A Notable Event, Finely Carried Out,
Which Twin Falls Would Have Gen.
orally Attended Could They Have
Known of 1t.
: ~We pledge allegiance to our
flag and to the Republic for
which it stands. One Nation,
indivisible, with Liberty and
Justice for ALL"

1t was certainly an inspiring sight
when the nearly five hundred pupils
of our high school, attended by the
entire faculty, at one o'clock this af-
ternoon marched out of the building
in two ranks and surrounded the fine
Steel flag-pole which the board has
recently erected in the center of the
school house front lawn. 1t was still
more inspiring when a magnificent
new flag slowly rose to the seventy
foot peak and was greeted by those
fresh young voices giving in unison
the Salute" quoted above.
The high school principal, Mr. Dow
man, as master of ceremonies, called
for "The Star Spangled Banner" in
which, led by the high school
band those voices again Joined. con
amore Mr.. bowman then introduced
Rev. Join Hollowell Dickinson, Rec
tor of the Episcopal parish at Po-
catello, who made one of the most
splendid and patriotic ten-minute adj
dresses to which it has been our good
fortune to listen. The speaker said,
in part and in substance:
you young people may well be
proud of your magnificent school
building and facilities, for never have
seen in cities large or small-any-
where-finer or more creditable ones.
You will never know nor can you ever
fully appreciate how splendid and
glorious is your lot in a country of
freedom and of free schools.
"And by the same token you are
now assembled beneath the grandest
flag that the world knows. See il
swing-to the south, to the north, tc
the east and to the west-showing nc
discord or division in forty-eight great
states-one in thought, one in heart
and one in spirit
"As citizens of this great republic
you have an inheritance of freedom
that is free indeed. A country whose
/ flag never goes into a conflict fol
greed or gain; that goes only to pro
tect the weak and to follow the spirit
of that early American whose voice
comes ringing down the decades
Give me liberty or give me deathl
This spirit in its exemplification con
stitutes our proudest and most valu

So now that we have again beer

PLEADS GUILTY OF
BRUTAL TREATMENT
Rudolph Gammeter Admits That II
Used Violent Methods With Hi
Step Daughter.

Rudolph Gammeter entered a plea Of
guilty today on the charge of violently
beating his step-daughter, Eleanor
Menziner, yesterday.
Gammeter was charged by the
twelve year old %irl with having beat
her violently Sunday and then leav-
ing her locked outside the house with
out anything to eat except bread and
water 1t was also alleged that he
combed her hair yesterday morning
and jabbed the comb against the back
of her neck so violently that a large
mark resulted. The mark was plain
ly visible last evening, the officer said.
The girl said that last year at Haz-
elton, her step-father struck her with
his fist, leaving a permanent scar on
her face, and that previously in Salt
Lake City he struck her with poker
so hard that her back was permanent
ly injured. Neighbors told Probation
Officer Ormsby that Gammeter was a
brute. He is also charged with beat
ing his wife.
When arraigned today, Gammeter
said that he had not intended to do
wrong to the girl. He claimed that
she had pilfered little things and that
he wanted to stop her and also want
ed to stop her from telling lies. Spe-
officially, he said the girl had been
charged by neighbor with stealing q
comb, and admitted taking it. Proba-
tion Officer Ormsbv said that the girl
declared to him that she had not stol-
en- the comb, but had confessed that
she had for the purpose of escaping g
whipping.
Her mother declared that she made
similar statement to her after be
ing whipped. He asked to be let off
saying that he would go into the coun-
try and work hard, reporting regular
ly and that he never again would lay
hand on the child. He denied the
poker incident hut was silent, wheT
asked about whipping his wife. II,
was fined 800 and costs, paying par
and going out to work for the rest
Probation Officer Ormsby took the
little girl In charge yesterday anC
stated that he would not let her re
turn to her home while Gammeter was
allowed to live there.

SENATE WILL TRY TO REINSTATE
ROOSEVELT PLAN
Thought Likely That This VIII Fail
Ages at From Twenty-One to Thirty
Years-Fall Volunteer Cavalry Plan
Was Not Accepted.
UNITED Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 1O-Eliminat-
ing the Roosevelt division amendment
from the selective service bill, the
house and senate conferees reached
an agreement this afternoon and will
report to their respective houses as
quickly as the findings can be put in
to shape. The conferees eliminated
the Fall amendment providing for the
raising of a volunteer cavalry force
for border duty
The prohibition amendment as it
passed the senate was left in the bill
and the age of those subject to con-
scription fixed at from twenty-one to
thirty years, inclusive.
1t is considered certain that the
senate will endeavor to restore the
Roosevelt amendment, but since the
conferees agreed to its elimination
and the administration and the gener-
al staff do not want it, it is not be-
lieved that it can be passed. 1t is
regarded as likely that within the
next three months, the half million
men required will be selected.

LITTLE LIGHT ON
SALMON DECISION
Brief Account In Boise Paper Does
Not Clear Situation and Both Sides
In Dark Here.

Nothing definite is known here con-
cerning the exact terms of the de-
cision of the United States Circuit
court on the case appealed from the
federal district court by the Twin
Falls Salmon River Land & Water
company fifteen months ago. The
Boise Statesman said yesterday that
it was informed by the Boise attorneys
for the company that the decision OF
Judge Dietrich had been reversed and
that the circuit court had now render
ed decision sustaining the contention
of the company, and that the cause had
been remanded with directions to the
lower court to modify it's decree and
to proceed in accordance with the de-
cision of the appellate court
c. o. Longley, attorney for the set
tiers, said this morning that he had
received no information which would
enable him to state what the court had
ruled. The office of the company at
Hollister stated today that the infor-
nation received there was even more
condensed than that contained in the
Statesman and that they would prob
ably not have definite information
until the last of the week.
