JAIL BREAKERS
SOON RECAPTUREl
DESPERATE CRIMINALS HAVE
SHORT LEASE OF LIBERTY
FROM BURLEY JAIL

BURLEY. = Sunday morning at
$3.50 when County Jailer Kennedy
went to feed the prisoners at the Jail
three prisoners, Ed Smith and Ed
Davis, awaiting trial for assisting in
the John Kidd Jail delivery here some
time ago, and Blackie Jorden, charged
with forging a check, held up the
jailer at the point of gun that had
been slipped to them during the night.
They locked the keeper in a cell and
beat up another prisoner named Cam
bra, who had turned in the evidence
against Smith and Davis, and left
him for dead They then stole car
belonging to DR.. Taylor and made
their getaway.
The fire alarm was turned IN, pOSs-
es were organized and the chase be-
gun, Sheriff Pratt notified the out
lying district by telephone and posses
were organized at Malta and Ida
home. Hal Cummings, leader of the
posse from Idahome, discovered the
abandoned car about two miles west
of town and followed the trail into
the brush along Raft river where he
located them. Firing a shot into the
brush all three surrendered and were
turned over to the sheriff and the
Burley police They were returned to
Burley and at o'clock were securely
locked in their respective cells.
Cambria was taken to the hospital
as soon as he was found and is in
a critical condition.

bLESSES THE FLAG
Of OUR COUNTRY
IMPRESSIVE EREMON AT
CATHOLIC CHURCH-SERVICE
FLAG is PRESENTED

A very impressive ceremony took
place at the Holy Trinity church last
Sunday Immediately after the 1880
mass. When Rev. Father R. Pecoul,
rector of the Moscow parish, blessed
the flag of our country presented
to the church by Mr.. B. Bielenberg-
and a service flag, presented by the
Altar society.
The service flag has % stars-25
blue and three gold-representing the
% young men from the Moscow par
ish who left to enter their country's
service.
Preceding the services the choir
sang a song for our soldiers, which
was followed by a short talk by
Father Pecoul, who in few well
chosen words, told what our country's
flag stands for and the meaning of
the service flag. He spoke of the
great sacrifice our boys are making
and how it was our duty to remember
them in our prayers.
Then came the blessing of the flags
followed by benedicition of the Bles-
sed Sacrament.
Singing of america by the choir
and congregation closed the services.

passed through the post office lobby
or the university. At the Veatch
Realty company's office there was
practically no soliciting for the people
who went into that room went there
for the purpose of paying Red Cross
dues and soliciting was not necessary.
The people will be asked to join
voluntarily until Friday. Then a
cleanup" or, as they said in the
great war "mopping up program will
be inaugurated. Committees of women
and girls will be on the streets and
go from house to house on Friday
and Saturday and solicit every one
who does not wear 1919" Red Cross
button. The only safeguard against
being "held up" on the street or in
your home, will be the 1919 button
on your coat or the new Red Cross
card in your window. 1t is hoped that
every home in Moscow and Latah
county will have one of these cards
in the window.
The boys who fought and helped tQ
win the war will be coming back soon
and they will notice every home that
has no 1919 Red Cross card in the
window and they will feel that it is
the home of a family who cared but
,little for the soldiers.
Moscow has splendid chance to
beat Colfax's record this week. Will
she do it? You bet she will.
Notes of the Drive.
Naturally the receipts will be much
lighter each day as the drive pro-
crosses. While about 5000 was taken
in yesterday probably not more than
5000 will be received today. It is be-
lieved the total tonight will be $11O0
for the two days of the drive. Re
ceipts will be lighter until Friday and
Saturday when the canvassers start
out and the country people come to
town.
Those in charge of the booths to-
day were: At the post office. Mrs.
Howard David and Miss Florence
Richardson, in the forenoon and Mrs.
R. E. Neidig and Mrs. Hodge in the
At the Veatch Realty company's

Mrs. c. N Little had charge Of the

TAKES TWO WEEKS
TO COUNT VOTES
ENGLISH ELECTION RESULTS
WILL NOT BE KNOWN FOR A
FORTNIGHT YET

LONDON, Sunday, Dec. 15.-Con-
sidering the novel conditions under
which yesterdays elections were held
and the necessity of waiting for a
fortnight before the ballots are count
ed, there is very little indulgence in
speculation as to the result. 1t is
universally admitted to be almost a
foregone conclusion that the Lloyd
George coalition has been victorious
and will probably have some 400 mem
bers of the new house of commons.
Naturally with many millions of
new voters, women as well as men,
there is ample room for surprises, and
the government party will feel doubts
as to it's success, even if several mem
bers of the cabinet, including Sir Eric
Geddes, first lord of the admiralty;
Sir Albert H. Stanley, president of the
board of trade, and Edward Shortt,
chief secretary for Ireland, have been
elected. Greatest curiosity centers.
however, on the strength of the labor
vote, which, under new conditions, is
no surprise if it is found that in the
and northern industrial coun-
ties the women's vote largely sup
ported labor. The labor party hopes
to win over 100 seats.

WEATHER
PLEASES LATAH PEOPLE

Oh! 1 say, speaking of weather,
have you ever seen finer? Aren't
you glad you live in the Palouse
country these days?
These balmy spring-like days are
the delight of all. On all sides we
hear remarks about the beautiful
days, the delightful weather.
One does not need to go to warmer
climes for the winter when such ideal
days are dealt out to US.
Do the pioneer residents remember
of having experienced a more pleas
ant fall?
We certainly have had more pleas
ant days this fall than is our usual
lot. The rains have been warm rains,
the air has that balmy element we
enjoy in the spring, the sun often
shines with warmth that exhilerates.
Altogether we should be happy for
many reasons, and not the least of
these, is the delightful weather.

RED CROSS DRIVE
IS NOT VOLUNTARY
ERRONEOUS STATEME ENT IN
SPOK ANE PAPER HURTS THE
WORK-WILL SOLICIT

In Sundays Spokesman-Review ap-
peared statement that the Red Cross
drive which opened Monday through
out the United States and will close
the day before Christmas is to be
purely voluntary and there is to be
no soliciting. This statement is
wholly erroneous 1t was felt here
that a purely volutary drive would
not bring into the great organization
a universal membership" which is
the object of the drive. H. H. Simp
son, chairman of the Latah county
drive, wired to Boise asking for in
formation and saying that he had
been informed, unofficially that there
was to be no soliciting. He received
the following reply by telegraph:
"BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 16.-H. H:
Simpson, chairman Christmas Red

fear your drive would not continue
successful very long if you sought
voluntary contributions for you would

Germ for the situation and cannot con-
ceive how all instructions could be

The people have responded splen-
didly the first day, nearly 900 sign
ing the roll call in Moscow Monday,
practically all being volunteers. The
women in charge of the three booths
worked hard from the opening to the
closing of the booths Hundreds of
men, following the instructions given
in the newspapers before the drive
began, went to the booths and paid
for memberships for their entire fam
lilies. A few were solicited as they

there was a feeble effort to direct

we knew full we'll would never come,

REPUBLICANS WILL NOT
TRY TO EMbARRASS WILSON

Burton l.. French, congressman for
the first district of Idaho, and a resi-
dent of Moscow, has written The Star
Mirror in regard to the attitude of
the republicans on President Wilson's
trip to Europe. When Sherman of
Illinois, Poindexter, of Washington
and Knox of Pennsylvania, and sew
eral other republicans started a cam
paign to arouse antagonism against
tnd criaicism of President Wilson be-
cause he had decided to go to France,
Mr. Mann denounced their attitude
In his speech he stated, as reported
by The Associated Press, that repub-
licans would make a concerted action
to embarrass the president. The word
mot" was omitted by some of the
telegraph operators handling the AS
sociated Press dispatch. The Star
Mirror corrected the statement little
later. Congressman French's letter
follows:
WASHINGTON, Dec. TO- - The
Daily Star-Mirror, Moscow, Idaho
Dear Mr. Lamphere: In the Daily
Star Mirror of December 3, on page
3, there appears under a Washington
date line, a dispatch stating that Rep
date line dispatch stating that Rep
resentative Mann, republican floor
leader, said there will be a concerted
effort on the part of republicans in
the house to embarrass the president
"The former part of the item in
which it is stated that Representative
Mann had issued statement declar-
ing that fractional strift should not
be permitted to interfere with the
presidents mission abroad, recites the
correct attitude of Mr.. Mann. Evil
IDENTIFY the word mot" was omitted
from the second part of the dispatch
and it should read, Representative
Mann, republican floor leader said
there will not be concerted effort
on the part of republicans in the
house to embarrass the president
"In view of the fact that Repre-
sentative Mann is the republican floor
leader, | feel that should advise you
of his attitude and also assure you
that unquestionably it is the over
sentiment of the repub
licans of the house to refuse to en-
barrass the president.
s'Yours very truly,
BURTON L. FRENCH"
