Three Victims of
Slow Justice Are
Freed by Judge
Ono in Tombs Thirty Days
Because of Lost Papers:
Others Up for Trial Y
Times Without Action

Three victims of the laws halting
processes who have been demanding ac-
ton with unceasing camor obtained
release yesterday.
Judge Alfred j, Talley in General
Sessions ordered Tomhs Prison doors
opened forthwith in the case of
Charles Mason. fifty years old. of 32l
West Fortieth Street, who had spent
thiry days in jail because papers or
dering his release were lost.
Mason was arrested in October for
alleged violation OF the prohibition
law having had bottle of whiskey in
his pocket when searched by detec-
tive. Magistrate Tobias in West Side
Court held Mason for the grand jury,
which failed to indict him. and his re-
lease was ordered. Ever since, the
prisoner said in court yesterday, he
has been trying to convince his iailers
he was being illegally held. Yesterday
the matter was brought to Judge Tai
leys attention and the court ordered
Mason sent home.
Simultaneously in General Sessions
Judge Joseph F. Mulqueen dismissed
the bail bonds of Henry Draverman,
500 Fox Street, the Bronx, and Hyman
Edsol, of 134 Bowery, who had ap-
p@red for trial seventy y-two times,
only to discover on each occasion that
the District Attorney was too busy to
trY them.
The men were arrested for alleged
larceny of $4,000 worth of merchandise
from downtown loft. Both told the
court they had spent most OF their
time since the arrest preparing for the
various trial dates and asked that the
case be no longer delayed
In discharging the bail of $500
each Judge Mulqueen remarked that
he had never heard of a more ridicu-

Max Schnur. of 90 South Ninth Street,
Brooklyn, went around to Suffolk and
Delaney streets last night to collect
the balance due him on a saloon at
that address which he sold last week,
and then dropped in at saloon at 2
Suffolk Street which he sold several
months ago.
He had been in the place only few
minutes when four men entered Three
Of them went to the bar and ordered

The man by the door placed his hand

HIS hand gripped revolver when it
left his hip and at the same moment
the other three presented revovers at
the four or five men in the saloon.

Schnur nervously, turning pocket

The holdup men paid no attention to
T.apati or any one else except Schnur.
They ignored the bills which lay at his
feet. One of them thrust hand in the
ex-saloon keepers hip pocket and drew
out nine 81 900 bills, the money he had
received for his saloon.
Without searching further they
backed out of the place and ran to an
automobile in Seward Park. which sped

was still a fOndling, can be attributed
aptly to the habits of certain veneer
able gentlemen of the city who in
their youth were wont to disport and
regale themselves. The Eighteen
Mile hill, many miles short of that
length, came by its name not only be-
cause of the toll house, but also a
road house located Is miles from the
early-day stage depot. The name has
survived as a Nemesis for tourists,
but the road house has gone the way
of time-imposed decadence. 1t was
conducted by West Mccall, a famous
old fellow, whose sons are now prom
inent citizens of Whitehall, and was
f~requented by Butte business men
who occasionally. even in those days,
styled themselves tired business
men, and sought convivial %surcease
from business worry and care.
Spent Thousands on Road
Gone are the days of the road house
and toll house, of the Indian, the
trapper and the prospector, but not
so the road and it's service. With a
vision of a bigger Butte and a reali-
zstion of the imperative need of good
roads leading to the city, Davis UNI
dertook at his own personal expense
to make a real road of the old trail.
In the cause of good roads he spent
in the vicinity of $4,000 on the road,
to be known from now on as the
Davis grade.
The work done by him was virtual
ly the last of the early pioneering,
when steam shoyels, ditching ma
chimes and team-hauled graders were
unheard of. Construction crews then
took particular pride in being hard
boiled" and in having their camps
designated as 'roughneck camps"

CALLATIN FARMER
is WHEAT KING"
WORLDS MOST COVETED AGRI-
CULTURAL HONOR COMES TO
MONTANA SOLDIER-FARMER
Walter S. Kraft, Young Farmer,
Grows Wheat Which Takes High
est Award in Sweepstakes at Inter-
national Grain Show at Chicago
Recently.

When the war ended Walter S.
Kraft packed his uniform in moth
balls, hung his record of honorable
service in the United States army
on the wall and started the battle
of making a living from his Gala
tin valley farm. A few days ago
he was crowned wheat king of
the world at the international hay
and grain show in Chicago upon
the showing made by his dry-land
marquis wheat.
For the third time a Gallatin farm
er has shown the superiority of Mon
tana grain, and the worlds wheat
cup will Don stand beside those won
in barley and oats in previous years.
The winnings at Chicago are the
elimination of a successful season
for this Montana soldier-farmer. The
grain was selected last August to
represent its division in the GalIatin
county exhibit at the state fair. 1t
brought home the blue ribbon, and
was instrumental in helping Gala
tin county win first place in all
grains. The Midland Empire fair at
Billings came next, and the Kraft
wheat took first prize in the marquis
division.
While the Billings fair was being
held the Northwest hay and grain
show at Pendleton, Ore, was in prog
ress, so another sample of the same
wheat vas sent west, coming home
with first honors for the third time.
Over All the World
At Chicago the Kraft wheat was
awarded first in its division and won
sweepstakes for the best wheat of
any variety in the world. The world
wheat trophy is the most coveted
honor a wheat grower may possess
and it has been held for the past two
years by j. c. Mitchell of Dahinda,
Saskatchewan.

From this age of gasoline with
everything from flivver to Rolls
Royce to the time when the Indian,
trapper, trader and early prospector
had his glorious inning, may seem a
far cry, but nevertheless it is in the
mind Of the early pioneers of Butte
to recall the years when the Davis
grade was a mere o%ne-horse trail,
tracked only by the shod foot of man
or beast.
Yesterday ii was that: today it is
in process of reconstruction, and to-
morrow, completely made over, OBJ
literating and effacing all but recol-
lections that may have been had of
its past, it will be one of the best
stretches of highway in Montana.
Road Nearly Completed
One hundred working days allotted
for its transformation from a rugged,
precipitous mountain trail, not with
out attendant dangers in negotiating
if brakes failed TO hold, to a modern
and scientifically graded highway
have almost expired, and the work
is nearing completion. Next year the

time 1T was sent to Chicago. Ths
Kraft wheat tested 63.6 pounds to the
buShe1. Canadian wheat on exhibit
tion at the International show was
heavier, weighing 64.7 pounds, but
the exhibit was made up OF smaller
kernels than the Montana material.
Kraft is married and has two chill
dren. He was in the army 10
months, and was one of the first
GaIlatfn county men to enlist when
war was declared. He was overseas
mine months with the Ndnety-ffrst Dir
vision.
Before the war he farmed with his
father, but upon returning home pur-
chased the 1872 acres of land on which
the winning grain was raised. The
Kraft family has lived in the Gala
tin for II years, having farned in
Montgomery county, Ill, bef0ne that
time.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-12-15

Mr. Kraft did not realize that he
was growing prize-winning wheat,
and it is with genuine modesty that
he takes his throne. Fol- the last 10
years his father has been raising
crops from the same seed, and never
attempted to exhibit of the re-
suits. This year when the Gallatin
county fair exhibitor asked for a
sample of the grain to show at the
state fair, he was told to help himself.
Prepared by Student
The winning exhibit was prepared
by Melvin Conklin of Oswego, Mont,
a senior in agriculture at the Mon.
state college. Conklin had com.

The Federal Bureau of Education includes
in its rules to promote health among the Nations
school children, the warming that children should
not drink coffee or tea.
The reason is well known. Coffee and tea
contain drugs which stimulate and often over
excite the nerves, and so upset health.
The harm is by no means confined to chill
dren, as any doctor can tell you.
If health is valuable to childhood, it is va1u-
able always. If harm to health should be avoided
until bodies grow up, is it worth taking a chance
with health when bodies have grown up?

cereal beverage, Postum, with any meal, and be

without harm in Postum.

bers attempted a holdup and in the
ensuing fracas one mar was killed.
The entire crew of so was then taken
in custody by the sheriff and march
ed to town for lodging overnight in
the county Jail. After this interlude
road construction commenced in ear
nest, and was done with shovel and
pick, the only tools of modern in
vention at the time.
Recognition of Davis generous con-
tribution to good roads work was
given, altogether unexpected by him,
at a meeting of the Automobile club
December %, 1911. At that gather
ing, attended by 100 autoists and
presided over by Admiral Eugene
Carroll, a large and expensive loving
cup was presented to Davis as a
token for his efforts for goods roads.
On the cup, a possession highly priz-
ed by Davis, was the following in
scription. Presented to Andrew j.

At the meeting county commission

in a period of five years more work

PROMISES BEST RACES.
State Fair Trotting Superintendent Has
Plans Well i'm Hand g..

MONTPELIER, May 23.-The execu-
tive committee of the Vermont State
fair commission met at the state house
Friday and perfected some of the plans
for the 1921 event which will take place
at White River Junction on the state
fair grounds Oct 3. t. : and 6.
G. l.. Stewart, president of the commits
sion. presided.
Secretary Fred l.. Davis reported that
the tearing down of the old cattle barns
NJ the entrance to the grounds was well
along and that the work on the barns
to be used for the housing of the cattle
this season would be completed in a
few weeks.
The contract for the advertising of
the fair was closed at this meeting. Supt.
Gordon of the trotting horse department
has the affairs of this feature of the fair
well in hand, and he states that the
schedule will be the best ever run off on
the state fair track.
1t is the expectation of the members
of the executive committee that the fair
will be even more attractive and extern
sive than in former years. There will be
several special features that promise TO
appeal strongly to the public.

ida, and have the advantage of the West
ern Unions wide distributing power in
the United States.
This would mean that all messages col
lected throughout the United States would
be sent through Miami and on to South
America through a British company, thus
taking away much of the business which
the All-American Cable Co. has been get
ting from the United States, because it
has been the only direct cable company
reaching South America.
Secretary Hughes has thus far refused
TO take sides as between the All-American
Gable Co. or the Western Union. When
lac discovered the Western Union ques-
toned the executive power, he promptly
set about to get that power. Now the
President has the right to grant or revoke
cable permits and to specify conditions
under which cables may be landed. The
All-American Cable Co. has said that il
the Western Union used its influence
with the British company affiliated with

coast removed, there would be no obiec-
tion to the landing Of the cable at Miami
In the end there will probably be another
cable TO South America through Miami

chances are the American government will
now lay conditions that will not destroy
the All-Ameriean Gable Co.'S business
opportunity.
