DAMAGE nv FROST
rs REPORTED LIGHT

Clinton Il. Norquest, head OF the
DoIse United States weather office,
said Tuesday that further investiga-
tons here disclosed the fact that Sun
day nights frost did not kill as much
OF the lruit In Boise valley and sur
rounding territory as fruitmen at
first estimated.
While the frost undoubtedly took
many OF the aprlcots, peaches and
sweet cherries. most OF the apples and
prunes escaped. and probably great
many Of the former named fruit Will
DO found not to have been damaged
AZ the season advances. Mr.. Nor
quest said.
Although the temperature lowered
around the freezing point Tuesday
night no damage TO fruit was rePort-
ed and slight frost was reported only
in restricted areas.
The lowest point which the Their
mometer registered at the Boise
office ON Monday night was 80 de-
grees, degrees above freezing
The possibility OF frost on Tuesday
night was reported as being slight al
though Mr.. Norquest predicted that
the thermometer would drop danger
ously near the freezing point.
Apples and prunes, the commercial
fruit crop Of the Boise valley and
southern idaho have not been hurt
TO any great extent BY the Sunday
night freeze, said the Capital News
Tuesday. Crop estimates made by
growers who spent yesterday examin-
ing their orchards, placed their fig
ures at from 80 to 80 percent OF nor
NAL crop for prunes and declare that
apples did not seem to have been
much more damaged.
Late Boone, one of the big prune
growers of the Boise valley, stated to-
day that prunes being in full bloom
would withstand considerable
freeze and from an extensive eXami-
nation OF his orchard he stood ready
TO predict 100 per cent prune crop
ut his ranch.
| Clinton L.. Norquest, meterologist
of the United States weather bureau,
announced today that he had talked
1 VIII BOou many lEulL BEOWers IN
the Boise valley and 1t was the con-
census Of opinion among them that
prunes and apples nad withstood the
freeze although other fruits had suf-
fered considerable loss.
/ The cloudy weather following the
4 freeze, accompanied by light rains in
various sections was favorable to or
| chards and Is believed to have beer
i the salvation OF the apple crop and
also prevented the killing of all the
cherry blossoms
Monday night was not nearly as
i cold Tuesday morning at 6 O'Clock
the mercury stood at 20 degrees the
coolest in "a hours The outlool
ahead is bright with forecast fol-
fair aud warmer weather tonight ant

WALLS-EMORY
 BILL IS PASSED
LANDSLIDE IN SENATE FOR MEASURE REQUESTING COR
 PORATION COMMISSION.

Shattering under the sledge hammer argument of proponents of the meas ure. opposition 10 the Walls-Emory bill. which provides from the abolish ment of the Arkansas Corporation Com mission and the substitution of rail- road commis ssion, fell away fragment by fragment yesterday and the bill which had been under consideration since Tuesday morning was passed by Il vote of 27 to '.
 The breakup started al the morning session, when Senator McCabe after the failure of his motion to place the bill back on second reading for the pur- pose of amendment, came out in favor of the measure. Later, Senator Vaughan, who had been accounted an opponent of the bill, announced that he was "51 per cent for it
 While careful check-up of the Sen ate membership week ago showed a majority in favor of the bill, authors of the measure Tuesday claimed a major ity of only two of seven votes. Esti- mates were that the proponents strength would be from IS to21 votes, and no landslide in favor of the motion was expected.
 Following the announcement of the passage of the bill, Senator Jackson moved to reconsider the vote and to lay that motion on the table. The mo- tion carried, and the bill cannot be brought up again except upon two thirds vote of the Senate-Gazette.

A, and that in all Gklihood, it will be staged not stones throw from Manha ttan. Rickard also said that be knew nothing about Charles E. Coch- ran changing his mind about eontinu- ing as an associate ill the arrangements for the big bout and that rhe bout would go to England.
 "I can't understand why such fuss is being made about this contest" said Tex today. "I have the two boxers under contract. l have lived up to all obliga tions, and as I have repeat atedly said, will go through with the program as originally arranged. William A. Brady has withdrawn and l have ac- cepted him as the legal representa- tive of Charles R. Cochran. Brady has as- sured me that Cochran is out to stay However, if Mir Cochran has changed his mind and wants to play. I will be glad to have him with me"
 If there is any more hitch over the arrangements, I think we better send for Bob Edgren, who has been appoint ed sole arbitrator. The legal docu- ments transferring the interests of Messrs Brady and Cochran will be duly executed in few days and then I will be prepared to proceed with all the nee essary details The bout will not go to London. you can rest assured on that.

 BILL.

 F. w. Balbraith, national command CT, reported that he had been assured by Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Finance Committee, that the bonus bill would be reported out of committee and probably would be passed at this session. Members of the Legion Committee also expressed belief that all measures for the relief of disabled veterans, would be enacted, including an increase from S33 100000 to $45.OOO,OO0 for the maintenance of hospitals provided in the sundry civil bill
 Criticism of government bureaus,  launched by Abel Davis of Chicago, chairman of the legion's Hospitaliza- ton Committee, followed u committee report urging the consolidation of the War Risk Insurance Bureau and a part of the Public Health Service. He de claired that the chiefs of these agen- cies do not nork together, and resent the activities of the legion in attempt ing to obtain relief for disabled veter- ans and had packed" committees of the legion with employees of the bureaus who were legion members, in efforts to handicap the work of the committee.
 As result of his charges, the FIX ecutive Committee adopted resolu- tion recommending to state organiza- tions that no bureau employees be ap- pointed to legion committees
 Disabled men are being kept in pri- vate and state hospitals that are in describably filthy and where condi- tions are terrible" Mir. Davis said All hospitals are crowded, and men often are taken in by private and state hos pitals because they are disabled service men and often are forced to sleep on cots in railways or in crowded wards, he said-Gazette.
