to arbitration under any circum-

railroads to promote many of the men
who remained in the service. to trans

employ many new men in order to per-
form their duty to the public. to the

ployment those who have left positions
in other brances of the service or in
dismissing without cause the compe-
tent men who have been employed to
fill the other vacancies. Ii is. how

re- employment suggested by your ex-
cellency many of the old switchmen
can be given employment and proba bly,
a large number would be restored to
their old positions. With the growth
of business ii is reasonable to expect
that considerable increase in force will
be required which will enable the Twin
City lines to provide employment in
the aggregate for more men Than were
employed previous to November 80.
The representatives of the Twin City

your excellency's suggestions without
reservation. They have done SO with
the sincere desire of averting any fur

the loss to their employees, which will
result from a continuance of the pres

PRESSING GRATITUDE.

Washington. Dec. 2s-A telegram
from the revolutionary party of Mic
aragua was received today by the
the society for its work i'm relieving
the distress OF soldiers of the govern
ment army captured near Rama and
now quartered in Bluefields. The tel
egram. signed by General Estrada. said
in part:
1T is with profound appreciation
that we Nicaraguans view the charity
and kindness which eharaeterizes your
work for humanity. The message
which brought the shocking news of
the distressing conditions i'm which our
captives arrived in Bieufields could
have but just reached you. ere your d.
rectors had given instructions through
your state department for the issu-
ance of supplies for the substance of
the Zelayan sick and weary.
Nov. by the fortunes of war. I'M
der our care the resources of the rev
olution are sufficient only to provide
for its troops, and the many hundreds
forced upon us by the surrender of
Zelaya's entire army at Recreo would
have placed us in critical position
had 1t not been for your noble action.
Nicaraguans are appreciative and will
not forget your prompt relief and the
fersent prayers of its people in thanks
for your bounty We're offered on
Christmas day in our churches. Rep

No Other Bid.

For your information. Il should be
said that on April 90. when the sec

ment. seem advisable be now made
this appropriation can be made while
the chief object of your assembling is
under consideration.
There are many questions that, in
my Judgment. should receive favor
able legislative attention, and under
the different circumstances l should
not refrain from asking favorable ac-
tion thereon by you. However. you
have agreed to serve without expense
to the state and il does not seem
fair to ask or expect that you consume
more time than sis necessary to prop
erly consider the subject mentioned
in your request for this special ses-
sion
Your offer to serve without COM
pensation is commendable. and II wa
no small factor in the determination
of the question whether. the cxtraor-
binary session should be convened.
The making of an appropriation tn
pay the expense of this session seems
unnecessary. The services, without
expense. of II sufficient number of
competent employees at the capitol Ia
perform any clerical duties required by
you. are rendered by the elective ana
appointivc state offices: your print
ing can be done under the state print
ing contract; and the furnishing
board will supply the necessary jani-
tor service.

III is estimated that there Is 800. 00u.-
900 feet of timber on the lands of
the public building grant. This tim
Der is largely remote from present
market. and it win likely be some
years before any large sales can be
made at s. per 1000. the minimum
price fixed by law at which timber
can be sold. There is no considerable
demand for the agricultural land in
the grant.
You gave the matter of the construc-
ton of the capitol wings your careful
consideration during the regular ses-
sion Al your request you are now
given opportunity for further eonsid-

Japan against the violation of the
Manchurian telegraph convention of
1908. The complaint consisted Of two

SPECIAL SESSION
CALLED TO ORDER


t,oHtlnueu from rage One.)
the plans that have been outlined for
the furthcrancc of fts duty, is sub
mitted herewith. Your approval or
further directions now seem in order.
In my opinion. the board has in every
instance followed the plain provisions
of the law heretofore enacted by YOU.
and further responsibility is now COM
mitted to the Legislative assembly, the
supreme authority. That some of the
materials entering into the construc-
ton of the wings can be produced
elsewhere cheaper than Montana ma
terials of like kind and quality. seems
to be an unquestloned fact. Whether
1t is advisable to pay higher price
for materials produced or manufac-
tured in Montana than that for which
materials of like kind and quality can
be produced elsewhere, and. if so. how
much. you only. in view of the law
now in force. may decide.
l submit that if you deem II ad-
visable to make additional appropria-
ton sufficient to purchase any or all
Montana produced or manufactured
materials that may enter into the con-
struction of the wings. common fair
ness and the exercise of a second BUSH
ness discretion seem to demand that
opportunity be given to any and all
Montana producers or manufacturers
of such materials to submit bids for
furnishing the same
Any producer or manufacturer of
materials who is willing to submit To
fair competition as between all pro-
ducers and manufacturers of like ma
terials in his state. would seem to
be actuated more by selfish reasons
than by the sense of fairness usually
obtaining among business men.

STARTER HOFFMAN
is "BOOED" BY
THE CROWD
Bad Work al Barrier Results i'm
Prolonged Demonstration
of DiSapprOVaI
By J. K. Jefery

Starter Jake Hoffman was in
Nretched form at Emeryviile yester-
day and his shortcomings provoked
an indignant demonstration from race
goers- After the ffth race, in which
he had achieved the third successive
bad start OF the afternoon, Hoffman
was the target for an outburst of
"boos" that exceeded in intensity Of
feeling any previous demonstration Of
the season.
Largely because of Holtman's bad
form at the barrier. the afternoons re-
suits were anything but satisfactory.
His incapacity first manifested itself
in the third race. in which Dareing-
5on and Fore. the second and third
y oices. were eliminated from conten-
ton by the sendoff. Both had been
especially well played.
in the next race. with only FIVE
horses TO get away. hoffman left Bell

wether Lad been heavily backed as the
second choice of the race. The horse
was turned sideways when the starter
sprung the barrier. The poor start Of
the preceding race had been generously
overlooked as something likely TO
happen occasiona lily TO the best of
starters, but the sotely tried patience
of the crowd became thoroughly ex-
hsUsted when Hoffman continued to
exhibit poor form IN the succeeding
races, and the mutterings with which
ihe leaving Of Bellwether was re-
oeived broke forth into a roar of dis
approval when Rubric, a short priced
contender in the fifth, was hopelessly
left and Knight Deck, the second
choice. got OF so poorly as to lose all
chance. 1t was several minutes before
the outbreak subsided.
Righteasy. Westbury and Madman
won as favorites. Righteasy squeezed
IN nose in front of Altamor. West
bury had been the victim Of a poor
start while running as a favOrite the
previous time out. and Hoffman made
Up for his delinquency upon that oc-
easion by letting the horse beat the

tory marked the farewell appearance
Of Charley Ellison's colors in Califor-
MIA The Ellison stable will be shipped
east today. Madman was running for
the first time in the colors Of II. G.
Beowel and showed a sparkling per-
Torrance.
J. II Sheehan's victory at long odds
in the third represented a distinct i'm
provement over his showing the
previous time out as favorite but it is
improbable that he would have won ex-
cept for the unsatisfactory character
Of the start. The same thing applied

Bod Work at Em@ryvile Barrier Causes Upsets
JOCKEYS ARE
SUSPECTED OF
USING BATTERIES

The officials of the New Cali
fornia jockey club have been de-
voting great deal of attention
within the past few days to the
running down of persistent re-
ports that electric batteries have
been employed upon several oc-
casions of late to accelerate the
speed of horses in races at En-
eryville.
The use of a battery consti-
tutes an unpardonable breach of
the rules of racing, and it may
go hard with the offender in the
event of discovery. The latest
report of the kind which the Off
cials investigated was that of
Colonel White, which won Tues
day, after having changed hands
Immediately before his race. A
substantial killing was made on
the horse by his new owners, in
spite of the fact that he had
been showing poor form in his
Immediately previous starts. The
ugly report circulated in connec-
ton with the race could not be
traced to any tangible founda-
ton. Jockey Stuart, who pilots
infrequently and is one of the
lesser lights of the riding bri-
gade, had the mount on Colonel
White.
AS result of their investiga-
tions the officials have learned
that a Berkeley concern has in
vented and is offering for sale a
battery designed especially for
use by jockeys. 1t is so small
and of such design that it may
be easily concealed in the palm
of the hand. Since learning of
the existence of this convenient
invention the jockey club officials
have been particularly alert, but
their vigilance has not been re-
warded by the discovery of any
of the forbidden speed per-
suaders.

markable performance OF mare II
years old and the dam of 8 year old
colt now racing going out to win a
race from barrier to wire in the good
time of 1:o6 Is for FIVE and half
furlongs was the sensational feature
of racing this afternoon at Santa
Anita park Aunt Polly, quoted at as
good as 25 to 1, led her field all the
way in the first race and went under
the wire two lengths in front of Laud-
able, romping at the finish. Aunt
Polly won her previous out, and was
the medium of a killing each time.
The Plaudft handicap was won by
Lady Irma by half length. from the
much improved Colonel Bob. stepping
the six furlongs in 1.12 1-5. Shirley
Rossmore spoiled a big betting coup
by coming from behind to beat Pho
Pico at the wire by a slight margin of
a head.
Mauretania, recently brought south
by Al Dunlap, won the sixth race from
Grace @, the favorite. owing to a
strong finish by Archibald Fern l.
was played into early favoritism. but
ran away before the start and finished
last, burning up thousands of dollars
of public money. Logistilla came from

race from Financier and Sandpiper, the
latter being well backed favorite.

WILLIAMS STAYS
ON TRAIL OF
MURPHY
Refusal to Approve Selection of
Presiding Judge May Cause
M0nfananS to Quit Club

President T. H Williams OF the Pa
cihc jockey club has refused to approve
the Butte jockey clubs tentative selec-
ton of Joseph A. Murphy to be presid-
ing judge OF the Butte summer meeting
scheduled to begin July 3.
Murphy is personally Objectionable to
Williams on account of caustic letter
which he wrote to the president of the
local jockey clsb when the latter
dropped him as an official several years
ago, for which Williams has never for
given him.
Last fall Murphy was scheduled to
succeed Colonel Hamilton as presiding
Judge at Arcadia, but Williams inter
posed a strenuous objection TO the pro-
posed appointment and the manage
ment of the Arcadia track acceded to
his demand that Murphy be turned
down. Murphy is regarded as one OF
the most capable and upright racing
officials on the American turf.
The Pacific jockey club exercises gen
eral control over racing west of the
Rockies and the Butte meeting comes
within the scope of its jurisdiction The
Butte management will be Obliged to
recall its tender of the presiding Judge
ship to Murphy or run the risk of hav-
ing its meeting outlawed. Williams
is supreme in matters of this kind, his
associates in the Pacific jockey club
being content to leave the direction OF
the details of turf government in his
hands.
There has been friction OF late in the
affairs of the Butte jockey club and a
report was in circulation yesterday that
the Montana organization might cut
loose from the Pacific jockey club. II
is represented that a faction of the
Butte association Is inclined to regard
the Pacific jockey club with less respect
than they entertained for it prior to
the passage of the antf-racing legisla-
ton in California.
