The first party of noted eastern
biologists to recommence research
work in the Red Lodge area this
summer are expected to arrive in
Red Lodge about the middle of Ju-
ne, according to William Taylor
Thorn, Jr, associate professor OF
geology at Princeton University
who met in Red Lodge Thursday
evening with a large group of civic
leaders and others who are keenly
interested in further explorations
in the Beartooth mountains by
scientific workers DR. Thorn will
head the party and believes a
number of econmic and scientific
discoveries will be made in the
Red Lodge vicinity.
Local business men and mer-
chants offered their cooperation TO
future work. In discussing the
1881 program DR.. Thorn stated
that at least two years will be re-
quired to complete a geographical
and Typographical survey of the
Red Lodge field and areas in close
proximity, and the same length
of time for continuation of aerial
mappings of the mountain country.
The research parties entered this
area for the first time last sum-
mer.
DR.. Thorn explained that per-
manent camp sites and headquar-
tiers for the various expedition par
ties and their families will be es-
tablished near Red Lodge; near
the mouth of Willow Creek canyon
and at Piney Dell
One of the major detectives of
the 1881 research campaign, ex-
planned DR.. Thorn, will be the pre-
paration of guide book to be

Montana's legislative assembly is
working yul1tiringly on sheafs of
new proposals and changes in var
ious state measures. Carbon coun-
tvs representation of three repub-
licans in the house of representa-
tives and one Democrat in the SEN
ate have been named to various
important committees.
During the past week Alex Fair
grieve of Washoe, Carbon county,
brought up the matter of empower
ing county commissioners to fill
legislative vacancies caused by
death. The bill was introduced
after the recent deaths of S. w.
Teagarden of Fergus and G. NJ
Simpson of Custer. The present
method of calling special elections
for the purpose of filling sue
cessors to demised members has
been opposed on the ground it is
impractical, according to support
ers of the proposed measure.
Representative Fairgrieve also
informed the lower branch he has
a measure that would increase
slightly the allowance to injured
and crippled men and women who
are being rehabilitated by the
state. His bill would increase the
allowance for persons in cases
where the trainee in industrial re.
Mobilization has two or more de-
pendents. 1t allows an increase
from the present $50 a month to
s75, it being contended that $50 is
insufficient to maintain family.
The PROPOSAL would permit the
state to assist persons in complet-
ing a cillege education, where the
trainee had previously taken two
years work and showed an apti-
tude for study that justifies the
aid. =
MIR. Fairgrieve has also pro-
posed an enactment Of tax or
tobacco, snuff and cigarettes. TO.

Extra Session Unlikely
The support of the aged presi-

caused the German Peoples
Party, heretofore the most out
spoken critics of the Breuning
policies, to sOft-pedal their de-
mands for an extra session Of the
Reichstag to consider Breuning's
financial decree.
simultaneously it was learned
that Foreign Minister Curtius has
summoned the German ambassa-
dors from Washington, Paris and
Rome for a conference in Berlin
some time during the latter part
of this month. It was believed
that this conference would coin
eide with the visit of American
Secretary of State, Col. Henry L.
Stimson in Berlin.
Chancellor Bruening was said
to be determined to resign should

IS per cent reduction in the
arms budgets of all nations.
Upon the basis of such a per
centage, the United States would
suffer a cut of around $187, ,500,'
900 a year, or 100000 more
than would be required of Great
Britain, whose navy now tops
that of the United States, and
whose army personnel outnum-
berS that of the United States
almost three to one.
According to an American Army
source whose information was
made available to The Washing
ton Times, there is no possibility
of the United States obtaining
anything like parity with other
big powers in armament curtail-
ments based upon a budgetary
proposal, owing to the vast diff
ference in the cost Of supplies,
equipment, and pay Of officers
and enlisted men in the American
Army and Navy, as compared with
similar costs falling upon such
powers as Great Britain, France,
italy and Japan.
Vast Difference In Costs
Thirty extra heavy tanks, The
Washington Times is informed
would cost the United States ST.,
100000, while for that amount
Germany or Great Britain could
buy 40, France 81, and Italy or
Japan So.
A thousand 75mm. field guns
would cost the United States SILL
100000, while for the same money
Germany or Great Britain could
purchase 1924, France 2,z4O, and
italy or Japan 1856. For 300, 900
rifles, the United States or Great
Britain would pay $1O,5O0, 900,
while France could obtain 42O, 900,
and Italy or Japan 37S,5OO.
The lowest pay in the United
States Navy is $21 a month, while
in the Army it is $24 a month,
and added to this, of course, are
clothing, board, lodging, medical
attention, and certain allowances.
A French sailor, if bachelor and
on shore, gets mere $3.50 a
month. and when at sea his wage
is 1912 a month. A Japanese
army private's pay is $2'25 a
month.
Inequalities Pointed Out
In other words, on budgetary
plan of parity with the United
States, France could have o naval
force nearly seven times that Of

Discovery of Fellow Scientist
During Eclipse Of Sun at
Sumatra CompeIs Action

BERLIN, June 13 QN.SD.
Prof. Albert EinStein, whose
theory of relativity startled and
puzzled the world, admitted to-
day that new discoveries have
made a revision of the theory a
necessity.
The famous German physicist
will confer with Prof. Erwin
Freundlich, head of the Einstein
observatory at Potsdam, before
announcing the result OF his
further calculations, he said.
Made Study Necessary
It was Prof. Freundlich who
made further study necessary.
While heading a scientific expe-
dition in Sumatra, he made
studies the results of which
were at variance with Einstein's
formula.
Whereas Einstein's calculations
were based on the deviation oil

onds, Freundlich took pictures
during a total eclipse of the sun
which were said to prove the de-
Walton actually is %.

ence heard the results of Prof.
Freundlich'S observations, after
which Einstein admitted that his
theory was based only on the in
fluence of gravitatiOn.
He said, however, that theory
combining the gravitational and
electromagnetic fields had yet to
be evolved.
Freundlich said he was enabled
to make his researches with the
aid of a modern and remarkably
accurate camera.

Verifying the Scope of AL Capone's

In amounts beyond the .magina-
ton, a Federal indictment charg-
ing Capone and SO henchmen with
conspiracy to violate the prohibi-

end of the reign Of Americas big
gest gangster.
Five thousand offenses are
charged in the indictment over a
period of 10 years and, if the case
is proved, the Government officers
said dissolution of the Capone
gang was inevitable.
The prosecutors estimated that
his huge breweries had daily
output of $4,000 worth of beer,
which would total $2.741, $50 900,
three-fourths of which was prob
ably clear profit.
Muscle Men," Et Al
The 5000 offenSes charged in
the indictment each represent a
unit, the manufacture of 1900
gallons of beer, or delivery unit
of 80 barrels, trucklOad. This
would indicate that the Capone
syndicate had manufactured
$500, 900 gallons of beer and de-
livered 10000 barrels of it since
1921.
Each of the defendants faces
two years imprisonment II tound

has escaped attention.
