Board Considers
Road Matters
MEETS A DELEGATION OF SETTLERS
Ask to Have Road Down BeneWah Creek Built
Consider Many Bills

Inc board OF county cOmmlS-
sioners is in session this week,
this being the regular January
session of the board. AS bills
are allowed only once in three
months, there are a large mum
Der to come before the board to
be acted upon at this session and
the greater part of the first few
days of the session Will be taken
up with them.
Outside of the bills the prin-
cipal thing that took up the at
tentiOn of the board Monday was
the appearance Of "a delegation
of ranchers of the Benewah road
district who came before them to
discuss road matters. There is
some money i'm the funds Of the
road district and the delegation
asked that the greater part of it
be used in building a road from
the st. Maries-Trenery road
down Benewah creek to Silvertips
landing.
The old KOOtenai county board
laid out this road and in 1914
did some work on it, building
about one mile of the total three
miles. The settlers also did
some donation work but as their
object was to get a way out they
were not particular about follow
ing the right of way laid out.
The road that was built by the
county has not been used or
worked and in many places the
bank has fallen in and it will re-
quire considerable work to put
it in good condition again. This,
with the clearing out and build
ing of the new road, will take all
the money that can be spared.
The members of the delegation
which appeared before the COM
missioners were nearly all from
Treffery and beyond. They do
not live along the proposed road
hut above it, but were anxious to
have the road built in order to
furnish an outlet to the landing
on the river. Besides being Of
benefit to the settlers above, it
will be of still greater benefit to
those lying between the Treffery
road and the river as it will give
them an outlet to the city. AS
it. is now, most of these settlers
either have to pack their sup
plies in from the landing or from
the Treffery road.
The board took no action on
the matter at the time but as it
appears to be almost the unani-
NOUS wish of the people that the
road be built, the board will prob
ahy use the money for that pur-
pose. The main reason why the
people in the upper end Of Bene-
wah valley are so anxious to have
the road built during the com
ing summer is that it will fur
nish them a means of getting
their timber out to the lake.

Makes Plea For
Charles George

Boise, Idaho, Jan. "a hu-
man life hung in the balance of
the pardon boards deliberations
yesterday for a stubborn plea
was made to secure commuta-
tion of the death sentence for
Charles George, a Bulgarian,
who for more than a year has
been i'm solitary confinement in
the state penitentiary, having Sc
cured a stay of execution pend
ing The outcome of an appeal
from the judgment to the su-
.preme court.
Should the board interfere
with the case while pending be-
fore the last court of resort in
This state?
That was one of the most ser
ious questions which confronted
That body.
Even if it did, would it not be
working an injustice to George
i'm that ON review the court
might reverse the Judgment on
error and give him a new trial?
Many questions like this arose
The board was urged to act for
humanitarianism if for nothing
else. Then there arose in the
argument Of J. b. Eldridge, ap-
lpcaring voluntarily on behalf of
George, the question of the suf-
iiciency of the evidence. It was
large circumstantial. Even
Herbert Wing, assistant attorney
general, fatty stated to the board
that after carefully reviewing
the record there was a reasonable
doubt in his mind as to whether
or not George was guilty of pre-
lmeditated murder. He declared
that from what he knew of the
case, that were he directed by the
attorney general to defend the
verdict before the supreme court
and the question of his position
depended on his assent he would
have to refuse. The court took
] the case under advisement.
George is the man who was
convicted at Wallace of having
killed one ChristoG on Big Greek
about a year ago. The body of
Christoff was found i'm one OF
lBranson's abandoned warehouses
badly bruised and with rope
around his neck. George was
arrested while trying to cash a
check belonging to the dead man.

and Rixey. The second quartet is Miss
Biggs, Mrs. Wagner, and Messrs Sap
pington and Mitchell. Miss Sweeney

ILLEGAL SUBMARINE WAR
MUST CEASE SAYS WILSON
President Told Joint Session Of Con-
gress Wednesday Morning That
Note Was Sent.
WENT TO GERMANY LAST NIGHT
Senator Stone, Of Missouri, viii Ask
that Message be Printed for the
Public


Ledger Special.
Washington, D. c., April 19.--
President Wilson at one o'clock today
went befor a joint session of Congress
and announced to that body he had
sent a note to Germany last night Civ
ing the Berlin government irrevocable
notification that the United States
will break off diplomatic relations
with them if the Illegal submarine
campaign they have been waging con-
tinues. The breaking off of diplomatic
relations would be practically a decla-
ration Of war.
The note was virtually an ultima
tum. Senator w. ]. Stone Of Mis-
souri, says he will move that the mes
sage be printed. 1t was referred to
the foreign relation committee to be
considered.
President Wilson's purpose in going
before congress is explained to be in
recognition Of the fact that while the
executive branch of the government
has power to break diplomatic rela-
tons, Congress alone has the power to
declare war, and the President feels
therefore that ii should be advised Of
an action in which it may subsequently
be called upon to bear a part.
