STRIKE MAY CLOSE
MONTANA MINES
Endorsement of Switchmen by
Butte Union Likely to Result
in Extensive Shutdown
Half the Workings in District
Are Already Idle and Much
Suffering Results
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 3.-There is
grave likelihood that all the mines of
the Amalgamated copper company.
Butte coalition and North Butte COM
panies will be closed within a day or
two as a result of an Endorsement of
the switchmen's strike by the Butte
miners union yesterday.
Half the mines of the district had
already been closed and much suffering
has been occasioned in Butte and Great
Falls among people forced out of en-
ployment. The Great Falls unions
sought to bring about resumption of
switching on the Great Northern so
that the smelter and mines might re-
sumo, but the Butte miners union
voted against it.
John d. Ryan, president of the Anal
gamated, who is in Butte. then issued
orders for all mines to close today, ex-
planning that the companies could not
continue operations under the disad-
vatage they had labored for more than
a month. Later the order was sus-
pended at the request of the Great
Falls and Anaconda unions, which are
making another effort to induce the
switchmen to return to work.

MULE DEALER GETS
JUDGMENT FOR $50, 900
Coats Wins Against Partner
and Former Wife

Lee B. Coats, mule and cattle dealer,
who for nearly two years has been in
volved in a labyrinth of litigation with
his two former wives and his partner,
w. J. Bricker, won his first substan-
tiaI victory yesterday in the courts,
Judge Seawell deciding that he was en-
titled to assets of the partnership
worth approximately $4,000.
A further victory for Coats was the
direction by Judge Seawell that the
complaint in Intervention by his first
wife, Ida II. Coats, claiming half of
Coats property. be stricken from the
files. In another department of the
superior court, Mrs. Coats has won
judgment FOR $4,000 against her for
mer husband, and that case is now on
appeal to the district court of appeal
Mrs. Coats charged that live years ago,
20 years after their marriage, Coats
tricked her into allowing him to have
their union annulled by decree of the
superior court of Los Angeles, and that
he made provision for her support. His
second wife,, Eulah Coats. was granted
a divorce and a big property settle
ment little more than a year ago on the
ground of cruelty.

FAULTY SERVICE
MAY END CONTEST
Snllivan'S Failure to Observe
FOrmalities Affects the Fight
Against ConIan's Election
Supervisor Elect Will Also ES-
cape Necessity of Defend
ing His Position

BY the failure of Attorney John j.
Sullivan, unsuccessful candidate for the
office of police Judge, to observe for
maiities required by the law his con-
test against Charles T. Conlan, police
judge elect, probably will end without
securing a recount. The point was
raised by Edward Lande, attorney for
Conlan, when the case was called in
Judge Murasky's court yesterday morn
ing that Conlan had not been personal
ly served with the citation to appear
in court and defend his right to the
office. This was admitted by Sullivan's
attorney, Edward F. Moran, the return
showing that the citation had been left
at Conlan's house. Judge Murasky in
timated that he considered the service
or the citation defective, but deferred
ruling on the point until this morning.
One of the supervisors elect, L. p.
ODowd, will also for the same reason
in all likelihood escape the necessity OF
defending his election against the con-
test of five unsuccessful candidates, the
citation in his case having been left at
his Office. 1t is not known whether any
other supervisors were served In a
similarly defective manner.
The law provides that an official
whose election is contested must be
served personally, or, il he can not be
found, by the leaving of the citation at
his residence. Edward F. Moran, for
Sullivan, argued that either method
was sufficient, but Judge Murasky inti-
mated his belief that unless 1t could be
shown the respondent was not to be
found service by leaving the citation at
his residence was not valid
Moran then asked for and was
granted continuance until 10 o'clock
this morning to enable him to obtain
the testimony of the deputy sheriff who
left the papers at Conlan's residence
to the effect that the judge was not to
be found. Conlan, who was present at
the hearing, cut away this last re-
source, however, by fling an affidavit
stating that he was on the bench every
day and could have been found al any
time.
If the constructive service is decided
by the court TO be insufficient Sullivan's S
contest will be knocked out entirely.
The last day has gone by for the filing
of new contest, and another citation
can not be issued because yesterday
was the last return day, according to
the statute.

CONVICTION OF BURKE

Charge of Illegal Practice of
Law Dismissed

The judgment of the police court
convicting Edmund Burke of practicing
law without a license and sentencing
him to serve 80 days in the county
jail or pay a fine of $3.50 was reversed
by Superior Judge Dunno yesterday
and the case dismissed.
Burke argued his own case skill
fully and Assistant District Attorney
Louis Ward admitted that the record
of the testimony taken in the police
court was not sufficient to warrant
the sustaining of the conviction.
Burke was charged with practicing
as an attorney between May II and
June 10. 1909, but the only evidence that
he practiced in that period, said Ward
was letter head containing the
words, Edmund Burke, federal and in
ternational law, Washington, D. c.; San

Miss Penazzi stated today to a Call

in connection with her engagement TO
Eames, whom she is to marry January
%, the day after his wife will be
awarded her final decree of divorce,
possibly places her in the wrong light
before the public.
L wish it to be known" said Miss
Penazzi, that the separation was of
long standing, and that Mr.. and Mrs.
Eames have not been living together
for long time. Mr.. Eames so informed
me some time ago. While 1 believed
him, 1 wrote Mrs. Eames, stating that
did not like to build my happiness on
the unhappiness of some one else She
replied with a very nice letter, part of
which reads as follows:
Mr.. Eames has told you the truth.
We have not lived together for a Pc
Rod covering many, many years. 1t
is not surprising that he should fall
in love with another and desire to
make this other his true and honored
WIFE, 1 count him fortunate, indeed,

sweet, self-sacrifcing, intelligent and
lovable as l believe you to be-

TARIFF RATES NOT
WORRYING CANADA
Believe Enforcement of Maxi

Loss to United States
Americans in 0ttowa Anxious
for Trade Peace Say Atti-
tude Misunderstood Her.
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 3.-It becomes
more evident each day that Canada
cares very little whether the United
States enforces the maximum tariff
rates after March 81 against Canadian
exports. Americans at Ottawa and
Canadians who want to see trade peace
between. the two countries have come to
the conclusion that the Canadian atti-
tude is not at all understood in the
United States, nor the gravity of the
approaching situation realized Lead
ing Canadian statesmen with whom the
settlement of the tariff policies rest be-
lieve first that the trade of Canada
would not be seriously affected by
tariff war with the United States. and
second, that Canada would in the end
gain profitable results from such an
event. This does not mean that Canada
Is seeking an opportunity to affront the
United States. 1t does mean. however,
that Canadians actually believe dis
examinations will exist against the
United States trade under the new
French treaty; and they do not intend
TO make any overtures to the United
States to avoid punishment for such
Determinations
Canada does not care five cent
piece whether the United States maxi
mum tariff rates are applied to Cana
dian exports or not" said a responsible
official of the Canadian government to-
day.
This is strong language in view of
the present delicate state of tariff rela-
tions, but from Canadian standpoint
1t is apparently justified. If trade
peace comes to sudden end and Presi-
dent Taft permits the maximum rates
to go into effect against Canada Ca
nadians believe the loss of trade and
trade prestige will be far greater to the
United States than it will to Canada
