SEA RAIDER SANK
TH|RTY-F|VE SHIPS
GERMAN SHIP WHICH RETURNED
TO PORT AFTER Is MONTHS,
MAKES REPORT

BERLIN-iO OfficiaD The German
sea raider Wolf, which returned to
it's home port after raiding entente
shipping in the Pacific, destroyed 80
vessels. Some steamships were load
ed with English troops and the sink
ings must therefore have caused
corresponding heavy loss of life.
The Wolf escaped from a German
port more than Is months ago and has
been working steadily for more than
a year, at sinking unarmed ships OF
neutral or entente countries. The
Spanish ship which was wrecked Off
the coast of Denmark yesterday, with
a German prize crew on board, was
one of the VOLTS victims. After be-
ing captured it was converted into
commerce raider and German prize
crew placed in charge. 1t sunk six
ships and was finally wrecked when
trying to sneak home. The German
commander has been interned in Den
mark

LABOR IS LOYAL
SAYS PRESIDENT
r. H. PARK, FEDERATION OF La
BOR PRESIDENT, ISSUES
A STATEMENT

That organized labor is standing
Loyalty back of the government in its
ship building program in the west, is
the statement of R. H. Park, presi-
dent of the Idaho State Federation OF
Labor Mr. Park says:
''I desire to call the attention OF
the membership to the Importance OF
aiding in this work. 1t affords a
splendid opportunity for our members
to place their services at the disposal
of the government to aid in winning
the warrior men who are ready when
the call comes, to give up their jobs
which are not vitally important in
war times and take up jobs where the
country needs them and where they
can count for victory.
"a commendable feature of the plan
is that it provides that no men will be
sent to shipyards until jobs are swait-
ing for them and housing facilities
have been provided.

IDAHO LOSES
LAST GAME
Of SEASON
TIRED IDAHO TEAM, JUST BACK
FROM MONTANA, MAKES A
HARD FIGHT
W. S. c. WINS 29 TO "a
SCORE WAS TIED AT SEVERAL
TIMES DURING THE HARD
FOUGHT GAME

Lassitude induced by the unusually
heavy schedule of the past few weeks,
paucity of teamwork resulting from a
lack of opportunity to hold practice
|scrimmages and the sensational baS-
ket shooting of one Rockey, state coll
ing quintet last night in game with
Washington State played in Pullman.
The score was 1924.
The contest was thoroughly fought
from whistle to whistle, the score be-
ing tied no less than four times in
the course of the affray and every man
on the Idaho team battled hard and
consistently, but the drain of the re-
cent firing journey to Montana was
none-the-less apparent
Acting Captain Gene Hyde and Les-
lie Moe were the Idaho lights. Hyde,
who broke into every play, unques-
tionably outshone the brilliant Soren-
son, while Moe ranged the floor we'll,
guarded and performed ably from the
foul line.
With one minute left to play in the
last half the score stood 1924 in PULL
mans favor, but the ball was taken
out of bounds under Idaho's basket
md Moe, Evans and Campbell each
had shots which, if converted, would
have concluded the contest favorably,
but each time the ball rolled around
the hoop and back to the floor.
Doctor Clough, timing for Washing
ton State, made three distinct attempts
to fire his final shot before McIver
tossed Pullman's last field goal When
asked, however, if the basket counted,
he replied in the affirmative.
The lineup and summary:

WILL WORK IN UNISON
PLANS OUTLINED FOR WORKING
ROADS THIS YEAR ON A
UNIFORM STANDARD

The need of Standardization which
ment work, in ship building and all
manufacturing for the war, is found
as apparent in other lines of work and
is to met in I.atah county road build
ing. With So road overseers at work,
each on plans of his own there has
been no uniformity of road work in
the county and nturally the results
have not been satisfactory. To avoid
this working as individuals instead OF
as unit, the road overeers were call
ed in to Moscow yesterday for con-
ference and to exchange ideas. All
but 12 responded and the meeting was
full of interest.
Y While no definite action was taken,
,, it is felt that great good will result
from the meeting. Zone man who at
tended said that he had learned more
about road building yesterday than
he had learned during all of his life
said A. S. Lyon, chairman of the board
of county commissioners.
The meeting was entirely informal.
The road overseers simply got togeth-
er and discussed road building. Some
of the men are new, having been ap-
pointed for this year. Others have
worked for years. Some have evolved
plans for road building, based upon
the experience of years, that have
been found to be practical, cheap and
effective. These men told of their ex-
perience and described the systems
they have adopted and that was a
great help to the new men,
acquisitions for machinery needed
for road work were filed with the
board yesterday and these were gone
over by the board and County Auditor
Estes, who is eX-officio clerk of the
board. this morning. The board had
met in adjourned session and adjourn
ed this morning to meet March at
1 o'clock when the orders for ma
chinery will be given. The require
ments for new machinery this year
are not heavy.

ACCUSE BORCLUM OF SEEKING OWN
 PRIVATE PROFIT

Washington, May 11-Deve1oprnents in the aviation inquiry today awaited the effect of revelations of the army intelligence service, made to show that Gutzon Borglum while investigat- ing aircraft production with the per mission of President Wilson, secretly sought to capitalize his friendship with the President by the formation of a private aeroplane company
 The disclosures given to the Senate yesterday by Senator Thomas of Col orado in the form of sworn state ments, letters and telegrams from the intelligence service files, represent Borglum, who has been one of the chief critics of aeropIane production officials, as seeking for himself the position of silent partner in a. new corporation to take war contracts. His sole asset in the transaction, the docu- ments said, was to be This personal friendship with President Wilson, who, he said, he could do anything with"
 Hugo Gibson, an employe of the British ministry of munitions, who was located in New York and was to share in the deal, was associated with Borglum, according to the letters.

At noon today the police had no clue as to the identity of the parents of the deserted waif, but Detective Sergeant Bray who has been assigned to the case stated that after a thorough examination of the child and his clothing it may safely be said that the baby is of foreign parentage, and probably abandoned in the hope that it could get the care and nourishment which it's mother was unable to give if

TONS OF BOMBS
 DROPPED UPON HUN NAVAL BASE
Continued from Page 1.)

out on lines similar to the raid of April 23, when concrete laden cruis- CTS were sunk in the harbor of Zee brugge, the most important German submarine base. For the second time in a month smoke screen was used successfully. About 2 o'clock in the morning a large force of destroyers and coastal motor boats steamed up toward the shore, the motor boats going alongside it. The weather was everything desirable until 15 minutes before the Vindictive was sunk, when a sea fog drove in shore and reduced the visibility to a range of between 300 and 400 yards,
 The Vindictive experienced the greatest difficulty in finding the en- trance to the harbor. The enemy employed star shells and searchlights extensively and for 20 minutes the vessel was in full view of the enemy batteries. As she cruised up and down seeking the entrance she was lit repeatedly and several casualties were suffered. It was 2:20 o'clock when the piers were sighted almost alongside and then the German ma chine guns opened fire.
 Having found his bearings, the cap tain called the crew from the engine room and stoke hold and then set off the explosive charges.
 It is declared on unquestioned au- thority that the sunken cruiser Vim dictive lies in the neck of the chan nel at the entrance to Ostend harbor at an angle of about 40 degrees. It is obvious that a vessel 300 feet long at this angle does not effectively black a channel some 320 feet wide, but a very useful purpose has been served.
 A part and very serious blockade has been achieved and under the con- ditions of tide and rapid silt move ment prevailing on the Belgian coast, the obstruction will certainly tend to increase. It is not claimed that the sunken cruiser will prevent the egress of submarines or even entirely stop that of destroyers. However, it will materially hamper both and that is important. German light craft will not be able when pursued by British forces to rush full speed into the har- bor as they have done heretofore.

JEALOUS HUSBAND SHOOTS HIS WIFE

Belfast, Me, May 11.-Mrs. Ellen Cooper Pease, night operator in the telephone office in North Searsmont, was shot to death while at work early today. Roy Pease, the young wo- mans husband, was arrested later and was charged with the murder Mrs. Pease was IS years old.
 Miss Marie Jackson, day operator, who witnessed the shoting, told the police she was awakened by Mrs. Pease and that Pease was standing in the doorway with a revolver Tn his hand. He fired two shots, she sad, the first lodging in the wall and the second in the woman's head Mrs. Pease's baby was asleep in bed near which the mother was killed.
 Pease, a farm hand, refused to make a statement The couple had sep. arated recently after being married two years, and the police attribute the shooting to jealousy

MACHINISTS GO BACK TO WORK;
 STRIKE IS OVER

 Government officials are today
 proud of the spirit displayed by
 the men and do not mince words,
 when they openly state that the
 machiists are as a body, true and
 loyal to their country and its
 cause, but were unconSciouSly led
 to act as they did by coterie of
 diSturbers in the union and espec-
 ially one of it's leaders whose &C.,
 tions in the past have branded him, morally at least, a pro-
 German agent.
 It had been projected to call strikes at the Locomobile plant, the Ameri- can & British Mfg. Co.,, Projecti1e Company, Bullard Machine Co. and the Lake Torpedo plant, but the plans of the strike leaders met snag in the loyalty of the men and up to a late hour last night nothing had been done.
 Many of the returning strikers have been questioned as to why they went
  stated that they were unaware that the government had their case under advisement and were told that the only way to force an agreement was to tie up the production.
 Large numbers of machinists were preparing to go to other towns if the trouble continued, but the prompt action taken by government officials and the unanimous stand taken by the public against stopping for an instant the productions of munitions SC badly and urgently neded by our mer in France, prevented big loss te Bridgeport
 It was stated this morning by one of the factory officials that the gov. ernment has promised the machinists a settlement of their grievances b1 June 1, and that any agreement made at that time will date from May 1, ir the same manner that the diff1cu1tie. of the shipbuilders and the railroad workers situations were handled. So far as can be learned no ma ] chine shop in Bridgeport holds an! animosity toward the men who have gone out on strike and have kept the names of the men on their books. The men go back to work as though noth ing has happened and will resume the turning out of munitions while awaiting the decision of the govern l ment officials.

 The woman manager of the store claimed the error was made by the painter, but the latter, according to MT Wodell, claimed that the word thirst was copy and that his cor rection of the word was rejected No further action will be taken.
