Power Line Troubles
in Early Winter Storm

The, interruption in the service OF
the Montana-Da Dakota Power Company
that occurred on Monday morning,
October rs, was the most serious IN
terruption that has occurred in the his
tory of the Company. The u Oh
the interruption as is well know was
a sleet and snow storm that Is repor-
ted to have been the worst OF its
kind that has occurred in more than
twenty years and it Is reasonable TO
presume that it will probably be a
long time. before there will be a re-
currence. The territory affected was
the towns on the kenplare Division in
Northwestern North Dakota and the
towns on the Scobey branch in North
eastern Montana.
The principal damage was caused
by ice accommodating on the wires, IN
sulators and crossarms. the weight
of which caused the lines to break
and crossarms and poles to be level
ed TO the ground. We are showing a
picture of a piece of the wire on
which the ice accumulated. You Will
note by comparing the thickness OF
the ice with the two tumblers thai are
in the picture that the thickness IS
approximately 6 inches in diameter.
You will also notice the othere pie
ture a piece of wire with the ice &C
emulation and by comparing the
thickness Of the ice with the mans
body it gives a fair idea of the
amount of sleet that accumulated on
the wires. BY actual weight the Ice
that accumulated weighed 6A lbs. to
the foot.
Sleet storms are not unusual IN
other parts of the country and where
there is an accumulation of ice on
a conductor | inch in diameter, II Is
considered an unusual amount. The
fact that the ice accumulated on the
wires during the storm in Northeast
ern Montana and Northwestern North
Da'-ota was in excess Of 6 inches will
igva YOU some idea Of how unusual
this storm was. In addition to the
slest. as much as "a inches of wet
snow fell in various places.
As a result of the sleet accumula-
ting on the lines, more than five
miles Of main transmission line was
PULLED down south of Plentywood and
two miles of line leading from the

Mr.. Cash Paid Cash.

Oh-ohl Somebody else than Mr..
Ewald seems to have paid something
in acknowledgment of a favor in the
form of an Office under the Tammany
administration. And paid it to the
same Mr., Healy who until lately was
district leader and held subordinate
municipal position. And, strikingly
enough, this person who paid is named
Cash. This Mr.. Jacob Cash has Just
testified before the Federal prosecuting
attorney for the Manhattan district
that in April, 1927. the day on which
he was appointed by Mayor Walker to
be city marshal, he drew a check for
$4,000 payable to bearer, Endorsed it,
got the cash in bills from the bank and
turned them over to Mr.. Healy. He
also made a present of q diamond and
emerald bracelet to Mrs Healy, who
has fancy for jewels as Mr.. Healy
has for suburban homes. The district
attorney has records of slips showing
deposits by Mr. Healy shortly afterward
of 81 800 and 500 in bills. And he has
also receipt for $3.50 paid by Mr.. Cash

A Rare Household Collection.

One Of Greater New York's most sus-
pected characters is John Diamond,
BY whose sobriquet of Legs" he is far
better known to the police and the I'M
derworid. Fer some years, whenever
trouble has occurred in gangland, Legs"
has been queried. In the course of
sixteen years he has been arrested no
less than twenty times, but only one
conviction stands against him, for a
robbery back in 1914. Whether this
has been due to his remarkable slip
periness or to his real innocence Of any
felonious enterprise is question. But
Diamonds associations have not been
nice. All of them have been suspects
or actual crooks. The source of his
livelihood has been mysterious. He was
once bodyguard 10 Little Augie," the
nom-de-gun of Jacob Orgen, leader of
q famous East Side strikebfeaking gang
and later Of beer racket, Then he
rose in the world. He became a leader
himself He accumulated wealth and
spent it. He held strictly to the code
of the gang. When in the fusillade that
gnuffed out Little Augie" he was
wounded, 50 that he lay for some weeks
In hospital, Legs" refused DO iden-
tify any suspects who were taken to his
bedside. He knew nothing about moth

hzdg else in here for me to identity;

bracelet. It Is also mentioned that a
suit Of clothes was bought By Mr.. Cash
for Mr.. r.. o. Tommaney, the same
Mr.. Tommaney who figured as the
borrower" Of Mrs. Ewald's money. Mr..
Cash is quoted by the district attorney
as remarking in explanation that "every
leader gets presents like that, and II
one doesn't sell an office another will"
All these are matters that VIII be
sifted by the judicial inquiry just or
dered by Gov. Roosevelt. Hints are
given that many other transactions and
instances of generosity and gratitude
will be brought to light. The bank ac-
counts of officials, past and present,
are being scrutinized and notably large
payments and deposits synchronized
with appointments to ONCE. Samuel
Seabury, former judge of the State Court
of Appeals, has been named by the
court, under Gov. Roosevelt's mandate,
to conduct the inquiry. He Is an inde-
pendent Democrat, who has never been
allied with the Tammany organization.
He is now in London, but will return
to this country at once and the hear
ings will begin Immediately upon his
arrival, Meanwhile there is O great
furry in Tammany circles and memories
are being searched for clues to awkward
evidences of unduly close relations be-
tween Office holders and office brokers.

don't identify nobody" And he did
not.
Lately, It Is whispered, LEGS" has
been fading out of the gang picture.
Things have gone wrong with him. He
has been out OF luck on several occa-
sions and some Of his suspected opera
tions have gone awry. Just why Is not
known, but the other day he quietly
slipped out Of town and out OF the
country. taking ship for Europe. Then
some inquisitive policemen noticed his
chauffeur talking with a man known
TO be on the frinSt of the beer racket
In Brooklyn and, following him, after
nabbing the suspect, they entered an
apartment occupied by friend of Dia-
mond and searched it. They found
several interesting articles. There were
dozen and half hand grenades, half
dozen iron pipe bombs, a gallon of
tear gas, some empty tear gas bombs,
five steel vests, signal flares and pis-
tolls, quantities OF machine gun and re-
vclyer ammunition and an arsenal of
fountain pen pistols" OF course, mo
body knew nothing" about the stuff
save that sailor man had left it there
in three suit cases, on paid storage, and
nobody knew where he now is.
And there its is. Johnny Legs" is on
the high seas. The dangerous stuff is
in police custody. There is nothing that
can be charged against any of the sus-
pects-"Legs' chauffeur, the man he
was talking with, the friend, the friends
wife, whose husband told her that the
suit cases, regarding which che had been
somewhat curious, was none of her
business. Perhaps when Johnny returns
from abroad, II he does, he viii be able
to enlighten the authorities as to the
ownership and the purpose of this in
teresting collection. But he probably
will do nothing Of the sort. Mean
while, it is interesting to wonder how
such assortments of curiosities are as
sembled, and why.

Three Famous Men
Retain Philosophy
From the Albany Evening News.


The people have again been treated
TO the annual meeting of three success
ful men, Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford
and Harvey Firestone. They are three
friends who have attained to far greater
heights than even other successful men.
And they have retained their homeiy
philosophy, the philosophy and outleok
on life that prevailed years ago In the
America OF the elders. They have kept
abreast Of the times, of course, but they
have the fundamentals that were taught
to boys many decades ago.
They recognize the machine age, but
they dc not seem to think that ma
chimes will mean that mankind can
cease working. They give the same ad-
vice IS Of old to young men, the advice
to work hard. Edison would have men
work 8 hours at manual labor and from
10 TO IL hours ut mental tasks, Evil
IDENTIFY Mr.. Edison believes the brains of
some can stand more than the muscles
of others, since he puts the limit at IL
hours.
We live In changed times, and the
times will change even more within the
next few years, but the old principles
will Still hold good. Clever moderns
may twist it and cynics may SCOT at II,
but the PHILOSOPHY of work that made
Amerlca great industrial country, that
brought success To so many citizens, e
IS true nov as &c ever was.

Sophisticated eyes, eyes that reach
down into the past and bring forth the
united dreams of millions of men, the
age-long search for the dream love,
Few men find it, or women, either: and

would have an unhappy termination, as

despite its fluid electrical units. The

But it is more than 'it." It Is the
