she fact that this witness had been
located in New Orleans. he declined 10
comment.
Mr.. Whitman also refused to discuss
the matter under investigation by Mr.
King. He would not even admit that II

other than Manhattan.
The stipulation of immunity granted
to Detective Sergeant Armstrong yes

FRENCH PATRIOT AND AMERICAN FIGHTER

Georges Carpenter enlisted in the French army IN
August, 1914, less than a week after the declaration OF
war, as a private soldier; was wounded during the first
month of fighting, and spent four months In a base hos
pital, and returned to the army AS a member OF the AVA
ton corps. He learned to fly, and was in active service
up to the 18th of November, 1913, He took part in a
number of fights during that four years, but the business
Of his life was ~repellng the German invadyers.
William Henry Harrison Dempsey also made a great
record as a fighter during those same years.; but not with
the world war, $4,000 miles away" He went through all
the best pugilist camps in Idaho and Nevada, then went
to the West coast, and repeated, and at the time OF the
draft secured a "remunerative position in a %shipyard.
He was also of great assistance, during his twenty-second
wear, in raising money for the Red Gross.
In the fight that is to come off today Nat Jersey City
between these representatives of the fistic art, we do not
believe that it is necessary to exhibit any narrow section
alism in hoping for a winner. We believe that the title
will be Just as safe in the hands of a French patriot as in
the hands of the American who now holds it.

THE LAND OF THE FREE

For 145 years the birthday of this nation has been
celebrated with noise and rejoicing; on that day we have
put all care behind us and with Qualifications and sports
have rejoiced that we lived in the freest and greatest ma
ton on earth. That We as a people had a voice in the
making of the laws under which we live and that our
government was headed by one of us, a country lawyer,
or the editor Of a small town newspaper. That our people
were possessed of more opportunities and more initiative
than any other people on earth. And the proof that we
are such comes from those who set our institutions most
at naught. Big Bill Haywood has notified the Depart
ment of Justice that he will return from Russia and serve
his sentence at Le%avenworth. 1t were better to be in jail
in America than a high officer of the government in Rus
STA. Jack Johnson had "a similar feeling when he returned
voluntarily from Mexico that he might serve out a jail
sentence and again be permitted to live in the land OF the
free.

WE MUST BE CAREFUL

Idaho is getting an immense amount Of free advertls-
ing from the fact that 1913 families will leave Brooklyn,
New York, in July, travelling in automobiles, to settle on
farm land in Idaho. 1t is a fact that many people have
been very successful farmers in Idaho, but it is also a Tact
that nearly all of us had to learn entirely new methods OF
farming, and that there were mary discouTagements dur
ing our first few years in the State. With the Fasteners
coming in, many of them ignorant of farm life, it will be
more than necessary for the land promoters and the State
officials, who are assisting them in this pilgrimage, to be
more than careful that they don't give this good new State
a new reputation similar to the one it received at the time
of the failure of its numerous Carey act projects. There
are people all over the Middle West whose savings were
absorbed in irrigation projects that should have never
been permitted to solicit settlers, and those people have
held the state in contempt ever since. We must not re
peat that old failure of a great scheme.

Appeal for Mountain Time for South
Idaho

Senator Gooding and Representa-
tive Smith Tuesday had a hearing
before the House interstate com
e committee on the Smith bill
restoring southern Idaho, west Of Po-
c~atello, to Mountain time.
Senator Gooding said the farmers
and people generally, as we'll as the
railroads, want southern Idaho back
ON Mountain time, to which it had
been accustomed though the long
years of usage, and said the people
affected should be first considered in
suoh matters.
Representative Smith told the com
mittee that commercial bodies of
southern Idaho, as we'll as the Idaho
public utilities commission, favored
his bill, they having failed to con-
vince interstate commerce commits
sion during its hearing at Boist last
September that restoration of old
time should be ordered.

Short Skirts for Service

me short skirt is here to stay.
The emancipation of women's legs
from an interfering and troublesome
garment is almost if not quite com
plete. Any man who has to wear
an ulster for several weeks while
walking, and then with warm wealth
er has thrown it off for a light over
coat that does not fall below the
knees will understand why.
Short skirts give feminine under
pdnning a distinct experience of
freedom almost equal to that of the
trousers of their brothers. They
like it. The sense of exposure which
at first embarrassed them has dis
appeared. Ankles are no longer sin
ful. Open opportunity for open
walking from the knees down has
been openly arrived at. 1t marks
genuine progress in feminine liberty
OF action, as distinct an advance in
conventional form as the dropping
Of the face wells by the Turkish
women or the unbound feet of the
Chinese. And may the American
women never have to go back to the
clogging, dust and germ gathering
long skirts.

New Decision Hits Employees on 2l0
Roads

Employees on virtually every rail
road in the county will feel the IL
per cent rage reduction ordered by
the United States labor board to take
effect July /, following a supple
mental decision Monday extending
the order to nearly 100 additional
roads.
The wage slash authorized by the
board on June l, to take effect next
Friday, originally contemplated IA
railroads, although not all employees
were affected on all roads. Mon
days addendum to that decision i'm
cludes 210 roads, many of which
were parties to the original decision,
but which returned to ask reduc-
lions for classes of labor not COW
cred In the first order.
Basing its figures ON the normal
number of employees on all roads
affected by decision No. 2, the labor
board recently estimated that its IL
per cent reduction would lop approx
imately $40O,0 900 from the nations
railroad wage bill, If applied to all
employees.

wrapped in plain white paper, tied

started to open 1t. The removal of
the paper revealed small pasteboard

was released. and as Blanchard lifted
the lid he heard a familiar noise, which
brought back the days when he was
O. bomber In the British army. He
hurled the box through the open bath
room door and ran from the room. The
bomb exploded in the doorway, two
fragments hitting the valet in the
back.
The ambassador. his daughter-in

7-year-old son were just at this time
ascending the stairway, preparatory
to entering Mr.. Herrick's suite
Blanchard came running out as the

Blanchard then collapsed and wat
