LSTONES RAISE
HAVOC EAST OF CITY

Parties who were east Of the city
late yesterday afternoon during the
progress of the storm which ragged
there and in town, say that at the
Harrison ranch, near the Marshall
grade, quite a bit of damage was done
by hail 1t is said that out of 12O
window lights which were in the
greenhouse at that place, 100 of them
were demolished by the frozen rain
drops. 1t is claimed, and the skeptical
may believe or not as they please,
that the hailstones We're of the size of
of guinea eggs, or somewhat over half
the size of ordinary hens eggs. The
hail, besides doing damage to the Har-
rison greenhouse, beat down the to-
mato vines and played havoc with
other vegetation. The hail in that
vicinity appears to have had but a
narrow path, as little damage was
done outside of a small belt

thought to be mild case Of appendi-
citis. No immediate danger was sus-
pected and although several friends
of the deceased urged that he be sent

of Lowell, Mass, cut loose when about
500 feet from the earth at the Fourth

was dashed to the ground, meeting
almost instant death in the presence
of 5000 spectators. Corcoran was em-
ployed by Professor Joseph Laroux
of this city, with whom the munich
pal authorities contracted for balloon
ascensions today at the Eastern prom
enade. 1t was arranged that Corcoran
should drop with his parachute from
a height of 5000 feet. when he heard
a certain number of revolver shots
from Laroux on the ground
When Corcoran. not hearing Laroux
shout to him to keep on up, cut loose,
the distance was too short for the
parachute to open properly, and the
man dropped, striking the ground about
1000 feet from where THE ascension
was made.
He was still alive when picked up,
but he had a fractured skull and soon
died.

Secretary Gordon accepted re-elec-

that Professor Frances Squire Potter
may be induced to leave the Uniyer-

to the office of corresponding secretary
at the New York headquarters to be
established, succeeding Miss Gordon,
who will give all her time to the
Louisiana State association.
The question of the next convention
city was left to the general officers
for decision. The candidates were
Sioux Falls, S. d., and Washington,

The general officers had recommend
ed Washington to the convention, but
when their choice was made the finan-
cial inducements offered by the Sioux
Falls business men had not been SUBJ
mitted. In the convention the argu-
ment that to hold the national conven-
tion in Sioux Falls just before election
would swing South Dakota into the
suffrage column was very effective.
The matter did not come to a vote,
however, a motion to refer to the gen.
eral officers prevailing.

CELEBRATE LAGS
IN DESERTED CITY


TIE desultory firing of firecrackers
and the occasional hiss of a rocket
was all that marked the celebration
OF the. nations birthday in Missoula
yesterday. -tenths of the citizens
spent the day in Hamilton, and what
little celebration was held in the city
was due almost wholly to the work
of the juvenile population. The usual
Fourth of July rain kept the few peo-
pie who stayed in town indoors most
of the afternoon, and aside from d
few overnight jags the streets were
as quiet during the day as though it
were rainy Sunday. The fire depart
ment was not called out, and there
were no serious accidents, SO the
Fourth passed practically without
notice, SO far as Missoula was con-
cerned.

Butte Enjoys Reign of Lawlessness Since
Arrival of Race Track Followers in City.
man BOUND AND GAGGED FOUND DEAD IN SHAFT
Unknown Person Is Discovered in Entrance to Old Mine
With Ropes Bound About His BodyCrme Is
Supposed to Have Been Committed by
Followers Of the Racing Game.

Butte, July 5-(SpeciaD.- Butte has
enjoyed d carnival of crime since the
arrival of the race track followers,
and the climax was reached this
evening when the body of man was
found in a shaft near the Half Way
house saloon on South Arizona street.
Evidences of foul play were all too
apparent, for the man had his hands
passed around other parts of his body
as we'll. He was gagged and
wrapped in a quilt. On top of the
guilt a heavy mattress had been
thrown. 1t is probable that his name
is John Redmond, as that is the
name upon a miners union card
which was found in the clothing. An
other card is issued from Belfast,
Ireland, and shows he lived there for
many years, letter being among his
effects from a woman who addresses
him as Dear Son."
This letter is addressed John B.
Jones. An effort is being made to
learn his identity by the coroner and

body was by chance. Some boys
were playing ball in the vacant lots
and the ball dropped into the shaft,
which is 200 feet deep and which is
planked with a platform about IL
feet from it's mouth. The boys fol-
lowed the ball and they We're horri-
fled to see. the head of a dead man
showing above an old mattress. They
ran to the fire station q few blocks
away and notified the boys at the

hurried down to the old shaft. Cap
tain Charles Holden, who is a large
man, tied a rope to Cap Tim Thor
onton's waist and lowered him hand
over hand to the tottering scaffold
which guarded the mouth of the
shaft Another rope was tied about
the body and it was finally brought
to the surface and taken to an un-
dertaking room. There is intense in
dignation about the extent of crime
in Butte following the races, the cir

been brought here. Drastic means

PRESIDENT MAXIM c
NOT THE SOLE
OBJECT
TEACHERS DECLARE THAT PUB.
Lie SCHOOLS HAVE OTHER
DUTIES TO PERFORM.

Denver, July ga preparatory
course to the presidency" is not the
object of the public school system of
the United States, neither should it be,
in the opinion of the leaders of the
National Council of Education, which
spent today in a discussion of condi-
tions that must rule the twentieth CEN
tury. The final session of the coun
Gil, preliminary to the sessions of
the National Educational association,
the first of which was held tonight in
afternoon and twentieth century con-
ditions received much attention. Ed
win G. Cooley, formerly superintendent
of the Chicago public schools, led the
discussion of what American boys need
in the way of education.
"While it is the privilege of Ameri-
can-born boys to become president of
the United States" said Mr.. Cooley,
"it does not follow that it becomes
the duty of the public school system
to fit him for the position. Some of
the boys are going to be laborers, me-
chanics, artists, something besides
president and right now the boy is
being neglected."
James A. Mclean, president of the
University of Idaho, agreed with Mr.
Cooley that in the future boys must
be trained for the positions they will
be called upon to hold in various So
cial or political groups.
The question of school administra-
ton with respect to the scope which
should be given state school executives
occupied most of the afternoon session
of the council. Homer III. Seerley,
president of the Iowa state normal
school, advanced the proposition that
uniformity should exist among the
states in the governments schools and
that much progress will be made in
the future if the superintendent of
education be given wider powers.
This view was. furthered by Edwin
T. F'airchild. superintendent of public
instruction of Kansas, who said that
in the United States there are now
100000 schools managed by 100000
officers. This state of affairs he said,
could best be regulated by the commits
sion plan which, he believed, is COM
ing to be the accepted plan of CEN
tralized government. One other sug-
gestion by Mr.. Fairchild proposed the
of the state superinten-
dent by the board of education with
the power. retained by the directors,
of removal of the superintendent This
he believed would obvate the possi-
biity of an incompetent official hold
ing office. This proposal was also ac-
cepted by Nathan S. Schaeffer, state
superintendent of Pennsylvania.

CRITIClZts JUDGES

Nashville, Tenn. July 5.--In a
public statement today Attorney
General Caldwell, who prosecuted
and convicted the Night Riders at
Union City, Tenn, several months
ago, and whose cases were reversed
by the supreme court last Satur-
day, scored the members of that
tribunal for their decision. Among
the thing General Caldwell says
are:
II may be wrong, but in my
opinion these three judges have
committed judicial blunder such
as has not occurred for hundred
years in Tennessee's jurisprudence.
OF course, | accord them honesty,
but the God of Justice pities their
judgment.
None of those who are in a po-
sition to know can realize the full
meaning Of the decision. Accord
ing to it, I see no way to ever
have a trial of the case again."

\ NOTORIOUS CHARACTER Is GIVEN
THREE DAYS IN WHICH
TO DEPART.
HINT TO SOME OTHERS
Tim Lebeau Is Caught Red n anded
and Consents to Leave the City and
Never Return-Others of His lIk Are
Rounded u, and Informed That
Their Presence Is Not Desirable.

County Attorney Mulroney and the
sheriffs office yesterday took a hand
in the case of Tim Lebeau with the
result that Lebeau has capitulated
and has agreed to leave Missoula,
provided he is not prosecuted. Fur
thermore, he Is not to return to the
city while the present county attor-
ney and sheriff are in office. He was
allowed three days in which to settle
UP his business affairs here--a con-
cession to which he was not entitled,
but which was granted him through
the kindness of the officials. Whenj
the three days are up he is to leave
the city and stay away. If he comes
back he knows what to expect
This very satisfactory state of af-
fairs came about through the investi-
cation of the cruelty to animals ac>
cusation made against Lebeau for
having beaten a horse cruelty. Yes
terday morning Deputy Sheriff Far
rell went to Lebeaus house on East
Spruce street to bring him to the
county attorney for examination.
Farrell received no answer to his
knock, but knowing Lebeau and his
methods walked into the house. He
didn't find then and there any evil
dence In the horse beating case, but
he did find absolute and convincing
evidence in another case, case in
which the officers have been trying
for a long time to get hold of some
thing tangible,
Lebeau was surprised by the Off
GER, in flagrante delicto, and was a
meek subject when Farrell led him
away. At the county attorneys Of
flee he denied the horse beating, but
he could not deny the other and moro
serious charge. Mr.. Mulroney held
all the high cards in the game and
Lebeau was glad to escape prosecu-
ton by entering into the agreement
to leave Missoula and stay away as
long as the present administration is
in sway.
Later in the day the sheriffs office
rounded up five more creatures of the
Lebeau type-fellows who are living
from the earnings of women in the
restricted district--and they were
taken to Jail. Four of them were
able to secure bonds the fifth spent
last night in Jail. There are others
of the same sort, and the word that
they must leave this town is positive
and emphatic. If they go without be-
ing led out, all right. If they want
to be led they will be accommodated.
Lebeau is the boldest offender.

Many Robberies.
There have been a number of rob-
berries and holdups in the alleys al
most since the creation of Butte and
the people who live there are so
foxy that conviction is practical
ly impossible. That young Redmond
was murdered is practically a GER
tainty, as his head was beaten in
and he was submitted to other in
dignities. He had been dead three o.
four days.
Among the other crimes of the last
"a hours are the following: Room of
John Lynch, West Copper street,
entered while the occupant was
asleep and checks aggregating SIS in
cash and all of the clothing in sight
stolen. Mscreants placed giant pow
der against a building in the eastern

greatest globe trotter. The assailant
escaped, but an accomplice may. pos
sibly be under arrest. The oldest

electric company was held up near

IS KILLED
IN DESPERATE ENCOUNTER NEAR
PATlAN, LEADER OF OUT
LAWS is SHOT

Manila, July Elm desperate fight
near Patian, on Jolo island yester-
day, Jikiri, the famous Moro outlaw
chief, was killed and his entire band
exterlninated by detachnents of reg
ulars and constabulary under Cap
tain George L. Byram of the Sixth
United States cavalry, operating in

tack was made, the Moros fighting
desperately in the mouth of the cave

the cave was mined and that some of
the Americans were wounded by the
explosion.

warmly commends Lieutenant Miller
for bravery and gallantry in action.
Captain Byram gave no details as to
the condition of the wounded.
Colonel Hoyt, commanding the
troops in the island of Mindanao, in
whose department the operations
took place. commends Captain Byram
very highly, and i'll report to Major
General William P. Duvall, COM
manding the division of the Philip
pines, stated that this work in ex-
terminating Jikiri and his band was
worthy OF the highest commentator.
