CARBON INNATE in
PEN CHARGED WITH
SPOKANE KILLINGS

Jacob Bangart "a, inmate of the
Montana state penitentiary at Deer
Lodge from Carbon county, has sign
ed a confession involving him in two
Spokane, Washington, murders. His
confession stated that he participated
in the murder Of John Ivester, rail
way express cashier, and Edward An
derson, service station operator, and
a series of robberies, but that an
other man by the name of George
Miller did the actual shooting.
Bangart was brought to Carbon
county last November by Sheriff
John Albert from Walla Walla,
Wash, wanted in Carbon county for
Bearcreek pool hall robbery in jan
uary, 1929. He was tried in district
court here on November 26 and was
sentenced to serve 10 months in the
state institution by Judge R. G.
Stong. He has been in the peniten-
tiarv about three months.
Spokane county officers said they
would ask Montana authorities to re-
lease Bangart for Spokane trial.
His identification was established by
Lawrence Albert, Spokane county in
dentifiction officer, and an authority
on ballistics. He said he traced the
purchase of bullets found in Ivester's
body to Miller and came upon Ban
CART as Miller's associate. ~

FEBRUARY MOTOR
LICENSE FEES NET
CARBON S4,1S4.75

Carbon county's allotment for the
February receipts from automobile
license fees, less administrative ex-
penses, amount to $4,184.75, accord
ing to figures of the state board Of
examiners.
The entire state enjoys increased
license fees which are traceable to
two causes, the greater number of
automobiles in operation and higher
license fee. The fees for license
plates are graduated according to
weight, in keeping with the law pass
ed by the last legislature, the mini
mum being $40 whereas it was $3.50
in former years.
About $4,000 license plates have al
ready been distributed in the state.
At the state prison about so men are
engaged in office work connected
with the distribution while 20 men
are employed in the plate factory,
The factory has completed the run
of plates for this year and is now en-
gagged in making those for 1881,
which again will be white, with black
figures, the same as those of 1929.
In addition to saving the state
thousands of dollars the plate factory
at the prison will make an additional
saving through operation of the plan
of adopting alternate eolored plates
each year The 1880 plates are
orange with black figures. The 1881
plates will be white with black num-
erals. The plan Of using only the
three colors does away with the waste

BELGIAN ROYALTY
VISITS LUXOR TOMB
King and Queen Defy Reputed
Curse of Pharaohs, Entering
Tomb of King Tut.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LUXOR, Egypt, March 25.-The King
and Queen of the Belgians yesterday
def1ed the reputed curse of the
pharaohs.
With Howard Carter, excavator of
the tomb of Tut-ankh- Amen. King
Albert and Queen Elizabeth visited the
tomb in the Valley of the Kings and
neither indicated any bad luck was
expected. Thereafter the King walked
nearly two miles from his yacht into
Karnak. He will go to Carlo Wednes-
day.
The alleged curse of the Pharaohs is
a popular superstition in England,
where many persons believe that any
one who touches the tomb of an
ancient Egyptian ruler will suffer q
quick violent death.
The superstition was recalled last
monh in the suicide of Lord Westbury,
an elderly British peer, whose son had
been connected with the Tut-ankh-
Amen excavation and himself had died
the year before. AS Lord Westbury's
funeral was in progress, the hearse
struck and killed a small boy, thus
causing a renewal of the speculation.
At about the same time one of the
employees of the Egyptian section of
the British Museum died, and that was
added to the list.

CLOSE UPS OF ALASKAN
BEAR FEATURE LECTURE
Assistant Director Of Zoo Tells of
Wild Life in Talk at
Y. M. C. A.

Rare closeup movie shots of the
Alaskan brown bear in his native haunts
and pictures of many other wild animals
of the Northwestern territory featured
an illustrated lecture on wild life in
Alaska given last night by Ernest p.
Walker, assistant director of the Zoo, in
the lobby of the Central Y. M. C. A.
For many years Mr.. Walker directed
Federal fish and game work in Alaska
and he is regarded as one of the Gov
ernment's outstanding authorities on
animal life there. He blasted the popu-
lar idea that the big Alaskan bears are
bloodthirsty by pointing out that he
often had slept in the open while they
prowled nearby, and had been awakened
by their footsteps through the brush.
The movies of the bear were taken
by John M. Holsworth, while many of
the slides shown were from photo
graphs snapped by Mr. Walker. The
speaker was introduced by e. A.
Drumm of the Y. M. C. A. staff. The
lecture was one Of series to be given
in the 'Y" lobby on Monday evenings.

after buying liquor with him, relieved
him of $50.
Shaw told police Of the ninth pre-
