LEWISTON MEN ARE
T0IbE TRIED HERE
PROPRIETOR OF BAKERY is
CHARGED WITH KEEPING
RELATIVES OUT OF ARMY

One of the most important cases
to be before the present term of the
federal court is the action originat-
ing in Lewiston and wherein Henry
A. Jess is charged with having as
sisted and having advised his broth
ers to evade the selective draft law.
Jess was arrested in Lewiston last
summer and was indicted by the fed
eral grand jury at the last term Of
court. He is now at liberty on a
heavy bond and his case has been set
for trial next Monday.
Jess conducts bakery in Lewis
ton and when released on bonds it
appears he said he would produce his
brothers for registration and induc-
tion into the military service. Moth
ing, it SENS, hes been brought be-
fore the court to show the brothers
have been registered.
Thompson Will Be Released
William Thompson, Lewiston resi-
dent, charged with violation of the
espionage act by derogatory remarks
on Liberty bonds and food conserva-
tion, was not Investigated by the
grand jury. Thompson was called to
Moscow for examination and re-
port on his case had been made by
a special prosecutor. The facts dis
closed indicated that Thompson had
been extremely imprudent but it is
not believed he intended disloyalty,
and the case was not taken before
the grand jury.

Deary is to have flag raising next
Monday and all of Latah county is
invited to participate. Deary was the
first town in the county to Ego over
the top" in raising it's quota of the
third Liberty loan and receives the
"honor flag" for Latah county. The
flag was sent out from San Fran
cisco, headquarters of the Twelfth
district by mail to B. T. Byrns chair
man Of the Latah county loan COM
mittee, on May 10 and has been de-
livered to the Deary committee. Deary
subscribed $4,000 more than its quota
the first day Of the third Liberty loan
drive.
This hustling little town is entitled
to all of the honor that can be ten
dered her, for she has earned it. The
town gave more than two times it's
quota and it did this in the early days
Of the campaign. Deary has invited
her "big sister," Moscow, to assist
her in celebrating the raising of the
honor flag next Monday, and a large
delegation of Moscow people are 60
ing over there to spend the day, min
gle with the Deary folks, help cele-
brate and, incidentally, to get little
Deary enthusiasm and learn how to
do big thinks quickly.
Next Monday is the opening day Of
the Red Cross drive when the people
of the United States are asked to
raise $1OO,OOO,0OO for Red Cross
work, and Deary is going to "go over
the top" with her quota next Monday.

Deary to furnish music for the oc-
casion. Moscow citizens want enough
automobiles to take the band boys to

of Moscow people go to Deary on
that occasion and show Deary people
how Moscow appreciates the spirit
shown by her little sister.

OF SEVEN TO FOUR

Whitman College, of Walla Walla
defeated the University of Idaho base
ball team yesterday evening by a
score of seven to four, on the uni

snappy. Whitman's star pitcher, Roy
De Grief, who has contracted to
pitch for the Portland league team
when school closes, was a hard nut
for the university boys to crack. They
made but four scattered hits off of
his delivery, while Whitman made 13
hits off of the delivery of Mcdonald.
Whitman also beat Idaho at stealing
bases, the Missionaries stealing five
to one stolen by the home team.
The battery for Whitman was De
Grief and Groshupf, and for Idaho,.
Mcdonald and Hyde. The score:
