PARIS, March 16.-Paris is honored by
the presence Of gangs of confidence fell
lows, who devote their attention princi-
pally TO Americans on visit here.
Speaking on the subject to an interviewer,
the American consul general in Paris said
that ever since the 1900 interna tional eXhi-
bition Americans had been victimized by
swindlers in the French capital TO a
greater extent than other foreign visitors
One reason. he believed. was that Ameri-
cans do not care for it to be known that
they have been robbed and. above ALL do
not wish to return from America 10
France to sroear witnesses against the
thieves. The latter, in his opinion, can
escape too easily to London. and he noted
the fact that in a recent important rob-
berry the men were known to have been
in London the following morning. An
other method by which Americans, as
we'll as other foreigners, are frequently
v!ctimized in this.

The Bank hall was completely
filed last Wednesday evening

After evening prayer the Mis-
sionary spoke of the splendid
front the missions in both the
business and religious aspect
presented in all of Northern
Montana. the development of
the Malta mission beng espec :
tally healthy and interesting.
Mr., Christler then dwelt on the
probable development of this
section of the state. particularly
the inevitable growth of Malta
where there are so many advan.
tages open to the designing
hand of man. He then prea ched
on the parable of the Steward,
drawing from it the lessons of
prudence. forethought, clever.
ness and shrewdness.
At the close of the service Mr..
Chrlstler perfected the organ
ization of a Vestry Committee
by calling a special meeting of
the men appointed by Bishop
Brewer of Helena for the more
convenient division of the re.
sponsibility of the work of St.

That the rates for ten ordinary
clas ses OF freight are from 49 to

than in the states to the east
was the statement made by
Chairman Stanton of the rail-
road commission before repre-
sentatives of every conn mercial
body in the state and officials of
all the railroads at a recent
meeting. Reading from a per
,centage table he stated that the
rates to Montana are 1891 per
cent higher than those to South
Dakota points, 81 higher than
North Dakota, 50 3 higher than
Wisconsin. 52.3 higher than
Minnesota and CAS- higher than
Iowa. Nothing of any impor-
tance was accom- plished at the

verifying the difference in
rates, the meeting adjourned.

TRAIN ROBBERS
BREAK JAIL
Great Northern Train Robbers Es-
cape From Lewis and Clarke
County Jail Last Week

The boldest and most success
tul Jail break that has ever been
pulled off in Helena took place
this morning when Charles Nc
Donald and George Frankhauser
charged with baving held up a
Great Northern train at Rondo,
in Flathead county, last Septem.
ber, and securing $4,000, cut
their way out of Jail. Within
thirty minutes after their escape
a posse was in pursuit but no
news of the capture of the men
has been received.
How the men got away is a
mystery to the Jail officers The
cells of both were searched ev
cry day and this was done Friday
During the afternoon of that
day their lawyers were with
them two or three hours and they
had no reason to suspect their
clients had a desperate plan in
view.
The escape was one of the
neatest ever put through a Mon
rana Jail. -Four sets of steel
were sawed through. The men,
who were confined in separate
cells, removed from other pris-
oners. with two empty cells be-
tween them, not only sawed off
the bars of their own cells but
they also sawed a bar in an in
ner corridor, which allowed them
to get TO a window. 1t also was
iron barred, and they sawed one
of the bars and got into the Jail
yard. Once there, it was not a
difficult matter to get over a
fence and into an alley and then
disappear.
Crooked work by someone on
the outside in effectlng the train
robbers release is freely charged
by all the detectives of the coun-
try and the railroad officials.
Judge Hunt has ordered an inn
mediate investigation OF the af'
fair. Officers are securing the
country in the vicinity of Helena
but their efforts appear to be
frultless and great many are
inclined to believe that the tugi
tives are harbored in Helena by
cOnfederateS.

For a change why not print a

be regulated by it's value in the

Rome, May 27.-The agrarian agi-

suit in a conflict of serious char
acter. The question is not one of
wages, but of the right to hold land
as property; at least so it is under
stood by the proprietors, who declare
that they dare not make any conces-
sions in a fight which involves their
very existence. The movement has
already reached formidable dimen-
sions; the number of strikers is said
to be 10000, with the possibility of ex-
tension to other districts, while the
towns people of Parma, manufacture
ers and others, who are making COM
mon cause with the landed proprietors
threaten a lockout should their en-
ployes proclaim general strike in
sympathize with the other party. Both
sides have been preparing for a strug-
gle for some time past, so that 1t is
likely to be obstinate.
