LAWYERS CLASH OVER
AGENTS TESTIMONY
Seek to Discredit Testimony of
L. p. Biddick, Henningsen
Field Men Hired Competitors'
Cream Haulers.

In the case of the government against
the Henningsen Produce company ct al
the government sought to. show that
L. p. Biddick, field agent for the Hem
ningsen people, had tried to cripple
competitors by hiring cream haulers.
Mr.. Biddick's testimony was gone into
In detail by attorneys for the defense,
who sought to discredit 1t in a measure
but the government succeeded in get
ting much of 1t through, particularly as
to Biddick's statement that ne had
hired several men in Stevensville,
Mont, because he wanted the cream IN
that territory and that was the way to
get 1t.
The defense sought to discredit the
testimony on the grounds that Biddick
had been instructed to not hire any
man unless he had been away from a
competitor at least 80 days. The gov
eminent brought out that c. A. Reed
and B. B. Liddell were approached by
Biddick to leave the Stevensville
Creamery company and go to work for
the Henningsen people.
PRICE NO OBJECT?
John r. Howe. manager of cream
cry at Stevensville, Mont, testified that
he had held conversation with Biddick
once on the subject of getting butter
| fat, and Biddick had said that ne
would get the cream in that territory
If he had to pay so cents a pound for
it," He also stated that Biddick said
that the easiest way to get cream ir
! that territory was to hire Stevensville
| Creamery company men. On cross
examination. Howe admitted that the
Henningsen people and others operat-
ing In that territory had not caused
him much injury. He had $50 shippers
of cream to his creamery and the 9TH
ers $50.
Lorenzo J. Durant, Of Thatcher, O
creamery man Of Stevensville. testified
that Biddick came to him and wanted
to get cream, and stated that IL he die
not get it, he would go and hire ava.
his haulers.

Il. Alexander Answers Critic
ism Of Legislature Regarding
Expenditure of Militia Funds
During War.
SITUATION WAS SERIOUS
Found Idaho Without An Appro-
priation to Meet Great En-
ergency-State Had to Do
Its Duty-If Crime He Is
Proud of It.

Former Governor Alexander has
made the following statement with
reference to the report of the legisla
tive committee on use by him and his
adjutant general of military funds:
II have little to say at this time. In
the near future, however, l shall take
opportunity to inform the people fully,
not alone as to my official acts, but
as to the actions of the committee as
well.
HAS NO REGRETS.
Il want to say this to the people of
Idaho: l have no regret whatever for
my actions and If l had it to do over
again under the same circumstances |
would do exactly as / did do. When
the war came on l found that not one
cent of money was available by appro-
priation to meet the added duties ex-
pected from this state by the national
government. We either had to permit
this state to fail to perform it's duty
along with her sister states and thus
to win the applause of every l. w. W.,
pro-German and unpatriotic resident of
Idaho, or we had to find means where
by Idaho would do it's full duty to the
nation and to civilization and win the
approval of law abiding, patriotic citi-
ZenS.
APPROVES ACTION TAKEN.
1t does not grieve me one whit to
know that my course now meets the
same arguments advanced by every
enemy of the country who wanted to
see the war fail and who hoped that
the states would break down and fail
TO function with the national govern
ment.
Il approved then and approve now,
the expenditure of the appropriation
made to the adjutant general for the
war purposes for which they were ex-
pended. If that be a crime, then
am proud to be such a criminal, and il
1t should call for prosecution, then the
quicker such prosecution begins the
better it will please me.
ONLY DID DUTY.
THE money was expended by the
advice of the attorney general as to its
legality and with his consent, and with
the consent of the secretary of state
Not even the committee charges that
one OF us benefited personally TO the
amount Of a single cent. They merely
complain because it was spent for the
benefit Of the state and to it's honor
in doing its duty in the great war
Again | say, if that be a crime, then
am proud to be called criminal.
However, the people of Idaho are
reference to tn ereport of the legisla-
as possible means will be found, and
that within a short time to let them
know all the facts"

The artistic and polit- ical career and ideals of the land, the various cities and towns in German, Austrian and Russian Poland are all pictured, so that they can be studteu. The country is shown stripped of al- most every commodity, food. clothes, metal and raw material. The priva- tions of the people were almost be- yond relief, but conditions are now improving and the people have taken 8 new heart.
 The second part of the picture shows the bread line. the pinch Of poverty, and feeding the children of the poor. The great work that America Is doing in Poland. as in other countries, the feeding of nearly a million children per day. are views of intense interest. pr. Newman's g lecture will begin promptly at , o'clock in order for him to leave the city in time to reach New York, where he is to lecture in the evening in Carnegie hall.
