MAKE CHANGE IN
DIVORCE LAWS

Boise, Idaho, Feb. Idaho
will probably cease to become the
Mecca for divorce seekers from
the east, and Boise will lose its
reputation as a second Reno, for
the house Of representatives to-
day passed the Moody bill, re-
quiring residence of one year
here before suit for divorce can
be instituted, instead Of but six
months, as is now the case. The
senate is understood to be in
frame of mind favorable to the
bill, and it is claimed the govern
.or will sign il. The passage of
this measure and resumption of
the debate in the senate on the
repeal Of the public utilities com
mission law stand out as the in
toresting developments in legis-
lative procedure.
Majority Leader Moody of Bon
ner county championed the di-
vorce residence bill. In speak
ing on the measure he said he re-
GREETED the house was not packed
with ladies to hear his speech.
Seriously, however, he said Idaho
has gained an unsavory reputa-
ton as a divorce state, and that
the time had come to bring about
a change.
He asserted that after viewing
the Divorces in the colony at
Boise travelling about in limou-
sines, dressed in the heigth of
fashion, conspicuous by the few
clothes the women had on and the
poodle dogs in their laps, he had
come to the conclusion longer
residence of those seeking to Sc
yer the holy bonds of matrimony
would do a great deal of good.
Many of the attorneys in the
house attacked the bill, but in
spite Of the opposition it passed
by a vote of 46 to II.

fsessor for the second and
Rhird quarters of the present ns-
cal year, unless the board of
commissioners reverses its or

Judge John M. Flynn of the dis
trict court Saturday. Judge
Flynn refused Mr. Wonnacott's
motion to vacate the order of the
commissioners, thereby making
lit necessary for him to take his
case into civil suit.
The commissioners held up
Mr.. Wonnacotcs salary on the
ground that certain sums had

In the case of Settlers vs.. Set

When the criminal calendar
was called a number of motions.
were interposed. Frank Myers,
when arraigned on the charge of
having intoxicating liquor in his
possession, moved, through his
attorney, H. R. Taylor, that the
information be quashed on the
ground that the information had
been filed in the district court
without giving the defendant
preliminary hearing. The court
sustained the motion and ordered
the defendant discharged and al
so ordered that a cash bond which
had been put up be returned to
him. o. j. White, who had been
held to answer to the district
court on the same charge, was
discharged without trial for lack
of evidence but it was made a
condition, which he accepted, that
he leave the state.
In the case of Alphonso Alexis,
an Indian held on the same
charge, a motion was made at
tacking the jurisdiction of the
court On the ground that as the
alleged offense was committed
on the Indian reservation, the
United States government alone
had jurisdiction. The judge
denied the motion after taking it
under advisement. R. B. Norris
represented the defendant.
When the case of Angelo Gloria
who was charged with being a
persistent violatOr<Of the liquor
laws was reached, w. d. Keeton,
who had been appointed by the

uuash the information on the
ground that the defendant had
never been given a preliminary
examination for any crime other
than a misdemeanor while the in
formation charged a felony. At
ter taking the case under advise

ton, holding that the prohibition
law makes the conviction for {

Angelo Gloria, Convicted For Second Time,
Escapes With Only Jail Sentence

the jury reported thursday.
After consulting with her at
torney she decided TO plead guilty
and the judge sentenced her to
pay fine of $4,000 and to serve
80 days in the county Jail. AS
there is no place here where she
can be kept she will be taken to
Occur d'Alene to serve her sem
tence.
The case of Angelo Gloria,
charged with being a persistent
violator of the prohibition law,
was tried in the district court
yesterday before a jury. Con-
siderable trouble was experienced
in securing a jury the regular
panel being exhausted and
special venire issued AS Sher-
iff holland was one of the States
Witnesses he was ineligible to
draw the special venire and DR..
O. d. Platt, as coroner, drew it.
Gloria was arrested a short
time ago with a suit case full of
liquor in his possession, which
he was Bringing into the city.
This was proved by the prosecu-
ton. He was convicted in the
district court Of this county about
year ago for having liquor in
his possession unlawfully and
served a term in the county Jail.
In order to prove that he was a
persistent violator of the prohi-
bition law, Prosecuting Attorney
Holsclaw offered the record Of
this conviction in evidence and il
was received but he failed to Of
fer any evidence to show that
the defendant was the same man
convicted at that time.
When he rested his case the
defendant also rested and Mr..
Keeton made a motion that the
question of whether the defend
ant had been previously convict
ed be taken from the jury on the
| ground that there was no evil
dence showing that the defendant
was the man convicted. The
court granted the motion and un-
der his instructions the only YER
dict the jury could bring in was
to find the defendant guilty of
| illegal possession of liquor, which
it did.
This offence is only a misde-
meanor and is punishable only by
fine and confinement in the
county Jail, while if the prison
er had been found guilty of per-
sistently violating the prohibi-
tion law the lightest sentence he
could have received would have
been one year in the state peni-
tentiary. Judge Flynn gave the
defendant as severe a sentence
as he could under the circum-
stances, fning him $4,000 anC

CHICKENS UP
 OVER YEAR AGO
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE MAY VET HAVE CHICKEN INSTEAD OF CANNED BEEF FOR THEIR
 DAILY NATIONS.

There is no truth in the statement attributed to chicken fanciers that the price of feed has advanced out of proportion to the advance in chick ems" asserts Ed Myers, of the Good win & Jean Go.
 "A comparison of prices shows that at this time last year we were paying 12 cents per dozen for eggs and get ting all we could handle. This year we are paying 20 cents for eggs and the supply is about the same as last year. At this time in 1916 we were hens. Our present price is 15 cents. Last year at this time We were pay ing 16 1-2 cents per pound for spring chickens. We now pay F cents. We now pay nine cents for roosters, against seven cents last year, and IS cents for turkeys of the same grade that We purchased in the summer of 1916 for E cents. Ducks that we now pay 12 cents a pound for were bought at this time last year for 10 cents. Last year we paid IT cents for but ter and this year we pay 25. That does not look as though poultry has not advanced. I take these prices from our daily records, and all are taken from today, one year ago"
 MT. Myers is firm believer that the American army in France will soon be eating Arkansas spring chick CT, it being part of the army ration on account of it's cheapness.
 '"There are thousands of tons of chickens in storage that can be bought much cheaper than the beef now being supplied the army" states Mr. Myers, and the government is not going to miss this chance. Someone is going to buy it, and the govern ment is taking front rank in all sales now. It is just as easy to send the stored chicken to the front as it is fresh beef"

MARKET MARKS
 TIME THIS WEEK
CROP REPORTS HAVE THEIR EFF FEcT UPON MARKET, AND PRICES TAKE ONE WEEK
 WITHOUT GOING UP.

Whether il was the continued rains that have started three blades where only one grew before, or the fact that SO many have gone on their vacations, makes little difference, for the market during the past week has played dead. It has eaten out of the hand Of the consumer and prices have either re- mained as they were, or dropped triAe.
 The picnic season is at it's height and bananas are slumping. This is un- usual. and evidently the law Of sun- ply and demand is not working, un- less there is an endless supply. The editor of the Trade Record had occa- sion during the week to attend country picnic, and although many tempting things were offered. nothing went with such ease and grace as did the huge punches of bananas which hung above the stand It evidently was not in good taste to take bux- om young maiden to the stand for a. treat, and walk away without bd- ranas. Some went so far as to pur4 chase bananas and go to the wagon of others to stand around and tanEa- lize. It was afl good advertising for. the stand, however, for the neglected ones soon found the beaten trail and were among the happy throng of ba- mana consumers Rains do not inter- fere with country picnics, and as long as there are picnics. bananas will be the national fruit.
 Chickens. and eggs advanced a bit during the week, aud the prospects are that August will be far better month for poultry than il has been for some time.

 Our exports to China last year, he says, reached their lowest ebb at $2, 100000. He thinks that the future in China is full of promise, however, and it is only necessary for our exporters to find better classes of cotton goods and a higher quality of prints and col ored fabrics quickly to start toward q full tide of success.
 Since I returned to this country, said MT Odell, q find a number of cotton exporters in New York and San Francisco are getting inquiries from China and are already supplying more goods than in the past. One req son for these inquiries is because the supply of Russian prints has been shut off. Just as soon as our exporters find out what the Chinese really want, I think the business will adjust it. self"
