 Police Chief Thomas E. Brown has been on the trail of RudoIpho Yenello for several weeks and felt relieved when he saw Yenello safe in a cell in the police station Friday morning. He was captured Thursday night by Pa trolman Parker of Pawcatuck in shack in Burdick lane and turned over to the Westerly police. Yenello was arrested about a month ago, charged with stealing metal owned by the Eagle Metal company from a freight car that was being loaded in the Westerly freight yard. He told a plau sible story when arraigned which was to the effect that he asked a railroad man for some of the metal to use as a weight Ill his well curb and was told to help himself to the metal which he did, taking perhaps more than he actually required. It was his first ap- pearance in the Third district court and Judge Williams suspended sen tence upon payment of costs and placed the accused on probation.
 Chief Brown, who is complainant in all civil cases had the choice of charging him with larceny and hold the case within the jurisdiction of the dis trict court, upon the charge of breaking and entering, and send the case to the superior court and perhaps, lot aIao h f o,-fv,a 1f highway robbery.
 His arrest at this time was for the theft of 150 pounds of white lead from Joseph Trajectory in John street The chief is satisfied that Yenello broke and entered the residence of George and Edward Doherty on the Brown Bridge load, two weeks ago, and stealing therefrom a bicycle valued at S20 and a revolver valued at $5. Last Wednesday morning the same house was broken into and a watch valued at $25. a pair of trousers valued at $5 and a razor valued al $2 taken. Yenello was wearing the stolen trousers when arrested and the fazor was in one of the pockets. These have been posi- lively identified and the police are endeavoring to locate the rest of the stolen property and also the owner of a magazine revolver he had in his possession. Yenello was seen near the house early Wednesday morning and was in New London Thursday.
 George Doherty several weeks ago was assaulted when in the woods a long distance from the house and was robbed ,f $38 There fs suspicion that Yerello committed this crime.
 Chief Brown had not completed his investigation late Friday afternoon. fenelo will be arraigned Saturday. 2fe jhief has reco7ered the stolen watch, located the chain, and was in quest of the rest of the goods Friday night.

CHARLES Il, LEONARD WRITES OF THE
BIG WORK OF STATE TAX commission

tons, a large express is incurred,
larger propoNtionately than lis re-
quired in later years. But l think
Montana has the wealth which, if
evenly and equitably assessed, should
be adequate for all her needs.
But whatever system is devised,
it must be fair to all, and each in
dustry, each corporation and each
individual should bear his proper
share. That is the policy of the law,
and it is right.
"The commission, l am satisfied,
will want to make the largest inquiry
possible so as to inform itself fully
on all questions involved, and will
want to counsel, not only with the
state board of equalization, but with
county assessors, officers of corpora
lions and all other persons who are
in position to assist it in getting
data for it's work.

Since the enactment of the law
making it possible for 100 men ey-

academy at Annapolis, more high
grade young men than ever have en-
tered the service. While some of
these men do not reach the goal of
their ambition the great majority are
none the less contented because the
same work which would prepare
them to enter the academy puts them

when the lunch counter was the place

day for defreshment and divertise-

He then cast about for some plan
to aggrandize his organization. He

At that time William Davey was
the owner OF the old Chequamegan,
one of the most popular restaurants
in Butte. Davey had made consid-
cradle money in his establishment.
He was popular with all classes. Rey-
nolds was his friend. He decided
that the way to entrench the Cooks
and Walters union was to elect Da-
vey mayor.
1t was necessary to get control of
the democratic organization in order
to bring about the nomination of Da-
vey. This he did by electing every
member of the Cooks and Walters

The convention was made up of
about 500 delegates. Reynolds went
into the convention with the votes OF
200 delegates, every one member
of the Cooks and Walters union.
When the proper time came Rey
nolds made the speech which put
Davey's name before the convention.
He made an eloquent appeal, and
won the place for his candidate with
ease.

Reynolds they canvassed every man

friends. Reynolds was made chief of

The Honorable Jeanette Rankin

Suffrage association, followed by

first public address to the suffrag-
cites, and the impression that she
created was very favorable.
Members Welcome Her.
Representative Evans escorted her
into the house of representatives.
Her appearance was the signal for an
ovation, and she was compelled to
rise and bow her acknowledgement
to the plaudits of her fellow members
whose reception was NOSE cordial. On

proceedings of the house as member

ed and pay his respects or offer his
congratulations. In the throng came
Uncle Joe Cannon. A gallant by ma
ture. Uncle Joe said to Miss Rankin,
after extending her warm welcome:
"If you are looking for q grandfather,
you might adopt me-" Miss Rankin
thanked Uncle Joe for his friendly
interest, and promised to take his
offer under advisement." Then came
Representative Mann, republican
leader, who told Miss Rankin she had
exhibited her poise and good judg-
ment'' when she had voted for him

of humor, Miss Rankin gave Mr..
Mann further assurance of her rep, b.
licanism, and he pissed on, smiling.
Her first vote was on the resolu-
ton declaring state of war with
Germany. With apparent emotion
she voted against the resolution.

From thy prares that heave like the ocean,
From thy mountains shall blow unconfned
