Injuries Are Fatal
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Butte, Sept. 21.-A man unknown
here, who authorities say intended sui
eide. was killed almost instantly two
miles east Of Rocker shortly after mid
night Thursday when he stepped in
front of the engine of a B., A. & T.
ore train. The man was seen sitting
on the railroad in the glare of the
headlights and made a quick move as
the train approached, which was going
west, according TO the story told to
Coroner James f. Carey by members
of the crew that was under charge OF
Conductor Savage of Anaconda.
When the railroad men reached him,
the a was still breathing, but sue
cumbed a few minutes later. He had
been tossed to the side of the track,
his head being badly crushed and one
foot severed.
Coroner Carey went to the scene
and upon examination of the body
found a gold watch and a cheap ring
in the pockets of the clothes that were
dark. and bore the name OF a. Kirby,
Chicago. o
The dead man was about 10 or 90
years of age. weighed almost 200
mounds and was six feet one inch IN
height. He was smooth shaven and
had brown hair streaked with gray.

Forest Fire Quelled
After Night Battle;
Good Timber Ruined
to The Tribune.

pVOlOA ~ II
Lewistown. Sept. 21.-A force of
more than 100 men worked all Wednes-
day night, under direction of Under
Sheriff Guy Slocum, fighting the forest
and grass fire on the South Moccasin
mountain, and Thursday morning fur
Their danger was past, the men having
saved all the ranch houses and several
grain fields. .
The fire swept about 1900 acres of
heavily timbered land, some OF the
timber being of large size and valuable.
The current report is that the fire
originated through the carelessness OF
picnickers who failed to extingulsh their
fire, which spread to the dry grass and
then to the timber. ,
Aside from the fire fighters, at least
200 people went out from Lewistown
Wednesday night in autos to see the
blaze, some getting right up to the
fire, while others viewed it from the
roads.

faster than we ar arrange for the
money to pay the budget.
Speaking again of high schools,
in many of them over the state
courses have been cut out for the
present year, just as a business man
has been obliged to forego many
things that he would like 10 do in
the year 1922. We are not inclined
to criticise unduly what has been
done but we are sure of this gen.
eral proposition: At our state uni
versity, we must retain the funda-
mental courses that lie at the
foundation of a good education.
We must cut out the frills, if there
are any, and many desirable things,
as well, until we can provide the
money to pay for them.
At the present moment, there
should be no talk about closing the
university. There should be a care
full examination of what it may be
necessary to do in order to keep
the university open and operate ii
along the best possible lines of en-
deavor.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY

WYE HEAR some talk going
around the state that our edu-
cational institutions will not have
money enough to carry out the pro-
grams that have been arranged for
the current year. We are not sur
prised at this. A like situation
prevails over the state in most of
the high schools and other sim
liar lines of effort. The Tribune
does not wish to offer any p%articu-
lar criticism in this connection.
We surely wish to see our state
school facilities build up and be-
come strong, but we venture the
remark that this must be done
along business lines, and we are OF
the opinion that the present situa-
ton could have been partially
avoided if serious consideration OF
possible finances had been given in
1921.
We mean by this that there
should have been nor looking for
ward last year. 1t was known just
as clearly twelve months ago as at
the present time that the money in
every public fund would run short
this year. In too many departments
of our state business we stumbled
along last year complaining about
conditions, but doing nothing IN
particular in the way of economy
Now, we are reaping the natural
harvest. It is too bad, of course,
if somebody wishes to attend the
state university and cannot do so.
But we might as we'll face square
ly certain facts-and we have one
lesson yet to learn: W. will never
be doing business correctly in con-
nection with our education OF any
thing else when we allow deficits
to accumulate under the general
proposition that the legislature in
some way will find the money to
pay the bills. In the long run, we
do not make anything by trying to
put in new and desirable courses

Butte, Sept. 21.-A. B. Clark sold

virtually have been accepted by the
committee in charge of the project.
j. Bruce Kremer, chairman of the com
mittee, stated Tuesday that the work
Of demolishing the Finlen TO make way
for the new structure, would start III
less than q month. There are still
some important details of financing to
be settled, but it is understood that
two men have guaranteed 80 per cent
of the 100000 or more required for
the realization of the project. This is
said TO include the Finlen site at
Broadway and Wyoming streets, for
which James Finlen agreed, according
to previous announcement, to accept
1926 900 in the stock of the new hotel
corporation.
The blue prints of the proposed
structure reveal that the architects
have drawn on various notable hotel
buildings for all their best features.
The entrance, lobby and front eleva-
ton have been arranged to permit adj
ditions as required. The mezzanine

with its banquet rooms, private dining
apartments and meeting rooms, which
can be enlarged or restricted at will,
AS sketched, the entrance will be on
Broadway through an imposing marble
portal, with q smaller entrance OF Wy
oming street. In addition to the lobby
with its appurtenances, the first floor
will accommodate a lunch room opening
off Wyoming street and the main DIN
ing rooms, while q grill will be located
in the basement. Instead of a struc-
ture with $50 sleeping rooms, as first
proposed, the plans allow for 175
rooms, two-thirds Of which will be
equipped with bath. A high, %curving
cornice. copper sheathed, will surmount
the building and, like the Aston, will
be set off with handsome light stand
ards, which will make the hotel a land
mark to be distinguished from all other
buildings in the city from any vantage
point among the surrounding hills.
1--WE are not yet prepared TO make
any formal statements" said Mr. kre-
mer. "but this much is certain-the
hotel is to be built and will be started

not keep your eye entirely upon

ate finance committee inclines to
the opinion that this question will
come forward again in the next
congress. It is stated that there
is another measure under consid-
Grafton. We have an idea that Mr..
McCumber is making a prophecy
that will come true. There is like
ly to be another effort, perhaps
along somewhat different lines, to
settle the bonus controversy.
Regardless of the merit or de-
merit of the general proposition of
paying a bonus to the soldier who
spent some time in the service but
who was not injured in a physical
way. we believe it can be stated,
in keeping with the opinion of a
very large majority of the Ameri-
can people, that the congress con-
coted a bill with mighty poor pro-
visions in it. If the government is
going to compensate all of its SOL
diers, it certainly should arrange
for the money to pay the cost. The
most satisfactory way to meet any
indebtedness is a cash payment.
This asking somebody to make a
loan and then providing that the
government will at some time or
other take up that loan is a mighty
poor method of financing. 1t is an
apparent confession in the first
place of financial weakness on the
part of the government. 1t would
probably be unsatisfactory to the
soldier, cumbersome in operation
I and we believe that we would have
| dissatisfied bonus men all over the
United States in a very short time.
There are only two really sensi-
bic ways of financing a soldiers
bonus-one is by the selling OF
bonds to meet the required pay
ments and the other is by providing
a specific tax to take care of the
whole proposition. Nearly all
classes of our people agree with
the president that the only reason
able way to discharge an obliga-
ton is to get the money in some
way and pay 1t. AS congress has
given consideration to this ques.
ton, there has been too much poll.
tics in it. Congress vas willing tc
pass the buck t o anybody else pro.
vided the record could be kept ir
such shape as would pass muster
with the home folks. From Mr.
Harding's viewpoint, outside of the
difficulties that such a measure as
he has vetoed might get the gov
eminent into, he also may easily
have a political viewpoint. If {
cumbersome and unavoidable Law
were to go into effect now, a ter
rible handicap might thereby be at
tached to his political fortune:
two years hence.
There is one thing that stands
out after all the discussion thai
has been had-no will b,
satisfactory which does not have
provisions so that we may know
somewhere nearly how much We
will have to pay in the execution
of the law from the beginning Il
the end. And, as we said before
there should be definite ways ant
means provided whereby we are t.
get the necessary money.

H BONUS VETO

NNE thing has probably been de-
~ cided as the United States SEN
ate fails to override the veto OF the
soldiers bonus bill by President
Harding.
The congress will not put an
other measure up to the president
which does not provide the money
to pay the bonus. This much has
been gained.

All, All! THREE VILLAINS IN
~THE CRIMSON CHALLENGER

The cast of Dorothy Dalton's latest
Paramount picture, "The Crimson
Challenge which is to be seen at
the Kenworthy theatre Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday, reads like blue
book of screen villains. There are sew
eral bad men in the picture, but three
of them are noted for their ruffianly
records in the annals of the. screen.
These are Frank Campeau, Clarence
Burton and George Field.
Frank Campeau plays the part of
Buck Courtney in the picture-a
regular "Trampas" part and the kind
that brought Campeau fame when he
toured with 1.-THE Virginian."
Clarence Burton not long ago fin
ished the role of bad Mexican in
Cecil B. .DeMille's production, Fools
Paradise" and another similar Mexi-
can character in Gloria Swanson's
Paramount picture, "Her Husbands
Trademark" In this new picture he
will be seen as 'Black Bart" said to
be one of the most despicable char
acters ever put on the screen.
George Field, who plays "Wylackie"
a high-cast Mexican villain, appeared
as Pedro" in Fools Paradise"
These three bad men are guarantee
enough that there will be more shiv-
ers per inch of film in 'The Crimson
Challenge than any picture which has
been produced recently. 1t is quite
unusual to see more than one or two
heavy characters in picture, espec-
tally heavies of such reputation and
screen magnitude as these three play
ers. Among them, they have doubtless
committed every conceivable kind OF
misdeed under the sun-that is, in the
realms of Shadowland. outside of their
make-ups, however, they are three of
the mildest-mannered gentlemen in
the world.
