BODY OF BABY
DISCOVERED IN
LAKE AV0CA
Authorities Express Belief
Identity Of Unnatural
Mother Will Be Dis
covered.

Wrapped in a brown plush curtain,
in which it apparently had been hast
lily tied, the body of an infant was
found, floating in Lake Avoca yes
terday afternoon by two boys, Eddie
Richards and Leonard McDougal. Ac-
cording to morticians who examined
the body, it apparently had been in
the water for at least 10 days.
Whether the infant was drowned
in the lake by some young mother,
who sought to hide her shame, is a
question that is being studied by the
authorities The officials, however,
believe the infant is the victim of a
crime similar to the case OF several
months ago when baby's body was
found lying on Lovers Roost.''
The infant was nude except for
the curtain covering and was a fe-
male.
Attendants at the lake say they
are unable to explain the mystery of
how the baby came to be found in
the lake The attendants declare
they have noticed no person in the
vicinity within the last few weeks,
whose actions caused suspicion.
Authorities are of the belief that
the mothers identity will be estab-
lished through the curtain with
which the body was covered.

The Dunn motion. which was
signed in addition to himself, BY
Bergeson, Hunter, Franklin, Arnold
and Boulware, was explained by the
Silver Bow representative. who
called attention to the fact that so
far no plan had been suggested and
asserted that there existed a Ques-
ton as to the right Of the state to.
use any Of its funds forsseha rSsstH 1,llR
or industrial purposes.
Speaking on his motion. Dunn, re-
ferring to the fact that he has an
appeal pending before the supreme
court from a judgment of the lower
court which convicted him of alleged
tsedition" because of an editorial
criticism of the motives of members
of the state council of defense, said.
There is no one less desirous of
seeing the supreme court in session
than myself. But in view Of the
emergency I am willing to subordi-
nate my personal interests and feel
ings."
Mr.. Dunn told the legislators that
no plan for the relief of the farmers
had been suggested SO far and char
acterized the governors message as
confirming something he had "al
ready suspected bankruptcy of
executive intellect
Meigs attacked the motion on the
grounds that the legislature was
without authority to call upon the
supreme court for such decision
and said such decision was
handed down it would have no
standing with bonding companies.
The motion was tabled by close
vote.
Yesterdays legislative session was
barren of results except for the pass
age in the senate of the bill to repeal
the county division law enacted at
the regular session last February.

tackled by Freudenstei11.

In addition to the laurels already
annexed by the Bulletin in its CAM
paigns to remove unfit persons from
the police force and to clean the
old gang out of the city hall. another
laurel was added to the Bulletins
record of accomplishments for the
taxpayers last night when the city
printing contract was awarded to
the Butte Daily Post at a price of
one-tenth of one cent per column
inch for publication of legal notices.
1t is estimated that as the result
of the new contract, the city's print
ing of legal notices for the next
two years will cost the taxpayers
approximately 50, or 81 per year,
a saving of approximately $2,999
per year.
Two weeks ago when the bids for
printing for legal notices were
opened by the city council the bid
of the Intermountain Publishing
company, publishers of the Butte
Daily Post, owned by the Anaconda
Copper Mining company, offered a
bid of 60 cents per column inch for
the city's printing. The only other
bidder was the Bulletin Publishing
company.
Because, however, the bids were
made on different basis, both were
rejected and new bids called for.
Last night the new bids We're opened
and again there were only two bid
ers--the Bulletin and the Post, the
former bidding 40 cents an inch and
the latter one-tenth of one cent an
inch
Bid Exceptionally Low.

which constitutes a gift to the city
of its columns for public printing

President Stone, of the Brother

have substantial increases unless the
government cuts the cost Of living.
The shopworkers have given
Hines until Tuesday to reply to their

sented following a conference which

said. The shopmen have postponed

they added.
'Profiteering must be eliminated
or there will be revolution in the
United States," said President Shea
of the Brotherhood Of Firemen and
Engineers. "Profiteers in the neces-

increases as fast as they are granted
to the workers. Wages of firemen
have increased 45 per cent since
1913, and in that time the cost of

80 per cent. The firemen got sub

profiteers completely absorbed this
