The Council of National Defense, composed of cabinet officers, its civil ian advisory commission, and the gov ernment shipping board, were special targets for senatorial wrath, and President Wilson was sharply criti- cized. The council was charged with usurpation of authority and with un- lawfully delegating power to the advis- ory commission The shipping. board was assailed for alleged interference with private ship builders and for in sisting upon its wooden ship program. The President was attacked for alleged lack of cooperation and consultation with congress.
 Defense Council Curbed.
 The upshot was adoption of an amendment setting forth that the pow CTS of the Council of National Defense shall not be considered enlarged be cause of war conditions. 4t...
 Democratic Leader Martin consent ed to an executive session, suggested by Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, because the whole bill involved dis cussion of confidential military ques- tions. Five hours afterward the doors were opened because Republican sena- tors. including Lodge, Norris and Brandagee, suggested it was nor prop CT that such statements as lad been heard should be made without cogni- zance of the public and without au- thority for those attacked to offer de fense.
 Commission Attacked.
 Democratic esnators, it was said aft erward, began the discussion by criti- cizing certain acts of the advisory commission. Senator Reed, of Mis- souri. was said ro have been particular ly vehement Senator Lewis, Of llli- nois. vigorously condemned certain ac- tivities of the commission, especially regarding the letting of government contracts, and offered an amendment to the law creating the Defense Coun- cil to provide that hereafter men shall be appointed to the advisory commis- sion subject to the senate's confirma- tion.
 It was asserted that General Goe- thals opposed building of wooden ships, favoring steel, but had been compelled by the shipping toard to proceed with wooden construction.

are not entirely agreed as to the
boundaries of the new state, though
they are set forth tentatively in the
resolutions. The signers from the
south believe the lines should be
drawn farther north than they are. 1t
is expected that this difference of
opinion will be adjusted at the time
the resolutions come up for passage.
AS set forth in the resolutions the
boundaries of the proposed state are
as follows:
Commencing on the township line
between townships and 10, north
of the Boise line, where the same in
tersects the center of the channel of
Snake river; running thence east
along said township line as now sur
veyed and as it will be when eX-
tended where unsurveyed, to a point
where il intersects the division of the
water shed between the waters of the
Salmon river and the Snake river;
thence following the top of the divide
between the Salmon and Snake river
in an easterly direction to a poiAt
where same intersects the line be-
tween the states of Montana and Ida
no; thence following the boundary
line between said states in a north
westerly and north westerly direction
to a point where it intersects the
national boundary; thence west fol-
lowing the national boundary to the
boundary line between the states Nf
Idaho and Washington; thence in a
southerly direction following the
boundary line between the states Of
Idaho and Washington and Idaho and
Oregon to the point of beginning"
There has been no little rumor IN
connection with the joining of south
ern members of the legislature with
those from the north in the futher-
ance of this project, to the effect that
many trades" were in the air; the
most prominent of which has been the
one to the effect that the north will
support an attempt to remove the
state capitol from Boise to Pocatello.
There appears to be no grounds
whatever for any of these stories
The facts are that many members of
the legislature who reside in the
south are tired of seeing a continu-
ance of the present illogical arrange
ment of educational institutions in the
state, and with the forseen failure of
the resolution calling for the moving
of the state university to south Ida
no, were not particularly reluctant
to accept the challange of the north
ern members to unite with them to
make a state out of north Idaho.
If the attempt is successful a state
university will be established in south
Idaho, as well as an agricultural col
lege and large normal school. There
is no sentiment at ALL outside of the
Ada county delegation, to place an
other of the state institutions at
Boise, and while Boise would prob
ably retain what it has, it stands lit
tie chance of getting more. This is
said to explain the hostility of the
Ada county delegation to the pro-
posed division. 1t is generally con-

RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. S-The
American steamer Evelyn was fired
on last night by Brazilian warships
on account of a misunderstanding of
signals, but was undamaged The in
cident shows the strictness of the
neutrality watch that has been estab-
ished by this country and its dater-
mination to resist any violation of in
ternatiOnal law. 1t Is authoritatiVeiy
stated that the note of Brazil to Ger
many declares the summarizing IL k
ade to be Illegal and that Germany
will be held responsible for any Bra
lillian losses. 1t is learned that Ar
gentina has sent a note to Germany
expressing regret for the extreme
measures taken, but announces that
it will adhere strictly to information
al law" Apparently this means that
Argentina will maintain neutrality,
and if so, ends the proposed unity of
action of the South American repub-
lies, since it is less emphatic than
Brazil.
