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.

NEW VORK, April 27. Federal in

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

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.
