WILL PREDOMINANT
Councilman Finegan Prom
Uses to Have the Crossings
and Walks Kept Clean for
the Crowds Which Will
Be Out to See Show.

The stage is all set for the opening
Of the Boise spring fashion show at s
o'clock tonight. The curtains will drop
from the windows of more than a dozen
stores revealing to the public the spring
fashions Of 1917. They are said to
differ materially from those of 1915
American goods and American styles
will predominant, but there will also
be a considerable amount of foreign
garments displayed.
This year the stores have dropped the
living models, the music and the SOU
venir idea and will give all their time
to the showing of goods and of making
the visitors welcome. The next three
days the statesmen and saleswomen in
the Boise stores will devote their time
to showing the 1917 line of goods. The
public Is welcome in all the stores to
inspect goods and styles and ask ques-
tions.
TO KEEP CROSSINGS CLEAN.
Councilman Finegan is taking quite
an interest in the fashion show-not
particularly the displays, but is seeing
that the walks and crossings in the
business district clean and dry as pos
sible for the crowds which will be on
hand to gaze at the window decora-
tions. Mr.. Finegan's interest in the
show Is to see that those who attend
are not bothered with bad crossings and
walks.
While not even peep at the win
dows could be obtained as an inspira-
ton for story, the window trimmers
at the different stores give assurances
that the decorations this year exceed
anything ever before shown in Boise.
For nearly a week the decorators have
been busy in arranging the windows for
the show and much expense and time
has been given to make them attractive.

JAPANESE MISSION
 AT NEWPORT SUNDAY
Did Homage at the Grave of Commo-
 dore Matthew GaIbraith Perry.

Newport. R. l., Sept, Sept. 16.-The Japanese mission to the United States came here today to do homage at the grave of Commodore Matthew Gal braith Perry, who opened the door of the island empire to the influences of western civilization sixty years ago.
 The mission. headed by Viscount Ishii, entered the cemetery through a lane of apprentice seamen and naval reserves at present arms. while a band from the training station play ed the Japanese national hymn. A great crowd of sailors, soldiers and civilians barred their heads in silence as Viscount Ishii stepped forth and placed on the tomb of the commo- dore a large wreath made up in the co1ors of Japan, with white lilies and red gladiolas.
 Retiring a few paces the viscount bowed profoundly before the tomb and resumed his place in the seni-cir- c1e formed by other members of the mission and naval officers. One by one each member of the mission step ped forward silently and bowed low before the grave. As the last one paid his tribute, Bishop James De Wolf Perry, of the Episcopal diocese of Rhode Island, offered a brief pray CT. Then the entire assembly stood at attention while the band once more played the Japanese national anthem and the Star Spangled Banner.
 The ceremony was simple and inn pressive. The only address was by Bishop Perry. It was given when the mission had filed by the spot where the commodore lies buried.

STATEMENT BY FOREIGN
 MINISTER OF ARGENTINA
Says Expulsion of Count Luxburg Has
 Not Closed the Incident.

Buenos Aires, Sept. 16.-Foreign Minister Pueyrredon informed the As sociated Press today that he is satis- fled that the expulsion of Count Lux burg, the German minister to Argen- tina, has not closed the incident growing out of the telegrams the min- ister sent to Berlin through the Swed- ish legation here. The minister said he would not grant the request of the senate to explain the situation at se- cret session tomorrow, as the govrn- ment thinks it would be imprudent to discuss the matter as it now stands.
 The minister explained also that he discussed the recent German negotia- tions at a supposedly secret session of the senate and that Count Luxburg cabled his remarks to Berlin a few days later.
 Minister Pueyrredon declared that the Argentine government intends to act energetically, but not preciptateIy upholding the honor of the republic and to close the present incident favorably
 The Argentine government has sent cablegrams to Dr. Luis B. Molina, the minister at Berlin, concerning the ne- gotiations but no official response has yet been received. The foreign min ister believes the delay is due to diff faculties of transmission. Argentine has received no request from Ger many for a safe conduct for Count Luxburg.

MEMBERS OF SAN FRANCISCO
 TRADES COUNCIL
FOR A WAGE INCREASE
Men Are Employed Mainly on Gov ernment hipbuiIding-UnabIe to Ar the Issue.

San Francisco, Calif., Sept 1e.- Twenty -four thousand members of the San Francisco Iron Trades Council employed mainly on government ship building contracts, it was announced tonight, will strike tomorrow for an increase in wages. The strike call re- suited from the failure of series of conferences today between the lead CTS of the workmen and the representa- B. tives of the employers to arrive at a satisfactory. settlement of the issue.
 A final attempt to prevent the strike was made at meeting proposed by James l.. AclAerson, representing the federal shipping board.
 Mir. Ackerson suggested that a set clement might be arranged through conferences with government officials conducting similar negotiations with the Seattle shipbuilding strike and that the strike be postponed pending the outcome of these conferences.
 Postponement Impossible.
 R. w. Burton, president of the iron trades council, said a postponement of the ordered walkout was impossi- bIe.
 Announced plans for the strike call upon all men t oreport for work as usual and at nine o'clock to walk out if no agreement has been reached. oBth sides said tonight the promulgation of a new agreement was impossible be- fore that time.
 The working agreement of unions affiliated with the Iron Trades Council expired last night. The men demand a minimum .-age of $6 day, an ad- vance of fifty per cent.

PRESIDENT WILSON HAS
 RETURNED TO WASHINGTON
He and Mrs. Wilson Were Given .
 Hearty Greeting.

Washington, Sept. 16-President Wilson returned to Washington from New York by train tonight, ending the longest stay away from his desk since last fall when Germany was observing her submarine pledges. He and Mrs. Wilson were given a hearty greeting by crowd gathered at the station.
 There had been no announcement concerning the presidents movements since yesterday and in view of uncon- irmed reports of submarines off the coast the possibility that he might re- turn on the yacht Mayfower was dis cussed by the public here with no lit tie apprehension. It was even sug- gested that a wireless message from a spy telling of the presidents cruise on the Mayf1ower might have reached a U-boat in the Atlantic and brought here in to the coast in search of big ger game than merchant ships.

 ican Steamship.

An Atlantic Port, Sept. 16-The de- fective mechanism of a German tor pedo discharged by an invisible sub marine is said to have prevented dis aster to a large American steamship which arrived here today from a Brit ish port.
 According to several of the one hundred passengers on board the liner, a submarine attack was made on the steamship the second day out, shortly after il a. nj. The wake of the torpedo was observed by 1ookouts and an i'm mediately sharp change in course of the steamer was ordered by the cap tain. The torpedo when about 100 yards away from the steamer. sudden ly leaped from the water and, on re- turning to the water, headed in a new direction which carried it past the stern of the vessel by twenty yards.
 No submarine was sighted, but the liner fired one shot from a stern gun at an object which might have been a .periscope. There were no indica- tions that this shot was effective and the liner increased her speed and hur- ried away.
