claiming that Domke was as hard to-
catch as CREASED pig, due to the fact
that the mat was small and there were
no ropes. The mat used was 20 feet
by "a feet, and that is not considered
small. Ropes were not used because
the mat was not on a platform and
spectators could also watch the match
to better advantage because of the
absence of the ropes.
New seats have been added to the
reserved section and the others have
been reinforced so as to carry the

San francisco, Feb. 4.-Roscoe
(Fatty) Arbuckle has been saved from
conviction for manslaughter by two
ehOldout jurors as he was prevented
from going free at his first trial by
one, a woman.
The jury in his second trial, on
charges of having caused the death Of
Miss Virginia Rape at his Labor day
party In a San Francisco hotel, dis
agreed ten to two and was discharged
by Judge Louderback after being out

The comedian Of the films will have
to stand trial a third time, District
Attorney Matthew Brady announced.
1.-THE prosecution has conducted this
case as it would have any other case.
The attitude of the district attorney
has been that of an impartial prose-
cutor and not prosecutor" he said.
"The jury obviously gave careful
consideration to the evidence and OBJ
viously tried to arrive at a verdict.
I'm spite of my own personal con-
victions, it was my intention to be
guided by the majority of the jury.
Had the majority of the jury ia
vored an acquittal would have asked
for a DISMISSAL. Us the jury stood
ten for conviction against two for
acquittal, it is my duty to try the
case again"

WILCOX AGENT
WILL REPAIR
fire DAMAGE
$4,000 Loss on Building; Fire
Bug Probe Will Be Re-
Sumed.

The Wilcox building, Fourth street
and First avenue south, which was
Quilted by fire early Monday morning,
will be repaired and put in shape for
occupancy as soo as possible, B. P.
McNair, agent for the building. said
Saturday night.
Frank D. Wilcox, owner of the
building, is here from Payette, Ida.
and will probably remain until the
building is made ready for use again.
The extent of the work will depend
somewhat on the insurance allowed,
according to Mr.. McNair. The insur-
ance will be adjusted soon, probably
by Tuesday, he said. The damage to
the building was estimated by Fire
Chief A. j. Trodick at $4,000.
Mr.. Wilcox, who left Great Falls in
1904. is now engaged in conducting an
apple orchard at Payette.
Investigation of the cause of the
Wilcox fire, which is still unknown,
will probably be resumed the first OF
the week. 1t was continued Thursday
night while Acting State Fire Mar
shall W. B. Glendenning and Chief Tro-
dick attended funeral services at
Helena and Missoula for the late Fire
Marshal r. 8. Mentrum. Chief Tro-
dick is expected back tonight and Mr..
G~Iendenning expects to be back after
New Years day. Their two-day
investigation lessened suspicion that
had attached to n person.

Colored Musical Talent Fea-
lures Program for Holiday
Travellers.

If the entertainment at the Great
Northern station Saturday night was
for the special benefit of travellers
passing through the city, there was no
dearth of residents who gathered at
the waiting ropm to witness their en-
joyment. With the announcement that
the colored singers of the First Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal church We're
going to appear there, interest was
aroused and the singers were greeted
by a capacity audience, who were wait
ing t. hear them sing hymns and both
popular and classic numbers. Those
who took part were Mrs. John Taylor,
the Rev. and Mrs. e. c. White, Charles
Palmer. John Cole and Paul Ross.
Miss Maud Burghard, who has been
giving piano numbers at each enter
tainment throughout the week, accom-
panied them at the piano.

through new labor saving inventions,
and most of all, by devising new and
more economical means Of distributing
goods. This was not at all the situa-
ton during the business boom. Then
the man who stopped to prevent small
leaks found himself caught by the
momentous rise in prices and changes
In general conditions.
Those days have passed. They
were wild and merry while they lasted.
Now business has come back to earth.
In most industries, an excessive pro-
ducing capacity wat created. During
the boom, overhead costs were in
creased to keep up with an abnor-
NAL turnover. Today the amount Of
business has dropped back more nearly
to normal, but costs have not been
proportionately reduced. Higher wages,
higher rents, more expensive sales or
ganixation-in fact, nearly every item
Of expense is out of proportion with
the amount Of business done.
Instead Of wild gyrations in the
commodity markets, the average trend
throughout the coming year should be
more of a sidewise movement. Some
commodities are high and others are

investments it shows itself in the
speculative 1~Tket.
This brings US to consideration of
the general business outlook. Here
the situation is not greatly different
from that prevailing q week ago. The
European problem is still %unsolved.
The best that can be said is that the
part of America should be a discon-
tinuance of the constant discussion in
and out Of congress on the foreign debt
question.

No one is greatly concerned over the
faces the Turks make at Lausanne.
Even the announcement Of the dis
patch of the British fleet to the Oar
danelles was received BY the markets
with indifference. 1t will be quite
another story when any real progress
is made toward the improvement of
European economic conditions. wheth-
err that improvement is made with or
without the aid of the United States.
At home the railroads still have
their troubles. Chairman Reed of the
Kansas public utilities committee com
plains that the Atchison spends too
much money for maintenance and Sen
ator johnson of California wants rail-
roads prohibited from declaring divi-
dends unless they have spent enough
money for maintenance, although 1t is
equipment on which Mr.. Johnson lays
stress. 1t is certainly hard to please
everybody.
Meanwhile. earnings for November
generally made q better showing than
those of ths@month before and freight
loadings are the heaviest on record
for this time of the year. Probably
aside from the purely political attacks
on the railroads. their most serious
difficulty is in their inability or I'M
willingness to compose their difference
with their employees.
This, of course. does not apply to
all railroad executives. but some of
them still seem to feel that nothing is
SO important as to break the powerful

cases justify the advance. Talk about
the automobile industry having reached
the saturation point is not heard very
often just now. Steel business Is
very good. There has been a further
rise in commodity prices. particularly
of copper. Sugar people look forward
to n prosperous year and even the
rubber and tire folks are not without
hope. All things considered there is
no reason To be anything but very
cheerful.

We must pay the fiddler his complete
bill. Business has really been like a
convalescing patient. Everything will
go well with the patient if he does not
try to get out of bed too soon. II he
tries to overdo he will have a relapse.
We now have passed the most painful
part of the readjustment. The crisis
Is over, but a process Of cost reduc-
ton and re-balancing is necessary
Price Spread Is Wide
To-day a wild disparity exists be-
tween prices of different commodities.
and particularly the spread between
producers and consumers goods. This
is a brake on trade. One half of the
people cannot earn enough to buy the
goods that the other half has to sell.
There are one hundred and six mil
lion people in the United States and
fifty per cent of them get their living
from producing or distributing raw
materials. 1t has thus far been i'm
possible to reduce the prices of fin
ished consumers goods to meet the
cuts on these raw materials. The pur-
chasing power of these people is out Of
it's natural proportion.

ducing wages, although labor costs are

'What's going to happen in 1927
That question is uppermost in the
minds of 100000 American business
men and investors who are facing the
problem Of making plans for the new
year.
Signs are not clear and the usual
b~aroIneters aesm to contradict N
another.
In the face of this general confus-
ion we had best fall back on the facts
and figures. After a thorough study
of the fundamental conditions that
govern our market, Roger w. Bah
son has issued a statement which
clears the air and furnishes a basis of
fact for our plans.
1--WE are now Mt a point in the bust
ness cycle" says Mr.. Babson, where
you can get almost as many different
opinions as there are business men.
Some are very buIlish for the coming
year. and others cannot see much hope
for business. The reason for such a
situation is that we are at present
neither at the top of q boom nor at
the depth of a depression. If we were
ut either of these extremes there
would be no question of what the next

move would be AS it is. We are
about half way between them.
During the past year United
States business has steadily advanced
until the average for the whole coun-
try is what we usaully call normal
business. Having advanced thus far,
shall we Immediately continue into q
great prosperity period or shall we
go into another period of depression
and poor business as some predict?
IF you will only remember the five
years preceding 1921 and recall what
an enormous orgy of expansion ex-
listed, You can see for yourself that ii
will take some time to get a proper
foundation for really good business.

BY BYRON SELLER


VNt VI "! ~ mum
Copyright, 1892. by The Great Falls Tribune
New York. Dec. 30.-The secretary
Of commerce is credited with two
statements this week, both of which
have a vital bearing on the future Of
the securities market and of the bust
ness outlook. First, was the express
sion of opinion that the time will
shortly be at hand when the enormous
stock Of gold held in this country will
begin TO be diminished by exports.
The other was the statement that sta
tistics covering imports for October
and November will show an increase in
such imports, the new tariff law not
withstanding.
As to the first of these matters, it
has long been held by some economic
experts that our surplus of gold con-
stituted a positive menace in its threat
of initiation. A good deal of the rise
in speculative securities during the
past year was ascribed by these
economists to our abundant money
supply. II so and Secretary Hoover's
prediction is verified, that danger will
he revived, but the removal will take
with it one Of the causes for the
advance in the price Of both securl-
ties and commodities.
As to the second matter, the belief
has been freely expressed that under
our new tariff, foreign trade could
not prosper. Mr.. Hoover is of course
in the position to know the facts and
theories are of no Importance when
they conflict with facts.
Influence Uncertain
How far spectators and investors
are Influenced by considerations of
this kind is uncertain. 1t is fact. how
ever, that there has been no sign of
any large advance in the price of high
grade securities this week. Even
Liberty bonds. which have been very
slowly rising for a considerable period,
wavered on some days of the week.
The same was tyue to a greater or
less degree of all securities, prices of
which are responsive only to money
market and fundamental conditions.
Investors simply DESTROYS of buying in
for income were willing TO pay the
market quotations, but they did not
rush TO bid up the price.
Financial institutions which are al
ways large buyers Of high grade securi-
ties supplied their needs only when
price and quality met their ideas of
reasonableness. Perhaps the situation
could be best described by saying that
both. buyers and sellers were confident
of a fair degree Of stability in the
market for prime securities.
There is of course another impor-
tant factor affecting ever the surplus
investment issues, namely the bust
ness situation. A long period of good
trade results in the accumulation Of
profits available for investment. This
PROCESS however. is a very slow one
and long before it begins to operate on
