STATE FAIR FOUND
BE UNDER CONTROL
PRIVATE INTERESTS
Attorney General Blaok Hands
Down Interesting Opinion—
Idaho Only Assists— Baise
Salary of Secretary.
Management of the state fatr of
Idaho has passed Into the hands of
private parties.
The provision of the state law relat
iv.!. to the duties of the commissioner
of agriculture to the effect that he
shall "co-operate with others In hold
ing a state fair at Boise" prevents the
state from holding a fair and limits
merely to assist others In doing so, At
torney General Roy L. Black holds In
an opinion Issued today In response
to a request by Miles Cannon, com
missioner of agriculture, as to the
status of the fair.
After quoting the statutes relating
to the commissioner's duties In respect
to state fairs, the attorney general
sa ys :
"Little can be added to make the
statute any clearer than the express
words, but you will note that while
the department has a number of sub
ordinate duties with respect to fairs,
such ns beisg custodian of and polic
ing grounds and making certain rules
and regulations, that It Is not author
Ir.ed to hold or run a fair, but by the
express provtslon of subdivision 40, in
lieu of the provision of the old law that
the state board of agriculture should
hold the fair, we have an Instruction
that the department Is to co-operate
with others In holding annually at
Boise, Idaho, a state fair and by sub
division 41, to co-operate with others
In holding the livestock show at Lewis
ton.
"This to our minds, prevents the de
partment from proceeding with the
holding of a fair, and limits its ac
tivities ln such respect to assisting
others In doing so."
The attorney general's office has
been looking Into the status of the fair
and the Lewiston livestock show for
several days, and today issued opin
ions covering the relation of the fair
to the state, the disposition of the gate
receipts, and so forth, and from the
basis of the findings of the aattorney
general, a comprehensive fair law will
probably he worked out for presenta
tion to the next leglslataure.
EAGLESON TREASURER,
It is provided that this money must
he checked out the same aa other
claims against the state. Two years]
ingo $10,900 was transferred from the
state treasury to the fair treasury on
a blanket warrant, making the money!
available to the treasury of the fair to
disburse It as he saw fit.
The attorney general's office holds
the view that this w'ns Improper pro-'
oedure, hut If state officials in power]
should so interpret the law as to allow
such a blanket transfer, the treasurer
of the state fair would have at his
command for disbursement as he saw
fit thousands of dollars every year and
the only check the state would have on
It would be the blanket warrant, trans
ferring In a lump sum tlie amount of
the appropriation to the fair, It Is
claimed.
State Treasurer John W. Eagleson)
has been elected treasurer of tho pri
vate fair association. He signs the
checks Issued by the fair to pay its
blits.
BIG SALARY FOR SECRETARY
<>. P. Hendershot. as secretary of
the state fair, the private corporation,
was given an Increase In salary at a
recent meeting of the fatr directors, of
from $ 20 <in per year to $4000, with a
recommendation by the fair board to |
the Lewiston livestock show, of which
he is also secretary, that that organisa
tton raise him to $S600 per vear. If
this ts done his salary will be $7600
per year.

COMMERCE CHAMBER
AT COEUR D'ALENE
Former Candidate for Con»
gressman in This State
Found Guilty of Espionage
Sees Membership Canceled.
At the chamber of commerce din
ner Wednesday, T. T. Kerl, sitting
within a few feet of ChaWes Dltte
more, heard the latter read the min
utes of the last director's meeting,
which virtually read Kerl out of the
chamber of commerce, says a dispatch.
Following the reading of the min
utes. President Weeks said: "Gentle
men, the question is before you. Are
there any remarks?''
Tn a perfect stillness. Judge R. N.
Dunn arose and read a verbatim copy
of the three indictments upon which
Kerl was found guilty of espionage,
f.nd made a motion that Mr. Kerl bo
informed that his presence was not de
sired at chamber meetings, F. BJork
lund and Tom Stonestreet seconded
the motion.
About «0 members voted on the
question and tho verdict was unani
mous that Kerl's membership in the
chamber of commerce be cancelled.
When President Weeks a.sked Mr.
Kerl if be had anything to say, Mr.
Kerl replied, in part:
DENIES CHARGE.
"TAong ago I realized that no one
mr.n is absolutely necessary to any
committee or any organization, and I
realize verj well that this body can
do very excellent work without my
presence, and I also have a great deal
to do and can keep busy without com
ing to the commercial club and tak
ing an interest In its procedure.
"I want to say that these charges
are false. T never talked to these boys
at «all about Liberty bonds. The only
person I ever talked to about Liberty
bonds was my hanker, and 1 asked
birr, how they were going and he said
they were going fine.
"I have never had any such idea of
the United States soldier; quite the
contrary, I never had any such im
pression; all the boys I have known
have been quite the contrary.''
BORN IN NEW YORK.
Mr. Kerl, on being questioned, stated
he had purchased about $5000 or 16000
In Liberty bonds after he had been
arrested on the charges. He admitted
he had sent $25 as a Red Cross sub
scription in Germany, and about six
weeks ago had subscribed for a fund
io be used in German relief.
When asked as to his place of birth,
Kerl said: "I was born in New York
city and T am just as good an Ameri
can citizen ns any of you. My grand
parents came over long ago."
Kerl was tried on Dec. 14. 161#. and
was convicted of violating the espion
age act and was sentenced in the fed
eral court to pay a fine of $2000 and
costs. Some of the allegations upon
which the government prosecuted w r ere
that Kerl said he wo'>< not buy Lib
erty bonds to furnish money to buy
bullets to kill off relatives in Germany
and that all the statements made in
the newspapers of this country about
Germany w'ere lies.
Since his conviction Kerl has lived
quietly on his estate on the fort
grounds.

NORTH AND SOUTH
HIGHWAY TIED UP
BY
Work on New Meadows-White
bird Stretch Will Compel
Motorists Detour Through
Oregon.
The North and South highway, the
only motor outlet to north Idaho and
the Inland Empire, will be closed to
traffic about Nov. 15 and, except for
certain intervals to be regularly an
nounced. will remain closed until far
into next year because of building op
erations on the New Meadows-White -
bird stretch of about 30 miles on
which contracts for construction were
recently let. Col. D. P. Olson, state
highway director, announced today.
Because of the urgent need for north
and oui j h motor communication, a
schedule of open days will be arranged
and announced later, on which the
public may use the north and south
highway.
MUST MAKE DETOUR.
Motorists desiring to get to north
Idaho or eastern Wasahington will be
compelled to detour through Caldwell
and Weiser to Oregon and Washing
ton.
The contract calls for completion of
the New Meadows-Whlteblrd ling by
January 1, 1921. but the Grant-Smith
company, which has the contract, has
announced that every effort will be
made to finish the work, by July 1,
1920, so that the Inconvenience to the
public may be lessened as much as
possible.
To allow travel while the work was
going on would expose travellers to
some danger, and would greatly delay
the work by compelling the crews to
stop yhlle cars were being allowed to
get past stretches across which ma
chinery might be placed.
