The cars decree of reforms for Russia
is judged as being the most far-reaching
measure that recent years have seen
in any European power. The London
papers compare 1t to a political Magma
Charta, leading to ultimate national self
government, while Hebrews throughout
the world rejoice i'm the religious free
dom thus granted their race in a coun-
try where oppression and discrimination
have been the rule. Its results can be
only roughly estimated at this time, but
is seems to be manifesto big with pos
sibllites for Russia's future development
as a progressive nation.

Bartenders in North Walpole Arrest

ed.
Several arrests were made at North
Walpole, Saturday for violation of the
u. S. revenue laws. L. S. Marshal Ham
blet arrested b. Brady, Michael Kean,
James A. Hayes Thomas Donegan and
John Mcclure for selling liquor without
a government license. These arrests
open up a new phase in the New Hamp-
shire liquor traffic. All the arrested
men are bartenders at North Walpole

the usual fines Each mans employer
holds a L. s. liquor license. and hereto
fore the supposition has been that the
license covered the place of sale. The
action of the government in requiring
the actual seller to hold a license Will
eliminate the system of fine takers

practiced for some time. The arrested

JUDGE GROSSCUPTAL
ON PACKING COMBINE
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Los Angeles, March 6.-Judge =. ).
Grosscup Of the United States court of
Chicago has arrived in Los Angeles lie
is travelling in private car accompanied
by several friends.
In speaking of the alleged packing COM
bne case, in which he granted tempor-
airy injunction, Judge Grosscup said:
Il do not apprehend that the packing
companies will care to proceed with the
case However, | do not know that my
decision regarding the interference of the
federal courts will amount to anything.
OF course, the antitrust bill has arranged
the latter so that federal courts have now
the authority OF congress direct to act.
The Elkins bill certainly will strengthen
the interstate commerce act but how far
any remedy will affect it is difficult to esti-
mate at this time. 1t is a fact at this
time that the railroads do not wish to
grant rebates. The railroads would like
to secure full rates from all sources, but
will now have to be sure that rival roads
or smaller branch roads are cutting them.
The new bill was to regulate this propo-
sition. As to breaking up the trusts, the
future will have to demonstrate how ef-
fective the Elkins bill will be-"

Sanders. who related the story, says that
he succeeded La Porto as bartender at the
place few days ago. Since then, he as
serts La Porto has made threats of get
ting even" He stated that he paid no at
tention to these threats, and nothing de-
veloped until shortly after 4 o'clock this
morning.
At that time La Porto entered the sa-
loon and ordered glass OF beer.
AS he was drinking il he began abusing
Sanders and followed this up by drawing
revolver and threatening to bore hole
in the latter.
Sanders summoned the police, and La
Porto was locked up in the city Jail, being
removed to the county Jail this forenoon.
The prisoner denies that he had any in
tention OF injuring Sanders. and that he
only intended to frighten him.

Spokan., Wash. March 6.-Two new
ifornia, one in San Francisco and the
other in Los Angeles.
The propositions have been financed,
ground secured and application made foi
admittance into Pacific Northwest league.
The announcement made over a month ago
that the Pacific Northwest league in
tended TO invade Pacific coast territory
was not all bluff, as is shown by this
announcement. Work has been going on
quietly for some time and everything Is
said TO be in readiness for final action.
Who the promoters OF the new scheme are,
or who are backing them is kept secret,
but at least two teams will be in the field.
Making Room.
Although the fact was not made public
the two towns mentioned applied some
time ago for a franchise in the Pacihc-
Northwest league and President Lucas
went South to look over the situation.
The result is that two towns will be ac-
corded room in this league, unless the Pa
cifc coast league drops Portland and Sc
atte II now all rests with the Paciilc
Coast league and Hank Harris. II the
baseball magnatc now controlling the Pa
ci6c Coast league concludes to stay with
the territory he has invaded, there viii be
two leagues in California, one including
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento
Okland, Portland and Seattle, and the
other embracing the towns Of San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, la
coma, Spokane, Butte and Helena.
There is a bare possibility that another
team or two in California may be taken IN
circuit, but there is little chance OF this.
From what Harris has said there is little
probability of his releasing Seattle and
Portland from his string.
A Big Jump.
The Jump from Butte to San Francisco
is big one, but the league magnates be
lieve that without being taxed to support
Oakland and Sacramento, as is the Pacihc
coast league they will make II pay. AZ all
events the war promises to be lively one

Great Falls, March 6.--The mystery sur
rounding the strange disappearance four
years ago next April Of Joseph Trimborn,
a wealthy brewer of this city, has been
cleared up by the discovery that he is
alive in Tasmania, Australia where he has
been living since he dropped out of sight
in New York city. He left here for New
York to close a business deal. lie disap-
peared from the Grand hotel, where he
was stopping and all efforts to locate him
failed A reward of $500 was offered for
information about him. His wife, who
was here, became distracted and recently
went to Germany to live.
Trimborn was a heavy owner in the
stock of the Montana Brewing company of
this city and owned some houses, all of
which were in his wife's name, as he failed
in Dillon about 1902, prior to coming here.
There are reports that there is a woman
in the case, but this is largely conjectural,
because Great Falls woman is said to
have left here about that time land to be
in Australia now.

and two deputies, swooped down on the
Pope saloon in the Clark building on Aead-
emy street, and 10 minutes later returned
to the police station loaded with slot

1t seems that Chief Reynolds had given
orders this morning that all slot machines
in process of operation shall be raided
When McGllic returned to the police sta
tion with the machine belonging to the
Pope saloon, however, Judge Boyle told
him to let the machines alone and arrest
their propretors.
At later hour five more slot machines
were captured in raid on the California
brewery and it is understood that gen
