Charges Against Dixon Denied.

The democratic campaign orators
and the party's misrepresenting news
papers have been industriously circu.
lating reports to the effect that when
Hon. Joseph NJ. Dixon, Montana's
representative in congress, secured
the passage of bill confirming titles
to certain lands in the Bitter Root
valley he was acting in the interest of
the Anaconda Copper Mining com
pany. The reports are shown to be
without foundation in fact by the
printed lists of the persons owning
the patents to the lands whose rights
have been made secure by congress
sional action. and by letter written
by one of the interested parties.
1t will be recalled that the interior
department a number of years ago de.
clared that patents to certain lands in
the Bitter Root valley outside of the
so.called "old survey,' comprising a
strip on each side of the valley from
Lo Lo to Sleeping Child creek, and
south of Sleeping Child creek, except.
ing such as were under the homestead
law, were illegal. The people had
settled upon these lands in good faith
and after years Of endless litigation
Mr.. Dixon secured the passage of the
bill giving these bona tide settlers
title to their land. 1t was an action
on his part that gave these people
their homes on the lands upon which
they had so long resided and made
valuable.
w. b. Harlan of Como, an Inter.
ested party, has written to L. Donlan
Of Missoula a letter denying in toto
these charges against Congressman
Dixon and showing that the latter
acted in the interests Of the settlers of
the beautiful valley whose homes were
in jeopardy. Mr.. Harlan points out
clearly that the Anaconda company
was the beneficiary only in a small
degree from the passage of the act.

Mt Vernons Won Good Game From St.
Stephen'S

The Mt. Vernon team of the Sunday
School Athletic Association have at last
won game, making the second of the sea-
son. Its games for a few weeks past have
been protested on account of ineligible
players. but che st. Stephen management
decided to play players who were not ell
gible not to take advantage of the
Mt. Vernons. This was done and the game
was to go to the one who won. which
proved to be the Nj. Vernons, who went at
it with vim and vigor that surpris-
ing. winning by the score of to 3.

Today.

Clarence Hobart won the final of the
mems singles yesterday in the middle

Lawn Tennis Club. at Mountain Station. N.
J. He defeated Richard Stevens by Is
IS. So 60. Ga. Hobart will challenge
Stephen c. Mfllett for the championship
The competition will be played this after
noon. The final of the women's champion
ship singles was also played. and the COM
petition resulted in another remarkable win
for Miss May Sutton, the national woman
champion who took her match from Miss
Helen Romans of the West Side Tennis
Club by Go Go.
The mems final was a battle of the
giants. The drives were all long and care
fully placed. the points coming off only
when one of the competitors caught the
other out of position. Hobart was strong
on his service. and he used better general
ship than Stevens. The old European player
came up to the net at times, thing that
Stevens never does unless forced to do so
by q short ball. and then he shot back
pass at Stevens that rarely failed to score.
Stevens lobbed with good effect in the last
sets. and his line plays were unusually
good. but he was not aggressive enough to
defeat Hobart. who played a cleverly COM
bined net and base line game.
The victory of Miss Sutton was expected.
but it was not thought that she would be
able to beat Miss Romans at love. Miss
Sutton hits the ball very hard, and all of
her strokes are good. Miss Sutton will
meet Carrie B. Nicely the Chicago girl, this
afternoon in the challenge and champion
ship match of the women's singles.

cluded in the habeas corpus hearing before
United States District Judge Ray at Nor
witch today. 1t is expected that all of the
others will be disposed of tomorrow. The
one taken up was that charging Senator
Green with bribing George w. Beavers for
the purchase of time recorders.
The government claimed that in view
of the recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the Beavers case, ii was not
necessary to show probable cause from
evidence, in order to remove Mr.. Green
to Washington for trial. contending that
the indictments themselves are sufficient
for such a removal.
Green's attorney contended that prob
able cause must be shown and that none
such has been shown in the examination
before Commissioner Hall He also said
that the checks which Green is charged
with giving Beavers do not constitute
bribery, there being no allegation or proof
that the checks were good, were paid or
were given for any wrongful act.
