Rankin Hears From Veteran Warden That For
mer Prison Boards Got Along Much Better
and Did More Than Present Commission; Says
State Had Witnesses Not Used

Thursday forenoon. when the witness
Conley. was shown letter copy book
containing the copy Of letter he had
written to Matteson in st. Paul, telling
him he had sent the prison books TO
him at st. Paul to be Strengthened out
Under questioning by Mr.. Rankin the
witness said that Matteson had been a
boOkkeeper at the prison and had re-
mained in that capacity for two years
after the completion of his sentence as
bank defaulter. He said Natteson
was the best bookkeepcr who ever hit
Montana" and he sent the books to him
in st. Paul to get Strengthened out be-
cause his bookkeeper at this time,
whom he referred to as Shelly had
them mixed up He said Shelly was
living beyond his means. he being a
paid employe, and that he finally got
Matteson to come out from st. Paul
TO fix up the books He said Matteson
found that Shelly was off about 81 400
on the COnley & McTague books but
that the prison books proved to be all
right.
Colonel Nolan objected to this course
of examination but Mr.. Rankin said
it was being conducted to show that the
bookkeeping system at the prison was
no system at all. that it was being han
died by convicts and that the books
were even being sent out of the state.
The defense said this had been its con
tention all along and that il was caused
by the fact that the state would not
hire bOokkeepers TO do the work.
Had No Horse Funds
why didn't the state buy horses for
the PRISON." asked Mr.. Rankin.
Because the board said the state
had no money. that it needed ii all for
improvements and that it was poor
business to buy horses when it was
getting my horses for nothing" replied
Mr.. Conley.
Don't you think things were rim
pretty loose over there:" asked Mr..
Rankin.

Arrest Attention of
Main Contenders.

Washington. June Running 45
minutes beyond the time set for quit
ting, the senate brought its night ses-
sion to a close Thursday night in con-
siderable disorder. Much of the after
dinner session was devoted to heated
debate on the various phases of the dye
schedule which, as had been predicted
developed into one Of the bitterest
fights on the tariff measure.
Meantime there was a general hub
bub on the floor. Finally an agreement
to recess until Friday was reach ed.
Senator Robinson agreeing at the re-
quest of Senator Curtis, republican.
Kansas, to withdraw his motion for ad-
journment, so that recess might be
taken.
The interchange between senator's
holding opposing views on proposed
imports on dyes became more pointed
as the evening session progressed and
IN the last minutes a personal encoun-
ter between Senator McCumber, repub-
lican. North Dakota, in charge of the
tariff bill, and Senator Robinson, dem
ocrat, Arkansas, was apparently mar
rowly averted.
Advancing to the center aisle TO meet
each other, the senators found Senator
King democrat, Utah. standing between
them. Then Senator Poindexter. re-
publican. Washington. moved across the
chamber and took Senator McCumber
by the shoulders. The North Dakota
senator resisted and for a moment they
were clinched
The controversy over the so per
cent and seven cents a pound duties

and the modified dye embargo provis-
ions of the bill went over. the senate

TO the brick schedule. The committee
withdrew its original proposition for
duty of % per cent advalorem on
building bricks. which came under fire
last week, and offered as a substitute
that brick be placed on the free list
but with proviso that such brick com
ing from country imposing a duty on

FIX $3.50 AS PRICE
.OF COAL IN FIELDS;
LEWIS SAYS DOUBLED
Hoover Declares Consumers
May Assure Themselves
of Square Deal.

Washington, June Establishment
of maximum price OF $3.50 ton for
coal at the mines in so per cent of the
present productive fields for the dura-
ton of the strike was announced
Thursday night by Secretary Hoover
he regretted. he added, that small
minority of the operators, represent
ing western Kentucky, had refused to
cooperate and were demanding high
er prices.
Consumers can insure themselves of
a square deal under the established
prices by checking freight rates with
the maximum price. Mr.. Hoover said,
determining whether they are buying
contract coal. and making proper al
lowances for cost of retail distribu-
ton. The maximum price. he explain
ed. applies solely TO spot coal, con-
sumers not treated fairly may appeal
to the commerce department with as
surance that inquiry into their cases
will be instituted
Mr.. Hoover announced he has been
advised that operators of Virginia.
West Virginia. Tennessee and eastern
Kentucky would accept the maximum
of $500 ton. while Alabama opera
tors would accept the rate of - cents

district

Of one of these exchanges said that
the present proceeding against him
was the result of the desire of Coy

him out of the state and out of poll

the expense he has been put to in de-
Tending himself against the charges

ed that. instead of milking" the state

other dairy products, the state had been
the beneficiary and that he had really
lost money thereby He likewise in
sisted that the testimony alleging the
great waste of prison milk in the swill

the state had witnesses to the fact but
had declined to put them on the stand.

FIST FIGHT TN SENATE Is NARROWLY AVERTED
Great Cock Fight
When Roosters Are
Freed in Same Pen

Springfield, Mass, June THE
greatest cock fight ever held in New
England was staged here. There
were no spectators and no bets. The
big cock fighting derby raided on
Tuesday by state troopers was a
mere preliminary round.
Sixty prize fighting fowls, cap
tured by the raiders, were placed
together in a yard. The birds, the
pick of fanciers from Rhode island
to Vermont, held battle royal In a
hen yard with no one present to
cheer the sanquinary combats. Later
the yard was found Uttered with
dead and dying, while the survivors,
SCARED and bleeding, strutted about
the field of carnage, Growing cha!-
Ienges to those able to take them up.
Forty of the feathered fighters,
priced by handlers from Hockanum,
Conn.,, TO Sacarappa, Maine, lay
silent in the dust. They had fought
their last fight. The surviving 20
birds were reeIing about the pile of
dead fighters, apparently exhausted
after a long night of battle. They
were tied to fence in the hen-run
at intervals which would permit of
no further combat.
John Alden. master of the hen
run which had been invaded by the
prize fighters, furnished a little one
act tragedy. When John saw the
60 aliens suddenly invade his king
dom and usurp his powers he GRIM
Iy went over the top. prepared for
battle.
Johns body was found at the bot
tom of the pile of dead game cocks.
He had lain down his life for fond
belief in his own prowess.
