In the arrest of K. Kalowich at First

"kajbwlch, in cotiirany of three . others,
was seen at the corner of Second and
Burnside streets .by the officers, who in
quired as to their business on the streets

uniformed officers .the quartet dispersed
and fled in different directions: Two of
them Kalowich and another. whose
name he refuses to divulge ran toward
Front street, hotly pursued by the offi
! cer.
On reaching Front street the two men
tilvned north, and on rounding the corner
tlie officers caught sight of but one man.
the other having disappeared In the fog.
Calling upon the fleeing man to hHlt,
both officers announced they would shoot,
but at that jnncture a colored man. pro
prietor of a fruit stand on Front 'street,
accompanied by his wife, stepped out on
the sidewalk and the vigilant sleuths re
placed their armament and sprinted. See
Ing that the officers were gaining on him.
Kalowich commenced throwing away por
tions of his burden, which proved to be
pairs of new ohoes and rubbers.
Kalowich was run to earth in the cel-
. lar of a deserted building at Front and
Flanders streets. When covered by the
guns of the officers. Kalowich was in the
art' of disposing of a 32-caliber revolver,
which he attempted to hide behind a pile
of rubbish. In the bundle he was carry
ing at the time he was spotted by the
officers was found 11 pairs of new shoes.
. several pairs of rubbers and other, arti
cles which lead the police to believe that
some clothing store was burglarized Sat- I
urday night, although no such affair was
reported yesterday. Kalowich refuses to j

County Clerks of Idaho Counties Get
Together and Take Step That
Brings Consternation. '
LEWISTON, Idaho, Jan. 12. (Spe
cial.) Consternation was caused
among certain classes in Lewiston yes
terday, -when County Attorney Need-ham-
issued orders to Auditor Gifford
to issue no more marriage licenses to
contracting parties under 18 years of
age. It has been the rule at the. Audi
tor's office heretofore to Issue the
licenses to any couple. If their ages
were beneath 18 and the youngsters
had secured the consent of their par
ents for the union, no further ques
tions were Rked-
The move is the result of a confer
ence of Gounty Attorneys -from Latah,
Ada, Nes Perce, Canyon and Washing
ton Counties, held in Lewiston recent
ly. Scores of divorce cases have been
the result pf unions between lovers
too young to know their minds, later
tiring of each other. ,
I.tabo Xot "Whitewashed."
PORTLAND. Or.. Jan. the Editor.)
We,' the undersigned, emphatically deny all
published statements in the local press to the
effect that the executive board of the Oregon
State Federation of Labor did in any man
ner "whitewash" ex-Secretary T. M. Leabo
In exonerating htm from' th. stigma cast
ur-on him by the report of the commltfe on
officers' reports at the fifth annual conven
tion of the Oregon State Federation of
Labor. -The facts are that the newly-elected
secretary, J. F. Cassidy, demanded that the
books, accounts and report of ex-Secretary
Leabo be completely-audited by the board and
if found correct, a statement given him to that
effect. The entire board, being present, ' ac
quiesced In the proposal r and voluntarily,
signed the statement that the books, accounts
and report are correct ' and above criticism.
President C. H. Oram was not present at
the auditing of the books and accounts, but
signed the statement on the authority of his
executive board. -
