this meeting were to be taken as a

no prediction would be safer than that
the amendment will fail of approval

off almost unnoticed. If the income
tax is 10 be carried in this state its

have quiet ways Of doing things under

campaigns. Ifa majority of the sen

MASS MEETING is HELD IN
GREAT FALLS BY THOSE OP-
POSED TO FOREIGNERS.

Great Falls. April Sat a mass
meeting held in Luthers hall tonight,
apparently of socialistic origin, TO
which union men and business men
We're invited, for the purpose of con-
sidering the matter of Kidding the city
of the Greek element, which is be-
coming established here drastic anti
Greek resolutions We're adopted The
meeting was attended by about 700
persons, and most heated arguments
were INDUCED in. Within the past
six months many Greeks have located
in the city and invested money in bus
mess blocks, restaurants and other
small business enterprises. The fact
that the Greeks would not join the
unions and refused to uphold prices
maintained by other eating houses, it
is said, has caused the unions inter-
ested to instigate a movement against
them.
The resolution provided that a COM
mittee Of six be appointed to confer
with the Greeks and induce them to
leave the city.

Washington April Sit would not
isfactory conditions if the United
States government should take active
steps to end the existing state of af-
fairs in Central America and notify
Nicaragua that henceforth peace must
prevail at all hazards. Moral suasion
with Nicaragua has failed to accom-
plish the objects sought--that of i'm
pressing her with the desire both of
the United States and Mexico that
there be a cessation of the conditions
which keep other Central American
republics constantly guessing. Inter
vention in the Central American af-
fairs has been talked of officially.
American war vessels are retained
in Central American waters, and only
yesterday the cruiser North Dakota
sailed from Magdalena bay for ANA
pala, Honduras. in which some of the
naval activity maintained by Nicara-
que has manifested itself.
An interesting sidelight on the po-
litical situation in Central America
became known today. Some time ago
the dispatches indicated that Nicara-
qua had intentions involving Costa
Rica, which has not been engaged in
any of the embroiglments which have
characterized the history of Central
America. 1t now appears that an
election was about to be held in Costa
Rica at the time. which leads to the
inference that Nicaragua's reported
attitude towards her was but part of
the working out of political plan
which has been associated with the
repored ambition of President Zelaya
to become a dictator of the destines
Central America.
The government has felt particu-
larly annoyed over the mutilation of
Minister Gregory's dispatches. Diplo-
matte communications are held to be
inviolable, and any interference with
them is serious.

SHOWING UGLY TEMPER.

Mombasa, British East Africa, April
S.-According to native reports re-
ceived here, the mullahs of the So
malls, inhabiting the desert country
are showing further signs of unrest
and are massing on the northern boun-
dary of Kenya province.
The restlessness first became evident
six months ago, and there has been
apprehension of trouble in the dry
season, when travel over the trails is
easier. This northern district always
has been a territory to watch closely
When the natives do go out for
trouble they generally veer to the
westward, in the direction of the set
tied districts and the good hunting
grounds. There is today some local
anxiety particularly as a majority of
the precorate groups are at Berbera,
i British Somaliland
1t is said here that the colonial Of
flee in London has issued instructions
to the governor of the protectorate to
surround Mr., Roosevelt on his hunt
ing trips with every possible precau.
ton for his safety.
Sir H. Hesketh- Bell, governor and
commander in chief of Uganda, will
leave Uganda April 2s for England.
Mr. Roosevelt and his party will be
received in Uganda by S. G. Tomkins,
one of the provincial commissioners.
