GYMNASIUM LAST NIGHT BY
SCORE OF 80 TO Is

The University of Idaho basket ball
five took their second consecutive
game from the Montana quintet at the

missed only three out of II chances.
Gray and Sanderson of Montana,

tional institutions in Idaho are placed
under a new revenue system through
the reintroduction of an appropria-
tion bill in the house of representa-
tives yesterday. BY it all revenues

priation of $1,750,852 as compared
with $1,040,332 in the former bill, or an
increase of $710,520q

atoms is changed except to contain
therein items covering revenues of the

for maintenance, the Lewiston normal

LINCOLN DAY
BANQUET HELD
REPUBLICANS OF STATE "SEE
THINGS IN THE MIRROR" IN
CONCLAVE AT BOISE

BOISE, Feb. 15-Sharp criticism OF
the direct primary law which was held
as having as much to do with condi-
tions within the republican party as
amy ~orre thing else, reached a climax
at the annual Lincoln day banquet
Monday night at the Owyhee hotel
when Senator E. w. Whitcomb OF
Lemhi county charged that the party
and men in high places betrayed the
trust of the people. When he said
he could mention names and cries
came from several parts of the ban
quet hall that he do so, Senator Whit
comb declared that in face of the fact
the people wanted the law amended,
and a new law had been drafted, there
had been interference that stopped its
passage. Senator Borah was named
as one who had written a letter urg-
ing the legislative leaders to take no
action.
Many were in attendance at the an
nual republican conclave and held a
mirror before them and saw many
agreeable and disagreeable things.
Jess B. Hawley, president of the
Lincoln Day Banquet association, pre-
sided. There were 300 republicans
from all parts of the state around
the festive board.
Immediately following the speaking
Shad L. Hodgin of Boise was elected
president of the association for the en-
suing year over Colonel Spofford, by
The voting members present, so to a3.
The speakers of the evening were Ed

Makes Positive Charge

James w. Gerard, former United
States ambassad to Germany, is
sending to Washington an emphatic
warning that the Overseas News
Agency is being used to mould Amer
ica's public opinion. The official Ger
man press bureau colors Berlin dis
patches, and it can be stated posi-
lively that the German censor has re-
peatedly halted United Press and As
sociated Press messages, meanwhile
sending through the Overseas Agency
information directly contrary to the
correspondents dispatches.
Declares Facts Were Concealed
The censors concealed the fact that
Germany attempted to force Ambas-
sador Gerard to sign an agreement
guaranteeing German vessels safe con-
duct home from American ports in the
event of war The censorship also
colored the real developments with
holding the facts of the existence of
an anti-American propaganda, the de-
1ivering of anti-American speeches in
the reichstag, and the facts that prom
inent German leaders financed an
anti-American and anti-Gerard agita-
tion, while German statesmen asSailed
