Drinking Dead Mans Soup
in Montana

Butte, Mont, February For two
weeks half dozen employees of the
Northern Pacific Railway company
have been slipping alcohol from a key
which contained human head, con-
signed to Butte physician for medi-
cal purposes. Several months ago a
ten-gallon key, labeled alcohol" was
lost and in some unknown manner
found its way in dark and obscure
corner of the local freight house,
awaiting Identification as it bore no
address. During the recent cold snap
one of the switching crew stumbled
across the key and noting its label
sampled it. Then he let in others of
the crew on the secret and the key
became very popular.
The physician in the meantime had
employed Chief of Detectives George
Ambrose to institute search and this
officer located the unaddressed key.
Chief Ambrose broke in the top. The
leg still contained one-quarter of the
original amount of alcohol and the
head was still in good state of preser-
walton. Eight switchmen vowed total
abstinence hereafter

Again Arden has received a thrill
and the little coiouv lying seven
miles north Of this city. founded on
the principles of Henry George, the
Single Tax expounder, is on the verge
of being hailed into the courts. This
time. none of the individuals are in
danger of spending time at the work
house, but one colonist like Monte
Beane, who was dispossessed Of his
home last year. is threatened. This
man Emanuel Gerstein, who spends
his summers at Arden, but who re-
sides in Philadelphia during the
winter. has received notice from d.
Haines Albright. attorney for the
trustees of the colony, G. Frank Ste

minated several months ago.
Gerstein is a personal friend Of
George Brown, the Arden anarchist,
and has long been considered one OF
the 'undesirables on the commu-
nifty Gerstein has determined to
fight and eviction, however, and unlike
Mrs. Elsie l.. Beane who guai ed her

and the trustees extends over a
period of several months. In Sep
tember, 1911, the colonists in a town
meeting decided that the rentals for
the year 1912 should remain at the
rate paid TIE preceding year.
This was overruled at meeting
called later and the rentals increased,
and as Gerstein contended this ac-
tion Illegal he sent a check for the
rentals based on the figure set by
the townspeople. This was sent back
by the trustees last summer and
nothing more was heard of the incl
dent until last month when notice
was served on Gerstein that his lease
had expired and would not be is
/ sued TO him.
In speaking of the affair Gerstein
said he intended to light a. eviction
and as he has engaged an attorney
the much mooted question of the land
tenure of Arden will probably be
aired in the courts.
George Brown. the anarchist who
served time at Greenbank for disrupt
ing a town meeting at Arden declares
that he will pay any rentals levied
against him and If Gerstein should
be unable TO live in his home this
summer he could take up a home

MERGING OF
PORTS UP
TO CONGRESS
Salisbury Says He Will Try
to Show That Order is
an Injustice
WILL URGE THAT
CITY BE PROTECTED

United States Senator Willard
Salisbury in an interview today with
a reporter for THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL said that articles printed in the
newspapers referring to the abolition
of the port of Wilmington and con-
solidating it with Philadelphia, would
probably cause a false impression re-
garding the work he is doing concern
ing It,
Mr. Salisbury says the facts in the
case with which he is so far familiar,
are these:
More than year ago an amend
ment to the Sundry Civil bill In Con
gress and passed by Congress author
lied the President to issue an exec
utive order practically wiping out
among other districts the State Of
Delaware as district Of the United
States for the collection of customs
revenues. This was one OF the last
things the President did before going
out of office"
Mr.. Salisbury says he feels that a
great injustice has been done and is
anxious, If possible, to remedy it, but
the situation now is that Congress
must act through both Houses and the
President must approve any change
made.
prior to the executive order Of
President Taft" Mr.. Salisbury said.
1T needed only that the President
should so arrange the districts as to
preserve state lines. Having acted,
the executive order has the force Of
law This law must now be changed
by Congress, and to accomplish this,
the facts must be properly presented
and must be very clear"
Mr.. Salisbury says he is in no
sense prepared to make what might
be termed a fight for II, because the
matter must be presented to Con-
gress and the Federal Executive in
way to convince them that an in
justice he's been done, an injustice
which he considers very grave.
At present Mr.. Salisbury Is famil-
iarizing himself with the facts in the
case with the hope that something
may be dole to remedy what in his
opinion never should have been ac-
complished
whether anything can be done at
all" he said, depends upon the at
titude Congress takes in tn, first
place. and what the Judgment OF the
President will be when the whole
matter can be properly presented to
him"
