No Pay sor Montana Lees alMtors.

HELENA. Mont, Jan, 2i.--Montana's
second legislature will serve without pay,
either per diem or mileage, unless the
supreme court says otherwise. State
Treasurer Hickman decided to-day not
No honor bills of senators and representa-
tives for mileage. aud when they ask for
their per diem tho same course will be
pursued. The refusal OF the treasurer
II based on section of article ii Of the
constitution, which fixed the compensa-
slon OF the members of the first legisla-
sure at s6 per day, and mileage at 90
cents per mile. It also provided that
pay for subsequent legislatures should
be fxed by law. No laws were passed
by the first legislature, and no appropri-
tlon was made to meet expenses of the
present body. The same section pro-
vides that no legislature shall DIX It's own
compensation. Treasurer Hickman
asked that some of the senators or mem
bera make test, but none OF them In
terested seem inclined to do SO, consider
ing the law against them. The only
possibility OF this legislature getting
pay Is for some subsequent body 10 make
"a appropriation for that purpose.
There Ii nothing whatever political in
ahe treasurer's action, as both sides are
mfges.ted alike

AT PIkekRE.


PIERRE, Jan. 2l.--Special: Last night
the interested parties diligently sawed
wood. The first ballot was clearly

given out this morning as coming direct
from MOody's managers that Moody ex-
pected an election at the first joint
session, provided the five Lawrence
county republicans were not unseated.
The combination leaders either feared
nothing or felt satisfied they could not
force an unseatlng vote before IL. Had
this vote been taken last night five re-
publIcans would have been decapltated.

regularity, while I'm the other case they
held that Greenfield precinct should not
be thrown out. At ls promptly the

sentatIves. Speaker Seward presided.

Ing at the top of their voices. Two
women jumped from the lower
stories and were injured. The
house contained nfty rooms. occupied
mostly by theatrical people. Most OF the
girls roomed on the fourth floor, and by
the time they were aware OF the fire the
entire building was filed with smoke
and passage cut of for those above the
third floor. Owing to the intense heat
some OF the girls rushed to their win
3ows and others groped around the cor
ridors clad only In their night clothes
and thoroughly panic-stricken. Ladders
were quickly raised In the rear OF the
hotel Just rs the girls were preparing to
jump 10 the frozen ground below. Dis
trict Chief Keys was one OF the first TO
enter the building, and bursting open a
door leading TO a room on the fourth floor,
rescued Miss Jennie Major, who was
overcome by smoke. He also found Miss
Annie Mcfarland overcome by the
smoke. They are In a precarlous con-
ditfon. A number OF others were as
listed 10 the ground by the iremen. The
pOmpier ladders were used for the first
time since their adoption by the depart
ment, and TWO women were rescued by
their use just a. they were about to
jump from tho fifth story. The fire was
extinguished In an hour. The fright
ened chorus girls, shivering In their
slight raiment, were escorted through
the gaping crowds OF men and taken TO
