensen said he doubted
the, wisdom of having any probation
officer at all. That he thought the
sheriff's office should attend to all
there was to do in that line and that
he was convinced there had been too
much probation work and the expense
was growing too great.
Mr.. Doud thought it advisable to
have a probation officer and that Mrs.
Kahn was the only one to be consid-
cred.
The question of allowing Miss
Beach's bill for expenses to Boise for
both the county superintendent con-
vention in October and the state
teachers association in December
and for Mrs. Kain's car fare and
hotel expense attending the teachers
association were discussed, and the
law was read, saying the state sup
erintendent might assemble two or
more superintendent in conference
once a year, and their expenses were
a proper charge. Mrs. Kain's bill
for $129 included 5000 for the
Boise trip, and she was sent for tc

Without trying to be killjoy for
California and without wishing to throw
wet blanket over the projects of the
energetic people of the Pacific coast, we
should like to speak just one little word
against any expeditions to the western
coast by those who haven't the means to
keep them alive once they get there.
Those who 90 to California with the ex-
pectation OF finding work to keep soul and
body together will be mistaken, for they
will find countless persons there ahead of
them, those who got an earlier start by
reason of being nearer to the scene
Moreover, it is probable there will be 100
applicants for every job. For those who
haven't the money to spend, we should
say that the stay-at- home policy is the
only course to pursue just now, when the
magnet is being turned to all quarters of
the continent in an effort to attract PEG
pie The prospectus of the two exposi
tions is very pleasing; but you can't live
on scenery, let it be remembered.
