 The speaker declared that a repe- tition of the history of the railroads is occurring in the public utilities, in the meat packing and coal industries, even in the administration of real properties.
 Security from the possibility of government control is a delusion," Mir. Arkwright continued. Any business or industry will be held to be SO af- fected by public interest as to justify governmental control, if public sen- timent demands it."
 MT. Arkw-right questioned govern mental interference as a remedial measure. Operation of business by government" he said, "does not pre- vent monopoly; it assures it."
 What is needed among men inter- ested in business, MT. Arkwright con- tinued, 'is intelligent self interest, self control. refraining from :, unfair advantage, determination to give value as well as take it. realization that one class cannot profit at the expense of another without eventual loss to both, and that all classes are mutually. de- pendent on the services of each other.'

Sorrow In ireland
as Populace Passes
Bier of Dead Chief

Dublin. Aug. 25.-(By the Associated
Press Scenes of great sorrow were
witnessed throughout Friday in the city
hall as long lines of people passed the
bier of Michael Collins, the Free State
commander in-chief, who was killed
from ambush by republican forces last
Tuesday night. A pathetic scene took
place at midday. when the city hall was
closed for a time to the public, and
relatives and close friends of the dead
general were admitted to pay their re-
spects. Zan Collins. brother, broke
down completely and threw himself
across the body. The silence inside
the mortuary chapel was broken only
by the sobs of the mourners and the
low voice of the priest intoning words
of consolation.
Many thousands of persons viewed
the face of Collins during the day, the
lid of the coffin having been removed
early in the morning in order that the
populace might see for the last time
the features of the man who had fought
so bravely for the provisional govern
ment.
The Free State government has de-
clared Monday. the day on which Gen
eral Collins will be buried, a day of
general mourning. All industries ex-
cept the essential services will cease
Throughout the 26 counties here will
be general stoppage of activities be-
tween IL and II noon except for the

CONVICT KILLED. )
CAPTURED IN BATTLE
WITH ARMED POSSES
States Attorney May Die
From Wounds Inflicted
by Desperadoes.

RAPID City, S. D., Aug. 24.-(By
The Associated Press. Halted at the
border land of the Black Hills, four
escaped convicts from the Sioux Falls
penitentiary ended their terrorizing
drive across South Dakota about so
miles east of here late Friday with
the death of one of their number and
the capture of the other three.
Their wild flight was begun August
II, when they knitted a deputy warden,
kidnapped the warden and escaped in an
automobile.
Through three counties they streaked
Friday, probably mortally wounding a
county official and injuring two others
in clash near Stamford, and finally
stopping when shot from a sheriff's
rifle toppled the driver of their car
and sent it into a ditch.
The other three convicts scurried
into a corn field beside the road, but
they soon were routed out and cap
tured, though not until they had put
up a fight In which another of their
number was shot and wounded.
Harry Coffee, alias Hickman. ne
gro, was the convict killed, and Joe
Foreman. recognized leader of the gang,
was seriously wounded. Inc two con-
victs taken uninjured are Joe Teel
and J. B. King. All were sent to
prison upon conviction of grand
larceny.
Airplanes circling overhead and
heavily armed posses headed by state
and county officials marked the end
of the chase.
Early Friday morning the convicts
were discovered at Mudoc in Jones
county. and when they left toward
Stamford TO the west, States Attorney
NJ. l.. Parish, Sheriff J. C. Babcock
and J. A. Robertson set out in pursuit.
Oyertaking the convicts near STAN
ford, which is just over the line in
Jackson county, the officials opened
fire and were met with an answering
volley that probably mortally wounded
Parish and less seriously hurt Babcock
and Robertson.
Parish in critical condition from
wounds in the arm, shoulder and neck,
and with bullet in his head, was taken
20 Mitchell Friday afternoon.
After their successful clash with the
Jones county officials, the convicts
seized Parish's automobile and contin-
ued their flight southwark in Jackson
county, abandoning the car at Interief
and stealing another, the eighth thee
had taken in as many days.

TAX ON SALES
IS ADVOCATED
To PAY BONUS
Smoot Would Cost
of Compensation on
Large Manufacturers.
Montana Solon Speaks
Against Bill; Early
Passage Is Forecast.

Washington, Aug. 25.-For two
hours Friday the senate heard argu-
ments for and against the soldiers
bonus BILL but it took no action on any
of the pending amendments. Senator
McCumber, republican, North Dakota,
in charge of the measure, made an
effort to get an agreement for vote
before adjournment Saturday, but
although unsuccessful, was hopeful
that the bill could be passed early In
the coming week.
Two additional amendments were
offered Friday by Senator Smoot, of
Utah, ranking republican on the
finance committee. One proposes that
the amended house measure, with its
optional bonus plans, be financed by a
manufacturers sales tax at the rate
of one-half of l per cent for the first
cent thereafter.
Insurance Plan
The other amendment was in the
nature of a substitute for the pending
bill with paid-up insurance plan in
lieu of all other options, that, too, to
be financed by q manufacturers sales
l per cent. In each case the proposed
tax would become effective next No
vember i, and exemptions would be
made in the case of all farm products
and manufacturers doing business of
less than $4,000 year.
In the debate Friday, Senator Reed,
republican, Pennsylvania, a former
service man declared his opposition to
the bonus, his address being his
maiden effort in the senate. He said
the plain fact was that the country
could not afford to pay the bonus and
added that in the army parlance, he
did not propose to pass the buck" to
the president.
Speeches in opposition TO the bonus
also were made by Senators New.
republican, Indiana, and Myers, dem
ocrat, Montana, while Senator Bur
sum. republican, New Mexico, spoke
in support of the bonus and his
amendment under which the veterans
would be paid in cash within the next
five years. Senator McCumber also
joined in the discussion to reply briefly
to statement made Thursday by
Senator Wadsworth, republican, New
York.
McCumher Replies To Wadsworth
The North Dakota senator said Mr.
Wadsworth had made it appear that
in his address in favor of the bonus
Wednesday he had thought it neces-
sary Ito pay the soldiers a few paltry
dollars to retain their loyalty"
Il never dreamed that such infer
ence could be drawn from any part of
my speech" said Senator McCumber,
land / don't think any such construc
ton can honestly be placed on any
part of it.
''The senator from New York knows
as well as | that these men who an
swered the call of the last war will
respond as readily in the next one and
he knows that they will be just as
loyal"
Declaring that the taxpayers already
were Overburdened, Senator Myers
argued that the country was in no
condition to have "saddled' upon it an
additional burden estimated. he said,
at from four to seven billions of
dollars.

ference at New York between railroad
executives and union officials. II was
stated that the conference would be re-
sumed Saturday.
Before Friday nights conference the
groundwork had been laid through adj
ministration overtures for a further
meeting between the parties to the
anthracite dispute, to be held next
week at some point in Pennsylvania. It
was indicated that certain proposals
would be made, which, it was hoped,
would bring about an adjustment of the
difficulty which disrupted the sessions
at Philadelphia earlier this week. While
no detailed explanation was given as to
how the government would operate
anthracite mines in the event of their
seizure. it was indicated that the first
step would be to fix a wage scale and
then request or direct the miners to re-
turn to work. Coal mined, it was
stated. would be marketed through the
regular commercial channels, the gov
ernment taking steps to prevent pos
sible profiteering.
The bituminous situation did not en-
ter into the discussion, the conferees
agreeing that this industry gradually
was getting back TO normal The abil-
ity of the roads to move coal from the
mines, in the view of officials, consti-
tutes an important element in this con-
Inection, however, and may prove de-
ternlnlng factor as to the necessity for
federal operation of carriers.

Bergen, a motion picture actor of New
York, was shot and killed Friday night
and George Klein, a motion picture
director, is under arrest, charged with

his pockets, brought out blood stained
piece of paper and scrawled on 1t:
George Klein killed me-"
The police do not know the cause or
the circumstances Of the shooting,
which occurred shortly after Bergen
had arrived at Klein's home Friday
evening. The driver of the taxi which
took Bergen to the Klein home, heard
the shots and hastened away for po-
lice officer.
Klein. according to the police, admit
ted the shooting, but declared that he
had fired in self-defense, following a
quarrel which arose over Bergens al
legged treatment of Mrs. Mary Klein,
the picture directors wife. Klein, the
police say, charged that Bergen as
saulted Mrs. Klein two weeks ago.
Says Self-defense
Klein is said to have told the police

had drawn pistol and threatened his
life. David Landau, driver of the taxi
cab, told the police Bergen had in
structed him to wait for him in front
of the Klein home. The actor had been
gone but a few minutes, the chauffeur
said, when he heard the reports of two
shots. Immediately after Bergen ap-
peared in the doorway, Landau thinking
his fare had done the shooting, started
in search of an officer. When he re
turned with a patrolman they found
Bergen a block away from the Klein
home He had collapsed on the side
walk. twice wounded.
Klein did not go into details con-
cerning Bergen's alleged assault on his
wife, the police say, nor did he tell OF
the actors reason for coming to his
home He said that Bergen immedi-
ateIy began to curse as he entered the
house, drawing a gun as he advanced.
Two pistols were found in the Klein
home, the police said, but no weapon
was in Bergen's possession. Bergen
was a member of motion picture stock
company in New York. Klein is free
lance" director.
The police gave out a detailed state
ment later, in which they said that
Klein had declared his wife had told
him Friday of the alleged assault by
Bergen. which he said occurred in Sar-
anac. n Y. while he was directing a
picture in which the actor was appear
ing.

a year, had befriended him, and wanted
to ask him about this accusation of my

and handed him a revolver, keeping one
for myself. I told him to follow me to
an upper room, where we were to shoot

The police say Klein's story was cor
roborated by his wife and her two
brothers, who witnessed the shooting.

Total Valuation, How
ever, Is Lower Than
in 1921.
(TrIbune's Helena Bureau

Helena, Aug. 25.-While the returns
| of the assessors of the sd counties oi
/ Montana upon assessments made by
! them for taxation purposes as Of date
March 1, 1922, show a very large in
crease in acreage of farming and graz
ing land assessed over the figures OF
| 1921, it was this class Of property that
is responsible for the major share oi
the drop of $118,577, ,S54 in the states
assessment.
The returns from these assessors
which have yet to be equaliZed and
therefore subject to possible changes
have been tabulated by the assistants
of the state board of equalization and
compared with the assessments OF pre-
vious years following equalization.
The total of the acreage of farming
and grazing lands assessed this year
in the state is 49,512.245, an increase
over 1921 of 1856, ,558 acres. Every
county in the state reported an in
creased acreage, with the exception OF
Judith Basin, Teton, Deer Lodge, bill
Liberty, Lincoln and Saltwater, in
which small decreases were shown.
In spite of this increase of over three
million acres, the total assessment was
very much less than in 1921, these
lands being assessed in 1922 at 1856,
967,787, or a decreae of $54, ,232, ,6O7

Increases in IL Counties
Twelve counties in the state showed
increases in total assessments on lands
namely, Carter, Granite, Dawson, Lin
coin. McCone. Meagher, Missoula, Pom
dera, Pairie, Ravalli, Sanders and Still
water, but in most of these the in
crease was due to an increased acre
age and in only four counties, Carter
Dawson, Lincoln and Saltwater, do the
returns show a higher average acre
assessment than in 1921.
The average assessed value of this
land over the state per acre decreased
from S1346 to S1145, or a loss of
S2.01.
The total value of the improvements
upon farming and grazing land in
creased from SS7 ,432 $50 to $50 9,49S,

At the same time the assessments on
city and town lots dropped from S104,
$50, ,OS2 to 500, ,260,50S, a loss of S.

city lots is shown in Ravalli county
where the cut amounted to S1,644, 100
in Fergus county, where it dropped
$500. .O29; in Cascade. where it dropped
1868. .562, and in Gallatin county, where

$4,000 Tons of Coal
to Be Purchased by
State in September

Helena, Aug. 25.-(By The Associat-
ed ress.)-Bids for $4,000 tons of
coal to heat the II state institutions
will be called for early in September
by J. r. Wood, state purchasing agent.
Following the end of the coal strike
in Montana Mr.. Wood wrote TO coal
mine operators of this and adjoining
states asking how soon. in their opin-
ion, the market and labor conditions
would be sufficiently stable to enable
them to make bids
The states purchases of coal are or
dinarily made in June, but none was
bought then this year because of the
strike. During the summer a number
of carloads were bought to meet imme-
diate needs. Last year the state bought
about 25,000 tons but erection of II
new buildings at various institutions
will require the purchase of a larger
amount for the coming year.
