STREET IMPROVEMENT
TO BE CONSIDERED AT
LUNCHEONON TUESDAY

A city, street improvement sentiment
luncheon will be held at the CONNER
cial club at noon Thursday. The idea
is to get the sentiment of large num-
Der of taxpayers from the various in
terests to ascertain whether or not they
feel that the city council should make
some street improvements during 1916
and if so, to what exsent and of what
character. To determine this vote
will be taken at the luncheon. Ballots
containing questions as to the kind of
improvements. the extent and the ma
ture will be asked and the answers
will be carefully checked up.
The committee in charge of the event
is now selecting speakers for the oc-
casion. The speakers will be men rep
resenting the various interests of the
city and men who have not heretofore
been lined up in the interests of city or
county improvements. Efforts are be-
ing put forth to have the luncheon the
largest attended affair in the history
of the club and as the question is one
in which every citizen of Boise is in
terested and upon which they have
ideas, it is not thought that many will
overloowk the opportunity to be pres
ent and chronicle their views.

LIFE TfRNER IS
GIVEN A PARDON
Reece Clevenger Released
From Penitentiary Be
cause of Ill Health.

Reece Clevenger, sentenced to serve
a term of life Imprisonment in the
Idaho state penitentiary for murder,
was given a pardon by the state board
of pardons at a meeting held yester-
day afternoon, for his condition is such,
the prison physician stated, that death
may oVertake him at any time. He is
pardoned, therefore, that he may die
outside of the walls of the penal insti-
tuition. The board did not act unani-
mously on the application. however,
Governor Alexander voted against it;
Attorney General Peterson and Secre-
tary of Stat Barker for it.
The Clevenger application was be-
fore the board at its last regular meet
ing when Clevenger was taken from
the penitentiary and appeared before
the board in person. His case was
continued without action. Yesterday
the prison physician made a report
showing that Clevenger is suffering
from tuberculosis and cannot live long.
1t was then that the board acted.
The crime for which the pardoned
man was convicted was committed in
HALEY when with three others. in
Guiding his brother. he is alleged to
nave neld up DaNdy mouse ana kllleu
a musician inmate. Clevenger has
persistently maintained that he Is in
nocent of the crime. His story is to
the effect that he left homestead
in Montana for Idaho in the hope of
finding range for his stock: that he
had a brother at HALEY and visited
with him while on this mission. 1t
was while he was so visiting and
rooming with his brother that the
shooting in the questionable resort
took place. He told the board of par
dons that he was in bed at his room
at the time of the shooting and was
awakened by the report as well as by
the disturbance; that he knew nothing
about man being killed until the next
morning when he was arrested. All
four men were sent to the penitentiary.
Two of them were either paroled or
pardoned. one. clevenger's brother.

prison with tuberculosis and the last
