So far as could be ascertained up
to Thursday afternoon, there have
been no new developments in the
murder of Frank Hansen, who was
slain in his cabin near Salesville by
an unknown assassin more than a
week ago.
John r. Hansen, of Osalzis, Minn.,
a nephew Of the dead man, arrived in
Bozeman Sunday and arranged for
the funeral, which was held Monday
afternoon at 1870 o'clock from the
West chapel. The Rev. r. P. Smith,
pastor of the First Methodist Epis-
cOpal church, officiated. Burial was
in the Bozeman cemetery.
COwardly Crime
Hansen is believed to have been
killed about o'clock in the evening
of December Is. His slayer approach
ed to within Is or 20 feet of a window,
observed Hansen sitting by a table,
and taking deliberate aim, discharged
at him a load of duck shot from a
12-gauge gun. The leaden missiles
struck Hansen in the head and neck,
and it is believed that his death was
virtually instantaneous.
.Hansen's body was discovered at
2:30 p. m. Thursday when a friend
Charles Perrin, went to call upon him
Perrin, unable to gain admitance to
the cabin, peeked through the window

Eventful Life
Major Ke6wn, kncwn to his hum
dreds of friends in Bozeman and
throughout Montana simply as "Jim,"
was born in Titusville, Penna., De-
cember %, 1866. He came to BOze-
man in 1876 and, with the exception
Of a shcrt time when he was engaged
in the oil business in Kentucky, had
made his home here since then.
AS a young man, he worked en- a
farm. When White Caldwell was
elected sheriff of Gallatin county, Mr..
KeOwn was appointed a deputy and
discharged his duties in a fearless and
able manner. He served as a state
game warden and later was again
made a deputy sheriff here, under
/ Sheriff Ed M. Reynolds. Upon the
outbreak Of the Spanish-American
war, he enlisted in the First Montana
regiment and was given a commission
as captain. In the Philippines he
served with distinction, and eventr-
ally became known as "MaiOr' Kecwn,
a title Of respect which ne bore to the
day of his death.
Major KeOwn's parents died when
/ he was a child, and oldtimers recall
that, prior to ccming to Bozeman, he
was given a home by an army Of
ficer at Fort KeOgh. When able to
shift for himself, he worked on the
cattle range tributary to the Yellow
stone and the Powder rivers. "Jim, Z"

spirited mount, was a familiar figure
at MOntana's state fair where, with
the exception of last year, he served
as announcer and marshal from the
time Of its organization.
Captured Desperate
It was many years ago that Keown,
with Ned Latta, burst into the lime
light with the capture of Ike Gra-
velle, Northern Pacific train robber.
who later, after Staying a jailer in
escaping from deputies, was run to
earth in a cellar of the governors S
mansion at Helena and killed himself
rather than be re-taken. Mr.. Keown
was, for the last 16 years, a special
detective for the Northern Pacific,
and was known throughout the state
as an exceptionally daring and re-
sourceful officer.
Major Keown was married in Liv-
lingston, November 18, 1895, to Miss
Austa M. Bowers, daughter Of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Bowers, now resi-
dents Of Bozeman. She, with a daugh-

enEAR BRoTHERS:-The Cen
~ trail Executive Committee of
the Workers Party is compelled to
bring to your attention a situs ton
which we feel certain the members
Of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers will not endorse or tolerate.
Joe S. Shafir was employed as a
clerk in the Amalgamated Trust
and Savings Bank of Chicago. an in
stitution- created by the members
of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America. Believing in the
principle of the workers organizing
to protect and fight for their own
interests, he was instrumental in
organizing the Bank Clerks Union
and became the president of this
organization. Thru the Bank Clerks
Union, he was able to win better
conditions for the workers employ
ed in this line of work in the city
of Chicago.
Brother Shafir, having won the
confidence and support of the mem
bers Of his union. was elected their
delegate to the convention of the
American Federation Of Labor At
the convention of the American
Federation of Labor, he introduced
for consideration by that body three
resolutions expressing the interests
OF the workers. The first of these
resolutions provided for the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor going on
record for the recognition of the
Union Of Socialist Soviet Republics.
The second provided for the en-
dorsement of the movement to unite
all the labor unions of the world in
one united trade union federation.
The third resolution opposed the
policy of class collaboration as ex-
pressed In the B. e. o. plan, COM
pany unions, stock investments by
workers, and labor banking, which
was of capitalist and not cooper
alive character.
BECAUSE Brother Shafir propos-
- ed those resolutions in the con-
yention of the American Federation
of Labor, charges were made
against him and he was expelled
from the Bank Clerks Union and
as consequence was discharged
from his work as asclerk in the
Amalgamated Trust and Savings
Bank OF Chicago
All the evidence in relation to the
charges filed against him and his
expulsion go to show that the move
ment against him was initiated by
the officialsaof the y Amalgamated
Trust and Savings Bank. The meet

ing of the union at which he was
tried and expelled was held in the
banking room of the Amalgamated
Trust & Savings Bank and the
members Of the union who were
present were largely the employees
of the Amalgamated Trust and Saw
ings Bank. Some of the employees
of the bank who were favorable to
Brother Shafir were inundated by
the officials OF the bank.
We lay these facts before the
members OF the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers because we feel GER
tain that the members of your or
ganization, which in the past has
carried on militant fight against
the employing class, will not toler-
ate such actions, comparing to the
worst form of oppression of work
ers by capitalist institutions, by an
institution which you have created.
YOUR organization has, in it's ma
4 tional convention, gone on re-
cord for the recognition of the
Union Of Socialist Soviet Republics.
Your organization has even initial

American Industrial corporation for
aid to the Russian workers and
peasants in the reconstruction of

tainly you win not tolerate that an

AID and support the expulsion from
his union and from his position in
the bank of Brother Shafir because
of his efforts to serve the workers
and peasants republic of Russia.
We feel certain that your attitude
on the question Of world trade union
unity is not that expressed in the
expulsion and discharge of Brother
Shafir. We believe that on the
question of class collaboration you
do not endorse the proposal that
labor unions shall become adjuncts
to the capitalist regime in place of
militant. fighting organizations of
the workers. We are even certain
that on the question of labor bank
ing, your position will be that labor
banks must be truly cooperative
organizations, controlled and direct
ed by workers, and not become part
of the capitalist financial machin-
cry.
ME ask you to express your views
w on this question thru resolu-
tons adopted in your local unions.
If you are for your union which in
the past has carried on many bril-
liant fights against the capitalists
remaining a militant, fighting organ
ization carrying on the struggles
Of the workers, you will agree that
Brother Shafir has a right to ex-
press his views and you will con-
denim those who are responsible
for his expulsion and discharge. We
ask that every local union of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
show that it is truly working class
fighting organization by adopting a
resolution condemning the expul-
sion and discharge of Brother Sha-
fir and demanding that he be re-
instated as a member of the Bank
Clerks Union and in his position in
the Amalgamated Trust and Saw
ings Bank.
Brothers OF the Amalgamated,
this is not the question OF an in
dividual. There is involved in this
question the issue of what kind OF
organizations the labor unions are
to be-organizations under the
thumb OF the bosses and carrying
out their will, or militant, fighting
organizations Of the workers.
The Amalgamated must go on
record for a militant, fighting Or
ganization, in the interests OF the
workers.
Fraternally yours,
Central Executive Committee
Workers Party Of America,

General Secretary.

all hostilities will cease. Two batta-

and one battalion is on the way to
Petroyo.
The road running to Sveti Patch

fleeing before the Greek advance.
Bulgarian troops are falling back, re-
fusing to make pitched battle, thus
hoping to influence the decision of the

the favor of Bulgaria.
Greek troops have now penetrated
Bulgarian territory to a depth of
seven miles on a 20-mile front.
According to the Bulgarian cabinet
head, Bulgaria will resist any further
invasion of her territory by Greek
troops and arrangements are being
made to call out all possible troops in
case the league of nations will be un-
able to stop the Greek advance into
