PASTOR RESCUES
CHILDREN AT FIRE
Leads Pupils from Burn
ing Church-Risks Life
for Altar Fittings

The Rev. Allen l.. Benner saved the
lives of more than a score of boys and
girls when St. Johns English Evangel-
ical Lutheran Church at Richmond Hill
caught fire yesterday afternoon. with
the children safely out of the build
ing, the pastor again risked his life TO
remove the valuable altar fittings.
The pastor was instructing members
of a confirmation class in the Sunday
school room when his ear caught the
ominous cracking of flames in the
church. Cautiously he opened door
leading into the auditorium, but was
driven back by burst of fame and a
cloud Of dense black smoke. The blaze
had apparently cut off the escape OF
those in the Sunday school room.
Found Way of Escape.
Shielding his face with his arms, DR..
Benner again opened the door and
dashed through the smoke and flames
until he could reach an exit. He threw
this door open, and the resulting draft
beat back the fire sufficiently for him
to regain the Sunday school room safe
". There he marshalled the boys and
girls in line, quickly quelling an in
cpient panic in which the youngsters
were preparing to jump from the win
dows.
As the last OF the children reached
the outside door, after fling calmly
through the smoke under the pastors
direction, with the heat of the flames
singing their hair and scorching their
skin, Dr. Benner turned and reentered
the church. The older lads sought to
restrain him in vain.
any place is here!" cried the minis
ter as he rushed back into the burning
building and struggled to drag the val
liable fittings from the altar to safety:
When fremen arrived and braved
the flames to enter the church they
found the pastor near the exit. almost
overcome by smoke. Defying the fire.
mems orders, he refused TO leave, and
at last they forcibly dragged him out
to safety.

$4,000 Window Smashed

In their efforts to get at the seat OF
the flames the firemen smashed through
a $4,000 stained glass memorial window
in the church. The building, which is
on Stotthoff Avenue, near Orchard. was
badly damaged. and the interior of the
church was ruined by fire, smoke and
water. The structure was erected eight
years ago at cost of $4,000. Much
of the money was donated by Charles
A. Schieren, former Mayor of Brooklyn.

SMITH ASSURED
OF DENOMINATION
CONGRESSIONAL BATTLE IN IDA
HO PRIMARIES HAS IT'S Pc
CULIAR ANGLES
Two From the North and Two From
South, Second Choice Votes
Don't Count

BOISE, Ida, Sept. 2.-(Special) -
Inc Idaho congressional campaign is
not without its peculiar character
two of the republican candidates COM
ing from the north and two from the
south, while in the democratic ranks
one candidate comes from the north
and one from the south eliminating a
primary battle in that party.
The republican candidates are Adj
olson T. Smith of Twin Falls and
R. M. McCracken of Boise, both pres
ent incumbents, while the north pre-
sents Burton L. French of Moscow
and E. E. Elliott of Boomers Ferry.
In republican party circles the view
is held that Smith will lead and take
one of the places, while it is not re-
garded as certain whether McCrac-
ken or French will be nominated for
the other place. McCracken has been
in the race with the advantage of
term in office which he is now filling,
but in view of French's known follow
ing and popularity in Idaho and his
ability as vote-getter, as demon
strated in past campaigns, leading
party workers look for a close race
between McCracken and French
The Boomers Ferry man has made all
extensive campaign and has many
friends in the state, but it is not be-
lieved he can land nomination. Sec
ond choice votes do not figure in the
primary by reason of
the fact that there are but two places
to fill.
The republican state ticket presents
/ contest in the primaries in every
office except one, that of Robert N.
Bell for state mine inspector. For
lieutenant governor, Captain L. V. |
Patch of Payette and B. NJ Holt of
Caldwell, both from Canyon county,
ire in the race with the chances favor
ng Captain Patch, who is now on the
1exican border with his company.
While it is conceded that George H.
Barker of Standpoint has the edge in
he race for secretary of state by vir-
lie of his being the present incumb- !
mt, the entrance of Erv Johnson of +,
boise in the primaries gave new an
lie to the contest. Johnson is known
II over south Idaho and has strong
blowing in the north. Chancey Wal
ace of Nezperce, not widely known
4 the state, is said to have been
rought out with a purpose OF de-
eating Johnson; and it is said will
ave strong following in the south
asst.
The republican primaries present

four candidates for state auditor. L.
L. Folsom, George w. Lewis, w. S.
Parkhurst and Melvin j. Barrows
Lewis is at present the chief deputy
auditor and is said to be practically
assured of the nomination. The con-
test is not great in the office of state
treasurer, the candidates being John
w. Eagleson of Boise, the present III
cumbent, and Fred E. Fisk of Parma.
Eagleson is expected to carry the
primaries because of his wide ac-
quaintance.
The republican contest for attor-
ney general has presented a problem,
but the dope artists about the state
are giving odds on Marlin J. Sweeley
of Twin Falls. Carlton Fox of Wal
lace may prove a factor in the race,
being the lone man from the north
and might possibly get away with the
nomination on second choice votes.
Charles A. Sunderlin of Burley and
Douglas G. Smith of Pocatello are
the other candidates
In the republican primaries for
state superintendent, Miss Catherine
T. Dryden of Moscow and Miss Ethel
E. Redfield of Lewiston are running
neck and neck for the nomination.
The democrats present but two
contests in the primaries Tuesday, the
office of lieutenant governor being one
of the coveted plums. Jas. H. Frazier
of Occur d'Alene and Ernest L.
Parker of Cottonwood are both SEX
ing the honor with Frazier perhaps
slightly better known about the state
than is Parker. The other is for sec
rotary of state, William T. Dougherty
and Joseph Houston being the nom
nees.

Reports From All Sections of tn,
State Indicate His Nomination
in Primaries

The local headquarters of Burton
L. French, republican primary candi-
date for congress, are optimistic over
the extremely bright prospects for
Mr.. French's nomination in the Tues
day primaries. Reports have been
received from many sections of the
state that Mr.. French's popularity has
not waned and that his friends are
counted by the hundreds, still loyal
to him and will give him an over
whelming majority in the primaries.
Burton L. French will be nomina-
ted by the republicans of Idaho for
congress on next Tuesday," said C. A.
Hagan vice chairman of the republic
an state committee. Mr.. Hagan has
been closely identified with Congress-
man Frenchs political fortunes for
many years, and is this year busily
engaged in trying to bring about Mr..
French's nomination.
1T is generally recognized through
out Idaho that the north is entitled
to one member of congress-" said Mr..
Hagan today. At the present both
senators and both congressman are
residents of the southern part of the
state. The south is willing to give the
north one member, and it is recognize
ed all over the state that Mr.. French
is far and away the stronger of the
two candidates from north Idaho. Mr.
French has served in congress for 10
years and is well acquainted with the
needs of the people of the state. He
has proven that he is one of the very
best vote getters in the state
1.-THE information that has come to
Mr.. French's headquarters from eve
ry section of the state clearly indi-
Gates that he will be nominated by a

Star-Mirror: The Moscow business
men show their patronage to the Mos
COW Contractors and Carpenter Union
by bringing in outside men to have
their work done What would the
business men of this city think of
the people of Moscow if they would
go outside to buy their goods and
supplies. This only shows a slight
feeling what the contractors of this
city think Of their merchants and
statesmen.
Why should the Moscow carpenter
work for less than their scale of
wages which is four to five dollars
for eight hours work? Because some
outsiders come in and take work so
cheap that they are cutting down the
mems wages and also throw in
cheap material This does not go to
show that the Moscow carpenters
should work for less than four dollars
a day.
Why has Moscow a chamber of
commerce to boost this little city and
encourage the Moscow contractors
and then let other men come in and
then have them take the work?
Mr.. Business men do you realize that
the Moscow building trade distributes
weekly in salaries approximately 25
to 80 dollars. What part do you bus
mess men help to spend with us. Why
do not the Moscow people stick to-
gether and patronize home industry
that would show friendship, loyalty,
and god will?

became still more obvious when Gen

The puzzling fact, recently obsery-
