GIVES HIS REASONS.
Why Governor Declines to Declare

why Governor Declines to Declare
Book Contract Forfeited.
Recently in these columns appeared
the announcement that Governor
Toole had declined to act upon the
recommendation of the state superin-
tendent of public instruction and de-
clare forfeited the contract held with
the state by CHM & Co., school book
publishers. At the same time it was
also stated that his excellency had in
timated that he was holding the mat
ter in abeyance and would at some
future date enter more fully into the
matter. During the interim he was
preparing a letter in which he gives
his final decision and his reasons
therefor.
The governor now says that CHM
& Co. have offered to enter into con-
tract with the state of Montana on
the same basis of those held with
Georgia and Indiana, which were made
the foundation of the charges by the
superintendent. In this connection
the governor continues as follows:
"This would require flve-year con-
tract and practically guarantee by
the state of payment for all textbooks
and sales direct to the pupils rather
than to the districts. am not clear
as to whether this would be an advan-
'tage to the state of Montana, but am
clear that in the face of this offer
it would be impossible to success
fully maintain in court that there had
been any breach of either clause of
the Montana contract. If it shall seem
desirable that Montana shall avail
herself of either form of contract-it
will require some legislation to that
end, to empower those executing it,
for Montana to pledge the credit of
the state as needed. This, however,
can be accomplished at the next ses-
sion of the legislative assembly.
''In the face of these conditions l
would not feel at all justified in pre-
cipitating litigation in what the proofs
would be difficult and expenses heavy.
and to which could not see with fair
certainty, a successful outcome, espe-
cially as it now lies within the power
Of the state, If there be any advant-
age r. either of these other contracts
to secure such contracts without liti-
cation of any kind"

have been established
1t will be remembered that when the
sentence of the couple, imposed for
carrying concealed weapons, had ex-
pired they were taken back to Butte,
whence they came, to stand trial for
burglary. Nothing could be proved
against the man, while the most that
could be made against the girl was
that she had committed petty lar
ceny On this charge she was given
short jail sentence and then removed
to a reformatory institution at Helena.
The man, who gave his name as
Edward Grant, was subsequently inn
prisoned for vagrancy, and he is still
in custody at Butte. Believing that
he was hardened criminal, the
Butte authorities corresponded with
the officers of different cities on the
coast with a view to learning more
about him. Their efforts have been
rewarded at last. A letter received
by the Butte chief of police from
the superintendent of the Washington
state prison says the mans real name
is Edgar Hyde and that he escaped
from that institution last year while
serving Is years for robbery. Pic
lures received of him leave no room
for doubt concerning his identity and
a Washington officer is expected to
arrive for him in a few days.

An honor quite unusual has been
conferred upon the bar Of Billings by
Governor Toole and as a recognition
of the high standing Of its members
it must be fattering to them as well
as pleasing to the citizens generally.
In compliance with the request made 4
of him to appoint six delegates to 4
attend the National Conference Of Law
Examiners the governor named two
Billings lawyers, W. NJ. Johnston and
o. +. Goddard.
The others are Colonel Wilbur g..
Sanders and T. G. Bach Of Helena and
William Scallon of Butte. s s

ference, which will be held at ST.

tegrity and general manhood on the
part of those seeking admission to the
profession Of law Six secretaries of

All DESTROYS Of Same End.
Says the call for the conference:
"One evidence of the movement to
raise the standard Of admission to the
bar is the fact that within recent
years 25 states and territories have
created state boards Of law examiners Il
and nine others have adopted some
plan whereby they are endeavoring to
establish higher standard The crea-
ton and work Of these boards have
have materially assisted in restoring
the legal profession to its rightful
place among the learned professions
and the movement is steadily grow
ing in popularity and power.
"The meetings Of the Associations
of American Law Schools lat the same
time and place as the American Bar
association) have doubtless resulted,
by the comparison of views and meth
DDS, in great benefit to the teachers
in these schools. Benefits of the same
kind may be obtained by members
of the state boards Of law examiners
from like meetings. These consider
ations have led to the suggestion Of 4 Il
National Conference Of Law Examine
ers, to be held at ST. Louis concurrent.

RACE WAR is. IMMINENT
Little Town of Fraser, Ia, is
Wrought Up over Shooting Of
White Nan By "a Negro.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 21.-Race war
is regarded as imminent a. Fraser, Ia,
where Thomas Albright, a white min
or, was shot and MORALLY wounded by
James Price, a negro. The white min
ers held a meeting Sunday afternoon,
and voted to REFUSE to work longer
with the negroes. They accuse the
negroes of having aided Price to make
his escape, and feeling is intense.
There are from IS to so negroes in the
mining camp, and about 1,200 whites.
Both sides are heavily armed.
A negro thought to be Price was
seen e Ogden, seven or eight miles
from Fraser, Sunday evening. He an
swered the description of the wanted
man, and On seeing that he was discov-
cred, concealed himself in a cornfield.
A posse from Ogden is searching for
him in that direction, while still an
other body is making a thorough
search of all the negro huts in Fra
ser. If Price is caught, it is believed
that the miners, in their present frame
of mind, will do him violence.
Albright is still alive, but the doctors
say that he can not survive.

the fair, the sight it presented yes
terday morning was depressing. The
stately dome, the browning feature of
the pavilion, and one of the finest
specimens of the beautiful in architec-
ture, was TO be seen no more, while the
walls yet remaining were wrecked.
Coming as the fire did towards the
close of the exposition, the destruction
of the pavilion gave those who have
been connected with the fair since the
opening day their first idea of this
blows which will be caused by the dis
mantling of the exposition within q
few days.
The rotunda, which, with its beautf-
full fountain and its decorations in the
stately style of the French Renais-
sance, was the most popular feature of
the building, presented an appearance
quite in contrast to that which had
been enacted there daily since June 3
last. The place was deserted and in
stead of Worlds fair visitors was TO
be found a mass of ruins. The big
dome had fallen into the rotunda. Here
and there was a piece of charred furni-
ture.
Back of the rotunda is State hall,
which, Saturday night, was the scene.
of much scurrying in the successful
attempts to save the portraits of the
governors and other famous Missouri
Len.
The roof was caved in, and havoc
had been wrought elsewhere in the
room except on the stage. On the wall
back of the stage hung flags of the
United States and of the exposition in
as good condition as when they were
first viewed by exposition visitors.
Water-soaked were the room to
the east and west of the rotunda. In
the offices of the commission tables
and desks were damaged considerably.
All of the carpets on the first floor
are soiled, while those on the second
floors, together with nearly all of the
furniture, except a few articles carried
out in the fire, were destroyed.
Loss to the Occupants.
Commissioners who were living in
the building at the time of the fire lost
heavily on their personal effects. Mrs.

SHOPLIFTERS BEWARE.
New York Department stores Or
Eapized to Put a Stop to
Petty Thieving.

New York, Nov. 19.-Losses of half a
million dollars through shopliftins
have been suffered during the past
year by q department stores in this
city whose proprietors have formed
an alliance to fight petty pilfering. The
fact that such an alliance had been
formed anne out when a woman was
given a 15-day sentence in the court of
general sessions after having pleaded
guilty to a charge of stealing goods
valued at $5.04 from a department
store. Hitherto the storekeepers have
been willing to let offenders off with
a fine, and the court, as a rule, has act
ed accordingly. Before sentence was
imposed the attorney who had prose-
cuted the Ease said that his law firm
had been retained in an alliance of 81
department stores to prosecute every
case Of shoplifting.

She is a tall, graceful and striking
ly handsome woman, 20 years younger
than Mr.. Post, and has travelled extern
sively with his daughter in Europe and

every one of them the features are
preserved, but before they can be
placed in their permanent resting place
it will require a skilled artist to put
them in good shape. The pictures will
be sent to-day to the Noonan-Kocian
Co., of GIT Locust street, who hung
them in the building, and they will be
given immediate attention.
Pictures Checked Up.
Missouri artists will be greatly re-
lieved to know that all of the paint
ings and drawings in the art room OF
the Missouri building were saved. The
pictures were checked up yesterday
by Capt. j. NJ. O'Shea, the custodian
of the building, and all of them were
found to be safe in the Louisiana
building. The collection probably was
the most interesting of any on the
Plateau of States at the fair.
The art room was at the extreme
west end of the building. Besides the
pictures the bell for the battleship
Missouri was also in this room. The
prevailing color in this room was red.
Several of the pictures were slightly
damaged. The frame of a large por-
trait of Pope Leo, which hung in the
art room, was charred, while the pic
ture itself was unscathed. The latest
addition to the collection, a painting

AFTER SOUVENIR HUNTERS
st. Louis Police Will Protect Worlds
Fair Exhibitors From Thieves
During Closing Days.

st. Louis, Nov. 19.-Souvenir hunt
ers, as they call themselves, or pilfer-
ers, as the police call them, will be
prosecuted by the police at the Worlds
fair.
Taking his cue from things that hap
pened at the close of the Chicago and
Buffalo expositions, Chief of Detectives
Desmond has already begun to take
precautions to protect exhibitors from
petty thefts at the wind-up of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition.
Desmond declares that if visitors be.
come obstreperous, as they did at Chi,
cago and Buffalo, they will be arrested
for disturbing the peace, and if they
attempt to take souvenirs they will be
arrested and prosecuted for petty lar.
ceny. He says the city's reputation
for comparative freedom from crime
during the fair will be maintained at
its close.

The MISSOURI PAVILION in RUINS.
The Most Beautiful State Building On the World
Fair Grounds Reduced to a Mere
Charred Wreck.
Early Reports of the States Losses of Valuable Paint
ings Happily Found to Have Been Baseless,
Nearly All Having Been Saved
But Slightly Damaged.

St. Louis, Nov. 21.-Aside from the
walls and a few badly damaged rooms,
nothing is left of the finest state edi-
fee at the Worlds fair. Missouri, the
host of the nations, is without an ex-
position home, the result of Saturday
nights fire.
State pride inspired the hope that
the Missouri building would stand IN
til every other structure in the Plateau
of States and even in the exposition
proper should have been razed; until
the displays should have been started
on their journeys across the CONT
nent and over the seas; until the rep
resentatives of the nations should have
said farewell and departed. And if it
was in a sense patriotic to wish that
the Missouri building be the last to
disappear, it is not less inspiring to
observe certain edifying incidents of
the fire. There vas ardor for patriot
ism in the cheers which the throng
gave when the bell of the battleship
Missouri was carried from the flames,
unchanged, by the United States ma
rines; in the cheers which greeted the
bearer of the governors flag as he
hurried out Of the building; in the
demonstrations which were made
while the United States and Exposition
flags continued to float in the breeze,

HAS ELEMENT OF MYSTERY
The Death of C. A. Parker, at
Cincinnati Under Investigation.
Several Circumstances Lend Color
to the Idea That Death Wns Not
Due to Natural Causes.

Cincinnati, Nov. 19.-Much mystery
Is attached to the sudden death of C..
A. Parker, second vice-president of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton. Par
ker had been Respondent since the
death of his son, in st. Louis, about
six months ago, and it is stated he had
been more or less worried owe the
rumors of the sale of the road to the
Erie.
His death was said to have been due
to apoplexy, but the coroner has found
no evidence of it, and may order a
post-mortem. A singular fact is that
Parker had removed everything of val
ue from his clothing, evidently just be-
fore death, and locked it up i'll his
private box.
When the pockets were turned out it
IA found that he had but 35 cents and
a pocket knife in them, besides which
there was only one other article OF
value upon his person, a gold ring oa
his finger.
A search of Mr.. Parker's desk dis
closed all his valuables in a private
box. His private papers, memoranda,
watch, pocketbook, keys and money
were all found neatly placed in this
box, where they had been carefully
laid.
Charles Jonas, the elevator man at
the Carew building, who took MI. Par
ker up in his elevator a few moments
before his death, said that he noticed
that Mr.. Parker had no collar on and
that his throat was bandaged. He also
noted that the railroad official seemed
very pale.
