S. E. Hutton, former publisher of
The Star Mirror, former member of
the faculty of the University of Ida
no and former consulting engineer of
| the Idaho National Harvester Plant

| the war and has received signal rec
ognition, because he "made good"
Mr.. Hutton recently returned to
Washington from special mission
to Italy where he had been sent from
France, to assist the Italians in air
plane work. He had been highly sue
cessful in his work with the aero
squadron in France and was COM
missioner by the government to go to
Italy to superintend some very i'm
portant work there. Mr.. Hutton re-
turned to Washington recently with
his reports and asked for furlough
in order that he might visit Moscow.
He was given 80 days and will be here
soon.
Today the Star Mirror received the
following letter from Chief Justice
William M. Morgan, of the Idaho
supreme court, with a letter from
Captain Guy Afford, in which he tells
of the great work Mr.. Hutton has
DONE Judge Morgan suggested that
the letter should be published. 1t is
given with that Of Judge Morgan,
which follows:
BOISE, May 21.-I am transmit
ting herewith letter from Captain
Guy Afford, written in response to
a letter I wrote to him sometime ago,
at the request of S. E. Hutton, rela-
tive to the requirements for admis-
sion to the bar in Idaho. The letter
is so justly complimentary of our
fellow-townsman that I feel it should
be published, and am sending it to
you for that purpose.
Your friend
Vim. M. MORGAN.

Amer. E. F., May 1, 1919.-Judge
VIM. M. Morgan, Boise, Idaho
Dear Judge: I am in receipt of yours
of March Is and the rules of your
court. I wish to thank you for your
favor and interest.
Your letter and the rules furnish
ed me the desired information, i.e.,
whether I am eligible to appear as
a candidate for admission to the Ida
ho bar. I have read law the required
length of time. l have been in the
army for the past seven years and,
in nv opinion, | could become citi-
zen of Idaho by making the required
declaration. I was a citizen (have !
not changed this status) of the state
of Georgia at the time | came into
the army Under these circumsttan-
ces a soldier can elect, ETC., his place
of domicile. If I ever get back to the
good (and only) country from whence /
came, I declare to all the world
that I shall never leave the boundar-
les of the U. S. A.
I have heard Mr.. Hutton discuss
the possibilities of Idaho that | ac-
quired the fever and believe shall
locate in your state. Also 1t IS my
desire to become full fledged law
yer. ,r
Doubtless you have heard from Mr..
Hutton before this time as he lett
here a few weeks ago for Washing
ton, D. c., for temporary duty IN the
office of the director of the air serv-
ice. This for the purpose OF com
pleting certain technical data on the
italian airplanes. In my opinion ne
is the only American who can be
termed an expert on the Capronl
olane. At the time he left here 1T
was believed that he had more real
sdopeo on the construction, etc, of
his plane than any other man in the
English speaking world. He is won
lerful engineer.
Again, 1 thank you for your favor
md hope to have the pleasure of
Meeting you when get back to
Gods country. am
Yours truly,
GUY Afford,
Capt. 3rd Regt. A. S. M.
