KEYES INSISTS
HE'LL Go LIMIT
IN AIMEE CASE
Mrs. Wiseman's 'Turncoat'
Testimony Will Not
Halt Prosecution
Entirely, He Says
NEW CHARGES NEAR


LOS ANGELES, Dec. 80 (AP(-
The next step in the Aimee SEM
pie Mcpherson case, whether it
will be dismissal of the conspiracy
charges against the evangelist and
her three co-defendants or the
filing of new charges, remained un-
decided as the second county grand
jury to Investigate the affair clos
ed today's session.
A bewildered public, vainly at
tempting to follow the intricate
case. was further puzzled tonight
by statement by District Attor-
ney Asa Keyes emphatically deny
ing that the case against Mrs Nc
Pherson, her mother, Mrs. Minnie
Kennedy, her former radio -engin-
eer, Kenneth G.. Ormiston, and Mrs
Lorraine Wiseman Sielaff, would be
dropped. Yesterday, the prosecu-
tor declared that the dismissal Of
the conspiracy charges was innmin-
ent due to changes made in her
story by Mrs. Wiseman, who dou-
bles as one of the defendants and
also a star witness for the state
He then branded Mrs. Wiseman as
a "turncoat" and "perjurer," tell
ing "a new story almost every
day.
Keyes Makes Statement
Keyes' statement today was:
"Emphatically, l will not drop
this case. While Mrs. Wiseman
has changed her original story I'M
part, it is not Observation-Disclosures
tie to that she told on the witness
stand during Mrs. Mcpherson pre-
liminary hearing. Instead, it is
more of an elaboration of the vague
parts of her previous testimony"
The grand jury will resume it's
inquiry Tuesday and court attaches
forecast that the present conspir-
acy to obstruct justice charges may
be dropped and indictments for per-
jury and subornation of perjury
Roland Rich Wooley, Mrs. Nc
Pherson's former personal attor-
ney, was the first witness heard by
the grand jury and he was follow
ed by Leonard Hammer, also a
member of the evangelist's legal
staff, at the time of her prelimin-
ary hearing
Denies Wiseman Charges
Wooley said he had been excus-
ed from the oath of secrecy and
told newspapermen that his testi-
mony had been a detailed denial OF
the new story of Mrs Wiseman that
it was he who engaged her to
evidence to clear Mrs. |
Mcpherson, whom the state con-
tends was at Carmel with Ormis-
ton during part of the time she
says she Was III TIE naflQS OF klu-
napers.
Attempts were made in the grand
Jury room, Wooley said, to ques-
ion him concerning negotiations
with Mrs. Mcpherson for the pay
ment of his bill against her for |
legal service. Keyes then had de- |
elared that these negotiations had |
nothing to do with the present in |
yestigation. Attorney Oscar Law
er, who handled the fee payment
negotiations for Wooley, said when
asked whether there had been a
break with Mrs. Mcpherson when
ne offered to settle the bill said !
hat was 'Wooley's business.
Hammer was called to corro- !
ocrate Wooley's testimony that he
lad advised the evangelist to have
lothing to do with Mrs. Wiseman.

MAN is KILLED
BY WORK TRAIN
G. II. Whittredge of Orchard
Passes Away as Re
suits of Tuesdays
Accident

c. II. Whittredge, an employee o.
the Oregon Short Line, at Orchard
died last Tuesday afternoon as re
suit of an injury sustained that
morning while unloading gravel from
a work train. Funeral services were
held in Boise Thursday under the
auspices of the l. o. o. f.
1t seems that Whittredge was un-
loading gravel when the train gave a
sudden start and he fell down be-
tween two cars. He grabbed onto
the rods and was dragged for a dis
tance of fifty yards before the NOV
ing train could be brought to a stop
and when removed it was found that
the wheels had passed over his hips
He was Immediately taken TO a car
and accompanied by DR.. T. e. Evans
was started on his way to the rail-
road hospital at Pocatello, but upon
reaching Glenns Ferry the mans
condition was so grave that he was
removed to the Glenns Ferry hospit-
al where he expired in very short
time.
Mr.. Whittredge is survived by his
wife and a small daughter and son,
both of whom are now under quar-
antine for small pox.

MOUNTAIN HOME
PEOPLE STUNG

Mountain Home was infested again
last Tuesday evening by bum show.
The VIM. ]. Harvall Company feebly
attempted to present Uncle Tom s
Cabin" under their tent, which was
located just across the street from the
Ford garage. The company was an
aggregation of cham actors" who
should have been digging post holes
and washing dishes rather than at
tempting to act and taking the money
of an unsuspecting public. The
wonderful and marvellous scenery"
advertised was all upon two by
four stage and the bloodhounds were
ferocious in their attempts to recov-
er the runaway "niggers." At the
conclusion we were not at all sur
prised when Uncle Tom and Little
Eva passed out, they certainly were
justified and many of the audience
felt likewise.

ews, Wilena Little, Lucy Rocker and
Glen Lawson. This was preceded by
very interesting program by all the
school and nearly all the individuals.
Then came the feast of cake and as
your correspondent is judge of

kinds.
Well, some ball games! Noun

WATER SUPPLY
IS HOLDING UP
Approximately $500 Acre
Feet Yet Available for
Farmers Under
Local Project

Engineer Spofford, of the Noun
tain Home Irrigation District, stat
ed to a representative of the Repub-
lican last Tuesday that the water
supply on the local project was hold
ing up very we'll. At the present
time there is 5000 acre feet in the
Little Camas reservoir; 1850 acre
feet in Long Tom and $50 acre feet
in the Mountain Home reservoir.
On the goth of May there had been
approximately 1000 acre feet deliver
ed to the users and it is expected
that it will be possible to deliver
one and one-half acre feet altogether
this season.
The stands of wheat and clover
are excellent, in fact better than has
been in this vicinity for some time
past. The alfalfa is doing well also
and it is predicted that normal hay
crop will be secured locally.
When the condition of other prof.
ects is considered, Mountain Home
makes a good showing. According
to reports of the Reclamation Service
in Boise, the flow in the Boise River
at the present time is only about half
of the normal flow.

MINING men
ASK FOR ROAD
w. B. Grant, of Black War
rior, Asks for Exten-
sion of Road to
Property

w. B. Grant, of the Black Warrior
mine, was in Mountain Home the
forepart of the week for the purpose
of interesting the Gilmore county COM
missioners in the extension and i'm
provement of the road from Atlanta
down the Boise River to his mining
property Mr.. Grant stated that his
company would be willing to help
finance the road so that supplies
could be trucked from Atlanta to the
property.
1t is understood that the commits
sioners are taking the matter under
advisement and as soon as they are
able to get into Atlanta they plan to
make an inspection trip to the prop
erty to ascertain the feasibility.
The granting of Mr.. Grants re-
quest will doubtless meet with gem
eral public approval as it will assure
the people of Mountain Home the
patronage of the mine as well as it
will permit fishermen from this To-
cality to get into fishing grounds
that have so far been inaccessible.

ATLANTA NEEDS
BETTER ROADS
Impossible to Get Into Once
Famous Camp With
Automobile Says
Resident.

Reports indicate that the last few
miles of the road to Atlanta is in a
very bad condition, being impossible
except for teams. Recently an auto
mobile made the trip in, but so far
has been unable to get out under it's
own power.
Mrs. F. G. Davis, a native of At
lanta, was in Mountain Home Satur-
day and reports the Black Warrior
company moving their saw mill and
putting affairs in shape to begin op-
erations on the Black Warrior placer
mine soon.
To a representative Of the Repub-
lican Mr.. Davis said:
"With our roads in passible con-
dition there is good chance for At
lanta to make good showing this
season. Several mining men are in
tereeted in the camp and would make
personal inspection OF some of the
properties there If they could get In
and out by automobile. so far this
season one car has ventured in but
has not attempted to get out under
its own power because OF road con-
ditions. It is too dangerous.
1--WE certainly need road into the
camp, but just how to get It Is
problem"

MAY ESTABLISH
SAN MILL HERE
Matter of Running Narrow
Gauge to Fall Greek
Given Serious
Consideration

Plans are now being made by in
terested parties for the development
of a real lumber industry in this
section by tapping the wonderful belt
of yellow and white pine and fir in
the Fall Greek section. 1t is under
stood that those planning to finance
the concern are of the opinion that
the feasible thing to do would be to
run a narrow gauge railroad from
Mountain Home to Fall Creek and
ship the timber from there to this
city, where the mill would be To-
Gated. Money interests of the East
are taking considerable interest in
this project and last Monday and
Tuesday engineers of the Union Pa
Gifts were here making an inspection
of the proposition.
The largest individual owner of
the timber in the Fall Creek section
is Robert G.. Ingersole, well known
match manufacturer and it is under
stood that lngerSole is very 1aVor-
able in this regard. Mr.. Ingersole
made visit to his property some
seven or eight years ago and was so
favorably impressed with the beauty
of the section that he planned on lay
ing it out for a game preserve and a
camp but the advent of the World
War caused him to abandon his
plans along that line.
BY those familiar with the Fall
Creek section, it is stated that there
is one of the largest belts of market
able timber any place within the con-
fines of the state and 1t is hoped
that those interested will be sue
cessful in their plans for its deVel-
opment.

LOCAL CREAM
STATION THRIVING
Cream Station to Place $3l,
600 With Local Dairy
men in One Year
at Present Rate

The local cream station installed
thru the activities of the Mountain
Home Association cooperating with
the Boise Valley Cooperative cream
cry, is doing fine business and
shows a steadily mounting volume
of business.
Patrons receive payments three
times a week for the product brought
in, the testing and weighing being
done here and the checks issued here
by Mr.. w. D. Clayville for the Co
operative creamery.
The first weeks business of this
station totals around $50 pounds of
butterfat worth about $165, while
last weeks business totaled 1882
pounds of butterfat worth $607. At
the present rate years run of this
station will put into circulation in
Mountain Home and vicinity $31,-
200. With fair prices and the usual
good service a still greater increase
is expected during the summer.
Farmers are finding out every day
that dairying pays and more and
more of them are depending on the
COW for a steady income. A surplus
of hay is just what the dairyman
likes to have on his place as he is
then sure that he can properly feed
his stock. With plenty of feed and
few good cows no man need be hard
up.
Plans are now under way for a
dairymen's picnic near Mountain
Home soon, the Cooperative cream
cry has signif1ed that it will furnish
ice cream for the occasion. With
this important consideration settled
no apprehensions are felt for the
success of this event.

GOVERNMENT AID
ON NEVADA ROAD
Government Will Partici-
pate in Expense on
Building of Ne
vada Cutoff

Mr.. Schwab, missionary for the
Duck Valley Indian Reservation, was
a Mountain Home visitor the fore
part of the past week. While here
Mr. Schwab stated that the Duck
Valley Indian Reservation had al
ready received an appropriation from
the government of $4,000 for the
building of bridge across the Owy-
hee River.
He also stated that the Indian
Service had also asked for an appro-
priation for the building Of a road
through the entire reservation.
Should this appropriation be granted
it will mean much for the bringing
to an immediate conclusion the des-
ignation of the road through Bruneau
and the reservation as state high
way. Should this be accomplished
it will mean much for Mountain
Home and other towns located along
the route as much of the traffic from
Nevada and California to Canada and
the Yellowstone National Park will
be diverted that way Mountain
Home will then be the junction point
where the Nevada road will join the
Old Oregon Trial.
Committees from the Boise Ex-
change Club are cooperating with
the members of the local club in
bringing to a conclusion this project.

The Government Against the
Workers and Farmers.

At the same time that the government power
is used to advance the interests of the capital
lists it is used just as aggressively to fight
against the workers.
Congress has passed the Watson-Parker bill
thru which the railroad workers right to strike
for higher wages and better working conditions
is practically abolished. 1t is true that some of
the reactionary leaders of the railroad unions
joined in the support Of this bill. 1t is neverthe-
less direct blow at the workers in the railroad
industry.
A similar bill is before congress in relation to
the mining industry. The miners are to be rob-
bed of the right to strike for better wages and
working conditions as the railroad workers have
been. The capitalists want to strip labor of the
right to strike to enforce their demands for a
higher standard of life. No strikes mean higher
profits for the capitalists because it means lower
wages and worse working conditions for the
workers.
Congress has refused to pass laws intended to
give the farmers relief from the intolerable con-
ditions under which they are working The capi-
,talists from one end of the country to the other
have been bowling because it is proposed to use
the governmental power and money in aid of
the farmers.
The capitalists want to register, finger-print
and photograph all foreign-born workers, so
they can intimidate them and make them afraid

COOK SAYS BRITISH MINERS
FIGHT is A WORLD STRUGGLE

GUM, Germany, Holland, and Den
mark at prices below those at which
the foreisn7miners could produce it.
This would create a situation in
which the coal owners would take
the advantage to reduce the wages
of the miners In the foreign coal
fields. The antagonlsm between the
governments created in this way
might lead even to wars.
Therefore It is of great import
anee to the workers on the continent
and in America, that the conditions
of the miners of Great Britain are
maintained, as coal mining is the
key industry of this country.
"The miners are determined to
continue the struggle despite the
fact that the general strike has been
called off.
Whatever the consequences, the
British miners will not consent to
any lengthening of hours or break
ing Of any national agreements, and
they will have to be beaten into sub
mission before they accept redue-
tion of wages This can be our only
attitude in view Of the govern
ment's complete reputation Of Sir
Herbert SamueI's proposals."
