P. L. Miller, the assistant clerk, re-
turned last evening of his own accord
from the northern part Of the state,
and was at once placed under arrest.
1t is expected he will make important
disclosures. The bondsmen of the late
city treasurer, Simon Jacobs, started
the investigation which resulted in the
sensational charges against the old
administration, believing that Jacobs
was not responsible alone for the $780,
900 shortage in his accounts. Several
other men who are accused of being
connected with the alleged conspiracy
have left the city. Mr.. Dugan claims
to be innocent of wrong doing, and If
any crime was committed he was an
innocent party to it, as he had implicit
confidence in his subOrdi1ateS and
signed the warrants as presented to
him. Irvine has been one of the most
prominent and respected young men
in this city, and is connected by blood
and marriage with dozen of the
wealthiest and most prominent fami-

AMERICAS CUP RACE,

of Only % Seconds.
New York, Sept. S.-The result of the
measurer's work on the yachts was q
great surprise. No good judge thought
that the English yacht would give
over minute and half in thirty
mile course to the Defender, yet many
capable critics said that the challenger
would give a minute, but that she
should yield less than a half-minute
was astonishing to all the smart PEG,
pie. When Mr.. Byslop brought the
measurements to the New York Yacht
club house he said that the Valkyrie
would have to all ow Defender %. 10
seconds. 1t was only his business, he
added, to turn the measurements to
the regatta committee and let that
committee decide what the time al
lowance would be. Nevertheless, he
felt that 29.10 seconds was the fair
thing. The committee considered the
question for long time and finally
posted up notice on the clubs bull
letln board to the effect that the al
lowance would be 20 seconds, leaving
off Mr.. Byslop's added one-tenth Of a
second. The races will, perhaps, be
very close, but no tenths- of seconds
will separate the boats at the finish.

Cruelty to n BOY.

Fullerton. Neb., Sept. 1O.-This COM
munity is greatly excited over a case
of revolving cruelty brought to light
by Sheriff Snyder. For several years
it has been known that a family
named Knapik, in the Polish colony,
had an idiotic boy, and lately reports
of their ill treatment of the unfortu-
nate have been circulated. Investiga-
ton by the sheriff developed that the
boy, who is partially paralyzed, has
been kept picketed out like domestic
animal in an out of the way place
during the day and at night kept in a
stable with the calves and other live
stock. 1t was also ascertained that
he was unprovided with clothing of
any kind during the summer months
but was allowed to go in a state OF
absolute nudity.

The Beautiful Sanctuary In Minne-
HpOlis Ruined by Fire.
Minneapolis, Sept. S.-Westminster
church, corner Nicollet avenue and
Seventh street, was attacked by the
fire fiend early this morning and, as a
result, one of the oldest church socie-
ties in the city finds itself without a
home. The origin Of the fire is
shrouded in mystery. There was not
a light in the building, and upon in
Festigation this morning it was dis
covered that even the electric cur
rents were turned off. No explanation
can be given but that the editicc had
been sen on fire by some one as vet
unknown. At first every one seemed
to believe that it was caused by the
crossing of electric light wires, but the
discovery this morning that the cur
rent was shut off and that not a fuse
was blown, shattered this theory.
:. The estimated loss, according to F..
3. Long, Of Long & KEGS, who had ur-
der his charge the construction of the
church, will be in the neighborhood Of
$4,000. 10, cover this loss there is in
surance on the building amounting to
$65,OOO; on organ, $4,000; and on the
furniture about $1,000.

Defender Soon Overtnl&es Her ri.
val and Easily Wins the Race.

New York. Sept 1O-In the first race
for Americas cup Defender fairly beat
Valkyrie III. over q course of thirty
miles by s minutes and 40 seconds.
The wind varied from five to eight
off Seubright. n. j., to windward east
by south fifteen miles and return, the
starting gun being fired ut 1920. Val
kyrie crossed the starting line four sec
onds ahead, but Defender was to wind
ward. They carried club top sails.
Valkyrie had baby jib top sail and
Defender a No. ,. For short time
Valkyrie out-pointed and out-footed
Defender, and things looked blue for
10000 Americans on the largest fleet
of excursion boats and steam and sail
ing yachts ever seen at an ocean race,
and probably any other kind.
In the first three tracks Vallyrie
continued her good work. Defender
was then sailed with rap full and at
once out-footed Nalkyrie. though ap-
parently going to leeward. About 3
p. II. the breeze freshened to it's great
est power Of the daylight miles
and Defender Immediately passed her
competitor and was never afterward
approached. Defender was minutes
81 seconds ahead at the outer mark.
Thence home, the wind having shifted
to about southeast, it was a broad
reach. Both yachts set balloon jib top
sails. On the reach the wind dropped
to five miles before the finish. De-
fender gained minutes 43 seconds
coming home. The excursion boats
bothered both yachts somewhat.
1t is believed among yachtmen that
Defender can beat Valkyrie under any
conditions. The official time table is:

Defender and Nalkyrie We're both
measured at the Erie basin to-day.
They arrived at the basin about the
same time, the Valkyrie in tow Of tug
Howard, and Defender having a line
from her tender. Hattie Palmer. John
Hyslcp. the official measurer Of the
New York Yacht club. was waiting for
them, and got to work with his steel
tape on the water line measurement
as promptly as possible. 1t cannot be
learned why the yachts were re-
measured. All agree, however, that
whatever the cause of Mr.. HySlOp' S
hcllOn to-day, there can scarcely pc
discovered any mistake that may have
been made, enough Of a difference be-
tween the racers, assuming that the
error, if any, was in Valkyries favor,
TO overcome the decisive eight minutes
and forty-nine seconds by which De-
fender won.
The mystery was cleared away later
when notice was posted on the bulle-
tin board Of the New York Yacht club
that at the request Of the earl of Dun
raven, and with the acQuiescence of
Mr.. Iselin, the measurer marked the
yachts at each end of the load water
line. When this was done the meas
urer. at the request of the America' s
cup committee, verified the measure
ments taken on Friday, which We're
confirmed by the measurements taken
to-day.

There was the dearest little old man

man a hearty greeting. s.
He wasn't much to look at, in fact,
his back seemed to be all twisted Up
and his legs, I am sure belonged to
some other man, they. were SO long.

dren called him. ....
'Who cut your hair 50 slick?"
heard one little chap ask another.
ooh, pa" was the reply.
Gle can cut hair bettern any barber
in town, an if you ask him if he'll do
it, he'll come to the door after school
begins an crook his finger at you, an
you look at the teacher, an she'll nod
her head an you go on out, an pail
take you down in the basement an
cut your hair just fine!'
Talk about fairy godmothers! Not
one Of them could hold candle to pa.
If some scared to death little: chap
came putting to the school house gate
after it had been locked because it
was 9 o'clock and the last of the chill
dren were marching sedately to their
place, pa was sure to be standing at
the fence corner and reached out his
strong arms and lifted that lad over
the fence and half way up the stairs
at one swoop.
And if little lad or lassie got sick

sometimes happened, it wasn't really
such "a dreadful thing after all Pa
was always there and he would lift
the little one up in those great, strong
arms of his and carry the youngste1

nobody would say another word about

PARTS OF MONTANA.
Helena Apparently Gets the Worst
Shaking up and Many People Rush
From Their Houses md Stay In the
Street Until Morning.

Helena, Mont, Sept. s-.There was a
noticeable shock OF earthquake soon
after midnight last night. People
asleep in hotels and dwellings were
suddenly awakened and rushed panic
stricken to the street. The larger
buildings shook perceptibly. Much ex-
element was caused and in many
cases the residents did not dare to go
back to their dwellings all night, but
remained in the streets. No great
damage was done, however.
The oldest of the old timers cannot
recall a more severe shock. Not only
was the traditional crockery shaken
from shelves and cupboards, bric-a-
brac hurled from mantels, and win
doWs ratified in their easements, but
people rushed from their homes in
alarm lest the walls should totter and
fall upon them. The shock seemed to
come from the south and the vibra-
tons lasted full a minute with three
aggravated periods wherein the oscil-
latiOns were most violent. The move
ment was from south to north. Peo-
pie were awakened from sound sleep
and those living in brick houses felt it,
apparently, in greater number than
the Inhabitants of frames. This is the
second earthquake felt in Montana
this year..
Butte, Mont, Sept. Sat 1925 a
| slight shock of earthquake was felt
in this city, lasting about six seconds.
1t was not severe enough to do any
damage, and was noticed only by a
few. The earthquakes, manifested
itself in three distinct shocks, follow
| ing each other closely with but thirty
seconds of interval. The usual phe-
nomena We're exhibited, being most
marked in the upper stories Of higl,
buildings. Windows ratified, floors
cracked, dishes were knocked off
shelves and pictures were shaken
from the wall. At the central fire sta
ton the chief reports that the fire

Diving From 2 Height.

In diving from a height, say of 6
feet, throw the heels well up keep the
legs straight and close together, and
bring the hands forward and in front
of and above the head. The position
required is one every boy takes natur-.
ALLY in first attempting to swim. The
hands act as the Prov of ship. for
they cut the water. They should,
'thel efore, always be turned just as
you strike the surface. This will pre-
vent you going deep and will also give
an impetus to carry you through the
water A good diver can dive from Il
height of 40 to 50 feet and not go a
yard below the surface. whereas the
frequent accident along our coast show
that carelessness in springing from q
pier into shallow water frequently re-
