STOLEN CAR;
REWARD
Idaho County Sheriff to Re
ceive 800 for Recovery
of Machine

Claiming a reward of 500 offered for
the recovery of the machine, Sheriff
W. H. Eller has found an S-cylinder
touring ear, the property of Frank
White, of Charleston, and the car
has been returned to its owner.
Sheriff Eller, after diligent search,
discovered the car, abandoned, in
Icicle fiat, west of Ferdinand. The
automobile, which had been driven
many miles, was slightly damaged.
The car was stolen from Lewiston,
and driven to Camas Prairie. Sheriff
Eller first hit the trail of the auto
mobile thieves when he interviewed
persons who had seen them digging
The car from haystack, in which it
had been concealed near Nezperce.
Three days later, he learned that the
car was seen passing down the White
bird grade. Unable to locate the ma
chine in the Salmon river country,
he next took up the trail from Fem,
where the thieves had halted to pur-
chase gasoline. By reason of pc
cular tread on the tires, tho sheriff
was able to follow the tracks of the
car from Fem to Denver, thence to
Cottonwood, and on to Icicle fiat,
where he found the machine, but the
driver had left the ear
Sheriff Eller has been assured he will
receive a reward of 800 offered by
Mr.. White for return of the car

CLAIMING
To BE But 10
HELD IN JAIL
Said to Have Got SIG in
Cash on Checks from Eight
Grangeville Business Houses
Nabbed in Kamiah by Sher-
iffJand Landed in Prison;
Charge Is False Pretenses

After having passed eight alleged
bogus checks, totaling $40, on Grange
vile business houses, Clarence Ulrich,
who claims to be 10 years old, was
arrested in bed at Kamiah, early
Tuesday morning, by Sheriff w. Fl.
Eller, after a chase from Grange
vile to Sites, thence to Kamiah.
Ulrich is held in the county Jail in
Grangeville, charged with Containing
money and personal property by false
pretenses and representations.
Complaint against Ulrich was fled
by W. II. Badgero, proprietor of the
Fair Store, in Grangeville, and one
of the victims of the alleged check
artist
Seven other persons, from whom
Ulrich is said to have collected sums
ranging from SO to $40, have up to
the present time made no complaint
against the man.
Ulrich, who says his home is in
Seattle, has been employed as
harvest hand ON Camas Prairie. He
came to Grangeville last Saturday
and on that day and on Sunday
passed what are said to have been bo-
gus checks. He is said to have made
the checks payable to another person,
at the same time affixing the name
of a supposed maker, and then indoors
ed the checks with the name of the
payee, signing his own name below
the first Endorsement. Checks were
passed by Ulrich, it is claimed on p.
M. Granville, J. j. Lamm, T. S. Jack
son, Observation-Disclosures company,
w. II. Badgero, Imperial hotel, Hub
store and the Idaho hotel.
Sheriff Eller declared. while III
rich insists he is only 10 years old,
it is his belief he is several years
older. When Ulrch was arrested by
the sheriff he had only 25 cents in
his possession. The sheriff is working
on additional information he has pro
cured during the last few days, and
it is possible that further matters Incl
dent to the check deal will soon be
disclosed.

Republican Platform

Herewith is the state platform adopt
ed by the Republican convention in
session last week in Poeatello:
We, the Republicans of Idaho, in
convention assembled, looking with
confidence and assurance to the future
of our great party, glorying in its
past achievements and realizing that
the future welfare of our nation de-
mands the return of the Republican
party to power in the nation, do here
by adopt the following resolutions
and platform embodying the princi-
pies of the Republicans of Idaho.
We approve and indorse the 1920
Republican platform adopted by the
Chicago convention and we believe
that the future of our country de-
mands constructive legislation in &C
cordance with the provisions made
in the platform.
We are proud of the selection of
Harding and Coolidge as our stand
ard bearers. We pledge the unswerv-
ing support of the Republicans of
Idaho to Harding and Coolidge in the
coming election.
GOVERNMENT OF PROGRESS
The success of the Republican can
didates for president and vice presi.
dent in the coming election means a
government of progress based upon
law and on the constitution of the
United States, and which viii keep
sacred the traditions of our forefa
theirs which have so safely guided us
over a century and a quarter of ma
tional existence. We believe that our
foreign policy should be guided by
the wisdom handed down to us in the
past by such patriots as Washington,
Jefferson, Monroe, Lincoln, McKin
lev and Roosevelt. We contend that
no principle enunciated in the Dec
laration of Independence or our ma
tional Constitution shall be abrogated
or modified without the consent of
the American people and we rs Repub-
Leans, congratulate the people of the |
United States upon having for their |
nominee of president Senator Harding, |
who will in no wise surrender any of |
the principles thus enunciated at the |
and urgent demands of |
foreign governments. We believe that |

INTERESTS OF PEOPLE

Man s first duty is the protection
of his home and family. On the same
principles the statesman's first con-
Germ should be the home interests of
his home people. America for Ameri-
cans has always been a Republican
slogan and we as, Republicans of
Idaho, hereby pledge all nominees
for congress to policy which will
always keep the home fires burning
and which will look for the prosperity
of the United States and idaho against
the rest of the world.
At this time when prices being paid
to our agriculturist for his products
are in most instances below the cost
of production and large foreign i'm
ports. especially of wool and meat are
flooding our already demoralized
markets, and threatening widespread
disaster to our principal home indus
tries. we demand that an emergency
embargo be placed by congress on all
such foreign imports at the earliest
possible date end such embargo to be
retained until our home market
prices are stabilized to a point at least
equal to the cost of production and we
further demand that such legislation
shall be enacted as viii give our home
PRODUCERS and manufacturers and
iaborers an equal opportunity when
measured against world competition.
We indorse the enforcement of all
laws. both state and national without
fear or favor to any person or class.
As Republicans we encourage
thrift and the habit of saving in our
citizens. A wise and just national
and state administration will aid our
citizens to conserve their earnings in
order to further bring to the homes
of the common people the benefits OF
our national wealth and national re-
courcas

New York. March 3t.--Bull pools aud
speculative combinations were in abso
lutte control Of today's stock market.
These operations were extended in al
most every direction. except among the
railroad shares. which were relatively
heavy, Little or no attention was paid
to the continued irregularity of the
foreign exchange market or the 3 per
cent renewal rate for call loans. There
was little actual news to influence the
| trading much in either direction. The
majority of the professional trading con =
tingent were outwardly bearisb aud in
clined to play hard for q reaction. The
severe drubblipg. however, received by
the short interest in Stutz Motor, Cru
chile Steel and other recognized pool
shares, made the bear crowd more
cautious. This made the market rather
thin both ways and while il went down
quite easily at times il recovered Just
easily. AS a matter of fact the days
operations differed little from those Of
the immediate preceding session, except
that interest was concentrated more in
| the pool issues.
The early trading was cnlvened by
another skyshooting rise in Stutz Motor
dominated by pool interests also were
substantially higher. General Motors
and Cruciblc Steel advancing aud ~
points respectively. Selected issues in
the motor. oil, steel, equipment and
shipping divisions were takru up iudi-
vidually at different intervals aud given
substantial advances extending from
to 4 points. which were subject to
occasional setbacks on realizing sales,
These demonstrations were supplement
ed by vigorous rise iu the utility
shares, which embraced Wells Fargo
and United States Express and which
was accompanied by rumors of pros
pective stock dividends.
Trading became quiet at midday. but
the market yielded little of the morning
advaucwe. In fact. the popular stccls.
equipments and shipping shares were
considerably over the best quotations
of the forenoon. Nanadian Steel. Chi
cago Pneumatic Tool. Baldwin Locomo
tive and Atlantic Gulf and West Indies
were the chief features at extreme gains
of 3 to points.

PRICES HOLD FIRM
ON LOCAL CHANGE
Slight Increase in Volume OF
Business-Tractions Attract
Attention

A slightly increased volume of busi-
ness marked the opening on the local cx-
change this morning. with prices holding
generally steady. The most pronounced
feature of the early dealings was a sale
OF a block Of American Gas, which lost
two points on the turnover.
The shares OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road came IN for a good deal Of atten'
tion. some 700 shares changing hands at
around recent levels. Lebigh Valley,
selling OK dividend. gained a half on a
small lot.
The traction issues attracted some
interest. with Union Traction sacrificing
X at 1914 on sale of some 200 shares.
United Gas Improvement, also selling
ex dividend. was up full point.
The Liberty issues were the most
active in the bond section Of the ex-
change. although price changes were
unimportant.
The money situation is still regarded
with good deal Of confidence partly
because Of the recent arrival of gold
from Europe and knowledge Of other
shipments now on the way or 10 pros
pect. and 1t was thought that before
long this gold movement will enter into
the financial situation and exert an
extremely favorable influence.
