WHY THE IVORY CITY"
swinging view of the beautiful Elk
position gives a sense of artistic graft
fication. Architect Gilbert had for his
general motif the building of an EXPOSE
ton City that would in its lines fit in
with the city of Charleston, held as n
ransom in this century from the archi-
lecture of other days.
Here his aim was to make architecture
and tone that would tremendously blend
with the city itself, and this he has done

of twinkling lights in waters and be-
meath caves shed prismatic coronet of
beauty in ever changing beauty upon
this Fairyland of the South.
NORTH CAROLINA WEEK.
The magnificent exhibit made by North
Carolina is an attraction which will be
an added power to draw North Carolin-
ians to the Exposition. and from all over
the State they are going to give aid to
heroic Charleston in making a success
of her Exposition.
While visitors from this State will go
by thousands during the Exposition there
is one week that will see Charleston
captured by the forces from North
Carolina. This is the week beginning
April {, and during that time Governor
Aycock and his staff, escorted by a COM
posite regiment made up of four COM
panies from each of the three regiments |
OF the State, under the command of Col |
j. T. Armtield, of Statesvile, will be in
Charleston.

will be a great place where Carolinians |

will fraternize and clasp hands with |
their brethren of South Carolina.

7 NCLE SAM has added a new fea-
ture to the many industries in
which he is engaged. His latest
business enterprise is TO estab-
lish a select boarding house. And. as
Uncle Sans undertakings have always
something to distinguish them from those
Of private individuals. so this boarding
house Of the Government differs from all
others in one very important matter-it
is free. At other places boarders must
pay for what they eat. bat here the

The plan has its advantages. certainly.
but it has its drawbacks as well. There
is always a fly in the ointment. and al
though Uncle sam is setting the best
kind OF table he can. all without cost TO

recompense that few persons would be

Purpose Of the Test.
II is just this that has led the Govern
ment TO go into the business Of pro-
viding free meals for those who arc
willing to accept the conditions attach

ments is to determine in the only salts

attitude taken by the German govern /
ment toward American meats Is perhaps
in a measure responsible for the expert
ment, although the officials OF the De-
partment Of Agriculture say otherwise.

DRINK r HE CAUSE
Residents of Stuttgart, Ark, Claim That
Anderson Was Forced Into
Crime.
DRINK HE CAUSE

Hamilton, Mont, Jan. 21.-Sheriff
Watts returned last night from Ar
kansas, where he went with B. An
derson, alias Byron A. Keith, who
was arrested by him few weeks ago
for embezzling Wells-Fargo Express
company's money at Stuttgart, Ark.
He gives it as his opinion that An
derson will never be found guilty in
the community, owing to the circum-
stances surrounding the case. He
says the sympathy of the community
seems to be with Anderson, and
when Sheriff Watts arrived there the
sheriff of the county refused to re-
ce1ve the prisoner, stating that he
had no warrant for his arrest. Sub
sequently, however, warrant was
sworn out and given to a constable,
who took charge of Anderson.
People down there say that no jury
will be found to convict the man, and
the general impression is that he was
as much sinned against as SHINING.
According to the story there, the
wife, whose case has been given
much sympathy, was not at all what
she should have been, as it was her
faults that caused Anderson, who had
few dollars, to get on a spree,
spending part of the money he had
and being robbed while in that condi-
ton. While in this state of mind
the money in the express safe
tempted him and he took it. 1t is
also said in Stuttgart that Ander3>
gave his wife $1,000 of the stolen
money and told her to do the best
she could by the children, as she
would not likely see anything more
of him.

DEFAULTER
Cashier of the First National
Bank Under Arrest
GAMBLED IN STOCKS
Lost All of His Money And Used Banks
Funds to Retrieve His Loss
But Failed.
GAMBLED IN STOCKS

Great Falls, Jan. 21.-H H. Matte
son, cashier of the First National
bank of this city, was arrested at the
instance of Bank Examiner LaZear on
a charge OF embezzlement. The exact
amount of the shortage is not yet
known, but it is estimated to be in
lne nelghborhoou OF $4,000. Examl-
nation of the books of the bank is
now being made, but it is not antici-
pated that the defalcation will exceed
the amount stated. There is no ques-
tion concerning the solvency of the
bank and it's ability to meet all it's
obligations.
rUr more than week it has been
kn0Nl TO the officers and directors
of the bank that Matteson had been
mlsappropriating funds, and at the
request OF the comptroller Oh the
currency, Mr.. Lazear, with head
quarters at Denver was instructed to
make an examination of the books
That officer arrived in Great Falls
last night, and this morning, in COM
pany with President Gold T. Curtis,
confronted Matteson with his crime.
The latter at once confessed to
having used the banks money for
speculative purposes and to having
falsiied the books in order to cover
up the crime. He claimed that he
lost tie Dank'a s lhCAey, as Wei as
shout $4,000 more, which had been

era years ago. il specializing in cop

How long Matteson's speculations
have been goins on is no. Known, but
t is thought that they have extended
over more than a year 1t is SAL
tat he realized large profits from the
rise in copper stocks several months
ago, but that, having too great conf
dence in the market, when the slump
came he was overloaded and in an
effort to cover his transactions he
was drawn into the whirlpool and
arsgged down.
The First National bank is one of
the strongest financial institutions in
Montana and has back of it men and
istitutions of unlimited resources.
While Matteson's defalcations will
fall as heavy blow on the people,
it is certain that no depositor will
lose dollar, neither will the banks
credit be impaired in any particular.

Mine Workers President is Charged With
Abetting Dishonesty
A WOMAN MAKES THE COMPLAINT
After Considerable Discussion Committee of Seven is
Appointed to Investigate the Officers Who
Claim to Be Innocent.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 22.--Chargos
against President Mitchell, Secretary
Wilson, and the executive board nf
the United Mine Workers OF America
were brought before the convention
this afternoon by Miss Mlllie Mere
dith.
Miss Merediths statement was
concerning the shortage of eA-Secre-
tary and Treasurer Pierce, and al
legged that President Mitchell and
Secretary and Treasurer Wilson did
not give out all the facts concerning
Pierce's actions, and that they will
fully lied to the committe a year ago.
She demanded an investigation of the
books to see how much was Pearce's
shortage.
It was intimated that both Mitchell
and Wilson protected Pearce and for
that reason did not give out all the
facts, and she charged that Pearce
also said that Pearece's extra money
amounted to $4,000 a year, while
Mitchell and Wilson reported that he
had only taken $160.
Secretary and Treasurer Wilson
denied the truth of the statements
and said that it was the autgrowth of
