BOISE, Feb. S.-(Special.) = The
fight over state division LOOMS larger
than ever since the presentation of a
plan yesterday to divide the state into
three sections, and every train brings
in lobbyists who have come to take
sides in the contest. Support for or
against the several plans which are
rumored is not to be estimated at
present.
The senate spent most of the day
yesterday discussing the bill to re-
peal the public utilities law, intro
duced by Cummings of Bannock coun-
ty, whose charges yesterday that the
commission was practically useless
were answered by Senator Rockwell
who stated fatty that Cummings was
not posted nor were his arguments
sound as to why the commission
should be abolished. He quoted at
length figures to show that thousands
of dollars had been saved to shippers
IN the matter of freight rates alone.

FOUNDERS DAY
TO BE OBSERVED

Elaborate plans are being made for
the observance of Founders Day at
the University of Idaho on June 8, the
25th anniversary of the founding of
the institution. The exercises this year
are to be particularly complimentary
to Jay Rand Sanburn, who was repre-
sentative from Shoshone and Kootenai
counties at the time the matter of es-
tablishing a university came before
the university, and to whom is credited
some very efficient work in securing
the passage of the bill establishing
the University of Idaho at Moscow"
in January, 1889, on the very day when
the time limit expired and the task
seemed hopelessly impossible in the
face of the more pressing important
matters of the day"

Submarines have sunk many mer-
chantmen without warning and the

when Americans are not involved
Whether the sinking of the British
passenger liner California by a tor
pedo yesterday will prove to be the
ovart act to drive the United States
into war no one has ventured to say.
The president will undoubtedly wait
for complete reports on the disaster
before determining whether the time
has come for him to go to congress to
ask authority ito use any means that
may be necessary for the protection
of cur seamen and our people"

OPPOSITION
 TO HERTLINC
 DEVELOPING Kaiser'S Choice for Chan CeIIor Not Endorsed by the ReichStag
 Leaders.
CRISIS SEEMS IMMINENT
Claimed That War Party Making Desperate at- tempt to Dominate
 Situation.

LONDON, Nov. l. - Reichstag leaders refuse to endorse the selec- tion by the Kaiser and war party of George von Hertling, former Prime Minister of Bavaria, as I'm perial Chancellor to succeed Dr. Mi chaelis, who has been made Prime Minister of Prussia.
 The opposition of von Hertling to democratic parliamentary sys- tenn and to the Reichstag's resolu- tion for peace without annexation, according to Amsterdam dispatches received here, has aroused active antagonism on the part of those opposed to the war policies of the Prussian military leaders.
 The dispatches from Amsterdam apparently were written before an- nouncement was made yesterday from Berlin that Hertling has been given the place and was consulting with the leaders of the Reichstag.
 Amsterdam advices say the effort to make Hertling Chancellor is the most bold stroke since the begin ming of the war for the military party thoroughly to dominate the situation and ride down any fur ther opposition on the part of the Reichstag members opposed to the military.
 It is believed here that insist ence on the appointment of the Bavarian' lord as Chancellor will bring to a head the long threatened crisis of internal affairs
 The fact that German military of- ficers have been shot by mutineers and owing to many assertions from the ranks of the Germans, without wholesale executions of the guilty, indicate that the war party is los ing control and must make some such bold stroke as the appointment of Hertling to carry forward its rigid military propaganda.

STEAMER AL-KI GOES ASHORE
 IN SNOWSTORM

The steamer Al-Ki which sailed southbound from Juneau by way ot Hoonah and Sitka late last night, is ashore at Point Augusta, on Chi chagoff Island, and sent out SOS. calls for help. The call was caught by the local naval radio at 2:13 o'clock this afternoon. No details of the accident have been received It is thought probable that the steamer struck during the heavy snow storm which is raging while bound from Hoonah to Sitka.
 LATER The Al-Ki struck during 2 heavy northwest gale and thick snow storm. At the time she was under slow bell and struck easily She is not leaking as yet She struck at the top of extreme high tide and soundings taken show one and half fathoms of water under the stern and two and a half fath- oms under the bow. The Al-Ki is pumping her cargo of oil over the side endeavoring to tighten the ship. Thirty-four passengers are on the vessel, but they are safe and the life boats have been put over the side where they are ready for instant use.
 The cable ship Burnside, which has been lying in the stream for the past several days received the word and at once started for the scene to render what assistance possible.
