MARITAL TANCLE
RESULTS in ARREST
Matrimonial Venture
Suddenly Halted by
Mother-in-law

A sensational denouement to a
case involving divorce and matri-
monial ventures came suddenly Sun
day night in the arrest of George w.
Clark at a local hotel by Deputy
Sheriff T. B. DAILY on charges pre-
ferred by Clark's mother-in-law from
Cleveland, Ohio. The complaint
charged adultery. Clark was held in
the county Jail until satisfactory
bonds were arranged, when he was
released.
Clark has been residing in Black
foot for several months and was a
representative of a Pocatello invest
ment company. Recently his mar
riage to a Blackfoot young woman,
Mrs. Ted Green, was announced as
having occurred in Ogden, and the
couple had returned to Blackfoot to
live. Sunday former Mrs. Clark
arrived in Blackfoot from Cleveland
accompanied by her mother and
three-year-old child. She came, she
said, because she had been advised
by Clark that he was securing a
divorce, and with her child and
mother hoped to effect a reconcilia-
tion. She had no knowledge, accord
ing to her story, that a second mar
riage had been entered into by Clark
or that divorce had been granted,
and when appraised of the circum-
stances action was taken resulting in
the arrest. Clark, it is said acklowl-
edges his former marriage, but
claims to have secured divorce.
Hearing of the case has been set
for Monday

Makes Great Discovery
That Idaho is Broke
and Warrants May
be Discounted
FACTS ARE GIVEN
Republican Exposes Real
Purpose of Attack on
Administration

l. P. Mcdowell, editor of the
Idaho Leader, the Nonpartisan paper
edited in Boise and published in
Nampa, is seeking to stir up an
eleventh hour election scare, by the
use Of a letter written by Captain
D. F. Banks of the department Of
finance in which he asks the bankers
of the state to help carry the state
Indebtedness for current expenses
until the tax money gets in after the
holidays.
It has been known for a couple Of
years that the Alexander administra-
tion left the state finances in a very
bad way and the Republican admin
istration had to take a big stack Of
debts and attend to their payment.
One of the political jokes perpet-
rated by the Democratic and Nom
partisan office holders was to turn
the state government over to the Re-
publicans in the worst condition pos
sible and Governor Alexander re-
peatedly made the boast that the
finances Of the state were in such
bad way that the Republicans would
be obliged to levy heavy taxes to
meet the debts and this in turn
would make a Democratic victory
possible in 1920.
The Idaho Leader claiming a cir
culation of $4,000 copies in Idaho
is now trying to turn the trick &C
cording to Alexander's prediction.

earnestness as tho they were being
played on our own ball lot, and it
was the opinion that it was some

FORMER PRESIDENT TAFT
IN STATEMENT ON LEAGUE

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. 12.-"I
believe President Wilson has
wrecked his own league of nations

article x, because want to see a
league established. But the league
to enforce peace, of which am presi-

FARMERS FACING
BAD SITUATION
Southern Planters ir
Dire Straits-Federal
Aid Sought

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Declar
ing that farmers thruout the entir,
nation and cotton planters in par
ticular are facing one of the mos
desperate situations in the histor!
of the country, representatives O.
farmers are gathered in conference
today and decided to ask President
Wilson to call a special meeting Of
the cabinet to discuss a way out oi
their dilemma.
On the committee appointed by
Chairman Charles Barrett, of the
national board of farmers organiza-
tions to call at the White House were
the chairmen Of the various farmers
organizations present and Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia; Senator Lee
s. Overman Of North Carolina, and
Representative Gordon Lee of
Georgia. The committee will also
call on Cabinet members personally
particularly Secretary of the Treas
ury Huston.
The federal reserve board will also
be appealed to by the committee. The
only chance Of saving innumerable
farmers from ruin, it was stated at
the meeting, is that government
credits be extended to farmers, and
demand to this effect, they declared
would be framed for presentation to
the proper authorities.
Senator Overman was named as
chairman of the committee which is
to call at the White House on cabi-
net members and members Of the
federal reserve board. The presi-
dent, it was stated will be asked to
meet with his cabinet and hear the
farmers case presented.
J. J. Brown, commissioner of ag-
riculture of Georgia and ]. s. Wana-
maker of st. Mathews, S. c., head
of the American Cotton Growers AS
sociation, are taking prominent
part in the conference. The price
of cotton, Wanamaker stated, has
gone below the cost of production
and vast quantities of the staple are
being allowed to rot in the field.
In many sections of the south, he
said, crops were being burned. Else
where, where cotton had been
picked, farmers had pledged them
selves to hold it until the price rises
sufficiently to permit them to sell
it at least without loss.
Many farmers, Wanamaker said,
are so desperate that they are lit
orally on the verge of suicide. This
years cotton crop, he estimated, will
not go beyond ten million bales un-
less the government moves at once
to aid the growers.
While the plight of the cotton
growers was said to be perhaps the
most desperate of any, depending
as southern farmers do almost ex-
clusively upon the one crop for their
total annual income, farmers Of all
categories, it was stated, have been
caught in the slump. The re-estab-
lishment of the war finance corpora
tion with it's million dollar fund, was
urged as a means Of opening up the
markets of Europe to the farm prod
ucts of America, which markets are
now closed, 1t was charged, because
of the corporations failure to func-
tion."

JAP EQUALITY
MEETS DSFAVOR
League of Nations Said
to Be Against Effort
of Japan
By NEWTON C. PARKE
International News Service STAFF
Correspondent

international News Service STAFF
Correspondent
PARIS, Oct. IA careful can
vass of diplomats indicated today
that Japan will suffer a humiliatins
defeat if she attempts to force thru
a racial equality resolution at the
first meeting of the assembly Of the
league of nations at Geneva next
month.
Inquiry by the International News
Service among the diplomats of the
powers invited to attend the meet
ing shows that there will bea clear
majority against Japan if an effort
is made to settle the immigration
problem in favor of the Pacific en-
pire. What is more significant, not
a representative of any power will
admit either publicly or privately
that his country will support Japan.
Allowance must be made for the
fact, however, that diplomats some
times voluntarily hide the real in
tentions Of the country they repre-
sent.
All the indications are that Japan
will be beaten by a three-fourths
vote If she attempts to put thru
resolution calling for equality of ma
tionals.
Viscount Ishii, former foreign
minister of Japan and now the Jap
anese ambassador to France, ad-
mitted to the International News
Service that he is going to Geneva
as one of the representatives of. his
country. Viscount Ishii is known as
an able diplomat and one of the
"strong men" among Japanese
statesmen.
Asked if he would present a reso-
luton demanding racial equality
Vissount Ishii replied:
III have not yet received any in
from my government re-
garding questions which should
figure in the order of the day at
Geneva"
1t is learned from an authoritative
source that Japan has already been
Informed that she would certainly
meet with defeat If she attempted
to have the racial equality resolution
passed. Japan was advised not to
make any attempt to have the i'm
migration resolution settled in her
favor at this time, particularly when
The United States is aroused over the
question.
Despite the friendly advice of
,hese powers, the Japanese are still
to obtain votes to sup
port some sort of mild resolution
10 save the face of the government
in power at Toxic. The line up
against a racial equality" resolu-
ion probably would be: Argentia,
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Australia,
India, New Zealand, South Africa,
Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Denmark,
Greece, Guatemala, Holland, Nor
way, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Po-
and, Salvador, Sweden and Uruguay,
| total of twenty-three of the thirty
eight nations voting at Geneva.
The United states not being
member Of the league of nations
would not have a vote. England,
trance, Italy and Roumania are
,autious about taking sides and are
It present working for harmony, but
here is little question that their at
itude of several other nations would
,e against a strong resolution.
Representatives of some of the
.bove powers express sympathy for
'apan but oppose the proposed reso-
ution on the ground that the United
states would interpret its adoption
IS an act of hostility.
