AWAITING
HIS RETURN
Treaty Supporters Expect to rave
Wilson Make Statement Which
Will Encourage
Cause.

TUnited Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.-Treaty
supporters in the senate today saw
in President Wilson's return 70
Washington a chance TO secure early
conversion OF wavering senators and
mild reservationists. As soon as the
presidents health Will permit, ad'
ministration leaders desire 10 set
from him a declaration, for use pri'
yately. that he viii refuse 10 accept
any ratification which includes reseF-
vations requiring the action OF other
nations.
If the president viii take this ac'
ton, treaty supporters expect to be
able 10 hang some reservationists 10
a program of mere interpretations
they said today.
Opposition senators believe TINS
plan will fail. Beyond this plan Oh
treaty advocates, the presidents re
turn will have little effect on the
treaty vote, leaders of both sides
said. They pointed out that he VIII
not get here until sunday, and thai
he was originally scheduled TO ar
rive Tuesday
Treaty opponents withheld COM
ment. pointing out they could not
with propriety talk about treaty de
veIopments attending the president
return, since the return was forced
by the presidents illness.
Outside the treaty, chief interest
here lay in what the president might
do about the steel strike.

M|ss0uLA PASTOR WAS
NOT ORTHODOX ENOUGH

Missoula, Feb. 24.--Rev w. II.
Lockwood today read from the pull
pit his resignation as pastor of I'M
manuel Baptist church, following a
long dispute with the deacons rela-
tive to the subject matter of his SER
mons. The deacons, according to the
clergyman S statement. declared that
he was not orthodox enough and de-
voted too much of his sermons to mu-
ncipal affairs and national interests.
Immediately after he resigned a pro-
test, signed by about 80 per cent of
the church members, was read pro-
testing against the action of the
deacons and the young people of the
church took similar action tonight.
Rev. Mr.. Lockwood is a graduate of
Hillsdale college, Michigan, and the
University of Chicago, coming here
from the latter institution in August,
1917.

PRESIDENT WILSON OPTIMISTIC ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Peoples Would Be Death of the World Chamber
SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW
Editor I}ullctin:

Editor Bulletin:
LIZ YOU are desirouS of protecting
the Butte public from Il piece of bare
faced "profiteering" please take note
of the following:
l have just came home from the
American theater, where they flashed
on the screen an announcement that
The Hearts OF Humanity Il picture
which opens Monday, and for which
they would have to charge an adj
mission fee OF so cents, but that
Butte was getting off cheap, as 1t
was being shown all over at $1.OO
and over"
The enclosed advertisement of
I4ocW's Metropolitan was taken from
last Sundays New York Times and
speaks for itself whether Butte is
favored, or being victimized BY a
shameless profitetr. l had seen the
al in the Times and was wondering
if the American theater management
could resist the temptation to raise
their prices, and give the dear people
IL square deal. Their deception should
be made known, for Loew's MetropoI-
itan theater is a theater of the first
class, and why Butte should be asked
to pay this eXorbitant admission is
only one more proof to the public
that they are surely the victims of
greed and seliisi,ness. L.. j. NJ.

Legislature Provides Force
of 1000 Camouflaged AS
Relief Workers.; Direct
Attack on Labor.
BILL PASSES THE HOUSE
BY A TWO TO ONE VOTE
Vicious Piece of Prussian-
ism for Minnesota Labor;
Reconstruction of Indus
trial Pirates Goes on.

Minneapolis, Feb. 24.-The lower
house of the Minnesota legislature
passed the motor corps biil last week
as a direct attack on organized Ia
bor and the Nonpartisan league. The
vote was IS to 43.
The motor corps is a big step to-
ward the creation of a state constab~
ulary, the aim of which is to sup
press free speech, lawful assemblage
and other constitutional rights of
citizens, which may conflict with the
business of political interests of the
group of men now dominating the
state of Minnesota.
The bill as passed by the house is
a perfectly camouflaged piece of leg
islation, To all intents and purposes,
from a casual reading of the bill, the
motor corps is to be used only for
the relief of communities stricken by
fire, flood or some similar calamity
The 2,000-odd members of the motor
corps are privileged to wear side
arms "for the purpose of preventing
looting by vandals." The quotation
is taken from the remarkab BILE speech
of +. j. McPartlin of koochiching

SED|T|0N CASE
GOES To JURY
Judge Word Rules Against
Defendants in Every Case !;
After Arguments Jury
Will Take a Hand.

Helena, Feb. 24.--The trial of w.
F. Dunn of the Butte Daily Bulletin,
charged with sedition, was resumed
here this morning.
The court ruled that the intention
of the defendant Dunn at the time
the alleged seditious article was writ
ten and published in the Bulletin was
immaterial.
Dunn was allowed to explain to the
jury that what he meant by the state
council of defense being dominated
by a Shiny political gang" was that
both the democratic and republican
parties of Montana were financed di-
rectly, i'll large part, by the Ana
conda Copper Mining company and
that the chairman of both party CEN
tral committees made frequent trips
to Butte for the purpose of getting
more money, and that because of this
he believed that men elected on
either ticket, and men appointed by
the one elected, would be more apt
to represent the corporate interests
than the interests of the common peo-
pie of Montana.
The defense was allowed to intro
duce practically no testimony and
the defense was overruled by Judge
Word Oh all points.
The defense rested at noon and
after instructions and arguments this
afternoon the case will go to the jury
this evening.

Hence the president returns to
make u strong effort at convincing
the country and congressional mem
bers of the vital Importance of the
league.
AS the covenant unions final
form is not ready for ratification, the
presidents s work now is largely in
formative. His big fight, il one
proves necessary, will come after the
Paris conference approves the league
plan and the final treaty is COM
pleted and ready for submission to
the United States for ratification.
The president will go before the
people, if necessary to ask support,
but that probably will not be before
midsummer or fall. The president
regards the biggest part of his job
abroad completed, the formation of
Il leagne covenant.
Good progress has been reported
to him by wireless from Paris on all
conference problems being worked
out by the committee in his absence.

T.F. COLE RESIGNS
FROM PRESIDENTS JOB
Anaconda Company May Be

With Kelly ON the Job.

r. r. Cole resigned in January as
president of the North Butte Mining
company and Robert Linton, former

The North Butte at present is
working only in the Speculator shaft,
doing cement work.
Last November they made what
they call a recOrd-2, ,000,0 900 pounds
of copper This cost them 23 cents
to produce and now they are selling
1t at Is cents, a loss of 100000 in
one month. They have been operat-
ing at a loss for some time, it is said.
Norman Brady is said to be a fail
ure and Thomas F. Cole wrecked
North Butte, as he has every other
company he has had anything to say
about" said a prominent mining man
to the Bulletin today.
''Giroux is shining example of his
mismanagement. You would think
now that the North Butte company
would be in hurry to do some min
ing and make up some of the loss
"Braly certainly has made rec
ord for himself and Cole, during the
three years he has had charge of
