THE POLITICAL
OUTLOOK NOW
Special Writer Tells of
Results in the State
Election

Washington elected SO Republic
ans. eight Democrats and one
Progressive to it's house of rep
resentatives of the state egisla-
ture, and 20 Republicans and one
Democrat to its state senate.
These SO Republicans, however,
are far from a unit. In fact there
is every possibility that the next
speaker of the house will be a
democrat. and FL. F. Banker of
Okanogan county, floor leader of
the party for many years, is the
most likely candidate.
The republican party is split in
to three factions, none of which
will agree to work in harmony
with the other. The. majority group
lacks the necessary 40 votes to
control the house, the two minor
ity groups are still smaller.
The two major factions are the
anti-Hartley and pro-Hartley. The
former controls 81 votes, of which
a. are republicans, six democrats
and one Independent; the second
or pro-Hartley combination has 81
republican votes and one demo-
crat. There are IL republicans and
one democrat holding aloof and
refusing to be counted with either
faction at this time. This 13 anc

The pro-Hartley forces with the

leaders will negotiate, as pointed
out earlier, they can do this and

their party convention in virtually
all legislative matters likely to

session.
SO it would not be surprising if
the next session would have the
f1rst democratic speaker it has ey-
er had. 1t was in 1897 that a
Populist was speaker but never
a democrat before.
The situation in the senate is
different. Here the old senate or

Foreign Prisons Found

New York, Aug. 20 Pe-Leon C. Weinstock, commissioner of prisons for New York state arriving today from Europe, where he studied pris- on conditions, said he found that European prisons were not compar- able with American prisons in effi- ciency and sanitary environment of the prisoners.
 Discussing prison conditions in New York state, MT. Weeihstoek, said prohibition had gained in five years an increase of TOO per cent in the drug and liquor addicts sent to state prisons.

Cotton Growers Are
 Urged t0 CO-ODerate

Washington, Aug. 20 P)-Farm- CTS, merchants and bankers of the south were urged yesterday by Senator Hefiin, democrat, Ala bama, to band together and serve notice on the cotton buying world that no more of this years crop will be sold until the price goes above 20 cents a pound.
 The republican prosperity about which we hear so much now is confined to a favored few" Sena- tor Heflin said in his appeal. The big tariff-fattened manufacturers of the east. the stock gamblers cotton gamblers and grain gamb- lers are fairly revelling in repub- lican prosperity. but the cotton producers and grain growers are not prosperous. Today they are forced to sell their crops below the cost of production. Instead of be- ing prosperous they are being i'm poverished."

l3,OOO MINERS IN
 WAGE COMPROMISE
Old Wages and ' i-2 Hour Day
 Basis Of Agreement

London, Aug. 20 dP - The big gest breakaway of coal miners from the policy of the miners federation which has occurred since the strike in the mines was called more than three months ago, came last night when delegates repre- senting about 13,000 men and boys employed in the Bolsover company in the Nottinghamshire coal fields. accepted a proposal of the mine owners to resume work at their old wages for seven and half hour day. This constituted a com- promise between the federation's insistency that the seven hour day must be maintained, and the mine owners demand for an eight hour day.
 Although it is yet to be seen whether the miners generally en- dorse the action of the delegates, it is predicted that virtually all concerns will eagerly accept the compromise and that work will start again forthwith. Other mine owners in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire have announced their readiness to reopen their pits on the same terms as have been given by the Bolsover company. Whether the present develop
 ments was the result of the col. lapse of the negotiations yesterday between the mine owners and the miners, who, it had been hoped would serve to bring about peace in the long controversy. is not yet apparent. Miners in various dis. tricts have been going back to work in small numbers, aggregat- ing a few thousand, but there has been no general movement back tc l the mines.

WILDCAT SEEN
WITHIN A MILE
OF CITY LIMITS

Thirty-three years ago it was
not uncommon to see wild ami
mails within a short distance of
BOzeman, but of late years such
experiences have become rare.
Nevertheless, they do occur, as
testified to by Lester Todd, sales
man for a local automobile firm,
who while driving near the Huff
fine lane just west Of the city
Wednesday evening, observed a
fuIlgrOwn wildcat beside the road.
Mr.. TOdd's story is verified by
several persons who accompanied
him. The wildcat, apparently,
was confused by the lights of the
car and delayed its flight long
enough for the occupants of the
machine to get a good view of it.
For the reinsurance of the TIM
i'd, however, it may be said that
the wildcat, while classed as car
nivOrOus, is not regarded as a
dangerous animal.

Intended Victim Escapes After
Being Pursued to Door
of Her Home

Presence in the city Of a moron
Of 'Peeping Tom" prOclivities was
brought to light late last week when
a prominent Third ward woman re-
ported to the police that she had been
pursued to the door Of her home by
a man who had attempted to seize
her as she passed alOug the street.
Immediate search for the man was
made, both by the woman's husband
and by the police, but he could not
be located. Sharp watch is being
kept by the authorities, and should
he attempt to repeat the performance
his arrest will undoubtedly follow.
According to the wOman's story,
she had accompanied a young girl
friend home from an entertainment at
the Emerson school last Thursday
night. AS she was returning to her
home, a man stepped from behind a
clump Of bushes near the sidewalk
and attempted to seize her. Fright
ened, she screamed and ran. The
moron pursued her and only when she
had reached the door Of Eer home and
persons within had been attracted by
her cries did he desist and hasten
away.
It is said that a few nights prior
to this incident, a girl college stu

WILL RESURFACE
Main STREET AT
COST OF $4,000
Majority Of Property Owners
Seem to Favor Project
Petitions Out Soon

Decision to resurface Main street
from Ida to Third avenues with
hituluthic was reached at a meeting
Of city officials and property owners
held in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms Tuesday evening. The esti-
mated cost is $4,000, and the finan-
cing Of the work will probably be
brought about through the creation
Of an improvement district. Petitions
fer the district viii be circulated
within a short time.
At the meeting, over which Nelson
Story, Jr., presided, the improvement
Of Main street was discussed by Fred
M. Brown, city manager; NJ. w.
Woodland, representing the Warren
Construction company, who spent
several days here inspecting the pave
ment and making estimates on the
proposed work, and others. The con-
census of opinion seemed to be that
the work should be done, and many
owners of property in the downtown
section were emphatically in favor of
it, but some opposition developed to
resurfacing the street between Rouse
and Ida on the east and Grand and
Third on the west.
Differences of opinion over the
method of financing the project were
marked. Some cOntended that the
work represented an item of main
tenance, and that the city should de.

''NOt guilty" was the verdict re-
turned, after five minutes delibera-
ton, by a jury in the district court
at Townsend Wednesday in the case
Of E. M. Howell and ID. p. ElmCre,
Gallatin county deputy sheriffs, ae-
Cused of malicious trespass in cOnnee-
tiOn with an alleged breaking into and
searching Of the BrOadwater county
home of w. A. Davis.
The charges against Deputies How
ell and Elmore were filed in the
Broadwater court shortly after they
had arrested Davis at Logan, Febru-
ary 8, and confiscated a quantity Of
mocnshine liquor found in his posses
sion. Davis alleged that while he
was held in Jail here, the deputies
had gone to his home, which is just
across the Broadwater county line,
and entered and searched it without
having any authority Of law for 50
doing.
At the trial the principal witnes-
ses fer the prosecution were Davis
and Mr.. and Mrs. VIII Crouch. The
evidence presented was, in the opin-
