FUNSTON FOR RECALL
OF EXPEDITION
Border Commander Recommends That
American Troops In Mexico Be
Withdrawn.

WASHINGTON-A recommendation
from General Funston that the Ameri-
can troops be withdrawn from Mexico,
was contained in a report on the mil
itary situation made at the request Of
the war department and designed for
use of the joint commission which will
discuss border problems.
There can be little doubt, it is now
said, that the withdrawal will be
promptly agreed to when the commits
sion meets, the conferees then turning
their attention to the drafting of a
protocol to cover future border opera
tions, investigation of the causes of
bandit raids and such other matters
as they may wish to take up.
No intimation came from the White
House as to when announcement of
the American commission membership
would be made. 1t was believed that
the names would be made public next
week. Secretary Lane. who will head
the commission, already has accepted
his post

ENTERTAINER TO PRESENT
BENEFIT PROGRAM FOR TEAM
Finances of Local Base Ball Club To
BE Strengthened By Performance
Thursday Evening.

AS a benefit performance for the
Twin Falls baseball team, a varied
program of songs, dramatic readings
and representations will be presented
by T. Elmore Lucey, the noted enter
tainer, at the high school auditorium,
Thursday evening, August "a. Mr..
Lucey, who has had years of expert
ence in the entertaining line, and has
spent several seasons on the Orpheum
circuit, is considered one of the most
capable of performers and his pro-
gram is one of the varied kind which
is sure to please every taste.
The present state of the clubs fin
ances resulting from the poor attend
ance at the games has made this pre-
sentation necessary and the officials
in charge of the club are anxious that
as large crowd as possible turn out
to see the program. A charge Of
twenty-five cents for children and
fifty cents for adults will be made
and Mr.. Christian, manager of the
club, is certain that the program pre-
sented will be worth much more than
the admission. Tickets may be had at
Macauley's cigar store or from any of
the players.

INFANT PLAGUE CLAIMS
VICTIM IN IDAHO FALLS
Baby Dies From Paralysis in Eastern
Part of State. No Cause For Alarm
Says Health Official.

The death of an infant from infan-
tile paralysis at Idaho Falls and the
report from Salt Lake that an Idaho
Falls man visiting in the Utah CAPT
tai was suffering from the same dread
disease, has led DR.. Ralph Falk, sec
retary of the Idaho state board of
health, to take steps to halt the
spread of the disease, says the Boise
Statesman.
But one death has been reported
from the disease in Idaho. DR.. Falks
says there is no cause for alarm.
The health officer has asked the
railroads of the state to report to him
the names of travellers coming into
Idaho from points where the epidemic
is prevalent
Saturday Dr. Falk mailed a letter to
all physicians and health officers in
Idaho, calling attention to the danger
CT infantile paralysis spreading in
this state.
Three cases of infantile paralysis
has been reported to the health de-
partment in Idaho since the disease
spread early in the summer. One case

ROAD HEADS
DRAFT REFUSAL
Hope Expressed That Counter
Proposal Will Be Made
MAGNATES FIRM AGAINST ALLOW
ING EIGHT-HOUR DAY.
Demand For Arbitration Insistent,
Despite Chief Executives Appeal to
Patriotism.

WASHINGTON-As one American
citizen to another, President Wilson
appealed Monday to each of the exec
utives of the country's principal rail-
roads on grounds of patriotism to ac-
cept his plan for averting the threat
ened disaster of a nationwide strike.
He emphasized the necessity for keep
ing the railroads in service as a part
of the national defense and to make
preparation for meeting conditions
that Will exist after the European
war
On leaving the White House the
railroad presidents, augmented during
the day by arrivals from the west,
held conferences at which sentiment
was said to be against agreeing to the
presidents proposal in its platform.
Hope was expressed. however, that
some satisfactory counter proposition
might be advanced. 1t was decided to
turn over to a committee the task of
drafting a final reply to the president.
The railroad heads still insist tlat
President Wilson is asking them to
sacrifice the principle of arbitration
Elisha Lee, chairman of national con-
ference committee of railways, issued
statement Monday night in which he
said:
THAT the railroads should grant,
under threat of a national strike, a
S50000,000 wage preferment to a small
minority of their employees, without
a hearing before a public tribunal, is
incOnceivable in a democracy like
ours. All questions at issue-wages,
hours, costs, operating conditions
are submerged by the greater issue:
Shall arbitration be abandoned in the
settlement of industrial disputes" ?"
Although a few Of the railroad exc
cutives invited had not arrived Mon
day afternoon, it was decided that
those already in Washington were
representative, and therefore the pres
ident called them to the White House
and earnestly urged that his plan of
settlement be ratified. The president
said:
Il will not allow passion to come in
to my thoughts in this solemn matter
We are both acting as trustees of
great interests. l am willing to allow
this matter to go to the great Ameri-
can jury and let them assume the res
possibility. The responsibility of fail
ure will not rest with me.
Il wish you to consider the conse-
quences as affecting the people of
the cities and countrysides of a fail
ure to agree. The country cannot live
it the means of keeping alive its vital
ity are interferred with.

escaped. Hamill proceeded to the
Smith home and after talking the mat
ter over, returned to his cabin Here
he found that the boys had returned
and broken in and that they had
hitched up his horse to the vehicle
preparatory to making their escape.
One was packing up while the other
stood guard. They halted Hamill and
told him not to come to the house. He
parleyed with them for awhile and
finally told them that he was hungry
They replied that they would bring
him something to eat and the older
laid down his gun and got eggs and
bread for him. They then approached,
the younger boy keeping Hamill COW
cred with the rifle, while the older
held out the food Hamill grabbed the
older boy and held him up, reaching at
the same time for the other. Harold
cried Shoot" to which Lem replied,
81 do not want to shoot him" Harold
insisted and Lem pressed the trigger.
The rifle discharged and the bullet,
cutting through the sleeve of the older
boys coat, went crashing through the
brain of their victim, who fell forward
carrying Harold down under him. AS
soon as they had satisfied themselves
that Hamill was dead, the boys calmly
proceeded to pack up as much as pos
sible of his belongings, including four
guns and a revolver, loaded up provi-
sions in the rig and started for San
Jacinto Nevada. Driving through
sagebrush and over places where it
would be almost impossible to ride on
horseback, they had but one mishap;
the wagon tipped over, spilling out
all that it contained. They quickly
tied rope under it, hitched the horse
to the rope, righted it and drove out.
Passing San Jacinto, Wednesday at
o'clock p. M they doubled back and
after a short distance took the main
road to Rogerson, where they arrived
Thursday evening and secured the
services of an unknown to mend their
harness. Returning they passed
through Hollister and went as far as
Owsley's ferry where they arrived
Saturday evening and where they were
unable to cross the Snake river. They
were short of provisions by this time
and tried to sell the gun and other ar
ticles that they had stolen. Saturday
night the horse became entangled in a
wire fence and was badly cut up. Sun

camped at night near the home of w.
J. Craner four miles west of that city.
Craners son, who lives in Rogerson,
was visiting at the home of his father
and told the latter that boys were
wanted in connection with a murder
near the Nevada line. Suspicion point
ed to the boys in the rig and Mr..
Craner telephoned to Marshall j. F..

phoned Sunday evening to Probation
officer Ormsby here. Mr.. Ormsby
told him to take the boys into custody
At o'clock Sunday night Mr.. Bay

ficer that he had the boys and that
they had the guns and plunder, includ-
ing the pocketbook of the murdered
man on them, but that they denied

THIEF LEFT MOST
OF LOOT IN PURSE
RObbing Golden Rule Grocery In Day
light, He Failed to Find Bill Wrap
ped in Checks.

Stealing $50 which he found in a
pocket book stolen from the cash
drawer of the Golden Rule grocery at
noon yesterday, an unknown thief
threw away the purse which contained
SO bill wrapped up in two checks,
and the pocketbook, checks and bill
were found two hours later by the lit
tie son of Mrs. Lentz and returned to
the owner. J. Mainard, the proprietor
of the store, left the building at noon
to bring a small grocery order to a
resident of the neighborhood. When
he returned he missed the pocketbook,
but saw nobody about. The two
ohecks aggregated $40, and the cash
$3.50. About two hours later the
little Lentz boy was going to the
store, when he saw the pocketbook.
He picked it up and brought it home
to his mother, who investigated and
found the owner. The police and
sheriff were notified, but failed to get
any clue to the thief.

GREAT YIELDS OF
KIMBERLY ALSIKf
Immense Profits on Seed Around
NeighbOring TOwn-Other Big Re-
turns Anticipated.

That the reputed slump in the pro-
duction of alsike is confined to a rel
atively small area and that it does not
affect the fields around Kimberly, is
the opinion expressed by buyers at
that town, judging from results al
ready attained. Five loads of alsike
seed from forty-five acres owned by
s. II. Proctor sold this week to the
Idaho Seed & Produce company for
SO ,316, the owner reserving 500 pounds
of seed for himself. The seed brought
$15.75 a hundred before cleaning.
]. A. Standlee went this one better
by raising ten bushels of alsike to the
acre, and selling it for sixteen cents.
His seed was unusually clean. II. l..
Brandt was over this week from Nam
pa looking after his interests, and was
present when his renter, w. S. Beatty
threshed, getting seven bushels to the
acre and selling it for $15.75 hun
dred. Other big yields are expected
from the condition Of crops reported.

KANSAS FOR WILSON
SAYS J. ". TANNER
Filler Editor Says Sentiment In Sun

Democrats Are Hopeful.

81 believe that Kansas will go Dom
ocratic this fall from what l could
learn while there" said j. w. Tanner,
who returned Sunday from Atchison,
Kansas, where he went with his wife
to attend the funeral of his mother-in-
law. while there l met several men
familiar with conditions over the Sun
flower state" continued Mr.. Tanner,
land they expressed the opinion that
conditions were favorable for Demo-
cratic success. Jim Orr, who is one
of the best informed men in the state
on political conditions, told me that
there was little doubt that they would
line up in the Wilson column this fall
as the people liked the president and
we're dissatisfied with the manner in
which Hughes was conducting his
campaign"

BARKER AND NIHART
ON PRIMARY TICKET
Divergent Ruling by County Attorney
And Attorney General-Wnl Not
Appeal to Court.

In spite of a protest on the part of
a number of local Republicans and
the opinions of two local Republican
lawyers, backed by an opinion of the
attorney general, the nominations of
J H. Barker and Fred Nihart, as can
didates for the respective offices of
senator and representative before the
Republican primaries September 5,
were certified to at noon today by
County Clerk E. J. Finch The law in
the case seems capable of two con-
structions and after the time for NOM
nations closed, inquiry was made by
the west-end divisiOnists in regard to
the time for filing acceptances. Coun-
ty officers must file within five DAYS.
but the county attorney held that un-
der the law, the positions of senator
and representative were not county
offices. Depending on this opinion
the Buhlites failed to file until the
tenth day. Judge Lawrence Hansen
and James Fitzgerald also failed to
file on the Democratic ticket, but this
would not have proven fatal as the
county committee would have had
power to fill in their names, but the
failure to accept the filing of the ac-
ceptances of the division candidates
would have left the friends of division
without candidates on the ticket
where they seem to have elected to
make their fight. Those protesting
against the certificatiOn on accept
ances filed after five days determined
not to take the matters to the courts
but to let the names go on the ballots

BUHL TOWNSHIP is
BOUGHT BY COMPANY
viii BE Plated and Sold In Tracts
Includes 445 Acres Surrounding
the Town.

The Investors corporations filed ar
ticles of Incorporation last week, the
purpose of the organization being the
purchase of the Buhl townsite and the
sale of the same in small tracts. The
tract includes 445 acres and the price
paid was $3.50 an acre, which many
declare to have been a low figure con-
sidering that it envelopes the city of
Bull The former owners, the Buhl
Townsite company, have always held
the unplatted portion off the market.
President Asher B. Wilson of the new
company said that the company had
not determined on the size of the
tracts that would be sold nor when
they would be put on the market, but
that they would be for sale within
thirty days. Other officers of the
company are George d. Aiken, secre-
tary; ]. M. Maxwell, treasurer, and
these with Leonard Smith and E. A,
Miner, constitute the board of direc-
tors. H. F. Allen is also connected
with the company.
