and wife walked Into the room where
Tates. his mother and Mrs. Hayes' five
children were waiting. As soon as
they entered the room Tates drew the
pistol from his pocket and shot thrice

The first shot missed but the second
took effect In the woman's arm. As
she was falling Tates fired again, the
bullet striking Mra Hayes In the neck
and ranging downward, piercing the
lung. Physicians tonight said Mra
Hayes probably would die from the
effects of the wound.

sailant. Tates however, held him at
bay with the pistol and, backing Into a
corner, stood off neighbors who ruBhed

RAIH STOPS FOREST FIRE
LOSS AT STEVEVSOX IS HARD
TO ESTIMATE.
Little Saw Timber Burned, but
Thousands of Cords of Wood Are
Known to Be Destroyed.
STEVENSON, Waslu Sept. 21. (Spe
cial.) A timely rain that put a check
to the forest fire that has been burn
ing east of Stevenson for 24 hours be
gan between I and 4 o'clock this
morning and the settlers are now prac
tically assured of safety.
Fire Warden Ooepel kept men at
the most Important points last night.
Leo Moore reports that If the rain
had not come the fire would have
reached his wood within two hours
and had it not been for the watchful
care of the neighbors and fire war
den's men he would have lost his en
tire Summer's cut of about 400 cords,
anyway. If the fire had reached this
point it would have been Impossible
to have saved the Frank Kale house
occupied by Ed Krausa Four Govern
ment men were put on guard at the
Kale place last night, enabling Mr.
Krause. who was on duty at the Har
ris home with O. C. Train and other
neighbors all yesterday to rest.
The north end of the fire which was
making for the Flynn mill was checked
at Nelson Creek sufficiently to pre
vent It from making much headway
on the west side before the ram leu
this morning.
It is difficult to estimate the . loss
accurately. While there was not much
saw timber burned, thousands of cords
of wood were destroyed. The Touman
Slmpson . Company, J. G. Harris and
Ross-Inman were the heaviest losers.
It Is not known how the fire started,
but it Is thought- that the fire - got
away from some rancher who was
burning slashlnga
LA FOLLETTE MAY CHANGE
Contlnned From First Page.)
That Senator La Follette still enter
tains hope of attaining the Presidency
Is generally recognised. 'Just how he
figures he will benefit by going over
to the Democracy is not now apparent.
unless be figures that , he will be re
ceived with open arms and be at once
elevated to leadership In the Sonate.

THAW. AND DEPUTY SHERIFF B. H. KEL5EA. BELOW THAW.
However that "may be, La Follette Is
firmly convinced that Colonel Roose
velt will soon be back in the Repub
lican party and will be seeking leader
ship of that party, and La Follette will
never again work In the same party
with Roosevelt
Defeat Laid to Roosevelt.
Once Roosevelt's most hearty sup
porter. La Follette is now his most act.
lve opponent. To Roosevelt alone he
attributes his defeat for the Presiden
tial nomination last year. While he
places the bulk of blame on the shoul
ders of the Colonel, La Follette also has
a quarrel with Senator Cummins, of
Iowa, another perpetual aspirant for
the Presidency, for he charges that
Cummins, after urging him to become
a candidate In 1912, turned around and
launched a boom for himself, and thus
sought to divide the La Follette forces,
the Progressive wing of the party.
Having broken with Roosevelt and
with Cummins and having assurance
of their opposition if be remains In the
party, it is perhaps reasonable to ex
pect La Follette to turn up In the Dem
ocratic party, especially since he has
suffered such a change In mind on the
tariff question as was evidenced by his
vote for the passage of the Underwood
bill.

Plans for financing and continuing
the Methodist Institution, the Univer

of conditional donations of $50,000 and

Erstwhile Banker and Gubernatorial

in "Kangaroo Court" - Pro

BOISE, Ida, Sept. 21. (Special.)
The final chapter . In the celebrated
O'Nell case in which B. F. (Barney)
O'Nell, former prominent businessman,
politician, chairman of the Republican
state central committee and defeated
gubernatorial candidate, has been
staged in the Supreme Court of this
state and O'Nell will begin to serve
his prison term of from two to 10
years immediately. Already there are
Indications that friends will endeavor
to bring about his pardon as soon as
,he Is eligible.

since his incarceration has been his
cheerfulness. Since his indictment on
14 true bills by a special grand jury
In the District Court at Wallace he
has been confined In county Jails al
most two years, the term of his min
imum sentence. While in Jail at Wal
lace he was prominent among other
prisoners as leader in kangaroo court
proceedings, provoking considerable
amusement.
During the campaign of four years
ago, when James H. Brady, now Junior
United States Senator from Idaho was
a candidate for Republican gubernato
rial nomination, O'Nell reached his
height In Idaho politics and few faces
were more conspicuously portrayed
over the state. Prior to that time he
was chairman of the state central com
mittee and was strongly spoken of
as a possible "dark horse" candidate
to succeed the late Weldon B. Hey
burn. Troubles Follow Defeat.
O'Nell'e troubles began after his de
feat for the gubernatorial nomination.
He was a director in the Carnegie
Trust Company, of New York, and when
It failed he Is said to have lost heav
ily. Losses were also suffered by him
in newspapers, lumber and timber en
terprises. The climax came when the
State Bank of Commerce, of which he
was president, failed. Later O'Nell filed
a petition of involuntary bankruptcy
In the Federal Court at Coeur d'Alene
and went to Vancouver, where he en
gaged in the lumber buslnesa In the
meantime the grand Jury at Wallace
got Into action and indicted O'Neil
together with the other directors of
the bank of which he was president.
Retain to States Fought.
When an attempt was made to re
turn O'Neil to the United States from
British Columbia he fought extradi
tion. He was returned to Idaho, how
ever. Securing a change of venue from
Wallace to Coeur d'Alene, he was tried
on the charge of making false re
ports to the State Bank Examiner and
was found guilty. He was sentenced
to serve an Indeterminate sentence of
from two to 10 years In the state pen
itentiary. An appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court and the Judgment af

ment would maintain an attitude of
"absolute impartiality" was inter
preted by many officials as general
compliance, morally, at least, with the
proposals made by John Lind for the
elUnlnatlon of Huerta and the hold
ing of a fair election.
Among Constitutionalists familiar
with the situation, who showed a dis
position to doubt General Huerta's mo
tives, the news made little Impression.
The view was expressed that Huerta
had pronounced himself as impartial
merely to remove the suspicion of gov
ernment support to the candidacy of
one whom he might favor secretly.
General Huerta's mention of the army
as guarding the polls evoked the com
ment that In such manner Huerta
would exercise covert control over the
electoral machinery.
By all In Administration circles -.who
heard the news It was agreed that

subterfuge or circumvention of the

ident Huerta's declarations today
would be Increasingly difficult and
that the United States and foreign
nations generally with whlcl It has
Influence probably would be Inclined to
hold the Huerta government rigidly to
Its own announced programme.
The general feeling was that
Huerta's promises, if carried out, meant
the elimination, not only of himself,
but of other government officials. In
cluding Frederico Gamboa, Mexican
foreign minister, suggested as the prob

The effect of these promises,
though not made known in diplomatic
channels, is likely to be of considerable
Importance, as there is a growing ten
dency in Europe to act hereafter in

There is a possibility that this coun
try might ask other nations to with

it not a proper one from Its viewpoint.

WHEN a real catastrophe happens to a telephone system; when
a fire destroys an exchange and the terminal apparatus, or
a storm lays low the pole lines, the value of a big organiza
tion is quickly shown.
When a conflagration swept the city of Chelsea, Mass., it burned
the Bell telephone exchange and destroyed the telephone equipment.
The next day a temporary central station was established, amid
the ruins, and the service restored.
With similar promptness telephone service was re-established
in Baltimore, San Francisco and Bangor, and after the more recent
disasters in the Middle West.
To meet great emergencies, complete switchboards and apparatus
valued at over $100,000, are kept at Chicago and New York, crated
and ready for shipment whenever the call for help comes from any

TIME FIXED AT 21 YEARS
Engineer Who Helped De Lesseps
Believes United States Should
Begin at Once on Water
way at Sea Level.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 21. (Spe
cial.) Philippe Bunau-Varilla. ex
Minlster from Panama to the United
States and for 80 years Identified with
the Panama Canal, Is here. He said
some striking things today about the
canal, notably that the present lock
system would have to give way to a
wider sea level canal.
Varllla was chief engineer under De
Lesseps and when the work was aban
doned by the French in 1891 he stayed
in Panama, devoting himself to get
ting some other nation to dig the canal.
When the republic of t-anama was
formed he was appointed Minister to the
United States and drew up the canal
treaty which was adopted.
Varllla spoke eloquently of the work
the canal would do In peopling the
western shore of Central and South
America, so much superior in climate
for the white man to the eastern shore.
He added about the canal:
"The present lock canal will soon be
obsolete when ships are constructed
which will not pass through it. If the
original work had been planned so the
canal could have been converted Into
a sea level canal, the expense would

pot amount to more than $100,000,0011.
As it Is, It will be much larger and will
take from four to five years to com
plete. "In 21 years after the canal Is opened
it will have reached Its capacity and
will have to be enlarged. This work
can be done easily and cheaply by
dredging on water and transporting
the refuse on water. So the United
States as soon as the canal Is opened
should begin preparations to carry on
the work of transforming it Into a
sea level canal, which need not Inter
