ing before the house rules commit
| tee, declared Count ]. H. Won Bern
storff, German ambassador to the
United States, had profited to the OK
tent of $2,000,000 through advance in

lluctantly. He said he would hum
| iliate himself" and plead with the
committee for permission to reveal
other names privately. Frank A
Vanderlip, president of the National

perjurer," was the statement with
which Thomas w. Lawson challeng-
ed Chairman Henry of the

son referred DO Henry's denial of
his charge made yesterday afternoon,
that the chairman had named a cab
met member in conversation with
him as involved In the stock specula-
tions resulting from the alleged leak
of information on the peace note.
On the stand Lawson asserted that
he had met John Cosgrove, editor of
the Sunday World; Herman Ridge
way, editor of Everybody's magazine,
and Donald Mcdonald a Boston finan-
cial writer shortly after his conversa-
tion with Henry and told all of them
of what Henry had said concerning

fit to be outside of prison

rison demanding that j. P. Morgan be

u SUB=POSTOFFICE
WRITES ASSISTANT POSTMASTER
GENERAL URGING STATION AT
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO

In a letter addressed to the first
assistant postmaster general at
Washington, d. c., Postmaster f. E.
Cornwall advises the establishment
of the proposed sub-postoffice at the
University of Idaho, which the. Star
Mirror announced last week was un-
der consideration by the postoffice de-
partment. His letter reads as fol-
lows:
I'm reply to your letter of 18th ult.,
in relation to establishing sub
station at the University of Idaho, /
have the honor to report as follows;
Il believe it would be a great bene-
fit to the officials and faculty of the
university to have a station estab-
lished in the administration building
of that institution, and l heartily rec
ommend that one be so established.
81 have letter from the bursar of
the university saying that he believed
that contract plan was not at all
adaptable to their conditions. | am
in full accord with the bursar in this
matter and can hardly recommend a
contract station,
please allow me to suggest that a
station be established at the uniVer-
sity of Idaho on the same plan as the
one now in operation at the Washing
ton State College at Pullman, Wash
This plan would allow an experience
ed man from this office to take charge
of the station, giving to the university
people much better service than
could possibly be expected from one
who has had no experience in the
service In case of a contract plan
| do not know of one person that has
had any experience in the service that
would put in bid for the position.
have asked all of the employees OF this
office if they would bid in case a con-
tract was let None would, 50 in my
opinion contract station under the
would give this office
all kinds of trouble as well as a poor
service to the university people
"In case a station should be estab-
ished as | have suggested, | have
every reason to believe that the uni
iersity would furnish all equipment,
provide the necessary room, lights and
uel and transport the mail between
he university and this office free OF
,harge to the department.

DECLARES DUMMY ENTRIES

Senator Evans of Power County Asks Legislature to
MemoriaIize Congress to Make Land Law Inac-
tive in Idaho

BOISE, Jan. 16-The direct charge
LEGISLATURE here in memorial to con-
gress introduced by Senator Evans OF
Power county that dummy entrymen
have been used in this and other
states to secure filings under the $40
acre homestead act and requesting
that classification of the lands in Ida
no be suspended, and so far as this
state is concerned the terms of the
act be made imperative, because it
removes valuable ranges into a sheep
and cattlemens monopoly to the de-
trimeRt of the small farmer.
Refuse to Pay Coffin
Another feature of the days ses-
sion was the refusal of the house OF
representatives to pay the celebrated
claim of T. C. Coffin, former assistant
attorneygeneral, for legal services
and expenses in prosecuting the suit
instituted by the state against the
National Surety company, surety on
O. v. Allen, defaulting state treasur-
er's 100000 bond The house split
along party lines and the democratic
majority Indefinitely postponed the
claim.
Attorney Cohm claimed in his COM
munication to the legislature that the
state depository board had sought to
work a fraud on him by Offering to
pay him $3.50 for his services and he
had no reason to expect a square deal
from that body. Neither, he said, |
was he working for charity.
Bills introduced in the house by |
Daughters, Bailey, Smith and Kiger
ask for redistricting of counties, plac- |
ing Benewah and Bonner in the first |
class and Teton and Gem in the third |
class. The same representatives, with |
MCGOWAN, introduced a measure seek |
ing to make taxes payable the same |
year the assessment is made. Lewis, |
Kent and Kiger fathered a bill regard |
ing the exercise of eminent domain to-
ward railroads.
Elect Commissioners by Districts
Kiger and MCGOWAN are the authors
of measure providing for the election
of commissioners by districts instead
of at large. Lewis, Daughters and
Kiger introduced a bill repeating the
road poll tax law.
Valley and Bull county division
bills were introduced. The former
seeks to create a county out of the
southern portion of Idaho county and
the northern portion of Boise county |
with Cascade as the county seat The
Buhl county bill names Buhl as the ;
county seat of the east end of Twin :
Falls county
