ERROR CAUSE OF
PAVING PROTEST
Report That City Would Put Paving
Over Old Pipe Made Citizens Send
In Objection.

A protest against the paving of Sho-
shone street was filed by 13 citizens
interested at the meeting of the city
council held Monday night for the
purpose of hearing objections, but was
not pushed on account of the fact that
at least part of those who signed the
protest were mistaken in regard to
conditions. The idea got abroad that
the plan was to put down the pave
ment over the old wooden pipe on
Shoshone street, and still use this as
q channel to carry water to the city.
The councilmen explained that the
plans for the water system now draft
ed contemplate carrying the water in
pipes on Second street north and
Second street east and that the prac-
tice of carrying water down Shoshone
street will be abandoned The object
ors present either declared themselves
satisfied or took the matter in its
new aspect under advisement The
protest as filed after setting forth the
understanding of the protestors, de-
clared that to put the paving over the
old pipe, would mean that continual
breaks would necessitate repeated
tearing up of the pavement with the
result that conditions would be un-
satisfactory and the cost so great as
to constitute the taking of private
property for public use without COM
pensation or due process of law
Whether any further steps will be
taken in regard to the protest, either
to push it on other grounds or to
withdraw it entirely is not known.
During the discussion it developed
that the cost of iron pipe has become
so high, on account of war demands
that it is virtually prohibitive and
that none can be obtained in less than
eight or nine months. Even allowing
for its shorter life, wooden pipe is
pronounced much cheaper and can be
obtained in one-third of the time, OF
less. This pipe will be largely usec
until the price of iron pipe gets lower
Pipe is now on hand for extensions
into the Golden Rule addition and fol
use during the cleaning Of the reser
voir.

SHFRIfF'S OFFICE SHOWS
BIG QUARTERLY INCREASE
Business During Last Three Months
Has Nearly TrebIed the Average
Income.

The amount of civil business pass
Jig through the office of the county
sheriff during the past three months
is nearly three times the average in
come, according to the statement and
statistics given out by Deputy Sherlff
Thompson Wednesday afternoon. The
amount for the last quarter was ST.
36959, and besides this 1925 was taxi
en- in for licenses. The Offices aver
age income from civil business is in
the neighborhood of $500. This in
CT ease is the more striking when it is
known that there are only two men
handling the business of the office,
whereas three were employed until
March 1. Sheriff Kendall and Deputy
Thompson have been rushed but not
swamped with the work, and feel very
greatly pleased with the showing
made.
During the last quarter there were
issued 80 warrants for arrest, So
criminal subpoenas, IL search war
rants and orders for contempt OF
court Besides the work entailed in
handling the above, the office has
made numerous Investigations and the
transient business has been much
heavier than usual. The cause for
the increase in business is said to be
due to the extra criminal work un-
dertaken by the county during this
period.

LEAGUE MEETING HELD
BY BASE BALL DIRECTORS
Finances of Clubs In Geod Shape and
Dividend Declared-Pass ResOlu-
item

A meeting of the directors of the
Southern Idaho baseball league was
held yesterday afternoon and matters
pertaining to the past and coming SER
les were discussed. Contrary to ex-
pectations no protests of a definite
nature were submitted relative to the
unfortunate occurance on the local
diamond on July 4, but to prevent any
recurrance of such a nature a resolu-
ton was unanimously passed to the
effect that anyone in future who
should be guilty of starting a row on
the field would be summarily and in
definitely dismissed from the league.
The clubs were found to be in good
financial condition, there being an ex-
cess in the league funds. Under the
present ruling 20 per cent. of the gate
receipts goes to the league fund and
the remainder is divided equally be-
tween the teams participating in the
games. A suggestion to lower the
per cent going to the league was dis
missed and instead it was decided to
declare a dividend. There were six
directors present, one from each club
the presiding officer being John Ma
C2uley.

Calamity Retrieve Lost Ground
and Now Hold Entire Possession
BOTH SIDES SUSTAIN VERY
HEAVY LOSS.
Army Of the Crown Prince Gains Foot
hold in the French Line at Chapelle-
Sainte-Desperate Battle Continues.

LONDON-Driven from a portion of
the Mametz woods on the Somme
frent by strong German attack last
night, the British today not only re-
trieved their lost ground, but tonight
are in possession of the entire wood.
Similar success attended the British
efforts in the Trones wood, where
they were likewise pressed back by
the German attack of last night. To-
Gay the Germans not only were forced
to give up the ground they had taken,
but were driven further back toward
the eastern edge of the wood
The French section of the Somme
front saw no activity, but their COM
rades at Verdun were compelled to
Withstand one of the most terrific at
tGcks yet aimed at their fortress.
Having reduced to ruins Fort Dou-
aumont and captured Fort Vaux, the
Germans today made massed assault
with $4,000 men and gained a foot
hold in the French line at Cahelle-
Sainte, at the intersection of the roads
leading to Verdun from Fleury and
Vaux. Six picked regiments were
thrown into the attack. The prelim-
mary bombardment started at day
break. 1t continued with exceptional
fury until 10 o'clock, when from the
village of Fleury and the Vaux anC
Chapitre woods solid masses of Ger
man infantry poured across the "nC
mans land" between the lines and fell
upon the French works.
Stubborn resistance was offered by
the French. The guns of the defend
ers inflicted huge losses" on the at
tacking columns, according to the Of
fetal report from Paris tonight.
The French statement asserts that
the Germans were able to gain "only
little ground at the Chapelle-
Sainte, but adds that the battle con
t;nues, the bombardment being very
violent in the whole of the region
from Fort Souville to La Laufee.
The attacks of the Germans against
Mort Homme Dead Mans hilD con.
tinue, but without success.
Launching of the German assaults
last night against the British and to-
day against the French followed the
arrival on the western front of heavy
reinforcements.
Both attacks were made apparent.
without regard to the loss of life en-
tailed for the report from Genera
Haig as well as the French war offic
statement states that the attacks wer
very costly.

STARTS LAST TRIP OPEN JURY PROBE
Attorneys Investigate Alleged
JObbing of Veniremen.
Members of Panel Knew Too
Little About Case.

St. Joseph, Oct. 26.-An inveStiga-
ton CT the venire drawn for the trial
of Oscar D. Mcdaniel, prosecuting at
torney of Buchanan county. who is
charged with the murder of his wife.
was gotten under way here today by
a commission of attorneys appointed
yesterday by Judge Thomas F. Ryan,
the trial judge, when he dismissed the
panel, declaring it has been influ-
enced by by newspaper interview
purporting to quote John t. Barker,
attorney general of Missouri and head
of the prosecution, as having said the
venire had been ''jobbed" against the
state.
Attorney General Barker was called
by the commission and asked about
the alleged statement He replied that
he and other states attorneys had
agreed to the belief that several
veniremen qualified with remarkable
rapidity and knew more about the
case than they pretended to know
Jurors Made for Case.
He reiterated his statement before
the court yesterday that he did not
wish to reflect upon Judge Ryan, un-
der whose supervision the panel was
drawn.
1T was a remarka BILE thing to me
that with a case read from coast to
coast men right here in Buchanan
county knew as little and had read as
little about it as a number of those
Veniremen purported to know"
The attorney general said: Several
of them answered my question as if
they were especially made for the case,
and it looked bad. They said they
had not heard the case discussed living
right here in st. Joe.
1T was the actions of the veniremen
who seemed to know so little about
the case. I thought and still think they
indicated a desire to serve and that
was the basis of my remarks
The commission after questioning
Mr.. Barker, examined the jury wheel
from which the names were drawn.
This afternoon it is planned to question
Judge Ryan.
The commission is headed by H. K.
