WOULD HALT BUYING
OF CONGRESS SEATS
Corrupt Practices Bill Passed By
Senate Limits Campaign
+ Expenses.

Corrupt practices Legislation, which
would make it illegal for any candi-
date for the Senate to spend more
than $4,000, or any candidate for the
House to spend more than 5000 in
general election, has been passed in
the Senate without record vote.
Senator Atlee Pomerene, of Ohio,
who led the fight for the unseating of
Senator Truman H. Newberry, of
Michigan because of admitted expen-
ditures in the primary campaign of
more than 100000, was the author
Of the bill.
The new legislation, however,
would not prevent repetition of such
expenditures as were made to Obtain
the nomination for Mr.. Newberry, be
cause it deals only with general cleo
tions and not with primaries.
A special subcommittee of five
members to draft legislation to pre-
vent corrupt practices in primary
campaigns has been appointed by
Senator William P. Dillingham;, of
Vermont, chairman of the Committee
on Privileges and Elections and Sena-
tor Pomerene has been named as
one of it's members.
No legislation seeking to limit ex
penditures in primaries will be at
tempted in the present session of
Congress. Most Of the primaries tc
which any limitations might be made
TO apply have been held this year, but
the general legislation to prevent
"slush funds" will be introduced in
the next session of Congress.
Efforts will be made to avoid the
features of the old Corrupt Practices
act which resulted in its being declar-
ed unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court in the Newberry case.
The bill passed by the Senate would
subject candidate for office, who
exceeded the limitations proposed in a
general election, to fine of $1,000
and a years Imprisonment.
Senator Walter E. Edge, of New
Jersey, made an unsuccessful effort
to exclude from the figures named
money spent for newspaper advertis-
ing. The Edge amendment was re-
jected without roll call.
81 am glad" said Senator PIONEER
enc, when his bill was under consid-
Grafton, "that subcommittee has
been appointed to prepare legislation
on the whole subject of campaign eX
penditures.
81 believe it is a good thing to have
campaign money expended through
committee. Whatever is authorized
10 be expended should be expended by
responsible committee and that
committee should report all money
received and from what sources, as
well as all moneys expended and for
what purposes.
"Under present conditions any a
mount of money may be expended, if
it is done by an individual rassocia
ton or corporation not connected di-
rectly with the candidate or the cam
paign.
81 am a candidate for the Senate.
l propose to make a report of any
expenditures, whether this bill be-
comes law or not. shall be glad
to see enacted law which will make
certain there will be no question a
bout it."

Trial of Mrs. Lillian Weber, ar.
rested Thursday on a charge of cruelty
to children, was begun before a jury
in Justice of the Peace G. A. Wilson's

Mrs. Weber was arraigned before
Justice Shields Friday morning, when
she pleaded not guilty to specific
charges of cruelty to two little girls,
filed against her in a complaint sworn
out by John T. Hetherington, deputy
state humane officer. 1t was said in
the complaint that Mrs. Weber had
severely beaten the little girls that
we're entrusted to her care.
In asking for n change of court
venue, Mrs. Weber charged that just
ice Shields was prejudiced against her
from the start and before proper evil
dence had been produced In the case.
She is represented by Attorney W. +.
OLeary. Assistant County Attorney
J. j. Wuerthner is conducting the
prosecution.
Hetherington testified that the little
girls were covered with blue marks
when they we're taken away from Mrs.
Weber and returned TO the state or
phan's home at Helena Thursday. Mrs.
Brown of the orphans home testified
to virtually the sam thing.

Boys Make
5000 Mile Trip in
Sixteen Days Travel

According to word received by Abe
Wallenstein from New York, VIII
liam L. W~allenstein, his son, and
Julien Mcnamara of this city reached
the eastern metropolis Thursday aft
ernoon at 4:30 after a drive over
land of just 5000 miles, as told by
their speedometer.
Wallenstein and Mcnamara left
Great Falls for the east on Septem-
Der 3 at $50 in the morning, driv-
ing in a Studebaker light six sedan.
Their first jump was to Billings, in
one day, and the car was pointed on
from there through Aberdeen, s. D.,
and thence on east. It was in the
vicinity of Aberdeen that the only
poor roads of the entire trip were
encountered One puncture, the only
trouble on the trip, also happened
at Aberdeen.
They took advantage of the Mime
sofa State fair when in st. Paul,
negotiated a swing north to Milwau-
kee, down to Chicago, and took in
Niagara Falls on the next jump east.
At Toledo they were joined by ST.
mon Silverman of Great Falls, who
continued the trip on to New York
with them. The roads between To-
ledo and New York were declared to
be on a par with pavement of the
best sort.
W%allenstein plans to locate in New
York, going into business there.

Immediate activity in carrying out
plans formulated for the expansion OF
the Great Falls Gas company was or
dered by William A. Baehr of Chicago,
president, Monday, and actual opera
tions were begun Monday noon.
The operations to be carried out
this fall will be largely in extension
of mains and will be in part depend
ent upon weather conditions. The
work to be done this fall includes the
extension of the mains on Eighth alley
street, and Eighth alley south from
Sixth to Tenth street. Ninth alley
north mains will be extended from
Ninth street and Ninth avenue to
Fourth street north. -.
On the west side, the mains will
be laid some 1000 feet on Second
alley south. On the east side of the
First avenue north bridge, but a
length or two of pipe will be needed to
connect with the main laid In the
bridge at the time of construction.
The company. desires to make the
extension Of the mains to Boston
spurs will be built to supply this
district, but the main that will be ex-
tended to meet this trade has not yet
been decided upon.
First Crew Employed
Following the orders for immediate
operations, Monday, General Manager
s. D. Fletcher of the gas company set
a crew at work and they were hired

AUTOMOBILES
FORFEITED TO
US BY COURT
Bourquin Denies Claims of In.
tervenors in Winton and
Cole Cases. Z

The United States became richer by
two automobiles Monday when Judge
George M. Bourquin in federal court
handed down decisions ordering for
feited two cars, the first a Winton six
taken at the time of the arrest of
John Puutio, and the second a Cole
eight taken at the time of the arrest of
William S. Kile. Both were being
used for the transportation of liquor.
The Winton was claimed by the Magma
Banking company and the Cole by
George Myllamaki of Butte.
Cases Are Important
The cases were considered impor-
tant, since, in granting the forfeiture,
Judge Bourquin ruled out the claims
of intervenors.
In the Kile case, the decision of the
judge read in part: {
1T is admitted that the auto was
used by Kile to remove intoxicating
liquor with intent to defraud plaintiff
of taxes thereon.
"Intervenor banking company con.
tends the auto is not subject to for
fixture % because the statute sec.
act; (2) because its vendee, Peterson,
"LOhSlutsS " IL odtO W AAhC Al
the latter used it as aforesaid without
the i~ntervenor's knowledge or consent.
"The first contention has heretofore
been otherwise determined by this
court and the second likewise held to
afford no defense. If aggrieved, in
t%ervenor can appeal at a minimum of
expense"
Court Suggests Appeal
The second case, which developed
the story of the man who sold boots
and had ambitions to sell booze, when
it was tried in court, was that in which
Puutio had borrowed $1,400 on the car
from his friend, George Myllamaki of
Butte.
In language similar to that Of the
first decision, the court finds for the
government in the forfeiture and
closes:
'@The views of this court are out of
harmony with some federal courts, but
will be adhered to until overruled. 1t
would be an inexpensive matter to
appeal some one of this courts deter
limitations to the ninth circuit court
Of appeals"

STATE FAIR SPECIAL SURE
FOR NORTHERN MONTANA DAY
Four Hundred Persons Can Be Accommodated on
Train; VIII Make Round Trip to Helena
on Wednesday.

also made by the railway officials that
Great Falls will be the only city OF
Montana to send a special train to the
fair.
The special train will consist of five
coaches and a baggage car, or enough
to accommodate 400 persons with
surety of a seat for everyone. From
the prospect of the reservation al
ready made, there is a possibility that
there may be almost this many make
the trip, according to j. s. Book, gen.
eral agent of the Great Northern.
Leaves at 7:i5 A. M.
The train will leave Great Falls at
Ills Wednesday morning and arrive
in Helena at 1920. Stops will be
made in Cascade and Wolf Greek. The

8 o'clock from Helena and arrives in
Great Falls at IL o'clock. To assure
the train for Great Falls, the CONNER
cial club signed the guarantee for 10
for the special train.
Through the cooperation of the en-
ployers of the members of the Munlc-
ipai band, virtually the entire band will
make the trip to Helena, a group of
"a pieces headed by Charles Bye, the
leader. The band will leave for Hele-
ma this morning and will be at the
station on Great Falls day to meet the
special. 1t will head the procession
through the business district that will
the arrival of Great Falls
residents at the fair.
Business Houses Respond
The response of business houses to
the special train plan has been good,
the merchants association committee
announced, and virtually all stores and
offices will be closed Wednesday.
In addition to the many persons to
go to the fair by the special, the
number of automobile parties will be
especially if the roads continue
good between Great Falls and Helena.
Leaders of the Great Falls day plans
are confident that the city will have a
representation not to be eQualed by
any other city Of the state.

DEMOCRATS SEE
PARTY VICTORY
ALLOVERS ESTATE
Defeated Primary Candidates
Urge Unity in Fall
Campaign.

THE democrats of Cascade county
have Just as good timber for each
office to be filled at the next election
as the republicans have, and / con-
slider it the duty of every democrat
TO support the ticket of his party
from top to bottom" George w.
Merkle of Belt, defeated candidate for
the democratic nomination for state
senator, told the democratic county
central committee Monday night. A
crowd which more than filled the seat
ing capacity of the committees head
quarters in Johnson hotel attended the
meeting.
A similar statement was made by
candidate for the state senatorial
nomination. IF we unite as soldly
behind our county ticket as the demo-
Gratis of the state are united behind
the candidates for national and state
office" he said, there will be a demo-
cratic landslide this fall"
Finance Committee Named
J.. NJ. Ryan. president of the North
ern National bank, S. r. Jensen, re-
tired capitalist, and G. II. Stanley,
architect, were appointed to the fin
ance committee by Chairman George
w. Harper. It is expected that q
campaign fund sufficient to thorough
" canvass the county will be raised.
Both Judson and Harry B. Mitchell,
state committeeman, reported on the
state committee meeting held in
Helena a week ago last Wednesday.
1T was the best convention since
the primary system has been in prac-
tice in this state said Mitchell.
There is no division of sentiment
within the party and the enthusiasm
for the national and state ticket sur
passes any the democrats have had in
any campaign for years. The demo-
cratic platform devotes considerable
spaces TO national issues, q matter
which the state republican platform
didn't dare to discuss. The demo-
cratic platform also has considerable
to say about state issues, pledging
economy and several other reforms
so far as its legislative candidates are
concerned.
States Expenses Grow
1.-THE democratic taxpayers Of the
state agree with a great mass of re-
publican taxpayers that altogether too
much unnecessary expense is being in
Cured by the present administration
In running the states affairs.
st is conceded among republican
that B. K. Wheeler has the better OF
the race for the United States senate
and it only remains for the democrats
to hold the lead they have in this and
our ticket will be elected by an over
whelming majority"
Several requests were made for O
speech from s. j. Cowley, candidate
for state legislature, but he declined,
Chairman Harper explaining that Mr..
CowIey's forensic talents were to be
held in reserve for the many mass
meetings planned later in the cam
paign.
Following adjournment, there was q
meeting of the executive committee to
consider a tentative schedule of meet
ings to be held throughout the county.

said that il the frost is late it will
be possible to get a large part OF this
and perhaps all of it laid this fall,
making this much less to be done In
the operations next spring.
II also was announced that some
of the new equipment for the plant
NAV be installed this fall. In speak
ing of this, Baehr said that he is now
considering the possibility of an entire
re~modeling of the plant, which may be
done when new equipemnt Is ordered.
This also may be necessitated by
plans of the company for the use OF
the best Montana Goals in its process
instead of the Utah coal now being
purchased. Baehr is enthusiastic in
plans for the utilization of only Mon
tana materials in gas production and
said that if necessary. the entire
manufacturing process will be rebuilt
to make this possible, confident that
such q move will prove a profitable
O
Baehr now is giving some attention
to mines of the state which are said
TO produce a coal which may be adapt
ed to gas manufacture. Experiments
will be made in an attempt to handle
this coal economically. -.
The indications that there will still
be considerable open weather largely
prompted the speed with which devel-
opment plans are being carried out,
Baehr said The laying of mains and
such plant changes as are made this
fall will greatly facilitate the more ex-
tensive development plans of next sea
son. The company has little hope
that there will be extensive connec-
tons with the new mains this fall,
but feels that the placing of lines
ready for the spring demand of house
owners will be worth while.
