who won at the district contest at
Idaho Falls last week in oratory.
Hotel Accommodations have been
ordered by telegraph by contestants
from Twin Falls, st. Anthony, Idaho

Bootlegger Captured
With Andersen's Car

Sheriff A. H. Simmons came hack
from Ogden Wednesday evening,
after a short visit with the sheriff
there, bringing along Judge Ander-
sens Nash, which disappeared from
its home three weeks ago, and the
man who had it. The man gives
his name as ndwin Rust. He is not
known here, but spent several days
in town the first of the month.
The authorities at Ogden chased a
bootlegger for five miles one day and
caught him with the goods. The car
was one advertised by Sheriff Sim
mons as stolen here, a Nash touring
car. The man was he who took it.
He was coming from Wyoming with
something to drink.
Made Several Tries
The capture of Rust solves the
riddle Of all the cars that were med
died with on the night of Thursday,
April 3. He admits that he took
Judge Andersen's car on the same
night, after his other unsuccessful
attempts, tho it was not missed un-
til Sunday.
Judge Andersen makes no state
ment as to the condition of the car,
other than that it was driven about
1000 miles. It will be overhauled
and inspected before any damage
,an be ascertained.
Edwin Rust confesses to the whole
operation, according to Sheriff Sim
mons Thursdady morning, and will
appear before Judge Cowen upon his
'eturn to Blackfoot.

BOARD MEETING;
SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Mondays Meeting De-
voted to Solving Peti-
ton Problems
WILL TAKE CENSUS

The school board met Monday
evening to take up the election Of
teachers for the next term, but a
certain petition coming before them
presenting knotty problems, they
spent the whole session in it's con-
sideratlon, and appointed commit
tee to report on teachers and their
salaries next Monday evening.
The petition is the same myster-
lous document that nearly everybody
IN stown has heard rumors of and
hasn't seen. It is not even vet ready
Tor publication, but it's purport is to
pray the board that they look care
nlly into the matter of dress at the
schools and the matter of school en-
tertalnments, which are alleged to
encourage forms of amusement not
practiced willingly by some of the
students nor favored by the parents
i these, such as card playing and
dancing.
The board is now scouting around
to pick up pointers on modern fash
ions in dress, and will possibly have
something to report at the next meet
ing Monday. This petition was not
slsned by any persons in name, but
by organization titles.

Big Estate in Court;
Three Couples Wed

A case involving the competency
OF William Lindsay of Idaho Falls,
was brought to the Blackfoot pro-
bate court this week. Attorneys for
Mr.. Lindsay objected to the con-
firmation of sale of property under
sanction OF Mr.. Lindsay's guardian,
w. E. Collins. Bills against the
estate aggregate nearly $4,000.
Judge Good, who heard the case,
postponed the sale of property until
the question Of Lindsay's competency
shall have been tried on May IL.
The estate is large, and worth
perhaps 100000. An unfortunate
feature of it is that neither Lindsay
nor his wife, who Is insane, has ever
received a living from the property,
SO tied up has the estate been for
number of years. They have had
to work hard for the necessities of
life.

Objections to League Met
Principally, said Senator Nugent,
opponents of the league seem to for
get that every member will be SUBJ
1ect to the same limitations as we
are; If America is forbidden to 20
ahead and pile up an immense arma-
ment Of war machinery, so is every
other nation. 1--WE shall all be in
the same relation under league as
we are today" He called attention
to the fact that the thirteen original
colonies of our country leagued to-
gether in similar way. If the world
league is an experiment, so was that,
and 1t gave the world large and
powerful nation, a stronghold
against monarchial tyranny.
To the objection that in such a
league of nations America would
have to lay down her sovereignty and
leave her affairs to the peril of alien
combinations, the senator answered
that under common international
law such peril was excluded. When
The representatives Of nations meet,
he said, they do not have to submit
to majority rule, Tor that would be
giving up the sovereignty of each.

1aatic character, concluding with q
speech BY President Wilson deprecat-
ing the opposition which had been
expressed.
He declared the Monroe doctrine
was enunciated to combat the holy
alliance and to hold back the threat
OF absolutism and militarism. II was
source Of surprise and discourage.
ment, the president said, to hear oppo-
sition expressed TO such doctrine
and such purpose.
The British attitude had been in
doubt until the last, but Lord Robert
Cecil turned the scales by announc.
ing that he saw no objection to the
amendment in the form presented by
the president M, I.arnaude, Of the
French delegation, followed Lord Rob
