Decides in Favor of the
Defendant Monday
Night

Following the jury's verdict in
November to the effect that Tay-

murder on the ground that he was
insane, jury in an insanity inquisi-
tion last Monday evening about
twelve o'clock returned to court with
verdict to the effect that the ac-
cused was not insane. This Is the
final act in this case which has at
tracted statewide attention for the
past several months.
1t will be remembered that Tay-
lor on the 31st of March last year
murdered Dan Mclaughlin, we'll
known attorney OF this city on the
public street. He was Immediately
arrested and at his trial the plea of
insanity was put forth and experts
and local witnesses testified relative
to his mental condition. The jury
were fully convinced that he was in
sane and a victim OF "persecuatory
paranoia" an incurable mental dis
ease. He was represented by At
torneys James and Stafford. of Good
ing, at that time. At the conclusion
of that trial Mr.. James stated that
they would have nothing further to
do with the case as they were fully
convinced that their client was in
sane.
Following the previous verdict,
Taylor was arraigned before jury
in an insanity inquisition last Satur-
day.
The greater part of that day was
consumed in the selection of jury,

PLANS FOR STANLEY
BASINWATERSTORAGE
Exchange Club and Commits
sion of Engineers Com
plete Data = Cost
$42,000,0O0

Realization of Idaho's greatest ir-
rigation project, still in the future,
was brought nearer in 1924 by the
examination and report of a COM
mission of engineers on the means
and methods of making available wa
ter for the Boise Mountain Home
project.
Early in the year the Exchange
club of Boise fostered this undertake
ing and secured commission to look
into it composed of Professor M. R.
Lewis of the University of Idaho;
A. ]. Wiley, consulting engineer of
the United States reclamation serv-
ice; w. G. Swendsen, reclamation
commissioner of Idaho, and James B.
Hays, designer of the project. On the
basis of it's report eastern financial
interests have been induced to weigh
the project with view to planning
its actual financing and construc-
tion.
To supplement this examination
and report, further studies were
made during the remainder of the
year, valuable because it was the
driest year on record, and because
of this further study additional re-
servoir capacity was determined up
on for the project, to give it abso-
lutely certain water supply for all
time.
Some of the outstanding features
of the Boise-Mountain Home project,
whose magnitude is such that those
unfamiliar with the preparations for
it are loath to believe it possible, are
as follows:
One million, five hundred thousand
acre feet of water, taken in the STAN
ley basin, watershed of the towering
will be brought through
a tunnel nearly 25 miles long from
Reddish lake to the south fork of the
Boise river, to water 325,000 acres,
Two dams, at Stanley and Cape
Horn, each higher than the Arrow
rock, now the highest in the world,
will impound the water. Two other
dams will be built on the Boise, and
a tunnel 10 miles in length, with
an outlet seven miles north of Noun
tain Home, will deliver the water
to the tract.
The cost of construction will be
nearly $4,000, ,000-more than the
combined cost of all the Carey Act
md reclamation service development
IN Idaho in 20 years The average
cost per acre will be $12S.
1t is the largest project in the
world ever undertaken by individ-
lals, says the engineering commits
ZION, and the tunnel is the longest
n the world ever proposed for irri-
cation purposes by individuals or
governments. Yet the financiers who
ire to invest. in 1t have already par
icipated in Carey Act investments
involving millions, and they have
llready spent upward of 100000 on
he preliminary work for the Boise
Mountain Home project.

URGE SAFEGUARDS
FOR PUBLIC HEALTH
Increased Medical Staff for
Schools and Hospital for
Contagious Recommended.

An increased medical staff of ply
sicianS and nurses for the public
schools and the erection of a hospital
Tor the care of ntagious disease
patients in this city were unanimously
approved alta joint meeting yesterday
afternoon of the health committee of
the Washington Council of Social
Agencies and representatives of the
Monday Evening Club, in the Office of
the former, in The Star Building.
Two resolutions were adopted. One
provided Endorsement of A tentative
plan for adequately increasing the
medical and dental staffS of the public
schools. The other indorsed the pro-
poSal 20 erect a contagious disease
hospital to cost approximately $500
600. Both resolutions pledged those
attending the meeting to bring about
the support of their respective social
agency organizations and to do every
thing within their means to create
public sentiment in favor of these two
propositions also to urge their re-
Spective organizations to formally re-
quest the Commissioners of the Dis
trict and the Board of Education to
approve the contemplated increased
medical and dental staffs when the
time comes to prepare the appropria-
tion estimates for next year.
Speak for 60, 900 Children.
1t was the opinion of those who
spoke at this meeting that because
of the inadequate force of doctors
and nurses now employed for the
schools il is impossible to give the
more than $4,000 children attending
the local public schools proper atten-
ton. DR.. J. A. Murphy. chief medical
officer of the schools. said IL is utterly
impossible to give more than one-third
of the children entering school for
the first time a physical examination.
The tentative plan for increasing the
medical staff was drawn up along
lines suggested by him.
1t is proposed in the tentative pro-
gram adopted to have three thorough
medical examinations of public school
pupils. the first to be of all chill

grade session and the third upon
completing the eighth grade. 1t was
thought by those discussing this fea-
ture of the program that by these
three examinations deficiencies In the
children's health not only would he
more readily detected, but could be
treated and corrected.
Plan as Outlined.
TO make the medical work really eff,
fective. the program provides Cor one
chief medical inspector az fun time
g nd one medical inspector at half time
for every 5000 school children; one
supervising nurse for every 10 nurses
and one full.time nurse for every
> 800 children: one dental operator for
every 1900 children and one dental
hygienist, full time, for every 700
children.
At the present time there are en-
ga ged in the medical work of the
schools | chief medical officer. 10
nurses and 12 part.time physicians.
1t is estimated that the proposed in
crease in the medical and dental staffs
would cost S19S,420 annually. OF this
total S1S3, 700 would be for the medical
work and S64,T20 for the dental work.
Also there would be required certain
additional equipment. the cost of
which is not included in the estimate.
In the program the three medical
examinations are classified as A. for
the first year children; B, for the
third year pupils, and C for the
eighth grade. While those who prepar-
ed the program contend 1t would be
ideal to have the three examinations,
they have figured the approximate
cost of each examination in the event
only one or two are finally approved
for the budget of estimates. To accom-
plish the A examination would cost
500, ,7S0: to accomplish A and B, would
cost s115.260.
Fowler Approves General Idea.
DR.. William Fowler, health officer of
the District, was present during the
He said that he approved
the general idea of increasing the
medical inspection in the schools, but
he did not care to go on record as
approving in detail the tentative pro
gram under discussion.
DIR. Fowler said while he fully ap-
preciated the need for more adequate
medical service in the schools, he con
sidered the erection OF a modern and
complete hospital for the care of con-
tagious diseases as one of the greatest
social needs of the Capital. He said
he has recomme nded this in the past
