Assistant Surgeon Charged
With Conduct Unbecoming a
Gentleman.
MANY ARE IMPLICATED
Rear-Admiral Swift, Recent Com
mander of Navy Yard, and United
States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
Are Mixed Up in the Affair.
[uNIrnp pRnss LEASED wInn.l }

Boston, Mass, Feb. 3.---No matter
what may be the verdict of the Duurt-
martial that is trying Payma.ter
George Percival Auld and Assistant
Surgeon A. H. Robnett, U. S. A On
charges of conduct unbecomi1s a
gentleman" it is apparent today that
out of the scandal that is shaking
naval circles to their very founda-
ton, actual trouble, or at least much
unpleasantness, is likely to arise for
high personages of the navy.
Auld and Robnett were brought to
trial as the result of the physical
attack they are alleged to have made
upon Dr, Edward spencer Cowels, of
Boston, cousin of Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt, and a relative of Admiral
Cowels, at a dance at the home of
Medical Inspector II. e. Ames, of the
Boston navy yard.
Refused to Return Photograph.
The attack was reported to have
been made because Coweis refused
to return to beautiful Miss Dorothy
Hester, of Evanston, ILL.,, one of her
photographs, he is accused of having
appropriated.
Since the convention of the court
martial, before which Auld and Rob-
nett were cited to appear some weeks
after charges had been filed against
them by DR.. Ames, insinuatiOns and
hints of other and more serious mat
ters than little Miss Hester's picture
and its subsequent disappearance
have been going the rounds.
The name of Rear-Admiral Swift,
recently commander of the Boston
navy yard, and of United States Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, have been drawn into the
discussion.
Well to Whitewash.
Intimations that certain naval
men, high in rank, were willing to
'whitewash" the incident at the
Ames dance have been made.
Even the recent breaking off of the
engagement of Miss Madeline Swift,
daughter of the admiral, and one of
the most charming of Boston's young
women. to Harry Duer StoTer, of Al
bany, N. Y, has been connected di-
rectly with at least one of the per-
sons concerned.
So involved has the matter become
that many persons here are becom-
ing involved in the court
DR.. Cowles alleges that he was
knocked down by Auld. He claims
that Dr. Ames preferred charges
against Auld and Robnett, which
were filed with Admiral Swift.
For many days, Cowels declared,
he waited expectnntly for the charges
to be placed in the hands of Secretary
Of the Navy Meyer Mrs. Cowels,
strong in her defense of her hus-
bands part in the affair. says that
Swift took the papers. and
hat nothing was done in the matter.

The roundup record. [volume] (Roundup, Mont.) 1908-1929, 1910-06-10

A delegation consisting Of about
thirty-fve Of the representative busi-
ness men of Roundup went to Lew
istown Monday where a joint con-
ference was held with the CONNER
cial Club Of that city on county
division and that phase Of the
question in particular relating to
the north boundary Of the proposed
new county of Musselshell. The
delegation was most gratuitiously
received by the people Of Lewistown
and the matter in question was dis
cussed in a very friendly manner
from every view point in the rooms
of the Judith Club Monday evening.
The discussion revealed that about
the only point at issue between the
two commercial bodies is that re-
lating to the boundary between
Fergus county on the south and the
proposed county on the north.
The County Division Club had
instructed it's delegation at meet
ing held here before leaving to make
a determined stand for the third
standard parallel from the crest of
the Snowy mountains eastward to
the Musselshell river as the proper
and most practicable dividing line.
While fully admitting the needs of
a new county some Of the Lewis.
town speakers contended that the
boundary should be six miles south
of that line. The discussion cen.
tered about the lines for which each
side contended for.
David Hilger, president of the
Commercial Club, was selected to
preside over the meeting and he
gave both sides an opportunity to
discuss the matter in the fullest and
freest possible manner.
Judge Cheadle was called upon
by Chairman Hilger to welcome the
visitors in behalf of the Lewistown
Commercial Club, and in his ad.
dress he spoke very fayorably in re-
gard to the creation of the new
county and suggested the third
standard parellel as a just dividing
line. He stated that the inconveni-
ence to which the people south of
the Snowies and especially of q city
the size Of Roundup are put because
The roundup record. [volume] (Roundup, Mont.) 1908-1929, 1910-06-10

Of their remoteness from the seat of
government in this county is an ad-
mitted fact. That they have with
in the boundaries of the proposed
county sufficient assessible wealth
to justify them in their contention
for segregation is another matter
of which there can be but one little
discussion. The only matter, there
fore, continued the Judge, is to de-
eide, if possible, upon a boundary
line which shall be just both to
Fergus county and to the people
residing in the new county O
Musselshell.
The arguments in favor of segre-
CATION were very ably presented by
the speakers in the Musselshell
delegation. Dan w. Slayton, of
Lavina, president of the County
Division Club. was the first speaker
for the seceders. In a very clear
and concise manner he showed the
necessity OF the creation of a new
county. The distance to be cover
ed to reach the county seat, and
the best interests of the large popu-
lation on this side of the Snowies,
he said, demanded the seregation

of lower Fergus to form new
county.
Col. E. J. Crull, secretary Of the
County Division Club, was the next
speaker, add he made an eloquent
plea for segregation.
Mr.. Crull was followed by @. w.
Belden, who presented Lewistown's
side OF the controversy. He was
opposed to the formation of any
new counties at this time, giving
as a reason that the new railroads
thru the Flatwillow country would
place Roundup in instant commu-
nication with Lewistown." His
argument was Wait awhile" Mr..
Belden's talk had very little effect
on either the Lewistown people or
the visiting delegation, and was
considered very weak attempt to
discourage county division and an
entirely selfish view of the question.
Jos. L. Asbridge, a member of
the executive committee of the
County Division Club, and an old
time resident of the section which
is endeavoring to become segregat-
ed, put up a sound, practical talk
which carried considerable weight

Large Number Of Fasteners Ar
rive Here Yesterday Morning
to Look Over the Country.

That the movement of prospect
i've settlers from the East is still ON
in no small proportions was shown
by the arrival here yesterday Of
large party of homeseekers all
clamoring for Montana land. Dur
the past month there was somewhat
of a lull in the land business, the
reason for this being that the east
ern farmers were occupied with their
spring work and thus prevented
from making any trips out West to
look around. However, between
now and harvest, there will be a
heavy influx of homeseekers, and
with the excellent conditions pre-
vailing here now it is not out Of the
question to expect that the greater
portion Of these will decide to re-
move to Montana. Crops in Mon
tana are looking very promising,
while it is said that the conditions
in the East and middle West are
not very favorable.
There are about fifty homhseekers
in the city and the real estate men
and locators are busily engaged in
showing them over the country.
Most Of them are being taken out to
the Flatwillow country, and every
automobile and livery rig in the
city is out. A large number Of fill
ings will no doubt be made here
within the next few days before the
local U. S. Commissioners.

with the Lewistown people.
J. M. Parent, member of the
board Of county commissioners, op-
posed county division. his argu.
ment being that this section was
being looked after in the best pos
sible manner, and that we were too
young for self-govrnment anyway.
The fabt that about $1,000 had
been expended on the roads in this
vicinity this spring being sufficient
evidence, he thought, that we were
faring as well as could be expected
under the present regime. Mr..
Parent forgets that the people OF
this section have been paying thou
sands of dollars in taxes for the
past twenty-five years or SO, with
out barely receiving anything in re-
turn.
Geo. n. Griffin, another member
Of the executive committee Of the
County Division Club, was called
upon next by chairman Hilger, and
he made an able and convincing
address. Carl N. Thompson, also
member of the executive COM
mittee, presented the claims of this
section for segregation in a clever
manner. Mayor J. c. Lohman and
r. L. Carroll also made strong
pleas for segregation.
Other speakers were W. A..
Hedges. receiver of the Lewistown
land office, John A. Coleman, ]. M.
Vrooman, editor of the Lewistown
Argus, and Tom Stout, editor Of
the Fergus County Democrat. Their
talks were all favorable to county
division. Mr.. Coleman. who is a
young attorney OF Lewistown, es-
pecially was firmly convinced that
the formation of the new county of
Musselshell was to the best interest
Of all concerned, and he made an
eloquent speech in favor OF it. One
of his strongest arguments was that
the formation of new counties in
the eastern part of the state was the
only way in which the power Of the
corporate interests Of the state could
be broken.

LEWISTOWN FAVORABLE

AV|hA HAS $4,000 f|Rt
SIayton Mercantile Co. S Store Eurns
to Ground Yesterday Morning.
$60,000 Loss.

The entire stock and store build
ing of the Slayton Mercantile Co. at
Lavina was destroyed by fire
early yesterday morning, the loss
being estimated at 100000, one
third Of which is covered by insur-
ance.
The fire was discovered about
three o'clock at which time the
rear Of the building was already en-
veloped in sea Of flames. In an
incredibly short time the entire
building was ablaze and in less
than two hours was reduced to
ashes. AS Lavina has no fire pro-
lection and as there was a high
blowing at the time, efforts to fight
the fire were useless. Attempts to
save some Of the stock were made,
but the progress Of the flames was
50 rapid that only a few suits Of
clothes could be removed from the
burning building. There were three
clerks sleeping on the second floor
who were compelled to jump from
a window to save their lives.
The origin Of the fire is unknown.
The store was lighted by q gasoline
lighting system but it is said that
this was not the cause OF the
fire. 1t started somewhere in the
rear Of the building.
Dan W. Slayton owned the build
ing and was also the principal
stockholder in the Slayton Mercan-
tile Company. Belcher Brothers it
is understood were also interested
in the company. This was the only
store in Lavina, and carried heavy
stock. It is not known at this time
whether the store will be rebuilt.
Nothing definite will be done until
settlement is made with the in.
surance companies.
This is the second fire Lavina has
had the past two months, The
Adams Hotel at that place was
threatened by fire about two months
ago but was saved in the nick of
time.
