SUING FOR INSURANCE.
Owners of Steamer Restormel, Which
Was Captured During the
War. In COurf

LONDON. Feb. 12.-An interesting ques-
tion pertaining to the insurance in time
of war was before the court of the queens
bench to-day, when the owners of the
steamer Restormel. coal laden, for the
Spaniards in Cuba, and which was cap
tured by the United States auxiliary cruis-
er st. Paul as she was attempting to enter
the harbor at Santiago, sought to recover
$4,000 of ocean marine insurance. The COM
pany defendants claimed that the Restor-
mel's adventure was illegal and that the
fact that she was engaged in an attempt
to supply coal to the Spanish navy was
suppressed at the time the insurance was
taken out. After the evidence of SeIzure
of the Restormel had been submitted. the
case was adjourned.

he Is A BAD BOY.
The Career of Little Frank Cannon in
Anaconda

Anaconda.
Frank Cannon, small boy, who has
made his home in Anaconda for the
last month, is under arrest at Great
Falls, as related in dispatches printed
on another page this morning. He has
told the officers there that his parents
are both dead, having been killed in
snow slide on Chilkoot Pass, Alaska.
AS matter Of fact his parents reside
in Butte.
About month ago the boy appear
ed in Anaconda at the Copper City
Commercial company's store. He was
ragged, worn and weary. his shoes
were not mates and he looked as If
in his battling with the world a solar
plexus blow had been landed on him.
To the people in the store he told a
tale of woe. His father had been kill
ed in a snow slide on Chilkoot Pass,
and his mother had died in Deer Lodge.
The sympathy of the salespeople was
aroused and they took the boy under
their protection. They fitted him out,
in the first place, with a new ward
robe, then they secured him posi-
ton as check boy in the grocery de-
partment.
His name. he declared, was Joe Har-
rington, and as Joe Harrington he is
still known at the store. One day
little girl saw him and said, "Hullo.
Frank He refused to respond at
first
why, that's Frank Cannon" said
she Il used to know him in Butte.
His father and mother live right along
side of where we used to live there"
Frank, or Joe, as he was known,
could not stand prosperity. He ne
elected his work. abused the confidence
of his friends and various little pecu-
lations were traced to him. Then he
was discharged.
Saturday night last he had a row
on the street and was whipped by an
other boy. He rushed into the store,
seeking sympathy, but received none.
It Is thought he must have started
Sunday on his travels.

OLD EARTH is GETTING SMALLER
At Least Its People Are Coming Closer
Together Every Day.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
One of the wonders of this marvellous
age is the rapidty with which the remote
quarters of the earth are being brought
close together. According to the Russian
minister of railroads. when Russia's new
trans-Siberian railroad is finished the trip
around the world can be made in 80 days
When Jules Verne just % years ago sent
the fictitious Phineas Fogg around the
earth in so days this exploit was deemed
to be about as near the absolutely impos-
sible as at one time Puck's feat was of
putting a girdle round the earth in 40
mil utes." Two American women, travel
ms in opposite directions, beat Fogg s
mythical exploint a few years ago. When
the Russian railroad is built, however, the
record of their journeyings will, in the
comparison. seem like the old stage coach
and sailing vessel travels to-day.
With what incredulity would the navi-
gators of a century or two ago and their
contemporaries have looked at the forth
coming Russian time table. The rem
nant of the fleet with which Magellan left
San Lucar, in Spain, in 1919 returned to
that port in 1922. Three years, lacking
two weeks. We're required for the circum-
navigation of the earth. The first of the
British world circlers. Drake who sailed
half a century later was as long in max
ing the distance. Cook, who made the
journey century later than Drake. was
two years and 10 months on the voyage.
In the century and a half between Ma
gellan and Cook the time of the world
circuit had been shortened in only an i'm
perceptble degree. There had been but
little improvement in the speed Of the
ocean vessels since the days when Odys-
seus in his shallop, after the Trojan war
started on his return to Ithaca. No i'm
provement of consequence, indeed. was
made until the days when steam began to
be applied to ocean navigation and that
was at such a comparatively recent date
that on May "a, 1919. the day on which
Victoria was born, the first steamboat
which ever crossed the Atlantic started
leaving Savannah for Liverpool and TAX
ins &c days to make the voyage which
would now be made in less than six.

NEW ROLL IS EQUAL|zEO
Board Concludes It's Labors and
Adjourns Without Date.
LEVY TO BE MADE TODAY
Will Probably Be About the Same as
Last Year-Further Reductions in
Assessment Made at Yes
terday's Session.

Yesterdays was the final session of
the board of equalization. Two or three
hours work wound up the business Of
that body and it adjourned sine die.
Then it met Immediately as the board
of county commissioners for the pur-
pose of fixing the tax levy for the en-
suing year.
The assessment roll as equalized has
not yet been totaled, so nothing def
mite could be done yesterday, but this
morning the equalized figures will be
at hand and the levy will be made.
Last year there was levied a tax Of
1872 mills for county purposes and 21a
mills for state purposes. In municipal
tiles in the county other taxes, of
course, We're levied. For instance, in
Anaconda there was a 10 per cent. levy
for the city and a special school levy of
51a mills in district No. TO- which en-
braces Anaconda, making a total Of
3l1a mills which Anaconda property
owners had to pay.
The assessment this year is in excess
of that of last year, but it is thought
the levy will be about the same, as pro-
vision will have to be made for inter-
est on the new court house bonds. In
Deer Lodge there will be an advance to
meet a municipal bond issue.
Reductions aggregating about 81, 700
were made by the board of equalization
at it's session yesterday.
On the application of Mrs. Nellie Mo-
line it was ordered that the assessment
on the improvements on the north 30
feet of lot Is, block %, Anaconda, be
reduced from $500 to 5000.
On the petition of Mary Webb 1t was
ordered that the assessment on the i'm
provements on lot 2. block 96, Anaconda,
be reduced from $3.50 to 5000.
On the petition of Samuel Scott 1t
was ordered that the assessment on the
improvements on lots IS to 81, block 10,
Deer Lodge, be reduced from $1,000 to
$1,000
On the application of Walter station,
agent for Mrs. Margaret Station, it was
ordered that 40 acres of her land classi-
fled as firSt-class hay land at $40 an
acre be reclassified as grazing land at
81 an acre. The land is situated in sec
ton q, township 4. north, of range 10,
west. The assessment classified $50
acres of her 240-acre ranch as hay land
at $40 an acre, or total of $1,000, and
80 acres as grazing land at 81 an acre.
The equalization puts in 40 acres at
$40 an acre and $50 acres at 81 an acre,
reducing the total assessment from ST.
$50 to 1920.
On the application of Daniel James,
jr., the assessment on improvements on
lot l.. block IS, Anaconda. was ordered
reduced from $4,000 to $1,000.
On the petition of Mrs. j. F. Carroll,
attorney in fact for Mrs. Annie j. Ber-
~, the assessment on the improvements
on lots ! and 2, block &c. Anaconda,
was reduced from $1,000 to $3.50.
On the petition Of the sister superior
Of St Mary's academy at Deer Lodge
lots II. L. 13 and IA, block p, Deer
Ledge. were ordered stricken from the
