LEGISLATION DEFECTIVE.
Montana's Attorney General Finds
School Funds Poorly Invested.

HELENA, Mont, Oct. 17.-Montana
is confronted with a special session OF
the legislature to correct glazing de-
feet discovered by Attorney General
Galen in the investment of state school
funds in the hands Of several educa-
tional institutions amounting to sew
several hundred thousand doll
lars. He holds that 1t is Vi
olative of the constitution OF
the state to invest moneys derived
from state lands given to the state by
the general government for education
al purposes. In other words, only In
come or earnings should be invested.
There is no little dismay at the state
house over the decision.
The supreme court will be asked to
pass upon the question, and If it up
holds tn attorney general the legisla-
ture will probably have to be called to-
gether to pass remedial legislation.

WILL LOSE THE LEGACY.
Neces and Nephews Forfeit Stated

DENVER, Col, Oct. 17.-Harmon j.
Rood Of Brookgeld, VT, died May I at
Muskogee, I. T. Miss M. Gertrude La
velle Of Denver adopted daughter of
the deceased, knowing nothing of any
will, and believing she was entitled to
the estate, took charge of it. Recent
1y two wills were discovered in an old
dictionary and she relinquished the
property.
The last will will be probated here
Dec. II.
The estate is valued at $4,000. BY
the terms of the latest will Rood
leaves $3.50 each to Sarah Rugg Of Sa-
lem Willows, Mass, and Nellie Gleas-
on of Gloucester, Mass, provided they
first save $3.50 Of their own.
Two nephews are given $500 each,
but they also must save and lay aside
a like amount before the terms of the
will are carried out.
He especially makes the conditions
that if either his nieces or his nepn-
ews use coffee they will lose $3.50.
If they use liquor or tobacco they
will lose $500 each, and If they so for
get themselves as to become addicted
to "cuss" words, they forfeit the en-
tire amount.
In this case the money reverts to
the Vermont Domestic Missionary So
ciety which organization will receive
whatever remains after the provisions
of the will are observed.
Lucius Blodgett of Vermont has
been appointed executor of the will,
and lawyers think he will have his
hands full seeing that the wishes @
the eccentric Vermonter are carried
out to the letter.

COUNCIL HAS kNOTTY PROBLEM
IN DEALING WITH THE
FALLEN WOMEN.
Objections Raised to Forcing Them tc
Leave Rose Street and Scatter
About City.

One of the important subjects that
will probably be taken up by the city
council tonight will be the enforce
ment of the ordinance that was passed
six months ago compelling all inmates
Of houses Of Ill fame, to occupy the
second story of some building. As or
originally planned it was the purpose
to try to secure q certain place in
Walla Walla where such women could
be quartered. That place has not yet
been procured and the councilmen arc
now somewhat undecided how to
proceed. Many Of the business men
Of Walla Walla are opposed to re-
moving the women from their present
quarters. They claim that II the
women are forced to move they will be
scattered all over the city in the upper
stories of the buildings over the stores.
which is not desired.
One merchant in speaking Of the sub
ject today, said: Il believe that there
should be some restrictions placed on
such people, but I question the wis
dom of forcing them to vacate their
present places of abode. To scatter
them about the city would mean that
such places would be in almost every
building in the business district. They
are now in a good place where the po-
lice can have close surveillance over
them. The council should pass an ordi-
nance compelling the women to remain
off the street, to keep the doors and
windows of their houses closed and
also to refrain from soliciting on the
streets. The plan suggested to place
the women in some secluded place near
the edge of the city limits might be all
right provided there was a larger po-
lice force to look after the district.
Unless the district was we'll policed
however, there would be any amount
Of trouble and disturbances occurring
at all hours Of the day and night. Then
again it would place these women near
the residence districts which would
not be tolerated for a moment by the
people who should be so unfortunate
as to live in that locality. I believe
they should be left where they are"
Several of the councilmen have ex-
pressed a determination that some
thing will have to be done with the
women, but none have been able so far
to suggest any feasible plan of rem
edying the present evil.
