A letter from Edgar S. Elder, ex-

MISUSE OF FUNDS
Alleged Irregularities Being
PTObed at Boise.

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 3.-The in
yestigation of the use of the militia
fund by Ex-Governor Alexander
and his adjutant general c. S.
Moody, has developed nothing
positive as yet excepting as to
few items of alleged illegal expen
diture of funds. With reference
to them Mr.. Alexander and
General Moody have already re-
piled by reimbursing the state.
They have deposited with the state
over 5000 to cover these items. 1t
is said that larger amount will
have to be paid in to cover the
total alleged misuse of funds.
The use of the militia funds by
the former governor for travelling
and other expenses that, it is
claimed, should have been paid
out of his own allowance is
attempted to be explained on the
ground that there was not suffi-
cient funds elsewhere to cover that
expense and that the militia appro-
priation, being practically untouch-
ed, was regarded being of legal
availability.
The former adjutant general is
directly accused OF using militia
funds for personal ends.
Boise, Idaho. Although Idaho
has had no militia since August,
1917, when the and Idaho regi-
ment was federalized, the office of
adjutant general, during the en-
cumbency of Charles S. Moody,
whose administration is now under
legislative investigation, expended
approximately $3I, 900 more than
regular salaries, which averaged
about $500 per month during the
biennium, according to claims of
the department on file at the state
auditors office.
Only $7o8o 38 of the $50, ooo
appropriation given Moody by the
1917 legislature for militia and ad-
ministration expenses for the
biennium remained in the fund
when Moody left Office January 6.
During the first year of the
biennium, seven months Of which
included maintenance OF the
militia, Moody's department spen
only $I3135.6o. In 1918, during
which there was no militia expense
the department expended S29,775

GERMANS ARE GIVEN
 EXTENSION OF WEEK
Time Will Be Used in Quieting Agita- tiOn in Berlin-Many Favor
 Signing Treaty.

Paris, May 22, (Havas.) )-The seven days granted the Germans before the time limit for the submission of re- plies to the allied peace terms ex- Dires will not be devoted exclusively to the drafting of notes at Versailles, but will be employed at Berlin for the purpose of quieting agitation there, according to newspapers here. It is pointed out that there is an influential party in Germany, made up of lnde- pendent and majority socialists, which favors the signing of the treaty. Bank CTS, manufacturers and business men generally, as well as the military au- thorities are said to share this view, believing it is declared that anything is preferable to BolsheVism which might ensue if Germany refused to agree to the terms of peace. Philip Scheidemann, the German chancellor, and Gustave NOske, minister of de- fense. it is said have compromised their position by exaggerated state ments and have placed themselves in a difficult situation.
 Newsrapers declare the extension granted yesterday will be the last concession as to time made to the enemy. If this is true, it is expected the treaty may be signed between June 12 and June 16.

SENATOR HALE HAS
 SWITCHED TO SUFFS
With Maine Mans Support Equal Franchise Advocates
 Confident of Success.

Washington, May 22.-The woman suffrage constitutional amendment resolution which passed yesterday by the house, gained another vote in the senate with the announcement today by Senator Hale, republican of Maine, that he would support it. Senator Hale voted against the resolution at the last session. Suffragists previous ly had claimed sufficient votes to en- sure adoption of the resolution in the senate.
 Senator Hale's announcement was made in a telegram sent to Col. Fred Dow of Portland, Me. After explain ing that his vote was cast against the resolution last session because his state defeated woman suffrage in 1917 the senator said he felt justified in supporting it now in view of the re- cent action of the state legislature in granting presidential suffrage to the women of Maine.
 If they are qualified to vote in a presidential election,' said Senator Hale, they are certainly qualified to vote in any other election.

Philadelphia May 22.-Desperadoes operating in a stolen motor car killed one of their number today in a sensa- tional holdup here.

London, May 22, (British wireless service).-It is apparent from fore casts in the German press that one of the principal points of the German reply to the peace terms will be an appeal to institute a joint committee of representatives of both sides with a neutral president to decide 1he economic question. The Germans
 also will ask the appointment of a similar committee to determine the damage done in Belgium and France.
 The German reply it is understood will protest against the treaty not taking into consideration the damage done in Germany. It will be urged that Austria Hungary having been an ally of Germany should be held in the same responsibility as Germany.
