stroke about two and one-half

husbands illness, Mrs. Allen left for
California, but upon arriving at Po-
catello she was informed Of his
death and returned to Boise.
Allen was elected state treasurer
of Idaho in 1910 and held office for
two terms. He was nominated for
a third term, but examiners for his
bonding company found shortage
of $4,000 in his office. He was con-
fronted with the shortage and
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
serve from five to ten years in the
state penitentiary.
Fred Coleman, the deputy in Of
fee, pleaded guilty to the embezzle-
ment Of $4,000 and was sentenced
to serve from two and a half to five
years. He was pardoned before
serving his minimum sentence. Allen
was pardoned after having served
his minimum term.
He was engaged in business at
Logan when he was stricken with

COUNCIL DISCUSSES
THE CITY BUSINESS
More Dissension Over
aving Problems
and Requirements

Mrs. Tanner has claim for dam
ages for personal injury which she
attributes to improper condition OF
the sidewalk during construction
work. 1t was referred to the city
attorney. :,
Representatives of steel manufact-
urers were present and said they
were now able to sell steel pipe at a
discount of Is per cent from the
prices heretofore made to the city.
They were informed that this was
good news as far as it went, but the
council were hoping for further re-
ductions before buying.
The question Of paving Lincoln
street was discussed and referred to
the street and alley committee to
report on January II.
The street and alley committee re-
ported upon the specifications for
concrete paving and recommended
that there be no change made in the
specifications now written into the
Advertisements for bids.
Some of the business men think
the town needs another night patrol
man to more effectively guard
against burglary, and that is under
consideration, to be reported on at
the next meeting.
George B. Stone, representative of
the Portland Cement association ad-
dressed the council attempting to
show that specifications as written
are not competitive, that they would
have the bitulithic contractors bid on
Calss &C" paving and the cement
paving contractors bid on Glass "A"

FARMERS RELIEF
BILL LPASSED OVER
PRESIDENTS VETO
Senate Passes Emer.
gency Act; House
Expected to Dupli-
cate Action

WashingtOn.-Veto by Presiden,
Wilson on January of the farmers
relief bill to revive the war finance
corporation was followed almost i'm
Inediately by vote of 53 to 5 in the
senate to make the bill a law despite
executive disapproval.
1t is predicted that the house will
duplicate the senate's action, making
the bill law.
President Wilson, in veto message,
declared he withheld his approval be-
cause the war finance corporation was
a war credit agency, not desirable or
needed in peace times. He said it
would exert no beneficial influence
on the situation-wOuld raise false
hopes among the people who would
expect most, and would be hurtful to
the natural and orderly processes of
business and finance"
The legislation, he also said, would
result in additional credit burdens,
and the government, he contended,
should not be "called upon further to
finance private business at public ex-
pense." Referring to widespread de-
mand for adjustment of war agencies
and removal of governmental influ-
ence from business, the president said
he had sympathy with this view, "and
added that the nation should resume
Its usual business methods"
Upon reading of the veto message,
Senator Underwood of Alabama,
Democratic leader, urged its immediate
fW which unanimous
was secured by Chairman
Gronna of the agricultural committee.
Senator Underwood followed with the
only address, declaring financial dis
tress now was. greater than during the
war and that he felt confident of wise
administration of the proposed law
that would cause ''no undue drain on
the treasury"
On the roll call twenty-nine Demo
Gratis were Joined by twenty-four Re-
'ublicans in overriding the veto. ..

FIRTH fire DOES
$4,000 DAMAGE
Belcher Building Total
Loss-P artly Covered
by Insurance

Fire broke out Wednesday morn
ing in the Belcher restaurant at Firth
and did about $4,000 worth of dam
age. 1t started by the explosion of
kerosene lamp and burned Frank
Belcher about the face and neck. The
Belcher building and contents were
total loss, the First National Bank
building next to it on the south was
damaged considerable in one wall
and the roof and the scale house and
office of Orton Andrus on the north
was destroyed. The Boyle-Slayton
Hardware company furnished $50
buckets and coal scuttles and a
bucket brigade was formed to fight
the fire. All of the fixtures were
removed from the bank building and
set out in the street.
A call was put in for aid from the
Blackfoot fire department, but all
they could have done would have
been to go the scene with the chemi-
cal engine and exhaust their tanks
and quit. This would have left
Blackfoot without fire protection and
would have been risk that not all
persons would be willing to take
after supplying a fire fighting ap-
paratus.
The Belcher building and con-
tents were valued at about $4,000
with insurance Of $500. The bank
building was fully insured and the
loss, is estimated at $500. There
was no insurance on the Andrus
building and 1t is total loss. The
total loss to the three buildings and
contents was $4,000 with q total
insurance Of $4,000.
