THE WEATHER.
Fair and cooler

AS a result of the mediation COM
lnittee's report, stating that they had
been unable to arrange a meeting be-
tween the Anaconda Mining company
and the Metal Trades, the Silver Bow
council last night asked the Building
Trades council to declare the mining
companies unfair.
The regulations governing this
sort of action make it compulsory for
the Building Trades to comply with
this request.
Request for General Pardon.
A communication was received
from the Chicago Amnesty league,
asking the council to endorse re-
quest for a general pardon for all
soldiers and sailors now imprisoned
in federal penitentiaries for viola
ton of military discipline; all sol
diers and sailors not guilty of felo-
nies are to be included. The council
complied with the request.
Star Piano Company Unfair.
The Richmond CIV. Va.) Central
Labor council, in a letter from that
body, notified organized labor that
the Star Piano company and all its
products were unfair. A similar COM
munieation was received from the
publicity committee of the Metal Pol
ishers' union concerning the Gill
christ Manufacturing company. Both
matters were referred to the union
label committee.
The Livingston Federal Labor
union inquired about the organiza-
ton of the plumbers in that city; the
inquiry was referred TO the Plumbers
union.

home territory to change their atti-
tude.
HI an endeavor to create an irre-
sistable demand for quick ratifica-
ton, the president, it is learned, will
make bold statements of what he
considers facts rather than oratorical
efforts. His itinerary calls for in
yasion of the states of some of his
principal opponents in the senate.
Most of his speeches will be de-
livered west of Chicago, where the
administration believes antipathy to-
ward the treaty is the strongest. Spe-
cial attention will be devoted to the
Pacific coast where the people, ac-
cOrding to their senators, are suspi-
cious of the Japanese and resentfu1
of the Shantung settlement, whereby
Japan gets important grants in
China
III addition to his speeches on the
coast. the president will review the
Pacific fleet at sea on September Is.
One of Wilson'S arguments for rat
ification is expected to be that of the
industrial unrest and that high prices
cannot end until real peace is estab-
lished through acceptance OF the
treaty. He plans to explain his reasons
for committing the United States to
the League of Nations, in fact he in-
tends to make a personal report to
the American people on his Paris

which have made history in Butte
in the past.
RETURNS TANIPEKED WITH.
Yin one precinct in particular, the
Bulletin has ascertainel that IA
change of more than go votes has
been made and the result Of the
halloting in that precinct switched
from an overwhelming majority
against the bond issue to an even
larger majority in favor of it.
Further Investigations i'll other
precincts are being made and the
discrepancies between the actual
figures Of the vote cast and the num-
bcr for and against checked up with
the unofficial figures us given out
at the courthouse. The results of
the Bulletins investigation, how
ever, will be withhold until after the
official canvass, when it is cnnSid-
cred probable, u contest will be in
stituted.
1t may be stated. however, that
evidence SO far secured by the Bu'le-
tin warrants the prediction that
when the real figures on the vote
tire made public. the bond issue will
be found to have been defeated.
Few Want Bonds.
The closeness of the vote yester-
day is explained by the fact that
hundreds of opponents of the bond
issue were unable to exercise their
rights of suffrage through inability
to locate the polling places, which
apparently had been placed by the
county officials in inaccessible
places. Numerous instances where
voters searched for an hour Or more
in unsuccessful efforts to find their
polling places and then returned
home without having voted have
come to light. 1t is also stated that
because OF the buttonholing cam

the armory on Monday night, Deem.
Der 20, when an election Of officers
will be held.
Practice for the selection of bas-
ketbaH quint started last Monday

tice nights and take tryout.
At the next post meeting you are

The boys of the post, many of whom

tribute to their comrades who rest IN
the gun silenced fields of France be-

Refuses to Resubmit Treaty.

An Official bulletin issued from the
white house in Washington on Mon
day said that the president does not
intend to resubmit the peace treaty
with its league Of nations covenant to
the senate, that he has no compromise
or concession to offer, and that the UNI
divided responsibility for the failure
to ratify the document and for the
present condition of the world rests
with the republicans.
Republican leaders Immediately re-
sponded that the president is to blame
for the fate of the treaty and the
plight of the world because of his re-
fusal to accept reservations designed
to Americanize the league of nations
covenant. They asserted they would
not yield in their insistence upon the
adoption of such reservations, even
though the treaty should, remain
buried, and that for such an outcome
the president and his democratic sup
porters must bear the responsibility.

The Dorcas society of the Congrega-

The pledge of 81 900 for the building
fund was only taken last March and
the society was given two years in
which to raise it, so the members are
much elated at their success and feel
most grateful to the many who are

J. III. Mullen Honored.

J. H. Mullen, chief engineer of the
state highway department, was elected
at Louisville, KY, on December II to
the treasurership Of the American
Association of State Highway officials.
The association voted to recommend
to congress that that body decline to
pass the Townsend bill providing for
a system of highways constructed and
maintained by the federal government.
In place of the proposed measure,
the association asked that congress
appropriate $10O,0O0,000 for the next
four years to finish the system now
being constructed by state govern
ments receiving federal aid.
Various states have been construct
ing national system Of highways for
the past three years, according to Mr..
Mullen, with federal aid. IF the
Townsend bill passes it will mean
that another system will have to be
established to carry on this work, and
in the meantime construction will be
at standstill
It also was recommended that the
states be placed on a better basis of
federal apportionment.
A committee on standards was APP
pointed to see that all work in states
constructing national highways work
along similar lines in road construc-
ton, that the highways may be as
nearly uniform as possible.
Another committee was appointed
to take steps for the turning over of
all surplus war machinery allotted for
road building work to the department

800 PEOPLE ATTEND
Scheurrer Concert Company's Enter
tainment is Appreciated by
People of Princeton.
Next Number Of Series Lecture on
the Gyroscope by Prof. New
kirk Of University.

In spite of the inclement weather of
last Friday evening an audience of
over 300 was present in the high school
auditorium to hear the concert given
by the Scheurrer Concert company, and
those who braved the stormy sub-zero
weather felt fully repaid, for the like
of Mr.. Scheurrer's violin playing had
never been heard in Princeton. Mr..
Olmstead, the head of the lyceum de-
partment at the university, speaks
truly when he says that it is most I'M
usual for musician like Mr.. Scheur-
rer to be on any lyceum circuit.
Prlnceton's appreciation of classical
music was evidenced by the close at
tention paid to the rendition of every
number played by Mr.. Scheurrer and
also by the hearty applause accorded
him.
The pianist, Miss Alexander, from
the McPhail school of music in Mime
apolis, proved herself a splendid ac-
companist, upon whom depends so
much of the success, of concert. She
also exhibited remarkable technique
in her execution Of a polonaise by
Listz
Miss Ruth Thompson, the soprano
sololst, has a wonderfully flexible
voice. Her selections were evidently
chosen with due regard to this quail
ty and were very pleasing.
Miss Hazel Bartlett's readings
harmonized we'll with the rest of the
program and at the same time furn-
ished just the needed relaxation. She
and Miss Alexander did some good
team work in the pianologues, which
