ton of a chancellor of the greater

Since the announcement by Chan

respondence has been carried on Ey
Miss May Trumper, secretary. of the
board, with a number of educators
who are being considered for appoint
ment, and it is desired to have two
or three of the more likely candidates
before the board when it meets to
consider this matter.
Accordingly, as stated by Governor
Dixon, it is likely that the meeting
of the board will be delayed something
like a week after September 8, when
it is hoped to have these Candidates
in Helena.
The retiring chancellor has been
out Of the state for several days, but
expects to be back here to close up
some matters before leaving for
Lafayette, Indiana, to take Oh the
duties of his new office. In the mean
time the duties of chancellor are be-
ing performed by DIR. Swain under ap-
pointment by the governor.

Brown denied knowledge of the
Dodge car, but claimed to have taken
the license plates from a Ford in
Butte. He said that he had planned
the theft of the car here carefully and
thought that he had covered his
tracks. He needed money, needed it
badly and needed it right away. He
was making his getaway when picked
up in Cascade, he said.
He came to Great Falls early last
week, rented a residence garage at
Twelfth street and First avenue
north, and then started doing" the
emu to pick up a car to put in his
garage, he told the officers. Wednes-
day night he was walking near the
Great Northern passenger station
when he saw a man drive up in A
Ford and leave the car without LOCK-
ing it or taking the key. The first
break in the luck for him, he figured.
He waited until the man had disap-
peared in the station and then
cranked the car and got in and drove
to his garage.
He replaced the radiator of the car

Ayers His First Arrest
Brown said that he hoped a few
folks would learn a lesson from the
affair. He averred that stealing an
automobile is mere child's play be

unlocked and unguarded. He said

has ever been arrested.
He took his arrest philosophically
and did not attempt to deny the theft
of the car when he was confronted
with the evidence against him.

it does it is estimated that one year
and six months will be required be-
fore it is completed.
Goodyear engineers claim that the
new craft will have a cruising radius
of 1000 miles, which would enable it
easily to cross the Atlantic Ocean
They plan that on low speed its en-
gines shall be capable Of maintaining
IA speed of 4412 miles an hour and on
high speed 20 miles an hour.
All details as to the landing devices
for heavier-than-ai machines on the
big gaS-supported ship are at present
being kept secret, though the gem
eral scheme of seizing the smaller ma
chimes by some apparatus suspended
below the great dirigible is indicated
by the War Department engineers.
On the new army dirigible air
planes can be carried and
dropped with the airship in full flight.
Likewise an airplane can fly under
meath the dirigible and be picked up
with a big hook and hosting appara-
tus and brought up on board while the
shin is flying so miles an hour.
