Chicago, July 24.ZPolice Inspecto.
Edward c. Mccain was indicted today
charged with nalfeasance in office,
in thes alleged collection of "protec-
ton" money from illegal West Side
tenderloin residents.
McCann's predicament was fore
sfadoWed yesterday, wehn an indict-
ment was returned against Detective
Sergeant jeremiah Griffin, alleged to
have been the collecting agent work
ing out of McCann's office. Half a
dozen witnesses testified before the
grand jury and stated that Griffin
harvested $4,000 a month, most of
which went to men higher up" Vice
of every sort, including the selling of
cocaine is alleged to have been pro-
tected:
The Indictment against the inspector
contains 10 counts, five charging mall

Ter, otherwise known as Mike the
Pike" Morris Schultz, who is said to
have confessed as to details of the
alleged graft and M. A. Sanchez,
who is charged with the collection of
money on the pretext that he would
secure protection.
Inspector McCann has been with the
police department for a generation,
rising from the ranks to his present
position. He declares that the charges
come from a powerful clique, which
despairing of forcing him to protect
vice, has determined as last re-

lice Schuettler and handed in his
star. Later Schuettler ordered his
formal suspension, saying that no po-
liceman under indictment could work
on the force until the charges were
dismissed.

ARREST or sALoME DANCER
DRASTIC ACTION PROMISED.

/ New York, July 24.--Gertrude Hoff-
man, the dancer, was arraigned in po-
\ lice court today and paroled until next
4 Tuesday, when the court will take ul
4 the question whether or not her per-
Torrance at a local theater is 'inde.
cent, suggestive and immoral, and
! offensive to public decency'' as the
complaint charged.
n The arrest of Miss Hoffman, the
1 Salome dancer marks the beginning OF
campaign against questionable the

head, Commissioner Baker. 1t became
| known today that the order for the
arrest came from Commissioner Baker

says the commissioner, unless certain
performances particularly the dances
now given in the city are decidedly re-
/ formed.
II am going to take drastic action"
said the commissioner today, "and
owners, lessees and managers must
obey the law
Mr.. Baker said that he did not order
Miss Hoffman's arrest until after he
had sent six persons to see her dance
and later saw the dance himself. He
and the others agreed, he said, that
the exhibition was improper.
Court developments today showed
that the charge in the Hoffman case
hangs on the definition of tights"

Police Magistrate Steinert, provided
the young wonlAn wears tights
Miss Hoffman protested that she did
wear tights, but their knee length was
what caused Police critisicm.

PRESENTATlyES OF HAMILTON
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
VISIT MIsSOGLA.
FOR PERMANENT EXHIBIT
Sid Ward and Secretary irwin Hold
Conference With Superintendent
Rapelje in Regard to Leasing of Lots
Belonging to Rairoad-Wish to Build
Home for Organization. #...

Yesterday morning Sid Ward a
member of the executive committee
of the Hamilton Chamber of Com
mere and w. G. Irwin secretary of the
organization, came to Missoula, maxi
ing the trip in Mr. Wards automobile.
The two Bitter Root boosters made the
trip for the special purpose of hold
ing conference with Superintendent
Rapelje of the Rocky Mountain di-
vision, to discuss with him a matter
of great Importance to the Apple town
and its new chamber of commerce.
Between the Northern Pacific's depot
there and the Hamilton hotel are
two lots, the property of the railroad.
These lots are vacant, but it has been
promised by the corporation that owns
them that they shall be converted into
a park. Yesterdays conference
brought out a proposition from Ham
ilton to the railroad, whereby the city
will undertake to park the lots, pro-
viding a lease is granted by the
Northern Pacific.
Plan New Building.
1t is the plan of the chamber Of
commerce to put up building on
the two lots, to erect a structure that
shall serve as a permanent home for
the organization and shall contain an
exhibit Of the Bitter Root valley, its
products and its resources. Mr.
Rapleje received the delegation of yes
3terday very graciously and it is con-
sidered probable that the lease will be
granted, although nothing official has
as yet been announced and it is nee
essary to take the matter up with
higher officials of the road.
i 1t is probable that the building will
be a rather imposing structure, stand
ing at the gate to Hamilton's busi-
ness district, and built to last. It
will, according to the tentative plans
of the business mems organization,
have 20-foot front and will be 60
feet in length In it will be found
the headquarters of the chamber of
commerce and an elaborate exhibit.
A bright young man from the east
one who has been in the west long
enough to catch it's spirit and it's
push, is Mr. Irwin, the newly appoint
ed secretary of the Hamilton Chamber
of Commerce. He came to Montana
from Chicago, where he had been in
business, lured by reports sent back
by relative who had located in the
valley. He brings to his new position
wealth of experience in practical
business and he has already shown
that his brain is filled with good
ideas. He is a young man, but not too
young; is married and likes the west
Montana, the Bitter Root and Ham
ilton. He should become one of the
best of the many who boost the valley
and Montana.
Mr. Irwin and Mr.. Ward will re-
turn to Hamilton this afternoon.

{. N. &P. s. ABSORBS
. CHARGES FOR
SWITCHING
SWEEPING INNOVATION IN TRAF-
FIc-RELATEs TO GRAIN AT
COAST POINTS.

Tacoma, July 24.-One of the most
sweeping innovations in the northwest
railroad traffic will be the absorption
hereafter of all switching charges on
grain at Tacoma and Seattle termi-
nails. 1t was announced today by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railroad that it would deliver grain at
any dock or mill on any railroad in
either city free of switching charges
collected by other roads. The effect of
the ruling will be an increase of APP
proximately one cent per bushel in
the price paid growers by Tacoma and
Seattle exporters. 1t is believed that
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern will take like action.
