"QUO VADIs" Is GOOD.
Oscar Vanderbilt Recommends It to
Butte Theater Patrons

Oscar Vanderbilt, city passenger and
ticket agent for the Northern Pacific at
st. Paul, has written w. Fl. Merriman,
the company's genial agent in this city,
a letter concerning the play "Quo
Vadis." II have just witnessed a per-
Torrance of Whitney F. Knowles Quo
Vadis,' which starts west over our line
next week." says Mr.. Vanderbilt, land
will be in your town soon. l wish to say
that this is one of the best productions
and one of the most complete of any that
has been over our road for long time.
You probably remember the performance
OF last year, which was equal to any
that we have ever had, and l am free to
confess that the attraction of this year
is an improvement aver last year.
Productions of this class should be
we'll patronized, and I should like you
to do whatever is in your power to call
the attention of people to it. I would
advise you to see 1t by all means. You
know that 1 am not in the habit of
recommending shows unless l am posi-
tive that they will make it good hence,
my reason for doing SO in this case"

DENIES MANY ALLEGATIONS
Saws She Did Not Make His Existence
Miserable, as He Claims-Did
Not Drive Him From
His Home.

In the suit for separate maintenance
brought by Carry NJ. Whitley against
Winfield Scott Whitley the complainant
filed her reply to the defendants answer
today in the district court.
Mrs. Whitley denies that she has an
ungovernable temper and that she is
continually seeking to provoke White

MANY WOULD SERVE
NUMEROUS CANDIDATES FOR
CITY EMPLOYMENT AGENT.
UNION APPLICANTS INDoRsED
Trades and Labor Assembly Will Play
No Tavorites-List of Candidates 81
will Be Sent to Mayor 7
Davcy Tomorrow. -

Mayor Davey has been flooded with
applications for the position Of agent OF
the municipal free employment bureaus,
and there are more to follow. g
All of the trades unions in the city
are anxious to be represented in the
office, and nearly every union in the
city has selected a candidate to be ina
dorsed for the office. <
Trades and Labor Endorsement. :,
+ In order to relieve the mayor somewhat,
the Trades and Labor Assembly has pre-
pared list Of the candidates from the
different unions and last night Endorsed
all of them. This is in order so that
the mayor will not feel hampered in
case he chooses a labor union candidate.
The full list of candidates will be sent
to the mayor tomorrow by the secre-
tary of the assembly.
The ordinance creating the office has
been prepared by City Attorney Lamb
and is now in the hands of the judiciary
committee.
Women After Peace.
Since the ordinance was drafted, a
movement has been started to secure an
assistant agent. This is due, in great
measure, to the strong pressure being
brought to bear in favor of a woman
agent.
1t is thought that the committee will
amend the ordinance so as to provide for
ar assistant, and If this is accepted by
the council, a woman will be appointed
to that position.
There are three applications from
women now on hand, and more are ex-
pected when it is made public that one
of the positions will go to the sex.
The council is expected to act on the
matter at the meeting this week, and
in order to get the bureau to working
quickly, may pass the bill under sus-
pended rules. x

STEVE WELLS'SLAYER
HUTHHeSAY THEY HAVE HIN
FT IN KANSAS CITY.
DESCRIPTION HAS BEEN WIRED
James Burke-Is Charged With
a. Many Crimes in Other
States.

:. Detective Jerry Murphy thinks he has
again got on the track of one of the MUIR
derers Of Missouri Steve" Wells, who
was shot by holdup men in the alley
back of the city Jail last winter.
!. Word was received from Kansas City
yesterday that Chief of Police Hays had
in custody a noted criminal who gave
his his name as James Burke. The man
was shot in the foot while trying to es-
cape from the police, after a fight in a
store in Kansas City.
/ Charged With Many Crimes.
/ He has been identified as the Burke
who served in the Utah penitentiary for
diamond robbery, holding up faro deal
ers r in several cities and for daring
|crimes in Colorado and California.
Detective Murphy this morning wired
a ull description of the Burke wanted
here to the Kansas City police and an
answer is expected this afternoon or
evening.
Missouri Steve" was shot in a little
cabin back of the city Jail. He had been
cook, and for the benefit of the gam
blcrs among the walters and restaurant
employees ran a small faro game in his
cabin. He had as a partner one Layson,
who was supposed to have plenty of
money.
Shot for His Money.
Layson, Steve and another man were in
the cabin when two men, afterwards
identified as J. c. Perry, alias James c..
Burke, and Pat O'Connor, entered the
place with guns in their hands.
Wells was leaning up against a table
with his hands in his hip pockets and
the holdup men. thinking he was going
after a gun. shot him.
AS Wells fell one of the men struck
him a heavy blow with the butt end of
a gun and fractured the skull.
Wells died almost Immediately In
some manner Wells partner escaped
during the shooting and was not injured.
Only a small amount of money was Sc
cured.
Murderers Got Away.
Both Burke and O'Connor made their
escape. Pictures were secured of them
from the Utah penitentiary and sent
out.
Twice the men were caught in other
cities, but there being no reward offered
for their return to Butte. they always
managed to slip out of the tolls.
The county officials insisted that the
city should offer reward and the city
cl2imed it was the business o. the county
to pay rewards. Each time during the
discussion over the payment Of small
sim the murderers got away.
County Will Be Asked to Help.
With the capture of Burke in Kansas
City interest has been revived in the case.
r, reward money is available, but de-
ternined effort will be made to induce
til county commissioners to defray ex-
pensas and order the man brought to
Butte for trial.
The officers are awaiting an answer to
the description wired to Chief Hays and

Cuban Committee Relations On.
posed to Plat Amendments.
dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
Senior Viliuenda of the committee on reIa-
tions of the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton today signed the report Of Juan Quail
beTto Gomez. thus placing a majority of
the committee in opposition to the principal
features of the Platt amendment Neither
the radicals nor the conservatives seem
anxious to put the question to an imme-
date vote. The plan to send a delegation
to Washington first Is being favorably con-
sidered.
Little public interest Is manifested in the
outcome. The convention itself is divided
into warning political factions, local poll
tics being the chief subject of discussion
General Sanguily has sent in his resigna-
ton, alleging that he could not abide by
the vote of the Havana republicans reject
ing the amendment.
1t is doubtful If the convention would ac-
cept the amendment. as the republican dele
gates from Santiago and Santa Clara,
though they have been repudiated by their
party for voting against the amendment,
still hold their seats. Radically opposite
views are held by different groups of the
same party, and this tends to substantiate
the assertion of the conservative press that
tered in Havana, and that the delegates
do not represent the feeling of their con-
stftuents.
split Is threat ened in the national party
of Havana because of a resolution adopted
against the Plat amendment. Senior Ia
mayo, secretary of state, resigned from the
party today.

Effect Disintegratinx.


1T Is an act that will have disintegrat
ing effect upon preachers and people. 1t
places all concerned in defensive posi-
ton. Each man is called upon to stay II
he can, or wait till n call or pull will
put him in better position. Each church is
called upon to assume new responsibilities
in securing man of long-tenure charaC
ter or in affecting felIcitous removal of
the brother whose miSfortunate capabilities
are not sufficiently tenacious to endure
long strain. 1t produces a wider separa
ton between the bishop of the conference
and the preachers: not in sympathy and
love which the appointing power may bear
for the brethren. but N Il legal relationship.
The want of law gives lin the greatest dis
erection possible in dealing with his breth-
rem. We know the bishops only as appoint
ment makers. BY this excessive power
over us one of the bonds of Christian unity
Is broken. Confidence In a mans 'godly
judgment Is not sufficient when so many
important interests are involved. law
of release from embarrassment would Of
ten bring comfort to the pastors and bring
the bishop into closer sympathy with their
interests. The shorter the term of service
governed by law the less probability there

One hundred and thirty years of expert
ence has proven that the average pasto-
rate is a little under three years.
This il a constitutional condition in the

unconstitutional law. There are exceptions
to the rule. and they should be provided
