WAR DEPARTMENT
SETTLES MATTER
REGULAR ARMY OFFICER TO
Be LIEUTENANT COLONEL
Of 20 IDAHO REGIMENT,

The war department at Washing
ton has settled the unpleasant con
troversy which arose over the ap
polntment by the governor of
former Adjutant General Crow tc
the position of lieutenant colonel OF
the Second Idaho regiment. Captain
William H. Waldron, of the Twenty.
ninth infantry of the U. S. army,
has been authorized to take the
Idaho commission. Colonel Edelblute
will remain as the regiments COM
mander.
1t has also been decided that when
he Idaho militia was mustered in
by an army officer, President VII
son became commander in chief.
General A. L. Mills, chief of the
militia division, says that under
this call and under present cond:-
tons, the governor of Idaho can fill
any vacancies that occur amcng Of
ficers of the Idaho regiment, but
he cannot dismiss officers who have
been mustered in. His entire author
ity over the Idaho regiment is now
confined to his right to fill va
cancies. He no longer commands
those troops.
The threat made by the governors
official organ that it might become
necessary for him to wipe out the
entire roster of officers and ap-
point new ones, seems to have
been just little bit too previous.
Now that the nasty muddle ap-
pears to have been settled in a
very satisfactory manner by the
war department, Governor Alexander
should compose his ruffled feathers
and endeayor to work-ia harmony
with the men who are going to the
front to do whatever real fighting
IS necessary to be done

PRIZES IN SPORTING EVENTS.

We are able to give only partial

of deciding the contests, &c record
being kept of the names of the win
'ners.

Kent received first money.

ley-Davidson machines. VIM. Bosch

and first in the mems race.

ing stunts of various kinds, to fill in
the afternoon and evening, including
the ball game between Ontario and

Those who mingled with the happy
throng that filled the streets Of Pay

there was nothing lacking in the
spirit of patriotism that prevailed.
The program of the day was car
ried out with no interruption or
delay of any kind. The parade was
one of the most attractive in the
matter of floats and decorations that
has ever been presented in Pay
ette. 1t reflected credit on the COM
mittee that had that feature of
the celebration in charge and upon
the hundreds of people who con-
tributed to its beauty and splendor
by the many hours of hard work
and the money expended upon its
preparation,
The procession was directed by
Mr.. Charles Brown, Jr., marshal OF

nished the music and between thirty
and forty handsome floats, beautifully
decorated automobiles, motorcycles,
bicycles and other vehicles, repre-
senting the business and manufactur-
ing interests of the city, together
with lively sprinkling of fantastic
features, formed a magnificent page
ant that passed in review before
the thousands of people who lined
the streets for many blocks.
Attorney General Joseph H. Peter
son, orator of the day, delivered a
splendid address full of the senti-
ment of oldfashioned Americanism
and true patriotism which called
forth frequent applause from the
large audience.
The exercises were held in
the beautiful High School park and
were highly interesting. They con-
sisted of first, selection by the
Payette band; solo, America, /

Declares Interference With Le-
Ultimate Commerce Should
Not Be Tolerated
tas.oeialed Pies. bY FEDERAL wireles,l


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct To-
Charles Evans Hughes is unalterably
opposed to the federation OF improper
interference with American shipping.
American property Of mails, or legiti-
mate commercial intercourse with
other nations, and he struck out with
out gloves at the administration last
night for what he declared has been
its attitude toward all these questions
in the past.
1t was the first Of HIS speeches on
bis third tour since the opening OF his
campaign, and he talked to an enor.
nous crowd that had flowed from all
over the city and the surrounding
towns to hear him. He was in good
voice and spoke clearly and distinctly.
Foreign Policy AssaiIed
He began by assailing the foreign
policy Of the administration both as
regards European nations and Mex
leo, aiming a broadside against the
stand taken by Mr. Wilson on the
Mexican question. He reiterated his
statements regarding the lack OF fire
arms on the part Of the president, and
attributed to this much of the diff
ficulty on the border.
He then outlined the Republican
party's platform. speaking particularly
OF planks therein dealing with the
question Of foreign and Mexican pol
Icy.
BelIiuerents Scored
In speaking OF the interference by.
the warning powers with American
mail and commerce. Mr.. Hughes said
SHOULD become President of the.
United States ] would be unalterably
opposed to any federation Of all I'm.
proper interference by any foreign
power with American mails or Ameri-
can property or the legitimate CON.
mercial intercourse between this and
other nations. which Is the basis upuE
which our commerce rests.
Furthermore. / do not believe that
this government can tolerate the
OF any American who is
his rights as an American
citizen to trade with whomsoeyer he
pleases."
Mr. Hughes refused absolHtely to-
discuss the activity Of the German
submarines off the Atlantic coast.
