WILL GET START
TODAY
JURY TO TRY LIBEL CASE PROB.
ABLY WILL BE OBTAINED
BEFORE NIGHT.

Marquette, Mich May 25.-At 2
o'clock tomorrow afternoon the scales
of justice will be weighted in the cir
cult court of Marquette county with
the editorial assertion of Publisher
George A. NeWett that Roosevelt gets
drunk and that not infrequently" on
one side, and with the latter's declar-
alton on the other side that the charge
is untrue and libelous and the proper
basis for punitive damages in the sum
of $4,000.
Judge Richard j. Flanagan of Nor
way, Mich. arrived here today and
confirmed the prevailing impression
that motions of calendar could be dis
posed of in the forenoon, leaving the
afternoon clear for starting the task
of obtaining a jury. Judge Flanna-
gan was of the opinion that, as only
four challenges are allowed each side
the ~ men might be sworn in before
night. The judge said that as women
seldom attend court he was deter
mined they should have fair show
at the present trial. He has reserved
half of the main floor seats and the
entire balcony for them.
The Roosevelt party, including law
yers and several witnesses, is ex-
pected to arrive at o'clock tomor-
row morning. Colonel Roosevelt will
be the guest of George Shiras. a natur
alist, whose hobby of photographine

pathy with the former president
Colonel Roosevelt will he the first
witness put on the stand. Judging by
his statements, the plaintiff, it is ex-
pected, will call for all the evidence in
the hands of the defense. This will
open the way for the introduction oi
all the mass of evidence gathered by
the PLAINTIFF.

CITY FACE TO FACE
WITH IMPORTANT
PROBLEM
1FOREST SERVICE is TO ASK HOW
4 MlsSoULA FEELS ABOUT CON-
SERVING WATER SUPPLY.

What is to he the policy of the city
of Missonla regarding the conserva-
tion and protection of the source of
its water supply?
This is Il question which District
Forester +. A. SilcoX proposes to put
to the members nf the city council at
their meeting Wednesday morning. He
desires to know exactly how the city
considers this matter, if it has been
considered, because the time has come
when the administration of the tim
Der and land of the watershed at the
head of the Rattlesnake valley must
be considered and carried out along
one of two well-defined plans. If the
city desires this watershed thoroughly
protected and believes that to insure
a lasting and pure supply of water
the land about the headWaters of the
Rattlesnake and its tributaries should
not be occupied, the forest service will
undoubtedly refuse admission there to
either stock or settlers. IT, on the
other hand, the city feels that it is
not concerned in the careful protec-
tion OF the timber growth and that the
presence of stock and human habita-
tions on the slopes that drain into the
streams are not liable to contamnate
the supply, the forest service will
probably be more liberal in its use of
permits and in the granting of appli-
cations to settlers. The question is
one that has not been Sprung" on
the city before only as regards the
danger to the water from the few
ranches, one or two being dairy farms
that are now situated above the in
take of the pipe line that brings the
water to the storage reservoir. That
these ranches are dangerous has been
stated by health officers on numerous
occasions and they have been care
fully watched. But the forest service
taking it's cue from the experiences
of cities in all sections of the United
States, has adopted a policy to CO.
operate with each municipality in the
protection of it's water supply. 1t be-
lieves that even one herd of stock, one
ranch home or the existence of any
source of offal that finds drainage

SLAUGHTER
WAS THE RESULT
OF A PLOT
RELEASED ITALIAN WORkMEN
CARRIED TALE uNpEREsTi.
MATING ARAB FORCES.

Chiasso, Switzerland May 25.-The
strict censorship which the Italian
| government has imposed on all news
| relating to the state Of affairs in
Tripoli and particularly with regard to
the Italian defeat at Sida Garba on
May 16, has made it difficult to OBJ
tain exact information on the recent
reverses in that territory. 1t has
been learned, however, that the dis
aster at Sida Garba was due to a WELL
laid plan of the Arabs.
An Italian workman named Machia-
velli, who had been taken prisoner by
the Arabs, was allowed to escape after
being carefully primed with false in
formation, which he carried to General
Ganbretti. Instead of waiting to
carry out a scheme of cooperation
with General Tassoni, who was on his
way from BenghaZi with a strong
force. General Ganbretti, on the
strength of the workmans report that
the number of the enemy was small,
decided to attack alone Accordingly,
he divided his 5000 men in three COL
umns, supported only by four guns
and battery of howitzers. After the
first flush of victory the Italian SOL
diers were resting, when suddenly each
column was set upon from front and
rear and cut off from the others. At
the same time, they We're subjected to
a heavy shell fire.
The Italians showed admiral BILE cour-
age and endurance. Some of the
companies lost all their officers. One
advance lptachment lost Sf ont of Az
men. Colonel Magdalena was shot as
he lay dying, writing a report prais-
ing his men and recommending them
for promotion.
General Ganbretti on his return to
Derna said: 1T was the bloodiest
day of the whole Italo- Turko war"
The Italian losses are estimated at
1000.

WILLIAM G. REDFIELD SAYS
MONEY! PAID TO LABOR DOES
NOT AFFECT PRICES.
EFFICIENCY IS REMEDY
Cost Of Production May Often Be
Lowered by Finding New Uses for
Neglected Powsr-Industries Best
Able to Meet Foreign Competition
Are Those Paying Highest Wages.

New York. May 25.-The rate OF
wages is not the controlling factor in
the cost Of production and there are
many manufacturers who should en-
ploy more efficient methods before
attempting to reduce wages on ac-
count Of the proposed reductions in
the tariff.
This was the statement made by
William o. Redfield, secretary Of com
nerce, at a dinner given in honor of
Secretary of War Garrison by the
Hudson County Bar association
'The cost of labor is in many in
dustries but a minor part of the total
cost and rarely the controlling element
there" Mr.. Redfield said "fhe diff
ference in wages between America
and Europe often, therefore, affects
but small part of the total cost of
manufacture and is itself so modified
by many other conditions affecting
cost as to have small value as basis
for argument. The chief controlling
factor in production is the rate and
quality of output. Differences in cost
may have no relation to labor.
"'The industries in our country which
meet foreign competition best are those
which pay the highest rate Of wages,
such as machinery, steel and shoe in
dustries. The industries in America
which profess the least ability to meet
foreign competition are those which
pay the lowest wages among us, such
as the textile manufacturers.
1T is frequently true that the in
dustries with the highest protective
tariff pay the lowest wages (Wool and
cotton). while those with the smallest
tariff protection lshoes) pay higher
and sometimes the highest wages. The
products of American factories are
often as cheap or cheaper in the labor
cost per unit than are foreign ones.
MANY of us are not using to their
full the productive powers we control.
The men and women in. our factories
are endowed with reason, interest,
judgment, energy, imagination, atten-
tion and memory. Has a deliberate
effort been made to try what the re-
sponsive force of these powers is to
patient and inspiring leadership? Has
it not been rather true that men have
been considered kind of producing
merchandise to be hired at the low
est rate at which poverty would force
them to work, rather than at such a
rate as would inspire their highest
productiveness? Is not the whole
outlook upon wages as an expense a
distortion of the greater truth that
they should be remunerative invest
ment? Has not the man been taken
at his mathematical value rather than
at his human one?
"The democratic party says: Look
into your own methods; search and
see If they are right, and, before you
touch the income of the poor, make
doubly sure that nothing in manage
ment or methods or equipment or at
rangement is left undone toward your
best efficiency

ASHES Of THE POET
GIVEN TO FLAMES
BY FRIENDS
PRETTY CEREMONIES MARK THE
LAST RITES IN CONNECTION
WITH JOAQUIN MILLER.

Oakland, May 25.-The ashes of the
late Joaquin Miller Poet of the Sier
ras," were scattered today among the
flames of IA funeral pyre that had been
built by the poets own hands. The
ceremony was at the Miller home, The
Nights, situated in the picturesque
hills near Oakland. The Bohemian
club of San Francisco was in charge
of the rites, which We're witnessed by
more than 500 people, including the
poets widow and daughter Juanita,
and many old time friends.
The services were short but impress
sive, in accordance with Miller's dying
wishes, AT their conclusion, Colonel
John p. Irish of Oakland, mounted the
steps of the pyre.
This" said Colonel Irish rs not
an occasion for mourning, but for re-
ioicing. We are here not to mourn
the death Of Joaquin Miller, but to
rejoice that through his genius he
still lives"
Colonel Irish then applied torch to
oil soaked faggots on the pyre. AS
the flames shot lip, he took the cop
per urn in which the poets ashes had
been sealed and gave them to the fire.
Instantly a jealous wind whipped the
ashes from the flames and bore them
away.

hemian club sang, Good bye" a poem
Of Miller set to music by Wallace A.

president of the Bohemian club. He
recited that Miller had asked the club
to take charge of his remains and

the request SO far as 1t was able.
