BUTTE, March 14.-Pierre Robberechts,
one of those most vile and depraved
creatures that infest Butte and live
off the earnings of fallen women. was
to-day tried for vagrancy and convicted
by jury in Judge Speer's court. 1T was
the first case of the kind TO come 10 trial
in the district court and the fellows con-
viction is n cause for general congratu!a-
ton. He was arrested about eight months
ago and convicted in the police court,
from which he took an appeal. The testi-
mony introduced by the prosecution at
the trial to-day was TO the effect that Rob-
5erechts went the average pimp one bet
ter and managed two women, one at p
and the other at p East Galena street.
Four policemen testified that during tho
months of July and August of last year he
lived at the two houses indicated con-
stantly and acted as general manager,
buying provisions, doing chores, and in
every way acting as the head of the two
establishments. He was seen there at all
hours and in all stages of dress and I'M
dress, SO that there was no question as to
whether or not he belonged there.
The defendant claimed that he had n
room at No. Il East Galena street and
lived there. IIo admitted being well ac-

interest, but the court ruled the testimony
out.
The jury was out just about 10 minutes
when they returned with verdict of
guilty and left the punishment to be fixed
by the court. As the charge against Rob-
berechts was only n misdemeanor, 1t re-
CURED but eight votes to convict. Mr..
Haldorn demanded "a poll of the jury, and

McDougall, Alex Anderson, A bert Baker,

The limit to the punishment that can
be imposed on Robbercchts is fine of

regret that they could not give him five
years in the penitentlary.

A War Cloud at Home.

These are troublous times-n0t since
IS have they been more SO.
From weak and timorous foreign
policy, the administration has sudden.
ly veercd to one so vigorous and bel
ligcrent as to astonish not only this
country, but other nations.
The jingoes are fairly outjingoed.
James G. Blaine, with all his war
paint on, never gave the tail Of the
British lion half SO sharp twist as
Cleveland and Olney have done the
past fortnight.
AS the matter now stands, unless
either Great Britain or this country
recedes from its position the only APP
parent alternatives war.
Nor is there much indication of a
breakdown on either side.
The Venezuela Dispute.
The trouble arises from dispute
between England and Venezuela over
the boundary line between Venezuela
and British Guiana, in South America.
This dispute is of long standing
in fact, the boundary line has never
been determined to the satisfaction Of
both parties.
Venezuela was formerly colony of
Spain and the Dutch held Guiana.
The Venezuelans claim that the
boundary line was then the Essequibo
river and old maps and records seem
to sustain them.
Later, Venezuela achieved its indie
pendcncc Of Spain and the British
came into possession Of what is now
known as British Guiana.
OF course the boundary line was
the same as originally, but Great
Britain soon began to push to the
westward and took possession of ter
ritory claimed by Venezuela.
The latter protested, and endeav-
orcd to get the British to agree on a
boundary line but the two nations
have never come to an understanding.
Little by little, England has, as
Venezuela claims, encroached until
now the disputed territory is about
the size Of the state of Maine.
The discovery Of rich gold mines
within it and its proximity to the
mouth Of the great navigable river
Orinoco makes this disputed tract OF
more than ordinary Importance.
Attempts at Settlement.
Failing TO secure redress from Great
Britain herself, Venezuela early
sought the good offices Of this govern
ment.
These were freely rendered, as the
United States has always acted the !

The truth is a great many in this
country would welcome q war with
Great Britain, whatever the excuse.
There is q deep-scated aversion to

tons of beets last season and raised
3,025 on its own farms. The highest
number of tons Of beets treated in

IMPERFECT VISION

glasses.
But by the methods commonly in
vogue, glasses are fitted by the occulist
trying successive test glasses until the
patient selects a combination which he
I Hks improves his vision. This is
guess work on the part of both.
Glasses given under such conditions
rarely give perfect satisfaction, owing

A MISTAKE.

hearted in this matter. If Mr.. Evans

meeting do not represent anything or
anybody, let them say it.
Charges and counter charges will
not accomplish anything when such an
important matter as this is before the
people. Sound sense and sober judg-
ment is what will prevail in the end,
and every one knows that the gentle
men mentioned displayed neither
when they said the first meeting held
in this city to consider the suffrag e
question was not composed of represen-
tative citizens. Neither gentleman de-
served condemnation for voting for
suffrage for women in the constitu-
tional convention, therefore they can
justly say that they were first at
tackled; this caused them to retaliate
and then the second meeting hit back.
and so it goes. No good can come of
1t, because resolutions of condemnation

REPORTS ARE RUSHING IN.
Income Tax Payers Now Complying
With the Law


During the past few days the office
OF the local revenue collectors has
shown more activity than at any time
since the passage of the income tax
law, and it is anticipated that with
the coming of the new business week
there will be a still more marked in
crease in the general business of the
department. All of this extra work
is occasioned by the inflow of income
tax reports, all of which must be in
the hands of the collectors by the
18th of the present month, or Just
one week and a day more. The de-
cision of the supreme court on the
constitutionality of the act has been
anticipated since two weeks ago, but
as yet the official document has not
been forthcoming, although there have
been many rumors as to the proSpec-
tive action of the court. The very
latest is that bonds and rentals
will not be taxed, the two clauses pro-
viding for the payment of an assess
ment Of these being overruled by the
court and declared to be unconstitu-
tional. OF course, all of this is purely
speculative, for the most learned do
not know what the members of the
supreme court propose TO DO. The lat
Ter are not in the habit of making
known their decisions before the reg
ular action of the court has been taken
and recorded.
Something over a hundred returns
have been received from prospective
taxpayers of this territory and there
are still several hundred to be heard
from. This is the week in which the
reports must all be made. and in con-
sequence the rush is very likely to
overwhelm the revenue officials, unless
