Missoula. Mont, March 26.--Charles
Allen, man who for some time has
been living at Victor was tonight TAX
en- to the edge Of that town by an in
dignant body of citizens and given 100
lashes upon his bare back and told to
leave the country never to ret,arn. He
begged hard, but the crowd was firm,
ana when the whipping was finished
ne disappeared. He had slardered a
young girl of Victor and his false
stories had driven her to suicide. Her
name was Hattie Gilman.
FOR some time previous to her sad
death, Allen, well known character,
mad frequently. asserted that ne had
been intimate with Miss Gilman. Her
parents heard these statements and
questioned the girl repeatedly. She de-
nled IL emphatically and while dying
asserted that the story was false.
Others heard Aliens vile story and as
is always the case there We're plenty to
oeHeve 1t and the finger of scorn was
pointed at the unfortunate girl On
sunday morning last she took a large
quantity Of strychnine and died in the
afternoon. She suffered five severe

THE NAVAL BILL PASSED

ton Bill Also. but Laid

Washington, March 26.--NIr. Heat
wole of Minnesota introduced reso-
luton authorizing the president to APP
point committee of nine citizens to
act with the comptroller of the cur
rency to make recommendations for
the Improvement of our banking and
currency system Referred
The house then resumed consideration
of the naval appropriation bill. 1t
was decided to allow three hours for
general debate on the paragraph relat-
ing to the increase of the navy.
Mr.. Hanley of Indiana gave notice
he would offer an amendment to in
crease the number of battleshlps from
four to six. Although his people lived
thousand miles from tide water, they
were patriotic enough and proud enough
TO see their country with navy be-
fitting her position as the greatest
country on the globe He thought it
was time for the United States to enter
upon a distinctively national policy. He
referred to the aggressions of Great
Britain and our foreign complications
as an argument for strong navy.
The republicans pursued a similar
course No party could afford to block
the destiny Of the United States and
now that the republicans We're clothed
with the power they should not hesitate
to carry out the promises made.
Mr.. Hulick of Wisconsin said he en-
dorsed all Mr.. Hanley had said, but
he argued that in view of the condition
OF the treasury it was unwise to author
lze more than four battleships in this
bill. As to the building of dry docks,
the secretary of the navy thought it
was better to expend the money to be
appropriated for ships than dry docks
and build the latter at some subsequent
time.
Mr.. johnson of California favored the
Hanley amendment for six battleships
instead of four He ridiculed the bra
vado with which we had during the
past few months announced our will
lngness to declare war on the first class
powers of the world. With our navy.
our pretensions were preposterous. In
the event of war with Great Britain we
would be powerless to prevent British
ships from coming up the Potomac as
they did in 1918 and sacking the capitol
OF the United States.
God fought as Napoleon, on the side
OF the heaviest battalions. We needed
strong navy. If we were to continue
