OPERATOR ACQUITTED
 OF FASTENING N

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Henry L. Linder, a former Postal Telegraph company operator, was acquitted to- day in general sessions by direction of Judge Wadhams of charge upon which he was indicted in 1914, of re- vealing the contents of a telegraphic dispatch. Linder was arrested in the office of the Globe, New York even ing newspaper, where he was assigned by the Postal Telegraph company to handle a private wire. He was &C., cused of having "listened in" on a news dispatch from the Associated Press and it was contended that he immediately transmitted this dispatch over a private wire to the office of the New York News Bureau.
 In ordering Linder's acquittal, Judge Wadhams explained to the jury that the section of the penal law under which he was indicted had not been violated, as Linder was not an employe of the Globe, nor of the As sociated Press, nor in the confidence of either, and, therefore, was not amenable to the section under which he had been indicted.

A FANTASY

If you were a white rose Columbine And I were a Harlequin, I'd leap and sway on my spangled hips And blow you a kiss with my finger
 tips To woo smile to your petal lips At every glittering spin. If were a pig-tailed Buccaneer And you were Bristol Girl, A-rolling home from over the sea, I'd give you hug on the landing quay, A hook-nosed parrot that swore like
 me,
 And a brooch of mother-o'-pearl. If you were a Donna of old Castile And a Troubadour were I, I'd sing at night beneath your room And weave you dreams in a minstrels
 loom With rainbow tears and the roses
 bloom
 And star shine out of the sky. If I were a powdered Exquisite And you were a fair Bellairs, I'd press your hand in the gay pavane And whisper under your painted fan As I bowed you into your blue sedan At the old Assembly stairs. If you were a Vatican Shepherdess And were a gypsy lad, I'd teach you tunes that the blackbird
 trills And show you the dance of the daf-
 fodils, And white moon rising over the hills, And Night in her jewels clad. If you were the Queen of Make-Be-
 lieve
 And were Prince O Dream, We'd dress the world in a rich TO-
 nance With Pans a-piping and Queens that
 dance, With plume and mantle and rapier
 glance
 And Beauty's eye a-gleam. If I were a Poet, sweet my own, And you were my Lady true, I'd hymn your praise by night and
 morn With golden notes through a silver
 horn That unborn men in an age unborn Might glow with dream of youI

COLONIZATION OF EAST GREENLAND Is
 AIM OF THE DANES

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 30. The Danish Greenland society, which includes the prominent Danish Arctic explorers, intends to launch a plan for the colonization of uninhabit- ed East Greenland. West Greenland will soon be Over-pOpulated, Danish North Greenland already is well peo- pied, while in East Greenland the con- ditions are considered good for sup porting a larger population of Eski- mos.
 Denmark previously has only had nominal possession of the country, and other nations will hardly recognize her supremacy until a Danish station has been established, the Danish flag raised and Danish inhabitants settled.
 The announcement of Danish plans to extend colonization in Greenland is of some particular interest to the United States because this country may still claim ownership of vast tracts of that arctic land through dis coveries which American explorers have made. In negotiatings still pend ing between this country and Den mark over the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States for S25,- 100000, one condition to the sale is the relinquishing by this country of all it's rights in Greenland. The land discovered by Americans is mainly along the northernmost coast, how ever, in a region so deeply covered with snow and ice that it is doubtful that it ever can be considered of eco homie value.

Testing Prosecuting
Attorneys Rights

The right of county attorneys
to collect $25 fees for foreclOsing
tax liens before district courts
as costs was argued and pre-
scented to the supreme court yes
terday. The issue came up in
the form of an application made
by Raymond L. Owens, prosecut-
ing attorney for Ada county, for
a writ of mandate to compel the
commissioners of that county to
pay him such a fee for legal SER
vices performed for the county re-
corder. Every county in the state
is interested in the outcome of
the litigation.
In his application on file with
the supreme court as presented
to that body and used in the ar
gument he says, THE question
is whether or not prosecuting at
torneys for the various county
recorders in the foreclosure Of
tax liens before the district courts
under the terms and provisions Of
the 1913 revenue act are entitled
to receive, personally the $25 at
torney fees authorized as costs in
said statutes to be assessed
againt the defedant property"
The objection OF reason as
signed denying the right of the
prosecuting attorneys to thus re-
ceive the fee is found in section
i8 Of article five of the cOnstitu-
ton of the state of Idaho which
authorizes the election of prose-
cutting attorneys and deals with
the salary which may be allowed.
Prosecuting Attorney Owens
pointed out in his argument the
duties of the prosecuting attOr-
neys of the state increase after
every session of the legislature
owing to the new statutes enact
ed. In 1909 these statutes add
ed 26 new crimes and as many
new duties for the prosecuting at
torney to perform. In 1914, 20
were added; in 1913, fl and in
1915, 80.
Three reasons are assigned by
the prosecutor why the fees
should be allowed. They are:
First-Becaus IL is not sal
airy nor an increase of salary
paid by the county raised by tax
alton, nor charge against the
taxpayer OF citizens of the COM
munity, but that it is cost paiC
by the defendant in the individual
action charged as a cost on the
particular case and not money de-
rived from or coming from The
general revenue of the county.
Second-That the additional
work required Of prosecuting at
torneys in bringing these suit
was not contemplated at the tim
The record. [volume] (St. Maries, Idaho) 1913-1918, 1916-05-23

when salary was fixed, as to the
maximum by the constitution, and
that therefore the constitutional
inhibition does not apply to the
distribution of this fee.
Third-That it is work which
the prosecuting attorney is COM
PEELED to do but which is outside
of and beyond the ordinary usual
scope of his duties either as to
bringing of civil actions for the
county or advising with any coun-
ty officer in connection with a
matter in which the public in in
tcrested or concerned.

mirrors that from position under
the water an observer can see what is
going on on the surface, provided, Of
course, the 'eye" of the periscope is
