BUTTE. Mont, May 19.-What is be- lieved to be the biggest lawsuit ever heard in Montana, involving in its ulti- mate decision fortune estimated at s1OO.000, 900, is in the federal court here. The suit was between the Minerals Separation, Limited, and the Butte and Superior Mining Con- pany for what was alleged to be an infringement of the patent owned by the plaintiff. The patent has been upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in suit by the Minerals Separation against James w. Hyde for infringement of the oil-mir froth flo- tation process for separating minerals from gangue in mining operations.
 u is estimated that in case the deci- sion is against the Butte and Superior Company, damages to the amount Of s1s.OO0. 900 may be collected by the Minerals Separation from the one com pany alone. The decision. is expected to affect other users of the process.

 In making the investigations the league is not assuming dictatorial powers and does not want the mer- chants whose places will be visited to think that the members of the com mittees expect to find each place equipped with the latest machinery for turning out foodstuffs. The league be- lieves that the district is depending for the majority of it's food supply upon stores, restaurants, etc, that have no equal in the state for cleanliness, and the inspection trips are to be made principally to satisfy the hundreds of members that this is the case.

OBSCURE RACES ARE
 NOW RESIDENTS OF
 THE RUSSIAN CAPITAL
Appeals Made To Govern ment To Protect Tribes That Are Fast Becoming Extinct In Far East.
(By Review Leased wire)

PETROGRAD. May 19.-The war has brought into Petrograd. for the first time in their existence. some of the obscure half forgotten races which inhabit the Transatlantic re- gions, the frozen reaches of the north. and other remote provinces of the Russian Empire. Most of these say age peoples are as far removed from civilization as their ancestors of D. 900 years ago and. though nOminally belonging to Russia. have enjoyed none of the privileges of government protection conferred upon the other foreign races which occupy regions in the centrol portion of the empire.
 Appeals are now being made to the government to take all possible measures to preserve and protect these tribes. who are fast becoming extinct, leaving some of the most fer tile and richest parts of Russia un- tenanted and neglected
 Among these races are the Vo- tiaks. Tungusi. and the Samoyeds. all of which occupy lands rich in varied produce and which contribute coh- siderably to the resources of the country. It is argued that if no pre- cautions are taken to prevent the ex- tinction of these races which Is be ing hastened by scurvy and other dis ease. lands which they occupy will become uninhabited and Russia will lose a source of considerable revenue.

HARRY L0CkE'S NEW ROAD GUIDE IS NOW
 UPON THE MARKETS
Best Road Map of The Entire Southwest Has Been Pub lished By Former Resident of The District.

Harry Locke, the engineer who has motored over more miles of good. bad and indifferent roads than any man in the country. has just published a tour book of his travels that deserves more than passing mention. MT. Locke is field engineer for several good roads and highway associations. a work re- quiring almost constant travel while searching out and mapping the most | feasible routes in Florida, Alabama. Mississippi. Louisiana, Texas. New Mexico. Arizona and Southern Califor- mia.
 Locke's Good Road Maps of Local and Transcontinental Automobile Routes, is the title of the new edition, which contains detailed maps and tour ing information of thousands of miles of roadway. So clear and plan has this data been arranged that strangers need ask no questions regarding the right roads to use or where supplies, service and accommodations can be found Altogether, there are nearly 800 pictures accompanying the maps, entire pages being devoted to illustra- tions of scenic attractions and various types of road construction. The unus- ual feature is that this fund of infor- nation is contained in a pocket size book of 216 pages.
 Among the prominent highways dealt with are: Old Spanish Trails. National Old Trails. Borderland Route. Fl Camino Real, Apache Trail. Parker Cutoff. Trail to the Sunset. Fort Worth-El Paso Highway, Colorado to Gulf. Meridian Highway, Oklahoma, Texas and Gulf, Jefferson Highway, Dixie Highway. Dixie Overland Route, Forrest Highway. Jackson Highway, Southern National Highway, and the OceaN to Ocean Highway.
 The greatest variety of interesting travel and diversity of entertainment is thus offered to lure the automobilist on vacation journeys. For instance. one may choose the trip to the White mountains, in Arizona, at an elevation
 
 California. winch is below sea level; the Atlantic coast of Florida to Palm Beach and Miami. or the route to Los Angeles along the shores of the Pa cific: the concrete highways travers- ing the orange belt of California or the natural roads through the Indian villages of Arizona: the summit of the Sacramento mountains, at Cloudcroft, N. NJ. or the vast expanses of open prairies in Texas; the Elephant Butte dam, which has created lake 42 miles long on the Rio Grande river, or the Roosevelt dam, which backs up the waters of Salt and Tonto rivers for 25 miles: the Gulf Of Mexico may be skirted from Tampa, Fla, through Mo- bile. Ala. and New Orleans to Calves ton. Tex: or in Louisiana. the Missis- sippi and Red rivers can be followed on roads along the levees between Shreveport and New Orleans: even the trail the Arizona Good Roads Associa- tion's route car blazed to the very bottom of the Grand Canyon is illus trated.
 Chambers of Commerce and Auto mobile Clubs in many localities are as- sisting in the distribution of the Tour Guide, realizing that the result will be an increased travel over the auto roads of the south and southwest.

NEGROES FOR PREPAREDNESS
Seymour Carroll Tells Negroes That it
is Their Duty to Rally to the Stars
and Stripes.

Sunday night at Emanuel M. f.
Church on South Main street, Sey-
mour Carroll, we'll known in Student
Y. M. G. A. work among negroes,
spoke on patriotism, loyalty and pre-
paredness among negroes in case OF
war with Germany. In urging his
people, he said: "The American black
man in 1919 was asked to submit to
|slavery or choose between death and
extinction, he took the former. In
1776, this same race was asked to
decided between American independ-
ence and British oppression; again
we find him taking the former. In
1914, and 1868, the same people gave
proof to the test of honorable patriot
ism. During the Spanish American
war, the same fever Of loyalty that
lives in your hearts tonight was as
contagious then as it is now. I will
largely agree that we have not re-
ceived just the right kind Of treat
ment from the hands Of our white
brethren, while on the other hand,
it must be remembered that you have
women and children, lives and prop
erty and a future above all that must
be protected. Kites go up by the
oppression of the wind, so do races"
continued the speaker. IT want to
urge you mothers who are here pres
ent tonight who have sons, you faith
ers who have sons, you girls who have
brothers, and, last, you young men
who are in the church tonight-those
of you who are strong and able-bod-
led, to warn you that the call is COM
ing for training camp for black SOL
diers, who must meet the issue as
during the Spanish American war,
when he was told to be loyal, but
who forgot race hatred, prejudice by
both races, strife and oppression and
rallied to the Stars and Stripes. In
slavery, in freedom, in oppression, in
war or peace we have not deceived or
betrayed our trust as American citi-
zens. We have always been true to
the Stars and Stripes, but you men
make preparation, for the call that

From The Daily Item, March 80.

From The Daily Item, March 80.
A fight occurred in the court of
common pleas this morning between
a. c. Phelps, who was undergoing
cross-examination by j. H. Clifton,
when the former left the witness
stand ard made an attack on the lat
ter. Several severe bruises were in
fiicted upon Mr.. Clifton's forehead by
blows struck by Mr.. Phelps before
the two men were separated.
The difficulty followed questions by
Mr.. Clifton, which Mr.. Phelps stated
were an imputation upon his good
name and which he resented. In re-
sponse to Mr.. Phelps statement. Mr..
Clifton offered to meet him outside at
any time. Mr.. Phelps stepped down
from the witness stand and advanced
toward Mr.. Clifton who started out
from behind the table where he was
standing. From statements heard of
the affair it seems that Mr.. Phelps
was not hit by Mr.. Clifton while he
landed several blows on the latter's
face. seal ring on Mr. Phelps
hand added to the severity of the
blows.
When seen afterwards Mr.. Clifton
stated that he had nothing to say-the
matter was in the hands Of the court.
Attorneys for Mr.. Phelps stated that
it would be improper for him to say
anything; at this time concerning the
affair.
The fight broke up court tenn
porarily and Judge Memminger ad-
journed court until afternoon.
The difficulty between the two men
occurred during the morning session
in the course of the Hardy Bowman
case. Mir. Phelps went on the stand
late yesterday afternoon and this
morning big crowd had gathered in
the court room as it was expected
that the cross-examiantion of this wit
ness would be peppery. Many ladies
were in the crowd of spectators.
In his questioning Mr.. Clifton had
asked Mr.. Phelps if it was not his
whispering tales to Mr.. Hardy which
had caused Mr.. Hardy to write the
letter to Mr.. Bowman discharging him.
Mr.. Phelps denied this as untrue. Mr.
Clifton then asked if he. Phelps, had
not been a tell-tale and tattler, in re-
porting TO Mr.. Hardy that Mr.. Bow
man was not attending to his business
causing his discharge This Mr..
Phelps denied again as being untrue,
saying that he had made only such
reports as manager of the business. He
then told Mr.. Clifton that he was TAX
ing advantage of his position to ask
him questions on the witness stand
which he would not dare ask him on
the street. Mr.. Clifton replied that
he was not going to run away, that he
would ask anything he pleased, and if
Mr.. Phelps wanted to regard it as
personal, he could meet him outside
or anywhere else. 1t was following
this remark that Mr.. Phelps left the
witness stand and the personal en-
counter took place.
