Says Williams Helped Riggs.

; The witness insisted that Mr.. Williams
had done a valuable thing for the RigSs
National Bank stockholders when he
competed the bank officials to give up
the stockbroking and real estate business
which they were conducting.
: He told the committee that SO far as
he knew Mr.. Williams had nothing to do
with the bringing Of the indictments for
perjury against the Riggs Bank officials.
That, he said, was entirely a matter Of
tho former Attorney General, Mr.. Greg
.ory. Mr.. Untermyer said that he had
mot, he thought, discussed the criminal
proceedings against bank offlcials with
Mr.. Williams, though he had done so
with the Department. Of Justice.

Untermyer in Equity Suit Only.

Mr.. Untermyer said that he repre-
scented the government only in the
charging Mr.. McAiioo and Mr.. wiz
.liams with conspiracy against the
bank. and that he was not involved
in the criminal proceedings against
the bank ofhcials.
! The witness sid that he had been
asked to act as counsel In the equity
1suit. and that he had offered to
-act without compensation because of
his friendship for Mr.. McAdoo. He
said, however, that he was paid
$4,000, $1,000 at one time and $1,000
later. He insisted that the Treasury
oficials had won in the decision of
Chief Justice Mccoy OF the District
Supreme Court in the demand for an
Injunction against. Mr.. McAdoo and
Mr.. Williams. and that the temporary
Injunction had been granted merely
because of q technical error in a de-
smand made by Mr.. Williams upon the
bank officials for certain information.

Tells What He Did Say.

Mr.. Untermyer said, however, that
he had recommended to former At
torney General Gregory that the
criminal proceedings be not insti-
tuted against the bank officials, as
perjury charges were difficult to
prove.
The officials of the bank who were
tried on perjury charges were ac-
quilted.

Mr.. Untermyer went on record as

ator Calder of New York. with the
provision that the duties OF the con-
troller be performed henceforth by

Mr.. Williams, whose nomination to

HOW ABOUT SEED
GRAIN SITUATION

Considerable interest has been a.
reused over the seed grain situation
for next spring. From some localities
the report comes that the farmers
are expecting the county to furnish
the mwith seed to put in their crops
with. However, we learn from the
Commissioners that they are not in a
position to furnish this seed unless a
special election is held to vote on the
matter. This must be by presenting
the board with petition calling for
the election signed by at least one
hundred qualified electors. We do not
not kno whow urgent the need of
help from the county will be; but if
there is any wide spread demand for
assistance from the County, action
should be taken in this direction as
soon as possible.

POPULAR COUPLE WEDs

Quite surprise was sprung on
Circle citizens about noon last Tues
day when news broke out that Man
ley D. Moline and Mrs. Lillian Arm
strong had just been married.
The happy event took place at the
Rev. Gravdal parsonage, and was wit
messed by Mr.. and Mrs. Axel A. An
derson, Rev. Gravdal officiating.
The contracting parties are both
we'll known here, the groom being a
popular and enterprising young farmer
who owns a valuable farm over on
Dinwoody prong. Manley is a real
hustler and needed a better-half to
assist him build up home Mrs.
Armstrong is also we'll known here
having resided in this section the
past couple years and a very popular
and highly respected young lady. The
past season she has kept house for
Mr. Moline and his hired man and
evidently decided to "stay on the job.

friends of the newly-weds in extending
to them our best wishes for happy
and prosperous journey through life.

CIRCLE BANKER WEEDS
AT GLENDivE

1t was reported in last weeks Ban
ner that Circleite was to get mar
ried last Saturday and we can now
tell you all about it.
1t was Max Lehman, the popular
obliging cashier of the First National
Bank of this place, who has left the
ranks of bachelorhood, and done got
married..
Mr.. Lehman being very modest
sort of fellow anyway tried to keep
the secret under his lid, and quietly
slipped away to Glendive last Friday
morning, there to wed the dear little
girl he loved best of al However
some of his friends were wise to his
little game and knew all about when
the big event was to be pulled off, and
they are now patiently and anxiously
awaiting his return, in order to give
him and bride royal welcome.
The wedding took place at the
home of Mrs. Alice Elvin at Glendive
about 500 p. m. last Saturday Nov.
29th. when Mr.. Max Lehman and Miss
Grace Mcdonald were united in mar
riage. Exact particulars as to the
wedding are lacking as we go to press
but understand although it was attend
ed by only few friends it was quite
an elaborate affair."
Shortly after the wedding had taken
place the couple departed on No. 8 to
Terry and from there took the Mil
waukee to points in the east expecting
to visit the Twin Cities and the brides
folks who reside in Wisconsin On
their return they will probably go by
the way of Crookston, Mimi, where
Mr. Lehman's folks reside.
The bride is very highly esteemed
and accomplished young lady and
well known in Circle, having visited
with friends here on several different
occasions. Recently she has held down
"a position in a bank at Spokane,
Wash. AS to the groom, he is so well
known that there is little we can say,
excepting that he is one of the live
wires of the town and as cashier of
the First National Bank has won the
respect and friendship of large num-
ber of citizens throughout McCone
county because of his obliging and
courteous manners.
We are glad to know that the
newly weds will make Circle their
future home, and will be with us in
about another week.
The Banner joins with the many
friends of the newly-weds in extending
congratulations galore.

FIREM EN- MET

The local fireman held little bust
ness meeting last Monday evening
which was attended by about dozen
members.
Matters pertaining to fire protec-
tion was discussed, after which it
was decided to ask the board of dir
ectors of the local company to engage
someone to look after the janitor work
at the firehall during the winter mon
this. This duty so far has fallen upon
the obliging chief, Mr.. Leithe, be-
cause it had to be did, The boys also
decided to do something else, and that
was to investigate all the Easements
in town (don't get nerVous) or
general inspection of all buildings in
the business districts, SO as to get
familiar with the location of all build
ings, sheds easements, etc., which
may prove of immense value in case
OF a fire.
The firemen will hereafter hold
regular monthly meeting on the Sec
ond Monday of each month, and as
call for these meetings twelve gengs-
will be given by the fire bell, so don't
get excited unless you hear the real
alarm, then its time to step lively.
Several new members we're added to
the firemen's force, but applications
will be received from several more,
if any one wishes to join.

COUNTY ASSESSOR THREATENS
TO TEST SPECIAL TAX LEVY

Helena, Nov. 29.-Paying his taxes
under protest Charles H. Martien,
Lewis and Clark county assessor,
announces his intention to test
through the courts the constitutional
ity of the special one-mill levy Great
ing a fund for the payment for the
classification of land.
Considerable agitation has result
ed throughout the state in reference
to the constitutionality of the law en-
acted by the last legislature imposing
a special tax on all real property to
provide fund for the classification of
land and Mr.. Martien declares he is
firmly convinced that the measure is
unconstitutional, especially in view of
the recent opinion of the supreme
court regarding the validity of the
classification of property under what
is known as H. B. 80.
There seems to be no uniform met
hods followed by the different coun-
ties in imposing this tax, it is said in
some counties the special levy being
imposed on farm land only: in others
on all land, town and city lots, and
in still others on all real setate and
In Lewis and Clark
county this levy applies to all land,
town and city lots, while the real pro-
perty belonging to the railroads, COM
prising the rights of way and road
beds, valued at many millions of dol
lors, was by order of the state board
Of equalization to all county clerks,
exempted, from paying this special tax
on this particular real property and
Mr.. Martien contends that if the vail
dity of the special levy is upheld by
the courts he cannot see any plausi-
BILE reason for the non-imposition of
this tax on the real property of the
railroads consisting of the rights of
way and roadbeds.
