BOISE. Idaho, Jan. 31. (Special.)
One of the most conspicuous devel
opments in political circles in Idaho
during the past week was the formal
call issued by John Thomas, chair
man of the Republican state central
com11 ittee, to convene the committee
here February 11 to set the time an
Place for the holding of the repu
lican state convention which will
name Idaho s delegates to the national I
convention at Chicago June and to
decide on the manner in which dele
gates from counties in the state con
vention will be apportioned. The fo
nial announcement was also made that
the on-Partisan league has ordere
a shakeup among its leaders and ad
vlsers and that W. G. Scholtz, for th
past two years active in directing its
affairs, has been retired under the
guise of a resignation. It is also
made clear that he can no . longer
dictate the policies of the league'
daily paper, the Free Press.
The fight on Scholtz has been of
long standing. There has been
active minority determined to ous
him. It has at last obtained his
resignation and a meeting of the
stockholders of the publishing com
pany has been called for February
to discuss the policy to be followed.
The formal call for this meeting to
stockholders severely criticises the
management of the league paper by
Scholtz, the editorial policy and fail
ur to take a vigorous stand
league issues. It Is announced Scholtz
will enter the lumber business.
Policy Is Disappointing.
"Mr. Scholtz," said the statemen
of the minority stockholders, "has
resigned as manager of the Free
Press, and the present board of direc
tors has secured the services of W.
V. Wiegand of Pocatello to assume
the management We regret to state
that the policy that has been fol
lowed during the past six months has
been a very great disappointment to
us, but as minority members of th
board of directors, we have been un
able to secure a change. We feel
that the paper as a news medium
has been far from satisfactory, and
editorially has not stood for th
things intended by the stockholders
when the paper was organized."
While the leaguers are quarrelin
the republicans are looking forward
to the big combined harmony gath
ering In early February, starting with
the meeting of the legislature in ex
tra session on February 11 and fin
ishing with the meeting of the state
committee and the Lincoln banquet on
February 12.
Three Methods Proposed.
There are three methods open to
the committee to determine the man
tier in which the delegates to the
state convention shall be named. The
first of these is through party caucus.
The second Is through a direct pri
mary and the third by leaving their
selection entirely to the executive
committee of the county central com
mittees. Until the primary election
can be held in the respective coun
ties, the law provides that the pow
ers and duties of the county com
mittees shall be exercised by the
present state and county committees
of the respective political parties
now in existence. It Is likely that
in most counties the county commit
tees will name the delegates if the
state, committee decides to give them
power.
Secretary of State Jones has put
into operation other election ma
chinery as required by law and has
just certified to the various county-
auditors the delegates apportioned
from counties to hold seats In the
state conventions next fall which will
nominate the candidates for congres
sional and state offices.

CATHOLIC CHURCH THREATENS
CAPTAIN PACJj PERIGORD.
French War Hero and Former
Priest Determined to Wed Young
Woman of Pasadena.
Word that Captain Paul Pcrigord.
conspicuous war hero, French high
commissioner, officer of the French
army and for a year past an instruc
or at Throop college of technology in
Pasadena, has been threatened with
excommunication from the Roman
Catholic church because of his deter
mination to marry Miss .Emily Mc
Bride of Pasadena is of interest to
many Portland people who met Cap
tain Perl cord when he visited this
city in 1918.
The excommunication question has
arisen because Captain Perigord was
ordained as a Catholic priest, and the
dictum of the church officials is:
"Once a priest, always a priest." How
ever, Captain Perigord defends his
action by saying that he voluntarily
severed his connection with the
church during the war because of
honest intellectual differences. Arch
bishop Dowling of St. Paul is report
ed as saying that no priest volunta
rily can quit the church.
Captain Perigord toured the United
States in 1918 under the auspices of
the National Council of Defense. He
spoke at the public auditorium in
Portland under the auspices of the
Oregon State Council of Defense at a
time when a state conference was in
session.

notice of one week for each bill and
holding of public meetings by the
committee to which the bill Is re
ferred during that week, and com

BERLIN, Jan. 31. (Special Cable.)
Life was an exciting gamble for
visiting Americans this week, for the
bottom dropped out of the mark, but
was followed by a sharp recovery.
For just a few hours Americans her
could sell dollars for 100 marks.
The lucky chaps who picked the psy
chological moment could buy 200
glasses of beer for $1. a bottle of
champagne for 40 cents and a bottle
of Rhine wine for 15 cents. A table
d'hote luncheon at a flrst-class restau
rant cost a quarter; a box at the
grand opera, 30 cents; a suit of good
clothes, tailored to measure, $10-.
For $10,000 in hand you could have
become a German millionaire or have
bought a palace. A street car ride
cost 3 mills; a newspaper, one-half
a mill; cigars from 1 cent up.
Many Long Faces Appear.
The frenzied finance flurry saw
many long faces on Americans after
ward, for they had either excessive
confidence in German marks too early
in the game and sold their dollars
when marks were much higher, or
else had lost their nerve when the
mark touched a hundred for a dollar
and held off expecting the mark to
go still lower. Many visitors are
developing the same symptoms over
the rates of exchange as the lambs
display who stick to the stock ticker
at home.
A curious effect of the slump In the
mark was that many jewelry shops
closed up for two days and refused to
sell anything until they saw where
the mark was going to land and could
boost the prices of Jewelry accord
ingly.
Another curious feature is that
many Germans show signs of bitter
resentment against Americans an
other foreigners with sound mone
because they are able to buy so much
chaper than Germans. Some store
keepers began to regard foreign pur
chasers as if they were plunderers or
highway robbers or cut to steal the
pennies from blind beggars.
Cost of Living Jumping.
For Germans the cost of living has
been jumping on one thing after an
other until prices have gone up 60
per cent on the average. Soap has
just gone up 300 per cent. A three
ounce cake of toilet soap costs four
marks. Freight rates will shortly be
increased 100 per cent and an increase
In passenger rates unknown as yet.
will soon follow. Postage, telegraph
and telephone rates must soon be
boosted again.
"Germany is being bought out" is
a phrase on most German lips. Public
opinion is beginning to be aroused
by reports of large, real estate pur
chases by foreign interests, parti
cularly by Dutch capitalists and
speculators, who recently bought
whole blocks of houses in Berlin.

" 'This country will not be a good
