Rumors have persisted, however.
that a number of properties and
papers had been unloaded on the
Central Trust Company.
Mr.. Page Is quoted. as saying
today that heavy commitments in
real estate, which cannot be

A measure Of comfort has been

Mr.. Page:
"The board Of directors Of the

Gen. Crosby Waits
In Vain for Graft
Stories to ADDear
Report Tomorrow

Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby,
District Police Commissioner, said
today his invitation to have COM
plants Of graft and corruption in
the Police Department inveSti-
gated is yet to be accepted.
The Commissioner extended the
invitation several days ago after
the Department of Justice an.
nounced that several persons had
attempted to have graft and cor.
ruption complaints investigated,
but it had refused the requests.
The Department Of Justice took
the stand that it had undertaken
an investigation Of accusations Of
use Of the third degree" against
policemen and refused to extend
its investigation into other chan
nels.
General Crosby then invited the
complainantS to make their accu-
sations at his office and gave as
surance that their complaints
would be properly investigated.
Not one complaint has been re-
ceived.

POVERTY RIDES
BOTH OLD
PARTIES
Democrats Worse Than Broke,
Owing Chairman So Much;
But G. 0. P. Lacks Raskob
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

ny ~G~A&N6 I've A&~AANAGO
Unless there is q miraculous re-
turn Of prosperity, or other un-
looked-for developments in the
next 10 months. it is likely the
presidential campaign of 1882 will
be the most penuriously con-
Quoted since the turn Of the cen,
tury.
The reason IL simple: Both the
Republican and Democratic Or
ganiZatiOns are broke.
And even the most optimistic
raiser of campaign funds can see
but little chance of getting real
money" from contributors next
year.
Worse Than Broke
The Democrats are worse than
broke. Their financial statement.
filed with the clerk Of the House
today, showed the total party In
debtedneSs to be approximately
$761 900, of which nearly half Is
owed to John j. RaSkob, national
chairman, in the form Of per-
Sonal loans.
Mr.. RaskOb stands out Is the
greatest political "angel In the
history Of American politics.
The Republicans, while not so
deeply in debt as the Democrats,
have scraped the bottom of their
usually well.filled treasury, and
are now paying current operating
expenses by the aid of small drib-
bles of contributions.
G. o. p. Lacks RaSkOb
For months these have been
getting fewer and smaller, and
there is real anxiety in organiza-
ton circles over the situation.
The Republicans have no Raskob.
The Republicans recently have
been ecOnOmizing to the limit,
and it has been rumOred they are
to dispense with their publicity
department. Some Of its work
has been pretty sad, anyway.
Maybe the issues and person
a.....;es of the 80 campaign even.
tually will persuade wealthy par
tisans to take the rubber band
off the bank-roll. But Unless they
do, it looks like a tough year.

Report Tomorrow
With these actions it was, made
virtually certain that the jury
will be ready with some kind Of .
presentment for the court TO-
morrow.
Although the Grand Jury to-
morrow will have completed its in
vestigation Of five cases of alleged
police brutality, it will not be
ready at that time to report on
whether or not there is third
degree system" in use in the police
department, 1t was indicated TO-
day as the jury resumed its de-
&berations.
The inquiry which was started
yesterday Is biIateral. Along one
line the jury is probing five Spe-
cific cases looking for particular
criminal acts, such as assault.
The other line delves into the
existence Of a third degree system.
Indictments Expected
The attitude of high police Of
ficialS toward the third degree
: as eviC' need by their actions in
investigating the brutality charges
made by James Henry Harker is
being thoroughly studied. 1t was
this attitude which forced the
. Commissioners to. ask President
Hoover to order a Department OF
Justice investigation.
:. Observers believe that there
will be indictments returned to-
morrow in one or more Of the
five cases. These indictments
would dispose of the criminal
acts in these particular cases.
: However, in regard to the
system" it is believed that the
jury will not wish to make a
report until later, waiting for
the Department Of Justice to
furnish it with evidence in the
dozen additional cases upon
which its agents are working.
Consequently those who have
looked for a whOle.hearted blow
ut the third degree system Inn
-mediately seem doomed to dis
appointment.
Guard witnesses Identity
=, No direct evidence touching on
the methods of inquiry used by
the Police Department after the
third degree scandal broke" is
being presented to the Grand
Jury. it was learned authorita-
lively. Any evidence which the
jury is receiving along this line
Is simply incidental to the direct
evidence on the assault charges.
Nevertheless those in a position
to know state that the jury will
be fully cognizant of the police
investigation before the last case
Is submitted.
The jury started its second
day OF study Of the cases today
with the names Of witnesses and
Of accused policemen still being
zealouSly guarded. Department
of Justice agents and deputy
United States marshals took
charge of witnesses Immediately
they arrived at the court house.
Again today the witnesses were
secluded in. q court room down
the corridor from the Grand Jury
room and held incommunicado
lending their appearance before
the jury.

During the past several months
$4,000 peoples have been made in the
veterans hospital at Fort Harrison by
the disabled men. Five hundred of
this number have been received in
Plentywood by the local committee to
be sold here on May 23rd.
The interest and cooperation of the
students in the 9th and 7th grades
Of the local public school has been
enlisted. This is being accomplished
by a poster contest sponsored by the
American Legion Auxiliary in these
two grades. The posters are already
nearing completion and will be judg-
ed on Friday, May Sth. The first prize
offered is S1.00. the second SOC and
all posters will be used for display
purposes in the local business houses
to remind the public that they too are
privileged to pay tribute to the men
who fell and to those who are still
fighting the battle to regain health
and strength.

The senior trip of Montana School
Of Mines students is an annual event,
each class choosing where it desires
to travel. The 1880 seniors toured
the industrial east, visiting gigantic
metal-refining plants and other in
dustrial enterprises of the great cit
les, and meeting President Hoover at
the White House. The junior class,
too, each year makes an inspection
trip of the state of Montana, its
great mines, mills, smelters, and re-

Mothers Day

Mothers day not far away, when all
that touches true,
Comes flooding back along the track
of memories to you,
A little ache will quickly take you
back to other days,
A little path that once you hath to
make INT backward gaze.
We never knew the lonely blue until
she rose away,
We feel the pain, it's all too plain. the
voice Of Mothers Day.
A little sigh, a little cry, down deep
in human hearts.
Keeps creeping up to fill our cup, the
sadness kinda hurts.
We miss her face, her fond embrace,
we just can't help our tear
Because we know, no other blow, is
just so hard to bear.
To us she lives, to US still gives, to
challenge big and strong.
Oh. Spirit, tell, we wish her we'll,
she sings immortals' song.
No Drawer soul, no higher goal, than
Mother aimed to win,
Her only try as days went by, was to
be afraid of sin,
She did her work without a shirk, her
children were her crown,
She lived a life all full of strife, her
faith was rich and sound.
But now she's gone, her spirit flown.
God give her all that's good,
She earned her crown and now she's
won,
Mothers ~heavenhood.
And so the hour that holds the pow
er Mothers memory
Still steals across our bitter loss, tc
realms Of ecstasy.
We raise u eyes to pierce the skies
and dare a glimpse between
To e the souls on Heavens scrolls
who joy behind the screen.
Oh, Mother dear, we have no fear
your joy is most complete;
You suffered here. oh Mother dear
your rest must now be sweet.
Sing on, oh, world, to yet unfurl, The
race moves on toward thee.
The doors will close upon orr woes
we'll find eternity,
Upon the land, where millions stand
we'll see the happiest smile
OF those who thought a mothers lot
was worth a woman's while.
When heaven chimes, it's riches'
rhymes, the music soft will be,
A lullaby to tell the why of Mother:
victory.

Of Mines
Seniors on Tour

BUTTE, May 4.-To investigate
the great plants of the mineral in
dustry in the Rocky Mountains r,
gion, the senior class of the Montana
School of Mines left Sunday morning.
May 3 on the first leg of a great
circle tour of Utah, Colorado, South
Dakota and Montana.
The twelve members of the senior
class were accompanied by A. E.
Adami, vice-president and professor
of mining engineering, and A. M.
Gaudin, research professor of ore
dressing.
The party will be on the trip 20
days, returning to Butte on May %,
about two weeks before the common
cement exercises that will graduate
them from the Montana School of
Mines and launch them on their pro-
fession careers.
In Utah the Montana School of
Mines men will visit at Midvale the
U. S. Smelling, Refining and Mining
company's smelter; at Salt Lake City
the University of Utah, Utah State
Capitol and the tabernacle; at Park
City the Silver King mine and mill;
at Tooele the International Smelling
%company's plants; at Bingham the
Highland Boy mine and the huge
open-pit operations of the Utah Cop
per company; at Arthur the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining company's
plant, and at Garfield the plants Of
the Utah Copper company and the
Hercules Powder company.
At Rifle, Colorado, they will visit
the U. S. Vanadium mine and mill
and in Leadville the Climax Molyb-
denum mine and mill. The huge Col
orado Fuel and Iron Company steel
plant at Pueblo will receive careful
inspection. At and in the vicinity of
Denver, Colorado Springs and Golden.
the Montana men will be escorted
through the Golden Cycle mill, Col
orado School of Mines, University of
Denver, U. S. Mint. Colorado State
Capitol, Pohndorff mineral collection
and the rock-drill plant of the Gard
ner-Denver Company.
From Colorado the Butte seniors
travel to Lead, South Dakota, where
they visit the homestake gold mine
and mill, after which they look over
the surface geology of Mt. Rushmore
and visit the South Dakota school of
Mines. In Colstrip, Montana, they will
see the gigantic power shovels Of the
Northwest Improvement company
handle the great beds of coal there.
From Colstrip, they return to Butte.
Seniors making the trip are: John
f. Blixa, Kensington, Mimi, Allen H.
Engelhardt, Van Mugs, Calf; Clar-
ence M. Harrer, Port Washington,

ceeded to cut expenses by requesting
City Clerk Debing to voluntarily re-
duce his salary from $40 to IS per
month, which he refused to do as he
maintained he was working for a very
small wage at this time. As a result
c. W. Robinson was appointed city
clerk, and he took his office at once.
The next move was to lay off
Chief of Police 0. j. Collins. This was
another economy measure, and for the
time being Robt. Rookie, Water Sup
erintendent and Street Commissioner
will also fill the position of policeman
with his working hours from noon to
midnight. This move was really in the
nature Of an experiment to ascertain
it we can get along without police or
night Waterman.
A. c. Erickson was reappointed as
City attorney at a salary of $40 per
month. L. f. Helm was reappointed as
fire marshal | and Jake Reiger as
poundmaster.
The mayor %thereupon appointed the
new councilmen to fill positions as
follows: Joe Redmond as head of the
committee on Street lighting, Streets
and Alleys; C. w. Peterson, License
and Privileges, Audit and Finance,
H. W. Barner, Public Safety, Fire
Hall and Fire Apparatus, and Frank
| Guenther for the Water and Sewer
Departments.
Although this will reduce expenses
considerably by these economy steps,
we doubt greatly that the matter of
laying Of our night Waterman will
be an economy act. Already people of
Plentywood who have rested secure
each night in the knowledge that the
city was being guarded against both
fire and theft, are commencing to ex-
press their fear that this is an ul-
wise step, and say that inasmuch as
they pay city taxes they are entitled
to police protection.
On the other hand, some of these
self same persons who now find fault
with the action of the city council
had previously been loudest in their
denunciaton of our city government
for the high cost of administration.
One thing is certain to occur if ou1
night Waterman is not restored to duty
soon, and that is that our fire and
other property insurance rates will
