BOOK OFFERS "SWAMP" MRS. HOOVER
Dealers Seek to Break
Into Her Collection
Of Capital Lore

A recently published story that
the First Lady of the Land has a
hobby of collecting rare books,
pamphlets and etchings covering
the development of the National
Capital, q sort of washington
lana" was said today to have
added extra labor to Mrs. Hoover's
clerical staff at the White House.
Since the story appeared, Mrs.
Hoover has been the recipient of
scores of letters from book dealers
throughout the country. Some
times the book sellers, dealing in
old prints, send along descriptive
circulars in the hope Of making a
sale.
Prestige Is a Factor
Although this correspondence is
not subject to public scrutiny, it is
assumed that certain of these
book dealers are not so particular
about the price they may get for
a book as for the recognition and

Price Seems No Oh
ject, but Prestige Is
Big Consideration

All of such communications, it
is understood, are answered by
Mrs. Hoover through one of her
secretarial staff. Meanwhile, Mrs.
Hoover nowadays is reported to
have been on a hobby hunt" Of
old etchings of Capital scenes and
buildings and some favorite print
might be selected for greeting
scene from the White House next
Christmas.
No Sales Are Assured
At the same time, the impress
sion is that the White House is
not in the market for old books
or prints on a wholesale scale,
and importuning statesmen, writ
ing in from cities and towns all
through the country, have no
assurance of a sale, or even
acceptance of a gift, no matter
how attractive may be their let
ters and literature.

The guides, who make a busi-

Running from the KOblem
store, the trio went to Ninth

SOlOmOn's cab. They told him to
drive to Union and o Streets. Ar

quoted, ordered him to hold up
his hands.
Instead of complying, the cab
driver started his machine. Then,
according to police, one of the men
with Robinson fired shot, kill

Firms Refusal to Increase
Rate to rs Cents Will Pre-
cipitate New Rate War Here

Directors of the Diamond Cab
Company today are celebrating
the question of whether or not the
company should raise its rate, and
upon the decision hangs the re-
sumption of the taxi fare war.
The directors met this morning
with prospects of the session con-
tinuing until late today. The spe-
clflc question before the directors
Is whether or not they shall in
crease the first zone rate to 25
cents, or whether they shall per.
Sist in their present 20 cent rate.
Peoples Counsel Richmond B.
Keech was informed today that
rate cutting by virtually all com
panieS in the city will result If
the Diamond company fails to
raise its rate.
1t was learned that the COM
ranies which last Tuesday signed
q peace agreement in Mr.. Keech's s
office are prepared to scrap the
agreement unless the Diamond
Company adheres to the rate es-
tabliShed by the pact.
Diamond to Hold Firm
Under the agreement the min
mum cab rate was to be 25
cents and the maximum 35 cents.
Most of the companies signing
the agreement have put the new
fares into effect. But Diamond
refused to sign and is maintain
ing the 20-cent rate pending a
meeting of it's board of directors
today.
Harry Davis, head of the COM
pany, has stated that he does not
believe the board will agree to
change its rate.
This will mean the abrogation
of the peace agreement and will
be the sign of resumption Of rate
cutting activities.
Public Utilities Expected to Act
Mr.. Keech said today that he
thought it only natural that if
the Diamond Cab Company re-
fuses to raise it's rate the other
companies will lower theirs. He
foresaw little chance of keeping
any of the companies to the prices
set in the agreement.
The Public Utilities Commission
has about decided to take some
action in the taxicab situation, but
will not meet until Tuesday. At
that time it is expected to decide
to hold a general hearing on rates
but this could not be held for 20
days, and in the meantime the
rate war is expected to go merrily

Several Gases are Dismissed
BY Judge Goddard in
Regular Session

The law was finally relieved Of
two cases of long standing during

Judge o. F. Goddard of Billings.
Before court adjourned, the Judge
had ordered dismissed the cases of
]. s. Haley against Charlotte Dill
worth, and J. S. Haley against the
trustees of the Red Lodge-Rosebud
Irrigation company.
Complaints were filed by Haley
in 1925 and 1927; attorneys for
the defendants filed motions for
dismissal this week, charging fail
ure of the plaintiff to properly
prosecute the cases.
One suit had been brought
against Miss Dilworth as treasur-
er in Carbon county, and against
the company that furnished her
bond, for alleged misadministra-
tion of funds entrusted to the
treasurer's office. Haley, con-
contractor for the Red Lodge.
Rosebud Irrigation company, claim
ed that the treasurer had refused
to honor his claims and warrants
drawn on company funds deposited
with the county office, the treas
urer claiming that the claims were
not duly authorized by the direc-
tors of the company. A complaint
of the same nature was filed
against the directors of the COM
pany; no Conclusive action was
taken in regard to either.
The court also dismissed an ac-
tion by the state against M. j.
Dunn of the Montana and Dakota
Grain company, and a proceeding
by Mrs. J. A. McKinnon against
Mrs. Lola Hannula. A demurrer
was filed in the case of Dan Zen
20 against Joe Gregovich, a hear
ing being set for December a..

viewed by the court.
