"Washington, Feb. 1J. Disclosures lu
the Mitchell case made public by to
day's press dispatches from , Portland
have ''materially changed the sentiment
in the senate regarding the status of the
senator and the opinion prevails that he
Is now In a serious situation and those
seems to be a decided lack of confidence
In his ability to-extricate himself from
the meshes of the law.. - There la an uu
disguised sentiment that Mitchell's sena
torial .career Is at an end and that the
charges against him 'will culminate la
his Withdrawal from the aenate.
, Mitchell himself maintains a confident
manner and asserts 'that he Will not
resign, . but . the T terrlbler strain - under
which he is laboring- l beginning to
tell-onrhlm, and' it would not surprise
those who are near him to seer him col
lapse phyaloally If the , pressure con
tinues much longer. .: -
Mitchell did not come to the capltol
today aa he haa heretorora doneand
has remained closely In. his rooms.
Congressman Williamson " today 'de
cided he would remain beta" . possibly
until the end of the session and en
deavor to get a -favorable, action on his
bUV-wUlch haa. passed. .tht senate, 0

The chances for the. passage-of -thle
bill were- bright, until the reeent cloud
in the affairs -of Williamson, which nas
served to destroy his ability to secure
desired action f -tha bill. n. .
Williamson's friends In the house are
urging him to come on the floor and
transact bualness recardlesa of the in-
dlctment: He an!0 today, however, that
he will keep -awayv from the house, add
ing: "I have high Ideals aa to what the

IDAHO MAY PROVE A ,:: ;
CORN GROWING STATE
' (Special Diipatck t The Jearaal.)
Moacow, Idaho. Febj -.13. Corn that
will ripen In Idaho haa been evolved in
connection with the experiment station
of the Stats university at this place.
Continuous experiment has disclosed a
certain variety of eastern corn that will
come to maturity In this climate. The
work has been carried on under the di
rection- of Professor Henderson; '
It Is generally known that mudh diffi
culty attends tha growing of corn In
Idaho, while the climate condltiona are
almost perfect for the maturing of
wheat, oats, grasses, barley and other
commercial plants, corn haa never done
well; in facttwehaabeen a failure as
far aa . commercial results are . con
cerned. The difficulty has been that the
cereal will not, .mature properly, hence
the importance of tba discovery. Corn
Is likely to take an Important place In
tha Interior economy of the Idaho farm.
