LEVER COTTON BILL
TO HELP PRODUCER
South Carolina Congressman's Plan
to Lessen Confusion in Spot
Deals.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Establishment
of uniform standards of classical
ton for cotton by the Secretary OF
Agriculture and the enforcement of
such standards would be provided for
by the Lever bill, passed without op-
position today by the House.
The primary purpose of the bill is
to enforce uniform application of Of
fetal standards in spot transactions.
Failure to use such standards in many
markets now leads to confusion and
loss to producers, Representative Lev
er told the House.
General use of recognized STAFF
dards, it was argued, would not |nly
brong more money to the producer, but
also insure the purchaser against sub
stitution Of a lower grade cotton than
he had contracted for.

CHRIST IN AMERICA"
SPLENDIDLY RENDERED

The lovely and instructive pageant,
Christ in America" which was re-
peated at the Lutheran Church Of the
Redeemer on last Sunday evening,
drew another large audience to see it.
The elaborate program was again
perfectly carried out, to the thorough
enjoyment of all present, and was,
as We said in the brief mention Tu-
esday, good from start to finish, be-
ginning and ending each with one Of
the most beautiful solos to the ac-
compartment of some of the grand
est pipe organ music ever heard in
this city. The first solo was by Miss
Kitty Mayes, the other by Mrs. J.
o. Wilson, with Mrs E. B. Settler at
the organ.
Miss Teresa Maybin took tie part
of Columbia and made brilliant gem
of it. She was assisted by dazzling
array of other young ladies, all of
whom gracefully and effectively sus-
tanned their roles. The various coun-
tries were represented in order as
follows: China, Miss Julia Kioler;
Japan, Miss Nancy Fox; Hungary,
Miss Lillian KILLER; Poland, Miss
Leila Dennis; Italy, Miss Rosalyn
Hipp; Assyria, Miss Mary Klettner;
: Judea, Miss Ruby Goggans; the In
dians, Miss Carolyn Caldwell; Tur-
key, Miss Kate Summer; Persia, Miss
Sudie Dennis; teacher of Negroes,
Miss Sadie Bowers; Armenia, Miss
Sara Halfacre;; Korea, Miss Julia
Lake; Alaska, Miss Helen Summer;
Mountain Folk, Miss Marguerite
Spearman.
The Christian Church was repre-
sented by Miss Lila Summer.
The flag bearers were Myrtle Pay
singer and Haskell Kibler.
Mrs. ]. o. Wilson. Mrs. C. B. Spinks,
Miss Carolyn Cromer and Miss Kittie
Mayes formed the chorus.
Cali the children of the world were
represented by the following twelve
little girls: Pauline Klettner, Benet-
ia Bushardt, Mildred Perry. Gladys
Suber. Jessie Earhardt. Mildred Pay
singer, Florence Kibler. Elizabeth
Harms. Mary Alice Hipp, Helen Davis,
Pauline Boozer and Gladys HaYird.
The lesson of the truths as portray
ed by the great production was con-
vincinglv conveyed to the audience,
and each Of the participants seemed
especially fitted for her task. Rev.
Mr.. Fulenwider. the successful pas
tor of the church. has cause to be
happy in the realization that it is in
his congregation to execute so grand
a spectacle as the pageant of Sunday
evening: in which. as on all occa-
sions, their magnificent pipe organ
plays ali important and inspiring
part.
The ladies having the entertainment
in charge as we'll as those under
them. we'll deserve the sincere con-
gratulations of pleased public.

NO CHARGED WITH
KILLING WOMAN
In Affidavit Cox Declares Killing Was
an Accident-Accused Bolton
Men.
News and Courier.

News ana courier.
Greenville, Jan. 3.-A true bill
charging murder was returned III
Court of General Sessions today
against J. R. Cox and c. C. Willing
nam, well-to-do young gusiness men
of Belton, who are held in connection
with the death of Lois Howard, the
nineteeen-year-old girl who was slain
on Christmas eve night in the Cen
trail Hotel in this city.
Judge Mendel L. Smith heard two
motions of the attorneys representing
the accused Belton men. The first
that the case be continued until the
March term of court was granted
Judge Smith explaining that he would
grant the continuance on the ground
that Senator Proctor A. Bonham, and
Representative Oscar K. Mauldin, who
have been retained to assist in the
prosecution, will be in Columbia at
tending the sessions of the General
Assembly.
= Will Again Ask Bail.
Judge Smith averruled the motion
for bail, but gave the attorneys the
right to renew their application be-
fore him or any other judge, upon ad-
ditional testimony. The defense, ad-
vancing the theory that the death OF
the girl was case of accidental shoot
ing, will renew the application for
bail on Saturday. Some Of the most
prominent citizens of Belton have Of
fered to sign any reasonable bond that
the court may decide to grant the
young men.
In an affidavit which was submitted
to the court in the bail proceedings,
Cox declared that the girl came to
his room in the hotel without his
knowledge. He claims that the girl
whirled him around while he was then
half asleep. He says his grip upon
the pistol must have contracted when
he was showed against the wall and
the pistol was discharged. but that il
was an involuntary act upon his part
Declares it Was Accident.
"That he Immediately exclaimed to
his friend, Willingham, that it was an
accident. and that he would not have
done it fo> anything in the world.
is the concluding statement OF Cox's
afhdavit.
This affidavit. which was obtained
today. is the first and only explana-
ton that Cox has made Of the shoot
ing. There were no other eve wit
neses. so far as known. as Willing
ham. who was in the room at the
time. swears that he was asleep. Cir
cnmstantial evidence, it is stated, will
figure largely in the trial.

Appreciate Work the Mayor
Has Done in Behalf Of
Boise and Pledge Their
Support to His Candidacy.
STATEMENT MADE
TO BOISE VOTERS
Reasons Given for Action in
Working for the Re-elec-
ton of Mayor-Appre-
ciate Good Work He Has
Done.

Boise real estate dealers appreciate
the good work done by Mayor Hays to
stimulate business in Boise and his eff
forts by which southern Idaho has been
successfully advertised in the east
through which quite a number of set
tiers have already been brought to the
Boise valley. To show their apprecia-
ton Of his valuable service a majority
of the dealers are giving him their sup
port and havs set out the following
reasons for advocating that he be re-
turned for another term:
To the Voters of Boise: We, the
undersigned residents and taxpayers of
Boise, are in favor of the reelection Of
Hon. s. H. Hays as mayor of Boise, and
assign, among others, the following
reasons therefor:
ca Immediately upon assuming the
duties Of mayor, he originated and
perfected a plan whereby the attention
Of those seeking new locations from
the middle west would be Immediately
directed to the I~sources and POSSIBLE
tiles of the farm lands in this vicinity.
Greatly due to his efforts, quarter of
a million dollars Of farm property has
been sold in country tributary to Boise
since January l, and this notwithstand-
ing the fact that the campaign is only
well under way.
(b) He conceived and made operative
an organization for the purpose Of deal
ing sanely with economic and social
questions. Due to the efforts of this
association, Boise is accruing much IA
vorable advertising as against the I'M
desired notoriety it received but short
time ago.
(c) He stands for the interest of the
people of the city at large and no act Of
his shows this more plainly than the
position he took in the summer of 1915
when the fire insurance companies at
tempted to raise the rates on fire in
surance in Boise. At that time he
joined with the insurance agents in
written protests and public meetings
against such raise because unjusti-
fed and warranted, and was successful
In maintaining low rates.
SYSTEM OF PARKS.
(d) He believes in a system of public
parks as being one of the best means
for promoting the health and happiness
of children and comfort of their par
ents. To this end he has assisted in
securing, maintaining and identifying
parks within the city limits.
(e) Through system of law enforce
ment without unnecessary publicity,
our city ordinances have been strictly
enforced without unnecessary or I'M
justified public comment thereon. IN
our Judgment this course is much pre-
ferable to that Of heralding the mis-
takes or crimes of law violators,
through the public press. Every city
has moral questions with which it must
deal, but the results accomplished and

PLAN TO RETAIN PARK.

The Columbian club, with it's accus-
toned vigor and alertness where the
interests of the city beautiful, espe-
cially when these interests refer to
women and children, has already taken
up the question of securing a new
leave on Columbia park. At the time
of going into session at 2:S0 this af-
ternoon, no definite plan had been out
lined, but the president Mrs. McClear,
felt 1t would be in line with the work
of the club to discuss the matter and
possibly decide upon some plan of ac-
ton. The other clubs and women's
organizations of different kinds will
probably take the same course Public
spirited citizens will follow with finau-
cial aid, it is hoped, and the lease be
renewed.

not the means employed are the things
in which the people generally are in
terested.
70 Mayor Hays has enforced our or
dinances against immortality and
against violation OF liquor laws, but in
doing so has not given these enforce
ments widespread publicity. To have
done so would have resulted in no good,
and in many cases a positive injury.
(g) He believes that in the matter
Of paving, particular streets should be
paved from the city limits to the bus
mess districts, and these only with
such frequency as will furnish a paved
streets for the main arteries OF traf-
fic. This greatly reduces the cost of
paving but furnishes a hard surfaced
street for the accommodation of traf-
fic.
FIRE LOSSES REDUCED.
(h) Through a thorough investiga-
ton of fire losses, the number OF in
cendiary fires has been greatly re-
duced. The effect of such a system
has already been shown in the reduced
fire losses in Boise.
We have briefly mentioned the mat
tiers above enumerated but these con-
stitute only a partial list Of the many
things done by Mayor Hays in the in
terest of Boise and vicinity. 1t is i'm
possible to accomplish all he has
planned within the short time he has
been mayor, and it is only just to him
and in the best interest Of the city at
large that he be e-elected and given
time to perfect and accomplish the
plans he has in mind.
