Extremely LIGHT.

Fort Worth, Tex, Dec. 16.-Fort
Worth and Tarrant County voted dry

Candy Was Strongly Poisoned"
Finds Acid in Flour" Ground Glass
In Salmon" scream the headlines Of
newspapers. The analysis OF an 0ftic-
ial state chemist substantiates at least
one of the charges; the word Of prom
inent citizens the others. Is 1t not time
Idaho firmly grasped the situation,
search out and punished In no unmis-
taxable manner those who are guilty
of such dastardly acts? Are there men
or women within our state who will
stoop to such low levels as to duplicate
the inhuman acts of the kaisers hire
lings? Can any community afford to
harbor those who would drop candy
containing strychnine for little chill
dren to innocently pick up and eat?
Is there room within this state for the
person who would place carb0lic acid
in flour? Nothing should be left I'M
done to establish the truth or untruth
of such charges. Ii they be found
true, and the guilty can be apprehend-
ed, justice should be sure and certain
in its dealings with them. Let the
numbering of women and children be
the glory alone of the German Enemy.

partment The value of the products
of all iron and steel industries In the
United States in 1914 was 5000, 000, 600,
or less than one third of the amount
| to be expended by the ordnance de-
partment. or this gigantic sum the
ordnance department has already plac-
ed contracts amounting to $1,677, 000,-
900. On April 1, 1917 this department
had 81 officers; now 1t has 1904 Offic-
ers. For the quartermaster's depart
ment $3,01S,ODO,OOO was appropriated,
sum four times as great as the 1915
appropriation for all government ex-
penses. April /, 1917, there were BAT
officers with this department; now
there are 6,43l. On JAN l, 1918, near
ly $1,000 00O,OOO of the appropriation
had been obligated by contracts or
disbursements. In the wooden goods
section alone the cooperation of over
300 mills was involved, and the follow
ing items give some idea of the extern
siye character of the operations: There
have been purchased over 100000
blankets, 20,0D0000 yards of overcoat-
ing and over 30,O0O,000 yards each of
shirting flannel and suiting, involving
an expenditure of $345, 100000. In cot
ton goods the department had contract
ed for 250,0D0,00O yards of various
cotton cloths. Further idea of the size
of purchases will be conveyed by the
following figures; winter undergar-
ments, 46,000,O00 pairs; wooden gloves,
100000; wool lightweight stockings,
31,0OO,000; wool heavy weight stock
ings, 21,000,000; shoes 20,0OO,0O0 pairs.
The aviation section of the signal corps
on April /, 1917, consisted of IS offic-
ers; on Jan. 1, 1918, 1t had $500 offic-
ers. This division of the war depart
ment is charged with the expenditure
of $744,000,0O0 in 1918, or five times
the 1915 appropriation for the war de-
partment
Americanization Of Aliens.
The State Councils section Of the
Council of National Defense has sent a
communication to the Idaho State
Council which refers to the American
ization of aliens. The United States
bureau of education is engaged in the
task OF welding the many races and
nationalities comprising Americas 49,
000,00O foreign born and 100000 of
foreign origin into a unified American
people back OF the fighting line-a task
of larger importance to the successful
prosecution OF the war. The national
and state program and the assistance
requested of state councils of defense
and its execution includes considerable
work of particular interest to women.
1t is estimated that 100000 foreign
born whites do not speak the English
language, but instead speak over 100

Idaho Mining War Metals.
Idaho is mining valuable war metals

this state and are in urgent demand
by the government for war use are,
tungsten, molhbdenite, nickel, tin, anti
mony and quicksilver. A small pro

Against Raising Rates.
Governor Harding of the federal re-
serve board, in discussing the move
ment to increase interest rates on bank
deposits issued statement in which he
said in part: "The Federal Reserve
board regrets exceedingly to learn of
the disposition evidenced by banks In
various sections of the country to In
crease rates of interest allowed on de-
posits. 1t is unfortunate that any bank
or group of banks should undertake
especially at the present time, to in.
crease deposits by offering annual In.
ducemcnts in the way of interest, and
1t follows that any aggressive steps
which may be taken by any bank to
increase its deposits at the expense OF
other banks, will doubtless be met by
protective measures on the part OF
banks whose business iH subjected to

to bear its part of the financial burden
of the war and to release sufficient la
Dor and materials for war purposes
without depletion of our own re

Hoover has issued a statement in

100000 bushels in cereal products
which we undertook for our share of

of the amount of meat and pork pro-

 REPORT ON WARRIOR !. RIVER IS SFAVORAbLE
Washington Dispatch Inti- mates McAdoo Will Re- ceive Recommendation
 to Canalize Warrior

Dispatches from Washington yesterday stated that Judge Prouty had prepared his report on the proposed canalIzation of the Warrior river and that he would submit it to Director General McAdoo of the railroad administration within day or two.
 The dispatch stated that Judge Prouty had shown the report to Senator Bank head and Henry DeBardeleben, but ex- acted secrecy of them before doing so.
 While the contents of the report have not been made public, and will not be until it is submitted to Director General McAdoo it is stated that it is favor- able to the Warrior river improvement.
 The matter was referred to Judge Prou- ty several days ago by Director General McAdoo, who stated at the time that he would be guided by the report in reaching his final conclusion. This ac- tion was taken by Director General Me- Adoo at the request of delegations of manufacturers and business men from Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Mobile and New Orleans, accompanied by Senators Bankhead and Underwood and Represen- tative Oliver, who called upon Director General McAdoo to protest against the adverse report of commission that had the matter under consideration

CORPORATIONS OF
 ' ANY OLD KIND FOR PRO-GERMAN WORK
This Is What New York Lawyer Told His Alien Client, According to
 Testimony

New York, June 24-German plots to hide enemy assets under the cloak of American corporations organized or loaned for the purpose were revealed here today when A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian, took over three Ger man-owned concerns with an aggregate capitalization of s, 500,0o0. Federal inves- tigators were reported by MT Palmer to be on the trail of other highly capitalized firms which have used the same means to defeat the law.
 The companies in the group taken over today were: Dieckerhoff, Raffloer eS CO. importers and manufacturers of notions Raffioer, Erbsloh & Co, cordage manu- facturers, with plants in Cupa, and the American Storage company of Havana
 It is charged that on March IT, 1917, three weeks before the United States en- tered the war against Germany, George Carlton Comstock, a New York lawyer. advised Ewald c. Dieckerhoff, one of the principal owners, to safeguard" his property Comstock, in a letter which Was discovered by the department of jus tice, is said to have written on that date:
 "The best way to safeguard your prop, erty would be to transfer aIl of your assets to New York corpora ton which could be organized for this purpose, or a corporation already exist ing could be used. We have corporations in this office which are not doing any thing at this time, they having been created for certain purposes and those purposes having been accomplished are now available for other uses, after amendments of the objects and increases of capital stock have taken place"
 Dieckerhoff is said to have lived in this country b years, but never has been naturalized.
 The scheme, according to MT. Palmer, was devised to cover these German hold ings by apparently selling, all the Ger man assets to one or more American companies and receiving pay for them in notes not due for three years, before which time it was expected the war would be over, so the property could be returned to the Germans.
 The corporations then filed alleged false returns with the alien property custo- dian. showing no enemy owned property. In support of these returns Dieckerhoff and Erbsloh filed voluminous affidavits swearing such transactions had been made in good faith and that they had not been made in contemplation of evad- rorney Comstock supported their declara- tions with assurances that the deals were bona fide, it is asserted.
 Francis P. Garvin, director of the bu- reau of investigation for the alien prop erty custodian, uncovered, with the aid of the department of justice agents, what MT. Palmer declared is "a fraudulent scheme to protect enemy property"
