Political wiseacres, basing their
deductions largely on current gos-
sip, are remarking upon the lengths

to be going to play BALI with Sen
ator Borah.
The Idaho Sphinx. always a
source of acute concern to any con-
servative president-or any presi-
dent-has a habit Of jumping over
the traces and climbing telegraph
poles just when the party harness
seems to be CALLING him least. He is
urged to run for president every
leap year.
With all this in mind, "the boys
take note that, according to one
version, Mr. Hoover appointed
Borahs choice for the supreme
court at Borah's urgent request, af-
ter previously deciding upon some
one else.
They also observed that the fam
Gus letter from Secretary Of State
Stimson to Borah on the Shanghai
crisis could not have surprised
Borah very much, since he was
closted for hours with Stimson the
evening before. And according to
some, the letter contained whole
passa ges in Borah's own words.
Still another straw by which they
gauge the wind Is the appointment
of Theodore Roosevelt to be gov
ernor general of the Philippines.
Gossip has it that Borah had a
large and influential hand in that.
1t Is a far cry from the day
when Borah was an outsider, a po-
tentiaI wolf at the Administrations
door. He Is still little group of
willful men, but according TO the
boys" he Is being placated at every
turn.

Stock in the bankrupt estate of
Frank Carissimi who conducted a
confectionery store on South Main
street could have probably been
sold for $275 rather than $3.50,
the price for which it was dis
posed Of, it was disclosed at a
hearing of the bankruptcy court
before Referee Walter +. Torrance
here today. Attorney Milton Mey-
ers said he represented one credi-
tor who was prepared to offer $275
for the stock.
He was informed that the stock
had been sold for $3.50 by Attorney
Benjamin Robin, receiver for the
estate. Attorney Meyers, Attorney
Philip N. Bernstein and Attorney
Marcus II. Weisman all stated they
did not know the stock had been
sold when they came into court
this morning. They said they felt
that they should have been notified
thalt the stock was going to be sold
as a matter of courtesy.
Referee Torrance announced that
he ordered the stock sold when
the receiver explained it was an
advantageous offer representing rs
per cent of the inventory appraisal
of $208. Attorney Weisman felt
that a trustee not connected with
the firm of Robin e Robin, which
represents Carissimi, should be APP
pointed. Referee Torrance took
the matter under consideration
when it was left with him for the
appointment of a trustee.
Attorney Vincent A. Miller put
in a bill for $1,000, representing a
fee of $1,000 and expenses of 5000,
as his allowance In the case Of
Alice Washburn. Referee Torrance
called Attorney Miller's attention
to the fact that the estate only
showed total of approximately
$1,000, out of which other expenses
had to be paid.
