$l8,l6O PAID OUT
BY STATE FOR
BOUNTY CLAIMS
PREDATORY Animals Are Taken for
Reward Only During Pup PERIOD
No Reward in Bordering States.

HELENA.-In bounties upon nred-
atory animals taken during the 9G-dav
pup period" April l to july /. 1926
TINS beng the only period of the year
Tor which the state pays bounties,.
the livestock commission has distrib-
uted S18,100.48, according to figures
prepared by Secretary A. E. Phillips.
Under the present law the S t at e
pays bountles upon predatory animals
taken during that period only at the
rate OF Sl5 upon each grown wolf.
9zO upon mountain lions and 81 upon
grown coyotes or wolf or COYOTE
pups. Under this law the state has
paid bounties for 1926 upon one wolf.
three wolf pups, four mountain lions
and 9,02S coyotes.
Of the SIS, 1904 paid out in boun-
ties this year, 800 was received
from the predatory animal fund of the
state fish and game commission.
which is created by taking Is cents
out of the fee for each fishing and
hunting license. The remainder. or
$40, 64084, came from the livestock
commission bounty fund, which is OBJ
tanned drought a direct 1-mill tax up
on all cattle, horses and sheep owned
in the state.
The law permits of maximum levy
of IL mills, but for the past five.
years the commission has asked for
but l mill each year. This l mill levy
raises about S17,500 per year and
what is not expended in bounties is
used, together with the receipts from
the sale of the catch of furs, in the.
maintenance of force of y to IA
trappers of predatory animals.
At the present time none of the.
states or provinces bordering on Mon
tana have bounty laws, which f &C
would encourage the bringing into the
state of pelts from surrounding states
and provinces for local bounties in
the event Montana had a bounty law
similar to that in effect years ago.
In 1914 the state paid in bounties
! $161, 9S8.46.

additional victims.

Checks and rechecks made by Of.

condition. Reports which have fixed
the dead at more than six have not
been borne out by the search thus
far, authorities said, while admitting
there was a possibility that additional
bodies might be recovered.
Scenes of wild confusion followed
breaking of the steel cables at one
end of the bridge, sliding spectators
into the river bed, where they lay
stunned, a mass of tangled flesh.
Rescue work, however, was quickly
organized, Gov. Gore himself taking
charge Of relief operations. Special
trains, carrying doctors and nurses.
were dispatched from Charleston and
the more seriously injured were

MELLON DISCUSSED
BEFORE COMMONS
Meeting With Churchill for Better
U. S. Understanding Is Sug-
gested.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 26.--The visit of
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon to
Europe was the subject of several
questions in the House of Commons
today Members of the House ques-
toned the government as to whether
Mr.. Mellon has expressed the inten-
ton Of visiting London for any Of
fetal purpose and whether Chancellor
OF the Exchequer Churchill would
have an opportunity to meet him.
Ronald McNeill, financial secretary
to the treasury, replied that Mr..
Churchill had no information con-
corning the movements of the Ameri-
can Secretary of the Treasury beyond
what has appeared in the press. He
added that the British government
had no reason to believe that MIR.
Melons visit had any official signifi-
canoe.
The next question was whether 1t
would not be conducive to better I'M
Outstanding between the United States
and Great Britain if Secretary Mellon
were invited to the British treasury
to make himself acquainted with the
real facts of the Anglo-American debt
settlement. It was suggested that
this would be advisable in view of
reiteration by the United States
Treasury Of inaccurate facts con-
corning the accord.
Mr.. McNeill answered that that
was a matter into which obviously ne
could not go.

Virginia Official Says Situation on

Is Still "Ugly."

by the AESUGldLcQ ELcSSs
NORFOLK, Va, July 26.-"It's
just the old question of picking black
berries over the fence" said Commits
of Hampton this morning in refer
ence to the ''crab war" on the Vir-
ginia. Maryland boundary line. 1--WE
have larger crabs and better fish on
our side Of the fence and the Smith
Island fishermen think they can out
reach the law in gathering them"
Commissioner Houston, who was
leaving to attend a meeting Of the
commission of fisheries at Newport
News, called attention to the fact
that there have been occasional
pitched battles between the Virginia
and Maryland crabbers for years. and
said this appeared to be an oppor-
tune time for settlement of ques-
tions regarding the boundary.
He will recommend at the meeting
today that the commission equip the
patrol boat Marguerite, which was
fired upon Friday, with a one-pound
gun or a. machine gun of long range.
In the exchange of shots between
Maryland crabbers and the Mar
guerite Friday, Commissioner Houston
said, five bullets fired at a. range of
10, 900 yards passed through the pilot
house Of the Marguerite.
Capt. HudginS of the gunboat Com
nodore Maury today is investigating
conditions along the boundary. There
has been no firing since the arrival
of the larger vessel. he reported to
Commissioner Houston. The situa-
ton, however, was described as
ugly"

Surrender Today.

deep within Canton's jungle TO-DAY
detectives are believed to be cropping
closer to the sinister figure who plot
ted the murder of Don r. Mellett,
newspaper publisher, shot to death on
July 16.
Word came from the underworld,
where illicit ring leaders conspired to
do away with their foe. that the mys-
terry woman, regarded as the key to
the investigation, will surrender to
police today.
Sought for several days, searchers
were told she arrived In the city last
night prepared to face inquisition.
Arrests Thought Near.
What was discussed at several con-
ferences of investigators yesterday
was not revealed, but it was intimated
the net which public and private in
vestigators are drawing around the
assassins steadily is closing In on the
perpetrators of the crime.
Further changes in the Canton Po-
lice Department, whose chief, ). A.
Lengel, was suspended for 80 days by
Mayor Stanford NJ. Swarts Saturday,
are forecast. Among those slated for
immediate removal or transfer is Ben
Clark, chief or the BeftnIlon SeclioIl
and close co-worker of Lengel. Clark
was under fire several months ago
when his chief faced removal.

The litigation. which had its incep-
ton in charges of inefflciency filed
against Price Janson, chairman, and
Joseph w. Burris, member of the
Civil Service Commission, also was on
today's calendar. Janson and Burris
voted for Lengel's reinstatement last
Spring after hearing charges of in
efficiency.
