FIRE VICTIMS WITHOUT
BEDDING OR SHELTER

The Star-Mirror is informed that
the fire which destroyed the home of
Mr. and Mrs. j. w. Allen, on Mabelle
avenue Wednesday, left the family
destitute The family comprises Mr..
and Mrs. Allen and two small chill
dren and they are now without shell
ter and without means to assemble
sufficient household goods to again
take up housekeeping. To assist them,
a call is made by the Associated Char
tiles for two mattresses, two outfits OF
bedding and such other material need
ed in home as may be available.
There are many Moscow people, no
doubt, who have used mattresses and
other articles of bedding, ETC., which
they do not use, and would be willing
to contribute for the relief of this un-
fortunate family. Persons who have
anything to contribute are asked to
advise William f. Lee, president OF
the Associated Charities, or Fred
Veatch, secretary, at once, as the need
is urgent

FRENCH OPPOSES
ANTI-LYNCHINGLAW
IDAHO CONGRESSMAN SEES UN.
CONSTITUTIONAL AND OBJ
JECTIONABLE FEATURES.

Washington Congressman Burton
l.. French has offered an amendment
to strike out sections and from
the Dyer anti-lynching measure
which has been occupying the center
of the stage in congress for several
weeks.
Sections and provide that a
county wherein a lynching occurs
shall be fined ten thousand dollars
and likewise a county through which
mob may take it's victim.
Congressman French opposed these
sections of the bill for the following
reasons:
That the provisions are unconsti-
tutional, and that congress has no
authority to provide such punish
1nents;
That the citizens of the counties
fined might be wholly innocent and
thus, what he called legislative lynch
law would impose punishment upon
innocent people for the act of law
less mob;
That ten thousand dollar fine on
small counties would be exceedingly
heavy, while on large and wealthy
That it would prevent the enforce
ment of federal law against members
of a lynching party for the reason
that citizens of county would not
voluntarily help government officers
in information because to do so would
invite penalty upon themselves.
Mr.. French also opposed the turn
ing over of the ten thousand dollars
to the family of the victim of the
mob. He e d that
as much consideration ought to be
shown to the family of the person
killed by the mob victim, and that.
least of all, if the victim of the mob
had actually committed a crime, it
would be travesty on justice to pay
his family ten thousand dollars while
the family of the law-abiding person
he may have killed would be paid
nothing by the state.
Mr. French's amendment was de-
feated in the house by one of the
cleverest legislative tricks turned in
port of probably more than half the
in addition to this, the
democrats, although entirely be-
lieving in it. decided that the best way
to kill the bill was by retaining in it
the Objectionable sections. For this
reason they opposed the French
and so it failed of pass
age.
On final passage of the bill, Con-
gressman French voted against the
measure believing it unconstitutional
with sections and included.

NO ARRESTS IN
LAST Ten YEARS
NORTH CAROLINA TOWN HAS NO
RAILROADS NOR AUT0S-P0P-
ULATION ALL METHODISTS

Ocracoke, N C.-Although this lit
tie town about a century and half
ago was the rendezvous of one of the
worlds most daring and famous gang
of crooks-Edward Teach (Blue-
beard) and his bandit is today one
community which. the recent crime
wave has not reached. There has not
been an arrest here in more than ten
years and the crimes of robbery,
burglary, theft and murder are abso-
lutely unknown to the population, in
sofar as they refer to Ocracoke.
JohnO'Neal after holding office as
Justice of the Peace at Ocracoke for
eight years, resigned a year or more
ago, not having had criminal case
during his administration a sue
ceSSor has never been elected. Mr..
O'Neal, who was born at Ocracoke,
says the worst crime he can recall to
have occurred at Ocracoke in 80 years
was one of assault and battery.
There are only one or two homes
here that have locks on the doors and
the keys to those that are thus equip
ped are never used Most of the
houses at Ocracoke were wholly or
partially constructed with lumber of
ships which were wrecked on the
treacherous shoals off the North CAL
olina coast. Every family here own
their home.
Ocracoke is at the extreme south
.ern end of little island by the same
name, located about 80 miles off the
mainland of North Carolina, and is
unique in many respects. Ocracoke
Island, which is part of Hyde county
North Carolina, is little strip Of
land about II miles long and ranges
in width from one half to one and
one-half miles The population of the
Island numbers about 700, about $50
of whom live at Ocracoke. Those who
do not live in the little town are
members of the families of coast
guardsmen, who patrol the coast
AS there are no railroads, automo-
biles, street cars or theatres where
motion pictures are shown. many of
the inhabitants at Ocracoke have new
er seen any of these things. With
the exception of the men employed by
the United States government as coast
and the few merchants in
the little town, all Ocracokesr make
their living hunting and fishing.
Every person on Ocracoke Island is
a Methodist in religion. They are dl-
vided. however as to the sectional
branch to which they belong, about
half being members of the Methodist
Church, South, while the
)ters attend the Northern church.
Ocracoke is one of the oldest settle
nents in America The people are
believed by many historians to be de-
,cendents of the "Lost Colony" of Sir
Walter Raleigh.

NURSE FINDS SCHOOL
CHILDREN UNDER WEIGHT

A study of three years work in
Idaho's public schools in the examina-
ton of children shows that an aver
age of one-third of the children are
underweight. This information has
been compiled by Miss Edith S. Coun-
tryman, director of nursing activities
of the Idaho Anti-Tuberculosis as
sociation, who has been in Boise for
the past week reporting to the state
office after year spent in the field.
The work of Miss Countryman has
taken her into many counties of the
state. She reports having previously
weighed, measured and inspected 1874
school children, holding many con-
situations with parents and doctors.
Two part-time nurses have assisted
her when she was unable to meet the
requests for school Inspections

L,F. STEWART RETURNS !.
FROM N. Y. BUYING TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Stewart, of the
Fashion Shop, arrived at home We'd
nesday evening from New York,
where they had been on a buying
trip. When asked by a Star Mirror
representative Thursday morning as
to financial conditions in the east, Mr..
Stewart said: Conditions are prac-
tically the same throughout the coun-
try, l gathered by talking to persons
who were in New York from all sec
tions. Everyone is optimistic as to
conditions for the near future, be-
lieying that there is steady upward
trend in business.
prices, at least on women's wear,
are very much lower than last sea-
son and l believe the styles are the
handsomest in several years. We
bought literally and have no fear but
that our selections will be an aid in
keeping Moscow. in the front rank,
not only as the shopping center, but
also as the style center for women's
wearing apparel in the Inland EN-
pire.
eve had gratifying experience
while gone We were in attendance
at a Joint meeting of the National
Association of Wholesale Manufac-
turers and Exclusive Shop Retailers
association, called to perfect ways and
means Of bringing the cost of wo-
mems apparel to the very lowest level
possible for the coming season. We
were more than pleased to learn that
the Fashion Shops cost of doing
business was just a trifle more than
half the average cost throughout the
entire country, due solely to big vol
ume of business. We were also
pleased to learn that our annual sales
compared favorably with the sales of
women's wear shops in cities of from
$4,000 to $4,000 population"
Mrs. Stewart was taken i'll with
grippe just after reaching New York
City and was unable to leave her bed
during most of the time spent in the
city. The. trip home was tiresome
one for her and she is still far from
recovered. Mr. Stewart says that
there is an epidemic Of influenza
prevalent in New York and other
eastern centers, but that there is very
little being said in the papers regard
ing it.
Mr.. Stewart says that special pur-
chases are already arriving from the
east and that he expects to have his
spring stock complete by the first of
March.

OF Like Names Badly
Mixed In North Dakota

Bismarck N. D., April 4.-"Of
course he Is from Steele county," said
hangera-on at the recent Nonpartisan
convention at Fargo. when it was an
nounced that John Sherman of Steele
had been nominated for congressman
in the Second North Dakota district.
And then it was charged that they
were being "kidded. when it was
announced that the town of Steele was
in. kidder county. 1t happens to be
the county seat of that county.
Investigation proved that Steele
county and town were not the only
town and county in the state that
lack of towns being in the county of
the same name is very pronounced.
Adams is in both Walsh aud Rich
land counties while Barnes, the vii
lage, is in Morton county. Benson,
the town is in LaMoure county, while
Adams, the county, regains some Of
it's prestige by having Hertinger for its
county seat
Mckenzie is in Burleigh, Mercer 10
in Mclean: while the villages of
Pierce hold forth in both Slope and
Burleigh. Ransom, the town. is in
Sargent county, and Renville, the
town, is in Dunn. And as stated be-
fore, Steele is in Kidder.
To those who have followed North
Dakota politics for n length of
time. 1t seems to be natural to have
Alexander in Mckenzie county and
Jud in LaMoure county. That hardly
prepares one, however, for Cuba in
Barnes county and Havana in Sargent.
In considering characteristics, Nor

the past independent buyers have re-

of h confusion Of brands, cans in
transit have frequently been delivered
to the. wrong party. The use by ship

guard the delivery of the cream, but
also the return Of empties to he
