SENATE COMMITTEE DENIES
REQUEST OF HENRY FORD
Committee Refuses to Hear More Evil
dcnce Regarding the New
berry Case

Washington. - Requests of Henry
Ford's counsel that more evidence be
heard in his contest for the seat of
Senator Newberry. Republican, of
Michigan, were denied by the senate
committee conducting the hearings
and trial stages of the case were in
effect terminated.
Chairman Spencer's formal ruling,
referring to the Ford demand for per-
mission to go into the bank accounts
of Lyman d. Smith, new York bro
ker who helped finance the Newberry
campaign, drew an equally formal dis
sent from Senator Walcott of Della
ware, Democrat. Mr.. Walcott said
that he would probably ask that SEN
ator Newberry be called in his own
case, but wanted TO reserve the matter
for later decision.
Judge Muffin, representing Senator
Newberry, offered no testimony when
Alfred Lucking, counsel for Mr.. Ford,
announced their last witness had been
heard under the committees ruling.
He inserted into the record some of
the transcript Of evidence taken In the
criminal proceedings against the New,
berry campaigners last year and
stopped with that indicating that he
would not even seek opportunity for
argument.

FrscAL AGENT FOR STATE NAMED
Second Effort Will Be Made To Sell
S2,000,000 Highway Bonds.

State Treasurer Daniel f. Banks has
announced the appointment of a fiscal
agent for the state of Idaho for the
purpose of securing a bidder for the
100000 state highway bonds, fourth
issue, which were offered for sale on
Wednesday, June Is, without success.
The bonds will be re-advertised, he
said, with a call for bids to be opened
on July 6.
After the bids were opened last
Thursday, it was found that no offer
could be accepted for the bonds, al
though very advantageous disposition
was made of the state treasury notes
in the sum of $S50,000 offered at the
same time. The latter mature in one
year and bear interest at the rate of
z per cent, while the bonds are for 20
years, bearing only per cent
The Palmer Bond and Mortgage
company Of Salt Lake presented a bid
which Mr.. Banks said at the time was
possessed of merit, though not within
the legislative appropriation for the
expense of securing sale of the
bonds. 1t is this firm which has been
named as fiscal agent, and which will
endeavor to find bidder for the bonds
by July who can take them at the
terms specified in the acts authorizing
their issue.
Appointment of the fiscal agent was
made, Mr.. Banks said, in compliance
with chapter Sc of the session laws of
1921, providing that way of disposing
of the highway bonds, and in carrying
out the opinion of the supreme court
in the mandamus proceeding brought
TO test the validity of the act. But the
appointment will not interfere with the
receipt or acceptance of bids from any
other prospective purchasers or fiscal
agents, he added. If a better offer
should be made for the bonds than the
Palmer company can secure and within
the terms of the appropriation, it will
be accented.

London.-A dispatch to the. London
Times from Rome says that Pope
Benedict's criticism of Great Brltain's
policy In Palestine, as outlined by the
pontiff Monday in his allocution to
the secret consistory, caused a con-
siderable sensation in diplomatic and
other quarters. 1t is maintained, says
the dispatch, that diplomacy has had
few instances of such plain speaking
as the pope's appeal to the nations to
insist that the league OF nations ex.
<znine into the British mandate.

High-class Fish Stories

Enthusiastic fishermen are telling
very good stories these days now that
the season is open-and not only are
telling them but seem to be "produc-
ing the goods" J A. Worley recently
caught in Smiths Lake six trout of
unusual size, one 16 inches long, four
from 20 to % inches, and one 2712
inches. Last Sunday o. F. Howe sue
ceeded in landing 16 inch Rainbow
caught in the Moyie. Dad" says he
had no trouble at all in landing his
fine catch because just as soon as the
fish saw who had hooked him he swan
right over to the bank and sur
rendered John Hanson was also one
of the lucky nimrods Sunday and
caught a three pound bass at Perkins
Lake This is said to be an unusually
large bass for this section.

Age In Idaho

Washington, d. G. June 10-Accord-
ing to the census 1873 per cent, or more
than one-third of the people in the
state of Idaho are either infants or
children under is years of age; SO
per cent are youths or maidens Is to
10 years old; 374 per cent, nearly
two-fifths, are men and women in the
prime of life, being from 20 to Al years
old; while 1873 per cent, being As years
of age and over, are well along in mid
die life if they have not reached old
age.
The urban population as compared
with the rural shows some rather
striking differences in age, the per-
centage 20 to A years of age being
40.6 for the urban population as COM
pared with 1862 for the rural, while
the percentage under Is years of age
is 304 in the urban population as
against 37.2 in the rural. These diff
ferences may indicate larger families
of children in the country than in the
city, but probably indicate also the
fact that country children, as they
grow up have tendency to flock to
the cities thereby increasing the active
adult population Of the cities at the ex-
pense Of the rural districts.
A little over one-half of the popuIa-
ton, 542 per cent, are old enough to
vote, being 81 or over; and in this
class the men outnumber the women in
the ratio of 1871 to 100. The males of
or fighting age, Is to A, con-
stitute 400 per cent of the male popu-
lation and 22.2 per cent of the total

Especial Correspondence


Sterling, Ill, Nov. ia robber
broke into the office of ex-State' s
Attorney J. J. Ludens last night,
gaining an entrance by smashing
the glass in the door with his fist.
He did not take anything but left
a note as follows: Il tried to get
downstairs. Jake Ludens is a good
scout"
It would seem from investigation
that the Would-be robber is an
amateur and that his only working
instruments were an augur or a
drill and two rusty spikes. A
round hole drilled in the floor of
the hall would indicate that the
robber had made an effort to work
his way through the floor there,
but had found the oak floor too
hard to make much progress.
It is evident that the robber tried
to gain entrance to the office OF the
attorney by boring holes in the
panel just above the lock. Three
holes had been bored in the floor,
none of them were cut
through. Blood was found on the
glass and on a paper On the desk
near where the note was left. More
holes were bored in the floor in
side Of the Office. Attorney Ludens
has offered reward of 500 for
the arrest Of the guilty culprit.
