Investigation.

Butte, June 19.-Charles H. Meyer,
president of the Western Federation of
Miners. arrived here today from Den
yer, accompanied by James Lord of
Washington, chairman Of the mining
department of the American Fedora
tion of Labor. Meyer said he expected

that OF the Western Federation. Meyer

The executive committee of the in
surgent miners is expected to meet to-
day to plan a future course. the nature
of which is to be disclosed at the
miners meeting Sunday. A letter read
at the meeting last night, alleged to
have been found in the dynamited un-
lon safe, showed that the general sec
retary- treasurer of the Western Fed
Grafton had sent $3.50 here, part of
which was to be given to deputy
sheriff for Expenses" This is under
stood to have influenced many miners
against the Western Federation.

MUST PAY TAXES
ON THE VALUATION
found BY BOARD
Decision in the United
States Court Against the
Idaho Railway, Light &
Power Company.

The Idaho Railway, Light & Power
company must pay its taxes in full
upon the valuation found by the state
board Of equalization at its Recember
meeting, according to decision hand
ed down yesterday by Judge Dietrich
in the case brought by that company
against the county officials of Ada,
Canyon, Owyhee and other counties to
restrain them from selling the property
under the delinquent tax laws, follow
ing the refusal of the company to pay
upon the valuation fixed
Judge Dietrich holds with the state
on all points, bot hthat the state board
of equalization Is not bound to com
plete its work by the fourth Monday In
August, which date is directory in
stead of mandatory and is fixed in be-
half Of the public and not of the tax
payer. and that formal notice of the
subsequent later meeting was not nee
essary to be given to the plaintiff who,
having been represented at the regular
August meeting, should have known
that another meeting would be held In
December.
The state board greatly increased the
valuation of this company at its subse-
quent meeting in December over that
fixed by the regular meeting in August
and the company sought to escape pay
ing taxes upon the valuation fixed In
December but rendered taxes based
upon the August valuation. Judge
Dietrich dismissed the complaint.

stilI Hold to Opposite Views.

Niagara Falls, June 19.-The Ameri-
can and Huerta delegates still hold
firmly to the opposite views expressed
in their public statements regarding
the type of man for the provisional
president of Mexico. Both sides having
gone on record, the prospect today was
that neither would give way and there
would be a complete breakdown OF
mediation. A conference will be held
tomorrow between the mediators and
the two sets of delegates at which 1t
will probably be determined whether
any common ground for agreement re-
mains. The mediators will submit five
names as a last resort but are not OPP
tinnistic. A controversy also developed
between the American and Huerta dele
gates regarding the method of conduct
ing the election for permanent prest-
dent after the provisional Mexican gov
ernment is established.
The American representatives utterly
repudiate any suggestions that the
American president has any intent of
destroying the electoral liberty of
Mexico This was the formal reply by
the American delegates to Senior Ra-
basa's published statement suggesting
that putting the constitutionalists in
control OF the Mexican provisional gov
ernment was "tantamount to abetting
and even exacting fraud at elections"

either when the guns are fired or when
the sea they are riding is disturbed
This defect has been remedied in later
models by placing the turrets and the
great mass of dead weight more nearly
along the center line of the ships.
While there undoubtedly are defects
of Importance in these ships, 1t does
not mean that the Greeks would not be
getting their moneys worth from the
United States. 1t should be borne in
mind that the Mediterranean sea,
where the ships would be used-as an
offset to Turkeys recent display Of
naval activity--is much calmer than
the Atlantic ocean, and the ships really
will be of great use to the Greeks.
Their lack of speed and steaming ra-
dius. which interferes with their eff
cheney as units in the Atlantic fleet,
would not be noticeable in the parts
that they would play in Greek naval
defense. 1t is probable that the Greeks 8
would use them largely for harbor de-
Tense and 1t undoubtedly is true that
they are ideal ships for that sort of
thing.
OF course, II the deal be consum-
mated, Greece will be paying a high
price for the ships and the United
States will be driving an excellent bar
gain. Nevertheless, the Greeks are
anxious to get them at the price and
Secretary Daniels has been commended
for his business sagacity in trying to
make the trade.

few moments before had shot at and
severely beaten up James May. town
marshal of Shoshone.
Edwards, a recent arrival In Sho-

notified that the fellow had been cap

marshal that to that alone was due the
fact that another life or two had not
been attempted before submitting to

Washington, June 1s.LPractically no
opposition has developed in congress to
the sale OF the United States battle
ships Mississippi and Idaho to Greece
for s5,oo0o0O each. Greece has offered
to pay the United States government
just what they cost to build, not allow
ing for depreciation IN their value in
the 10 years since they were laid down.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels is
particularly anxious to dispose of the
battleships because Of their obsolete
character. They could not be placed Ill
the first line of battle. Pitted against
the latest dreadnaughts of the Ameri-
can navy, they could be put out of
commission before they were even
brought in range. Besides there is
another defect in these ships They
carry too much dead weight for their
displacement In other words, they are
too heavily armored. This came about
because the year they were authorized
congress got economical and reduced
the tonnage of the first-class battle
ships from 10000 to 1900 tons. New
ertheless the ships were loaded down
with armor and armament, with the
result there is less freeboard than in
some of the other ships of the period
when they were bhilt-1903 In a heavy
sea it is probable that one or more
turrets of both the Idaho and the Mis-
sissippi would be out of business. The

The trade estimates that the

aggregate a total Of 100000, 900.
And yet some pessimists talk
about dull times.
It is interesting to note that
this immense volume of business

persistent advertising linked
with consistent salesmanship.
And more enlightening still is
the fact that much the larger
percentage Of automobile advsr-

The newspaper advertising
