BARRIERS TAKE IT BACK
ORDER OF SUSPENSION AGAINST
PARTELLoW REVOKED.
Action Taken on Advice of President
McconcId of the Western
Labor Union.

Butte, Jan. 27.-The BARRIERS union
held a meeting last night and consid-
ered the case of o. M. Partellow, ex-
president of the union, who was de-
at the time of the investigation into
the shortage of Treasurer Layne. 1t
was charged that Partellow knew OF
the shortage and concealed it and
that he had also been guilty of dis
closing union secrets. He was depos-
ed from office and suspended from the
union without being given opportun-
ity to defend himself or meeting the
charges made against him. He ap-
nealed to President Mcdonald of the
Western Labor union, which organiza-
ton has jurisdiction owe the BARRIERS
union. and Mr.. Mcdonald decided IN
favor of Partellow, holding that the
action of the usion in suspending or
expelling a member without trial was
unprecedented and unheard of. He
appeared before the uuNUH last Al6Ae
and stated the case, reading his de-
cision in full. 1t was held by him that
the action in expelling Partellow was
illegal and void. After the decision
was received by the union h latter
adopted it as law and revoked the or
der against the ex-president, and ne
was re-instated as a member OF the
union. In accordance with it's rules
it then decided to prefer formal
charges against Partellow and give
him a trial. A trial board VIII De
appointed at the next regular meet
ing next Monday night and the board
will then name a date for the trial.
AS the union has not approved OF
some information that has come to
the public regarding its affairs, a press
committee consisting of w. M. Erler,
H. c.. Granting and J.. w. Lees was
appointed last night.

MYSTERY IS CLEARED UP
DR.. WINES BODY WAS IN TRAIN
WRECK.
Manager of Express Company Makes
Statement-Skull Fractured
After Death.

Great Falls, Jan. 27.-The mystery
of the crushed skull of DR.. w. H.
Wine, which led to a suspicion that
he was murdered, has been cleared
UP. DR.. Wine was the defeated can
didate for coroner of Teton county
last election. He was a new arrival
from Virginia, but made a good race.
He drank heavily after election, and
on January 8 was found dead in his
office at Dupuyer.
DR.. VIII. Stearns, who defeated
Wine for election as coroner, held his
first inquest over the remains OF DR..
Wine, and the jury returned a verdict
of death from natural causes. Death
was really due, it is said, to the eff
fects of a protracted spree.
At the request of Virginia relatives
of the deceased, the remains of DR..
Wine were shipped to Virginia, leav-
ing here over the Great Northern. A
few days ago the relatives in Virginia
received the remains. The casket
was opened and it was discovered that
the skull was badly fractured at the
base of the brain.
The suspicion of the relatives that
the man had been murdered was then
aroused. A coroner's jury was i'm
paneled at the Virginia town, and
a verdict was promptly rendered that
the death was due to the crushed
| skull. In other words, the Virginians
were prompt to make a murder charge
against Montana people, and they
fastened to give to the press the re-
! suit of the inquest with it's decided
reflection upon the Montana coroner's
Jury which rendered the verdict from
natural causes.
Today the mystery was cleared up.
The local agent of the Great Northern
Express company, which handled the
remains on their way east, received a
telegram from the general manager
of the company at st. Paul. This tel
egram stated that the coffin was in
one of the express cars which lac
been in the disastrous wreck at Barn
esville, Mimi, and that the original
coffin had been smashed to bits and
the remains bruised badly. The local
agent was directed to give this in
formation to all persons interested.
This information clears the Teton
county people of untruthfulness and
| scandalous charges made by the Vlr-
| ginia people, and clears up what at
| one time seemed a great mystery.

FORMER BILLINGS MAN NOW
CALLED "FIRE-CRACKER" BILL
BIG CHIMNEY STILL STANDS
Dynamite Failed to Level Massive
Pile of Masonry at Old Ana
conda Works.

Anaconda, Jan. 27.-The blowing
up of the big chimney of the old
smelling works north of the Butte,
Anaconda & Pacific railroad tracks
yesterday was a grand fasco. 1t had
been announced that the big chin
ney was to come off at 4 o'clock and
at that time a large crowd had gath
cred to see the destruction of one
of the largest pieces of masonry in
the state. Points of vantage in all
parts of the city were filled with
spectators. The tower at the city hall
and the roof in the a was packed
with citizens who, by the generosity
of the fire boys, had been permitted
to secure this advantageous point.
The windows of the Montana hotel
were crowded, as were also those of
St. AIMS hospital, with anxious sight
seers.
Field glasses were trained upon the
gigantic pile and here and there could
be seen pigmy men hurrying about
placing the charges and arranging
everything for the big explosion. w.
B. Webb, as could be plainly seen.
was master of ceremonies and was
directing the operations. AS the time
went by the people began to get ner.

FILE A PROTEST.
Silver Bow Commissioners Don't Want
Miller Bill 20 Pass.

Butte, Jan. 27.-The county COM
m~issioners today sent protests to Hell
ent against the passage of the Miller
bill, which provides for very much
restricting the sessions of boards of
county commissioners.
The move is in the direction of econ
omy, as the commissioners are paid
by the number of days put in at their
work. The Miller bill restricts the
service in each month to 10 days
with the exception of the month OF
November, when 20 Gays is the limit.
In the letters that were forwarded
to the legislature by the board Of Sill
yer Bow county today it vas stated
that even with the holdings of daily
sessions it is almost impossible for
the three commissioners here to trans
act all the business that is presented
to them, and it is confidently stated
that if the sessions are restricted as
proposed the public service will seri-
ously suffer. One protest is addressed
to Representative c. B. Miller, author
of the bill.

vous, but no one was willing to leave
the place until after the thousands
of tons of brick had been hurled into
the air. At exactly 5 minutes of 5
o'clock Mr.. Webb announced that all
was in readiness. With a wave OF
the hand and an authoritative voice
he ordered the crowds back. Every
one moved back a hundred yards or
so, but Mr.. Webb said that was not
far enough. So every one had to- re-
treat another hundred yards. A crowd
of small boys who were on the trestle
neal the chimney were severely scold-
ed for their recklessness.
The charge was to be set of by
electric battery. A gigantic force OF
dynamite, giant powder and eXplo-
sives had been put in the proper
places, and the battery was carefully
watched lest the explosion should
take place prematurely and the tower
in crashing to the ground would catch
some hapless workman.
With an apprehensive look about
to see that everyone was at a safe
distance and a cry of Remember the
Maine," Mr.. Webb touched the but
ton, "a spark was seen, and o
went the charge. Women screamed
and turned their heads away-the men
stood in protecting attitudes, even
the horses in the vicinity seemed
frightened. But when the smoke had
cleared away there stood the giant
chimney, apparently unchanged and
as though it's big curved sides Would
laugh at the bewildered humanity be-
low. Never touched me-" shouted an
urchin. Mr.. Webb has not been seen,
but he has already been dubbed
''F~irecracker Bill
The intention is to blow down the
useless chimney in order to use the
brick. Another attempt will be made
to destroy the big structure, but it is
probable that an extra supply OF ex-
plosives will have to be shipped IN.
The gigantic chimney was evidently
nut there to. stay, but the company
needs the brick and will make anoth-
er attempt to blow it down.. 1t is
understood, however, that w. b.

EVIDENCE BEFORE The
Presided Over Court and Heard Cases While Il - Of
Observation-Disclosures Letters Read-His Own
Affdavits Involved.

Helena, Jan. 27.-Grave charges
against the moral character and the
judicial integrity of Judge Edward
w. Harvey we're made before the
judiciary committee of the house yes
terday. Harvey listened to his own
friends tell of drunkenness in court.
He heard lawyers tell of %scandalous
misbehavior while on the bench.
Pages of court records, showing that
he either wilfully perjured himself
or else allowed a bride to be offered
him without taking action against
the briber, yer read in his presence.
He sat in a corner of the committee
room and listened with impressive face
to letters, now famous, in which Ada
H. Bracket called him endearing
lanes He heard read another letter
purporting to have come from himself
in which the endearing terms were
responded to in kind.
Not Allowed to cross-Examine.
The committee took a decisive step
yesterday. During the testimony,
John w. Cotter, one of the Montana
Ore Purchasing company's lawyers,
attempted to cross-examine a witness.
He was informed that the committee
had already given Judge Harvey and
his friends wide latitude in the pro-
ceedings and that such procedure
would not be allowed.
He was so far advanced in a state
of intoxication that he was obliged to
support himself by putting his hand
against the wall" In these and sim
liar words Walter S. Hartman de-
scribed Judge Harney's actions on Sill
yer Bow county's district bench last
March.
Also Hartman swore before the
judiciary committee Monday evening
he saw Judge Harvey so drunk on the
bench that he staggered from the
room. The witness told the commit
tee that Q Judge Harvey was thick
tongued and showed the influence OF
liquor plainly.

INSANE ASYLUM IN LONDON
BURNED,
AMONG LuNATIcS
Terror-Stricken Victims Unable to
Help ThemseIves-AII Of the
U~nfortunates Women.

London, Jan 27.-About SO insane
patients were burned to death by a
fire at the Colney Hatch asylum this
morning. The outbreak occurred in
the Jewish wing of the institution.
The flames spread with great rapid
ity and before they could be gotten
under control five wooden buildings
were Quilted.
The inmates became panic stricken
and they were unable to help them
selves and greatly impeded the opra-
tions of those trying to save them.
There were nearly 600 patients in
the building, but most of them were
safely transferred to the main build
ing without injury. Some OF them
are still at large, rendering it difficult
to obtain the exact loss.
Searching the Ruins.
The work of searching the ruins
continues. The officials admit that
about so bodies have been recovered,
but it is feared that the full extent
Of the disaster is not yet known. All
charred remains presented a horrify-
ing spectacle.
The asylum was besieged by anxi-
Gus relatives and friends OF the
patients who arrived from all quar-
tiers. Pitiable scenes were witnessed
as weeping men and women left the
premises after %ascrtaining that rela-
tives and friends had persisted in the
flames.
The nurses had a terrible expert
/ ence in trying to assist the insane
people, who were SO panic-stricken
that they had literally to be driven
to a place of safety. 4
In Fiery Furnace.
The inlammable premises almost
Immediately became a furnace. Moth
ing was left standing, The cOrrugat-
| ed iron roofs of the dormitories and
| the bedsteads of the patients were
melted by the intense heat. Some of
the lunatics were burned in their
beds and the charred remains Of 9th
ers were found huddled together in
corners, while groups of partially con-
| sumed bodies on the side of the cor
| ridors showed that many persons lost
their lives and sacrificed those OF
| others in their frantic efforts to force
a passage through the flames to the
main building.
The latest estimate places the num-
Der Of deaths at SO. All the victims
we're women.

TILT IN THE SENATE.
ouay's Desire to Push Statehood Bill
Causes a Conflict.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Soon after
the senate met today NJ. Platt pre-
scented a report from the committee
on printing and asked for it's consid-
Grafton. To this, MI. Quay of Penn
sylyania objected.
Mr. Hale of Maine said the objection
was extraordinary and that things
had come to a pretty passNif privileg-
ed reports from the committee on
printing could not be considered. He
said that Mr.. Quay had confscated
the time of the senate from 2 O'Clock
and he now sought to confiscate the
time of the morning hour in the in
terest of the statehood bill. He hop
ed Mr.. Plat would move to take up
the printing resolution.
Mr.. Quay replied that there had
been a great deal of sneering on the
floor of the senate" about his action.
He was simply carrying out the will
OF the majority of the senate. Those
who were making complaints would
relieve all pressure by allowing a
vote on the bill. He said he was tir-
ed of being lectured and hectored By
the senator from Maine.
Mr.. Hale said Mr.. Quay was mis-
taken if he thought the majority OF
tie senate was with him in objecting
to a proposition such as printing mat
tiers for the convenience of the SEN
ate.
Mr.. Cockrell then made the point
that under the rules a single objection
carried the resolution over, and ne
was sustained by President Pro Tenn
Frye.
The credentials of Mr.. Alger, re-
Gently elected senator from Michigan,
were presented and the oath OF office
was administered to him.

what at one time neaAy amounted to
a fiat refusal to testify, G. H. Mac
Dougall, a personal friend of Judge
Henry, told how he saw the latter
drunk on the bench during the trial
of the Minnie Healy case and during
the trial of the case Of Leggat VS.. the
Butte City Water company. The wit
ness told the facts although, as he
himself states, he has a warm, per-
sonal feeling for the district judge
now up for impeachment.
Drunk on the Bench.
William H. Chellew testified that
Harvey was intoxicated during the
trial of the case of Riddell against
Ramsey. F. S. Sutherland, a travel
ing salesman living at Butte and E.
C. Day of Helena, both swore to the
same statements.
w. G. Young said Harvey vas in
toxicated during the Minnie Healy
trial. He said that he himself went
with Heinze and Harvey to the club
after the noon adjournment and that
Harvey and Heinze played pool there;
that they did not get back to court
until 2:30, and that a very short time
later Harvey adjourned court for the
day.
Harney's Own Testimony.
Judge Harney's own affidavit in the
Stivers' disbarment case, in which
he tells that Stivers offered him a
! bride "a document which shows that
Harvey either listened to such an Of
fer without taking the steps he had
power to take, or else %perjured him
self, was read. So were long portions
of the transcript in the Shores dis
barment relating to the Minnie
Healy case and Harney's conduct
with Mrs. Bracket. Letters from
Mrs. Bracket, among these the ia
nous "Dearie" epistle. were also
read.
From 8 o'clock in the morning unit!
long past noon the committee listen
ed to these statements of drunken
ness, intimate relations with a woman
lobbyist, and ~unbecoming conduct.

rigable land developed to it's greatest
extent.
