Lack of Interest il Proposed
Form Again sEvidenred BY,
Small Attendanee
CHARTER COMMISSION 81,
! NEEDS MORE BACKING
No Definite Action Likely 70
(, Result From Meeting Of III
? Only Few Citizens ssi:3,

Lack Of interest. in the proposed
city charter was. again evidenced .hy
the small attendance at the mass
meeting called for Monday eveningsat
the rooms Of the. Civic and Commence
association. Although, the session
failed to be a mass meeting in thu
true sense: of the word, those pre-
sent evidenced plenty Of Interest," In
one way and another, but the city
charter commission feels that it must
have a stronger recommendation
than that of a few interested citi-
zens if the commission is to continue
its work and prepare for a vote
another proposed charter in the near
future. 1a,-l;.,''. III y I, rs. ~. ;. ri
The recommendation of the Meet
ing Monday evening was that a new
proposed torn be prepared and sub
mltted to the voters at the general
election to be held November Z, when
it isstelt that the vote cast will be
representative OF the wishes OF the
majority Of the people. " -. ~.
3, Arguments pro and con (mostly
"con'' as one fellow expressed ~
were presented at this meeting ana
NUMBER OF good points were brought
but. However, the main feeling sot
the entire session was that the BE-
midi tax rate must be reduced IN
some way and reduced quickly. s ~
Lack Of interest is believed to ba
the main reason why the last vote
on a proposed charter tailed TO Scaf-
ny, and 1t still seems apparent that
the commission Will do nothing furth-
or until this lack OF interest has Been
overcome decidedly. Just what action
will now be taken is d matter OF con
lecture. Some present at the meet
ing felt that there is nothing Ike
taxing chance and that city aiffaits
under a new charter Of the city NAH
ager type could at least be no woi1e
Ifan they are now. Others insisted
upon being shown what benefits iii
collars ana cents would be assuret
by the passage of such a charter. :lli
any event, it is felt that the city
would at least receive more value
for it's money under the proposed
form, even though the manager did
not save his salary in actual dollars
and cents. ~, - j5,.s%,
Another strong opinion OF THE
meeting was that the. proposed city
charter had been prepared by very
representative bouy of citizens ma
taxpayers, these persons having giys
en- hours and hours Of their TING 2tp
the subject every week for a peisQf
Of six months in an effort to Help,
the city. That the city as q fwhtls
should abide by the efforts Of these
persons, members Of the cornnissiptL
was strongly expressed by several ;0f;3
those attending the meeting. %sta IN.
1t is very doubtful if any definite;
action will result from this meettnkI
since it was poorly attended. How
ever, if the proposed charteris totBH
voted on at the general election soIn&
definite steps must be taken at ONCE

Never since the enactment Of the ab-

T. Moran said Saturday, after a large
number Of voters had cast their pre-

Of two years ago when there was a
general urging of all voters to exercise
their franchise amassed enough absent
voter ballots to equal the number al
ready cast for the coming election.
It is estimated that at least 800 alb
sent voter ballots will have been cast
by Monday evening at 5 o'clock, which
concludes the period allowed for pre-.
election voting, Officials say that it
the voting by absent ballot is an index
to the amount Of interest held in the
election, there will be IN almost record
breaking number of votes cast on No
vember Z.
Almost every day of the past week

cants for the ballots. More than 300
have been mailed t 0 rural voters and
it is estimated that almost the same
number have already voted in the

CRIMINAL FILES
OF CREATFALLS
RECORD CRIME
Police Lists Showing Low
Down. on Northwest Grim
inaIs Hits High Average.

With the addition of an average OF
$50 criminal files q month, coming from
all Of the important cities in the west,
northwest and western Canada, the
Identification bureau Of the Great Falls
police department is rapidly becoming
an important curse of information for
those who desire the low down on
those persons who have made criminal
history in this part of the country.
Although one of the youngest bu-
reaus in the state, the Great Falls bu-
a under the management of Inspec-
tor Ray S. Gaunt, has become known as
possessing the most complete files of
any In Montana. Through IN exchange
system practiced by all members of the
International Association Of Identified
ton. the local bureau is constantly
building up its records of those Grimm
ais known to be operating in the west
and northwest.
In October Inspector Gaunt received
40 criminal files, the largest monthly
quota since the bureau has been estab-
lished. The bureau nov has II, 1852 files
which includes finger prints, Bertillon
measurements and past records. Among
the large cities on the Great Falls ex-
change list are San Francisco. Los
Angeles. Oakland. Seattle, Tacoma, Re
no, Spokane. Portland, Victoria, b. O.,
Vancouver, Lethbridge, Alta, Regina,
Edmonton, Calgary and the state prls-
ons Of Montana. Idaho. Wyoming and
North Dakota. The Great Falls bu-
reau. in turn, sends duplicates Of its
files to other members Of the exchange.
Only a few criminal files are received
from eastern cities. This is due to the
fact. said Inspector Gaunt, that eastern
criminals do not as q rule leave their
usual haunts and hence Information
concerning themsis not vital to western
bureaus, Few bad men of the cast
come west because they would be han
dicapped by the lack of friends and ig-
norance of the LAY of the iand,' said
Gaunt. But the western criminal. once
he gets "mugged'' and finger printed is
always in grave danger of having his
past revealed when he least wants ii.

ELLISON'S RECITAL

Scotch Baritone and Assist

Grand in Unique
Program.

Glen Ellison, Scotch baritone, as
sisted by Alta Hill, pianist. Thurs
day night gave the audience, which
filled every seat in the Grand OPP
era House, a musical program that
will long be remembered not only
for the quality of voice and artistic
ability displayed, but for the unique
manner in which the event was pre-
scented. Both Mr.. Ellison and Miss
Hill possess charming personalities

and therefore more popular than
the average musical program. went

rare.
Mr.. Ellison's clear, sweet bari
tone was enhancing. his under

captivating and his versatility was
amazing. He ranks as an artist.

heard this season. but he was able
to do more than any artist has done
here this year-he sang duets with
himself. This almost impossible
feat was made possible by the use
Of r~e-creations of his voice on an
Edison photograph which were
played during several of his num-
bers.
One or two of Edison's tone tests,
by which he compares the recording
of the artists voice or instrument
with that of the work of the living
artist before ones eyes, have been
heard in this city before. but Eli
sons comparisons of his living voice
with his voice re-created by the
Edison differed from the former
tone-tests in that he used catchy
airs and songs and songs that We're
full of Scotch brogue and necessarily
more difficult to sing in unison and
carry the tempo and harmony per-
fectly all the time. During these
comparisons the audience could not
detect the slightest difference be
tween the original voice and that
re-created by the Edison.
He would stop occasionally. per-
hitting the phonograph 70 do all

the fact that his lips were not NOV

PLANS Of FRANCE
REMAIN IN DOUBT
MAY NOT JOIN CONFERENCE AT
THE HAGUE-PREMIER WOULD
HAVE STATUS OF PROPOSED
MEETING WELL UNDERSTOOD
ADVANCE

Paris, May 30.-Premier Poin-
care, it was stated in well informed
quarters this evening, will recon-
mend to the chamber of deputies
that France abstain from participa-
tion in the conference at The
Hague on Russian nffair unless it is
well established in advance that the
discussion will take place between
experts as distinguished from diplo-
mats.
The term experts, as understood
in this connection excludes both dip
lomats and political leaders. 1t is
known, for instance, that M. Poin-
care does not regard Foreign Minis
ter Chicherin Of Russia as an ex-
pert.
Three eventualities are being
considered by the French govern
ment. Full participation in case the
economic character of the confer
ence is assured, provisional partici'
patton from June Is until it ap-
pears from week of conference
whether it will keep out of politics,
with retirement before the arrival
of the Russians if politics creep in,
and in this case the sending of an
eye witness such as the United
States sent to Genoa.
1t is expected that the chamber
will give Premier Poincare free
hand. with the assurance that par
lament will support him if he finds
that the arrangements for The
Hague meeting do not give sufficient
guarantees that it will be a mere
continuation of the Genoa confer
ence.
