ELECTRICITY.

Helena, March 26.-(Special.)-The
city council of Helena last night de-
cided to invite representatives of all
Montana cities to attend a meeting
here April 10 to join in an applica-
ton for reductions in electric light
ing and power rates to be presented
without delay. The council acted on
a report of a special committee which
reported that rates in Helena for
lighting and power are unreasonably
high; also, the Helena rates are much
higher than at Great Falls, Butte and
other cities where electric power is
supplied from exactly the same
sources"
AS a reason for wishing other cities
to join with Helena in the applica-
ton, the committee stated: Tn view
of the cost of electricity as generated
by water power, your committee be-
lieves that all rates in Montana are
high and that there should be a gen.
eral reduction"

FLuENcE TRADING ON WALL
STREET WAIVERS,

New York, March 26.-Under the
play of opposing influences the stock
market moved in an uncertain way
today, and the session ended with
prices little changed. Foreign mar
kets were strong and there was a de-
cided upward pull on this market
from abroad. On the other hand, do
mestic influence was weakening.
The assumption that the end of the
Balkan war was nearer, found res
ponse in the London market, where
Americans We're marked up considera-
bly,. Although this market did not
respond fully to London. there was a
general advance stimulated by liberal
London buying.
The list did not hold long at the
opening level and there was bear SELL
ing, based on reports of enormous
damage to property. particularly that
of the railroads in the stricken dis
trict. The list was forced well below
yesterdays close. In the late session,
however, the market rallied.
Bonds We're firm.

OMAHA GIVES. DAY
TO BURIAL Of
HER DEAD
1s@sA D1A0
GRIM PROCESSION OF HEARsEs
ACCENTUATES TRAGEDY IN
WRECKED CITY.

Omaha, Neb., March 26.-Fifty-two
funerals silently winding their way to
cemeteries brought home with greater
force to the people of Omaha the full
realization of Sundays experience. All
day long hearses deposited their grim
cargoes of bodies at graves n a
solemn death procession was kept up.
Cabs and hearses that a few hours
before had served as death vehicles
for negroes were, in many cases,
pressed into use by mourners of white
families. Color, creed and nationality
were forgotten. 1t was a general
burial.
There was little ceremony. AS
quickly as one funeral was over, an
other began. Undertakers co-operated
in arranging burials. In several in
stances, where entire families were
killed or where more han one men,
Der of a family awaited burial, one
funeral service was held. Five bodies
of negroes, killed in the 1dleWild pool
hall, were buried at one time by a
fraternal lodge.
The double funeral of Mrs. Rose
Hynes Fitzgerald and Mrs. A. Fl.
Bigelow was held today. Mrs. Bige-
low and Mrs. Fitzgerald were daugh-
ters of Patrick Hynes, n of Omaha's
prominent citizens.
One of the most pitiful of the
funerals was that of Mxs. Mary Rath-
key and two small children, who We're
killed at their home.
Many cases of restitution were re-
ported during the day. Relief work
seemed to slow up. 1t toe much time
to p card indexes of sufferers
wants and to make acquisitions on the
central relief station at the Auditor
ium for supplies. While these formali-
ties were being carried through, want
stalked through disconsolate homes
from m corner of the city to the
other. The ask of caring for those
needing food, clothing, supplies and
money seemed to be too large for the
relief forces.
More people applied for aid today
than on any previous day. There
still remained, however, many cases
Of sensitive pride that prevented suf-
ferers from applying for assistance. It
was reported that % people were
huddled in four rooms in the south
west section without proper heat,
clothing or food.
A young girl who came to the sta
ton at Forty-sixth and .Leavenworth
told of a father 65 years old who has
labored for 40 years and had just
completed payment OF a home, now
in ruins The father would not ask
for aid, but the child did, and it was
forthcoming.
MINI children of Mrs. Mary New
man, a widow, who was killed at her
home, came to the same station.
Neighbors had been taking care of
them, but the task was getting too
great. SO the youngsters appealed to
the bureau. Many similar cases We're
reported.
Patrick McEnro, 95 years old, and
A. c. Boyd We're added to the list
of dead today. At the hospitals it
was said that IN of the injured
had been taken to the homes of rela-
tiVes or friends.

GREAT FALLS MEN
EXPLAIN VOTE
IN HOUSE
DURHAM AND klRSCHWING TELL
PEOPLE OF CASCADE ABOUT
FAlR-REMOvAL BILL,

Great Falls, March 26.-(Special.)-
In Luther hall this evening before
1000 citizens of Cascade county, Jo-
seph kirschWing and Martin Durham,
two legislators from Great Falls, ex-
planned their vote OF the fair-removal
bill and their stand on general legis-
lation. The hall was packed long be-
fore the time announced in the pa
pers, many women being in evidence,
but h general makeup of the crowd
was working men and farmers. A. G.
Satire, secretary of the South Side
Democratic club, called the meeting
to order and explained it's AT
this time he read a letter from J. 4.
Lovelace, member of Thirteenth as
sembly from Park county, and a tele-
floor leader. The letters and tele-
gram set forth the sentiments of the
two men in an admirable answer.
After the reading Of Lovelace's letter
a tremendous round of applause
swept over the house and continued
until the chairman began to read
Crippen's telegram. This caused an
other furry of applause. Satire in
troduced Durham with a few COM
mandatory words and the fighting
1rishman made his speech of redemp-
ton. He said that he had no uni
Versity or college education, but he
did nave a companion to those vir-
tues and thai was manhood.
Accusers Without Manhood.
my accusers have not manhood;
they are driven to their acts like
sheep shouted the Irishman amid
great applause. He explained that
when the house voted to criticize the
citizens of Great Falls, Mr.. Kirsch-
wing and himself had refused to vote
when their vote would have carried
the resolution.
Fair Bill Corrupt.
The fair bill, he said, was the most
corrupt piece of legislation dumped
into the house. 1t was used as a club
over the heads of the Lewis and
Clark delegates as well as Mr.. kirsch.
wing n himself. He said hat Sena-
tor Donlan had caused The bill to be
drawn and introduced. Here Durham
caused the assembly TO break out IN
roars of approval when he said Don
Ian had worn the copper collar for a
generation.
If the bill was not used as a club
to force various legislation why did
not Donlon introduce it in the senate
or house of lords?'" was the question
~propounded by the speaker. Durham
said that when King, who had made
an affidavit that Word of Helena had
asked him to introduce the bill, was
brought before Word and Senator
Stevens he could not tell which one
OF them had offered it to him.
