BAKERS TELEGRAM.


More than a year ago asked the
military committee of both houses for
legislation to correct the evils in the
present court martial system. I shall
renew the request when congress re-
assemblies. There would seem to be,
therefore. no controversy on the mer-
It's of the subject. Have not yet seen
General Anselrs letter and cannot i'm
agine any reason why my considera-
tion of it on my return will not be time
enough" .-#- ..-.,
In reply to this, Chamberlain said:
"lt is painful to me to find you
fencing upon a question which
means so much to the tens Of thou
sands Of enlisted men who have
suffered injustice under the pres
ent system. Your present recogni-
tion of existing evils of tho court
martial system is strangely ire
conciIiable with your published
statements no more remote than
March 10. In that statement OF
warm approval Of the existing sys-
tenn you seemed blind to any de-
ficiency."
"ANSELL ELBoWED ASIDE"
Chamberlain then declared that be-
cause Ansell had had the courage to
attack the courtmartial system in tes-
timony before the senate military af-
fairs committee, you elbowed him
aside and took into the bosom of your
confidence a trio of men who are pro
nounced reactionaries-Gene Crow
der, the then acting chief of staff, and
the inspector general, the last named
of whom is even this day engaged by
your order in a so-called investigation
designed, in my judgment to destroy
the man who exposed the injustice of
the present system"
Referring to Bakers statements that
he had asked congress a year ago to
pass a law reforming present evils
Chamberlain declared that Baker knew
the bill he submitted never could pass
congress. If it had, Chamberlain said
it would have made the system worse
than now. Chamberlain charged Baker
Is. now trying to shift responsibilit,
from his shoulders to congress by ac-
cusing the latter body of falling to ac'

Chamberlain said, would have allowed
some subordinates in the war depart
ment to change the courtmartial sys
tenn in any way they saw fit. even t.
the extent Of substituting a verdict O
guilty to one of not guilty.
NOT BONAFlDE EFFORT.
"I can hardly believe that that bill
was a bonafide effort to reform the ex
listing system" said Chamberlain.
Chamberlain declared II Baker reall.

OFFICES TO CLOSE,
OVER THIS STATE
Made Necessary Through Lack
of Funds, Congress Adjourn
ing Without Making Neces-
sary Appropriation.

Lack Of funds, because congress fail
ed to make an appropriation, will close
all United States employment offices
in the state of Idaho, unless the com
munities in which they are located,
through citizens, county councils of
defense or other organizations, decide
to finance them. This announcement
is authorized by M. J. Kerr, state a.
rector, who is in Boise for a confer
ence on the matter. These offices are
located in st. Anthony. Idaho Falls.
Pocatello, Twin Falls, Boise, Moscow
and Wallace. Tentative arrangements
are being made by interested citizens
to maintain the offices at Idaho Falls,
Pocatello and Moscow, but they are
not certain Director Kerr may con-
tinue without salary If he can reduce
to a reasonable figure the cost Of main
tanning the state headquarters at st.
Anthony.
These offices have been maintained
for the purpose Of keeping labor en-
ployed. the government having adopted
a system by which men discharged
from the service of their country could
secure jobs through them. 1t Is not
believed there will be labor difficult
ties in Idaho now because of the elab-
crate program Of building planned for
the state and by the different cities,
towns and communities.

BE FRANK WINNER OF LATONIA
DERBY.

BE Frank, bay gelding by Sir John
Johnson-Frankness, belonging tc
c. M. Garrison, of New York, won
the Latonia Derby Saturday after
noon. The East's only representative
ran the mile and half over a heavy
track in 2:37 SIS. Second to Be
Frank was Omond, owned by Pat
Dunno, and third was Gallaher Bros.
Regalo, the only filly in the race
Eternal, the heavy favorite, was far
back.
Be Frank was an outsider in the
betting and paid slightly better than
10 to 1 in the mutuals. Omond and
Regalo also were long shots. Eter-
nal took the track in the first dozen
strides and dominated the running
for the first mile. However, before
three-quarters had been run he
plainly was laboring and it was evil
dent that those who figured that he
was not a reuter-, especially in diff
cult going, had surmised correctly
He faltered when Be Frank and Re
balo challenged at the mile ground
and although he hung on gamely tC
his task he dropped back steadily.
Be Frank, with a long, swinging
stride, laying close to the place from
the start, passed Eternal on the last
turn and came into the stretch lead
ing Regalo by half length. He in
creased his margin in the final drive
Omond came strong in the stretch tc
get the place
Eight accepted the issue, including
Eternal, Pastoreau, Regalo, Celer.

VOLUME xxxVIIi
COUNTY VISITED BY HEAVY
STORM SUNDAY.

A heavy storm of wind, rain and
hail, accompanied by vivid lightning
and thunder, passed over sections of
Bourbon county Sunday afternoon,
doing considerable damage. The
storm caused considerable interfer-
ence with telephone service, wires
being down in some sections, and the
service disorganized. Heavy rains
swelled the small streams until they
overfiowed their banks, and swept
away property, such as fencing and
other movables. In the Blacks Cross
Roads vicinity there was virtually a
cloudburst, the water streaming over
the hillsides, uprooting and sweeping
away newly planted tobacco and 9TH
er crops. Hail fell in plentiful GUAM
titles near Riddles Mills, but little
damage ives done. Near Blacks
Cross Roads bunch of sheep feeding
on a rising piece of ground between
two small creeks were entirely cut
Of by the rising waters, which fin
ally engulfed and drowned them. No
damage was done in Paris by the
storm, which seemed to have spent its
violence in the county.
Reports from various sections of
the county yesterday indicated the
severity of the storm to have been
felt in those vicinities. Parties from
Paris returning from Riddles Mills,
where they had been observing Flow
er Mission Day at the County Infirm-
airy, stated that the hail was very
heavy along the pike between Paris
and Riddles Mills and in some places
was piled up in little mounds.
A storm of rain and hail fell at
Versailles shortly after two o'clock
Sunday afternoon. About six miles
out on the Frankfort pike heavy hail
cid considerable damage to growing
crops, especially wheat, oats, rye and
barley. The hail which fell ranged
from the size of a pigeons egg to
that of a hen egg.
