SMITH ASKED WHY
HIS VICE RA|D|NG
SUDDENLY STOPPED
Private Defective Also Ques-
toned About Shadowing
Members of Grand Jury.

Before the Extraordinary Grand
Jury reconvened to-day. Foreman
Raymond +. Almirall conferred with
Assistant District Attorney James e.
Smith, who is presenting to the Grand
Jury the police phase Of the inquiry
into the existence OF tho alleged I'm
visible government" in New York
City.
II was understood that the Grand
Jurors were concerned In ascertain
ing from Mr.. Smith why the raids
which he conducted In 1918 on
gambling houses and disorderiy
places were suddenly stopped by him,
Ito was asked TO produce a letter
written 10 District Attorney Swami by
Mayor Hylan last October. The let
ter was printed In The Evening
World at the time and In II Mayor
Hylan expressed the opinion that tho
raids being conducted by Mr.. Smith
were to discredlt the Police Depart
mont and 70 obtain newspaper pub
licity for Smith. The counter charge
OF Mr.. Smith that certain police Of
hclals we're trying TO clrcumvent his
activity in closing gambling houses
were laid before the Grand Jury.
Another witness before the Grand
Jury to-day was Alfred wetmope. a
private detective. the o.called "mys-
terious stranger" whose presence
about the Criminal Courts Building
was commented upon yesterday. Mr..
Smith said wetmore had been called
TO be Intercepted regarding the
shadowing OF members Of the Grand
Jury since the present investigation
began. Some papers were found In
the possession OF Wetmore. II was
said. which indicated that he had
been paid certain sums OF money by
various men throughout the city. a
number OF whom were former police
men. Wetmore told tho Assistant Dis
trict Attorney that this money had
been paid several months ago. Sew
eral members OF the Grand Jury idcn-
tihed the private detective AZ having
tralled them and wanted TO ascertain
who had employed him for this work.
In Smiths ofiice this morning was
an offlcial OF the Mutual Dry Goods
Protective Association. who. II was
said, probably would be called to teA-
tify as to the truth ot the rumors that
loft thieves have been getting police
protection. There have been many
loft robberies. in which thousands Of
dollars worth of silks have been
stolen. Few Of the robbers have been
convicted.
In It's search for the "overshadowin
crime" the Extraordinary Grand Jury
may to-day call Commissioner OF Ac-
counts David Hirshfleld. who some
time ago prepared a report on gam
bling that either was tho hot" or
too inconseduentinL 10 ho given out
by either Mayor Hyian or District
Attorney Swami, who received copies
There are conflicting stories OF this
report. and II Is understood the Gra.id
Jury wants 10 hear what Mr.. Hirsh-
field himself has TO say about II. One
rumof is that the Grand Jury already
has copy
One OF the rumors to-day about the
Criminal Courts building was that n
number OF policemen OF New York
and several OF other cities. and pos
sibly some big gamblers. will be
called In to tell what they know about
"a certain "doughbag" man.

LONDON-The National News
says suggestion that the British
West Indies be ceded to the United
States in part payment of Great
Britain's war debt is being considered
on both sides of the Atlantic
U. S. Not Sympathetic.
WASHINGTON.- far as, known
no proposal that the United States
take over the British West Indies in
part payment of Great Britain's war
debt as reported by the National
News of London has been considered
by this government.
Suggestions that Great Britain cede
some of her island possessions in the
western Atlantic to the United States
have been made severl times, but
have never met sympathetic re-
Spouse in this country.
The most recent suggestion was
made a few months ago by a member
of the house of assembly of the Ba-
hama islands. He proposed that Great
Britain permit the Bahamas to trans
fer their seat of sovereignty to the
United States.

IDAHO BOY SCOUTS
FIGHT FOREST FIRES
BOLT OF LIGHTNING STARTS FIRE
WHICH SCOUTS EXTINGUISHED
WITH SPADES

TWIN LAKES. Campers who were
up early yesterday morning witnessed
an unusual sight when a bolt OF
lightning descended on Kings noun
tain, peak that rises several thou
sand feet from the uplands surround
ing Twin Lakes. Setting fire to the
timber in three widely separated
places. The blazing globe leaped from
shoulder to shoulder of the mountain,
leaving a trail of smoke and flames
in its wake.
Several boy scouts from their sum-
mer camp here, headed by Assistant
Executive Solberg, started for the
scene of the fire on the summit OF
the peak, armed with shovels and
other equipment. They we're nearly
three hours making the ascent but
arrived there in time to extinguish
the flames, which were working
their way downward toward the
heavy timber.
A number of campers succeeded in
controlling the fires lower down the
mountain and it is believed that all
the blazes were extinguished, but
boy scouts were scattered through
the forests on patrol last night to
guard against further outbreaks.

WELCOME RAIN WILL
SAVE LATE CROPS
STEADY DOMINIQUE SUNDAY
NIGHT BRINGS NEW HOPE
AND HELPS EVERYONE
1t came at last.

Although about 80 days late, the
long looked-for and almost espaired-
of rain came. gently quietly, but eff
fectually, Sunday night. 1t came to
the extent of AS of an inch, a good
rain fall, and every bit of it was abb
sorbed by the dry and thirsty soil.
OF course it is too late to help any
but the very latest sown spring
wheat, oats and barley, but it means
the salvation of the fruit, potato,
corn and vegetable crops and it means
splendid fall pasture and a good third
crop of alfalfa, which means the saw
ing of thousands of tons of hay that
would have had to be fed to stock if
the rain had not come. 1t means the
saving of the largest bean crop in the
history of Latah county and it means
big, red apples, instead of small
crop of dwarfed fruit. 1t means mil
lions of dollars made for the farmers
and saved to the lumber men and the
state and the nation, for the forest
fires have been extinguished and 1t
is believed they will not be revived.
The rain was general throughout
a wide area 1t began falling about
8 o'clock and continued until toward
morning. 1t came gently, without
wind and with but little thunder and

Tightening. All of the water that
fell went into the soil which had not
been so thoroughly soaked since May
The roads had been deep in dust
In many places the dust was as deep
as in wheat hauling time, but the
rain settled this and Monday morning
water stood in some low places in the
roads. The rain viii delay harvest
work but will make the work easier
and more pleasant for it will dis
pense with the dust and the heat.
Wheat and hay that are in the shock
were not injured and will soon dry
out so that harvest work will be re-
sumed.
The rains meant much to Latah
county and the entire Inland Empire.
1t would have been worth many mil
lions of dollars more had it come a
month earlier, but it is certainly well
come now though late, and puts new
life and vigor into all kinds of crops
and makes people feel like working.
The greatest good probably comes
from the saving of the forests which
were threatened by fires in many
places. Already millions of feet of
fine timber and hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars worth of lumber and
poles and posts and logs have been
destroyed.

Thief-HOld Up-POlice.

What might have been moving
picture thriller but was not, occurred
in and near Moscow few nights ago.
A well known man and his son have
a Ford auto in partnership. The
father is reported to have driven 1T
down town and the son finding it here
and wanting to use it, took it for a
spin into the country. The father,
secured the services of the sheriff and
police officers and, getting clue to
the direction the car had taken, started
in pursuit. They saw the car coming
and tried to halt it, but the young
man, thinking it holdup, "threw her
into high, opened the throttle" and
showed them what Henry Ford really
could do when scared. Shots were
fired after the fleeing car in an effort
to puncture tire, but at each shot
Henry gave long leap forward. 1t
is said the boy outdistanced his pur-
suers by half a mile in mile run
and had the car in the garage with
the door locked, when his father re-
turned. Explanations were made and
since that time all of those who took
part have been industriously trying to
keep the story out of the paper: ASK
the sheriff's force and the police Of
Ulcers for the complete details.

Prospector Wants to
Dig Up Old Gold Bar

Topeka, Kan. - James Fore
man, SO, one of the old pioneer
settlers Of Salina, created some
comment there when he de-
clared that there was bar of
pure gold beneath the street car
track on Santa Fe avenue-that
1t was a bar of gold taken from
him in the early days and
buried. He is now in Salina for
the purpose of getting the gold.
but he can't get permission of
the president Of the street car
company to do any digging
around the tracks. Foreman
says the president of the car
company knows exactly where
the bar is. because he told him.
Local officers succeeded in To-
eating a sister and brother Of
Foreman in Indiana, and they
have been notified to look after
their brother. In the meantime
the county is keeping Foreman
and paying the bill of expense,
but Foreman says when he gets
his bar Of gold he will repay the
county and have a comfortable
fortune left.
