SAL [Mootana Again “Treasure State” - MAY BE CHANGED| ~ As Big Boom Hits Copper Mines Pran o P i The system of informing parents fand children that there will be no Isessions of school because of incle- {ment weather is not adequate, in the fopinion of members of the school .board. At a meeting yesterday aft- ernoon the matter of using other means was discussed. It was left with Supt. Stanley H. Holmes with a rcquest to devise some means which will be satisfactory. Just before the close of the meet- ing Committeeman Joseph M, Ward, hrought up the subject. At present parents learn of ng- school through a series of blasts from the Stanley Rule & Level fac- tory wihstle at 7:30 and 11:30 o'clock. Chairman King thought it would be advisable to have more whistles in different parts of the city sound- ed at once so that people in every seciton could hear them. Committeeman Ward said he started to school with his two chil- dren Thursday morning and his first knowledge of the fact that there was no school was gleaned from someone on the way. He said others, includ- = teachers and pupils, had started Lecause they did not hear the vhistle, New System When Supt. Holmes was called up- on he said this was the school de- partment's first experience under & new tem which was adopted last year, Under the system Supt. Holmes has a direct wire with the engineer in the engine room of the Stanley Rule & Level Co. He said he had much difficulty iecause t o engineer was not there ard another employe who answered had difficulty determining what the superintendent wanted. Finally the engineer was reached and the whistles were blown, the superin- tendent said. Supt. Holmes told of systems used in other cities. In one place the strect lights are winked. Other plac- »s, the superintendent said, have their own signal which would be so different from other whistles and signals that it would be easily dis- tinguished, He named a city in Massachusetts where a fire alarm is sounded. He sald he believed that approxi- mately $1,000 would cover the cost of installation of the school's own system, Several whistles sounded at once would be confusing, Mr. | Holmes remarked. It is doubtful if use of the fire alarm signal will be permitted, it was sald today. With the sound of the alarm traffic would probably be stopped and the department offi- cials who may be at their homes would make preparations to go to a fire. City ordinances do not per- mit the use of the siren or any similar blast for anything other than a fire, it is said. School Not Lighted Properly At least four rooms in the senior ligh school ate without adequate lights and there are several rooms where desks should be changed and where aisles are too narrow, accord- ing to a report from the bureau of building construction of the state board of education. The departnrent has asked for an appropriation and if this is included in the appropria- tion allowed the school board the lighting system at the school will be changed. Some change will be made immediately pending action of the firance sub committee. Chairman P. F. King was author- ized to sign new contracts which were made between the school au- thorities in this city and the state board of education in reference to the three practice schools in this city. School Calendar Schools will open September 9, 1929, and close June 20, 1930, ac- cording to the school calendar which was presented at the meeting yes- terday. The Thanksgiving recess will be from Wednesday noon, No- vember 27, 1929, to Monday morn. ing., December 2, 1929. The Christ- mas vacation will be from Friday night, December 20, 1929, to Mon. day merning, January 6, 1930. The Easter vacation will be from April 17 to April 28, 1930.

Miners of the Anaconda Copper Mining company and other concerns | at Butte, with co-related industries scattered over the state, have been rapidly restored to production dur- ing recent months. Eleven thousand miners in Butte, 3.000 smeltermen at Anaconda and 1,500 more Great Falls now are at work under wage scales increased twice within the last five months. Under the stimulus of the belated | stabilization of the copper industry, the Anaconda company alone is op- erating 14 miles in the Butte district, bringing the red metal! in some cases from devosits a mile under ground. Three hundred and fifty thousand tons of ore and waste are holsted from the Butte mines ¢ach month. Aside from its mines, the Ana- conda company operates plants at Anaconda producing 420 tons of copper anodes daily, ten million pounds of refined sinc a month, to- gether with quantities of arsenic, trebled super phosphate and sul- phuric acid. The plants at Great Falls have a capacity of 27,000,000 pounds of re- fined copper a month, and 20,000,000 pounds of electrolytic sinc. At the rod and wire mill, 20,000,000 pounds of copper can be rolled into rods and drawn into wire every 30 days. BEER WITH ‘KK (0STS SELLER {50 Jennings, Owner of Smoke Shop, Escapes Jail Penalty Pleading nolo contendere, Edward Jennings, 26, of 38 Dewey street, was fined $150 and costs and given a suspended jail sentence of 15 days by Judge Stanley J. Traceskl in po- lice court today on the charge of violation of the liquor law in his smoke shop at 36 Hartford avenue. Prosecuting Attorney J. G. Woods, who recommended the penaity, sald Jennings was a second offender againat the liquor law, but in this instance nothing but home made beer had been found on the prem- ises, The analysis showed it to have an alcoholic content of 2.34 per cent by volume and 1.88 per cent by weight. Judge Traceski, accepting the rec- ommendation, sald the jail sentence would be “strictly enforced” should Jennings be convicted again of vio- lating the liquor law. Prosecuting Attorney Woods remarked that the smoke shop is one of the few places to retain the bar which was used in the days before prohibition, Attorney Harry M. Ginsburg, who represented Jennings, protested after court against haying the cost of analysis of two samples of the home brew charged against Jennings. The police claimed it was necessary to take two samples because some of the beer was exposed for sale while some more was only recently made on the premises. Judge Traceski disqualified him- self from sitting in the cases of Her- man Taffs, 19, of 41 Henry street; Louls Argosy, 17, of 1¢ Kelsey street; Stanley Dobkowski, 18, of 68 Fair- view street; Fred Villa, 17, of 75 Falrview street; Royal Gray, 16, of 369 East street, and Leo White, 17, of 224 Whiting street, who pleaded guilty to the charge of theft of $48 worth of brass fittings at the Cremo Brewery Co, plant on Belden street, John Skritulsky, president of the company, is Judge Traceski's father- in-law, so Judge W. F. Mangan heard the case. Detective 8ergeant Ellinger testi- fled that he saw the boys in the act of disposing of the brass, which weighed 161 pounds, at & local junk yard, and on investigating he learned that the fittings were atolen. None of the group had anything to say and Judge Mangan lectured them on the seriousness of the offenge, which, he said, could have been a burglary charge. “You are flirting with the reformatory,” he declared. “However, I notice on reading the names that some of you are children of substantial citizens and 1 believe you had better report to the proba- tion officer for the next three months. I will suspend judgment. Taffs was singled out by Judge Mangan, who asked him why he was laughing and smilling. *“Do you think it is a joke to be here on this charge?” the judge asked him be- fore disposing of the cases, and Taffs replied that he did not con- sider it a joke and did not mean to treat it lightly. Ludwig Fedorowicz, charged with hunting without a license, paid the costs of the court on a nolle. Game Warden Allhouse arrested him near the Swanson farm and Fedorowicz is said to have denied that he was carrying a shotgun, but it was in an automobile in which he and com- panions were riding.

STIMSON PROMISES SELF GOVERNWENT Retiring Governor Geaeral Dots to bribe Is one to fourteen years. Based On Ol Case The bribery case gvew out of the collapse here in May, 1927, of the Jullan Petroleum Corporaiton when it was discovered that about $100,- 000,000 worth of spurious stock had been sold to the public. Keyes conducted an investigation which culminated in the filing of charges against 60 or more perso! among them certain officlals of the Julian Corporation. One after au- other these charges were dropped until two men held were Jacob Ber- man, alleged “bright youngster” of the corporation, and Ed Rosenbery, stock salesman. It was alleged the stock flasco had netted about $35,- 000,000, During the trial of Berman and Rosenberg on & fraud charge, the prosecutor filed a motion to dismiss the case against Rosenbergs. The motion was denied and the case went to the jury resulting in acquittal for both, Grand Jury Inquiry Last November Buron Fitts, lieu- tenant governor of California, was elected district attorney of Los An- geles county on an .“anti-corrup- tion” platform and a grand jury be- gan an investigation of alleged of- ficlal corruption here. Six persons, ncluding Keyes, Getzoff and Rosen- berg, were indicted. Meantime Berman had been con- victed {n federal court of using the mails to defraud and sentenced to seven years in prison. In the brib- ery case, however, he turned state's witness and testified that about the time of the Julian fraud trial he gave $40,000 to Getzoff, the alleged “go-between,” with the understand- ing that it was to be given to Keyes #0 the latter would slacken his ef- forts to convict. Berman testified that Rosenberg gave $125,000 in the same manner and also presented gifts to Keyes, Mrs. Keyes-and thelr daughter Elizabeth. Wife and Talk The former prosecutor, his wife and daughters took the stand in his defense. Keyes admitted having vis- ited Getsoft’s downtown tailor shop frequently for drinks, saying tiat the tallor was an old friend. He denfed that he had accepted any money to influence his action as prosecutor but admitted that he had taken an automobile from the tailor as “a loan.” Household furniture had been bought for the Keyes home, he said, through Getzoff be- cause the latter had been able to | get price concessions. Other defense witnesses testified |in an attempt to offset the evi- dence given by employes of the tailor shop who declared they saw | Keyes take money from Getzoff. One of the defense allegations was that two of these employes, Milton Pike and Joseph Sherman, had fabricated a story about bribe-taking in order to entangle Getsoff and get his tailor shop from him. The de- fense also alieged that Keyes had been prosecuted for political con- sideration. Charges against the other three persons indicted by the grand jury ‘were dismissed.

The Eleanor Bolling reported that she was 1,040 miles southeast off Dunedin, New Zealand, and was bound for that port after having taken on 80 tons of coal from the whaling steamer C. A. Larsen. All aboard were reported well and happy. The Eleanor Bolling expects to réach Dunedin next Thursday and after taking on a cargo of tractors, gasoline, kerosene and coal is ached- uled to sail February 16 on her third voyage to the ice barrier. Members of the crew of the Byrd supply ship took occasion during the communication with the technology station to send meagages to relatives and friends and the Tech station transmitted many similar messages addressed to members of the expe- dition. Before establishing communica- tion with the Eleanor Bolling, the Teehnology station picked up a mes- sage from the non-magnetic ship Carnegie which is making a world cruise for the purpose of studying terrestrial magnetism. The Carnegle reported that she sailed from Cal- lao, Peru, last Tuesday and was hound for Tahiti. Court May Bring Up * Case Against Grabeck Attorney 8.

King to the achool committee yos- terday that Architect Warren H. Holmes included more steel in the high achool addition plan than was needed because he had been given a copy of the old ordinances, was an- swered today by Inspector A. N, Rutherford who insisted that his de- partment is not to be blamed because someone else is not informed of the adoption of a new code. John E. Downes told the commit- tee that the architect received an old bullding ordinance which did not contain material relative to steel at the time-he drew plans for the Rob- ert J. Vance achool. He then made his plans according to the American standard architects. and engineers’ regulations which require more stecl than the New Britain ordinances, he explained. He used this ordinance for the high school plans also. ‘When Bullding Inspector Ruther- ford was informed of the situation today he made the following state. ment: “There are two points which would have a bearing on the build- ing code. One is the corridor which was figured too low and the other was the proscenium girder which ‘was not fire proof and was not shown as required. “Good engineering would require the changes called for regardless of the code. The building department should not be held responsible for the lack of knowledge of any pere son relative to the fact that the city has 2 new bullding code which went into effect in June, 1926.” Dr. Henry Martin, a member of the achool accommodations commit. tee, reported the progreas of that committee on the high school ques. tion at the schoal board meeting, Chairman Joseph M.

John Loan-Him-Arrows' memory was blurry. Him fight but him no remember with who. Joe Running Bear and Henry Twin were equally at a loss. The three were quite cer- tain, however, that they had not left Yellow Lodge to die. “Him sober up, go home,” thay grunted. But “him” didn't sober up. The hole Yellow Lodge's hatchet had made in the ice when he sought water to weaken the potency of the moonshine, was the hole into which M8 head drooped when the fight was over; and slowly in the zero cold, the water froze, The white man's jury found thag Yellow Lodge came to his death by, freezing, after a fight, A rebellion?
