COURT DELIVERS BLOW.
Montana Decision Has Far-Reachine
Effect.

Helena. Mont, Nov. ia special
from Kalispell states that Judge
Erickson in the district court has
interpreted the law passed by the
recent legislature. prohibiting the
establishment of saloons within FIVE
miles of a railroad, logging, sheep, ir.
rigation or other similar camp, to be
applicable to all towns which are not
incorporated.
This will have the effect of reduc.
ing the number OF towns In that
county where liquors can be bought
to two, in Teton county to absolutely
none, and on an average throughout
the state one wet" town in each
county.
AS a result of this decision, saloons
in Somers, a town of 1900 inhabi-
tants. will have to close, despite the
fact that it is a Great Northern ter.
minal. The case will probably be APP
pealed to the supreme court.

YOUNG FlNANclER.
WANTED FRENCH POST
Came to Hartman and Sought lnflu-
ence for Appointment as Arihassa-
dor, Got Promise to Speak 10 Pres
ident Roosevelt but no aecommenr
dation-odeil w ants to Testify.

Now York, Nov 1b.--E. II. Harri
man, chairman of the board of direc
tors Of the Union tactic railroad, for
mer member of the board o, directors
of the Equitable Life Assurance soci-
ely and connected with many rail-
roads and financial institutions, for
mer friend of James Hazen Hyde,
against whom the latter charged acts
of an unfriend.y nature in mis- testi-
mony Tuesday was one of the chief
witnesses before the insurance inves-
| tigators yesterday. His testimony
was a series of denials of Hyde's
charges. Contrary to Hyde's state
ment, Hartman said that Hyde came
to him year ago and asked him to
use his influence to have him appoint
ed ambassador to France. Hartman
said he would speak to President
Roosevelt, when he saw him, but add.
ed that he did not recommend Hyde
for the post.
Upon Hydes testimony relative to
the settlement of the Odel suit being
read to him, Hartman denied that he
had suggested to Hyde any danger OF
repeal of the Mercantile Trust com
pany's charter directly or indirectly,
and stated that Hyde came to him
and asked him to use his influence
with Odeil toward settlement of the
suit,
Hartman explained that he wanted
Hyde's individual signature to the
syndicate agreement of the S50600,0
Union Pacific pool because 10 syndi-
cate wants a corporation as a mem
Der. He justified this because IL was
difficult to guard condolences when
more than one individual represented
the same interest. He denied that
he ever advised Hyde to sell his stock
until after the report of the Frick
committee and said he had offered to
subscribe 100000 TO assist Hyde in re.
tanning his stock.
Hartman said the Frick report
never mentioned the Union Pacific
deal specifically, but Included 1t under
the general statement that Hyde had
committed the society in unwarrant
able transactions without the knowl
edge of the committee Hartman
thought it perfectly proper for the
Equitable to buy Union Pacific stock
under an agreement to hold it for five
years. He did not know that it was
Hyde's personal money in this dea
and Always supposed that 1t was tina
of the Equitable.
The witness also denied that he hat
requested that the executive commit
tee be not informed of this deal ant
when Hyde's testimony on this poin
was read to him, he replied that "ht
did not remember" Hartman sale
that early in the Equitable trouble.
he had defended Hyde from attacks
and had advised him to move the
adoption of the Frick report, tellinl
him that he. would stand by hin
through thick and thin.
Hyde was on the stand early in th'
day. but his evidence lacked the sen
