ThonRh XothtnK Definite Han Re anlted In Idaho Scnatorshlp. BOISE, Idaho. Jan. 2. (Special.) A busy day among the members of the Legisla ture closed tonight without, any definite results on the Scnatorshlp having come to the surface. It seems, however, as though Mr. Borah had a considerable lead over any other candidate. Very few members from the southeast are yet on the ground. His friends expect a number of votes for him from that section. The claims made by them heretofore have been fully borne out as tho members have gathered, and this tends toward a belief in the mind of the lobby that the claims respecting the attitude of southeastern members will also prove correct. Mr. Borah's quarters figure up a total of from 20 to 24 votes for him at the start. Judge Heyburn has a largo majority of the northern members, but there Is con siderable dispute as to the attitude of four or five from that section. A conference at northern members was held In Judge 'Heyburn's hcadqaurtcrs this afternoon. There were 37 present, there being two Republicans from the north still absent NKW RESIDENCE OP WILLIAM FAR ICR. The above la a picture of the residence recently completed on the northeast corner of Eleventh and Market streets, for Mr. William Faber, of Albany, who will now reside permanently In Portland. The house is one of the handsomest In th neighborhood, and was built from plans prepared by Justus F. Krumbein, architect. from the city. It was given out after the conference by the Judge's manager that It had agreed to support his candidacy solidly, and that the north would all be for him. Some of them qualified the statement by saying that it would bo practically solid, and one, whom your cor respondent questioned closely, said there might be one vote against him. On the other hand, your correspondent was told by a man who was present that the con ference was called for the purpose of con sidering northern legislative matters; that all went In for that purpose, and that an effort to convert It into a Heyburn caucus failed. It was further stated that there were four men present who will not vote for the Judge. Judge Heyburn's friends claim he has strength elsewhere, but it is not disclosed. The organization caucus for representa tives of the two houses will probably be held Sunday night. There is nothing yet .known definitely concerning who will be the successful candidates, excepting that there Is o opposition to J. Frank Hunt, of Bannock County, for Speaker of the House. The Democrats will probably vote for P. W. Mitchell, of Idaho County, for Speaker, and it seems to be understood that the Democratic vote will be cast for Senator Heitfeld on the Senatorship. Chairman Gooding, of the state commit tee, arrived this afternoon, and an nounces that a meeting of the state com mittee will be held January 6. at which he will submit his report as chairman. The two Cassia .County members are co-operating with the Borah forces, also Senator Baker, of Custer. Nothing has developed so far to Indicate what Judge Standrod's strength will be, but his man agers seem confident that he holds a strong position. PURCHASE LUMBER YARDS.

The Woodmen In, this section of the state, through the assistance of the state officers, are preparing for a grand street carnival in Grant's Pass next Sum mer.

The Grant's Pass Federated Trades Union Is making Its preliminary plans for the establishment of a co-operative store. The members of the various branches of the local union and the citizens in gen eral of the county are subscribing for stock, and the labor organizations here feel confident they will have, no trouble in establishing a store.

IN JAIL FOR HUGGING WOMEN. Oregon Man in San Franciaco Be comeii Hilarlona. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 2. (Special.) Richard Connors, a recent arrival from Oregon, was with the celcbrators who sent out the old year with a mighty wave of noise Wednes day night. Just before midnight he met Miss May Brown and Mrs. Tcssie Rose on Kearny Btreet near Sutter, and so pleased was the Oregonian with their appearance that he proceeded to hug them both, but the ladles objected and clubbed the young man, who, after a tactical retreat, re turned to the fray and slapped Mrs. Rose in the face. The blow waa witnessed by pedestrians, who gave chase to Connors, and after a run of two blocks he was cap tured by Patrolman Hicks and booked at the central station on a charge of bat tery. In Judge Cabanlss' department of the Police Court this morning Connors wa3 found guilty. His pica in extonuatlon was that "he didn't mean nothin " by it.

The caso of Hattle L. Powers vs. Guy M. Powers, one of the most noted divorce cases ever begun In this count, was decided today by Judge Boise in favor of the plaintiff. The defendant, having deeded all of his property, valued a.t about $2500. withdrew his cross-complaint and gave no testimony In his own behalf. His attorneys argued that there was not enough evidence ad duced to entitle the plaintiff to a decree. The court decided, however, that the charge of desertion had not been made out, but that there was enough In letters written by the defendant to his wife to grant a decree on the grounds of personal indlgnltiss rendering her life burdensome. Both parties seemed well pleased at the decision of the court. NO RECOMMENDATION MADE. Hlatorical Society Appropriation Not Opposed by Secretary of State. SALEM, Or., Jan. 2. (Special.) In the review of the biennial report of the Secre tary of State, published In The Oregonian of January 1, It . was stated that Mr. Dunbar recommended that the appropri ations for the Oregon Historical Society, the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society and the Florence Crittenden Home be discontin ued. This statement was broader than it should have been. In making bis esti mates of the expenses of the state for the ensuing two years. Secretary of State Dunbar left blank the amounts opposite the items referred to. This was taken as meaning that no appropriations should be made for these purposes. It is learned, however, that this was not Mr. Dunbar's Intention. None of these Institutions are state Institutions, and have no legal claim for regular appropriations. For this reason, no estimate was ma do upon these items, for it remains with each Legislative Assembly to determine wheth er any amount shall be appropriated and what the amount shall be. As they are not state Institutions, the Secretary of State did not think It proper to include them In the estimate. The Items were In cluded, but no amount given, ao that the subject Is brought to the attention of the Legislature. In making the regular annual statement today of tho expenses to which the state ! will be subject for the ensuing year, the State Board of Levy, consisting of tho Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer, omitted these same items, and for the came reason.
