eyites Out on $4,000 Bail
Each.

HELENA, May 3.-[Special to The
TRIBnNEl-W. H. Burgess was on the
stand all day in the United States court
in the trial Of Will Hanks. Most Of the
time was devoted to cross examination
as to the value Of the mining property
bonded and owned by witness and
Hanks. Witness said in his opinion the
value of this property was 100000 at q
very reasonable estimate. He had told
Hanks that il the property held out it
would make them 100000 apiece.
Hanks said he had no money to invest,
but could get what was needed il the
property held out. The checks drawn
on the Merchants National bank Of
Great Falls were for development work
on the mines bonded at Maiden. The
ore kept improving until the mines had
to close down on account Of the attach
ment on the machinery. At that time
the ore on the dump, that in sight, and
the entire value of all property aggre-
gated over $4,000. There was no time
when there was not enough ore in sight
to pay the entire indebtedness, which
was about $4,000, including that to the
bank.

delegate, warmly urged the establish

league. His proposal was cordially sup
ported. The pamphlet upon the silver
question just published by Sir Joseph
McKennu, ex-director of the National
bank OF Ireland, is creating a sensation
in financial circles and the 5i-metallic
conference. 1t is devoted to proving
that Lord Liverpool's legislation in 1916
was simply a fraud, the object being to
cheat the public out Of four shillings in
each pound, troy weight, Of the new coin.
The silverites claim that when this is
understood it will strongly influence
public opinion in favor Of the re-
establishment of bi-metallism.

WASHINGTON WANTS DETECTIVES

Asking for Trained Men from All the Big
Cities.
CHICAGO, May 3.-The authorities at
Washington have requested the chiefs Of
police Of all the large cities to detail their
most experienced detectives to either
follow the armies or go to Washington
and assist the police department Of the
capital to manage the crowds that are
certain to assemble there. Chief Of De-
tectives Shea Of this city has received a
letter from Washington preferring such
request and will send several OF his
best men, who are familiar with the
crooks that infest this part Of the coun
try.
The authorities at the capital believe
that criminal characters from all over
the country will flock to that city, think
ing that in the confusion which will fol-
low the arrival Of several armies Wash
ington will be a good field for thieving
and swindling. BY massing trained de-
tecives from all parts Of the United
States at the capital these characters can
be spotted and locked up. The authori-
ties at Washington will pay all expenses
Of the officers supplied and intend to
keep them through a month or two until

A Pretty Story Called Forth by His APP
preaching Marriage.
New YORK, May 3-Somehow one
never associates the softer sentiments
with the grave gentleman who wears the
judicial ermine. But romance, like
death and taxes, is no respector OF per-
sons, and weaves it's lights and shadows
over the hovel Of the pauper and the
palace Of the king.
Many years ago Mr.. Justice White of
the United States supreme court was a
poor young lawyer in New Orleans. He
was rich in good looks and came of a
prominent family, but somehow he did
not possess the faculty of acquiring
"6lthy lucre" extensively. One day a
beautiful young lady vieited the city to
witness the Mardi Gras, and she "came,
and saw and conquered Young White

whom she returned to her home in Louis
vile the impecunious barrister deserted
the law to plead his case in Cupid's 3
court. For time all prospered. The
tones Of Blackstone grew dusty in the
New Orleans Office, while White spent
his time and small earning in wooing the
fair.
Then another man appeared on the
pcene--a man whose purse was heavy
andl whose other attractions we're pro-
portionately large The wealthy rival

turned to New Orleans where he worked
away at his profession. Then came

now one on the supreme bench.
Years passed on and the fair one who
had won his early love was left widow.
Then came the rekindling of the old
fame, and the faithful suitor at last
claimed the prize for which he had long
wpited. And now, at last the wedding
h6lls will ring out their merry peals over
the nuptials.
