POLICEMAN WHEN ANDREWS WON'T GO (Continued From First Page) the call ayor. Mayor Calls in Policeman. Promptly Mr. Andrews ruled Mayor out of order and instructed the clerk to pay-no attention to him. Again the mayor asserted and again Mr. Andrews denied it. Then his honor thrgatened to com- pel Mr. Andrews to Vvacate if he still refused and insisted on talking as a égmmissioner. Paving no heed of the meeting,” roared the -then true to his word Mavor Quigley grabbed the ’'phone. “902—Hello!"” he come right up to the lic safety.” All the time Mr. Andrews contin- ued to address the commissioners and minute later Officer Hart saluted in athe doorway. “Now Mr. Mayor,” said Mr. An. drews, “I'd be more than pleased to listen to you, but you are here as & visitor only. I've taken counsel in this matter, and no doubt you have, and 1 propose.to exercise my author- ity. I shall accept the ruling of the courts, but until then will not recognize your right to remove me. a visitor I accord you the privilege of.the floor, your authority goes no further.” Ignoring these remarks the turned to the clerk saying: “Mr. Clerk, 1 don't recognize Mr. Andrews. This board Is composed of three men, Messrs. Healey, Mee- han and Alling.” Referring ta the statement that the " ¢courts must pass upon the removal e mayor declared that ‘until the courts do pass on it Mr. Andrews is removed by me and can't act and on this I'm the judge. Now I ask you to vacate. I have called in an of- ficer, but I don’t want any row, but if you make it necessary force shall be used. As mayor I shall have to call on the officer. Officer Hart!” ‘““‘Well, I'll hear you as a citizen, seplied Mr. Andrews to the mayor's words. Quick as a flash came “You'll hear me for what I am “I'm a commissioner ‘“No, you're not——' Further dialogue was cut short ghen Mr. Andrews again arose and said, “Mr. Mayor, I want you to look uptn this in a sensible manner. I am a commissioner and your order removing me will have to he settled by the courts. Until it is settled vou have no right to remove me from the chair and T'll have you know you have no right to have me removed by an officer. My advice "“to: you is that you should respect my i and then if yvou see fit take it to courts.” “I have settled that matter al- ready,” asserted the mayor with ve- hemence, and then again there ensued another of the “I am a commissioner —You are not” dialogues until the mayor, again turning to the clerk, or- dered that worthy to read the call of rb\e meeting. Commissioner Healey Butts In. At this Commissioner Healey butted into the fracas. “I object. You have no authority to try and run this meet- ing,” he shot at the mayor. He, too, was ignored, the only an- swer the mayor gave being that he as not running the meeting but was :\pmy there to see that Mr. An- dréws didn't, either. He then turned to the nervous policeman and sald, “Will you remove that man?" “Officer Hart, 1 give you an not to remove me. The mayor has no authority and T, as chairman of the board of public safety, turn to the gity charter which states that the Bbard of public safety shall have com- plete charge of the police and fire d partments.” Again he denied the may- or’'s right to order his removal by the police. The policeman hesitated. Once morc the mayor the clerk to read the call smore Commissioner Healey opjected. When. in response to the srder. Clerk Cashmore did read the all Mr. Andrews promptly ruled it out because, he declared. the mayor had no such right. Then to the officer the mayor read the charter which gives him the rights of the chief exccutive. “Officer Hart, the mayor has no ht to remove me,” shouted Mr. An- ews, his voice husks Instantly Commissioner Healey took up the cry, “You have no right.” “Mr. Andrews, 1 have been very lenient with you. The meeting will now proceed.” This from the mayor. “The meeting will not proceed this from the indignant Mr. Andrev e ————e e ettt BREAKS A COLD IN A FEW HOURS said, “Officer board of pub- mayor the reply, order instrucred and once faithfully mayor's WITHOUT QUININE | First dose of “Pape’s Cold Compound™ relieves all Grippe misel Don't stay sufffed-up!

Alling Moves For Balloting. Further discussion was temporarily halted by Commissioner Alling's state- ment of, “I move we proceed to hal- lot for a temporary chairman.” Un- daunted by Mr. Andrews’ protests Mr. Alling put the question, declared it a vote and then instrusted the clerk to pas around ballots to Commissioners Meehan, Healey and himself. Commissioner Healey refused to re- and did not vote. The other two men did and Commis- sioner Alling was declared to be the temporary chairman. remark Orders Cop to Remove Andrews. This over Mr. Andrews put up a protest and the officer was instructed hy the mayor to remove him. As the husky policeman laid his hand on Mr. Andrews’ arm the latter clung tightly tc the sides of his chair and pro- tested that he was a commissioner and it could not be done. The mayor in- formed him it would be done if he didn't behave and then Mr. Andrews asked: ‘“Are you having him arrest me 2" “I don’t want to have to lock You up,” replied the mayor, “but you will have to be quiet. That's all T've got Suiting action to the word the mayor left a few minutes later, the board having been reorganized to his satisfaction, with Commissioner Alling as the chairman pro tem. With this new responsibility on his shoulders Mr. Alling remarked: “This board is now made up of three men and T declare B. Alling is temporary chairman. “Mr, Alling Is entirely out of order,” piped up Mr. Andrews. Commissioner Mechan Speaks. At this juncture the privilege of the floor was accorded Commissioner Meehan, who spoke of serving a long time as commissioner and regretting the deplorable affair that has taken place. In his remarks he referred to Mr. Andrews only as ‘‘ex-chairman” and assured his listeners that his re- lations with him had always been friendly and if, at anyv future time, he could vote for him he would. At present, however, he did not think the city’s affairs should be tied up by any wrangling and expressed a hope that the mayor and Mr. Andrews would get tegether and patch up their difficulties in a satisfactory manner, pending the court's decision. to Alling Takes Charge. Once more there was a lull proceedings but Commissioner Alling made it short lived by asking that the business proceed. From then on for several minutes there was a repetition of previous events. Both Mr. Alling and Mr. Andrews declared the other out of order and each claimod to be the rightful chafrman. Both, inci- dentally, gave orders to the clerk, who mumbled helpless]; “Well, you both order me and I don’t know what to do.” But he did do as Commissioner Alling said in regard to bringing out any business. Mr. Alling also ad- dressed the board, setting forth the facts' as he saw them and saying he would fill the role of temporary chair- man. When further interruptions were made by Mr. Andrews Commis- sloner Alling warned him that if he did not stop he would have to call the cflicer to eject him, as much as he hated to do it. “Why, it is you who are out of order and T could order the officer to rut you out—but T wouldn’'t think of doing it,” flared up Mr. Andrews. “We will now proceed with business,” said Mr. Alling. “Yes, we will now proceed with the Lusiness—but under my orders,” shouted Mr. Andrews. Alling Calls on Policeman. But little business was transacted. A letter was received from the water commissioners and when Mr. Andrews told the clerk to make a record of it Commissioner Alling told him to pay no attention to the former. Notice of Special Oflicer Carrides’ suspension was next read and Mr. Andrews and Commissioner Healey declared that it should be attended to at the next regular meeting with the officer in at- tendance for a hearing.

As soon as the meeting had broken up Mr. Andrews shouted to the gap- ing multitude outside, “Good evening, gentlemen. What ‘re vou standing out there for? Why don’'t you coma inside.

Alling An- Mr. Helena, Mon., Jan. 5.—Billy Rum- sey is the happiest man in Helena. Successively a stage driver, miner and a member of the vigilantes commit- tee, that famous organization which first brought law and order into the mountain state, Billy Rumsey recently reached the pinnacle of his ambition when he carried away the grand prize as the best tango dancer at the an- nual charity ball, a masque affair which was held at the auditorium. Billy Rumsey has passed the eighty- second milestone along his eventful road of life, but those who pass him along the street take him for a man of fifty. His step is springy, his eve clear, and his shoulders straight. He learned to dance when a mere youth and he has been literally dancing his way through life for nearly seventy vears. His ability as dan and his fondness for the exercise are known throughout the state. a Knows Latest Steps. But it was at the charity ball that Billy Rumsey came into his own, Dressed in the rough garb of the pio- neer of two decades ago he presented a picturesque picture on the ballroom floor. And Billy Rumsey can cer- tainly dance. All of the latest steps he knew far better than the budding debutante, and as he stepped to the music of the tango with his youthful partner nearly all the other dancers with one accord stopped to admire the young-old man. Of the unusually large list of dances Billy Rumsey ‘sat out” but two, and as he paused to rest during these two brief intermissions his memory wan- dered back to the days that are gone a8 he related a few incidents of the days of early Montana when he, as a member of the vigilantes commit- tee, "helped to mould the destinies of the Treasure State. Lawlessness Almost Unknown. Tn the Montana of today is almost a thing unknown. are heard the shouts and s cowboy revellers as they up a little frontier town in their evening’s amusement. Silenced are the guns of “bad men” and road agents who 8o successfully plied their trade in those days when Bannack, first known as “Grasshopper Diggings,” was fhe principal outpost of Montana civiliza- tion. Those were the davs of fifty years ago, the days when the ends of jus- tice were served, not through the wis- dom of a jury of twelve, but by the unerring and unfailing click of the “16." 1t was a day when every man's life was in his hands, and those hands served best which had learned to “pull” first. lawlessness No more Killings Daily Occurrence, It was in the days of '83 that a de- mand for law and order st began to assert itsclf in Montana.

Of those who remain, Billy Rumsey, one of the hest known citizens of IHel- ena, has stored away within the re- cesses of his memory many interesting tales of the frontier days, and as he in the brilliantly decorated ball room recounting incidents in which he took part his eyes kindled and the warm red blood of the young man of fifty vears ago flowed once more | through his veins as he lived for a moment in the past. Pirst Kxperience in da sat 1863. It was in the latter part of Octo- ber, 1863, that Billy Rumsey had his first experience’ with the bad men of Montana Tt was during that month that he entered the employ of the Peabody & Caldwell stage line as driver, his route being from Virginia City to Bannack A few days after he had begun driving the stage he had his first ex- perience with the road agents nd he still remembers the incident as though it were yesterday He was driving the down stage from Virginia City to Bannack at the time the first of the two holdups in which he was vietim. “We left Virginia City in a driving snow storm,” he said in relating the story to a coterie of friends who were grouped about him. “I had but three passengers with me and we were making good time until we reached the rclay station on Stinking Water Creek. We were to have changed horses there, but when we arrived we found the corral empty, and men had to scour the surrounding country in search of the aninials, Wen¢ to Bunton's. a “Because of this delay it was nearly the ranch afterward road dark when we reached Bill learned agent gang and was later hanged for the part he plaved in those early days. Bunton took the stage at that place to go with us the remaining few miles to Bannack. “We were only few road from the ranch when, looking up the road at the brow of an ap- proaching hiil, I saw two men wrapped in blankets, with hoods over their heads and guns in their hands stand. ing in the middle of the road As soon as I saw them I knew what we up against, so I called to the inside the coach that we were going to be held up and told them to get out their firearms. “When we came up to the men they ordered me to get down off the seat and ordered all the passengers to get out and throw up their hands. I told the leader of the pair to go to hell, that 1 wasn't going to let my team run away. At that, Bun- ton, who had been feigning fright and was continually pleading for mercy at the hands of the road agents. quickly offered to hold the horses, so they ordered him to grab hold of their heads, while T had to go from one passenger to another and get what money and valuables they had. Got Away With $2,200. “They got with about and then ordered They told me if T said anything about the holdup in Bannack they would kill me thegnext time they saw me. However, I reported the pair az soon as I reached my destination. George Ives and Frank Parrish, both of whom I helped to hang some months later, confessed their part in the holdup, as dia Bill Bunton.” There was another holdup in which Billy Rumsey was a near victim, and he laughed heartily as he told of the incident. “That time three men stuck up the stage about twenty miles the other fide of Virginia City, near Alder Gulch,” he said. *I had five pas- sengers with me on that trip. 1 hap- pened to get a glimpse of the road agents before they saw me, o I told the boys inside the coach what was up and cautioned them to hide their money and gold dust in the bottom of the coach, ‘“When we camec upen the three men they ordered me to get down and go through the passengers.

State department offl- cials, as a result, are confronted with the unpleasant necessity of deciding vhether steps shall be taken to bring about the withdrawal from Washing- ton of the German attache in question Situation Very Embarrassing. The situation is regarded officially as one of considerable diplomatic im- pcrtance and very embarrassing for this government to handle. Tt is this phase of the passport situation which, it is belleved, has de terred Secretary Bryan from issuing a statement setting forth the actual ex- tent of the plot which had been un- covered and which led to several ar- rests in New York on Saturday Some officials have desired that this step be taken to neutralize exaggerations of the extent of the passport frauds and the congequent damage 10 the prestige of passports in the eyes of belligerent rations Pew involved Fa The fact is that the number of pass- ports obtained through the operation of the scheme was less than twents and officials have felt that this fact together with the announcement that the department of justice had traced the scheme in all its probable rami- fications, should be given to the public immediately. It is understood the de- partment of justice shared this opinfon, Secretary Bryan, however, nounced late yvesterday afternoon that he would make no statement regard- g the passports disclosures. He re- ferred all inquiries to the department of justice, which amounted to a re iteration of his announcement that no information would be given, for it was pointed out at the department of justice that officials of that depart- ment could not with propriety discuss a matter in which only the state de- partment could act.
