VACANT HOUSES AND HOMES.

visitor sat in our office the other day and
emarked upon The scarcity Of houses for rent in |
}ozeman. He is q man of many years, one who
as been travelling over the western states for
ne past forty years, and 50 has reached that per-
ID Of mental deduction which some thinkers &C
uire
He conplimented the city upon the growth it
as experienced during the years he has been
aling here, and compared it favorably with many
Their cities in other states where the population
$ many times greater. The vacant house can be
ound in most any city, but not in Bozeman Here
is the unusual thing to see one standing unoc-
upied, and in most instances it is only vacant
7hile some repairs or alterations are being
made. Our visitor declared that where there are
0 vacant houses, or where there are but few of
hem it has been his experience to observe that
I such city there are activities and general good
.usiness conditions
BOzeman can boast Of fewer houses to be rent
d than probably any other city of its size in Mon
ana This is q city Of homes owned by those who
ccupy them. This is condition that has pre-
allied from the days when Bozenan was but
mall village. The upbuilding of the residential
ection has been a steady advancement Of home
building, and with it has gone the very laubable
9autifying Of the adjacent thoroughfare. The
jty has been doing its share in the producing Of
Oulevards, shady parkways and all that can be
one to make for pleasant surroundings of the
ZONE No city can show more and very few as
much paving as Bozeman possesses in the resi-
.'ence section. The wide driveways, lined with
Treat spreading shade trees, the well kept lawns.
md the handsome residence structures, all are
~uch as to cause anyone coming to this city to
1e filled with the desire to remain.

REPUBLICAN ECONOMIES

Millions of dollars are being saved by the de-
partment chiefs at Washington in their economy
drive. Since March 1, Secretary of War Weeks
has dispensed with the services of q, TIA civilians,
cutting the total number employed from 90,106 on
that date to 68,932 on July 1. Assuming that the
average salary paid these employees was $1,000,
the reductions mean an annual saving to the gov
eminent of S25, 408,0O0 Postmaster General Hays
has served notice on every postmaster above the
fourth class to survey the work of his office and
institute economies at every possible point. 9th
er executives are similarly combing their estab-
lishments in the search for possible curtailments
in expenditures

FUNDING AUTHORITY.

The senate finance committee, by vote of 8
to s. ordered favorable report on the administra-
ton bill giving the secretary of the treasury blan-
ket authority to arrange the funding of the for
eign debts to our treasury. The only amendment
to the measure was one limiting the compile
ton Of the funding operations to five years. 1t is
predicted, however, that further changes will be
made in the bill when it reaches the floor of the
senate. Several senators are understood to have
voiced their opposition to the granting of such I'M
limited authority to a cabinet officer and to have
indicated their intention to vote against the meas
ure unless further restrictions were written into
it.

AVIATOR HAS ACCIDENT.

Early Wednesday morning as S. E.
Anderson was about to start for his
home in Billings in the airplane
which he was operating here during
the roundup, he met with a misfor-
tune that smashed the plane. AS he
and his mechanic, Dallis Elliott, were
starting, and just after leaving the
ground. the engine missed and stop
ped. They were not very high up at
the time and an attempt was made
to volplane to earth. This would
have been successfully done had it
net been uecesssr VITO circle in order
to land in the field. In doing so the
plane came in contact with a tree and
ras demolished. The two occupants
were not severely injured, only re-
ceiv;ng @ hard shaking UP and some

be wide divergence Of opinion as to the best
'ay to pick the berries. From discussions heard
over the matter it seems to be nearly as grave a
tuation as the saving Of the Armenians, or the

nat picking committee be appointed to formu-
tie adequate methods for better results and to
5tabish the value of gallon of berries. Quota
Ions now range from $500 to $500 per quart.

Elmer Spencer and F. c. Morgan
were brought back to Bozeman from
Columbus last Thursday where they
had been arrested upon the charge of
having stolen an automobile the night
before from in front of the Emerson
school house.

here with his wife to attend the
meeting of the Stae Funeral Direct

received. The trail led Columbus and
they were quickly picked up.

poses for meeting listers objec-
lions to the proposed all-Ireland

that Ulster be left temporarily as she
is. while the rest of Ireland receives
fiscal autonomy which would make

Belfast RIOT
IS RESUMED
Another Killed This Morning
Brings Total of Dead
Up to 13.

BELFAST, Nov. 23.-(By The As
ISOLATED Press)-Belfast's long list
of fatalities as a result of factional
ricting began to grow early today,
one victim being added almost al
the outset to the thirteen killed in
outbreaks attending the assumption
of governmental powers by the new
Ulster parliament yesterday.
There was comparative quiet in
the city after midnight, and the day
opened quietly. but in view of last
nights arrests. little hope was en-
tertained that this ouietude would
-be enduring. Fears of further
trouble were realized by the time
activities were on in Dock street,
foreman, who was engaging laborers
there for the shipyards. being picked
off by a sniper. The foreman whose
name was Branton, dropped dead on
tbs spot.
Meanwhile precautionary mea-
sures for safety were being taken by
the working population, workmen's
cars proceeding without lights so
that they may have better chance of
reaching their destination without
casualty.
The Sim Fein opposed strongly
any proposal which would leave VI
ster. or any part CT it, outside the
Irish system.
Ulster objects to any all-Ireland
parliament. and refuses to abandon
its representation in the imperial
parliament. 1t would only discuss
an all-Ireland parliament. it is de-
clared, on the condition that the six
counties had in such a parliament
the same representation as the re-
naming twenty-six counties.

Executive Conference
On Land Armament

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23 (By The
Associated Press) The delegations
of the five powers went into their
first executive conference on land
armament today, with the French
group hoping that the negotiations
would be pressed to the point of q
formal expression of some character
before the departure of Premier
BRAND for France.
Just what direction such an ex-
preston would take at the present
stage of the conference was uncer-
tain, even in the mind of the French
themselves, and they took their
places at the table prepared 10 shape
details of their program in the light
of suggestions from the other dele
gates The premier would like to
take home with him definite decla-
ration of the powers supporting
France in her determination not 10
weaken materially her army. but II
was recognized important obstacles
might lie in the way of so formal
pledge.
Before the meeting the French
delegates let it be known that they
would make no direct request for
precise declaration from the con-
ference, but they evinced an expec-
fancy that the other powers mlght,
on their own motion, express IN
collective written expression their
spoken views at Mondays open ses-
sion.
The land armament discussion
overshadowed momentarily develop
ments relating to the other questions
before the arms conference. al
though the naval experts continue
their work on details of the Ameri-
can rejection plan and members OF

tional data for use when the com

ern problems assemblies again late
in the day. 1t was indicated that the
Far Eastern meeting probably would
develop an effort TO include addi-
tional declarations of policies in the
Root resolution already adopted.
The assembling of the five major
delegations to consider land arma-
ment without waiting for decision
on naval reductions and the Far
East was a deviation from the con-
templated program of the confer
ence. and it is understood to have
resulted directly from the desire of
the French to put the powers on rec
ord before the departure of Mr..
BRAND.
Land armament comes far down
on the tentative agenda of the con-
ference. and the previous intention
apparently had been to let the sub
ject lie over for the present.

FOURTH WARD
RECOUNT ENDS
Start on Sixth Ward Count
Both Alderman at Large
and Alderman Vote

NEW BRUNSWICK, Novs "a
Robert A. Mcclure. Democrat, will
be the next alderman of the fourth
ward in Perth Amboy. succeeding
Chris Andersen. Republican. This
was definitely decided by the Middle
sex County Board OF Elections here
Yesterday afternoon when the re-
count of the fourth ward ballots was
completed.
In the original returns made by
the district election boards Mcclure
was credited with defeating Fred T.
Hansen. his Republican opponent. by
twenty-six votes. The results of the
recount show MCGUIRE a winner by
.hirty-one votes, not including the
re eferred votes. OF which Mcclure has
three more than Hansen. Thus Nc
Guire gained five votes as the result
of the recount.
McGuire's election has been con-
ceded by the Republicans and the
referred ballots VIII not be placed
before Supreme Court Justice James
/ Bergen for a decision as it would
be impossible for Hansen TO win even
with the referred ballots, Mcclure
having referred ballots which would
count in his favor if Hansen's votes
for the same reason.
The fourth poll of the fourth ward
the last district in that ward. was
counted yesterday afternoon, only
two ballots being referred in the en-
tire poll. There were S63 votes IN
the boxes. The original vote was:
Calvin. 100: Wester 1853; Mcclure
2o2; Hansen, 147.
The recount gave each candidate
one less than these numbers with one
vote referred in each case, the figures
being:
Calvin. 1s9 with 1 referred; Wes-
ter. 1872 with l referred: Mcclure,
a0I with 1 referred; Hansen, lao
with l referred.
On one of the referred ballots the
voter turned in a straight Republican
ticket and wrote ia the name or
sixth excise member in the personal
choice column. The referred ballot
had the "X' placed at the right OF
the name instead of in the square.
Leo Goldberger. representing the
Republicans, objected to the fact
tha. out of the 1858 names appear g
on the sheets which accompanied the
ballots only fifteen were written in
ink. the remainder being written
with pencil. Mr.. Goldberger said he
would bring this 20 the attention OF
Justice Bergen and also the fact that
clerks who had signed the sigma
lures OF voters unable to write had
failed 10 add their own initials.
