Looking Into Charges Of In

beats, TO vote for the Democratic candi-
dates on the city ticket in the recent
election, is being quietly. but thoroughly
investigated by a committee OF promi-
nent Italian business men and taxpayers.
All OF the citizens OF Italian birth who
have stated that they have grievances
will be seen individually. their stories
taken and reduced TO writing. and they
Will be sworn to before a notary public.
in order that there may be no question
about the facts OF the cases.
There Is very strong Republican
sentiment among the citizens of Italian
birth I'm this city, and up to last Tues
days election their vote has always been
solidly Republican.
IL was expected that. inasmuch as the
Democrats OF the Ninth ward had put a
citizen OF Italian birth on their common
council ticket, a number of the Italian
prop arty voters would cast their ballots
for their fellow countryman, but this
would not account for the mayoralty
vote.

That Secretary OF State Hay shall re-

MARCUS DAILY LOSES
BATTLE WITH DISEASE.

New York, Nov. 12.-Marcus DAILY OF
Montana died at e. m. today at the Ho-
tel Netherlands.
Mr.. Daly's death has been expected for
weeks. He came home from Europe about
the middle OF September. and soon after
wards was obliged 10 take 10 his bed.
from which he never again arose.
His physicians Informed the relatives
some time ago that Mr.. DAILY would die
and so dangerously Ill was he that they
would give assurance of life only from
day TO day. Bright's disease. complicated
with heart weakness was the cause OF
death
Marcus DAILY was born in Ireland in
1912. He came TO the United States early
In life and since 1876 had been a citizen OF
Montana. He became general manager OF
the Alice Silver mine and later came into
control of the Anaconda copper mine. At
the time OF his death he was president of
the Amalgamated Copper Mine company.
In politics he was n Democrat. The diff
ferences between Mr.. DAILY and w. A..
Clark have attracted much attention.
The trouble started years ago over some
land near Butte, which DAILY and Clark
purchased together. Clark secured water
rights, which DAILY wanted and raised on
the price while a deal was being peRo-
tiated.
The price was raised from s25. 600 TO FIVE
times that sum. Litigation ensued, cul-
minsting in an order from the courts
compelling DAILY to pay Clark s225.OoO for
his interest, and DAILY swore vengeance.
Daly's opportunity for revenge came in
1883. when Clark was the Democratic
nominee for delegate to congress. With
his immense influence at Anaconda, DAILY
was able to throw heavy vote 10 Car
ter. Clarkes Republican rival which had
previously been cast for the Democratic
party.
Montana became a state in 1889. Clark
was put forward by his party for the
United States senate. After a bitter con-
test the legislature was organized by
both parties, each claiming TO be legal.
The Republicans named Thomas c. Power
and w. f. Sanders for their senator's.
while the Democrats put up Mr.. Clark and
Major Martin Maginnis. The Republi-
cans were seated.
Days influence defeated Clark in Sec
ond contest in 1893 In that legislature

But he placed no obstacle in deaths

Nearly all the members OF the Khaliff's
