Boise, Feb. 12.-Memorial SER
vices in respect to the the mem

cupied the attention of the Idaho
legislature today, the house of
representatives meeting in mem
orial session in which solemn
tribute was paid to the nation 8

victim of an assassin's bullet.
The senate was not in session,
having adjourned over to Tues
day.
The introduction of a general
appropriation bill for the state
charitable and penal institutions,
and the decision Of the state af-
fairs committee of the house to
follow the same course as the
state affairs committee of the
senate in relation to the northern
Idaho division measure-to send
the resolution to the committee of
the whole without recommenda-
ton for general debate and prob
able action-were the other in
teresting DEVELOPMENTS of the

tions constitutional convention
authorized to be held in the city
of Moscow in June, for the pur-
pose of drafting a constitution to
be submitted to the electors in
the territory proposed to be in
c.uded in the new state for rati-
fication. The state affairs com-
mittees in both houses decided
That the merits of the division
plan could best be threshAd out
on the floor rather than in COM
mittee and for that reason no at
tempt was made to either recon-
mend the resolutions for passage
or that they do not pass.
AS described in the resolutions,
the territory to be included in the
proposed state contains Adams
and Washington counties. OBJ
lection is raised to this and an
attempt will be made to revise
the boundary lines in the COM
mittee of the whole house by TAX
ing both counties out, leaving
but the ten counties in the north
in the proposed new state. The
leaders in the state division plan
still claim they can hold all the
signers to the resolution in line,
and if so the resolutions will be
passed. Those opposed to divi-
sion declare that on the final vote
the resolutions will be defeated
in the two houses. They look up
on the reporting of the resolu-
tions by the state affairs COM
mittee with out recommendation
as a victory.
The appropriation bills intro
duced in the house makes the
following appropriations:
Soldiers Home, maintenance
$90,56O, Improvements $2,46O;
Blackfoot asylum, maintenance
$116, 250, improvements $21, 75O;

$122, $40, improvements $17, 800;
children's homes, Lewiston and

sistant instructors $500. The
latter appropriation is to be divid-
ed between the two homes as
equitably as desired. The ap-
preparation for a feeble minded
school at Nampa provides for its
completion, so that the feeble
