BUTTE MAIDEN BREAKS MANY
 HEARTS

BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 17-Dr. Jas T. Jelks, of Hot Springs, Ark, and Miss Belle McKaskie, of Ponev, Mont. have been married here in a romantic manner.
 Miss McKaskie is handsome and at tractive, 21 years of age, and only daughter of William c. McKaskie, a wealthy mine owner. She met Dr. JeIks three years ago at Hot Springs and became engaged. The match was broken off on account of the opposi' tion of the girls parents. Then she became engaged to Adolph Heilbron' ner, assistant manager of Senator Clark's street railroad system in Butte.
 For two weeks she has been visiting in Butte. Jelks appeared on the scene in response to an urgent telegram from Miss McKaskie, and the two were mar ried within an hour, Judge Bourquin being called from the bench during the trial of a case to perform the cere' mony.
 A few moments later Heilbronner heard of the marriage and for three hours the whole city was upset. The actions of the young man justified placing him under restraint. Jelks and his bride kept in hiding until } o'clock, when they left for Hot Springs.
 A young man named Morris, of Vir- ginia, Nevada, prepared last June for wedding Miss McKaskie, but she re- fused him. His mind became unbal- anced necessitating his detention in an asylum.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17-With the end of the morning session today Sen ator Armstrong's committee on in- surance investigation finished a week of service which has not been eclipsed since the investigation was inaugural ed. The witnesses have been most important, including the "big guns" of the financial world as well as in the insurance business. Early in the week Hyde was examined and made charges against Hartman and Odell, who excessively appeared and denied Hyde's statements. and Hyde being recalled, reaffrmed his testimony.
 Depew was heard, and when the ses- sion was opened today it was expect ed that before the day was over Sen ator Platt would be called. He is wanted to testify as to the collection of contributions to political funds by insurance companies, Oden having testified yesterday that Platt collected all the moneys up to last year. It is now expected that the Senator will be heard early next week, possibly on Tuesday, when the sessions will be resumed.
 
 Samuel s. McCurdy, assistant regis ter of the Equitable, not related to the McCurdys of the Mutual Life, said he had charge of the vouchers for legal service. From him was gleaned a story of trouble in California in 1897, when the insurance commission CTS of that state demanded an inves- tigation. Thousands of dollars were spent by the Equitable in this matter, as recounted by McCurdy, and he jus tifed the expenditure on the ground that it would have cost the Equitable about $4O,OO0 had no defense been made, hence the expenditure for eoun- sel. He seemed to think the demands
Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1905-11-22

of the California commissioners were exorbitant.
 Senator Depew was called to give any information he might possess as to a number of vouchers for legal ser vices, but his knowledge of the matter was rather limited, and many of the ex- penditures and signers of these vouch- CTS he had never heard of.
 One voucher to John A. Nichols for legal services was accompanied by a letter to Depew referring to -four friend who comes around once year," and "your rambunctious friend up the river" The Senator said he knew Nichols had been retained at different times by the Equitable, but did not know in what connection. Nichols, he said, was once a quarantine commis- sioner, and used to be active in poli- tics. Gage E. Tarben was on the stand when an adjournment until Tuesday was taken.
 Budd Got Fee.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17-Form- CT Governor Budd said tonight in re- ference to the testimony of McCurdy before the insurance Investigating committee in New York:
 "From the statement made by Me Curdy, the presumption might arise that I had gone to New York while holding the office of governor. I did not go until 1900 or 1901, which was couple of years after my term of office had expired. I went to New York as attorney connected with the investigation of insurance matters"
 Budd said his compensation came from the insurance companies, but re- fused to state what was the amount, but said "the amount was not en- ough." He expressed a willingness to go before the New York insurance investigating committee, if his testi- mony was wanted.

"HERALD' ARTICLE IS
 BRANDED AS FALSE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Judge Andrews was later interviewed by the Journal-Miner editor, and he not only confirmed MT. Stewart s mar ration of the incident, but also stated that the Herald's alleged interview was untrue and that MT. Stewart ex- pressed no opinion whatever to Me. Donald, and above all did not say: "No. there is no danger of getting into any trouble, for Judge Sloan owns some stock in the Journal Miner, and he dare not do anything about it.''
 MT. Stewat formerly took an active part in the affairs of this paper before it passed to the new management, and the animus of the Herald article is ap- parently with the malicious intent of having it appear that the Journal Miner itself was openly defying the court to mete out punishment ip the matter. In other words, to be plain, the Herald falsely puts words into an- other mans mouth intended to convey the covert insinuation contained in these words quoted from its article:
 'It may be possible that the so-called enterprise of the Journal Miner in this instance was actuated by the fact that Judge Sloan owns some stock in said paper and that he could not or would not prosecute the editorial de- partment on that account"
 Not only is this a direct challenge to force Judge Sloan to deal severely in the matter, but the mere suggestion that a jurist of the well known probity and high character of Judge Sloan would be influenced in his judgment or that he would prostitute his high and sacred powers because of owning a few shares of stock in the paper in volved, constitutes a manifest and most fragrant case of contempt of court.
 But one could hardly expect any thing different from a man who has been recently advertising himself in these exact words: "we print the news with out discretion Such a confession as that speaks volumes, and tersely illus trates the adage that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread"
 
 The Journal-Miner deeply deplores the fact that Judge Sloan's name has been dragged into this unfortunate af- fair either through lack of "discre- tion" or through malicious intent. The imputations cast upon his honor in the guise of a fictitious interview created a high degree of indignation among the citizens last evening, who know him to be a man of conscientious scruples, of absolute fairness, and com manding the highest respect through out the territory.

An article-vicious, ill-judged anC dangerous in its insinuations, appeared in the Weekly Herald yesterday re garding the contempt proceedings that have been instituted against the editol of the Journal-Miner relative to the re cent publication of certain proceeding of the grand jury. No notice would be taken of the article were it not fol the fact that comments are made by the Herald and insinuations east upor the integrity and probity of Judge Sloan, that are based upon a purported interview with Frank R. Stewart which the latter declares to be "false and made out of whole cloth.' In the latter's statement as to the facts of the case, he is supported by Judge H. T Andrews, who was present at the alleged interview. MT. Andrews is a man of the highest standing in the com, munity, and his honor and veracity hdNO hCNCI DCCu QutSllOuCu-
 The salient paragraphs of the Herald's $ alleged conversation with Mir Stewart read thus:
 ''Mr. Stewart. do you not fear that your paper might get into trouble by printing such matter when it is against the law to make public the secret find ings of the grand jury?''
 ''No. there is no danger of getting into trouble. for Judge Sloan owns some stock in the Journal Miner. and he would not dare do anything about it.'
 ''Mr. Stewart, do you think that Judge Sloan would refrain from netting out justice because he owned a little stock in country daily paper7"
 ''He owns stock in the paper, I tell you, and would not do anything about it; he would not summons himself to appear.'
 When questioned regarding the matter, Mir. Stewart emphatically ex- claimed: "The words and sentiments attributed to me are positively false, and I brand the interview as a lie. I had no conversation with Mcdonald. other than to say that I had not read the article in the Journal Miner to which he made reference. I was on the opposite side of the street from the Brisley drug store when Judge Andrews beckoned me to come over. I did so, and just as I met him, Mcdonald came up at that moment. He asked me if I read the aticle, and I replied in the negative. Judge Andrews then made a jocular remark, addressed to myself, and replied in the same vein, and he and I then turned away, and walked in the direction of the post office. Judge Andrews, am sure, will substantiate what I have said.''

RUSSIA WORKMENW WISE TO BREAK THE
 STRIKE
Starvation Confronts I Themandthe' Are Losing Faith In
 Their Leaders

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. IS, 1.4 am. Though, according to surface indiea- tiOns yesterday, the outlook for a speedy ending of the strike was gloomy, revelations made. last night at the council of workmen's delegates meet ing showed a large portion of work men breaking loose from the control of the leaders, and anxious to return to work, and the plebescite which will be taken today in various fac tories will probably result in a decision to abandon the strike on Monday.
 At the meeting of the council, which was held in the same hall where Gapon, Gorkhy, and other leaders de- nounced the emperor on the evening of January 22 ("Red Sunday'), dele gate after delegate from different fac tories arose and reported that the workmen, under the influence of the ultimatum issued by the employers, an- nouncing that the factories would be shut down indefinitely unless work was resumed Monday, and with the pleading of their wives and children and of conservative workmen ringing in their ears, were demanding that the strike be ended.
 This preeipitated a hotly contested debate between the Moderates, who de- clared that the strike in the first in stance was a strategical mistake, and that it would be graver error in tao ties to attempt to force the men to! remain in line. One fiery speaker who, in order to be seen and heard, mounted the balcony from which Gapon in disguise delivered his last ad- dress in that hall, thundered his de- nunciation of those who wished to dis continue the struggle.
 "Even if we cannot continue the strike until the purposes for which it is called are attained,' he said, "let us not abandon it without inficting a real blow on the government. Three days strike is mere pin prick in the hides of the crafty fox Witte and his followers, so let us keep it up for a fortnight. Men from other factories in St. Petersburg are daily joining us. Our delegates are closing the pharma- cies and the railroad tie up is com- plete. What figure will we cut in the eyes of our brothers outside St. Peters burg if, before they have had an op- portunity of acting on our appeal, they hear we have laid down our arms.
 After a long discussion the motion to call off the strike was rejected, and it was decided to call meetings of the workmen at the factories today for the purpose of laying the situation before them and abiding by their decision.
 The leaders, however, are determin- ed not to permit the strike to be brok en without a final great demonstration of their power to render St. Peters burg Ca dead city" After the ad-

 Another resolution called for q mands to the effect for the release the four delegates who were arrest} \ It was decided to mass 5000 men front of each prison where the del gates are detained, and hold them the until they are liberated.
 The utterly reckless spirit manifeI ed by the "Reds," who engineered present strike, is producing a natu revulsion of feeling, which is shared l all classes of society. The prosp{ that anarchist and mob rule, which be the logical outcome of the prese situation to demoralize conditions both the country districts and eiti has a sobering influence. The low classes, always on the verge of starr tion, are bitterly angry against the tatOrs who by these continuous stri are taking bread from their mouth

OUR NATIONAL OUTING RESORT.
 It is only a little more than thirty years since the act establish ing the Yellow Stone as national reserve to be maintained by the Government for the pleasure and instruction of the American peo- pie, and now we have there one of the greatest show places of the world. Covering IS much ground as the two States of Rhode Island and Delaware, it's geysers, hot springs. water falls. canyons and snow-capped mountains make up a collection of natural wonders not 10 be found in any equal area in any other part of the world.
 Its hundred and fifty miles of perfectly macadamized roads, kept well sprinkled wherever there is water convenient and punetuated at convenient distances by hotels and camping grounds, are probab- ly travelled this summer by more tourists than in any previous seas on for how many would wish to miss the Yellow Stone while cross. ing to the Pacific to see the Port land Fair?
 It Is the only natural geological garden in the world. for no one is permitted 10 disturb the native an- imals of America which may choose to resort thither.

OUR UNNELCOME PEST.

CT all our time-hoaared pests the mosquito is probably the least welcome To Us here in Missouri he is not whit worse by the fact that elsewhere his cousins transport yellow fever, malaria and other germs when ever they get q chance That fact adds to the general iudicts ment against his character, but does not constitute his chief un- welcomeness. He is bad enough III himself, which Is to say in you. with his simple, uuadorned and unladen stluger.
 Considering the poignaucy Of his stinger. Il IS odd that he was never able 10 make science sit up and take notice, or rub itself so to speak, until the germ was in- iected into the discussion and 1t was discovered that the stinger had poison on 1t.
