BRITISH FEEL NEW
PREMIER'S ENERGY
PUBLIC BELIEVES FATAL CON-
SERVATISM OF WAR MANAGE
MENT IS SMASHED
New Cabinet Organization Places Un-
usual Power in Hands Of David
Lloyd.Ge0rge

LONDON, Dec. 11.-Despite the ill
ness of DAVID Lloyd-George, which
has confined him to his bed ,as re-
suit of his working 25 hours daily,
the whole nation feels the effect of his
energy. The public believes that
British conservatism has been smash
ed.
Some newspapers have made charges
that Loyd-George is a tool of Lord
Northcliffe. These rumors were stop
ped when Balfour and Lord Cecil were
named members of the new cabinet.
Northcliffe hates both of them.
The official list of the new min
istry just issued follows the uReffic-
ial forecast with two of three minor
changes: Mr.. Lloyd-George, Lord Mil
ner, Earl Curzon, Andrew Bonar Law
and Arthur Henderson form what is
officially termed the war cabinet,
while the others, who ordinarily have
been designated as cabinet ministers,
are called heads of departments.
This novel organization concentrat-
es far more power in the hands of the
prime minister than the British sys
tenn has ever konwn. Mr.. Lloyd
George has not hesitated to place him
self in position more closely resem-
bling dictatorship than he was will
ing to give his predecessor.
The war cabinet will hold daily ses-
sions, directing the prosecution of the
war and the freedom of Mr.. Lloyd
George, Lord Miner and Mr.. Hender-
son from departmental duties will al
low them to devote all their time to
the war council. The work of the ex-.
chequer and government leadership in
the house of commons will absorb
most of Mr. Bonar aLw's time and
attendance on the house of lords will
necessitate Earl Cruzon's absence
from the council frequently. So that
Mr. Lloyd George, Lord Miner and
Mr. Henderson will be the chief d-
rectors of the war

COMMISSION WOULD
RELIEVE The COURT
APHRAES ARE FILED FASTER
THAN COURT CAN DISPOSE
OF THEN
Legislature May be Asked to Offer
Constitutional Amendment In
creasing Court to Five

The creation of a judicial commits
sion, the duties of which shall be to
give relief to the supreme court OF
this state so that the cases pending
on appeal for the past two years may
be cleaned up and disposed of, may be
asked of the next legislature.
At the present time the supreme
court of Idaho is 260 cases, on appeal,
behind. If that tribunal did nothing
else and heard no other case for two
years from today, it would only be
able 10 dispose of the pending cases.
During two of the spring months this
year when check was kept on ap-
pealed cases filed, there were go for
the 80 days 1t seems to be a we'll es-
tablisAed fact, it is said, that one JUS
tice can write so decisions year so
that the court can dispose of $50 cases
per annum that require decisions.
The proposal to give the court the
needed relief, is to have a commission
created by the new legislature, en-
power it to remain in existance until
all of the cases on appeal are disposed
of and pay each commissioner on the
same per annum basis as the justices
of the supreme court are now receiF-
ing. Alternately the members of the
commission can then sit with two JUS
tices of the supreme court, allowing
the third justice to devote his time to
decisions. Tbs court justices can also.
alternate in the same manner and in
this way more than double the number
Of appeals that are now being heard
by the court can be disposed of.
1t is hoped to have the next legisla-
ture submit to the voters constitu-
tional amendment increasing the num-
Der OF justices of the supreme court
from three to five. If the Legislature
does this and the amendment is sati-
fled by the electors of the state at
the next general election two years
hence, the legislative enactment, ce-
ating; the judicial commission will cou-
tain provision that it will automat- /
icalIys cease to exist, the two addition
al justices taking over the work of |
the commission. |,

NO INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Health Board, However, is on the
 Alert for Possible Outbreak.

Infantile paralysis, that dread dis
 ease which attacks the young so re-
 lentlessly and is at present reportedas epidemic in New York city, has yet
 to make it's appearance in this city,
 but the local health department is alertly watching and is prepared to
 battle against it as it has done the
 recent outbreak of typhoid fever. The
 department urges all parents to keep
 children, who show symptoms of fret
 ful, feversh condition, apart from their playmates for day or two. In this way the baneful effect of the disease, paralysis of the limbs,
 may be averted. Infantile paralysis is proceeded by a day or two of fret full feverish condition, followed quickly by a poralyzed limb and is contagious. Chll9ren between the ages of three and 10 years are parti- cularly susceptible. It is recognized as a summer disease and normally reaches the climax in August. The l last serious outbreak was in the sum | mer of 1907 when an epidemic swept the whole country.

Corporal Mathon Had Smallpox h. stead of Chickenpox as First
 Reported.

Nogales, Ariz., July 5.-With the arrival yesterday of the last of the Con- necticut infantry, consisting of the secopd battalions of the First and Second regiments, the garrison here now numbers about 5000 men.
 The Second battalion of the Second regiment was placed in quarantine because of a case of suspected small pox which developed shortly after the train left Mantle. The sick man, Corporal Mathon, Company H, of Wa terbury was not put off the train when he first became i'll, as it was thought he was suffering from chickenpox.
 A steel jacketed bullet found in a car occupied by a Second regiment company led to the belief that it had been fired by a sniper. The engineer of the train, who became unconscious In his seat as the train was approach ing Lordsbury, was. found to ha1 6 been wounded in the back of the neck. One of the enlisted men of Company E, himself a locomotive engineer, took charge of the locomotive and brought the train into Lordsburg.

Bertrand, a merchant of Moreschi, Sonora, reached here yesterday after a 200 mile trip by horseback from Ures For ten days they rode their mounts at top speed, stopping for an hours sleep only, when exhaustion compelled them.

FRENCH TROOPS PAY.

Saloniki, Greece, July 5-The bank CTS of this city figure that $1,500,OOO is being spent weekly by the French troops in Macedonia. At least this amount passes from Paris to Saloniki through the hands of the local Greek bankers each week. It is possible that considerably more comes to the French soldiers in money orders and registered letters of which the local bankers have no record. The British troops spend only s1,000,00O a week, as much more of the British stores are sent out from home than is the case with the French.
