essary so that the people will un- derstand the matter little better. At the first meeting that I had with the mayor and the chairman l of the board 1 told them that my candidate was Tony MarChesi, all | intelligent and efficient fireman who ! had a fine record, and who would | have made a good officer.
 1 The age of the candidate and l his length Of service was discussed
 for some time, and then suddenly ! the mayor made the following state mont, to myself and the chairman: 1 I do not want to be classed as too selfish in this matter. but l wish to call your attention to the fact that there is another fireman that de- serves your consideration for pro- motion. and l would like to see him promoted I refer to Joseph Yer ano. who beside having the same requirements of any other man IS also my nephew and has married q niece of mine
 'I immediately stated that while I believed Mr. Marchesi a little bet ter fitted than Verano, yet I was willing to compromise as to the name of the candidates especially in view of the very small and al- most insignificant difference in the qualities between Marchcsi ana Ncrano.
 'I repeatedly made the statement l 10 the mayor and the chairman and also to the full board at priv ate meeting held previous to the ap- pointmcnt that 1 believed the 1tal-
 ans were entitled to recognition in the matter of appointment to the
 junior official force of the depart 1 but also on account of efficiency in 1 the department.
 Involves Present Member ] II am not discussing the merit Of . the gentleman who received the ap- pointment, who l understand is a good fireman, but l do remember l that he was a candidate last Novem-
 Der when another man much young [ ,r and with shorter length of serv- ! ice was appointed, not at my re- quest, but with my assent and vote i in consequence of the representa- 1 tons to mo at that time, by a gentle man who is still a member of the board) What I honestly believe is 1 this: that not less than 95 per cent | of the tiremen now on duty (cXcept- ! ing probably the newest ones ap- pointed in the last few months) are 1 able and capable 10 cover the posi- ! ton of Lieutenant, and among them l count both Marchesi and Verano.
 "I am loath 10 believe what a
 friend told ne a few days ago, re 1 garding the matter. His statement
 is as follows: The mayor was afraid of having Ncrano appointed fearing 1 that he might have been accused ot nepotism, and since he could not get l Nerano he decided that Marchesi
 should not get the appointment, fol
 lowing the wrong principle, that if
 there is nothing in it for me, why
 should others get something?
 T refrain from discussing the statement of the mayor as l might
 have to recall matters which would
 reopen some sore spots in the politi- , cal and municipal life of the city,
 but l cannot avoid repeating again
 my displeasure at the action of the
 mayor of refusing to announce my
 resignation and preventing me from
 doing so before the appointment.

terday and last night. It was expect cd the jury would be completed to- day and that the detcnse would in dicate exactly what PCacoX's defense would be.
 Although Sydney A. Syme, chief defense counsel for young PeacoX. denied the authenticity of the con- fession authorities said they obtain ed from PeacoX after the death Of his wire, Dorothy, he made it plain yesterday the defense would not at tempt to deny pe&CoN killed her in their apartment in four-'amily l house on the outskirts of Mount Vernon late one Sunday night last April. In fact, Syme made point of telling each prospective juror that ! PeaCoX himself would take tn" stand and tell of killing Dorothy, and ask d if this fact would preju.ire them in reaching their verdict. lie also said PeacoX would tell of his at | tempt to burn the body on the road side five days later.

Beyond this ! however, he gave no intimation Of ! Tow he would combat the state contention that the killing was pre- meditated.
 i To combat the prosecution at ! tempt to show that PeacoX deliber- | ately planned to establish an ahbi with the aid Of Miss Dorothy New
 man Of New York, the defendant will testify concerning hIs relations with Miss Newman. Syme said Pea ] COX met her at a Broadway dance l hall on election night last November after his bride of only few m' nthS had left him.
 1 In January, Syme told the tales, man, Dorothy agreed to a reConcili
 alton. PeacoX furnished the apart. ment in Mt. Vernon. and then triet
 to make "go' of it again. They
 remained together only 10 days
 Then Mrs. PeaCoX, who was 21
 went back to New York. and her
 husband, according to Syme, resum
 cd his illicit relations with Mis-
 Newman, whom it is understood th,
 state will call as a witness.

Takes American Figures

Washington. Sept. 17.-tPy--In in-
 sisting that the American navy'S
 fleet Of S-inch gun cruisers of ten
 the British government is taking the
 figures which once were arrived at
 by the American navy general board
 as representing the requirements Of
 this nation.
 These figures were put forward
 only little more than two years ago
 In the midst of the controversy be-
 tween the United States and Great
 Britain on the cruiser question at the
 tri-partite naval limitation confer ence a Geneva. Britain opposed any S-inch gun cruisers and it was upon
 that proposition in the main that the
 barley broke down.
 Great Britain proposed as it's mini mum requirement in cruisers total of about 450.0 tons The United States objected to such a large ton mage and finally offered to limit its cruiser strength 10 255.o00 tons to be made up of IS to,000-ton, S-inch ships to be built. and the ten 7,5o0- . ton 6-inch ships then in commits sion.
 Received Coolidge Request , The cutting of the American figure to such a low level was made after . the navy general board had compiled , with a request from the Coolidge k administration to determine the , number of S-inch gun ships with wide cruising radius which would :, be necessary to balance the battle F. fleet and clear the channels of com ~ merce of raiders.
 |. There is no indication that the . board has changed its viewpoint as . to the necessary number of this type : of craft. Great Britain has con- ; ceded this number in the present ,. negotiations and the hitch now is on - the proposition of what character of :. ships is 10 be constructed to make . up the 30,000 tons difference be- % tween the Geneva proposal of the :, United States and the present ton ,. mage necessary 10 bring about s equality between the British and " American cruiser forces in 1886.
 The board holds that the smaller - cruiser equipped with 6-inch guns |" fails to meet American needs be- {" cause of it's limited cruising radius 1. and it's consequent lessened value as :. force 10 combat commerce raiders ~ or 10 take it's place with the fleet
 during long range operations k. Supports General Rcard ~ Thus far in the present neGotia- VI tions. at least. the administration is z, supporting the general board in Q. favor Of the S-inch gun ship as ~ against the G-inch gun craft. It is no = secret that the American govern- 4 ment would be willing 10 forego the - construction of the $0,000 tons now ' In controversy. However, the British !. requirement of &&9,o0o tons is con- .. ceded anI this additional tonnage is SO necessary 10 produce parity between '' the fleets

WARDEN ADVISES
OF STOCK SHOW

A special train will be made
NJ at Grand Forks to accommodate
farmers from Montana and the
Dakotas who are taking advant-
e of the low rates to attend the
International Livestock Exposition
at Chicago November 80 to De-
cember Z. Farmers from this sec
tion who plan to attend are urged
to notify the County Agent.
Arrangements may be made for
all from this county to go in a
group leaving local points Novem-
Der 80 and to secure hotel accom-
modations in a body.
A rate of one half fare is being
granted by the Great Northern
with tickets on sale November 80.
Tickets are good until December
II. This permits ample time to
see the show and visit middle
western points before returning.
Entries for the big event are
greater than at any time in the
history of the show. More live
stock, more crop exhibits, as we'll
as better educational and enter.
tainment features will greet the
opening crowd. The U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, various state
agencies, and many private in
stitutions are furnishing educa-
tional exhibits that are fascinat-
ing and instructive. The show is
characterized as a National Eight
day University.
In additional to the livestock
exposition, three other shows will
BIT held simultaneously. The Inter
national Grain and Hay Show in
which Montana is always a big
winner, the National Wool Show
and the National Turkey Show
will all draw their interested spec
tators with the great annual
roundup Of finest products of
farms and ranges and a show in
which Montana farmers are TAX
ing more interest annually.
