Washington, April 2S.-Thc war de.
partment is investigating the extent,
20 which the sale of discarded ftc
arms by concerns dealing IN war
relics and firearms is being carried
on in large lots at auction.
The government has been informed
that reyolutionists in Central Amer.
ca, South America and other foreign
countries have obtained old rifles nsel
in the Spanish-American war, which
have been the cause of no end OF
trouble.
The rifles discarded by EuroJern
governments are also often obtained
and sold IN large quantities.
Chicago police are complaining too,
that guns are sold indiscriminltcly
for little or nothing, and If such prac-

ADDITIONAL FUNDS
FOR MISSOULA
BUILDING
Special to The Daily Missoulian

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 2O.-The
senate committee on public build
ings today reported favorably Dix
on's bill, appropriating $4,000 ex-
ira for the federal building at Mis-
soula. This will permit the erection
of three-story building, which win
afford the additional room neces~
sary for the offices Of Forestry dis
trict No. /.
1t is stated that this added story
will not seriously delay the prep
aration Of the plans for Missoula's
new building, but that this part Of
the work will be pushed forward as
fast as the facilities Of the depart
ment will permit. It Is regarded
as probable that the bill will be in
cluded in the business to be con-
cluded at this session, although
there is great amount of business
that is being pressed for consider
alton and the time is short. The
only radical change that the added
cost will make in the arrangem ment
Of the building will be the construc-
tion Of one story more than was at
first expected. The demands Of
the forestry district for room in the
federal building have made neces-
sary this extra room and there has
been little opposition to the meas
ure since its purpose has been un-
derstood.

Deep Concern.

Washington, Jan. 20.-WhiIe such
assurances as have come from rep
resentative Pacific coast men regard
ing the improbability Of any legisla-
tion in California adverse to the Japa-
nese have undoubtedly done much to
relieve the apprehension that exists
in administrative circles, it is a fact
that deepest concern exists as to the
future. Nothing that has happened re-
Gently In congress or elsewhere has
so absorbed the attention of the pres
ident and of Secretary Root as the
threatened Japanese legislation in CAL
ifornia. 1t was impossible for the
president in his letter to Governor Gill
lette to tell all of the reasons that in
fluenced him to making his unpre-
cedented protest against such action
by the California Legislature.
There are factors which, for diplo-
matte reasons, could not be mentioned
in a letter which was sure to be pub
lished, but which are we'll known to
the members of the senate and house
committee on foreign affairs and which
doubtless influenced conservative Pa
cific coast men in congress in depre-
eating such action as was proposed.

ANT|-JAP MEASURES
TEMPORARILY
SHELVED
CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY VOTES
TO DEFER CONSIDERATION
FOR ONE WEEK.

Sacramento. Cal, Jan. 20.--Consider-
alton of the bills denying Japanese the
right to own land or to be directors
of corporations was delayed for one
week by the assembly this morning
upon the request of President Roose-
welt and Governor Gillette. When these
matters came up on special order,
Preston of Mendocino county offered
a resolution requiring the president to
furnish the legislature with all docu-
ments and data in possession of the
federal authorities bearing upon the
Japanese situation. This was declared
to be out of order. Then Mr.. Drew
moved that the bill denying Japanese
the right to own land be made a spe-
cial order for a week from today.
Grove l.. Johnson, author OF the di-
rectors bill, opposed postponement in
am impassioned speech, declaring that
the request of the president for delay
meant nothing to the legislature, as
the governor had not seen fit to trans
NIT to the assembly a special message
and no such request was before the
mousse he Sdlu tHdt the Japanese were
increasing in numbers instead of de-
creasing as stated by President Roose-
Welt and there was urgent demand all
over the state for action at once.
Drew, who introduced the land bill,
said that he was as anxious as any
to have action on the bill, but he fav-
ored delay of one week. On roll call
the motion was carried, 43 to "a. John
sons bill was then put over, without
roll call to the same date. The AS
sembly disposed of the controversy
over the anti-race track bills, re- refer
ring them to committee by voting
down a motion to reconsider the vote
of yesterday.
Butler offered an amendment to the
Walker Otis measure, Incorporating in
it Martinelli's poolroom bill already
introduced in both houses. He stated
his belief that under the Otis bill
prosecutions would be impossible be-
cause pools are sold frequently on
races run in foreign countries or 9TH
er states and it would be difficult to
get witnesses as to the actual running
OF races.

FEDERAL ACTION IN PANAMA
CANAL SCANDAL MATTER
CAUSES DISCUSSION.

New York, Jan. 20.-Speculation as
to what action District Attorney Je-
rome has decided to take in connec-
tion with the libel proceedings insti-
tuted by the federal authorities
against the New York World was in
no way lessened today by the ad-
mission by that official that he had
decided to present the matter to a spe-
cial grand jury. Among lawyers, who
had given particular attention to
United States law, there is a grow
ing belief that prosecution Of the in
dividuals responsible for the publica-
tion of the alleged libelous matter is
to be based upon an ancient section of
the federal statutes which empowers
the federal authorities to proceed in
criminal prosecutions under state
laws where the alleged overt act has
been committed on land ceded by the
state to the United States for use as
federal reservation. In this in
stance, it is understood, the overt act
charged would be the mailing of
copies of the World containing the al
legged libel to government reserva-
ton, such as Governors island or
West Point. The summoning Of two
of the Worlds mailing room clerks
before the federal grand jury yester-
day would seem to lend color to this
view.

MR.. TAFT ADDRESSES
SOUTHERNERS
PREs!DENT-ELECT is GUEST OF
HONOR AT BRILLIANT GEOR.
GlA BANQUET.

Augusta, Ga, Jan. 20.-Richmond
county, Ca, today modestly pro-
claimed William H. Taft as it's own
that he was a resident of Augusta
when the presidential electors in the
various states declared him to be the
president-elect; that as such he was
a Georgian by birth and had lived
where he was born all of his presi-
Dental life.
Thousands Of Augustans clinched
this claim with a Shout of approval,
as Major ]. c. Black said many other
complimentary things about Mr.. Taft
in presenting him to the great mass
meeting that had assembled around
the same stand from which President
Mckinley spoke.
A banquet was held tonight at THE
Terrace" where were brought to-
gether the distinguished men Of
Georgia and South Carolina. In his
speech at the mass meeting Mr.. Taft
said
Il have had the pleasure of meet
ing your farmers and your capitalists,
your ministers and your laymen, your
lawyers and your clients. and l like
them all. I have been barbecued,
have fished-not catching any-I
have automobiled, I have ridden,
have played golf. 1 have met your
beautiful women, have enjoyed the
sparkle Of the wit and humor and
genius of your bright men and re-
joice again that fate and good judg-
ment brought me to Augusta
Mr.. Taft spoke of the oriental trade
of this country and the great inter-
est of the south in that matter be-
cause of he cotton commerce
The banquet tonight was attended
by more than 200 men, the guests of
the Augusta Chamber of Commerce,
and included John D. Rockefeller and
Governor Ansel of South Carolina.
Mr.. Taft in a speech again voiced
his good feeling for the south.

SCISSORS, who are in session here, got
down to business today, with ]. A.
Shaw of Powell county acting as chair
man and N. P. Kroone of Missoula as
secretary. Every county is repre-
sented except Teton, Chouteau and
Madison.
The committee on logs, lumber and
timber made d report recommending
how that property be assessed, but
the report was re-referred. 1t is to
the effect that all lands capable Of
producing 1,250,000 feet of lumber are
to be first class and assessed at 50
per acre; that lands producing from
100000 to 1,25O000 feet be second
class and assessed at $6 and lands pro-
ducing from 100000 to 100000 feet be
third class and be assessed at SO per
acre. Charles Schwartz. representing
the Big Blackfoot Milling company,
wanted a fourth class, and also a
distinction between first class and Sec.
ond class lands, based on their dis
tance from streams, but the associa-
ton declined to amend the report of
the committee.
The committee on merchandise and
banks submitted a report, which was
adopted. 1t recommended that banks
be assessed on the capital stock,
surplus and undivided profits, less
real estate as carried by the banks,
the net amount to be assessed to the
stockholders, the real estate to be
re assessed to the bank corporation as
other real estate Of same character;
private banks, brokers or copartner-
ships in private banks to be assessed
according to section 1886 of the
codes; merchandise to be assessed as
all other personal property, taking
into account depreciation, location
and business based on last inventory,
If taken, If not by sworn statement.
The committee on mines recon-
mended that great care be exercised
in ascertaining the cost of machin-
cry, reduction works, and other per-
sonal property connected with mines,
and that assessors require sworn
statements as to net proceeds.
Tomorrow the committee on live
stock will report.

san Francisco, Jan. 20.--It is still

that there is practically no snow in

effect on the river.
The down-river islands are reported
safe. The danger point has passed
and the Sacramento river is falling.
All of the levees stood the test.
From the San Joaquin valley comes
the report that the Venice island
levees went out and that the island is
flooded.
Railroad traffic will be resumed on
the regular schedules by tomorrow.
The break in the roadbed Of the
Southern Pacific between this city

RESTAURANT ROBBED
AND THE COOK
KILLED
MYSTERY SURROUNDS EARLY
MORNING TRAGEDY IN CAFE
AT PLAINS, MONT.
Special to The Daily Missoulian.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Plains, Jan. 20.-Mystery surrounds
the death of ]. A. Halliday, cook
at the Headquarters restaurant, who
was found in the place this morning
with two bullet wounds in the back
Of his head He was unconscious. but
still alive when discovered lying in a
pool of blood near the empty cash
register, and, after lingering in a
comatose state all day, died early this
evening. Indications lead the authori-
ties to believe that Halliday was shot
by a man or men who first robbed
the register Tom Gardner and Joe
Nesler, known as Indian Joe," have
been arrested on suspicion.
Halliday was on duty alone in the
restaurant last night. Shortly before
o'clock this morning shots were
heard by persons on the street and
an investigation led to the discovery
of the cook lying upon the floor of
the eating place, with blood flowing
freely from two holes in the back of
his head. Near him lay 32-caliber,
long, Colts revolver. Halliday was
unconscious and did not rally suffi-
ciently during the day to tell anything
about the affair.
Investigation by the authorities dis
closed the fact that the cash till had
been looted of about $40. And from
patrons who had eaten In the place
only a short time before the shooting
occurred it was learned that Halli-
day had changed some money for
them, but had had difficulty in doing
so because of lack of change in the
till. This circumstance, coupled with
the fact that the cook is known to
have been out of the house several
times during the night, leads to the
theory that during his absence some
one looted the till, then either re-
turned and shot him or was sur
prised by him upon his return and
shot him to insure escape.
A possibility of suicide was sug-
gested by the fact that Halliday was
seen standing at the counter, near the
register, just before the shooting,
with his head buried in his hands, as
though he were worried or sick. The
presence of the revolver also tended
to support this theory. But an eXami-
nation of the wounds shows that it
would have been almost impossible
for the man to have shot himself the
second time, both on account of the
position of the wounds and their ma
ture.
Strong evidence was discovered
tending to show that Indian Joe"
robbed the cash register, and he and
his companion were Immediately
taken into custody pending the out
come of further Investigations by the
county authorities.
Halliday was about AZ years of age
and was a member in good standing
of the Philipsburg Red Men.
