THE FLYING SQUADRON
The Suragette Special Stopped at Our Capital City and
Gave Program in the Evening

CATION yet 1t was readily admltted
that Miss Todd of California made
the hit of the evening.
The Governor was out Of the
city but he hurried home some
time during the night to welcome
the Suffragists under the Capital
dome on the following day. This
was a red letter day for the Gov
ernor who had declared a suspension
of business in the Capital building
from ten to twelve o'clock. Miss
Mabel Vernon of New Jersey acted
as master of ceremonies. Our dis
tinguished governor has been intro
duced many times to larger
audiences but never in a more fit
ting and complimentary manner and
by so fine looking a woman. The
introduction seemed to put the gov
ernor on his metal and he at once
waded into his subject. Judicious
applause (by the suffragists) urged
him to his best effort. When the
governor got through there was
little left of Idaho. He had given
it all to these ladies. His central
thought was this-If you don't see
what you want ask for it. He was
even more generous than King
Ahasuerus of ancient fame who pro-
missed Queen Esther the half of his
kingdom: Our good governor didn't
deal in halves of anything. After
exhausting his subject he stepped
aside and admired himself from
head to foot while waiting for the
generous applause to subside.
As soon as quiet was restored
this omnipresent New Jersey girl
announced that Mrs. Blatch would
return thanks for the generous well
come. Mrs. Blatch stood immedi-
ately in front of the governor and
her first sentence was this: "Now
Governor Alexander, I want to talk
personally to you minute or two
as one Democrat to another Demo.
crat." And in her soft pleading
accents it took her but few min
utes to show that our Moses, oul
own Governor, was but a bag Of
wind. Of course she did not use
such vulgar words for she was {
lady. Promises aud flattery were
not what the Flying Squadron were
seeking but action-do it now

To the Editor of the Gazette.


As your special correspondent
from the State Capital desire to
say that the "Suffragist Special"
has come and gone. To appreciate
this wonderful movement one must
come into actual contact with its
leaders. 1t is not necessary to add
that the ladies making up the ely
ing Squadron" were specialists in
their line-that is understood in
advance.
That they received rather a cool
reception in Boise will be readily
admitted by all except bonafide
residents of the Capital City. The
special arrived on time. The Mayor
of the city whose duty it was to
welcome the ladies was on hand but
looked and felt lonesome. How
ever he performed his part hero
ically even if he was glad when it
was over. In the evening the
theatre was we'll filled but it was
by no means a capacity audience"
The program was carried out to
the minutest detail. The blare of
trumpets was lacking but the women
who were good to look at as we'll
as eloquent in speech. were not a
disappointment.
Those who believe in women suf-
frage, and we all do, were delight
ed not only with the arguments pre-
sented but with their splendid de-
livery. 1t was a pleasant evening
delightfully."- and profitably spent.
The speakers were not a lot of
blatant suffragettes, but refined and
educated women who knew their
rights and were at all times ready
to maintain them.
1t may be considered a lack of
political wisdom to criticise Senator
Borah not only in his own state but
more especially in his own town,
but Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch,
the daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, the poineer suffragist
was equal to the occasion. This
magnificent woman figuratively
flayed Idaho's illustrious senator
The following is but a sample o1
what she said:
Senator Borah argues that a
the Fifteenth amendment has mo-
been enforced for the colored man
a federal amendment for women
suffrage would be but a fraud OF
the negro women. The answer i
obvious: If Senator Borah think
the amendments his party passes
are not enforced and yet ought t.
be, why has he not fought steadil
ever since he has been in the senat
for the accomplishment of his be
liefs? Why does he seek to eas
his conscience by penalizing wome
. politically"
From Senator Borah Mrs. Blatc

WAGNER HELD
FOR ASSAULT
Attempted to Murder One Of
His Neighbors

ner, who made an unsuccessful
attempt yesterday to murder W. H.
Duff and whose plans also provided
for killing Charles Graves, is held
in the county Jail here and will face
charge of assault with intent to
commit murder. Wagoner's act
was perpetrated under circum-
stances that would indicate he had
become temporarily insane, the re-
suit of brooding over trouble of
several years standing concerning a
road controversy. Duff was badly
injured as the result of the beating
he received, but advices received
by Sheriff Campbell this evening
would indicate the man will recover.
Facts learned by Sheriff Campbell
show that Wagner went to the
home of Duff at o'clock yesterday
morning and carried with him a
.44-caliber Colts revolver. He shot
three times at Duff with the revol-
yer and missed. He then took a
20 rifle owned by Duff and en-
deavored to use this but could not
make the weapon work. He then
beat Duff over the head with the
revolver. Duff is seventy-three
years old, while Wagner is fifty
three, and the older man was power
less to effectively resist. Wagner,
finding that the beating had not
killed Duff, forced the latter to
accompany him to the Wagner
home a mile or so distant. Here
Wagner got a 30-30 rifle and then
went to his barn and corrals where
he kissed his horses and cattle good.
bye, offering them endearing terms.
He then forced Duff, who was weak
from loss of blood, the result OF
the beating, to march down the
road toward the Charles Groves
place about one and one-half miles
distant, it being the purpose ap
parently of Wagner to kill both
Duff and Graves and then himself
After travelling about half the dis
tance to the Graves place, Wagner
engaged Duff in conversation anc
the latter accepted a chance for hi
life by boiling into run. Wagon

man at close range but missed
However. he believed that he hat

cabin. Duff succeeded in reaching
the Graves home when the authori
ties were notified.
Sheriff Campbell found Wagone
in his cabin and the man was in
frenzied state. After the sheriff
gained admittance to the building
Wagner made move toward hi

ready to present to the secretary of the interior
 In the meantime, also during the past summer, much attention was given to the different bureaus of this department to the matter of formu- lating satisfactory coal leases and re- gulations, all of which has been done. so that immediately the field notes are received here from Juneau the department will be in a position to promptly issue coal regulations and information for the leasing of coal lands in Alaska.
 You will recall that section 10 of the coal leasing act provides for free use permits on small tracts for local consumption. Regulations and forms under this section were issued short Iy after the act was passed, and I en- close herewith copy. Advices have reached this office of operations be- ing conducted under such permits in ten cases.
 From the above. you will note that, so far as the larger leasing operations are concerned, the department has not up to date been in a position to grant lease on any Alaska coal lands or to consider any application, though there have been numerous requests for information in this connection. Yours very truly,
 CLAY TALLMAN.

HITCH ON GOAL LEASES |S
 SHOWN UP

The following correspondence re- garding Alaska coal land leases ex- plains itself. The correspondence, which is a copy of the original, was received in Juneau in the last mail:
 Department of the Interior,
 General Land Office,
 Washington, Feb. 23, 1916. Hon. T. J. Walsh,
 United States Senate.
 My Dear Senator: In response to your recent inquiry by telephone with respect to the matter of leases on the Alaska coal lands, under the Alas ka coal leasing act of October 20, 1914, beg to advise that. as you recall, the act in question requires that the secretary of the interior shall cause said lands to be surveyed and laid out in leasing blocks; said act also authorizes the President to set aside certain areas as a reserve fop govern ment use. Under the circumstances, therefore, the first thing to do under this act was to get the land surveyed. Consequently, necessary surveying parties went into each of the three principal coal fields, namely, Boring river, Matanuska and Nenana, as ear " as weather conditions would per init last spring. The land surveyors were accompanied by topographic surveyors; and in two fields, the Mat anuska and Boring river, they were accompanied by coal mining engi- neers. The field work was all com pleted during the last summer season. The preparation of the necessary plats and field notes is now going on at Juneau as rapidly as possible, and we expect to have all of them in hand here within a few weeks
 In the meantime the two coal min ing engineers were given advance photographic copies of topographic sheets and survey plate, so that they could go ahead with the work of mak- ing up their reports and laying out blocks of land for leasing purposes. These two men are here at present, and have their reports practically all

DOOM OF SAFETY
BOARD IS SEALED
Two Commissions Of Four Men
Each Instead

Although all present were agreed
that the present system or police and
fire department administration by a
partisan board of three members is
Joke and gives great opportunity Tor
the playing of politics, it took the
mem bers of the charter revision com
1nittee a long time last night to agree
to recommend a police and fire board
of four men each, to appointed year
Iy for terms of four years so that at
all times there will be three old COM
missioners on each board.
When the matter of splitting the
board was introduced there was not
a dissenting vote, but when the make
up Of the new commission was as
cussed positive opinions were freely
offered. Senator George w. Klett adj
vocated a one man commission, ar
guing that the placing Of power in
capable individual makes him con-
sentative. He said he was totally OPP
posed to a four man board as it was
getting back into the old rut. E w.
Christ, E. f. Hall and Richard Covert
each supported the senator's idea and
the latter made a motion, later voted
down, that each departm ent be gov
erned by a, one man com mission to
be appointed by the mayor for a term
Of five years.
Mayor Quigley, G. M. Landers, T.
H. Kehoe and II. ". Camp just as
stoutly defended the four man COM
mission. They admitted the value of
an efhclent one man commission but
declared that the city is not yet big
enough for such action, that it can
not and would not pay the necessary
high salary to get a proper official.
Mr.. Landers said he wanted to go on
record as disagreeing with any
scheme for a. one man board Politics
In New Britain should be fought es-
sentially on state and national issues
he said. Although he admitted the

wisdom Of a one man board, Mr.
Landers reiterated the opinion that
that the city would not be able or
willing to pay the needed salary. He
said that possibly two years hence, if
conditions changed he would be
willing to support a measure for
single headed department if cap
able man could be found at the right
price.
Put to a vote Messrs Klett and
Covert voted against the four man
commissions
Those present were Chairman B.
F. Gaffney, Mayor G. A. Quigley,

On City Planning.
In motion of Senator Klett, a coun-
Gil resolution was approved providing
that the charter be so changed that all

they can be recorded. Section SO Of
