'MISSOuLAB BOARD
MUM ON CHARGES
Have Little to Say Regarding
Criticism on Asking Pay
for Services.
MAY INSTITUTE SUIT
Governor Stewart Declares
Physicians Demands
Perfectly Proper.

Members of the Missoula county
draft board yesterday would say very
little regarding the criticism against
them and five other counties Of the
state and the city of Butte for demand
ing pay for their services in con-
nection with the selective draft.
According to information received
from Helena the boards submitted eX-
pense accounts for their work while
the rest of the counties of the state
did the work without asking any pay
from the government. The lists Of
boards that demand salaries and the
amounts including the quota follows:
Gallatin, 129 men. 1887; Cascade,
So men, $1,000; Silver Bow, 361 men,
S3.454: city of Butte, 430 men, S.
o96.2S; Lewis and Clark, 122 men, s.
s37; Missoula, 1877 men, s2,oS3: Park,
1856 men, $1.4O7; Fergus, $1,571.S0.
In referring to the criticism Sheriff
Green said yesterday:
Officials Say Little.
I'VE prefer to give ample time to
those who are criticising us to say all
they wish to. When they have finished,
undoubtedly we shall have something
to say"
County Clerk Darlington flatly denied
pense account.
Il am a poor man." he said, land if
the government is willing to pay me
for the work l do for them, ! will take
the payment. But l shall not reply to
this criticism until it is completed"
DR.. Conyngham, while a county Of
ficer, does not receive salary for his
work. He said that when he was
asked to serve on the Missoula county
board without pay, he informed the
that he could not afford
to do so. They then offered him. he
says, $3.50 a month, and he said that
he would do the work Just as cheaply
as he could afford, and agreed to take
it up for $12O a month.
"Snce that time" he said, II would
say offhand that l have received $3.50
in two checks. l may have received
slightly more, but / have not received
anything like the amount quoted. And
my work has been done with the board,
with the result that my office has been
closed for IA great part Of the time"
Would Start Suit.
There was talk in Helena yesterday
Of taxpayers demanding of the county
commissioners that they institute suit
10 recover of the county officers the
amount of the salaries paid them by
the county during the time they
charged the federal government fol-
services.
Governor S. V. Stewart and Adju-
tant General Phil Greenan stated that
they considered the charges made by
county physicians for services on the
county boards were perfectly proper
inasmuch as the salaries paid county
physicians do not contemplate that
their time shall be exclusively occu
pied with county matters. Governor
Stewart added that a county physician
who is q member of the county boar
called upon him and asked if it were
proper for him to charge the gov
eminent for his services. The COVER.
nor told him in his opinion it was

RUSSIAN COALITION
GOVERNMENT SOON
Program VIII Not Be Changed
by New Regime.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Construction
of the coalition national government
of all parties in Russia was reported
in official dispatches to the embassy
here from the foreign office at Petro-
grid to be progressing but not yet
complete.
Two broad principles have been an
nounced.
First is that the new government
shall not in any way change the pro.
gram, internal or foreign, as set out
repeatedly by the present government
Second is that the new members
though appointed to represent the
various parties, shall not be RESPONSE
BILE to their parties, but shall be given
complete discretion and freedom OF
action.
At present there is still a rift be
tween the bourgeoise and the more
radical parties, The former insist that
social reforms shall not be undertaken
until the constituent assembly meets
in October and that the council OF
workmen's and soldiers delegates
shall not exercise a predominating in.
f1uence on the government. The radi.
cal parties are accusing them of pur.
posely hindering the government.

RUSSIAN ANARCHISTS
PERIL LIFE OF ROOT
Attempt TO Wreck and Burn u. S.
ENJOYS Train

Tokyo, Aug. IAN attempt to wreck
or burn the train on which Elihu Root
head of the American mission to Rus
STA, was riding, was made by an.
archists at Viatka station, in Siberia
according to travellers from Russia ar.
irving here.
Bridges ahead of Roots train were
set af1re just as Root was entering ST.
IBERIA. The train was stopped before il
reached the burning structures and
was delayed for thirty hours while the
damage was being repaired.
Then, as Root was about to start
again, Viatka station and storehouse
were set afre and the blaze spread to
the railway coaches there
Three trains were burned and the
Root train was threatened, but the
American mission escaped.
Mrs. Gregory Mason of New York
declared that after the storehouse and
coaches caught fire, blazing cars were
pushed down the tracks to the wind
ward of the Root train, SO that the
breeze carried the flames directly
against the train the American mis-
sion occupied. The GOODNESS of the en-
gineer of Roots train saved the mis-
sion. As the blazing cars approached,
he backed his cars rapidly out of dan
ger.

The deceased was seventy eight years
old and served in the Civil War with
the Wisconsin volunteers. Death came
quietly and was due to a complication
Of diseases peculiar to one OF his age.
Some seventy years ago Charles
Mcneil, then small boy, came from
New York state and settled with his
parents in Kenosha county Respond
ing to Lincoln's call to the colors in
'61 he served honorably in the War Of
Rebellion and derived much pleasure
in later life from the various conven-
tions of the g. A. r. By trade a carz
penter, Mr.. Mcneil was well known in
the Pleasant Prairie community where
he was widely respected as an old
soldier who served both country and
felloWman with the same unfagging
zeal and real efficiency.
The deceased leaves nine children
and thirty grandchildren to lament his
demise. His wife preceded him in
death more than eleven years ago. His
sons and daughters who survive him in

Drying about US, and l readily

worrying about US, and l readily

Regarding camp-life in general, Ser
geant Bailey makes a novel contribu-
ton when he says: "On the whole the
camp is an ideal place. The regiment is
furnished with a bath-house with
thirty showers. There is also a place
that they call The RegimentaI Can
teen where a fellow can get ice-cream,
tobacco, and such things. It IL very
popular and does great business es-
pecially in ice-cream. The last state
ment is hardly to be wondered at
in view of the fact that it is just as
warm at Camp Douglas as it has re-
Gently been III Kenosha.
These reports and this letter are of
interest to Kenosha people because they
dissipate popular reports that the boys
are chafng under discipline and suffer
ing from lack Of both necessities and
Injuries. Sergeant Bailey description
Of the country in and around Camp
Douglas would indicate that it is
highly healthful and not the .sand-
dune that it is frequently pictured.
His references to the Regimental
CanteenN are also encouraging mas
much as they infer that army life has
its pleasure as well as its profit and
occasional touches Of luxury to
relieve the frugality SO necessary to
military training of the sort to make
civilian soldiers and boys men.

GERMAN FINANCE TOTTERlNG
U. S. Sees crumbIing of System in
Frantic Quest for Gold.

Washington, Aug. IA curious
shrinkage in the German gold reserve
reported from abroad, attracts inter,
est here as possibly foreshadowing a
cruplbling of the German financial
system which up to now has borne the
immense load placed upon~it.
Observers here are at a loss to &C
count for the shrinkage, but give pos
sible causes. One Is that Germany, I'M
able to maintain her balance of trade
with contiguous neutrals, is being
forced to export gold in payment. An
)ther is that Bulgaria and Turkey re
fuse to take German bank notes, and
third that actual gold is needed for
the immense propaganda work that
Germany is conducting in Russia and
other countries.
