CONVE TON CRITICISM MS R0GKINCHAIR TOW e 5 COEUR D'ALEXE, Idaho, April 27. With the arrival of delegates to the Idaho state republican convention which will meet here tomorrow to came eight delegates to the national convention at Chicago, sentiment was said to be strong for an uninstructed delegation in spite of earlier reports that there might be a contest over sending a delegation instructed for Major-General Leonard Wood. While delegates from northern Idaho coun ties were represented as being "strong for General Wood," those from the south were said to favor the candidacy of Senator Johnson. Iuring the day it was declared that an uninstructed delegation un der the control of Senator Borah would be equivalent to a Johnson delegation. In an informal caucus on the train en route to Coeur d'Aleno the dele gates from southern Idaho conceded four delegates out of eight to north ern Idaho cities. The slate of four delegates from northern Idaho was agreed to by the southerners as fol lows John Gray, Coeur d'Alene; Stanly Eas-ton, Wallace; J. L. Davis, Moscow: Evan Evans, Grangerville. The southern Idaho delegates were not named. The "mixing of medicine" pro ceeded tonight along the lines of .in dorsing the administration of Gov ernor D. W. Davis, sought toy the governor, but opposed, it was said, by J. W. Kagleson, state treasurer, and M. A. Kiger. speaker of the last house of representatives, who also are after the gubernatorial nomina tion. A. H. Connor. L. V. Patch, former Governor Frank Gooding, K. G. Davis and Charles W. Beale, senatorial as pirants, were here tonight. SYRIANS TP BE ACCUSED MORK MERCHANTS WII-L BE CHARGED WITH FRAUD. JS'ation-Widc Plan io Mulct Textile Jobbers and liolcsalers Is Revealed. NEW VORK, April 27. Federal in dictments similar to those returned In Washington, X. C, charging 28 Syrian merchants with conspiracy, to defraud, soon will be sought in many other parts of the- country, it was an nounced here today by the National Association of Credit Men. which has been co-operating with federal agents in an eight months' investigation said to involve the loss of millions of dol lars. Charles L. West, manager of the as sociation's investigation and prose cution department, declared- the as sociation had discovered traces of a nation-wide plan, engineered by edu cated Syrians, to defraud clothing and textile Jobbers and wholesalers. He said that the general scheme was to set up certain Syrian mer chants in business, show them how to operate small st,ores and to build up credit. The "higher ups" then in structed the small merchants to buy on credit large amounts of fine tex tiles handled easily by traveling ped dlers. West alleged that after the goods were received, many of these mall merchants disappeared and the "higher ups" obtained the merchan dise and disposed of It. According to West, New Tork mer chants alone lost $250,000 in the last six months, while other centers af fected were St. Louis, Chicago, Cin cinnati. Detroit. Cleveland. St. Paul. Milwaukee, Seattle, Portland, Or., San Francisco, Los Angeles and New Or leans. BfSHOP APPROVES SENATE Reservations Said to Mean Death of Tyranny in Ireland. NEXAGH, Ireland. April 27.

SHERIFF OUSTS DEPUTY WALLA WALLA "BOOZE SCAX. DAL" ROUSES OFFICIAL. County Prisoners Had Access to Wine Seized In Raids Is Allegation. WALLA WALLA, Wash., April 27. (Special.) Sheriff Yates returned to day from California with an automo bile stolen recently and immediately proceeded to "clean house" by de manding and receiving the resigna tion of Deputy Sheriff and Jailor God bold, named in connection with the recent "booze scandal" at the county jail. Godbold's resignation is effective May 1. "I will not stand for any pt my men to besmirch the name of the sheriff's office in the discharge of his duty, and I have the resignation of Jailor Godbold in my possession," said Sheriff Yates today. "I knew noth ing whatever about the prisoners in the county jail being furnished con traband liquor nor the reported card parties held here by the jailor and the prisoners. If these things were done it was during mv absence and without my knowledge. I did take a half gallon of wine from my office to Miss Kelso, a neighbor who was ill from tuberculosis and who recent ly died from the disease. This is to my knowledge theonlv liquor ever removed from the sheriff's office." Commissioner Moore said today that he was not sure the board has juris diction in holding an inquiry into the recent "booze scandal." but the mat ter' will be talked over by the com missioners. Many around the courthouse believe that the resignation of Jailor God bold will end the scandal which fol lowed signing of affidavits by pris oners that "wine parties" at the jail were numerous and that the prison ers had practically free access to quantities of wine seized in raids.

WASHINGTON-. April 27. Criticism of Rear-Admiral Sims, voiced today before the senate naval investigating committee by Rear-Admiral J. S. Mc Kean, former assistant chief of naval operations, resulted in a tilt between Chairman Hale and Senator Trammel, democrat, Florida, when Admiral Mc Kean was" reprimanded by Senator Hale for indulging in "personalities. The officer declared he was only following a precedent set by Admiral Sims, while Senator. Trammel r marked that. the chairman's objections to personalities had not run against Admiral Sims' "snappy comments." Admiral McKean, whose appeararrce followed completion of the cross-ex' amination of Captain W. V. Pratt, in sisted he was not seeking to defend Secretary Daniels or to "damn Sims.' McKean Denies Charges. Admiral Sims charges that the de lays by the navy department pro longed hostilities four months and cost 600,000 additional lives - were "monstrous," Admiral McKean said, adding that if it had been made by a patient in the "government Insane asylum" it could be understood, but coming from a "rear-admiral, the head of the naval war college, it was an insult to every officer and man in the navy or who served in the nayy dur ing the war." "It has been or will be entirely dis proved," he declared. The charge that the department had no plans for war also was unfounded, he said. He added that one plan had been in existence for years before the war and was corrected up to the time the United States joined the allies and constantly changed as the situa tion altered. The plan was not per fect, he said, because of new elements injected into the war, by German sub marines. Daniels, Hot Sims, Target, Believed. Captain Pratt, in answer to Senator Trammel, who sought to show that Admiral Sims' letter to Secretary Daniels entitled "Some N'aval Lessons of the World W"ar" was in reality a sweeping criticism of Secretary Dan iels and naval officers generally, said he had no reason to doubt Admiral Sims' declaration that it was not in tended as a personal criticism. He could not -avoid the impression, how ever, he added, that Sims was criti cising the chief of naval operations. "I cannot say 'what was in Sims' mind." Captain Pratt said; "he is sometimes impossible." Secretary Daniels was not Admiral Sims' target, he declared. . x Park Being Put Into Shape. CENTRA LI A, Wash., April 27.

Large Space vs. Small Space Lincoln is ' said to have decided that the right length for a man's legs was the length necessary to reach the ground. The length and nature of the message would seem to determine the proper size of space to be used. - This, is a small-space advertisement because it carries a short message without illustration. As publishers we buy small-space and large space advertisements and as publishers we sell large-space and small-space advertisements in our magazines both here and abroad. As buyers and sellers of advertising space we do not believe there is an iron-clad rule governing the best practice in all cases alike. In consulting with prospective advertisers' we avoid offering a universal cure-all with identical dosage.
