Committee Votes 5 Per Cent Pay Return
Doherty JOY
Marred By
Summons

It must have been a dark mo-
ment for Henry L. Doherty, orig
inator of the birthday celebration
in honor of President Roosevelt,
but the festivities at the Shore
ham Hotel last night presented an
opportunity which q deputy mar
shall had sought for seven months.
Making most Of the opportu-
nifty, the marshal served Doherty
with process in three civil suits
for q total of $4,000 damages.
The service was effected in the
Doherty suite at the hotel, just
before he descended Ito. the ball
room to introduce Pre- dent ftooSeE'
velt 10 aynation- wide radio audi
ence.
The suits were instituted last
July through Attorneys Alvin L.
Newmyer and David G. BreSs.
Thomas Donaldson asked $14,535
from Doherty for services rem
dered as manager of the local
Cities Service Company, securities
office. Charles F. Guerin and
Ada M. Buxton sought $4,000 and
$4,638, respectively, on claims that
stock they purchased from the
company was not as valuable as
represented. Although Doherty
maintains a suite at the hotel the
year around, the marshal was un-
able to serve him personally until
he appeared last night as national
chairman Of the birthday cele-
bration.

Expedite Credit

|, Soviet Russia has let this
tGoveEnment know Informally
that It wants to hurry up and
pay some money ons its debts
to this country.
This was learned today as
State Department experts rushed
ahead with the complicated task
Of working out details Of pay
mentS.
Soviet Russia's eagernesS to
start paying up its obligations to
start paying up its obligations was
conveyed to the state Department
by Alexander Troyanovsky, the
Soviet Ambassador.
Troyanovsky called at the State
Department and expressed the
hope the negotiations for q final
arrangement on the debt and dam
age claims could be speeded so
that the Soviets could start max
ing payments.
Outside of the little European
Republican Of Finland, Soviet Rus
sia is the only debtor nation
which has made q point Of ex-
pressing eagerneSS not to mention
impatience, to meet its obligations
to this country.
However, the SovietS want
something in return for the viii"
lingneSs to pay the debts, espe-
cially those debts of the czarist
regime and the Kerensky govern
ment.
They want credits. Extensive
credits to finance the expectation
of American goods to Russia.
They would like to see the es-
tabliShment of an American trad
ing corporation to handle the
credit situation and arrangements
for the mutual exchange Of goods.
Furthermore, they want the
credit arrangements to be an
nounced simultaneously with the
debt settlements, so it will ap.
pear to their people that they,
too, are getting something IN re-
turn for paying UP the debts they
once repudiated.

her mansion house for the rest of her

there was a proviso in the deal that
was that she had to promise she would
not drink and carouse any more, and I
could tell, that when Jane told me that,
she was in doubt about her ability to
do this, and sure enough, travelling
home a few days later I picked up a
Chicago paper, and there it was, or the
front page. Poor old Jane had got out
on a high lonesome" and had fought

1893. During the summer of 1894 I re-
ceived my last check as a cowpuncher
from o. c. Cato of the x. I. T.-peace
to his aches. I was looking for some
kind of a job. There seemed to be
plenty of gamblers, and ~bartenders
were ON the waiting list. I secured a
place in the livery stable of Loveridge
and Thurman, at Miles City. The
stable was located on the present site
of the Arnold store. The next year
this company purchased the Ole HI
Astle stable on Park street. I was
moved over with the rest OF the
horses" 1t was not long after we got
settled in our new location that we had
a new neighbor, who had just moved in.
It was Calamity Jane"
She had taken possession of an old
shack standing back of the old Grey
Mule saloon.
Jane was a great old girl and good
hearted to a fault. She told me she
was married to a young looking fell

have been much younger than Jane.
I mentioned to her one day:
Burke is sure some good looking fell

to me in the dark.
"Slim, wake up; I want you to take
me to Deadwood. Ed johnson put me
in jail because I "a a celebrity, and
Judge Milburn fined me one hundred
dollars. I haven't got any money. He
let me out to rustic it. I am going

I rolled the horse blankets off and
pulled on one boot. I said to Jane:
did Sam say for you to come to this
stable?"

BUTTE MAN DRINKS
POISON AT GRAVE
WILLIAM H. KITTO SAT UPON
TOMBSTONE OF WIFE'S GRAVE
AND DRANK ACID

Walking some three miles from the
county hospital to Mount Moriah
cemetery, near Butte, on his daily
visit to his wife's grave, William II.
KittO, 81, sat upon her tombstone re-
Gently and drank poison, Coroner Con
Murphy announced. Sheriff's Offic-
ers E. J. Budreck and John Bawden,
summoned by the cemetery ~caretaker,
returned the man to the hospital,
where he failed to rally to emergency
treatment and died a few hours later.
The coroner announced that no in
quest will be necessary. Burial will
probably be in the plot where Kitto
was found dying.
RecOunting a tale of loneliness
grown into despair, attendants at the
hospital said Kitto had been a patient
there since September, 1892, a short
time after his wife's death. He told
friends occasionally of his grief for
his wife, but the most part he ap-
peared normally cheerful and had
spoke of contemplating suicide.
Quiet and not fond of company, he
went on long daily walks and no one
suspected anything wrong when he
left the hospital and failed to return
at lunch time.
Kitto's action at the cemetery at
tracted the attention of the caretak-
er, who hurried to the man and found
him sitting on the grave, a bottle Of
poison beside him, still conscious and
gasping from acid burns in his throat
and mouth, authorities were told. Al
though help was secured at once, thu
quantity of poison taken vas too great
to be offset by first aid measures.
Born in Cornwall, England, Oct.
10, 1872, Kitto had lived in the I'm
tied States for the past AZ years,
spending most of the time as a miner
in Butte. At one time he was a laun-
dry driver. He formerly was a men,

We hooked up and dropped down to
the little log house. Jane came out
with her war bag and we carried out a

Jane grabbed me by the hand in
saying goodbye.
@" and you tell old Jackson, the
chief, Slim, he ought to be ashamed
Of himself. Do you know it took him
and two more men to put me in Jail.
Tell him for me some day I am coming
back here to Miles City and I will whip

Some years later, by appointment I
met quite q group of my relatives at the
