The final windup Of the crematory
question will likely result tomorrow
after the board of public works and
Health Inspector Genoway view the
works tonight. 1t has been the main
discussion at the city hall today as
the time Is getting close when the
board will get together and take final
action accepting the Decarie plant.
May s, when the 30-day trial run
of the plant was finished, the board,
over the signature of Commissioner
Root, sent letter to the Decarie
company saying everything was
working satisfactorily in all respects
excepting that at times obnoxious
gases escaped from the machine and
until this was remedied the board
could not accept the crematory.
A conversation with Commissioner
Handley this morning elected the In
formation that he was ready to ac-
cept the plant.
There have been complaints made
mostly from the location" he said.

WILSON SAYS PROFITS HAVE
DECREAsED FROM FIVE NIL
LIONS TO A MILLION AND 4
KALr IN F0UR YEARS.

ANACONDA, Mont, May 20.-B, F
Wilson, representing the minority
stockholders and who also is believed
to represent the Rothchilds continues
to make charges against the majority
stockholders who are in control Of the
Anaconda Copper Mining company. He
charges that by an ingenious system Of
bookkeeping 1t has been made to APP
pear that the profits of the Anaconda
company have shrunk from $5,854,l7
in 1900, to 81 Col POI last year, and tina.
the cost of selling the ores increased
during the same period from sl,48l,-
7S9 to 3,207 Isl. In other words, the
figures show that while under the re-
gime of the late Marcus DAILY, the
ore production was less and the cost
of treating it much greater the profits
for the company were almost "a ,000,-
600 more than during the past tive
years, when the mines have been oper-
ated to their utmost capacity and the
price of reducing and treating the ore
has been greatly diminished by the i'm
proved machinery at the new Washoe
smelter at this city.
Among the pertinent questions ask
ed by Mr.. Wilson was one as to wheth,
er missing millions had been expend-
ed by the Amalgamated in Montana
for political purposes and to secure
legislation, or il the books were altered
to dodge taxation in Montana.
Some of Mr.. Wilson's questions were
as follows:

that with an increase in the output of
ore. with the cost of treating and
freight reduced, the profits of the COM
pany have fallen off almost "a ,000, 600

editors-have been summoned to the
publisher, who is gathering words Of
wisdom and suggestions from every
source. And the man over whom this
big talkfest is being held is George
Turner, who Is supposed to be hasten

The great commotion among the
brainy ones il caused by a suggestion

". F TOWNSEND IS DEAD

Judge William F. Townsend died
this morning at $3.50 after long III
ness at his home at 1928 Pacific ave-
nue.. For the past four months he
has been confined to his bed on ac-
count of heart trouble. His death,
while hardly unexpected, was not an
ticipated.
William +. Townsend was born on u
farm in Spencer county, Indiana, Jan
uary 10, ISL. At the time of his death
he was in his tifty-third year. His
schooling was received in the country
and public schools of his native state.
He never attended college. Shortly
after he left scool he took up teaching
for short while, at the same time
studying law. He was admitted to the
bar in Indiana, where he practiced for
