UNREST HAS NOT YET DESERTED
 FOREIGN ZONES
The Get-Together Confer ence of World Powers Was Center of News But Many Nations Are Very Uneasy

New York, July 24-UP)-For- eign news this week centered again on Germany's crisis and the efforts of the international statesmen to
 solve 1t. The news from London, while inconclusive, was chiefly im- l portant in that 1t showed 8 genuine
 disposition of the powers to get to- gether in financial and political amity against a common foe-the worldwide depression.
 The measures adopted at Lon- don, while a temporary stop-gap,
 were devised to give Germany breathing spell while the financial experts of the seven world powers involved get together and work out the complicated problem of making the relief more permanent, if 1t should prove necessary.
 While the powers conferred in London, signs of unrest came from various parts of the world, pos sibly attributable in part to the de- pressed economic conditions. al- ways fruitful of agitation. Serious disorders occurred in Seville, where about IS persons were killed dur ing a general strike, and martial law was declared.

 Santiago.
 Widespread riots occurred in
 Bulgaria, where communists be-
 gan a premature agitation for a
 general strike set for August 1. | Poland had Russian spy trouble and executed a prominent member of it's army general staff, following
 that up with the arrest of an en- gineer accused of espionage. China continued to seethe. In ad-
 dition to it's internal troubles, the recent Korean rioting stirred up sentiment against Japan.
 The Rumanian royal family re- mained in the news when Princess Helene, divorced wife of King Car ol, left for England. with reports saying she had gone for good. Meantime, the three-day wedding ceremony of Princess Ileana, sister of Carol, and Archduke Anton Won Hapsburg, began in Rumania. A. fllip was given to the news from Russia by the arrival there of George Bernard Shaw and Lady Astor. two trenchant observers of modern life who's observations on communism are certain to prove interesting to the outside world.

 Washington. July 24-(UP)- The White House Is anxious to correct the impression that Secre- tary of State Stimson committed a last minute blunder at the Lon don economic conference and was in danger of being asked to re- sign.
 Stimson has received warm con- sratulations from MT Hoover ana is now going on what the state de- partment calls an "informatory vacation" to Berlin.
 The situation grew out or the fact that Stimson had insisted that the proposals for saving Germany adopted at London were Anglo American suggestions and that ne did not formally lay them before the conference as an American plan while at the same time the state department was insisting here the plan was worked out py President Hoover.
 The situation resulted in gossip to the effect that stimson nad bungled in going counter 10 the official administration version when he should have known that President Hoover wished 10 nave credit for the proposal in order to strengthen further the prest'ge which the administration won py taking the leadership in the mora torium proposal. The next press room deduction was that Stimsoh would be asked to resign. some of this gossip got into print.

 New York, July 24.--(UP)-- Tariffs and other world trade bar riers. world disarmament and can- cellation of World War debts must be considered by future world con- ferences, two internationally recog- nized economists agreed to-day while disagreeing on results of the world economic conference just concluded in London.
 Dr Irving Fisher, in a state ment to the United Press, hailed the London conference as "a great success" It is however, merely a first step" toward restoring world business stability, he said.
 Colonel Leonard P. Ayres of Cleveland said "the outcome of the world conference is disappointing but not disheartening." He added that "the more fundamental prob lems relating to separations, gov ernmental debts to tariffs and trade barriers will have to be considered in future conferences"
 Fishers comment added that "what was most needed was a re- duction in the American tariff, and a reduction in the debt owed to the United States by the allies on condition the allies corresponding ly reduce Germany's reparations bill"
 Other world needs he listed IS "world disarmament, and other as- surances of world peace, including membership of the United States in the world court and the league or nations"
 The complete statements:

early in the morning had not yet been
cared for. The night of the hanging
had been cold, the bodies were frozen
stiff, and bloody foam was frozen on
their lips and breasts.
Mr.. and Mrs. French and their fam
lily reached Bannack Sept. %, 1863, and
experienced plenty Of hardshipS and
tragedy in early years. They had start
ed for California, not Montana, but
the drivers of their train were paid IT,
regularly or not at all, and were re-
sentful and obstreperous because of
this. When they heard of the gold
strike at Bannack they abandoned the
idea of going to California, and at Lam
der's Cutoff turned toward Bannack.
The train had to go where the drivers
took it. and so 1t happened that the
the road agents were rounded up. The
father opened his cabinet shop that
fall, and it was he who made the cof-
fins for Plummer, Ray and Stinson, as
well as for George Copley, who was
shot by Mexican road agents. He had
the contract for making the collins
and digging their graves, and the orig
inal of this contract is hanging in the
Historical Library of the Capitol at
Helena.
The father, George D. French, learn
ed the cabinetmaker's trade in England
where he was born 1892. He must
have come to America when he was
quite young; for after working at his
trade in New York for some time, he
was yet only l6 years old when he went
to Palmyra, Wis. The same year, 1848,
he left for California by way of Cape
Horn, but interrupted his trip to re-
main two years in Central America,
reaching California in 1850. In 1852
he returned to New York City to marry

PIONEER WAS AN
EARLY SETTLER
SIMPLIFY LEARNED MINING IN
ENGLAND; CAME TO MONTANA
in SPRING OF 1880

Whitefield Shipley, ~, died while
asleep at his home at Lewistown re
Gently. He was found dead by his in
valid wife about 6 a. m. Shipley lived
at Lewist0wn but had been retired
from business since 1919 and is sur
vived by his widow.
Shipley was the coal mining expert
who opened many pioneer deposits of
coal and Ignite in Montana. His ex-
perience covered nearly 40 years Inc
he probably had more first hand infor-
nation and history of coal mining in
Montana than any other man.
Whiteield was born in England Oct
9, 1859, the 18th in a family Of IL
children, two of whom are living.
Shipley learned mining in the old
country and in 1877, at the age Of Is,
came to America, landing at New York
city and first going to the coal dis
trict at Brazil, Ind. He was employed
by the Northern Pacific railway as a
coal mine p%roSpector in the DakotaS.
In the spring of 1880 the company sent
him to Montana and he located a bed
Of coal seven miles west of Miles City
at the town of Ignite, Here he opened
the first coal mine for the company.
He also went over the proposed line
Of a railroad toward Washington and
made locations for a number of coal
mines. Later, returning, he located coal
at Timberline, to which a branch road
was constructed. He also opened the
mine where Red Lodge now stands.
Mr.. Shipley's experience also covers
other phases of mining. He was at
Maiden in pioneer times, working in
the Spotted Horse quartz mines and
Maginnis mines, and then went to Belt
and opened coal mines there. His last
practical work as a miner was in Fer
gus county, He established himself on
a tract of government land and did
coal mining and farming in combina-
ton until 1919, when he sold his ranch
and had since lived in Lewistown.
Mr.. Shipley was affiliated with the
Knights of Pythias and in politics a
a democrat.
Dec. 20, 1889, he married Mary Ann
Couch, a native of South Wales. She
is the second child of a family Of IL
children, of whom six are living.

Part of Great Northern's
Main Line Takes in Butte

TOHN A. FROGNER, superintendent
. of the Butte division of the Great
Northern railway since July, 1890,
on Oct. l became superintendent of
the combined Montana and Butte di-
visions, with headquarters in Great
Falls, according to dispatches from st.
Paul. Before coming to Great Falls,
where he succeeded Fred Wear, Mr..
Frogner was superintendent of the
Montana division, with headquarters in
Havre.
Effective the first of October, the po-
sitionS of general superintendent and
general master mechanic were abolished
on Great Northern lines east and west
of Williston. This action removes two
officials from Great Falls but does not
mean the transferring of many other
men from these official departments.
R. A. McCandless, general superinten-
dent of the central district. goes to
Grand Forks, N. D., as superintendent
of the enlarged Dakota division, and
Ed English, general master mechanic,
went to the klamath Falls division.
Beginning Oct. /, the Great Falls
locomotive shops will operate as part of
the roundhouse facilities instead of
independently as at present. There will
be no changes in the car shops.
With the placing of the main line
from Pacific Junction to Williston, N.
d., in the Butte division, with head
quarters in Great Falls. the superin-
tendent's office at Havre will be elm
mated and T. F. Dixon, division super
intendent, will be sent to Klamath
Falls, Ore. a. superintendent of the
new California extension. Some of Dix
on's staff will be transferred to Great
Falls under the jurisdiction of Mr..

changes in the clerks staff.

HERO OF CUSTER
FIGHT IS BURIED
REMAINS OF LIEUTENANT MOVED
FROM GRAVE TO NATIONAL
BURIAL GROUNDS

After a lapse of more than SIS
years the remains of Lieut.. John j.
C~rittenden Of troop L, Seventh Unit
ed States cavalry, who died with the
immortal Custer, June rs, 1876, and
who was buried where he fell, on the
eastern edge of Custer battlefield,
have been reburied in the National
cemetery adjoining the field.
The remains were exhumed under
supervision of Sergt. P. Bolscius, GUS
todian of the battlefield and the Ma
tional cemetery Saturday. On opening
the grave, no sign of box or clothing
was found, bearing out the theory that
Clusters men, after they fell, were
stripped of clothing by the Indians
The skeleton lay in proper form. The
left temporal bone was detached from
the skull, an indication that the story
that many of Clusters men were killed
by tommahawks or other blunt instru-
mentS may be true. None of the bones
showed evidence of being hit by a bull
let or arrow.
The Hardin American Legion held
services. The grave will be marked by
a brass cannon furnished by the war
department in preference to a marble
slab so souvenir hunters cannot chip
away the marker. 1t is understood that
other graves will be similarly marked
Removal of the remains was neces-
sary because his original buryieg place
was in the line of the concrete highway
now being laid out between the Custer
battlefield and that of Major Reno
some three or four miles east.

FALLS WAS NAMED
MONTANA
ACCOUNT OF SPANISH LOUISIANA
IN I785 REVEALS INTERESTING
GEOGRAPHY OF WEST

One hundred and forty-six years
ago the great falls of the Missouri
river was known as LA Montana"
a name which later became the name
for the state.
Recently an account of Spanish
Louisiana in 1885 was discovered and
translated, revealing much of inter-
est on conception of geography of the
far west and spanning a chronological
gap between early French and later
Spanish explorations of the northwest.
A passage of special interest to Mon
tanans follows:
THE Missouri is a large river which
flows from the northeast, one quarter
to the east, and empties into the Mis-
sissippi five leagues above st. Louis, the
chief Spanish settlement Of Ilinoa at
40 degrees north latitude, more or
less"
The first part of this statement is
in error, since the river follows a
northweSterly course.
1T is extremely swift and full of
falls everywhere. Navigation on it is
dangerous for this reason and because
the palisades which enclose these falls
make the current swifter, SO there is
hardly a passage for a canoe in the
rapids. Its channel changes every year
I'm all the time in which trading has
been going on along the Missouri nc
one had ever gone higher up the river
of the Sius. About 200 leagues beyond
their villages is a large cascade which
drops from a high mountain, which
they call La Montana (the mountain)
and which sings, doubtless because OF
the noise that the water makes"
The cascade referred to is the Great
falls of today, most famed geographic
mark in the annals of northwestern
history.
