At Virginia City's Fourth Of July cele-
bration in 1856 a baseball game had
been scheduled as the principal feature
Of the entertainment program. When
the day arrived, however. the game had
to be postponed. The snow was SO deep
that it was impossible for the players to
run the bases.
The next largest celebration ever held
in Montana's old Capital city was staged
in 1876. The late Thomas j. Farrell was

A considerable settlement followed,
with two centers. One of these-Crab-
town, named in honor Of one of the dis
coverers-was located near the later site
of the international hotel at the head Of
Main street. The other-Hopkinsville-
was built aroun the present site of the
Federal building, and received its name
in honor of the Widow Hopkins, q popu-
lar boarding house keeper there.
The gulch became known as Last
Chance and it retained this name until
october 80, when the entire settlement
was given the name, Helena. AS was fire.
Stanley kept the first gold washed from
the gulch and had it made into a ring
which he wore until his death.
BY July 4, 1865, Helena had become a
somewhat p~retentious city, the CONNER
cial center for several surrounding
camps. To the southwest. about our
miles up Grizzly gulch, was Park City.
and about the same distance up Orc
gulch n one mile east of Park
City, was Unionville, originally called
Roosevelt City after an uncle Of the late
ex-president. who was interested In mines
there.
On September IT. 1864, there arrived
at Last Chance a 21-year-old youth by
the name of James w. Whitlach. He
was born in pennsylvania, n before
coming to Helena had mined in Colorado,
Nevada and Idaho. When he reached
Last Chance, all the and had been taken
up. He went into the hills to the south
of Helena and a few weeks later (early
in February discovered the Union lode.
This Union lode was rich from the grass
roots" and Whitlach rapidly developed 1t
to the point where it was a paying en-
terprise. This and other mines made
Unionville and Park City prosperous CEN
tiers and several mills were built and
equipped to treat the free-milltng ores.
In less than five months, Jim Whit
ZACH was a Montana millionaire. n one
Of the first outstanding acts of his after
wealth began to pour in his direction,
was to determine upon a celebration Of
his success by giving Helena q Fourth
of July she would remember. Unionville
had become something OF a city. and
coaches made hourly trips from Helena to
that camp and to Park City. The roads
up Orc Elmo and Grizzly gulches were

was made in a few minutes.
About two weeks prior to the Fourth,
carpenters were busy erecting a pavilion
of no mean dimensions. This was to

He asserted Sapiro had been guilty
of improper work as an attorney,

Sapiro traced to articles printed in
Fords Dearborn Independent might
have been occasioned "by his own

the willy senate veteran, denied re-
peatedly that he ever. had for t'one
second represented the United States
Grain Growers, Inc, or accepted a
fee from them, denying two entries to
that effect in his office records, but
finally admitted he had accepted $3.50
for legal services.
His admission came after Senator
Reed had read into the record a long
letter written by sapiro to the pooling
committee of the American Farm
Bureau Federation He said he
thought that the letter had been
written to the organization of the
United States Grain Growers, but the
document revealed that it had been
written after that group was or

Senator Reed loosed his attack,
which also was a revelation of one
of Ford's lines of defense, in the alb

FRENCH REFUSAL
WILL NOT HALT
DISARMAM ENT
President Coolidge, Disap-
pointed by France, Is
Still Hopeful

WASHINGTON, April P)-France's
refusal to join in the American pro-
posed naval limitation conference at
Geneva, even as an observer, is re-
ceived by President Coolidge with
disappointment, but he does, not be-
lieve it will materially affect the ne
gotiations planned by the United
states, Great Britain and Japan.
Plans for the conference, to be held
after June /, will go forward, it was
said today at the White House, and
meanwhile the president is hopeful
that Italy, who refused as did France
to be an active participant, may de-
eide to sit at the table as an OBJ
server.
Viewed at the White House and
state departments as a flat refusal
the French note suggested to some Of
ficials that France is merely reserv-
ing decision and may at a later date
join the three-power parley The
concluding passage Of the note reads;
"It (the French governmenD would
certainly have liked to- be able to
decide now as to the cordial invitation
which has been sent it. 1t likes at
least to think that the American gov
ernment will appreciate the reasons
which make it duty under the pres
ent circumstances to defer any de-
cision as to the possible participation,
even as simple observer, in conver-
sations on a limited subject touching
on the question of disarmament"
Reiterating tbs contention that it
cannot allow "the weakening of the
authority of the league of nations,
already invested with the problem of
disarmament in which naval arma-
ments cannot be separated from land
and aerial armaments,' the Paris
government declared a new element
had arisen (which imposes itself
upon u.s."
The new circumstances, the note
set forth, is the favorable reception
which it declared the leagues pre-
paratory disarmament commission has
given the French proposal for pre-
scribing total tonnage for optional
