FAMOUS FRENCH
BAND TO VISIT
Contract Backed by Commercial
Club and Manager Steege
Brings Big Attraction.

Great Falls people are to hear the
famous French army band that is tour
ing America. The band will come to the
Grand opera house for just one per-
formance, on Thursday evening. March
~. That was assured yesterday, when
NJ. Armitage. authorized representative
of the French American Association for
Musical Art. of New York city, signed
a contract with William Steege. manager
of the Grand, after the Great Falls Com
mercial club had agreed to get behind
the proposition and make it success.
1t takes a guarantee Of $500 to get the
band for one engagement, and that has
been provided. 1t is not travelling as a
money making proposition, but to raise
funds for French charities. and no thea
ter managers are making any money out
of the appearance of the band. 1t is Sc
cured at the various points chiefly by
guarantees provided. as in this city. by
the business interests.
The band is composed Of musicians o.
rare talent. and every one of them ha,
gained a war decoration by service a.

ously for slightly less than IA years in
a number of capacities and with entire
satisfaction to the city and his superiors.
1t had been his intention to continue as
night jailor until May > next. which date
VIII be the fourteenth anniversary of his
first employment with the department,
but the attack that terminated in his
passing prevented him from realizing his
ambition to round his period of service
in even years.
Bob" Blee was first appointed patrol
man in 1903, during the Ewing admins
tration, and served in that capacity and
as city detective under former Chief
Robert Pontet and Chief Marcus Ander-
son until a short time ago. His last po-
sition was that of night jailor. being
transferred to this duty when it became
necessary to place a man in charge Of
the police records He was of towering
build and made an imposing figure in his
uniform, commanding the respect of the
citizenry and his associates by his
straightforward manner and his DISPOSE
ton to be fair in his dealings and the
discharge of his duties. BY other mem
bers of the force he was commonly re-
ferred to as "square-shooter" and
there have been few officers in Great
Falls who numbered among his acquant-
ances a greater number of personal
friends.
Prior to entering the service, Mr. Blee
followed the railroad business Twenty
nine years ago he was trainman at
Tacoma, Wash, and was at that time
an acquaintance of Jailor Otto Rjorn-
stad, with whom he was associated all
the time he was with the local depart
ment. The two men were warm friends.
Jailor Bjornstad yesterday referring

fcelingly to the attachment that existed
between himself and the veteran officer.
Only two men now with the department
were in the service of the city when
Jaiior Blee first donned uniform.
These, are Marcus Anderson. present
chief and Blee's best friend, Jailor
Bjornstad. All other members have
joined the force since Mr.. Blee was ap-
pointed in 1905.
Jailor Blee habitually was Unconditional,
but it was only short time before his
death that those who knew him best
observed how his indispOsition to be
demonstrative yielded before his grief
over the death of his son, Robert J.
Blee. Jr, in France. The son was killed
in action last August, his father learn
ing of the fact some months later. and
those who were most intimate with the
old gentleman for the first time saw him
give way to his feelings as he read the
message. He is survived by two sisters
residing in New York; by one daughter
by former marriage, who is now living
in Cleveland. Ohio: the widow and six
younger children. the latter all of this
city. He was in his 9th year and was
a native of Ohio.
Deceased could probably have quail
fled as the wealthiest police officer in
Montana. During his residence here he
accumulated considerable property, be-
coming owner of a number Of houses on
the south side. One of his sisters is the
widow of millionaire sulphur mine OPP
orator and remembered the jailors
birthday by sending him check for
$500.
No funeral arrangements were an
nounced yesterday, but at the police sta
ton plans were laid for department
members to attend the services in uni
form and act as an escort to the body.

up with the fine weather up to now and
at present he is no doubt entitled to
what he can get in the line of business,
according to most people. The coal
wagons are being filled and unloaded
rapidly this week and if the cold tenn
perature does not letup the coal dealers
are slated to make up for lost time, or
rather. lost weather.
SO on the whole, while the weather
may be too cold to please most folks

partment for the cancellation of the IL
cei.se"
Demanding that as the country now
has a roll Of honor composed Of It's sons
who sacrificed themselves in the war, II
needs also n roll OF dishonor composed
OF the pronteers who seized the ma
tional emergency as an opportunity to
anlass great profits, Senator Walsh,
(Ns ss.) to-day introduced a resolution
demanding that the income tax reports
OF pronteers be made subject to pub
liclty.
Mr.. Walsh wants the right authorities
givensaccess TO these reports and 10 the
facts regarding dollar a year men" and
others who held Government contracts
and earned large profits during the war
period He would have all this infor-
nation turned over to the Senate COM
mittee that Is investigating the high cost
OF living. He said in connection with
his resolution:
I'm my opinion the chief causes Of
the present high cost of living are {:
Profteering. avoidable waste in produc-
ton and in distribution. and unneces-
sary exporting of foodstuffs and other
necessities OF life for the sake OF larger
profits
The purpose of the amendment Of
fered by me to Senator Owens's reeolu-
ton Is to make the inquiry into profit
eering as a cause OF the high cost OF
living more definite and specific, and
especially to make use OF the informa-
ton regarding excessive profits con-
tanned In the income tax returns, which
by law are public records, yet cannot
be inspected except upon the express
permission OF the President.
1T is believed that these returns will
show that profiteertnE has extended far
beyond the great combinations that have
been Investigated by the Federal Trade
Commission, and indeed has been far too
general to be adequately reached or pun
ished by penal prosecutions. AS drawn
the amendment does not admit of the
use OF evidence secured from income
tax returns In criminal proceedings. but
for publicity only. since in my opinion
the holding up TO public reprooatlon of
the persons and corpor ations that have
been so base as to seek TO turn the
nations dangers and distress to their
personal ADVANTAGE. whether or not they
obeyed the law In so doing. will be a
more adequate punishment and a bet
ter guarantee against future offences
than any amount OF criminal prosecu-
ton could possibly be.
The Information obtained from these
returns will assist also in preparing a
roll OF dishonor. so that the over
whelming element OF the American peo-
pie who were periodically sacrificing
during the war may know those few
who were using the occasion for enrich
ing themselves"
