ture is represented. These rocks ex-
tend over several miles of territory
and to describe them would tax the
pen Of a Goldsmith or a Ruskin. They
are called Medicine Rocks" from the
fact that they were once an Indian
shrine, where the redmen used to
meet and hold their conclaves and
weird dances, and the medicine men
performed their mystic rites and, as
some say, plotted against the whites.
A half century ago, before the COM
ing of the pale-face. some of these
rocks were covered with Indian cary-
ings and hieroglyphics which had a
religious significance for the abori-
gines.

Last week word came from New
York that the huge so-called Burling-
ton bond issue Of $230,000,000 Nor
them Pacific-Great Northern Joint
15-year 6 IL per cent convertible
bonds had sold like hot cakes in Wall
street, and that when the books were
closed the issue had been oversub-
scribed, probably by 10 per cent. A
spokesman for the house of ]. p.
Morgan & Co., which handled the
sale of bonds, said:
1T must be remembered that this
is a large issue and that an over
subscription of 10 per cent, which is
moderate for a small issue, would
mean $23,OO0,OOO. We are certain
that there has been no initiation in
the subscriptions. They have not
been padded in any way. II q sub
scriber wanted $1,000,000 worth Of
the bonds, he subscribed for $1,000
900. not $1,5OO,00O, knowing that he
would be cut down in the allot-
ments."

that the subscriptions in which speci-
fication has been made for the Great
Northern Railway company general
mortgage z per cent. gold bonds by
conversion have been particularly
heavy, in comparison with the joint
issue, mainly because Of the fact that
they are not redeemable by the COM
pany before maturity.
There was considerable jubilation
in the financial district over the an
nouncement that the issue had been
sold. The fact that the largest rail-
road issue in recent years had been
taken was pointed to by bankers as
a sign OF improvement, not alone in
the bond market. but in business in
general. Now that this big issue is
out Of the way. bankers are prepar-
ing for other flotations which were
temporarily laid on the shelf while
the Wall street machinery was con-
centrated on selling the Burlington"
issue.

Irrigation Outlook Is Good

With the bond market improved
and interest in irrigation district
formation picking up. it is likely that
construction work on some districts
in Montana will be under way by fall,
according to J. Winter Smith, engin-
eer for the public service commits
sion. Smith has returned from Red
Lodge, where he went over plans for
the district being developed under
state supervision. He believes that
the farmers of the state have been
pretty much converted to the conclu-
sion that irrigation is necessary and
1t is only a matter of time before
much more irrigating will be done.

Rudd Denies Robbery At
 Salit Home

Chilled by the police today con- cernning an attempted robbery at the home of Sam Salit. 227 Tough ave- nue, early this morning, William Rudd, Jr., of 404 Pembroke street, stubbornly denied that he was con- nected in any way with the affair. The young man told detectives that he had seen girl home from a dance, and was returning to his own house when he was seized by Max Lebia, of 233 Hough avenue, who saw someone attempting to enter the Salit resi- dence. In the City court the case was continued until tomorrow under s1,000 bonds, in order that the police may verify Rudd's statements.
 According to the police, an uniden- tified person attempted last night for the third time. to burglarize Salts house. The robber was seen by Max Lebda, a neighbor, and fled with Lebia tn close pursuit Rounding a corner, Lebia, came upon a man who later proved to be Rudd. He seized tho young man adn held him until a po- Iceman arrived.
 At police headquarters, where he was taken immediately after his ar- rest, Rudd told his story of taking a girl friend home from a dance at the Casino, and throughout a lengthy grilling this morning stuck reso1utely to his original statement. The police believe that the case may be one of mistaken identity.

 Angl0-Jap Pact
Acceptance of Chinese Proposals May Cause Re-

Washington. Nov. .17.-With plaud- it's of the master stroke of Saturday still echoing round the world, Charles Evans Hughes today was credited wi7h another diplomatic triumph of scarcely less importance as the full significance of China's ten proposals to the Far Eastern conference be- came apparent and the Likelihood of their acceptance increased.
 Abrogation of the Anglo-Japanese alliance was freely predicted in high official circues as an inevitable result of the acceptance of these ten gen era1 principles" laid down by the Chi nese delegation in yesterdays secret session.
 The action taken by China Is un- derstood to have been with tlle full knowledge and approbatnon Of the United States and it is known that the principles themselves are in full accord with she policy of this gov ernment toward China
 The attitude of the United Stabes toward the Anglo-Japanese alliance has been well known for some months. The statement is made on good authority that the desire for an understanding on this point was one

All Yards Needed
 Say U. s. Officers
American Proposals Do Not Suggest Scrapping Navy Yards IT British SuggeS But One Build ing Yard, and Advancement of Naval En- gineering.

If the British suggestion, wholly inforal one as yet so far as known, has to do with providing means for in suring the advancement of naval en- gineering knowledge during the pro- posed ten year holiday, there is no doubt that it will receive much ap- proval among American naval off cers. That aspect of the holiday pro- posa1 already has appealed to tech nical experts of the United States. They have assumed that this would De covered in the final form of the holiday agreement.
 One thing that many officers hope will be possible under the limitation program is that the navy can be kept in better shape at all times than was possible with the larger fleets and ex- tensiye work on new programs. This has to do. it is said, more with prep aration of plans for vessels of all types than with the actual condition of the ships afloat.
 Those are always in about about the same state of readiness it was possible to keep them. but with tech uical personnel released by their ed ucation of the navy from other tasks It is hoped that plans for all sorts of auXiliaries which would be needed in war can be kept upon a thorough iy matured scale and these vessels not be, as was the case in 1917-1S, the product of hurried planning. The question involved is one of keeping a sufficient technical force at work during the naval holiday to round out and revise the plans constantly.

Jail Tenn Suspension
 Is Revoked

Failure of brewery and a land lord to remove fixtures owned by them from the saloon of Joseph Perkowski, 390 Lafayette street, resulted in a 15- day jail sentence for the proprietor today.
 On November IT, PerkowsI1i was arraigned in the City court on charges of violating the liquor laws, and in addition to being fined $150, was or dered to dismantIe his saloon within 10 days or serve 5 days in jail. When brought into court again this morning, the saloon keeper told Judge Arthur A. Comley. that he had removed all fixtures owned by himself, but the landlord and brewery neglected to take away their property. This ex- cuse did not satisfy the court, and the suspension of the f5-day jail term was revoked.

Board Meets MondayF For
 Special Tax

The special tax to cover expected dehctts in municipal departments will be levied at a special session of the Board Of App portto nnaent next Monday afternoon. Mayor Fred Atwaber to- day signed the call for the session. The amount of the tax is in doubt but 1t is now believed that it will be necessary to levy a six mill tax instead of the five mill that was at first considered. The tax will raise, it Is planned. between s6oo.ooo and s75o, 1000
 Special appropriations will be made at the meeting Of the Apportfonnent Board for the Board of Charities to meet the uremp1oym ent situation dur ing the winter, and to meet deficits caused by the industrial depression n and to meet other detdcits that may exist or that shall necessarily be in- cu tred by any department during the current fiscal year. The appropria- = tfons in turn will be provided by the special tax.
 The Charities Department alone will require at least t300,0oo to provide funds with which to care for the destitute and needy Of the city during the winter. Requirements of other departeunts will amount to between s300.006 and 4400.0o0. At the pres ont time, it Is impossible to determine the aggregate amount that will be needed. but the various department heads are now at work compiling stateffaents for Mayor Atwater indi- eating what Is needed to place them on a sound basis and to carry them over until their new appropriations are available on April 1.

of the important underlying causes for the calling of the present confer ence, and administration officials and naval expers, are agreed that the suc- cess of the Hughes plan for the linn itation of naval armament is contin- gent upon the abrogation of that treaty.
 China is expected to be able to bring before the conference the whole question of the Ang1o-Jap alliance and it's relation to the peace of the Far East. That the pact affects China is undisputed, inasmuch as its pre- ambfa clearly states thah the "pres- ervatton of the common interests of all the powers in China is one of the objects of the alliance.
 Once the question is before the del egates it Is asserted, little difficulty
 will be experienced in demonstrating that the alliance is not only contrary
 to the spirit of the conference in that
 China was never given "an oppor- tunity to participate" but also that an offensive alliance is plainly in oppo- | sitIon to the moral implication of the
 Hughes plan for permanently fixing
 the ratio between the leading naviee
 of the world.

 One small boy of the neighb orhoo od Is said to have told Holbrook that the little Messina boy did not fall In the tub, but was pushed in by an- other boy, slightly older.

Colonel Denies
 Watson Charges
 Against A. E. F.

Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 17-Charges of unwarranted hangings of American soldiers overseas, recently made In the United States Senate by Senator Watson of Georgia were denied here today by Colonel William O. Gilbert, who had charge of death, dismissal and penitentiary cases at A. E. F. headquarters at Chaumont, France.
 ""There is not one word of truth in the tales of these actions" Colonel Gilbert was quoted as saying. If remember rightly there were about ten men executed in France" adding that the death penalty was not in f1icted except for murder and crimt- nal assault.
 eff these brutal hangings of men without trial had occurred" he said. "rumors of them would have reached our officers, even though we have no official record of such things.
 "Not one man was executed tor military offenses. There was no man more careful to see that a soldier was not executed except on proof positive of his guilt than General Pershing. He took extreme care and personally went over every case, turning down a great many of then.'

 While searching Mrs. Shows house, the raiders discovered that the gas meter had been removed, and 8 rub Der hose was being used to furnish free supply of gas for the manufac- lure of whiskey.
