As the season advances outdoor
sports and recreations among the SOL

swimming pool, the gift of Mrs. Henry

be the most highly appreciated gift
that has been made in the interest
of the convalescing patients at that
institution.
1t is a source of endless pleasure,

ENJOY lewis CONCERT
Company Of Artists Appear Be-
fore Small But Appreciative
Audience at Pinney.

The. entertainment given by the Sam
Lewis company Saturday evening at
the Plnney theater was highly en-
joyed by those present. The four ar
lists comprising the company deserved
a larger audience. which. although
small, was appreciative.
The Welsh tenor. who sang excel
lently, had varied repertoire, com
prising selections from the opera Rig
oletto," sung In Italian, to old Negro
lullabys. AS usual with Boise audit
ences, the old and more familiar songs
were the favorites. The violinist was
very acceptable, playing with feeling
and expression, and the soprano sang
with decided charm. There was a feel
ing Of keen interest in the work of the
reader, who portrayed the trials OF
the downtrodden French wife married
to the German peasant husband and
the sudden and complete transforms
ton of the shrinking wife into fear
less American woman after a briei
season of tutelage in the United State;
by her energetic American friend. AS
whole the performance was very
pleasing and satisfactory.

FEDERAL AND STATE
ISSUES AGAIN RAISED
Idaho Commission Notified
That Kansas Has Case In
volving Telephone Rates Par
allel to Railroad Issue.

The question Of jurisdiction of pub
lie utilities commissions of the various
states or the railroad administration
having jurisdiction over the rates
charged by telephone companies, COM
mon carriers and other public utiii-
ties. has been squarely raised in Kan
sas and has an important bearing on
the controversy that exists between
state commissions and the administra-
ton.
Z The Idaho public utilities commission
Saturday received communication
from the National Association of Rail-
way and Utilities commissions stating
that the utilities commission of Kan
sas, through the states attorney gem
eral, filed motion in the United Staes
court asking leave to file bill in
equity against Albert s. Burleson, post
master general and the Southwestern
Telephone company and to have pro-
cess thereon.
The petition alleges that the intra
as well as interstate rate made by the
postmaster general is unlawful and
exceeding the authority which can be
or has been conferred by congress;
that the state rates have not been ap.
proved by the Kansas commission; thai
congress has not power to delegate
unrestricted and unlimited legislativ,
power on the postmaster general; tina
the state is damaged in excess of $500
and is without adequate relief il
equity.
If the superior court accepts juris
diction in this telephone case, the ma
tional association informs the Idah
commission, it may be expected to tax
the same action in railroad case tina
perhaps this is the proper way to get
| speedy determination of the jurisdic
tional question involved in the railroa
controversy. 1t is conceded that tn
Idaho commission and commissions c
other states should be prepared to fiji
briefs.

RESULT OF INVESTIGATION

ing that institution, have been follow
ed GU to the letter, it was announced

The retiring board members, ap-
pointed by M. Alexander, when COVER
nor, are S. L. Reese Of Pocatello and
member to retire as soon as his sue
cessor is appointed, is Mr.. Thatcher of
Rexburg.
Superintendent Hoover was super
intendent of the asylum under the

appointed in 1905 and remained head
Of the institution until 1911, since which
time he has been a resident of Black
foot.
The state affairs committee, under

ture, appointed special committee

conditions excellent at the training
school they made an adverse report or
the asylum, claiming that the ipstitu-
ton was not IN good condition; thai
there were many complaints of crue
and inhuman treatment; that the asy.
lum was crowded and patients ir
cramped quarters; that the furniture
for their comfort was insufficient; tina
they were placed in their rooms, thu
