Butte, Mont, Aug Frank Little,
member Of the executive board of the
Industrial Workers of the World, and
prominent in labor trobules in Ari-
zona, was taken from a lodging house

hanged to a railroad trestle on the
outskirts of the city.
The body was cut down at a. m.

recent speech here. referred to United
States troops, as Uncle Sans scabs

Since his arrival in Butte recently

a number of speeches to strikers, at
tacking the government, and urging
the men to shut down the~ ines of
the Butte district. His recoru vas

authorities
Little was taken out of the build

of masked men who took him away
in an automobile. He was not given
time to dress. The building Is near
the Finn hotel, which is head
quarters of the new Metal Mine

GERMANY FORCED
To GET RID Of
SURPLUS SWINE
Find That Hog Rivals Man as
Consumer of Valuable Food
stuffs; Cattle Said to Be on.
Increase.
tsv MORNING Jous.A, s.se,., .sssso w,-s,

Berlin, Aug. German food eX-
perts have come to the conclusion
that a dead pig is better than a live
one, at least in war times. Intimate
and exhaustive studies of the porcine
appetite have disclosed that the pig
is mans chief competitor in consum-
ing valuable foodstuffs. Consequently
about half the pigs in Germany have
been killed.
The war food bureau today told a
correspondent of the Associated Press
that while the number of swine with
in the empire was diminishing CEN
sus figures of the last quarter showed
that the nation was richer by hun
dred thousand head of cattle than it
was on March /. On June | it was
said there was within Germany a to-
tai of 21,4OO,000 head of cattle, while
on December /, 1912, there was q,
100000.
The German bureau also claims
that the killing off of pigs has not
ieopardized the future resources of
the nation as pigs are rapid breeders
and females have been spared to a
large extent.
The experts who recommended the
wholesale killing of pigs pointed out
in their recommendation that the pig
in peace times was literally fed
grains, potatoes, cabbage and beets,
which just now form some of the
principal articles of the German diet.
The feeding of grains to pigs was re-
garded as being especially deplora-
BILE, it being found that in the case of
barley, for instance, four-fifths of the
nutritive value of the grain was lost
when so expended. Barley now has
been diverted to other consumers.
where, 1t is declared, it will prove one
hundred per cent efficient.

Hutte' Mont, Aug. Local au-
thorities announced tonight that they
were making every effort to appre-
hend those responsible for the lynch

an Industrial Worker of the World
leader.
Police officials, the sheriff and his
deputies and the county attorney as
serted they were puzzled and that so
far they had no clue which might lead
to the discovery of the identity of the
men.
The proprietress of the rooming
house from which the victim was
taken was so overcome by fear that
she even failed, she said, to notice
which direction the men chose when
they departed with Little. She said
she probably would not be able to rec
ognize them.
!. w. w, Threaten Vengeance.
Members of the Metal Mine Work
ers' union, in which Little had taken
an active part since his arrival in this
city some three weeks ago, held a
meeting this afternoon to discuss the
situation, Although some of the more
radical members, ii was said, advised
immediate retaliatory action, con-
servatism prevailed and the leaders
advised the men to keep their mouths
closed"
An intensely bitter feeling Is prev
alent among the miners, several OF
whom have made threats, one declar-
ing publicly that I'VE will get every

Three hundred members of the
state militia stationed here were re-
ported tonight to be ready for any
emergency. Their numbers were
swelled by arrivals today from other
parts of the state.
Members of the Metal Mine Work
ers declared today that they had iden-
titled five of the lynching party and
expected to discover sixth member.

Compliments the Tcams.

Captain Reid complimented the va
rious tears highly upon the results
achieved, stating that his experience
in campaigns indicated that the sec
ono day was usually the worst, where
as the reports just handed in indicated
no abatement of the interest and en-
thusiasm of the various committees.
In commenting the committee
men for the work they had done
and pointing out to them what
they still had to do, Edward
f. Trefz told of that achieve
ment of the gallant little Belgian
army when with only $4,000 they
faced 100000 trained to the minute,
equipped to the last button, Germans.
Each morning as they got up every
soldier in that gallant little army
knew that he must fight again the
losing battle of yesterday. Back to
the Marne Back to the gates of
Paris. Without ever faltering, with
out ever wavering. When their forced
retreat was over, there were but
1000 of them remaining but they
were still fighting, every one of them.
That, gentlemen, is grit. Campaigns,
like battles, are won by going at it,
going at it and again going at it.

Orville Wright Says
Aeros Will Win War
Thinks This Will Be the Last
Great Clash, as PLANES Will
Make Conflict Futile

Dayton, Ohio, July lO.-ln an inter
view here to-day Orville Wright pre-
dicted that aeroplanes would win the
war.
This is the last war because aero
planes used in great numbers will make
war futile. Ny brother and | were so
convinced from the beginning" he SAID.
Mr. Wright said air attacks on Lon
don were absurd if the design was 20
destroy the city.
"The obvious reason of these raids IS
20 keep large numbers of airmen IN
England for defensive purposes he
said. "They might otherwise be used
on the Western front
what will become OF the airplane
after the war;" he was asked.
1T will become the most popular
vehicle for sport Mr.. Wright said.
Thousands of young men who VIII
have learned 20 fy will be coming back.
They will not quit flying. Il is great
fun. From the start my brother and
saw the aeroplane as an unerring scout
through which armies could detect each
others movements. An AMY movement
can be successful only II veiled n
strictest secrecy. The army with the
most ewes will win"
