CITY AUTOISTS EASY
ON TRAFFIC SIGNALS
Statistics Show Only Twelve Lights
Damaged in 1927.

Considering the number of mo-
florists and the number of traffic
signals, Indianapolis motorists are
not very hard on electric traffic
signals, according to City Game
well Superintendent William B.
Griffis."
Reckless drivers only damaged
twelve of the electric signals last
year The average cost of repair
was SIG.
In cases where the motorist was
caught and had insurance, the cost
of repairing the signals were
collected from the insurance COM
panies.
When one of the signals is so
badly damaged it must be replaced
the cost is 500.

Wolf Point, Jan. 18.-The excellent
financial condition of the residents of

fact that more than two and three
quarters million dollars are on de-
post in the six banks of the county.
In the two local banks, the First
State and the First National, the to-
tai deposits are $1,002, 791.44, which is
a marked increase over the amount

they were in October. The amounts

Tell Cal to Keep Nose
Out of Havana Farley

Washington.-(FP)-Pres. Coolidge
is now being advised by the Latin
American press, and by large sec
ton of public opinion in Latin Amer
lea to cancel his trip to Havana tC
open the Sixth Pan-American Con-
ference. The reason for this warning
that the atmosphere in Havana will be
unpleasant is the sending of 1000
more marines to Nicaragua to destroy
the rebel government set up by Gen.
SANDING.
News that deserving American ma
rines have trained the SANDING sol
diers in modern methods of warfare
has further complicated the problem
before Coolidge and his state and ma
w departments. If these Americans
are captured, will they be tried fol
murder under civil or military law
or will they be tried for treason anC
shot, or will they be shot as desert
ers in the face of the enemy? AnC
since there is no legal state of war
how can there be an enemy?
Another worry of the administra
ton is whether Mexico will keep the
gag in its mouth thruout the Havana
sessions. Ambassador Morrow has
fenced Mexico for a while, but tn,
Nicaraguan matter is too closely re
lated to Mexican national pride an,
national sovereignty to be passed il
silence when Nicaraguan patriots ar
being moved down by American ma
chine guns. Argentina will protest
unofficiallv if not through her dele
gates at Havana. Mexican liberal
dislike to see Argentina take the lea
in Latin-American expression.

! $177,000, and makes available $4,000
of power plant revenues for power
plant operation"
Other recommendations for the
reclamation service included: For the

SEN. j. w. SCHNITZLER
WINTERS AT SAN DIEGO

Senator J. w. Schnitzler of Roose-
welt county, who with his wife and
two girls are spending the winter at
San Diego, has written Producers
News to have his paper changed from
Froid to his new address.
In a recent issue of the San Diego
Union, morning daily, appears a
two column cut of the senator and
his wife and two daughters seated in
front of an apartment house where
they are guests for the winter. The
California paper intimates that
Schnitzler may bring home a Ryan
Brougham, manufactured at the same
plant in San Diego where he procured
the planes he uses in Montana.
The San Diego story of Senator
Schnitzler's visit is as follows:
"San Diego looks mighty attractive
to J. w. Schnitzler, Flying rancher''
of F'roid, Mont, and owner of a San
DiegO-made Ryan monoplane, who is
here with his wife and two daughters
to spend the winter.
FLORIDA cities and Los Angeles
have beckOned the Schnitzler family
during past winters but this year they
were determined to give San Diego g
thorough trial and all declared them.
selves deeply impressed with the eli
mate and various attractions here
The Montana family's visit to Sar
Diego is largely due to the efforts o.
the San Diego California club will
which they carried on considerable
correspondence and which aided then
in getting settled in San Diego.
"Schnitzler's Ryan plane which ha
gained him the title of the "flyinj
rancher" up north, is practically
duplicate of Colonel Lindberg's fam
Gus spirit of st. Louis" He use
the ship constantly to oversee worl
on his 8,000-acre wheat ranch in Mon
tana and while not claiming to be al
expert pilot, he declares he can fl
the ship well enough to keep a chez
on the progress of his farm projects.
"In addition to farming the Mon
tana visitor is the president of tn
First State Bank of Froid and is
state congressman. Since the legisla
ture in the state convenes only ever
other year, Schnitzler is able to spen
alternate winters with his family in
warm climate.

do not like it nearly as well ais south
ern California" Mr.. Schnitzler sal
yesterday. Although enjoying til
months he spent in Los Angeles an
vicinity, the Montana rancher adde
that he believes San Diego will
his vacation headquarters on the P;
eific in the future. He expresses til
opinion that San Diego has unlimite
opportunities to develop as an avi;
ton center and spoke with enthusiasts
OF the ideal flying conditions here"

They found hidden on the farm about

Upon their arrival at Plentywood
and AGAIN going over the report which
they had in their possession they were
not satisfied with the results of their

Notwithstanding to A. j. Kit

During the last four months, TO-
600 samples of spring wheat have

notify the embassy of the matter, but
did call on E. E. Swift, a Sinclair oil
man, who formerly had been a depart
ment Of justice agent along the MeXi-
can border, and had been chief over
Avila when the latter was a secret
service agent. Swift, according to
Mclaughlin, later told him that he
had reported the affair to the embas-
sy. Then Avila called on Mclaughlin
and complained that Mclaughlin had
"made lot of trouble" by reporting
the so-called Lane document.
Avila Fails to Appear
Sen. Johnson of California, veering
away from his earlier attitude of con-
demning all the Avila documents,
cross examined Mclaughlin as though
to try to prove him prejudiced against
Avila, and financially tied up with
Mexican government policies. Final
ly Mclaughlin demanded that Avila
be brought to confront him before the
committee. This was promised by
Chairman David Reed, who said he
had ordered Avila to appear and the
Hearst document-fancier had failed to
obey.
State Department Denies knowledge
of Papers
Since the Mclaughlin testimony as
to the close connection between the
American ambassador and Avila sup
ported the testimony given earlier by
Robert Murray, former correspondent
of the New York World, the logic of
the situation calls for testimony by
Sheffield and Secretary Kellogg. The
latter has stated to the press that the
embassy never employed Avila MOI
bought or received any papers from
him. This air of innocence is assum-
ed somewhat awkwardly in view OF
the fact that many things charged il
the Hearst documents were believed
or recited by Sheffield and his asso
ciates, and were confidentially echoed
in the State Department, only a veal
or two ago.

Great Falls.-The honor method Of
assessment which was placed in Oper-

SCISSORS office in determining the val

be used during the 1928 assessment
period, according to announcement of

Tuesday. The assessment period for
the current year will commence In
March.
AS during the past two years, as
sessment lists will be mailed to own
ers of property in the rural districts
and the assessors office will depend
largely on the truthfulness of the in
formation supplied by such property
owners in determining the true ana
assessed valuations of real and per
sOnal property. The lists will, how.
ever, be checked against all available
county records in order to prevent any
property being withheld or omitted.

AS result of charge that he was
intoxicated on Christmas day, Julius
YOungman was arrested Tuesday and
sentenced to 80 days in Jail by the
Indian tribal court. He is said to be
confined in a cell in the former county
Jail adjacent to the Agency offices.
1t is the general understanding that
Youngman was asked by the Indian
authorities to disclose the source, of
the firewater, with the alternative of
Jail sentence, and was sentenced up
on his refusal to give the desired in

Strong doubt of the jurisdiction of
