asked for and was granted confer
ence by Governor Alexander. She
made a strong presentation of her hus-
bands case to the chief executive.
EMBEZZLED OWN ovERDRAFT.
The Lottridge case has a number of
interesting angles. The charge on
which he was convicted to serve a
term in the state penitentiary was vir-
tually the embeZZlement of his own
overdraft and Judge Carl A. Davis.
called in to sit on the supreme court
bench, so found in writing the de-
cision affirming the lower court. As
cashier he was charged with drawing
on the banks resources and the with
drawals were listed as overdrafts
When the books were checked he was
found to be short in his accounts.
JUDGE WHO SENTENCED, PLEADS
J. M. Stevens of Pocatello presented
Iottridge's case to the board. Mr.
Stevens is now engaged in private
practice. When Lottridge was tried
and convicted he sat as the trial Judge
In the district court and passed SEN
tence on him. Saturday he laid before
the board the grounds on which the
former bankers should in his opinion
be liberated. He held that the ends
of justice had been served by his i'm
prisonment and to hold Lottridge
longer in the penal institution would
not result in further protection to So
ciety.
After Lottridse was convicted an
appeal was taken to the supreme court
from the judgment. On March 6, 1916,
that tribunal handed down a decision
written by Justice William NJ. Nor

ANNUAL REPORT OF
PUBLIC LIBRARY

TO the Board of Trustees of
The st. Maries Public Library:
Ladies and Gentlemen: | here
with submit the Fourth Annual
Report of st. Maries Public Ii
brary, ending August 81, 1916.
The service rendered by the Ii
brary has increased. More and
more our people are coming to
see in the library not merely a
means of entertainment and
pleasure. but a very important
means of education and inspira-
Ftion.
As is natural for a new library,
the greatest need is books. The
reading public of ST Maries are
demanding more books, and more
useful books.
We have had various calls for
books on History, Biography,
Geography, Personal Hygiene,
Amusement, Entertaining, Play
ground Work, Agriculture, Manu-
facture, Mechanical Trades, Ar
;hitecture, Landscape Gardening,
etc. etc. The use of current
periodicals has increased.
Our library has felt the effects
Of increased use for school pur-
poses, and our only regret is mol
being able financially to meet the
increasing demands.
The present library building
has been out-grOwn, and it i:
only by constant crowding tina
we are able to carry on the wOrl
as it now is. So over-crowde,

NO DECISION IN
MILWAUKEE, TAX CASE

Attorney Ed. S. Elder has re-
ceived a letter from the clerk of
the United States district court
stating that Judge Dietrich has
been called east and that the de-
cision in the Milwaukee railroad
company tax case could not be
rendered until he returned. It is
thought it will be the latter part
of February before a decision can
be reached.

is the situation that even the
small floor space still available
must soon give room for addi-
tional book shelves. Less
cramped quarters and an ade-
uaqte book fund would enable the
library to develop its service
more in accord with what St.
Maries should demand. The Ii
brary should be thought Of as a
part of municipal service, and
also the school system. 1t is a
necessity, never a luxury-and is
real means of government.
Donations
This has been a year of book
donations, amounting to 1874
books, and an expression graft
lude is due to all who so kindly
contributed.
The Record and the Gazette are
thanked for their cordial support
and courtesy in giving of space
to book lists and library items.
Board
Rev. w. w. Webster resigned
his position in December, 1915,
as President of the library board.
Although he was on the board on
ly a few months, his loss was
keenly felt. Rev. Webster took
with him the unanimous good
wishes for success of service in
his new field.
Mrs. Jane Russell was elected
to fill the vacancy.
Travelling Library
During the year two cases of
books have been received from
the State Travelling Library, to-
falling 80 books. Not only have
the pupils of the schools prOtiteC

ljoyed the books also.

Great Enthusiasm Marks Signing of
New Constitution by Assembly
at Queretaro, Mex.

Queretaro, Mex, Feb. 1.-The dele
gates to the constitutional assembly,
which concluded its labors Tuesday
night, assembled at eleven O'Clock yes
terday and signed the constitution on
which they had been working for two
months. The ceremony was attended
by great enthusiasm. All the members
of the cabinet were present except
Luis Cabrera, minister of finance, and
Ygnacio 30 lillas, minister of fomentO
and communications.
The new constitution contains some
advanced legislation. Among its pro-
visions are:
Abolition of the office of vice presi-
dent, prohibition of the reelection of
a president, stringent and radical la
Dor laws, which provide for an eight
hour day, seven hours of night work
and six working days a week; COM
pulsory arbitration, profit-sharing, free
employment bureaus, antitrust laws,
a national department of health with
plenary powers, and compulsory mill
tary instruction.
Many of the articles are based on
the theory of =, eping Mexico f.. Mex
leans.
Under the new constitution, foreign
ers must renounce allegiance to the
countries whence they come to acquire
title to real estate, insofar as foreign
citizenship concerns such property
The land laws are stringent. They
provide for the cutting up of large es'
tates and the return of communal and
tribal lands.
The provisions regarding separation
of the church and state virtually mean
the taking over by the government OF
the entire property in Mexico of the
