1t was his judgment that the Clarke

He said he must withhold judgment

UNIVERSITY LANDS
IN CONTROVERSY
REPORTED THAT STATE SUPREME
COURT BE APPEALED TO TO DE
TERMINE JURISDICATI0N
Regents Claim Control Contention
Originated With President Herman
j. ROssi of Wallace

BOISE, Ida, Mar. -(Special.)-
That test case will be instituted in
the state supreme court to determine
whether the board Of regents of the
| University of Idaho or the state land
board has control over the endowed
lands granted to the university, was
developed here today when it became
known that representative of a
member of the state board of educa-
ton has just recently completed q
thorough inspection of the books of
the land department, determining Just
what lands were segregated for the
benefit of the university and determln-
ing on the amount of outstanding
loans, the interest of which amounts
to $4,000 and which had never been
paid.
Through the insistent demands OF
Herman j. Rossi of Wallace, president
of the state board of education, the
matter was brought to the attention
of Attorney General Peterson nearly
a year ago, seeking to determine from
that official by what right the man
agement of the university lands be-
came vested in the state land board.
In lengthy opinion by Mr.. Peterson,
he held that the state land board had
jurisdiction.
The efforts of Mr.. Rossi are sad
not to have stopped at that point, feel
ing that the control of such lands and
the investment of accrued funds were
vested in the authority of the board OF
regents, and it is understood that Mr.
Rossi will be active in assisting N
carrying the matter before the hign
est tribunals with view of establish
ing the rights of the board OF regents
to control such lands.
the attorney general it is understood
that the best legal talent in the state
will be in charge of the
case for those interested in seeing
that the board OF regents may assume
control over the lands.
Since Mr.. Rossi's term of office as
a member Of the state board OF educa-
ton will expire next month and he
expects to retire, his participation in
bringing this important matter before
the people will be the outstanding and
browning Achievement of his connec-
ton with the state board Of educa-
ion.
It is understood that the legal
steps will be carried out within the
lext few days.

ships, the Royal Dutch Lloyd liner
Tubantia sank in the North sea, it
was reported today. The vessel car
ried 81 passengers and a crew of 300.
All were reported saved. The COM
pany's offices said the vessel hit a
mine but the captain thought perhaps
she was torpedoed.
Hole Ripped in Stern
The explosion occurred at midnight,
12 hours after the vessel had sailed
from Amsterdam A huge hole was
ripped in her stern. Wireless calls
for help were Immediately flashed and
the passengers and crew abandoned the
asset On the fact that the Tubantia
Awas near land is believed to have pre-
vented casualties.
Three Americans Aboard

the Tubantia. One Amsterdam CORES
pondent declared that the vessel was
torpedoed without warning Others
thought the vessel struck one OF the
German mines recently planted in the

Invalid District Court Cases

BOISE, Mar 16-(Special.) City
police judges have no right to fine a
defendant for having liquor illegally
in his possession. Senate bill No so,
after which many city ordinances are
patterned, confers no such authority
on municipal courts. Police judges,
like probate judges and judges of the
peace only have power to commit in
such cases. Municipalities are not
empowered to enact ordinances regu-
lating or prohibiting possession of
liquor Offenses against the prohibi
tion laws are conferred upon the dis
trict courts.
Such was the decision of the SUI
preme court in affirming the judg-
ment of Judge Flynn in the case
of William Frederic, who was fined
$50 in the police court Of Coeur d.
Alene under a city ordinance. He ap-
pealed to the district court and Judge
Flynn after hearing the evidence,
dismissed the jury and discharged the
defendant. From this judgment ap
peal was taken.
