crowd outside announce the arrival
of Michael Collins, Professor John
MacNeill, P. j. Hogan, Joseph Nc
Grath, Kelvin O'Higgins and William
Cosgrave. Immediately afterward,
Viscount' Fitzalan with two aides ar
rived and they all proceeded to the

transfer of powers was effected.

SCHOOL Committee
READ GOOD REPORT.
Investigation of Educational Build
ings Find Fire Haggard to be
Maintained at Minimum.

Children attending public schools
and the collega students can feel
themselves secure from fire insofar as.
the care and attention given to pre-
vention by those in charge of the
schools, according to a report made
by a committee to the Rotary club
at the Tuesday luncheon. The Boze-
man schools are maintained at a min
imum of fire hazard.
In submitting the report the COM
mittee paid particular attention to
the conditions of each building. In
the Gallatin County High School, ev-
cry care is taken to prevent accumu-
lation of waste paper, or any other
inflammable material. The only sug-
gestion offered by the committee was
additional exits for he assembly room.
The Longfellow school building was
found be kept clean and neat with
all inflammable materials removed. A
suggestion for the remodeling Of the
boiler room was made. This would
entail an expenditure of quite a sum
of money making it necessary to hold
an election to provide for funds. A
fire drill at the school required just
55 seconds for all pupils to leave the
building. This rapid action assures
the safety of the children.
The Hawthorne building, which is
one of the oldest in the city was
found in fine condition. 1t is not Of
modern construction but the fire risk
is reduced to a minimum by the same
careful attention to keeping every
part of the building in perfect shape.
The Irving is also an old building but
every precaution was found being
tawen to keep the building free from
fire danger. Recommendation were
suggested for changes in the boiler
room here which would be an improve
ment. This would have to be done in
a like manner as in the case Of the
Longfellow school.
At the Emerson school building
which is the newest and nearest OF
all to being fire proof, everything was
o found in very fine order. All store
, rooms or closets were found to b(
kept clean, no paper or refuse wa.
permitted to accumulate. The fire
O risk is very small here. The par
9 ochial school was also found to be il
> good condition. Fire drills are prac
. ticed in the schools each week.
+ All of the college buildings were
found to be carefully looked after by
o those in charge. The biology build
ing was found to be not as secure a.

Ready to Negotiate For Re-

tiOnS
SOVIET SENDS NOTE
Bolshevists Have Mistaken Proposal
For Investigation for a Political
Negotiation of feace-kubsia May
Lose Opportunity Through move

Washington. Sept. 16.-The United
States will reject the proposal Of Sow
let Russia for negotiations looking to
resumption of relations, It was un-
derstood here today.
The Soviet Government, in a note
to American Ambassador Houghton
in Berlin, has countered with this pro-
posal to the recent informal sugges-
ton of the United States for. send
ing an impartial and technical COM
mission of investigation to establish
the facts of conditions in Russia.
The Bolshevists, it is believed here,
without giving any definite reply,
have twisted the original American
proposal in an attempt to place the
question of a commission of investl-
cation upon a plane of political nego-
tiation.
The Russians stated in their note
that they are ready "to enter into ef-
ficial preliminary negotiations for re-
establishment of normal relations
with an official American Delegation
appointed for this purpose" and the
Moscow dispatches indicate that the
entire text Of the note is of a polltl-
cal nature.
The attitude of the United States,
the United Press understands on high
authority, is that this Government
has nothing to negotiate with Soviet
Russia, and that, hence, suggestions
for negotiations are wholly out Of
the question.
The ~ovieO note declares also that
Russian commission for investl-
cation of economic conditions should
be welcomed into the United States
if such a commission be sent to Rus
sia. This suggestion however, IS re-
ceiving no serious consideration BY
the American Government.
The original suggestion OF the
United States for the investigation
by technical commission of the sit
uation in Russian afforded an op-
portunity for that country to return
I to the family of nations Of the
world. officials here again pointed out
Definite establishment of the eaus-
es for conditions in Russia and OF the

American proposal, and it is known
that there would be no prejudice on
the part of this Government against
assuming normal relations with Rus
