Figured in Exposure That
Failed.

Schultz had written from 265 West Forty
second street and the letter was received
at Mr.. Whtman's office on August 9.
Mr.. Ellison said last night that he had
never seen the detective, but that the
letter left doubt In his mind as to the
story told. This doubt was strengthened
when Schultz failed to appear.
Schultz's letter was without date. In

detective had been employed to get evil
dence to enable husband to get "A
divorce from an innocent woman. Schultz
said that the man In the case wanted to

To Hear Advance
Rate Case Again
Railroads Expect speedy Action
and Decision for Higher
Tariffs.

WAsHlNGroN, Sept. lS.-The per cent.
advance rate case will be reopened. That
Is understood to be the decision which the
Interstate Commerce Commission will an
nounCc tomorrow.
The opinion here is that the action of
the commission in taking up the case with
out delay Will greatly help to improve the
business situation in the United States.
Representatives of the railroads are con-
fident that they will now be able to CON
vince the commission that they should be
permitted To obtain additional revenue to
meet the present emergency through "A
general increase in freight rates.
Thus far the only objections to reopen
ing of the case appear to come from the
live stock interests. In its recent decision
the commission found that rates on live
stock were abnormally low and the car

held Wednesday evening i'm the city

important one as there are several i'm
portant matters To he considered. one

that the sum asked for the running eX-

II was first intended To hold a special

decided to adjourn this meeting as the
city attorney was unable to be pres

In referring To the cleanup work,
the mayor said
There is hardly cellar or a garnet

FRACTIONAL TROUBLE IN
FEDERATION IN BUTTE
RADICAL OR SOCIALIST ELE-
MENT MAY SECEDE FROM
ORGANIZATION.

A fight is on among the members of
the Western Federation of Miners III
Butte over the candidacy of Charles
IL. Meyer for reelection as president
of the federation. 1t is said the fight
probably will develop into a serious
split in the Butte union, the strongest
local in the Federation. The election
is To be held tomorrow.
TEele are radical and conservative
as there apparently is in the copper
country, judging from recent develop
ments among the Socialists. This
reference is made because ii is impos-
sible for the copper country mind to
divorce socialism and the Western
Federation OF Miners, no matter how
strenuously the relationship may be
denied.
That the radical element In the
Butte local has "A plan To affiliate with
"A similar element in British Columbia,
locals of the organization, in an effort
To secede from tie parent federation
and form new organization, is freely
vi ny IDullt iltlllbtIS.
That William Sullivan, II Butte
leader, generally known as Red"
has gone To British Columbia To join
with the radicals in the secession
movement, is Butte gossip. The Socia-
list element in the Canadian unions is
opposed To the Meyer administration
and their example has been followed by
the Butte Socialists i'm the organiza-
ton, who practically have bolted,
leaving Meyer without any opposition
in the Butte election tomorrow. Tie
belief is that these Butte boilers will
join with the Canadian Socialist mem
bers in an effort to bring about "A new
organization.
The Western Federation of Miners
Will oppose the new organization
strenuously. it is said, and will oppose
its recognition by organized labor if it
actually comes into existence, and viii
not recognize its members as union
men. This opposition will be all the
more strenuous If Meyer is returned to
office tomorrow, because the movement
is an organized attack on the president,
who, in the organization, is looked
upon as anti-sOcialist and opposed to
the radicalism of the sort exhibited
during the copper country strike.
In Tie copper country this view of
Meyer will occasion wonder. lie is
looked upon here AS radical enough for
all purposes, and if his attitude is con-
sidered Conservative the radicalsm
that attempts to oppose and depose
him undoubtedly would appeal To the
copper country anti Federation mind
as an awesome thing.

GAME POSTPONED
Action Disappoints Fans Other
Baseball Notes

baseball fans of Portage Lake were
keenly disappointed yesterday when
Il was announced at the eleventh hour
that the game to be played between
the Portage Lake and Hubbell teams
had To be postponed. The reason given
for the postponement was that the
unbbellitcs were unable to get team
together To visit the locals From the
number of fans who went to the driv-
ing park and hundreds of others who
were about To board cars ii is thought
that the attendance would have been
very large.
The roceeds from the game sched-
given to charity but it has been de-
cided that a game will be played in
the near future and the proceeds will
be contributed for such a purpose
From the present outlook. the Port
age Lake nine should be a strong one

college of Mines. will do the receiving
while Paul Hogan, the former Mohawk

finally Viljeon got up and made an
other speech, an hour long. Then the
governor of the state spoke again,
with more kindness than before
The two men waited another two
hour silence. The chief did not speak;
the Indians only pulled at their
pipes. Viljeon and the governor
tried one more speech each. Four
teen hours had passed; the morning
sun was high in the sky; the two
civilized men, not as stoical as the
Indians, were nerve-wrenched. And
finally the old chief spoke these
words: What about our stolen
lands? You haven't said word of
them. Go, and come back only
when you can give US back our
lands The two civilized men were
glad enough to get away alive.
The Indian problem is only one of
the thousands of problems that
await solution by Baby Mexico
when it grows up. Another problem
is how to get a middle-class of peo-
pie, a backbone for the govern
ment. A Mexican youth who has
gone to college Immediately insists on
a place in the government. He won't
be tradesman Or a merchant, white
collars and cuffs, for the rest of his
life for him, with lots of homage
and 1itf1n Tho mil Ma ho
can find these things is in the gov
eminent employ. To every "educat-
ed" Mexican, the government APP
pears to be only an institution in
which he can find berth. That S
how revolutions start.
In the United States there are mil
lions and millions of homes of happy
contented folks, the backbone of the
nation, who never worry about the
government unless they see it is GO
ing too far wrong; they settle that
in about a dozen hours on the next
election day, and then go back to
their duties, of raising good children
and maintaining contented homes.
Mexico still has to find place in
her social scale for such a class as
this. In Mexico you are either an
'aristocrat' or you're an ignorant
Indian. Let Mexico alone is good
advice. It's only baby nation
learning to walk, but it also strange
ly resembles a bomb loaded with a
lot of problems that Uncle Sam does
not want to touch.
