PROBE OF SINS
NAVY CHARGES
WILL BE MADE
Complete Investigation By
Senate Committee OF Ad-
miral's Allegations Of Mis-
conduct Ordered.

Chairman Hale said the committee
could not complete its investigation of
naval decorations in less than ten DAYS
and that the inquiry of Admiral Sims
charges would not be undertaken until
the committee had made its report on
the matter now under consideration.
The inquiry into naval awards was
resumed after the meeting of the full
committee adjourned Admiaal Sims
was called to resume his testimony,
which started Saturday.
War Probe Pending.
Chairman Hale annouced that as a
separate investigation of the conduct
of the war was to be made, no evidence
bearing on this subject could be heard
now. Senator Pittman, who directed
the examination OF Admiral Sims, eau
toned him not to comment on any
matter not related to naval decora-
tions.
Senator Pittman called the admiral's
attention to the fact tha some of his
recommendations for decorations had
been changed by the Knight board and
not by Daniels The witness replied
that his criticism was not of the per-
sons who made the changes, but of the
fact that they were changed.
Washington, Jan. 19,--Complete in
yestigation of Rear admiral Sims
charges made against the navy depart
ment's conduct of the war will be made
by subcommittee now inquiring into
the award of naval decorations as soon
as 1t completes its present task. This
decision was made today by the full
senate naval committee.

FRIDAY. MAR. 5, 1920.
THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION

r Asst night the City Council had up for consider
l. alton the question of increased supply OF
culinary water for Cedar City. Like the ghost
of Hamlet. this is phantom that will not down. 1t
Cedar City is to keep right growing and increas-
ing in population must have an adequate supply
of city water, which have not got at present even
to meet the present needs though what we have is
of par-excelent quality.
AT the meeting of the city dads last night Engl-
neer Gardner submitted number of estimates based
on cement wood and metal pipe Tor bringing In
the large Cuf Spring into the system, the estimates
ranging from approximately $4,000 for cement to
$4,000 for iron pipe. 81 3
The question was discussed from various angles.
in the hope of finding solution of the problem which
would take care of the needs of the city for few
years. and defer the large expenditure until such time
as the city should be in better shape to the
burden. But it appeared from the discussion and
sitting OF the information cleaned during the past sew
eral years. that the only real relief would come from
the corraing Of the Cuf Spring. The city has been
seining for little sprng!ets for number OF years past
and has barely been able to keep the citizens in the
higher portions of the city supplied with water dur
ing portion of the time and to go on patching in
this way has been poven to be of little avail. DR..
Macfarlane of the Council suggested that the creek
water might be utilized during such times it was
clear and comparatively pure, shutting oft this source
of supply during storm periods. But the suggestion
did not appear to meet with much favor, those who
in years gone by have had to the water from this
cratic steam. which drains large sheep and cattle
ranged watershed do not take kindly to returning to
those undesirable conditions.
Attorney Ryan pointed out how the $4,000 of
city bonds might be marketed for enough money to
complete the improvement by fixing the interest rate
at 80o-the full legal stipend
The matter is now in the hands of special COM
mttee, whichs looking up the prospects for the sale
of bonds and other important data and will report
to the Council on the 10th inst 4E
The City Council is constantly besieged for funds
for various civic Improvements, the majority Of
which are very worthy and commendable such as
improvement of the city park. the construction Of
children playground. the construction of College
boulevard and the opening or widening and straight
enng of various streets and thoroughfares. the gen
eral planning of the city by expert and the paving

A CASUAL SUGGESTION

IDROPRIETORS Of the local pool halls are askn,
that the city ordinance regulating the licensing
Of same be amended so as to permit the pay
ment of the license quarterly as other business es
adjustments are permitted to do instead of in one
lump sum for the year. which It easy to see is
that burdensome. For hall operating three table.
at $500 per table, it means the payment of 5000
before the business can open up. AS we interpret
the minds Of the councilmen there is no disposition
to try to freeze out discourage the operation Of
pool or billiard tables, but they want safeguard the
interests OF the city and avoid the elimination Of
revenue from this source 1t was argued at the meet
ing last evening that should lie pet!tica For change
of the ordinance be granted, the pool rooms might
be closed for the three dullest months of the year
Now, why not change the ordinance to permit
Of the issue of license semi-annuallyp This woule
cut the periodical payment down one-half which We
are sure would be very great relief to the petition
ers, and at the same time would remove the posi-
bilty OF the suspension of the business part of the
time, as it is certain that there would not be six con
secutive months in the year which the pool men woule
care to lose q .l4.t

SPRING CLEANING

XVIELL, it is getting to about that time of year,
w when we must think of spring cleaning. 1t
is a good time to clean up our lots, yards,
corrals and premises generally. finishing with the
house cleaning. All ashes, cans. and bric-a-bac
should be hauled off; all weeds useless old rags, pa
per and trash either burned on the premises hauled
to the garbage place outside the city and ignited.
There should not be an idle man or team in town,
for there manure to haul from conas, garbage and
trash to rake up and haul away, trees to trim and
ground to be gotten in shape for the gardens.
If time remains when this cleaning is completed
there is farm machinery, harness and other equipment
to be overhaued and placed in servicable condition;
fences and gates to repair seed grain to be gotten
ready for planting and thousand and one other ode
jobs which if done now will help to relieve the strair
when the real spring rush commences.
In farming community like this, there is abso
Mtey no excuse for men to be seen loafing upon tn
streets and sidewalks and about public buildings. D.
not do it it looks bad for the town.

ORR IS VICTIM
Of ACC|DEN
CUNNINGHAM
Hit on the Chest by Flying
Piece of Wheel; Shuts Off
Power and Then Drops Dead
One of Mans Ribs Broken;
Funeral Held Tuesday with
Burial in Fairview Cemetery

Aleck Orr, 50 years old, was killed
Monday morning, about IL, when an
emery wheel which he was operating
burst, and one of the pieces hit him on
the chest. Mr. Orr was a rancher, re-
siding in the Milt Springs section,
nine miles north and east of Grange
vile.
The unfortunate man was cumming
a saw when the accident occurred. He
was working in the machine shop
on his ranch, operating the wheel with
power from a gasoline engine. He was
alone at the time.
Death was not instantaneous, rela-
tives of the dead man decided, after
an investigation, for Mr.. Orr had
walked from his position beside the
wheel to the engine, shut off the en-
CINE, and had stepped from the door
of the machine shop, when he fell
to the ground, dead. He was hit by
the flying stone just above the heart
and one of his ribs was broken.
Mr.. Orr was born at Cascade, Ia,
on Dec. 7, 1865 He resided there with
his parents, until he reached man.
hood, when he removed to Dakota.
On Nov. IA, 1898, he was married
to Miss Sadie Heasley. To them were
born two children, Ethel E., and
Charles Harvey, who, with the widow,
survive him. Mr.. Orr also is survived
by three sisters and two brothers.
Mr.. Orr and family removed to
Idaho county in the spring of 1907,
and had since resided here.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon at from the Hancock par
lors in this city, with services at the
grave in Fairview cemetery. w. n.

Non -partlSanS
Are Mystery in
Fall Campaign
LEAGUE COUNTY AND STATE
CONVENTIONS SET FOR
JULY 10 AND II

What action, if any, the Non-parti-
san league will take in Idaho county
politics this summer and fall remains
a mystery. The league was a factor
in state politics in Idaho two years
ago, but, so far as the public is ad
vised, has been practically dormant
since its defeat at the state election
in 1918.
However, league meetings, behind
closed doors, have been held within
the last few months in various parts
of the state, and it is deemed not
unlikely that the league is operating
secretly, and will place ticket in
the field in the coming election. Laws
enacted by the last legislature, will
prevent the league from entering
either of the old parties with its
candidates. Such candidates as the
league may promote, will necessarily
run as Independents, although the
organization can not be prevented
from indorsing candidates on either
the Democratic or Republican tickets.
That the Non-partisans will not
permit the election to pass without an
attempt to place some of their men
in office is indicated by the fact that
the date for the leagues state con-
vention has been set for July IL.
At this convention, platform
for the 1920 campaign will be drafted
and candidates for state office will
be selected and Endorsed, it is stated.
County conventions will be held by
the league, and the date for these
conventions has been fixed as July
10. At that time, it is said, candidates
will be put forth for the legislature
and for county offices in certain of
the counties. In some counties, full
sets of candidates may be nominated.
In other counties, candidates already
in the race, and who have filed for
the primaries, will be Endorsed.
