islature will be discussed at tonight's
caucus.
One of the prominent Democratic
senators said today that he would not
venture a guess as to which of the two
toga wearer, George L. HILL or Perry
w. Mitchell would be elected presi-
dent pro tenn. "Ycu can say for me,
however" remarked this senator, that
all this talk about the Nugent and
anti-Nugent conflict is q pipe dream
and that there is not split among
Democratic members" 1t has been re-
ported that the two factions of Demo-
Gratis would divide over the selection
of majority whip" of the senate.
WHITCOMB AND JOHNSTON.
Senator Mitchell is on the ground
looking over the situation. II the
speakership goes to the southeast he
will probably be named president pro
tenn. If it goes to the north, Sen
ator Hill will become the floor leader
in the upper house Neither seemed
to be worrying very much over the
leadership.
The Republican senators expect to
caucus tonight. In all probability Sen
ator Z. w. Whitcomb of Lemhi coun-
" VIII pc named minority leader OF
the senate and Representative Peter
G. Johnston of Bingham county, mi
nority leader of the house. Senators
Rockwell of Blaine and Randall would
not refuse the minority leadership in
the senate nor would MCGOWAN re-
fuse 1t in the house, it is said.
A general Republican house eau
Gus has been called for the Owyhee
hotel tonight. The invitation was is
sued by the Republican members OF
Ada county delegation and the eau
Gus is to turn into a smoker. There
will be no attempt made to control it
along any one line but 1t will be al
lowed to drift probably some concert
ed minority policy.
David Burrell of American Falls
former chief clerk of the house, is in
the city prepared to open the house of
representatives Monday noon and Her
man H. Taylor, former lieutenant gov
ernor, is in the city from Standpoint
prepared to open the senate and turn

Importance of getting together, set
ting the presiding officer of the house
and president pro tenn of the senate
without bitterness and work for a gen
eral harmonious session of the legis-
lature.
B. Harvey Alfred Of Bingham county
began to loom up as speakership pos
sibility following numerous confer
ences of Democrats last night and to-
day. 1t was claimed by Allred's friends
that he will 90 into the caucus tonight
with at least 10 Of the IL Democratic
house votes in the southeast, and may
have all of them. In addition six
Democratic votes in the north are
counted for Alfred and one or two
scattering in the southern part of the
state. The Alfred supporters expect
to see him elected either on the first
or at least the second ballot.
TO CAUCUS TONIGHT.
The hackers of c. S. Moody, the
northern Idaho candidate. are making
similar claims. The former adjutant
general expects to have the support of
practically all of the northern Idaho
members as we'll as secure enough
possible. Representative Anderson
had not been openly active but his
friends have been working overtime in
his behalf. The race promises to be a
lively one until the first vote is taken
at the general caucus called for the
majority members at o'clock at the
Grand hotel tonight.
1t was said today that Representa-
tive Alfred had been urged to accept
the position of majority leader of the
house but has fatty refused to do SO,
declaring that he was in the race for
speaker. Some went SO far as to say
that the Democratic representative
from Bingham county declared that
he would not consider the floor lead
ership. The fact that representative
Alfred is well qualified 70 handle either
the speakership or floor leader makes
him a strong man with the majority.
HITCHCOCK MENTIONED.
II he Is not named speaker II Is
we'll known that Representative An
derson would not refuse the floor
leadership. He was floor leader of the
minority two years ago and with his
experience gained during that session
his friends say he would be able to
handle the house majority in excellent
form.
Beecher Hitchcock, representative
from Bonner county, was linked with
the floor leadership during the day.
He is well known Democrat of the
north and it Is said has the qualifi-
cations to handle the position. Rep
resentative Moody Of the same county
Is also looked upon as excellent mate
rial for the position. The fact that
three of the representatives named are
candidates for speaker has brought
about peculiar situation.
SENATORS ACTIVE.
A general caucus of Democratic SEN
ators has also been called for o'clock
tonight at the Grand hotel. To this
caucus state officials and Democrats
interested in the party's welfare have
been invited. The matter Of president
pro tenn will not be settled at that time
owing to the fact all of the senators
have not arrived. A caucus will be
held tomorrow afternoon or evening to
decide this question. Party policies and

ONE OF STARR BANDITS
Once Outlaw, Became Salvation Army
Captain-Dies From Asphyxiation.

Enid, Okla, Dec. 2O.-The late Capt.
L. S. (Lee) Starr, of the Salvation
Army who was asphyxiated by gas
fumes in a rooming house here last
Thursday night, was the last surviv-
ing member of the famous Starr gang
of outlaws that once terrorized east
ern Oklahoma and northern Texas.
This became known last night, when
a co-worker, to whom Captain Starr
told the story of his life, revealed the
past history of the dead Salvation
Army man.
Lee Starr was convicted several
years ago in Kansas, following many
of the escapades of the famous Starr
gang. which are well known to all
newspaper readers. The Starr gang
was one of the most desperate the
United States marshals ever had to
deal with.
After his conversion Lee Starr went
to Louisiana and Texas, and was en-
gagged in Salvation Army work when
he killed one man and wounded an
other in fight in Corsicana, Texas.
For this he was acquitted and con-
tinued the work of saving lost souls

SCHOOLS COST MORE
Topeka Is Paying $4,000 Over Ex-
pense of Maintenance in 1916.

Along with all the other commodi-
ties, the cost of education has scared
to such an extent that it costs the
city SIS, 600 more to impart learning
to the children of the city this year
than it did in 1916. OF course this
increase includes the IS month
bonus allowed the teachers at the be-
erous school board. There are three
hundred teachers in the employ of the
city at this time and their monthly
dole ranges from $55 a month, the
minimum wage in the grade schools,
to $133.33, the maximum wage in the
high school. In the aggregate this
payment comes to $29,435 each month
of the school year.
Among the items listed on the pay
roll of NJ. c. Holman, clerk of the
school board. is a list of II pensions
years of their lives to the education
of the youth of Topeka. Each month
this item alone amounts to $524.37,
or $4767 to each pensioner. Part of
this expense is covered by the teach
ers themselves, who paid in to the
board one per cent of their salaries
turnout the thirty years of service. If
a teacher resigns from the service be-
fore she becomes eligible for pension,
so per cent of the amount she has
paid in to the pension fund is re-
turned.
Those on the pension LIST after
thirty years of service are:

bach, Margaret Mitchell, Sue Steven
son, Jennie NJ. Sturgis, Jane T Gle

Hungary is not allied to the German
race in any way. The Teutonic influ-
ences in the Austro- Hungarian empire
were frequently denounced by Hun
garians previous to the present war.
The action of the Budapest municipal
ity in demanding the separation of
Hungarian foreign affairs and mill
tary, naval and financial matters from
Austria is. for all practical purposes,
an anti-German move. 1t will cause
great disquiet in Berlin. If Hungary
maintains this hostile attitude there
can be no pan-German expansion thru
southeastern Europe. The fact that
the action of the Budapest municipal
ity was unanimous in the face of war
time alliances, is strong evidence that
the anti-German movement has be-
come permanent in Hungary. The
Hungarians, who are strongly demo-
cratic, are undoubtedly beginning to
realize that their own liberties would
be endangered by a pan-German vic
tory. Once they secure full control of
their own foreign office and their war
making powers. the Hungarians will
not allow themselves to be the tools
of the Hohenzollerns. The kaiser's in
