"Section 10. Be it further enacted
that all officers, departments, boards,
commissions, institutions and agen-
cies Of the state government or any
county or municipality in the state
shall cooperate with the council and
shall render it such aid. and assistance
and give it such information as the
council may need or require"
Copies Of the law are being sent
out to the sheriff, police officers, JUS
tices Of the peace and magistrates of
Glasgow by City Clerk Hummell,
which are being accompanied by a
copy Of the following letter received
from the secretary Of the state coun-
Gil Of defense:
In regard to registration of non-
workers, the subject of the order was
primarily for the assistance Of peace
officers, police chiefs, sherifFs and city
marshals, in rounding up those idlers
who refuse to work, no difference how
attractive an offer they may receive.
In operation the plan would work
something like this:
"A peace officer finds a man who is
not employed, takes him to the police
station or sheriff's office, and the man
makes a showing that he does not
come under the vagrancy law. You
will notice in the order that it is
made supplementary to the state law
on vagrants. This man gives an ex-
cuse for not working and signs it. If
the excuse is a good one, Of course
the police Judge or justice of the
peace accepts it, but if it is not a good
excuse the man is amenable to that
section of the law creating the Mon
tana council of defense which pro-
vides that all orders and regulations
of the council must be obeyed, or the
violator is subject to a penalty of the
fine or Imprisonment or BOTH"
1t has been pointed out to a rep
resentative of the Courier that there
is no valid excuse for man to be out
of work at this time. Two million
sudden vacancies-two million first
class jobs created by the draft are to
be had. Old excuses will not fit the
new conditions. Second-class help car

A DOZEN GRADUATES
FROM GLASGOW HIGH
Banquet Will be Given Saturday
Followed by Presentation of
Class Play.

Commencement week of the grad
uation exercises of the Glasgow High
school will open Saturday night with
banquet of the juniors and seniors

That Came True," will be presented
by the seniors in the high school aud
itorium.
Prof. Clark, professor of psychology
at the State Normal school at Dillon
will deliver the commencement ad-
dress Friday evening, May "a.
The presentation of the class play
is most eagerly looked forward to by
the people of Glasgow as the play
was given by the seniors last year
at Helena and was pronounced a great
success. In view of the fact that there
are eighteen characters in the play
and only twelve members of the
senior class the forces of the junior
class were called upon to make up the
deficiency in numbers which have
made good showing in efficiency of
acting.
The members of the senior class
are Emily Leonard, Eva Anderson,
Minnie Sektnan, Eva Mix, Ruth Her.
ren, Margaret Bucklin, Electra
Boehnert, Bernice Hagen, Alice Mel
son, Ward St. Clair, Norman Bliss
and Grace Behner. Lyman Miller was
a member of the class, but enlisted
in the navy at Mare Island several
months ago and will be unable to be
present.

ters of the play that is to be given

FROID PREACHER
HELD FOR SEDI1IoN
Alleged to Have Made Disl0yal
Remarks in a Sermon-Ex-
am;::cc1a am::ca nv Council.

Plentywood, May 17.-One of the
first cases where a citizen of Sheri-
dan county has been brought before
the public for alleged seditious utter
ances occurred today when DR.. ]. s.
Geiser of Froid was brought ia
Plentywood and given a hearing be-
dan county charged with making sedi-
tion statements.
Citizens from Froid and other towns
on that end of the branch line came
to Plentywood in autos to attend the
hearing which took place at the coun-
ty court house. After the investiga-
tion the council recommended to the
county attorney a prosecution of the
case, whereupon the attorney filed pa
pers to that effect and a warrant was
issued. DR.. Geiser being able to fur
nish bail, returned to his home at
Fold this evening.
It developed during the hearing that
DR.. Geised, who is a minister of a
certain church at Froid and at spare
times dentist, having special train
ing in both professions, has made sew
eral statements that are of a nature
both unloyal and damaging to the
United States government, among
which, it is alleged by the many Froid
witnesses who testified, DR.. Geiser
said during recent meeting held at
his church that he did not believe in
buying Liberty bonds and that his boy
had come home from school sorry be-
cause he was not permitted to buy
bonds as did other boys. To buy
bonds, it is alleged, the doctor, consid-
cred like the killing of a man. How
ever, as to these statements the doc
tor during the hearing stated that he
was sorry for ever telling them to his
but remained rather
stubborn when confronted with other
That he would like to
shake hands with the kaiser is said
to be another disloyal utterance made
by the accused.

RAILROAD RATES WILL
PROBABLY BE RAISED

Washington, May 17.-Estimates
made today by railroad administra-
tion officials indicate an increase of at
least twenty-five per cent in freight
and passenger rates will be necessary
this year to meet the higher costs Of
fuel, wages, equipment and other
operating expenses, now set at be-
tween $500, ,OO0, 900 .and $3.50, ,OOO, 900
more than last year.
Recommendation that rates be
raised by approximately this percent
age has been made to Director Gen.
eral McAdoo by his advisers. He is
expected to act within the next six
weeks, and to put increases into effect
Immediately. Shippers will be per-
mitted to appeal to the. interstate
commerce commission under the rail-
roads act and final decision will be
with President Wilson.
Such an increase would be the big
gest in history of American railways,
as the percentage is larger than any
ever sought by the railways under pri-
vate management, and would supply
alike to the entire country. Both class
and commodity schedules would be
affected.
Rate experts Of the interstate COM
merce commission and railroad ad-
ministration are now at work on new
schedules. Any increases to be or
dered will be arranged in a manner
to preserve rate relationships between
communities and regions, officials said
today, so industries and commercial
interests will be subject to the same
degree of rate competition as at pres
ent.
Passenger fares would be raised
under the proposed new arrangements
to about three cents mile is the
opinion of officials at Washington.

RAILROAD BRIDGES BURN

RAILROAD BRIDGES BURNED
From information received by local
railroad officials several attempts
have been made recently to destroy
trestle bridges of the Great Northern
Railway company, the latest attempt
having been made, when Engineer
Stone and Fireman Morris of passen-
ger train No. 3, Saturday night
stopped their train just in time, when
they saw a trestle bridge near Mon
dak on fire, the flames shooting high
in the air.
With the assistance Of railroad Sec
tion men from Buford the flames were
subdued and the train proceeded on
it's way west. This is said by various
train crews to be the third attempt to
destroy railroad bridges in the past
ten days as a similar fire was discov-
cred several days ago near Morley
and another near Malta a day or two
later. The matter is being investi-
gated by special agents of the railroad
company as it is thought the fires
may be caused by alien enemies.
