GRAND JURY CHARGES BLAIR E
HOAR WITH EMBEZZLEMENT
OTHER CASES

The federal grand jury has made
its report, whis has been accepted
and the jury discharged. Probably
the most important case before the
grand jury was the charge of embez-
Element agains Blair E. Hoar, receiv-
er of the United States Land office at
Lewiston. The Indictment charges
that Hoar refused, failed and neglect
ed to deposit in the First National
Bank of Lewiston, the government
depository, the sum of $2,662.67 of
money belonging to the land office
department, although it was his duty
to do so, and he was urged in four
separate communications, each being
named and date given, to deposit the
money there. The Indictment charges

is signed by Howard David, foreman
of the grand jury and by ]. L. Nc
Clear, district attorney and the name
of E. S. Evans is endorsed on the in
dictment as a witness.
Indictments have been returned
against G. H. Barnett charged
with having liquor in his pos
session in Clearwater county; George
Shattuck, for introducing
liquor on an Indian reservation, in
Nez Perce county; and Elmer 7. Eva
ing and Earl Steen, for unlawful pos
session of liquor, near Sites.
Ed. Scott, of Sites, is being tried
today for having liquor on an Indian
reservation, this being a case held
over from a former term.
Mr.. Hoar claims the money was
stolen from the safe in the United
States Land office, which was bur-
glarized last April while he was out
of town from Friday until Monday.
He lost several hundred dollars in
Liberty bonds at the time. Hoar has
given bonds for his appearance and

SOVIET RULE WORSE
THAN THAT OF GEAR
DISSATISFACTION EXPRESSED
AT CONVENTION HELD IN
PETROGRAD is REPORT

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY.-(By Associated
Press. -Sidelights on the trend of
| that internal dissension in the Boil
shevik ranks is sapping the power
of the Soviet leaders, are contained
in the report Of a soldiers and sailors
conference, details of which recently
reached American headquarters. The
conference was held in Petrograd in
the summer and much dissatisfaction
at conditions was displayed by the
soldiers who charged that officers en-
joyed special privileges and that af-
fairs were worse than they had been
under the rule of the former En-
peror.
Portions of the report read: "The
convention of the supporters of the
Red guard and the sailors, held in
Petrograd, was attended by several
thousand from the army and fleet.
The minutes show that the command
take advantage of their office, and
although members Of the communist
party, are ever trying to secure
special privileges. The soldiers and
sailors were indignant because of the
increase in pay of the commanders
and declared that conditions were
worse now than those that prevailed
under the regime of the Emperor.
They demanded that the pay be equal
for all, whether the soldier be priv
ate or a general.
Complaints were made against the
conditions of the barracks, because no
repairs were made and the funds
appropriated for this purpose went
into the pockets of the high officials.
The condition of the hospitals is still
more deplorable. There are no
doctors or medicine and those really
sick or wounded have to shift the best
they can for themselves. The worst
problem Of all is to provide for the
families of soldiers in the field. No
thing is done for them and the money
for them also disappears in the
pockets of the official thieves

ample of their forefathers in setting
aside one day on which to offer pub
lie thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His manifold blessings and to ask
the continuance Of His Divine guild
ance in the handling of tasks and
problems of human Affairs.
The cultivation of a spirit of gen.
uine gratitude gives the strongest as
surance that we shall make the high
est use of the blessings which have
come to US, and faithfully meet the
sacred duties which they impose.
Now, therefore, I, D. w. Davis,
governor of the state of Idaho, by
virtue of the authority in me vested
by law and IN accordance with custom
do designate and set apart Thursday,
the twenty seventh of November as a
day of Thanksgiving and praise.
I recommend that the people of the
state, giving up their ordinary oc-
cupations for that day, do assemble
in their several places of worship and
in their homes and render thanks to
God for the great blessings which
have been vouchsafed us.
In testimony whereof, | have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state of
Idaho.
Done at Boise, the capital, this 1st
day of November, 1919.

ANDREW w. HEILUND is
DEAD FROM APOPLEXY

Coroner Grice returned today from
near Potlatch where he was called by
the death of Andrew W. Hedlund,
aged 26 years and eight months, who
fell dead yesterday while at work in
his fathers meadow. The young man
had gone out to dig some drainage
bitches and failed to come home at
noon. His mother called repeatedly
about l O'Clock and when he did not
come his father started out about 2
o'clock and found his body, cold and
rigid, lying face downward beside one
of the bitches in which he had been
working. 1t is believed he had been
stricken dead while standing up and
had pitched forward on his face, be-
ing dead when he fell, for there was
no marks of any struggle and it is
believed that if he had not been dead
when his face struck the ground he
would have moved it. Coroner Grice
decided there was no need for an in
quest. The body will be buried to-
morrow at PalouSe
