NEW TRIAL
Attorney for Defense
May Call for New
Hearing

The jury hearing the case Of J.
Vance Johnson charged with murder
in the first degree returned a verdict
of guilty Friday night, after three
hours Of deliberations. Punish
ment was fixed as Imprisonment In
the states prison for life. The de-
fendent displayed no emotion when
the verdict was read.
Motion for new trial will probably
be made according to q statement
made by G. F. Hansbrough, attorney
for the defendent.
Arguments in the case were heard
Friday afternoon after an array Of
physicians had been ON the stand
testifying as to the insanity of John
son. w. A. Beakley, assisting At
torney Ralph w. Adair in the prose-
cution of the case made the first
argument. He gave a clear and con-
else review Of the case and closed
his argumen with, 1.-THE Jury must
choose between two ways; man who
commits a crime of this nature must
be punished or the stand must be
taken that anyone may choose when
he is to take his gun and kill when
he thinks he is trespassed upon.
There is no standstill in life," said

Pardon Board
Refuses To Act

At meeting of the pardon board
at Boise last week, the case of Percy
Whistler, formerly of Blackfoot, Rex
burg and Weiser, was considered.
The reporter of a Boise paper says
that district court had found him
guilty of burning confectionery
store at Weiser, despite his protest
that he had sold the store three
months before the fire, and therefore
had no interest in burning it. The
supreme court had reviewed the case
and refused to disturb the verdict of
the jury. The pardon board rendered
no decision in the matter of pardon
for Whistler.
A fire that destroyed a confection-
cry store at Blackfoot, occurred after
he had leased the store, or sold it on
the installment plan, and the pay
ments were still in process, with in
surance protecting Whistler as his in
terest appeared. A fire at Rexbrug
later, Is said to have cleaned him up
again, but, we are not Informed as to
the circumstances of the fire and
whose name the insurance was in.

Meet at Pocatello and
Go On Record In
Favor of $1,000
for Beets
MANY ARE PRESENT
Bingham County Has
Large Delegation in
Attendance

sugar beet growers of Idaho in q
meeting at Pocatello Friday endorsed
the scale Of prices adopted at the
Denver meeting Of the International
Federation of Beet Growers. The
Denver scale has for its base price,
$12 ton for beets ON q 8 cent sea-
board price for sugar with an ad-
vance Of $3.50 per ton for every cent
advance at the seaboard.
"A number of beet growers of Idaho
were In favor Of the scale adopted
by the Utah growers several weeks
ago and In vote cast 1t was found
that the growers stood five for the
Denver scale and four for the Utah
scale. On revote the Denver scale
secured six votes against three for
the Utah scale.
The Utah scale provides $11 per
ton for beets with bonus at the end
of the season Of an amount sufficient
to make up in price one and one
fourth times the average seaboard
price of each bag of sugar.
Local representatives of the Utah
Idaho Sugar company stated Monday
that a sliding scale had been offered
the beet growers at two different
seasons in the past and that both
times 1t had been refused in most
cases. Two contracts were offered,
one with the sliding scale and the
other at a standard price and only
five or six farmers accepted the slid
ing scale and all the time and money
expended in submitting this contract
was lost. The company is of the
opinion that If the sliding scale were
offered at this time 1t would be re-
Jected in the same way. 1t is ex-
pected that standard contract will
be offered the beet growers for this
seasons crop.

FIRE DESTORYS
STORE AT FIRTH
Andrus Mercantile Firm
Suffers Total Loss
in Early Morning
Blaze

Fire of mysterious origin de-
stroyed the entire stock and building
of the Andrus general store owned
by Wardell Ginger at Firth at an
early hour Sunday morning. The
loss was estimatd at $4,000 with
insurance on stock to the amount of
$4,000 and $3,500 on the building
and $4,000 use and occupancy insur-
ance.
The fire was discovered at $50 a..
m. and the entire city responded to
the alarm. A small hose was
brought into action and altho the
building of the Andrus store was too
far gone to be saved the exceptional
good work of Firth residents saved
the surrounding buildings.
Future plans of the Andrus store
have not been made public, but it is
expected that the store will be re-
built.

EAST IN GRIP OF
SPENDING SPREE
D. H. Biethan Reports
Everybody Buying in
Eastern Cities
Prices High

d. H. Biethan, who returned Sun
day evening from an extended buy
ing trip to Kansas City, Chicago and
Detroit, has word of warning to
western people, and that is: Don t
expect lower prices this year."
AS practically all returning travel
ers are telling u.s. Mr.. Biethan found
the entire east and middle west in
the grip Of mighty business frolic
and spending spree combined. In
dustrial ventures are expending, with
enthusiasm for guidance, and labor
ers are wearing gold watches and
500 suits of clothes. Prices in gen.
eral are much higher than they are
here in the west and still on the rise.
"The people have the money and
they are spending it," said Mr..
Biethan Monday morning when he
got down to his store after a months
absence, "and we needn't look for
lower prices out here when they are
boosting the prices so fast back east.
The papers are full of advertisements
of help wanted, too, and the least
offered for ordinary labor is $500 a
day.
II met one we'll dressed young
man in restaurant who had been
working for ten months in a brass
foundry at $500 day. He said he
saved $4,000 while on the job. Sal
aried folks are threatening to strike
for more money. The building trades
of Chicago are about to strike for
$1.25 an hour instead of $1.00.
Tailors who make suits are getting
from $45 to $85 a week. At the
same time the cost of materials has
also gone sky high"

Fail to Agree
on Utah Contract

In meeting at Salt Lake Cit!
held last Wednesday beet grower
and representatives of the sugar com
panies failed to agree on the pro
posed Utah sugar contract. The
Deseret News of Salt Lake City gives
an account of the meeting as follows
The committee representing the
state farm bureau of Utah and com.
mittee representing most of the
sugar factories of the state met at the
Hotel Utah Wednesday afternoon and
thoroly discussed the question of a
new contract for beets for the COM
ing campaign.
The spokesman for the farm bu-
reau was Secretary Lee R. Taylor,
who gave brief history of the origin
of the profit sharing contract pro-
posed by the bureau, which was
based ON the extract on sugar
amounting to about $50 pounds to
the ton Of beets. He said their con-
tracts were tentatively prepared from
the best information they were able
to gather, he also said they would
have been pleased to discuss the mat
ter with the manufacturers at the re-
cent convention and IL the ratio of
beet prices to sugar prices demanded
was too high or If other conditions
were not right. they would be sub
ject to discussion and such changes
made as would be necessary to reach
q just basis for a division to the pro-
ceeds Of ton of, beets between the
growers and manufacturers. He said
they, still were willing to discuss the
matter and arrive at a fair profit
sharing basis. ~
Manager Fred G. Taylor of the
Sugar Co. was the
principal spokesman for the manu-
lecturers. He gave the results of the
for the last three years
during which he said only about 200
pounds of sugar to ton of beets was
'ealized in 1919, he said the Amalga-
mated company only realized 1877
pounds to the ton and that it would
)e impossible to accept the contract
If the farm bureau. In fact he said
lis company had gone the limit in
,ffering $12 per ton. He considered
his the most hazardous contract his
company had ever issued, but he
'ould not take the responsibility of
Idvising his company to adopt a still |
more hazardous one which he con-
idered the farm bureau contract to
'e. He considered it too late this
ear to go In the question of formu-
ating any profit sharing contract. He
ecognized the justice of the princi-
lie, but said it must be based not
My on the price of sugar but on the
ontents of the beets, and it would

First in the founding and then in

He upheld our military attempt

He practically won the war single

when it was surely lost without his
