GLEASON FACES
NEW CHARGE IN
DISTRICT COURT
Victim of Sensational
Raid Pleads Guilty on
Statuatory Charge SEN
fenced Today.

Frank Gleason, father of Keith
Gleason, the two of whom, together
with William Brown, were arrested
in midnight raid upon a party" at
tended by three minor Caldwell girls
was in full swing recently, Saturday
waived his preliminary hearing on a
statutory charge before Probate
Judge George Stovel. Monday he en-
tered a plea Of guilty in the district
court He will be sentenced Tuesday.
Frank Gleason is now serving Jail
sentence for contributing to the de-
linquency of minors. After this charge
was preferred against him, county Of
hcials began thorough investigation
OF the case. AS a result, sufficient
evidence was obtained to prefer this
new and more serious charge against
him, facts obtained the night of the
raid being insufficient, for such a
charge. Among things uncovered by
county officers was the widespread
nature of the vicious life Gleason had
been living. Two young girls, now
in Portland institution, assisted Off
GERS here with affidavits. These affi-
davits were used as the basis of the
new charge. When confronted with
this evidence, Gleason made no at
tempt to combat the case.
Gleason's son, Keith, is now serv-
ing an intermediate term of from five
to IS years in the state penitentiary.
Thus far, Brown is not the object of
further legal action and is serving a
Jail sentence for the same offense as
that upon which Frank Gleason was
first convicted.
Sunday, Gleason made a wild dash
for freedom. Under custody of Bill
March, jailer, Gleason was enjoying
the balmy spring weather and with
the penitentiary dead ahead, he sought
to escape.
Lured by passing freight train as
possible means of making his get
away, Gleason heaoed for the rail-
road yards. Mr.. March was unable
to catch him and but for Bill Atte-
bury, judge of the Jail kangaroo court,
Gleason would have undoubtedly made
his escape. Attebury is young and
fleet of foot and after thrilling chase
OF about 10 blocks, overlook Gleason.
Attebury is serving a Jail sentence
on charge of arising from two fire.
quent matrimonial aspirations. He is
head of the Jail court system and was
recently reelected to the office when
few disgruntled individuals in the
jail, protesting his autocratic rule, en-
oeavored to GUST him. As head of the
kangaroo court, prisoners coduct is
IN some degree within his province of
authority. And Attebury decided
that Gleason has no business escap-
ing.
Not even Gleason's attempt to bride
Attebury after his capture availed him
anything. Gleason, it develops, has a
private bank in his sock that has to-
tai deposits of about $4,000 in gold.

PLANS F D R
DEBATE CONTEST
Caldwell In Lead In
This District; Finals
May IL.

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, May
8-Interscholastic debating contests to
decide state high school champion
ships will hereafter be held under the
auspices of the Delta Tau society, an
organization of university debaters.
The society has already completed
plans for this years contest, which
will be held at the university Thurs
day May II.
Elimination debates have been held
in all sections of the state. Repre-
sentation in the north lies between
Occur dAlene and Lapwai and in the
south between Boise and Caldwell.
Winners from these two sections will
meet at the university and debate for
the championship. Suitable awards
are being planned for the winning
team and also the runners-up in the
race.
Resolved, That American coast
wise shipping should be exempt from
toll in the Panama canal" is the sub
ject being debated this year.
J. ]. Rae, superintendent of Cald-
well schools, Monday morning con-
hrmed the despatch from the Univer-
sity of Idaho to the effect that repre-
sentation from this district lies be-
tween Boise and Caldwell. However,
Caldwells claims will not be advanc-
ed, according to Mr.. Rae and if south
ern Idaho is represented at the state
meet, Boise will send its team.
Caldwell has already debated the
state question with Boise and both the
negative and affirmative Caldwell
teams won by 81 decisions. Bosses
claim for the district championship is
based on the contention that these
debaters were held prior to the or
ganization of the state league and in
sists upon another debate under league
auspices. This Mr.. Rae refuses to do,
basing his contention upon the fact
that Caldwell has already twice won
from Boise teams. However, lack of
finances makes it impossible to send
Caldwell teams to Moscow and Boise
will be conceded the right to enter
from this district.

In usdlton to other important
victories the Hooslers had little

champions on the HoosIer squad
are Captain Wise, 125 pounds:
Robertson, las pounds; Lucas, 1853

MUMMY heavyweight. The Indiana
A. A. u. corresponds TO the A,le-
gheny Mountain a. A. U. and tho
championship of that section Is
similar to winning the title IN this
territory! According to reports re-
ceiveh here the five HoosIer gran.

tend to win the match here tomor-

So far Indiana has suffered but
one defeat this year. Illinois ad-
ministered this licking by the score
Of 1910. The HOLSTERS fought
gamely. but only succeeded in win.
ming three Of the seven bouts. It
was a bitterly contested meet ana
each bout was gruelling struggle
such as those OF tomorrow night
give promise OF being.
Lucas, Tndiana's 15S FOUNDER has
been having n great year and So

have his hands full when he faces

Is another HoosIer who has not
tasted defeat this season and who
has been winning his bouts by
falls regularly. Both these bouts
and Captain Scotty Hough's clash
with Captain Wise should furnish
plenty Of action and will undoubt-
cdly be among the feature en-.
gagements Of the evening.
The Hoosier squad will arrive
here shortly before noon tomorrow.
A wire received here today notified
local officials that the entire out
tit was in good condition and that
they would be able to put forth
their full strength here tomorrow.
Local fans are all ready for the
