POLICE PLAN WORK FOR
HOeOES WHO MAY INVADE
GLENDlvE IN FEW WEEKS
Chiefs Record Shows 56 Sheltered
From March 9 to 22, a Number
Declared Below the Average.

Due either to the vigilance of local
police or to diminution in number, few
er hoboes appeared in Glendive dur
ing the winter just ended than in any
previous period.
According to record kept by Police
Chief Kinney the total number of wan
dering men sheltered in the new city
Jail from March to March % was Sc.
| On March IA ten, the largest number
on any day in the period named, sought
and were given free beds. The day
following there was none to ask of the
city's charity. But one fled the night
of March 10 and found refuge and COM
parative comfort in the city prison.
On other days in the period named
an average of two to five were shelf
cred.
Of the Sc housed by the city 20 were
journeying eastward, ~ westward.
This was said to be illustrative of the
industrial unrest affecting all parts
of the United States but which Glen
dive and vicinity fortunately have es-
capped in large part.
Although we have been peculiarly
free from hoboes and other types of
tramp,s extra precautions will be TAX
en- this spring to divert an influx from
the east and the west," said Police
Chief Kinney. "Rumors have been
current of late that the number Of men
on the road is increasing and that
Glendive is on the northern line of
march.
Every unemployed man who wand
ers into this city the next few months
will be compelled to work on the
streets and vacant lots. In this way
the worthy will be winnowed from the
unworthy. In most instances, how
ever, the hobo is looking for work. It
is he who usually applies to the pol
ice for help. The 'moocher' and pan
handler dodge the police"
Reports from Havre the last few
days were that an average Of $50 men
were sheltered daily by the police.
From other cities in Montana came
similar reports. Seasonal development
in all forms of industry is expected to
cause a decrease in the host of hOboes, |
according to those best Informed.

GLENDIvE CATHOLICS JOIN
NATIONAL PLEA TO WILSON
FOR JUSTICE IN MEXICO
Almost All Of Local Parish Sign Reso-
iutions Protesting Exile Of And
Cruelty to Clergy.

In answer to the behest of heads of
the church in the United States, Ror-
an Catholics of Glendive with millions
Of others tn. 3ughout the country par
ticipated Wednesday evening in a ma
tional plea to President Wilson for bet
terment Of conditions in Mexico.
Members of the local parish, which
numbers about $50 families, signed
resolutions at a meeting in st. Jul
iana's church calling on the federal
administration to refuse recognition
to any faction in Mexico which would
withhold protection from Catholic
clergy or from the property of the
church. The resolution embodied
protest against the expulsion of priests
and nuns from Mexico and against the
i'll treatment alleged to have been ac-
corded them.
The movement for rehabilitation of
the church in Mexico was begun re-
Gently by James, Cardinal Gibbons Of
Baltimore; John, Cardinal Farley of
New York, and Thomas, Cardinal o.
Connell of Boston, after investigation
II the complaints of refugee clergy from
Mexico.
According to the Rev. e. Curran of
this city the prejudice against and
spoliation of the Catholic clergy in
Mexico are largely due the machina,
lions of anti-Catholic publications in
the United States. Vigorous steps al
ready have been taken, he said, by
prominent Catholics to prevail on the
government at Washington to bar from
he mails publications inilnical to the
Catholic or any other religious estab-
ishment.

Orchard on Highways.
Highways as a means to further
civilization and the accomplishments
Of good roads associations throughout
the United States were descanted on
by Mr.. John Orchard of Dickinson,
N. D., secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce of that place and secre-
tary Of the National Parks Highway
association.
Epigrams and witticisms frightened
his address. "I've been married "A
years and I've learned to obey" he
said. I'm an ex-pastor and don't like
divorces. A boy is an organized ap-
petite with skin stretched over it."
The National Highway association,
the speaker said, contemplated $4,000
miles Of improved roadway. One Of
the greatest undertakings of the or
ganization, Mr.. Orchard opined, was
the proposed highway from New York
to Seattle straight, unbroken thor
oughfare. This he said had been dub
bed the "Red Trail and would event
ually pass through Glendive.
So eloquent was the speaker and so
forceful and trenchant his arguments
that DR.. Hathaway virtually pledged
the Chamber Of Commerce to immed-
late consideration of a plan to sub
scribe to fund for financing the ''red
trail"
Bar Shows Cooperation.
True cooperation was illustrated by
Mr.. E. L. Bair of Chicago, formerly
of the Oakland, CAL, Chamber of Com
merce, candidate for mayor of that
city, now national organizer for the
Of All Railway Employees.
He told how in 40 minutes $40,0O0,000
was raised by representatives of GER
tain California cities for financing the
International Exposi-
tion. The reconstruction Of San Fran
cisco after a $30O,00O,00O loss by fire
and quake also was cited as an in
stance of cooperation. Mr.. Bars
mimicry and humor added brilliance
to his address.

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Aug. 26.-Receipts OF
cattle were again of moderate value,
around 40 cars, or 1000 head, as
against LAG a week ago and GAL
the corresponding day a year ago.
No great amount of change was
noticeable in the market for killing
grades. A fair amount of activity
developed and the moderate supply
cleared in good season. Run consist
ed for the most part of native corn
feds and grassers.
Outlet for stock cattle was mildly
irregular, good kinds selling readily
at firm figures, while some easier
spots showed up on the medium and
plain heavy kinds of steers.
Another slow session was had on
hogs. News from outside points in
dicated a slight touch of strength but
local packers acted Indifferent and
when a trading basis was reached
the general average was weak. A
few sales Of choice light kinds were
made at the outset at prices a little
stronger. Top for the day reached
$40, while the bulk of sales ranged
from $6.20@6.75.
Receipts of sheep were too light to
afford a basis for comparison and
prices held nominally steady with
the previous day.
