PREMIER SOCIAL
Event OF SEASON

Mosque, With Legislative
Visitors Conspicuous =
Dazzling Gowns Make
Gala Scene.

The Charity ball, the premier social
event of the season, came into view
last evening with dash and sparkle,
and Il spirit Of gala enthusiasm that
was fairly Intoxicating. Perhaps 1t
was the presence of the many lovely
women and gallant men who are the
guests of Boise which gave the yearly
function Its unusual brilliancy.
Similar affairs have certainly beer
very gay in past years. but last night
the Mosque was taxed with the fash
ionable throng which filled every part
'of the big ball room, the mems recep-
ton hall and the spacious supper room.
A rainbow tinted garden of color flash
ing with opalescent and irridescent ef-
fects in ornamentation and relieved
with rich black and Jet, formed a be-
wildering array of dress in which
beautiful women were even fairer than
usual.
MANY LOOKED ON.
The line OF spectators was 30 deep
that it was not easy to secure a full
view of the grand march. which was
escorted by Lieutenant John Regain
and Martin Merle and led by Governor
and Mrs. Alexander, followed by Mayor
and Mrs. Hays, Attorney General and
Mrs. Walters, President of the Asso-
| ciated Charities John r.. Nugent and
Mrs. Nugent, Secretary Of State and
Mrs Dougherty and other state Off
Gals with members Of the legislature
] and their wives and the citizens of the
capital city.
The decorations in the ball room
were Christmas greens, forming a rich
setting for the dainty ball gowns. Dag
gets full orchestra screened with
Christmas trees, played spirited airs
which kept even the spectators in tune
with the dancing.
FLAG FAvoRs SOLD.
! A bevy Of pretty girls in charming
party frocks sold favors, tiny flags
of all nations, from beribboned and be-
lowered trays to swell the fund for
Sweet charity" Punch was served
from a prettily decorated table. and
downstairs an appetizing supper was
enjoyed, with congenal groups of
friends gathered here and there in the
big banquet hall Here the decora-
tons were Christmas trees Win the
glowing red Of candles and CHI istmas
bells, and tables graced with silver
and carnations.
| Every detail was perfect, the evening
was glorious. even though col ;. and
the annual charity ball of Boise went
into history as the most successful
benefit ball yet given Mrs. Cobb. the
chairman of the committee, had not
yet received her reports, but felt that
in every particular the ball was u most
decided success.

Germany cannot be expected to respect
treaty obligations. Mr.. Balfour says:
TREATIES NOT ENOUGH.
80 long as Germany remains the
Germany which, without a shadow of
Justification, overran and barbarously
ILL., treated a country 1t was pledged to
defend. no state can regard its rights
as secure II they have no better pro-
lection than a solemn treaty"
Asserting that Belgium was not Ger
many's only victim. the note recites
the "reign Of terror attendant upon
Germany's method Of warfare, and
adds:
THE war staffs of the central pow
ers are well content to horrify the
world II at the same time they can
terrorize It," The people of Great
Britain. Mr.. Balfour says, share Presl-
dent Wilson's desire for peace, but do
not believe 1t can be durable unless
based on the success of the allied
cause.
MUST CHECK AGGRESSION.
Such a peace, 1t is urged, cannot be
expected unless these three conditions
are fulfilled: Existing causes of in
ternational unrest shall be as far as
possible removed or weakened; the ag-
gressive aims and the INSCRIPTIONS
methods Of the central powers should
fall into disrepute among their own
peoples; and, finally, that behind in
ternational law and behind all treaty
arrangements for preventing or limit
ing hostillties some form of interna-
tional sanction should be devised which
| would give pause to tho hardest ag-
gressor.
ut is recognized that these condi-
lions may be difficult Of fulfillment
but the belief is expressed that they
are in general harmony with Presi-
dent Wilson's ideas" The note de-
clares confidence that so far as Eu-
rope is concerned none of the condi-
lions can be satisfied, even imperfect
| ly, unless peace is secured on the gem
eral lines indicated by the allies joint
note.
NOTE UNEXPECTED.
| Great Britain's note was entirely
unexpected to officials here. but was
gratifying because they interpreted II
as step toward the world federation
to preserve peace which President
Wilson, both In his speeches and In
his peace note. has pledged the United
States.
Great Britain justifIes her continu-
ance Of hostilities. 1t was pointed out
not only for the immediate objects OF
the war, but also on the necessity that
behind international law and behind
all treaty arrangements for preventing
or limiting hostilities. some form OF
international sanction should be de-
vised which would give pause to the
hardest aggressor."
1t is just some such arrangement, II
was pointed out. which President VIII
son has been urging. and which is ex-
pected to cause wider disagreement In
American foreign policy than any
other question raised in the country's
history. Great Britain's answer was
interpreted as her official acceptance
and Endorsement of the presidents

who killed eight or nine persons by poi
son. He murdered a number Of women
for their insurance, but later, 1t was
believed, he killed a number Of men for
the pleasure Of killing. Schuettler sent
him to the penitentiary, where he died.
The Cronin murder, perhaps Chi
cago's most famous crime, came in
1888. DR.. Cronin was lured by false
sick call from his rooms and murdered
in a cottage at Ashland avenue and
Roscoe street. His body was found in
a manhole. The spot was uninhabitcd
prairie then. Schuettler did some Of his
best detective work in chasing down
Dr. Cronin's murderers.
LUETGERT CASE SOLVED.
The Luetgert case, almost as cele-
brated as the Cronin murder, was
solved chiefly through the instrument
tality of Schuettler. 1t was his evil
dence that fastened wife murder on
the old German sausage maker and
sent him TO prison. where he died.
Schuettler tracked down the car barn
bandits. He obtained {. confession
from Gustav Marx and which led TO
the arrest of the others-Peter Nieder-
meier, Harvey Van Dine and Otto
Rieske. Niedermeier. Van Dine and
Marx were hanged. Rieske was sent
to Joliet for life. He went crazy q
few weeks ago and was removed to the
hospital for insane criminals at Chester.
