to pay It CIark's price was $4,000. This
game was repeated until DAILY had to
pay Sl25.OOO. He swore revenge.
Daily then took the quarrel into poll

time. DAILY has balked him. III clarl,

Montana while live"
Their fight has made the politics OF
Montana, ever since It's statehood. a
battle-ground of the two copper mag
mates factions. Legislators, town ofii-
GERS and even judges have been electad
as Daily men or Clark men. This war
once made a vacancy in the United
States senate through a split In the leg
islature. 1t sent Lee Mantle and
Thomas H. Carter. Republicans; from q
Democratic state.
A feature of this feud is the fact that
Butte and Anaconda. one town with
10000 and the other with 10000 popula-
ton, have had metropolitan papers
started. Clark picked up the Butte
Miner one day and read some things he
didn't like about himself. He bought
the paper and improved It from a news
getting point of view, besides making it
tear up DAILY to his hearts content.
DAILY bought the Anaconda Sentinel and
made 1t a real newspaper good for q
city Of million population. The two
papers are organs OF the two factlons.
When Montanas legislature went
Democratic in 1898, Clark was elected
senator after a prolonged fight. Imma-
diately after the election State Senator
Fred Whlteside arose in the senate. ana
In dramatic manner produced $4,000
In $1,000 bills, which he said he had oh
tained from John B. Welcome, Clarke
manager, for the purpose of bribing
members of the legislature and for his
own services. He declared that he had
pretended to Join the Clark forces with
the purpose OF exposing corruption. The
$4,000, he said, was given to him to
buy the votes Of w. a. Clark. n state
senator, Of Madison county-not of
United States Senator Clark's family
and State Senator's Myers and Carr, the
first two at $4,000 each, and Carr at
5000. The other 5000 was for himself,
In part payment for his services. The
rest Of the story Is too well known for
further recital.

Senator Clnrk,s Case.

Senator Clark, OF Montana, who was
dlscredlted as a representative Of that
state in the United States senate by the
unanimous action of the committee on
privileges and elections, has sent what
IS supposed TO be a cheering message to
his son, nj Butte. Montana. in which he
charges him not to let the decision Of
the senate committee worry him, AMI
adding: II will be vindicated either here
or in Montana" The message is some
what involved. but as clearly as we can
read It means thar he entertalns the
foriorn hope that the senate will not
ratify the action OF its committee But,
in case he has to seek the court OF last
resort he will go back to Montana ana
obtain recollection at the hands Of the
Montana legislature.
We do notsee any hope for Clark in
either case. The senate as body could
not. in the face OF all the light that has
been shed on the matter, consistently
reverse tho finding OF thu comimttee.
There Is absolutely no partisan conten-
ton in the question Of his utle't to his
seat. It is a matter OF public morale.
and the senate could not afford to stul-
tify Itself, or draw upon that honorable
body the odlum Of condonIng the most
corrupt practices in politics ever
brought to light 50 far as seeking a
vlndlcatiou in Montana is conearRcd,
we dc not believe the people Of that
state arc in vindIcatlng mood at the
present time.

In calling attention to this important

TOOK AN0THER'S
WIFE AND HOME
THC.dAS JOHNS, A RETURNED
SOLDIER, rs ARRESTED FOR
ADULTERY.
COMPLAINT WAS FILED
BY WOMAN'S NElGHBORS,
Husband of Faithless Wife Still in
Philippines and Sending Money
for Family Support.

Thomas Johns was arrested by the sheriff
about 6 o'clock last evening on a charge
of adultery with Mrs. Sarah Davies of 528
South Idaho street, and lodged in the
county Jail. The complaint was made by
Mrs. w. T. Ryan of 56 South Idaho. who
is a neighbor of Mrs. Davies. Another Mrs.
Ryan, a Mrs. Fisher and a Mrs. Murphy,
also neighbors, are scheduled as witnesses
against the accused.
Mr.. Johns is one of the Montana volun-
in suppressing Aguinaldo and his dusky
soldiers. Mr.. Davies. the husband of the
woman in the case, also went to the islands,
being a member of the signal corps, and IS
still there. Mr.. and Mrs. Davies have three
nice children, and for the support OF the
children and their mother Mr.. Davies has,
it is alleged, made regular monthly remit
tances from the islands. Johns returned
with the other soldiers last October. and
up his residence with Mrs. Davies. who
was then living on lower Colorado street.
From Colorado street Mrs. Davies moved
to South Idaho street, and 1t is said that
Davies in both places assumed to know all
about the alleged relation of the couple,
and there was 40 end to the gossip which
sprang from It. 1t is not known hat the
couple conducted themselves other than
proper in public, but something caused
rest of Johns was the outcome. Johns has
been working steadily since his return from
the islands, and the money he earned, :.
Is said, has gone into the household OF
which he is alleged to nave assumed con-
troll.
Justice Lewis of Walkerville having
issued the warrant the matter will be aired
in his court.

STRIKE STILL ON
TELEPHONE COMPANY GETTING
ALONG WITHOUT ITS CON-.
sTRUCTI0N GANG.

There is no change today in the telephone
strike. The men are still out, and the
company is getting along as best 1t can.
Construction is, of course, at q complete
standstill, and it is impossible to install
new Instrument Manager Miller is the
temporary trouble man." and he is work
ing long shifts to keep the service in good
shape.
The building trades council has declared
the telephone company unfair, as requested
by the Electrical Workers union, and has
been given power to settle the trouble by
arbitration. The committee conferred with
Mr.. Miller this morning, but there was no
change in the attitude of either side on
the question at issue. b strikers demand
the discharge of one man because he does
not belong to the union. The company re-
fuses to discharge the man for the reason
that he has regularly applied to the union
for admission and been arbitrarily rejected.
This action is defended by the union on
the ground that the man is an incompe
tent workman, while Manager Miller, who
is an expert, emphatically declares that
the man is just as competent as n one
of the strikers There the matter rests, SO
far as the real question at issue is con-
cerned, but the union today made over
lures for a temporary truce, pending a final
settlement.
This position is not satisfactory to the
company. 1t wants the question settled
one way or the other, so that 1t may know
definitely just where it stands and what
may be expected in the future.
1t is not unlikely that an agreement may
be reached within a couple of days.

CAR MEN WANT A RAISE.
Street Railway Employees Ask for In
crease of 5 Cents an Hour.

Manager Wharton of the Butte Street
Railway company, has received a request
from the employees for an increase in their
wages from 80 cents to IS cents an hour, and
that none of the car men be employed less
than 10 hours a day. This, in effect, Is a
request for a minimum wage of $3.50 per
day, and does not apply to extra men. who
may be employed whatever number OF
hours circumstances may require.
The time when pay commences, however,
If the scale asked for is allowed, will
! hereafter commence from the office instead
of from the barn, and the men will return
| the ears on their own time.
| Recently the employees were given an in
crease to 45 cents an hour for overtime,
and they are paid at the end of each day
instead of by the week.
Naturally, under such treatment, the re-
lations existing between the p and
it's employees are most cordial, and there
is no feeling whatever behind che request,
the men being confident that the ompany
will do all it can for them in reason.
The request for an advance has been for
warded by Mr.. Wharton to Hon. w. A.
Clark. without any recommendation in the
matter.
