PRESIDENTS BILL
 CANNOT BE PASSED
Overwhelming Opposition to Measure
 Introduced by Overman by All Parties.

Washington, Feb. 8.-From com ment heard among leaders at the capitol, there appears to be ample ground for doubt if the bill offered by Senator Overman of North Caro- lima yesterday to bestow sweeping powers upon the president by au- thorizing him to reorganize and CO., ordinate the governm ent bureaus and agencies for the period of the war will ever find it's way out of the ju- dietary committee. Leaders of both parties agreed that the measure, if It should get out of committee, would be overwhelmingly defeated on the floor of the senate.
 Most leaders profesSed serious doubt as to whether the president ac- tually expected the bill to pass. They thought the executive had caused the measure to be offered in congress so as to divert debate from the war cab met and munitions director bills. Only few senators could be found who were willing to say they regard ed the measure seriously. These were administration democrats, and even they thought the measure was doomed to defeat
 The general opinion expressed by democratic and republican senate leaders was that the Overman meas ure pointed the way toward absolut ism, and that congress could not af ford to delegate any such power a. Is comprehended in the bill.

GIRL WINS $5O,OOO
 AFTER LONG FIGHT
Heirs of Charles Barker Agree
 Following Five Year Court Battle

New York, Feb. S.--A settlement has been effected in the case of Miss Beatrice Arabella Barker, whose claim of $50,000 share in the estate of her great-grandfather, Charles Barker, a millionaire real estate dealer has been in legal dispute before court after court for five years.
 The girl who was fourteen when the first legal proceedings were start ed, is to receive, it is understo cd, nearly all she claimed.
 It was a complicated case. In 1897 Miss Beatrice's mother, who was then Estelle Whitney and only 16 years old, for a joke went through a marriage ceremony with Aiphonsus Murtha be- fore Brooklyn minister. The couple never lived together and never, so they later testified, regarded the cere- mony as binding. Two months later, Miss Whitney, as she still called her. self, married Charles Barker, a grand son of the wealthy real estate man. Beatrice Arabella Barker was the child of this union.
 The younger MT. Barker died in 1901. Five years later his widow Beatrice Arabe1la's mother became the wife of Henry F. Dorgeloh, an of- ficial of the Hamburg American SIeduSnIp COulpd1ly- SuUSeQueAIly, the elder Charles Barker died, and Beatrice Arabella's mother claimed the girl, as his great at-granddaughter, was entitled to part of the estate.
 The other heirs denied the claim. They contended that because of the so-called mock marriage" to Murtha, the girls mother never legally was the wife of Charles Barker, and, therefore, the girl was not entitled to share in any estate as an heiress. The former Mrs Barker-then, and still Mrs. Dorgeloh-brougf1t suit to have her marriage to Murtha annu1led, but Supreme Court Justice Kapper, in Brooklyn, decided it was binding, and therefore her marriage to Barker was not legal. This was in December, 1914
 But, year later as the result of a second suit, Justice Aspinan an- nulled the Murtha marriage and thus restored Miss Beatrice Arabella to the rights of bequest-
 Then, in a suit to distribute the Barker estate, Justice Blackmar sus- tained the decision that the girl was the legal daughter and hefress of the younger Charles Barker. The Appel fate division agreed with Justice Biackmar.
 The Barker heirs who opposed the girls claim to part of her great grandfather's estate made prepara- tions recently to carry this last de- scision to the Court of Appeals, but negotiations for a settlement were be- gun and the matter recently was con- cluded. Attorney Robert H. Haskell conducted all the proceedings for Mrs. Dorgeloh and her daughter.
 The Dorgeloh family, with Miss Barker, now are living at Brookline, Mass, though the mother recently has been at the Hotel BosseTt in Brooklyn. a 'I am glad it is settled,'' she said yesterday, flor I felt, through the long legal proceedings, that Beatrice's honor and future were at stake.''

LILLIAN RUSSELL SUES.

New York, Feb. 8.-Lillian Russell Moore, through her attorney, yester- day filed in the county clerks office a summons and complaint in suit for S5,000 against the firm known as the Lillian Russells Own Toilet Prepar- ations, Inc.' The plaintiff alleges that last June she consented to part with her controlling interest of stock in the defendant corporation upon paymen of $10,000 and 5000 per annuna thereafter, for the exclusive use of her name, photograph and facsimile of her signature. A $5,000 payment was due December l, she says, but was not made to her.

same individuals complain the loudest
if their businesses, social or other ac-
tivities are not noted. If slight er-
ror is made in a news item in which
they are concerned they jump all over
you with both feet and demand that
it be corrected at once. These ever
lasting unpleasant happenings account
to very considerable extent for pub
fishers who get personal or get off
wrong.
"Rabid competition in Moscow has
reduced the price of advertising and
job printing to below what it should
be. Advertising space is at least 25
per cent lower in Moscow than in
communities of like size and in papers
having a much. smaller circulation
"The value of good paper to a COM

MOSCOW, SATURDAY
ANNUAL TRACK AND FIELD MEET
HERE PROMISES TO BE A
CLOSE CONTEST

Idaho university and Washington
State college will meet on the athletic
grounds of the university next Satur-
day at IL o'clock for the first field
and track meet of the year There
are to be two meets between these
schools this year, owing to the drop
ping out of Montana and Whitman for
the season, the first to be held at
occurring at Pullman at later date.
"Hec" Edmundson, the coach of the
Idaho team, feels confident that the
meet will be we'll worth seeing and
that the contest will be close. He
thinks his men are in good condition
and, despite the fact that he has not
nearly as many men with which to
form team as has Washington, he has
some good material. Both schools will
be handicapped by the lack of expert
enced men, Washington having but
two and Idaho having but one. Rich
mond is the only old man on the Ida
no team, all of the others going into
their first contest this year Richmond
has been having some trouble with one
of his legs recently but it is yielding
to treatment and hopes are strong that
he will be in condition to win the
sprints. He won the northwest con-
ference championship in 1916 with a
record of 10 fiat in the 100 yard dash.
He and Thompson will be entered in
the 100 and 200 yard dashes.
McCallie, middle distance runner, is
showing fine form and some good re-
suits are expected from his training.
Luttrop and Rosinbumy the half, mile
and two mile runners are showing up

weight events and are expected to
show ND we'll in the discus, shot, and
javelin Burke is developing well in
the high jump and SRomig in the pole

The men were out on the track last
Friday with the high school teams and
made number of fine records that,
f equalled in the meet next Saturday
means winning for Idaho. 1t is GER
ain that neither team will have a
walk-away and that the contests will
oe close enough to prove of interest
