There was no knockout at the Demp- sey-Gibbons fight in Shelby -July 4,| but there have been two terrific ones since, banks in both Great Falls and | Shelby taking the count. and every one around these parts is wondering | whether there will be any more. i It's a queer twist of fate that |h9]‘ man who saved the $300.000 world | championship fight from failure when | he raised $100.000 within twenty-four | hours on Jume 15 was unable, three weeks later, to save his own bank from closing its doors for the ap-| parent lack of $25,000. The inside story of the closing of | George H. Stanton’s bank, the Stan- | ton Trust apd Savings Bank, came to light teddy. The tragic apgle in| the bitter experience is that a bungle ' in a telegram from New York brought it all about. The Stanton Bank had honored a check for $25.000 on an eastern bank and had sent it through for collection, the sum to b mitted to a Helena corre: bank, where it was to be d 1o the credit of the Stanton institu- | tion At 11 o'clock Monday morning when tellers of the nton bank were ting cash ready to take to the clearing | house, a telephone call came from the Helena_ bank s: that a_wire from New York advised payment had been &topped on the § 000.

KILLING OVER DOG BRINGS LIFE TERM | Aisn Sahe s Man Who Slew Poisoner of Animal Begins Sentence, With Par- don Hope. Special Dispateh to The Star. BATON ROUGE, La., July 11.—Carl Holbrook ha’ begun a_life sentence in the Louisiana state penitentiary here for killing the man who killed his dog. He was convicted in Beauregard parish where nearly all the officials | are related to the man he shot and| killed and by a jury, two members of | which were afterwards found to be| related by marriage to the dead man. Largely because of these facts, Hol- brook was brought to the executive office here at the request of Gov. ernor Parker. It is thought the Goy- _wanted to pardon him, but in .ouisiana the pardon board must act before the Governor. Holbrook's friends back in Beauregard intend to_apply for a pardon for him. i Holbrook, with a splendid record of service overs went to_ live in Merryville, La., last fall. He was a | sawyer and aside from his wife his | chief companion was an imported | English setter, named “Boc.” The dog had practically been Hol- brook’s other self for two years. .One morning the dog_was found dead in his master's yard. He had eaten a- piece of poisoned sausage. Demands Pay for Dog. Holbrook believed Robert E. Wel- horn. one of the most prominent res- idents of the parish, killed the ani-| mal. Three days later he met Wel- born and asked him if he had poison- ed the dog. Welborn declared he had, saying the dog killed several. sheep. | Holbrook said that he would have | Ppaid for the sheep and demanded that Welborn pay for killing the dog. “If you want any money now is the | time to get it,” Welborn is quoted as ' saying, and, according to testimony at the' trial. he moved his hand to- ward his hip pocket, and Holbrook believing he was about to draw & revolver, drew his own and shot him. Holbrook surrendered immediately the police, and relatives of Welborn, who removed his body, said that -he Wwas not armed. The judge who charged the jury said the mere kill- ing of a dog did not justify any one | in taking human life, and the verdict of guilty was brought in. MAY USE NAVY SHIPS.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. July 11— Ninety-three words in less .than four minutes was the speed at- tained by Walter C. Humstone, vice president of the Hamiiton Trust Company of New York, in telegraphing a message last night to William J. Lloyd of Denver in accordance with the annual custom of the old-time telegraphers. Mr. Humstone. . who was superinten- dent of the Western Union in New York for twenty vears, had not _ previously touched a telegraph key for forty years. Mr. Lloyd was formerly a Western Union official. Mr. Humstone's message —was recorded on an_ indestructible disc at the Edison laboratory and will be heard for the first. time in public at the annual banquet of the Pioneer Telegraphers' Organ- ization in Denver on September S. The association is composed of more than 200 members in all parts of the world, all of whom are more than seventy years of age. The custom of sending a personal message by Morse code to the an- nual banquet was Inaugurated in 1920, when Thomas A. [Edison acted as sending operator and David H. Bates, President Lincoln's private telegrapher, roceived the message. DEADLOGK. GRIPS U.S-TURKS PARLEY |Ismet’s Diplomatic Victories Over Allies Have Had Effect on Negotiations. { Br the Associated Press LAUSANN Jul Turkish diplomatic lallies in the Lausanne discussions have reacted on the American nego- tiations for a revision of the old | Turkish treaty. and things are not | Boing so smoothly at present as had ibeen expected. There is a sort of deadlock on some of the clauses, jalthough neither the Americans nor {the Turks will explain the reasons {for the hiteh. It is learned that Ismet Pasha. hav. the’ ing finished with the allies, and “hav ling finished them.” as some have icommented. told his experts to speed {up the American negotiations, so that i the American treaty would be read {for signature immediately after general European peace was signed Informal discussions on cencession are continuing between the allie Turkey, and Ismet has promised rew that American rights will be fully protected in both the allied and American freaties Pasha has telegraphed to the pardon of seventeen Greeks condemned to death by court-martial at Constaninople. DIFFERENCES MINOR. U. S. Officials Not Alarmed at De- lay at Lausanne. Reports from Lausanne that treaty negotiations between American and Turkish representatives are deadlocked are regarded in official circles here a referring to a temporary delay in selec. { tion of the specific language to be used in the treaty. So far as known in Washington, there is on'y one point upon ‘which agreement in substance has not already been reached. The sole question still to be settled relates to Turkish recog- nition of the American citizenship of former Turkish subjects who have been naturalized in the United States, but have returned to Turkish territory to live. “That point has long been a diffi- cult one to handle, not with Turkey alone, but with many other countries, but its adjustment at this time is not consiered essential to completion of the Lausanne treaty. The treaty under discussion is un- derstood to be designed primarily to lay down general priuciples which be applied after ratification to specific cases in Turkey involving American rights or interests. Some of its provisions have been contin- in the separate peace treaty between Turkey and the allies. but the Turk- ish-allied discussions have reached a point where it is believed there need Be no further delay on that account. Statements made in Lausanpe that the British have surrendered their position relative to the Turkish Pe- troleum Company concession clause of the Turkish-ailied treaty, “In def- erence” to the American viewpoint, have caused some amusement among officials here in view of the nature of the substitute clause proposed by the British. The original clayse was in the na- ture of a blanket validation of a cer- tain class of commereial concessions in Turkish territory, while the previ ously -British substitute appears on examination to be a specific valida- tion for the Turkish Petroleum Com- pany concession. Since this was the particular concession to which Amer ican objection was raised officials ar t a loss to understand how the Brit sh change of front could be de- scribed as being made in deference to American opinion. S T EDITGR TO TAKE STAND. Carl C. Magee to Answer Charge of Contempt of Court. LAS VEGAS, M., July 11.—Carl C.

Rockefeller, who returned today from Ham- burg. But the little ruse is cost- ing them more and more dearly, for most of the toupee crtists of France and Germany were killed in the war. g = “Men are willing to pay any price for a toupee that will make them look young,” Schurig said. “The only trouble is that such a toupee is a work of art. Every hajr must be perfectly matched. And before the task is even begun, ! a plaster cast of the head must be made.

The holding up for twenty-four hours of mail to be sent abroad on the steam- ship Leviathan was not an unusual practice, Superintendent Sands of the foreign majl service of the Post Office | Department said today, in commenting on criticisms of the action abroad. Un- der the Jones ehipping act, he said, the department is directed to forward mail on American ships “if practicable,” and regulations Dpreviously issued ordered mail held up for as mueh as twenty-four hours to give United States vessels the preference. Referring to statements that the Brit- | ish liner Aquitania, waich salled twenty- four hours ahead of the Leviathan, was deprived of its mail cargo, so that it could be carried by the American vessel, Mr. Sands said the Leviathan had facili- ties for sorting on board, which would equalize the delay. “The British policy. it was said at the | department, has always been to give its mail to the fastest ship, but inasmuch as Great Britain has usually had the speediest craft there has never been a great question of preference. Despite this policy, it was added, if a fast Brit- ish ship were delayed -the mail usually was given to another British ship.
