the efficiency Of the Billings public
schools and the high school especially
has been increased a hundred rold. In

Judge Mann Also Give. Him a Lee

He Could Have Been Drunk-vaos
Break into Jail at last.

Rough House Byrnes," walking
delegate for the cooks and waters
union, and whose real name is r. H,
Decker, was star prisoner in police
court yesterday morning. He was
charged with assault on a boy named
Jimmy WEIGH, who works at the
Northern hotel.
When Decker: saw the stern face Of
the court frowning at him his bravado
forsook him and he pleaded guilty tc
the assault which was. according tc
witnesses, a most brutal affair.
Decker is said to have met WEIGH
in the Vail and Potter saloon where
the trouble started Sunday. Decker
it is asserted, began abusing, the boy
| and the fight ended in another place
when Decker put the boy clean
out for fifteen minutes by a kick on
the jaw, after he had knocked him
through the swinging doors and hall
way across the floor.
This Is an aggravated CASE said
Judge Mann, and except for the fact
that you pleaded guilty I would hand
you a nice long sentence in jail. But
think perhaps this will be lesson
enough for the present, added to the
$40 fine | am going to assess agains,

It must also be borne in mind that most of the glass factories have been closed down for over six months during the past year. so that the high wages then paid have been cut in half by idleness-

SUGAR COMBINE FACES BIG SUIT.
Government Claims 1t Was Defraud.
 ed. of g 10000 in Duty.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1-Suits against the American Sugar Refining Com pany to recover millions of dollars
 of which it is charged the govern ment has been defrauded in the last ten years are to be begun by the United States Department of Justice as soon as the computation of the to- tai amount of the government claim is completed by the treasury officials now engaged in the work. From es- inmates now made by those close in torch with the secret work Cd the customs officials it is declared the total to be claimed will amout to more than s3,000,000. This sum represents the difference between the duty paid by the sugar trust since the passage of the Dingley tariff act and the amount that should have been paid, according to the governments claim, but which is alleged to have been evaded by the use of fraudulent scales on the docks of the refineries.

RESUME. RESUME.

Horace Greeley. with hls homely wisdom advised the hnanciers and politicians who feared to resume spe- eie payments. that the way to re- sume is to resume" Are the finances og today in worse case than when MT. Greeley gave thatsadvice about thirty years ago? Have unsound Republican financial policies and economic here they fear to trust the public with their own money? The constant declara- tion that "the protective tariff is panic proof and the boast of the Re publican National platform that Re publican tariff always produces pros perity, is proved to be but idle talk to catch the votes of those who knew no better, but are now enlightened by financial panic and business depres- sion
 How much longer must the people wait before congress acts to stop the leak and patch up theeold Republican hulk that is rolling without rudder in the financial sea of distress? The boast that the Republican party ''does things" may be of advantage on a campaign banner, but is useless in times like these when confidence in the G. 0. P. is departed and banEs and individuals are 2fraid to tp.st each other and least of al to rust their political servants.
 To tide over the resumptitp 2f cash payments will require the sss.st: 9Hf. of the public and the gre test D. servatism of depositors in witnt ,ew- ing from their deposits. If 2I per ee of the money in the banks is c, :. for, there will be trouble to the b.: ~. and that means loss to the deppos. u Y, Everyone should, therefore, be gy:A~ dent until normal conditions pr,wai.. The business depression that wjd now follow the panic, will make. money more plentiful in month or two. be- cause the business of the country will not require so much money to take care of it and speculation in Wall Street securities and real estate will be at the minimum, for time. While the financial adjustment is takir g place there may be trouble in spo,s, but this can be overcome by economy in spending, and economy in borrow ing and helping the banks to recover their equilibrium. Don't expect any aid from congress, nothing congress is likely to do will give present re- lief, and the country will be lucky if the panic stricken Republican ma iority does anything that will be of gid for the future.

FIRE DEPARTMENT WANTS.

DOUGLAS, Jan. 1.-(Special. )- The fire department at their regu- lar meeting. held last night while ex- pressing the greatest satisfaction and pleasure with what the city has all ready done for them and the progress they have made as an organization, decided that a few more wants Of theirs shall be made known to those in position to fill them. Among these may be mentioned the follow ing:
 They will ask the city to pay for medical or surgical attention rendered necessary through any member being injured in the performance of his duty while at fire or during the progress of a fire.
 They will ask that fremen be sta toned at the theatres of the city while performances are in progress. as is the case in so many cities.
 They win ask that the badge of a fireman be recognized on street cars in going to fires.
 These are at present some of the modest wants of the firemen, paid and volunteer, and those which it is prop CT to lay before the city council will be presented at the forthcoming sess sion Monday night by committee of three.
 The regular meeting of the ffremen last night was we'll attended and in addition to deciding upon the matters ahnvS III07s mentioned c.S:;c5a business of routine nature was transacte6 consisting Of reports and the like.
 The firemen will during the coming year go in rather extensively for so- ciai entertainments, projecting al- ready series of these to be given early in the new year. It Is nroDosed. also. to give something in the lint of amateur theatricals later on.
 The new constitution and by-lR'Rs offhe organization were held over un- til the next meeting.

With simplified spelling, the simple life. the simple cocktail. the simple bear hunts at public expense. the simple deal with Hearst, the simple control of all the railroads and inter state industrial corporations, the simple blackmailing of the trusts, the simple deception of all gullible voters into the belief that indicators of great wealth will be lodged in jail and
 bad trusts be made to bite the dust
 Mir. Roosevelt is certainly a wonder.

 Confidence is gone. and confidence is the basis of all prosperity. So says John D. Rockefeller But. the stand patters say that the tarin Is the basis of all prosperity. oother Republicans claim that the said basis consists of the gold standard and the national bank system. But confidence is surely gone SO far as all these things are con cerned; and that is possibly what MT Rockefeller meant. For. of course. he could not admit that trusts bring either hard times or prosperity or that confidence or lack of confidence in trusts and trust managers afect the country. The trusts are only ir nocent by-standers. as he views it.

THE POWERS THAT BE.

Under our present extraordinary ad- ministration the process of centraliza- tion goes on apace. As everyone knows. the executive departments have nothing to do with congress. ex- cept to draw the money appropriated with regularity and after spending it report what has been done with l.. The president alone has power under the constitution to recommend such measures as he may deem necessary for the public business. But Presi- dent Rooseveit's young mea whom he has made members of his cabinet. seem to imagine that they are the whole shooting match. and that it is not only necessary for them to run their departments. bu. to force on the attention of congress such measures as they desire enacted into law. Thus on December 10th, MT. Garfield. secre- tsry of the interior. introduced into congress no less than thirteen bills. through communications to the senate.
 Possibly these measures may be of the utmost necessity or advantage. but the interior department was creat- ed for carrying out the laws that con gress may see fit to pass, so far as they relate to matters over which that department has supervision and 10 further. When congressman want information from the executive ie- partments upon which to base bill to reform some abuses. they often find it impossible to get the necessary in formation, because forsooth the mat ter does not meet tho appreciation of the young man in charge of affairs. Such is one form of centralization.
