Handed Conference
Delay Experienced in Drawing
Austrian Terms Necessitates
Postponement Of Delivery

Paris-~May 29.--Copies Of the
German counter were
delivered to the peace conferees
shortly after noon today. The
big four began consideration OF
the document Immediately and
experts Of the peace commission
were called In to aid in formu-
iating the allied reply, which it
Is expected. will be handed to the
German delegates in the next
few days.
The reply Is understood, will
contain several important modi-
fications of the original terms,
but will close the door to further
negotiation and set. a definite
time limit for acceptance. This
period may not be longer than,
fcrty-eight hours.
Strong resentment Is felt by
the allied commissioners at the
discourteous action of the Ger
mans in making the counter pro-
rosafs public before copies had
been received by the conference.
Unexpected delay in drawing
up the terms OF the Austrian
treaty have caused a postpone
ment Of the delivery Of the treaty
to the Austrian delegates which
had been set for tomorrow The
treaty probably will be handed
over at ST. German on Monday

ELKS' RECEPTION TO
BE HELD FRIDAY NIGHT

The indications are that the recep-
ton to be held Friday night will be
the greatest social event of the season.
The reception is TO the teachers of
the Moscow city schools and the mem
bers of the facIlry of the University
Of Idaho. A special feature will be a
/ welcome home" TO Col. and Mrs. f.
r. Chrisman, who return to Moscow
for the third time, and their hundreds
of friends will be asked to meet them.
This is the third time that Colonel
formerly Lieutenant) Chrisman has
been at the head of the military de-
partment of the University of Idaho.
But the principal reason for holding
the reception is that the townspeople
may meet and get acquainted with the
educators. Every member of the fac
ulty of the University of Idaho and
of the city schools is to be a guest
of honor at the reception and every
citizen of Moscow is especially invited
to bring his wife and daughter or
somebody's wife or daughter to the
reception to meet and get actually and
really acquainted with the educators.
Remember the Elks never do any
thing in a half hearted way. 1t will be
splendid opportunity to get ac-
quainted with your neighbOrs and to
meet the teachers and faculty mem
bers of our two great educational in
stitutions that are training more than
1900 boys and girls and young men
and young women for better and
more useful lives.

HARVEST FESTIVAL
ABOUT BROKE EVEN
RECEIPTS FROM ALL SOURCES
WILL ALMOST PAY THE EX-
PENSES OF THE FAIR

| That Latah county's harvest festival
almost paid expenses, counting the
contributions by Moscow business
men, was shown by the report of the
fair committee made to the executive
committee of the chamber of COM
merce at the noon luncheon Tuesday.
The total receipts from all sources
were $3,990.10. The total expendi-
lures to date are $3,989.30, leaving
balance of 80 cents in the treasury.
But there are a few bills unpaid yet
and the total of these cannot be learn
ed for some little time. 1t is believed
the outstanding bills are not large and
that the festival almost paid expenses.
The funds raised came as follows:
From Moscow business men subscrip-
lions totalling $2269 were received.
The admissions at the gates totalled
$1333.10 The carnival company paid
$285 and eating concessions paid $95.
Lumber returned brought $50. The
committee is anxious to have the out
standing bills presented so they can be
paid and a final accounting rendered.
There was fairly good attendance
at the weekly luncheon, with President
Heckathorn and Secretary H. 81.

a brief report of his trip to Spokane
in the interest of the chamber. G. A.
Hagen was asked for report on the
fair but said the committee would

later and make what report it could !
President Heckathorn suggested that |
the luncheon should be held down to
one hour and not dragged out longer
than that. A. H. Oversmith made a

That he was energetic and capable.
That through their joint efforts they
had accumulated property worth
$4,000.
The petition further recites that
property was capable of earning
$1,000 per year, net, and that Hanna

four years ago
That since that date Hanna's mind
seems to have been affected and he
has Authorizations, one of which is
that he will make a million dollars

that he would make "a million dol

less he is restrained he will fritter
away their property, and that he will
contract obligations that will cause
them serious financial loss.
She charges that, owing to his in
competency and mismanagement their
property, which should earn $1,000 per
year, is earning them less than half
of that sum and that Mr.. Hanna, who
was, prior to four years ago, capable
of earning $1,000 to $4,000 per year,
earns about 500 per year.
