Omaha Futurcs.
The local future grain situation was rather
quiet today and the market lacked any de-
cided sentiment to give either side OF the
market any important advantage. The un-
certain condition of the market at present
10 due to tho political situation and the
lack Of shipping facilities and neither side
would take any decided position while these
conditions exist. The closing prices, how
ever. on May and July wheat were a trine
higher and somewhat higher on May corn
Oats continued quiet and made fairly GOOD
gains In sympathy with wheat and corn.

Western Roads Will Not
Send Cars East of CHICAGO

Official orders have gone out from
the Rock Island, the Milwaukee, I'm
ion Pacific, Burlington and North
western prohibiting their cars going
east of Chicago, whether loaded or
empty. This is done, it is asserted.
in an attempt to try and relieve the
freight car shortage, which, it is as
serted, has frightened up rapidly since
the U-boat campaign started.
Car accountants of the roads pro-
mitigating the recent order estimate
that the roads named at this time
have $4,000 more of their cars tied
up east Of Chicago than they have for
eign line cars in their possession.

STAY GRANTED IN
FAHNLENDER CASE

In order to make It a test case, q
for the defense an opportunity to file
a motion for a new trial, was granted
by Judge George NJ. Bourquin yester-
day in the case of the United States
against j. J. Fahniender Fahnlender
was found guilty yesterday morning
by the jury in the United States dis
trict court of obtaining illegal trans
portation Of baggage at less than the
established rate. The court fined the
defendant s25 and the costs Of the
action and remanded him to the GUS
tody of the marshal until the order
was complied with, but Immediately
ordered a stay of execution until Mon
day.
The charge against Fahnlender Is
that of transporting property a, less
than the usual rates by the use of a
"ailroad ticket falsely obtained The
defense contended that the case did
not GONE under the statute relating to
such crime because there are no rates
on such baggage.
Albert Roeder changed his plea Of
not guilty to one of guilty Of boot
logging. The passing Of sentence was
deferred until October 4, 1917.
Margaret Cardwell, doing business
under the name of "McNamara's," was
adjudged bankrupt by the court and
her case was referred to Referee +, W.
Haskins of Butte.
Court was adjourned until Monday
morning. Judge Bourquin left last
night for Butte, where he will deliver
an address at a patriotic demonstra-
ton today.

Statement of School Board
Regarding Finances Might
Be Misleading.
WRONG DATE CHOSEN
Account Should Have Been
Taken at End Of Districts
Fiscal Year.

Editor. Missoulian:-I should like to
be allowed to say few words about
the financial statement Of school dis
trict No. /, as published in this morn
ings issue Of The Missoulian by James
Brown. c. H. Elliott and NJ. r. c.
Smith, present trustees of our school
district and candidates for re election.
These statements run from March
to Marchsl and could be misleading.
Any business man knows that the
proper time to make comparative state
ments is at the end OF the business
year.
The school year ends August 81 each
year, SO that is the only time to make
a fair comparative financial statement.
The above gentlemen claim that some
OF their opponents have made a state
ment to the effect that the balance in
the school funds the last year was
$4,000 less than the year before and
they deny this being the fact
Balance in general fund Au-
gust 81 s2s. 061.16
81, 1916 ......................... s59,319.12
Deduct proceeds of bonds not
used at this date $33,696.10
Deduct sinking fund $3.50
- s4.2ss.os
Legitimate balance in general
fund August 81, 19l6..---...-225 ,056.09
Amount used more than in
come. year ending August
81, 1916 3,005.01
The above items are taken from the
clerks financial statement to the coun-
ty treasurer and are official, SO must
be correct.
In their statement showing a balance
Of $S5,205.25 March l, 1917, Brown,
Smith and Elliott neglect to state that
$4,000 Of this amount came from the
bond issue Of last spring and should
either not be included in this balance
or should he added to the balance of
March /, 1916.
Furthermore, if anyone is interested
I can show them why. notwithstand-
Ing the fact that the county December
and March appointments this year
were -----------..--- ,ooo.oo
and only 99,4l6.I4
last year. a difference of.--.s 10,463 10
the school district only drew s46ls5
more th&n last year, while according to
all precedent ii should have drawn be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 more.
Very truly yours,
