Burns Denounced. In the report of the executive coun cil William J. Burns was arraigned as an example of his own characterisation of private detectives and the Investi gation of the federation since the Mc Namara trial was declared to be a concerted attempt by employers' asso ciations and subsidised newspapers to destroy the federation and bring Its officers Into disrepute. Farts of the report recommended that the convention aid In the move ment to abolish home work and re ferred to the conservation of natural resources as a measure In which labor should participate. The report also dealt with the "boy scout movement." At the Atlanta convention of the federation a resolu tion was presented denouncing the boy scouts of America as breeders of mili tarism and antagonistic to labor. The report reviewed statements by leaders of the scouts which promised to elimi nate the features that were objectional to labor and recommended that the convention this year refrain from de nouncing the movement. Of the McNamaras the report said: "The McNamaras' offense was a so cial crime. Thinking people who were made to realize the poisonous, mlas mlc influences corrupting the atmos phere of Industrial life were over whelmed by the weight of collective, responsibility devolving upon them as a result of the existence of such con ditions. Economically Insane. "The McNamaras were economically insane, due to imperfect education. In complete education or defective men taUty. "In any case society Is responsible for not remedying the conditions. What concerns labor and society gen erally Is preventative measures and hu man betterment so that life and work ing conditions may be pure, whole some and clean. Those Infected by deadly social poisons due to social neglect are the heritage of our own alms and those of our fathers." Of Bums' connection with the Mc Namara case the report said In part: "Burns has not and could not pro duce a scintilla of evidence to sub stantiate his oft-misstated statement: 'Gompers knew.' '' The report charges that Bums made It appear that officers of the federation were the "higher ups"^ and that when Gompers made reply "this turned upon him the brunt of the at tack." tack." _ __ RUMMAGE SALE OF COLUMBIAN CLUB The rummage sale of the Columbian . club continues to attract large crowds both of men and women.

W. Hart of the supreme court of this state of the action taken. To attorneys the casa Is conceded to be one of Interest. It appears that charges were made against Beakley by attorneys In the southeast. The com plaint in effect made against him was that he used Improper conduct In con nectlon with the trial of a case before J. C. Fisher, a Justice of the peace. A ' committee composed of prominent at • torneys was appointed to investigate the charge and later reported that the . allegation was in their opinion correct and recommended disbarment.

Lauron de Laurence, who calls himself "doctor" and claims to be a Choctaw Indian, Is charged by the police with violations of the Mann act and use of the'malls to defraud. Also, the po lice asserted, that Laurence le a negro and not an Indian. Among the trap pings of the cult found at the "temple" by the police was a wooden cigar store Indian, which was a fetich before which members of the cult prostrated themselves In devotion. JM1UMI« mam it ran MADAM GADSKI. Madam Gadekl, who will be at the Plnney theater tomorrow night un der the auspices of the Boise Choral society, is doing exceptionally brilliant work In her western tour. Her audiences have been large and more tha nordlnary appreciative. The Portland papers were enthusiastic In praise of her recital In that city on October 31, as indicated by the fol lowing: Johanna Gadskl came and sang and conquered. With a program that was everything program should be she showed the wonderful power, the wonderful sweet ness the wonderful control of her su perb voice. Beginning with the Rlttorno Vln cltor" aria from "Alda," she sang songs In German and English, and roused her listeners to enthusiasm with her su perb rendering of the narrative and love death from "Tristan" and Isolde." Gadskl la the pure German dramatic soprano, whose voice Is of that quality that reaches past the head and Into the heart. Her "mezzo voce," always superb in her singing of Gerrpan lieder, was exquisitely clear and bell-like yester day, and as she sang through Schu bert and Franz and Wolf and Strauss she stood supreme. In her group of English songs she was called on to repeat three of the five she sang, and then to tremendous applause she sang the "Erlking." It was a great house full that greet ed her at the Columbia yesterday afternoon, and it was a thoroughly aroused house full that shouted Its bravos as she sang her finale the "Valkyries Cry." Edwin Bchnelder, the composer, ac companied her In a most artistic man ner, played the Brahma Rhapsodls and "Jardine Soue le Pluie" as solos sev encores and showed his great' talents In his handling of the difficult piano score of the "Tristan" and "Isolde" love death. Upon the success of this concert largely depends the advent to Boise of other vocalists, pianists and or chestras to be brought here by the Choral society, who are making every effort to give musical advantages to Boise which are second to no western city. , RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE POLICE ASSOCIATION Through Chief of -Police Webb N. Reeves, the Boise Police Protective as sociation last night extended the fol lowing resolutions of condolence to George O'Neill, whose wife died Mon day and was buried yesterday In SL John's cemetery: "We brother members of the Boise Police Benevolent association and brother officers of the force extend -to you our condolences and heartfelt sym pathies In tills your saddest Jiour of bereavement. If any condolence can be afforded under so heavy an afflic tion It must come from a higher power than ours. "Your own strong sense of a Supreme being and of our duty of resignation to a power that Is beyond our control, and a will that is ever beneficiary directed toward our good must uphold you In that hour of most bitter trial. "We know too well words cannot comfort. This only wo are sure of, that If the present life were all, If It were the only life Intended for us. It would be a cruel mockery to the most fortu nate of us. "Sloping that you will see only the side of the cloud that Is turned to heaven, we are In deep sympathy."

ÜÜ STATE OFFICIALS OF CAllfOmU CALLED TO TH Tart Telegram Sent to Act ing Governor Wallace by Governor Hawley on Sub ject of Quarantine. California must "come across" lnths alfalfa quarantine or there will be some extensive explaining. Governor Hawley today In a telegram eent to A. J. Wallace, acting governor of Cal ifornia, takes tjiat official to task for not answering his telegram with ref erence to the quarantine that state has labeled against Idaho alfalfa. Idaho's chief executive, acting upon reliable information placed In hie hands, states that the original scale now In this state came from Califor nia. He declares that If there Is r.i desire for harmony on the part of California the Gem state will take positive and decided action and see to It that no products Infested In any de gree with scale are permitted to come within the borders of Idaho. Rsaches Critical 8tags. The alfalfa quarantine situation has reached a critical stage. California bars Idaho alfalfa on the grounds that It Is Infested with weevil and has placed a quarantine against that crop here greatly to the detriment of the reputation of the state and to the loss of *he growers. It Is said that the California quarantine also extends to the states of Utah. Montana and Wyoming. * State Horticultural Inspector Mc Pherson has been waging a strenuous war on the California order. Starting it single handed he secured the as sistance of Governor Hawley and since then an attempt has been made to pry California's quarantine off and secure an explanation why this state should be discriminated agalnet. So far they have been unsuccessful. Acting Gov emor Wallace , was telegraphed by Governor Hawley for an explanation In an attempt to adjust the trouble, but no reply has up to the present time been received. Governor Hawley there fore sent the following tart telegram to the California official today: Forwards Tart Talogram. Boise, Idaho, Nov. 13, 1312. Hon. A. J. Wallace, Acting Governor of California, Sacramento, California. Nearly 10 days ago I wired you In regard to quarantine of Idaho alfalfa hay. I have not been honored with an acknowledgment even of my telegram. It Is a matter of surprise that a com munication frori^ the governor of this state on a subject of this importance has not been acknowledged and thA no explanation has been made. I will be greatly obliged If I can hear from you at once on this matter. Our hor ticultural Inspector informs me the original scale now In this state came from California. There should be some understanding between the states In stead of drastic action such as has been taken by your state In order to arrive at a correct conclusion. If there Is no desire for concert of action on the part of California, Idaho will take positive and decided action and see to It that no products Infested In any degree with scale are permitted come within our borders. JAMES H. HAWLEY. Governor of Idaho. Ettor Continues Testimony. Salem, Mass., Nov. 18.—Joseph Et tor, leader of the Lawrence strike, who began his defense yesterday against the charge of murder, con tinued his testimony today. ANOTHER DELAY IN THE DYNAMITE TRIAL Indianapolis, Nov. 13.-—On account of the continued Illness of Allen Spaulding, a Juror In the dynamite conspiracy trial, the hearing was postponed till tomorrow. Thirty witnesses from the Pacific coast have been eummoned to testify at the "dynamite conspiracy" trial con cerning explosions In western states These Include officials who assisted In the dynamite cases at Los Angeles and men ln San Francisco. Seattle and Portland who, the government stated, will be called upon to testify concern ing the movements not only of James B. McNamara, and Ortie McManlgal, but also of Eugene A. Clancy, Olaf A. Tveltmoe and other labor leaders. More than 20 of the Pacific coast witnesses have arrived or are on their way to Indianapolis. / Among witnesses subpoenaed from Salt Lake, where two explosions oc curred on a hotel building built by non-union men, are J. J. Roberts, a police captain, and Carl A. Carstenson, a former patrolman. They are to be questioned concerning incidents al leged to have occurred when guards were not present about the works. Me. Manlgul In his testimony said James B. McNamara had confessed to blow ing-up the hotel on April 18, lSlO.^and to having obtained assistance from JU E. Munsey, a local businesa agent Informers Take (Continued from First Pag») four gunmen Indicted as the actual slayers of the gambler, Herman Rosen thal, yesterday turned state's evidence. Testifying at the gunmen's trial for murder, Shapiro Identified the quartet —"Lefty Louie," "Gyp the Blood," "Whltey Lewis" and "Dago" Frank Clrofld—as his passengers in the "mur der car" which he drove to the Hotel Metropole, where Rosenthal met his fate. He saw them ggt out of the ma chine. he ewore, heard the shots fired wir dschfÜ' that when tliey came hack to tha machine they had aevolvers In that* hands. -On tha Blood" 8haplro said, had placed a revolver to bis head and or dared IM to hurt*y up anid drive away. Ha had hoard "Dago Frank" say, he testified, that Police Lieutenant Back er, alnee convicted of instigating tha murder, had "fixed the cops." Shapiro's appearance as a state's witneaa was one of the results, ac cording to District Attorney Whitman, of tha death of ~B!g Jack" Zellg; leader of the east side gangsters, to which the four gunmen belonged. Shapiro testified on the stand yesteMay that he had refused to Identify the gunmen through fear of being killed. "Shaplrp told-me," Mr. Whitman ex plained after court adjourned, "that he waa afraid that if he testified against the gunmen 'Big Jack' Zellg would have him 'croaked.' "When Zellg was kilted Shapiro got his nerve back and decided to tell the truth." Mr. Whitman added that the In dictment agalnat Shapiro In all prob ability would be dismissed. ss*TSŒç=saeaH=aeséfi— Quiet, Cultured (Continu sd from First Page) tlons Incident , to so-called society. Mrs. Wilson spoke Intimately of her self and her girls In an interview re cently: "Jessie Is a graduate of ths Wom an's col|ege at Baltimore and has always been Interested In social work. It was a shock to me when she first announced her Intention of working in Philadelphia In the mill dtstdlct, but I could not let my old-fashioned prejudices Interfere with what she thought was her duty. She has done a great deal of good, I know, by her visits to the factory girls and in her club for working women. "In the spring she was elected member of the national board of the Young Woman's Christian Associa tion. Her father and I told her that she could not do both, that she must either give up the settlement work or that she must not accept the office, and he thinks, and we do also, that for a time at least h*r work should be among college girls of her own class whom she can arouse to a sense of their responsibility to those other girls with whose lives she has become so familiar In Kensington." Jessie Wilson is a pretty girl with blonde hair bound about her head In close colls, her smiling face and look of complete understanding and friend liness making It easy to see yrhy the mill girls fedore her and why they are rather sorry than otherwise that Woodrow Wilson has been elected to the presidency. Margaret Woodrow Is tall and looks like her father, whose voice she has Inherited. "Margaret Is our bachelor girl," said Mrs. Wilson. "She has her Scotch grandmother's name—Margaret Wood row, a voice which we all think very beautiful and which she Is cultivating In New York with Miss Lillian Gilles pie. She has a studio In Fifty-eighth street and lives a very Interesting life, meeting art students and musicians and coming In contact with the very people we think will help her most In her music. She Is a member of the Three Art club and Is a very modern young woman." "And Nellie," she said, "Is our art ist. Nellie Is studying at the Acad emy of Fine Arts In Philadelphia She has been there for two years, and her Instructors say she shows great talent. Her work Is not all feminine In touch, It Is strong and virile, nnd we hope some day that she will be an Illustra tor. Margaret Inherited her father's voice, but they say that Nellie Inherit ed my talent for painting. The Wilson girls are all of a good marriage age. Is It doing Mrs. Wilson any Justive to believe that while she may not become a designing mother she will yet continue to be a perfect one? So, following It up. It Is safe to conclude that her three girls will leave the White House In 1917 either brides or hopeless old maids. TURKEY GIVES UP (Continued from First Page) letter fqrom King Charles to Emperor Francis Joseph. In most of the European capitals more hopeful feeling Is displayed that peace will not be disturbed by the Austro-Hungarian difficulty. Montenegrins Meet Reverses. London, Nov. 13.—A Vienna dispatch to the Dally Telegraph says that after a desperate battle the Montenegrins have been compelled to evacuate Ales sla and the port'of San Gulovannl de Medua. Austro-Hungarian Demands. • Belgrade, .Nov. 13.—.The newspaper Pravda says the Austro-Hungarian minister called yesterday on Premier Patchitlch and proposed that Servla should give guarantees that Austro Hungarian Industry and commerce would receive preferential treatment: that Servla should not touch Albania and should not Insist on an outlet to the Adriatic, but be satisfied with an outlet to the Aegean sea. The minister personally advised the premier to do his utmost to' induce the Servian government to accept these conditions^ which he declared would do much to Improve futur» rela tions between the two countries. Cause of Turkey's Defeat. Washington, Nov 11.—The secret of the almost complete failure of the sup posedly Invincible Turkish army le not far to seek, In the opinion of officers of the general staff of the United States army; False economy and poor administration are said to tell the story. ' The American tactical experts have welcomed the opportunity to drop purely theoretical and academio "paper war" problems which largely engage their attention In time of peace, for the study of the tremendous military bvents In the Balkana.\Some of «the officers have served as military at taches or as observers at the groat military maneuvers held in ths very country whloh now Is tha seat wf war. "In tho days of Sultan Abdul Ham id," a mamber of tho general staff said today, ''ths Turkish army would hava ■wept away the allied forces like chaff before tho »wind. Far-sighted, that monarch had availed himself of tho Germans seeking to sell Krupp guns to the Turks and to secure certain rail way and trade concassions to train the Turkish army on the Gennan system. Not only were tho German military schools thrown open to Turkish offi cers who eagerly embraced the oppor tunity by hundreds, but German offi cers were sent to Turkey, to Instruct ths sultan's soldiers . At their head was Von der Goltz, one of the foremost soldiers of the world and afterwards a field marshal,In the German army. So effective was hts work, that according to military ex perts. the Turkish army, fighting on Its own ground, practically was Invin cible. Then came the downfall of the sul tan and the new regime In Turkey. There was a feverish desire to devel. op the country materially and the lib oral supply formerly allotted for the army was diverted to the Improve ment of roads and to the construction of public works on a large wale. Tha German Instructors wore dismissed, and, a more serious error, because of their loyalty to the deposed Abdul Hamid, tha Young Turkish officers, educated In German schools and meth ods were driven off. "Naturally disorganisation began and with few competent and capable officers, the army soon was afflicted with dry rot. Economy was the watchword and no new supplies were bought.

This expUlns the desperate hand-to hand encounters of the Turks. They had no ammunition for tbetr musket* and one battery after another was abandoned to the Bulgarians, Servians, Greeks and Montenegrins because the caissons were empty. 'There was one other and very Im portant cause for the Turkish defeat and that was unavoidable by any gov ernment alive to tho situation to tbo Balkans. Old Abdul Hamid, through hts spies, surely would have known what the present Turkish government failed to realize—that the Bulgarians and Servians had entered Into a secret altance and were organising for this very strugle. When the critical mom ent came on September SO and the order for mobilisation went out, all tha Bulgarians were with their colors and ready for battle within six days— a marvelous military record. "It was 14 days before the Turkish army was mobilized, and then place of the 440,000 well trained troops that should have spread across the Thracian plains, from Macedonia t< the Aegean sea, there was a make shift little army of 140,000 men, and this, too, composed In large part cf raw recruits, for another unpardona ble error had been- committed lrr al lowing one-third of the whole army to be discharged even before the nsw conscripts had replaced them." to To Choose Now Bishop.
