ROYAL FAMILY OF ENGLAND IS
 JUST SLIPPING
Jazz Band Invades Buching- ham Palace and Latest
 Music Is Played.

LONDON, June '. - The latest American fox trots, two steps and hesitations, played by the Buck ingham Palace Jazz Band" now are all the rage" with the royal family.
 A pianist and two violinists re- cruited from the Kings Band are the artists now entertaining new converts to ragtime and jazz.
 The music, or noise, is receiving the commendation of Queen Mary for the first time, as she has refused positively to allow these modern steps to be displayed inside the palace.
 The innovation is due to the Prin- cess Mary and the Prince of Wales, who coaxed their mother to permit them to try fox trots at an inn promptu party conducted by the Prince.
 Queen Mary at this party witness ed these dance wrinkles for the first time and promptly decided that there was nothing objectionable in them, so future dancing parties at Buckingham Palace will resemble the Palais Royal at Montmatre in- stead of quadrilles, waltzes and other dances of bygone days.
 The Prince of Wales and the Princess Mary are said to have ex- pressed desire that the latest Am erican dance melodies be obtained by. the band. Queen Mary, however, refuses to allow the modern dances to be included in the programs for state balls. .,. s s1 v

15OO ROYALIST PRISONERS SET
 FREE BY VOTE
Grant of Amnesty to Political
 Prisoners Result of Bitter Struggle.

LISBON, Portugal June 7.- About 1,500 royalist political pris- oners have been set free under the vote of the general amnesty for all such men passed by Parliament on April g. This vote was taken at the time when all Portugal was pay ing tribute to the memory of the unknown soldiers whose bodies were brought here for interment in the cathedral of Batalha.
 The grant of amnesty was the re- suit of long and bitter struggle for there has been persistent fight against it by minority of Portu- guese. Lately, however, the ma jority of public opinion all over the country was in it's favor. N The fight in its support was led in Par liament by the veteran Republican Senator, Dr. Jacinto Nunes, who is now, perhaps, the most popular person in Portugal.
 When the vote was taken in Par liament woman's voice in the gal lery raised cheer for Dr. Nunes who was so overcome by his emo- tions that he fell back in his chair weeping.
 Despite the rejoicing over the amnesty, there is much bitter com ment because it prohibits political prisoners from being. reinstated in any post they occupied before their arrest, either in the army or in pub lie office. It also permits the ban ishment from the country for cer- tain number of years of all per sons inimical to the Republic. ,

CANNOT CONFIsCATE BOOZE AUTO
Supreme Court Gives Decision Import
ant to Prohibition Enforcement.

Boundary county has, in one or two
occasions, confiscated autos found IL
legally transporting liquor. Recently
the supreme court of Idaho handed
down a decision of importance cover
ing this practice.
Where an automobile is used for
liquor transportation and the owner
is not aware of its Illegal use, the
authorities, after it's capture must re-
turn the car to its owner. This is the
supreme court opinion as expressed in
decision written by Chief Justice
William M Morgan and concurred in
by his associates, say the newspaper
reports from Boise. The case came
from Bingham county. Sheriff Naylor
sold his automobile to one Ben Muir,
but title had not passed as Muir had
not made all payments. Muir rented
the car to M. b. Sullivan, who is al
legged to have used it to transport
liquor Under the Idaho prohibition
law any vehicle unlawfully used may
be confiscated The state confiscated
the auto. Naylor brought suits for its
recovery. claiming that he was the
owner and did not know the machine
was being unlawfully used. The de-
cision is of unusual importance be-
cause large number of automobiles
have been confiscated in Idaho when
found carrying contraband. Many
autos have been sold by the authorities
at public auction and the money turned
into the county treasury.

ASKS GREATER APPROPRIATION
Forty Thousand Dollars Annually Is
Needed by State for Fire Prevention.

Stating that the minimum need OF
the state of Idaho in carrying out the
work of the forest fire prevention was
$4,000 annually letters sent out
Thursday by Governor d. w. Davis
and l. H. Nash. state land commission
err to Idaho's representatives in con-
gress urged that every means be used
in obtaining an increase in the APP
preparation of the Weeks law.
For the past few years the appro-
priation to the state of Idaho under
the Weeks law has been approximately
$4,000 for work in the entire state.
This amount, according to the COVER
nor's letter, is too small even to inter
est private cooperation. The state has
appropriated annually approximately
the sum of $4,000 for forest fire pre-
venti n work but this amount is in
adequate to meet, for instance. the
needs that arose during the season of
1919. Private corporations spend an
nually several times this amount. In
the letters sent out Thursday by the
governor and land commissioner it is
stated that "the sum of $4,000 or $780,
600 from the federal government would
be more in keeping with the public in
terest."

Asks Public Utilities Commission to
Secure Emergency Freight Rate.

The chamber of commerce of Sand
point is concerned about securing
cheaper hay for the hay users of Bon
ner county. Recently the chamber
wrote to Miles Cannon, state commits
sioner of agriculture, asking him to
secure, if possible, an emergency
freight rate on hay from southern
Idaho equal to about one-half of the
present rate. The matter was re-
ferred to the public utilities commits
sion. Leonard Way, rate expert, wrote
as follows to the Standpoint chamber:
Dear Sir-Your letter of December
%, addressed to Miles Cannon, regard
ing hay rates from south Idaho and
asking for an emergency rate equal to
about one-half of tie present rate,
stating that the present market price
is S2750, Standpoint. You also state
that hay in south Idaho sells for $3.50
to So per ton in the stack.
81 do not know anything about the
price Of hay after it is baled, but pre-
sumo that if it is worth $3.50 in the
stack it is worth $11.50 baled. The
freight rate is approximately $1,000 or
total of approximately 1927 the diff
ference between $22 and $27.50 is $3.50
profit, which looks to us to be too
great a profit compared with the
amount that the farmer gets for rails
ing his hay. If we ask the carriers
fer a half rate we feel that your deal
ers should shrink their profits propors
tionately.
IF you will kindly wire us imme-
diately upon receipt of this letter that
this viii be done, and the approximate
number of cars that might be used, we
will, Immediately upon receipt of that
telegram, wire an application to the
carriers to put into effect a half rate
OF course they may not do it, but we
will do the best we cam
