Washington, Jan. 19-Dispatches to
the state department late today from
Rio Janeiro said it was stated there
that the steamer st. Theodore. cap
tured by the German raider in the
south Atlantic, armed with two guns
and manned by German crew. was
cruising as an auxiliary to the raider.
Earlier in the day cablegram from
Consul Stewart at Pernambuco an
nounced the landing there of the st.
Theodore's crew including nine
Americans-by the Japanese steamer,
Hudson Maru. another OF the raider's
prizes. The consul said the other
ships captured were believed TO have
had no Americans aboard.
The report of the arming of the St.
Theodore, British vessel. was given
out with the explanation that the de-
partment had no means of ,letermin-
ing it's accuracy. Officials were in
clined to credit the stors however.
Despite the intense interest with
which the raiders work is heing fol-

BEAR LEGITIMATE TAXES
So Say Representatives Of
Water Power, Mining and
Farming Interests.

State Capitol, Helena, Jan. 19-(Staff
ing committee Of the house and senate
met at o'clock this afternoon and
listened to representatives of water
power. mining and farming interests.
who explained why their particular
branches of industry were already
taxed to the limit and should not be
considered as Il subject for further
taxation.
Attorney l.. O. Evans of Butte, chief
counsel for the Montana Power COM
pany, appeared in behalf OF the Mon
tana Power company, and went into
detail with regard to the character Of
its business, the assessed valuation on
which II is now being taxed and the
hazardous character of the Investment.
He stated that the Montana Power
company was now paying it's full share.
but will be willing to do whatever is
considered just. provided all classes of
industry and property were taxed
equally.
Mr.. Evans discussed the character
and history of the investment and
showed how the company had devel-
oped the use of electricity in electro
lytic reduction of ores, substitution of
electric power in place of steam in the
mines and on the railroads Of the
B. A. & p. and Milwaukee. He stated
that the company was paying on n
higher valuation than any other class
Of property and that it was at present
only making a return of 5k per cent
on it's investment.
Mr.. Evans was followed by Bruce
Kremer, attorney for many of the
smaller operators in the mining in
dustry in Butte. Mr.. Kremer made a
plea for the smaller mining operators,
claiming that they were paying now
all the taxes they could stand and Of
their histories to substantiate his ar
gument. He appealed to the commit
tees not to tax the mining industry SO
| that it would be Unable to continue the
great development the recent years
have experienced.
Senator williams followed with a few
humorous remarks comparing the farm
and it's products with the mines. He
stated that the only way In which an
equitable decision could be made by
the assembly would be to ascertain
/ the real valuation of all classes OF
property and then proceed to distribute
the cost of government equally.

WILSON USING PROD.

Washington, Jan. ia.-Members of
the senate steering today We're ear
nestly urged by President Wilson TO
get into lively action on administra-
tion legislative measures so that the
entire program of reforms advocated
by the president when he entered the
White House might be on the statute
books by March 4.
Many senators expressed grave doubt
tonight that the program could he put
through because of opposition to much
OF the legislation proposed. The water
power and mineral land leasing bills
are in bitter dispute.

CHROME IS SUCCESS

The first practical experience in
concentrating chrome ore known to
this state. n not inded to the en-
tire mining west. Is being conduct
ed at the Dorothea chrome mine on
Coyote creek. about eight miles east
Of Wolf Creek station. The pro-
perty is owned by Mrs. ]. +. Reddy
OF Medf0rd and is under lease to s.
s. Wolfson who Is operating II.
The property. formally known as
the Marshall mine, was operated as
a gold quartz proposition. but the
discovery Of large body Of chrome
with the brisk war demand for that
metal has turned the attention Of
the new owners to producing chrome.
The chrome ore Is put through
chrushers. classifiers, stamp mill and
over standard tables. The ore runs
about 30 per cent In chrome value.
and II Ia expected that, by eliminat-
ing a large part OF the serpentine
and gauge through the concentra-
tion process, a shipping concentrate
running about 65 per cent can be
produced. A so per cent chrome
ore or concentrate Is worth approx
imately $105 per ton In New York.
Freight from Grants Pass or any
point between Portland and San
Franclsco) to the Atlantic sea board
Is S14 per ton.
The chrome being shipped from
this territory finds Its best markets
