WOULD PUT K|bOSH ON
 THE PINK TEAS
Wadsworth Bill Contains Echo of Days When U. s. Officers Staged Dress Pa rade at Capital
BY GEORGE B. WATERS

 Washington, D. c. During the war there was much talk about army officers swarming to the national capital. There was talk about pink teas in the afternoons at the Will lard and of the dress parades on Penn sylvania avenue and F street. Con- gressman Cannon sarcastically re- marked that they wore spurs to keep their feet from sliding off the mahog- any desks.
 The Wadsworth bill for the reorgan- iZatiOn of the army, now pending, con : tains an echo of those fighting days. It says:
 Unless the president declares that an emergency exists which requires otherwise, no officer assigned to or commissioned in the infantry, cavalry, field artillery, coast artillery corps, corps of engineers. signal corps, or the air corps shall be placed on duty in the District of Columbia or the headquar- ters of an territorial department, ex- cept with troops stationed thereat, for a period of more than three months, unless the preceding seven years he shall have actually served two years on duty with a troop, company, bat tery, battalion. squadron, regiment, brigade, division, army corps, or army or other corresponding organization, or with the training forces" A proviso is that this shall not pre- vent an officer being placed on duty at any of the several service schools. This is in the bill approved by the American legion.

The Englishman waded in at fast clip as the third and last session opened, offering rights and lefts to head and body without dam aging return and at the end of about a minute, caught the St. Paul lad with a stiff right to the jaw. Ertle's hands dropped to his side and a second later he reeled and fell to the canvas. stretched out at full length, and was counted out. He endeavored to rise, but couldn't make the effort in the prescribed time. Wilde weighed 1OSI F pounds and Ertle 115 at 9 o'clock in the afternoon

The blow that stopped Ertle was a right hand blow to the jaw which fol- lowed a straight left to the face.
 The Briton appeared to greater ad- vantage tonight than he did a few weeks ago when he met Jack Sharkey of New York, and lost the newspaper decision.
 Wilde was the first to land in the opening session. He peppered away with several straight lefts. Mike got in some good right and left blows to head and body but apparently did not bother the Englishman.
 In the second round Wilde scored with right and left blows to head and body at will and leaned away from

NEWBERRY TRIAL Is
 NEAR SECOND STAGE
IRepubrican A. p. Leased wirel


 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. 29-- The second stage in the conspiracy trial of 123 Michigan republican lead CTS who campaigned successfully with United States Senator Truman H. Newberry in the 1918 senatorial cam paign, was in sight when the federal district court session ended late today. Six peremptory challenges had been accepted and the fact that ten only such challenges remained made it cer- tain that at least two of the 12 men in the jury box would hold their seats. The advance guard of the 500 or more witnesses summoned by the govern ment are in Grand Rapids and attor- neys are preparing opening statements.
 Attorneys for both the government and the defense felt free to predict that Fridays sessions would see the finish of the jury selection process.
 The government used two of it's six peremptory challenges at the after noon session today and the defense four of it's ten. It will be the govern ment's turn to challenge when court opens tomorrow.
 Tonight the panel consisted of five farmers, four store keepers. a grain dealer, a bank cashier and a manager of a farmers cooperative selling con- cern.

FARM BUREAU WILL
FIGHT SQUIRRELS
ELABORATE CAMPAIGN OUT.
LINED FOR WORK IN LATAH
COUNTY-BUY POISON

The executive committee and the
squirrel project committee of the
Farm Bureau met together on Sat-
urday, February FL, and made plans
for the campaign against squirrels
which will be carried on by the Farm
Bureau this spring. The executive
committee voted to increase it's
strychnine order from 1000 ounces to
240O ounces. This committee also
authorized the president and secre-
tary of the Farm Bureau to borrow
sufficient money to finance the pur-
chase of this large supply of strych-
nine alkaloid and the saccharine to
go with it. Poison supplies will be
sold at cost to Farm Bureau mem
bers and other interested farmers.
The project committee voted to
hold a series of poison mixing and
demonstration meetings so that every
interested community may be reach
ed. Poisoned oats will be prepared
and poison supplies distributed at
these meetings. Ever farmer wish
ing supplies will be expected to~at-
tend the meeting for his section and
get his poison and saccharine at that
time. A small lot of supplies will
be left with the community project
leader so that he may distribute these
to those farmers who were unable to
attend the meeting or who did not
get sufficient poison at the first
meeting.
The county commissioners have
worked out plan whereby squirrels
on, all neglected farms or other land
will be poisoned by the county and
charged to the land and collected
with the taxes. An act passed by the
last legislature gives them author
ty to do this.
AS soon after March first as squir-
.els appear, meetings will be held in

with whom Abel had trouble, is the
belief expressed following examination
of the body recently in an undertaking

on Big creek ninety miles to Cascade
and thence was taken to Nampa, fol
preparation for transportation to Wal
la Walla, where it was buried. Early
reports were that Abel had been gOred
to death by a bull.
Warrants For Arrests.
Reports reaching the Free Press
within the last few days declare q
case has been built up around circum-
stantlal evidence, and that warrants
have been issued for arrests in con-
nection with the killing of Abel.
DR.. Ben f. Hill, who was sent to
Cascade by Masons of Walla Walla to
investigate the killing and take charge
of the body, met at Cascade the party
of men who went to Big creek to re-
move the body. The body was thawed
out in the establishment of a Nampa
undertaken, and after eight hours was
in perfect condition, appearing as
though life had become extinct only a
few hours before.

Two men then went to Abel's ranch

a narrow blunt instrument, with which
Abel had been hit three times over the
