A M~lLLiONAlRE'S TROUBLES.

The press dispatches that relate to
the financial troubles of Il. Augustus
Heinze are of more than ordinary in
terest to the people of Montana, among
whom the central figure in the recent
sensational incidents is SO we'll
known. During his residence in this
state Mr.. Ileinze was in the limelight
most of the time, his activity in min
ing operations, in the courts and in
matters political causing his lame to
be familiar among Montana citizens
generally.
When Mr.. Heinze disposed of his
mining interests in Butte for several
million dollars, he was in such afllu.
ent circumstances that his retirement
from active business life was expected
by many; but with the possession Of
such resources came the ambition tC
shine as a Napoleon of finance. His
operations in Wall street stock gam
bling circles were conducted On a
gigantic scale, and for q time APP
peared to be successful. But the
crash came last October. when the
Heinze interests were crowded to the
wall by a combination that was at

Congressman Blame Preaident.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-When the
house Of representatives took action
on the president message yesterday
and sent various sections to commit
tees, a number of speeches were made
dealing with the executives recon-
mend ations. Representative Shep-
pard, Of Texas. made a plea to the
house, asking that action be taken to
have the motto, IL Trust in God,'

motto taken off.
Representative Willett, of New
York, in an impassioned speech, de.
clared that the president must right.
fully stand the blame for all the
trouble Of the country during the
financial crisis. Mr.. Wilt said the
president had gone forth day afte,

that the men at the head Of the grea,

are dishonest and unworthy of the

Better Pay For Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Secretary
Taft is a strong advocate of increased
pay for the army and his annual re-
port, just sem to congress, completely
dispels any doubt that may exist as to
his disposition. The report shows
rapid decrease in the strength of the
regular army in recent years the loss
last year being 4,42S mem and the
pressing need of officers to replace
those now detailed on recruiting duty
and as military instructors in educa'
tional institutions. The secretary de-
clared that many reasons have beer
advanced to explain the difficulty, bu,
sufficient reason is to be found in the
in%adequacy of army pay.

HE|NZE'S MONEY TROUBLES,
Montana Man Arrested On Charges
of Crooked Banking Methods.

NEW YORK. Jan. IF. A. Heinze
was arrested today by a United States
marshal on an Indictment charging
him with having illegally certified a
check on the Mercantile National

the indictment.
The amount of the check which
Heinze is accused of having certified
falsely was S62. 76S. Heinze appeared
in court with counsel aud announced
that bail would be furnished immedi.

gal c%ertifcation of other checks am.
ounting to s400, 900 on or about Octo-
Der IA, according to his counsel, Ed
ward Lauterbach.
Heinze, who has had q remarkable
career as a mining engineer, promo.
ter of various mining companies, and
within the last year or two as a finan.
cier, was president of the Mercantile
bank until October last. 1t has been
reported ever since Heinze's retire.
ment from the Mercantile, that the
federal government was making a
rigid investigation of the affairs OF
that bank and others, with a view to
the prosecution of the persons re.
sponsible for any unlawful act that
might be discovered.
Mr.. Lauterbach, continuing his ex-
PLANTATION of Mr.. Heinze's arrest,
said his client supposed the certifca-
tons were properly entered in the
books of the bank. He declared that
it was merely a matter of kookkeep.
ing which his client supposed had
been properly attended to that day.
1t appears, however, Mr.. Lauterbach
