Taft RidiCuIed for
TheQryy Which He
Seeks Renlus' Death

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 27. - So
badly damaged is the theory by which
Charles p. Taft, II, son of the ex-
President and Chief Justice Of he Su-
rreme Court, is trying to railroad
George Remus to death, that the trial
Judge himself was moved to remark
upon it, from the bench yesterday.
Taft is special prosecutor in the
trial of Remus for the murder of his
wife, who he says drove him tempo
rarily insane by conspiring with pro-
hibition agent Dodge to keep him in
all and swindln him out of millions Of
bootlegging profits.
Taft's Vision.
Taft's theory that Remus' bootleg
ring sent him to kill Imogene, his wife,
and carried him out of the park in a
special car provided for the purpose,
rs part Of a general conspiracy to sill
pnce the woman.
An automobile salesman named Hull
version testified yesterday that it was
he. coming upon Remus by chance,
who took him up in a car and to the
railroad station.
"Dissipated by Evidence"
During an argument in which the
judge implied he might have to strike
from the record all remarks of Taft
about the Remus conspiracy" he said
to Mr. Taft; "a good deal of your
theory of the case has been dissipated
by the evidence"
1t is the opinion of the observers 1T
the trial that powerful influences are
at work to dispose of Remus quickly,
before he can tell too many of the
secrets of the prohibition service graft
through which he enriched himself
while King of the Bootleggers.

embarrassment by issuing statement

Of iewelry from Stephenson, the
warden of the Indiana state peni-
Tertiary here has placed Stephenson
in solitary confinement on bread and

Senator Robinson was forced by
Stephenson's evidence to admit that

undisputed boss Of Indiana Republican
politics, and that his wife was given
also a valuable pearl necklace.
Gives Evidence.
This adds one more to the revela-
tions by which Stephenson from his
prison cell seeks to revenge himself
on his former lieutenants who pre-
vent his pardon after conviction of the
murder of girl.
Stephenson recently gave out
number of letters and receipted bills
which materially aided in convicting
Mayor Duvall of Indianapolis Of cor
rupt practices, and removing him
from office.
Governor Jackson of Indiana will
soon go on trial, and will face the evil
dence of Stephenson. Meanwhile Sen
ator Robinson is getting undesirable
publicity, and heavy pressure is being
brought to bear on Stephenson by
the warden here, Jackson man, to
shut him up.

Workers.
Atterbury in Lead.
President Atterbury of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, with the Morgan
banking group which dominates many
of the big industries including blum
nous coal and anthracite, directs this
campaign to crush unionism IN the
mines. Atterbury is so bitterly anti
labor that he even attacked the con-
sentative Herbert Hoover, in a con-
ference at the White House some
years ago at which President Harding
asked the railroad executives to settle
the rail shop strike.
Since that time Atterbury has re-
sisted all attempts of the shopmen
to escape from his company union,
and he has led every attempt to wipe
out other unions in Pennsylvania that
came in contact with the railroad in
dustry.
The Pennsylvania now has heavy
investments in the southern coal ter
ritory, and is carrying a large vol
ume Of traffic from that region.
Morgan & Co. can count upon the
support of Daniel Willard of the B.
& 0.
The Pirate Crew.
Political conditions are now Just
what Atterbury and the Morgans de-
sire. MELONS man FIs..er IS gov
ernor Of Pennsylvania. Fisher was
formerly counsel for the New York
Central. He will not be shocked by
any excesses which may be committed
by the coal and iron police against
the strikers. Mellon is in Washing
ton, representing in the cabinet the
viewpoint of Pittsburgh Coal and the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Secretary of
Labor Davis is Pittsburgh banker,
and knows when to keep still. And
President Coolidge has a cousin, Bill
Coolidge, who is autocrat of the ma
chine-gun-ruled county of Logan,
West Virginia, stronghold of non
union coal mining.
What Report Could Cover.
If the United Mine Workers are to
get results, they will do so by lining
up in an immediate demand that a
Senate special committee visit the
strike zone in Pennsylvania and re-
port upon the suffering there. Such
a committee, if, secured, could cover
the intrigues of Atterbury and the
Morgans to ruin hundreds of thous-
ands of families in the unionized coal
fields by an inevitable economic"
shift of the industry from north to
south, from union to non-union stand

COOLIDGE SORE ON COMMERCE
CHAMBER.

WASHINGTON, (FP) Nov. 27.--
Because the committee on taxation,
appointed by the U. S. Chamber Of
Commerce, proposed tax cuts amount
ing to s400, 100000, and because the
Chamber membership then ratified
this scheme by a referendum vote Of
81 per cent in tho affirmative, Presi-
dent Coolidge got very sore at that
body. The press conference on Nov.
%, heard all about his wrath at this
extravagant proposal, which is a chal-
ienge to the wisdom Of Secretary
Mellon.
Mellon Fights Hoover.
The Chamber is a pet Of Herbert
Hoover. AS the coming of the pres.
idential outburst followed a cabinet
meeting, it seemed TO indicate that
the break between Mellon and Hoover
had become an open one, to be re-
Elected by Melons backing an anti
Hoover candidate as successor to
Coolidge.

M0ntana's state board of health will
receive $14, 700 in federal funds which
had been withheld under ruling Of
Comptroller General iHcCarl that states
which have not liquidated obligations
to the federal government cannot re-
reive federal aid.
Montana a few years ago incurred an
obligation Of about 847 900 as q result
OF federal money advanced to fight forest
fires. This indebtedness now has been
reduced to about 5000.
The exception to the ruling was se-
Cured as q result of representations to
the comptroller generals office that upon
q previous occasion Montana was more
than seven years recovering money which
1t had advanced in fighting fires upon
government owend lands.
Federal highway funds to match state
funds are not affected by the ruling OF
the comptroller general and the four
will receive their share Of the road
money. The other states affected by
the ruling are Tennessee, North Carolina
n Louisiana. Their obligations are
bonds held by the United States as COL
lateral for money lent the states during
Indian wars.
There also arises the question whether
the annual contributions Of csc, 900 in
federal money to and grant colleges will
Ne paid. These include the Louisiana
State university agricultural and me-
chanical colleges: Montana State Col
lege Of Agriculture and Mechanical Art;
University Of Tennessee: North Carolina
State College OF Agriculture and Engi-
neering.
1t is probable the matter will come
before congress.

NEW HIGHWAY
OPENS REGION
ELK SUMMIT COUNTRY IN IDAHO
OVER MONTANA LINE
Section Already Famous for Its Game.
Fish and Scenery, VIII Be Made Ac-
cessible from East by Extension of
Treasure State Route

The completion Of the Lewis and
Clark highway west from LOlo Hot
Springs into the Elk Summit district
In Idaho will open up one of the best
scenic and game sections Of the west,
according to r. A. Cherry, official in
the Lolo forest office in Miss0ula. The
road Will be completed next year.
Already the Elk Summit section has
become famous as a game country" Mr..
Cherry says. II know OF three parties
coming from the far east this year to
hunt there. Fifty dollars for an Idaho
foreign game license and an expense Of
$40 to $50 a day to pack into the country
doesn't mean much to them, because
they are sure Of getting their elk"
Fishing Excellent
The Elk Summit country is fast be-
coming known to Missoula anglers as a
great place to fish. According to MI.
Cherry, $3.50 has been taken in already
this season for Idaho foreign fishing
licenses. They can be bought at the
Lolo forest offices at a cost of $5 each
He expects that as many more will be
bought before the fishing season closes,
One OF the most interesting features
of he country is the fact that it is a
moose preserve. They won't be driven
out of the country even If tourists do
come In rather large numbers, Mr.,
Cherry believes.
THE moose are hard to bother. II you
mind your own business, they'll mind
theirs. But II you bother them, they'll
have you on the run pretty quick and
they can run FAST" he says. There are
also plenty of deer and elk In the Sec
ton.
There is also some outside interest in
the section. Only a few weeks ago two
staff photographers of the Northern Pa
cific railroad made a trip to Elk Sum-
NIT and made and collected all the
photographs possible. Ranger "Bill' Bel
Of the Elk Summit ranger station has 9
fine collection Of wild game photographs
There is only one other section Of the
United States that I believe can com
| pare with It," Mr.. Cherry concluded
and that hasn't near as much to Offer
in the way Of wild game"

TICKS PREYING
ON GAME BIRDS
FERGUS COUNTY SPORTSMAN FINDS
PRAIRIE CHICKEN WITH RING OF
PARASITES ABOUT NECK
This May Explain Marked Scar
city of Upland Birds In That Region
Others Believe That Early Rains and
Wet Season Interferred With Matching

All reports coming In from the coun-
try continue to indicate hat the clos
ing season on upland birds this fall
was wise, for they are very scarce, c0m-
paratively speaking.
There is still speculation among the
sportsmen as to the cause Of this short
age, but undoubtedly the late and heavy
rains in the spring, during the Matching
season, was responsible for the greater
part OF this, both last year and this
season.
An interesting incident is related by
one OF the prominent me1 OF Fergus
county In this connection. Last season
he noticed q nest with IL chickens
Matched. AS the season went on they
began to disappear and he watched the
location. wondering where the birds went
Finally there were but two or three left
/ and one day he saw one Of the new
hatch crossing the road right in front
Of him. 1t was a fair-sized bird by now
but seemed very weak and shaky. He
had his son run and catch 1t and ar
examination showed a perfect ring Of
ticks embedded around its neck. That
citizen believes hat the ticks did a lot
OF damage last year, especially as the
ticks we're more numerous then than IN
any previous season for many years. It'E
an interesting theory, even II 1t has nc
special significance. The bird was pow
erless to free itself from the pests around
its neck, of course, though On any other
part of its BODY 1t could get them of
in q fifty.
