IDAHO FALLS MAN TO HANG

John Rathie, formerly of Idaho
Falls, will be hanged in the state
prison at Salem, Ore, July 7, unless
Governor Olcott extends reprieves
granted to Rattle and Elvie Kerby,
convicted slayers of Till Taylor,
sheriff of Umatilla county, Oregon.
Information has been received, from
Washington tina no appeal has been
filed in the United States court in
favor Of Kirby, which means that he
will hang also:
Much interest was created in
Idaho Falls in the case of Rathie
and great pressure was brought to
bear to change his life sentence to
life Imprisonment. The War
Mothers and American Legion made
a strenuous effort to save the life Of
the ex-service man.

is gone from it. People should not
get discouraged if they do not see
immediate results from the poison
as it requires twenty-four hours or
more for them to die after eating
the poison, but they are cannibals
and the live ones eat the craws out
Of the dead ones and in that man
ner they kill one another.
Yours Respectfully,

NEWS FRoWRUsslA

The following Aan excerpt from a
letter written to E. Lock, Blackfoot,
Idaho, by his relatives in the famine
stricken area Of southern Russia,
describing the pitiable condition of
the people in that country. 1t was
translated by Rev. H. A. Fisher:
eve have experienced very hard
times during the three years of civil
war, but at the present time we are
experiencing the hardest times OF
all, when famine and pestilence Is
playing havoc among us. The Bible
speaks of great famines. History re-
cords many hard times, but the
world has never known such a great
famine and so much suffering as the
people of southern Russia are ex-
periencing. All one hears from the
lips of hudreds and thousands OF
pale and emaciated sufferers OF all
ages is: Bread, bread, give us
bread. Secular history tells us how
at the siege of Jerusalem in the
year II A. D., the famine became so
great that the people ate cats and
dogs and rats; yes, some mothers
even killed and prepared their own
sons to be eaten as food to stave on
death a little longer. The famine in
Paris in 1871 was indeed great. But
the world has never witnessed the
like of which we are experiencing
at present. Whole cities are with
out food or nourishment of any kind
and without prospects of getting any
in the near future.
The people are dying of starvation
by the hundreds and thousands.
Under such conditions you may
imagine that we must also eat cats
and dogs and rats and even the meat
of dead carcasses. Large bands OF
hungry beggers wander from village
to village in the thope of finding a
bite to eat. But all in vain. Their
hunger becomes more severe with
every step. They are thin and ema-
ciated, mere skeletons and ghosts OF
their former selves, they become
weaker and weaker, they sway
stumble and fall to the ground and
remain there beside the public
thorofare to die of starvation
Everywhere one may see bodies ly-
ing along the way, one, two and
sometimes a large number, victims
of the cruel famine. Sometimes
these corpses remain there for days
and weeks. There is no one to bury
them. AS soon as a head Of cattle
falls, a victim of distase or starva-
ton, the shadow-like natives hasten
there to get a portion of the cadaveI
for food.
"The wailing the moaning Of the
hungry children is heart-rending
The scenes which one must witness
daily is terrible, to say the least
Parents are weak and dying, theil
faces swollen from fever ant
hunger. The children lying about
the floor gnawing at rags and wood
or roots in an effort to quiet the
gnawing pain Of their empty
stomachs. But enough of thi'
picture Of woe and misery. We are
all looking forward to death by
starvation If assistance does mo-
reach us in the near future"

GOVERNOR RUSSELL WINS
IN FIRST CLASH OF SUIT
Case Dismissed When Court
Upholds Motion Gov. Russell
lin Claim of Jurisdiction

Jackson, Miss, May s. The
100000 damage suit instituted
recently against Governor Lee
NJ. Russell by Miss Francis Birk-
head, his former stenographer,
alleging misconduct was dis
missed here today by Justice E..
r. Holmes in United States
court for the southern district
Of Mississippi. The action was
taken on a motion presented by
counsel for the governor claim
ing want of jurisdiction.
Immediately after the courts
decision was announced attor-
neys representing Miss Birk-
head stated they would file the
suit in the Oxford division of
the northern district. This would
delay the trial of the case until
December, because the regular
term of the federal court in Ok
ford scheduled for June will not
be held this year, it was stated.
In this motion for dismissal
of the suit the governors coun-
sci contended that Jackson was
not the legal residence of the
governor and therefore he
could not be sued here
Governor Russell on the stand
today testified that he had been
a citizen of Oxford since 1887
and that as soon as his tenure
of office was completed it was
his intention to return to Ok
ford and resume law practice.
In an oral decision Judge
Holmes said that the principal
question involved was not Of
jurisdiction but of venue and
his decision, he said, was based
chiefly on an Interpretation of
a section of the judicial code
relative to transitory actions.
Miss Burkhead was not in
court, nor was there any women
spectators present

SENATE TO TAKE NEW
BONUS PLAN TO PRES.
Tentative Draft of Measure Is
Agreed Upon In Committee
Similar to House BIZ.

Washington, May 2.-The
soldiers bonus problem is to be
put up to President Harding
again. This was decided today
at a meeting of the senate f.
nance committee Republicans
who agreed tentatively upon
details of a measure embodying
substantially the house bill plan
of bank and government loans
on adjusted service certificates
in lieu of the original cash bo-
nus proposal.
Senators said they desired to
get the presidents views on the
newest bonus proposal, explain
ing that it would be a waste Of
time to go ahead with a meas
ure that president might dis
approve. They added that the
visit of the committee to the
White House would be deferred
until a complete bill could be
drafted and given further con-
sideyation by them.
Full details Of the new meas
ure were withheld, but as now
outlined it would contemplate
no taxes and aside from adjust
ed service certificates it would
provide for vocational training,
farm and home aid, and cash
payments to veterans whose ad-
justed service pay would not eX-
ceed $50.
The so-called reclamation Sec
ton of the house bill has been
eliminated.
The president will be urged
to approve the measure in this
form and will be told that it
will impose no heavy burdens
on the treasury during the next
three years.

WIGGINS CONTINUES
WINNING STREAK
Biloxi Cub Loses Two Games
To Locals-One Complete
Shutout

The local ball club is. still on
its winning rampage, capturing
two more games, the Biloxi
Club suffering both defeats.
Last Thursday the locals
played the Biloxi club on their
home grounds and handed out
one Of the worst drabbings that
any coast team has experienced
this season. When the last out
was registered score of 13 to
l was hung up on the score
board and a total of IA hits was
placed against the three pitch
ers that Biloxi used to stop the
onslaught of the locals.
The work of Lefty" Cooper
on the slab coupled with jam-up
support on the infelds kept the
Biloxi players off first base after
the first inning.
The "Crabs" came back for
revenge Saturday but met a re-
verse decision again as Babe"
Elkins, the locals big right
handed hurler, had 'em break
ing with fast "hops," ms and
outs that baffeled the heavy
hitting visitors, striking out ten
men and giving four scattered
hits, gaining a 3 to 0 victory.
Errorless ball was played by
the locals.
Biloxi was accompanied by
the Scyncopated Jazz Orchestra
that furnished music for the
game and the usual large crowd
of fans were on hand to enjoy
the evening sport.
Virgins will play in Ocean
Springs today and a game with
the Poplarville club is scheduled
to be played here Saturday.
"Muss" Freeman, who has had
a trial with the New Orleans
Pelicans, will be on the mound

Hats for the Street

have taken Paris by storm are only
the beginning of this vogue. Decora-
tive masque wells are draped over hats
Of both large and small dimensionA
For wear with dressy afternoon frocks
these wells encirle the hat and fasten
mt one side of the brim, where they
are permitted to fall TO the shoulders
OF the wearer. In white these wells
are charming to complete an after
noon toilette consisting Of white
satin dress emboldered in crystal
beads and silver threads, and an ac-
companying hat of white horsehair
braid, the whole making unison in
white.
But 1t Is when motoring and on
the beach that the veil comes into
greatest play. for 1t is here that It
proves itself a strictly utlltarlan arti-
Gle in protecting the skin from the
wind and sun. Every woman should
provide herself with one of these
masque wells not alone for the pro-
lection which 1t affords, but for the
coquettlsh touch which 1t adds to a
costume.
