exact duplicate of the one that passed
the house earlier in the session and

CONFIDENT OF PASSAGE.
Senator Bradbury ~ confident that
the bill will be passed by the senate,
and In that event the likelihood Of it's
passing the house IS very PROMISING II

"Thc measure IL an exact duplicate
of the house bill that body passed"
said Senator Bradbury. Il believe that
II will pass the senate. At least a
record vote on 1t will be taken. ] am
satisfied that undue Influence was
brought to bear on the other bill by
appealing 10 tho patriotism of tho
members when we were all under great
excitement and strain over the posi-.
bilities Of being embroiled In the Euro
pean war. The law is a necessity. We
are merely seeking TO enact the same
law that was stricken from the statute
books four years ago"
HEARING OPENS WEDNESDAY.
The hearing into tn charge of Inn
proper lobbying to defeat the former
anti-alien law in which +. NJ Booth q
Twin Falls attorney Is involved, is
expected to open tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Booth will either be in Boise to-
night or tomorrow morning. AS many
of the senators desire to hear the ovi-
dence the senate will probably recess
shortly after opening the morning SEES
sion, and the judiciary committee will
then take up the examination of wit
nesses at an open hearing to be held
in the senate chambers. Those who
filed affidavits involving Booth, in
Guiding w. +. Craig. and others, have
been subpoenaed to appear before the
committee.
The senate expects to show, II moth
ing else, that a lobby was maintained
to bring about the defeat of the bill
and that pressure had been brought to
bear from Boise on the state depart
ment at Washington to defeat the bill
and not from Washington. outside of
that 1t does not seem clear Just what
else will b. proven.

too fine a day for labor, declare.
Beside a babbling brook in COM
fort I'll recline, and read helpful
book, and make its message
mine. The reapers reap their
grain, the farmers bale their hay !;
and work, no doubt, seems sane
to people built that way. But
better is a dream than any kind
of toll; so by the babbling stream
I'll read UP Whist on hoyle." l
heard the sluggard say, when age
had made him blue, "All through
the weary day l wander fro and
to; some little job l ask, how
ever small the wagey most any
kind of task, to help me in old
age. But for my plea and groan
no sympathy is felt; the hearts
OF men are stone, and granite will
not melt" Whene'er | see a
youth who wastes his golden
years Id like to push some
truth into his foolish ears. Age
is the time to rest beside a bab-
bling brook, white whiskers on
your chest. and in your hands

dears. to cut a goodly swath, and

Accepts Other Challenges.

In the meantime Houdini has ac-
copied other challenges, one being for
tomorrow night from the packers and
shippers of s. kann. Sons & Co.
They informed Houdini that during his
last engagement at keiths he sue
ceeded in escaping from a packing box
constructed by them, but he had in
sisted on having the box sent to the
theater twenty -four hours ahead of the
time for the test. They say they believe
they have discovered his method, and
are inclined to think that the box must
have been prepared for Houdinis
escape after it left their custody.
They add:
ITO refute this and to satisfy our
doubts in the matter, will you allow us
to take to Keiths Theater Wednesday
night heavy timber, nails. rope. etc.
and on the stage. in full view of the
audience construct a strong packing
case or chest which you must enter inn
mediateIy. We will nail down the lid
| rope up the box. and defy you to escape
| without demolishing the case"
