WPA Adult Education
To Commence Soon

Last spring the Federal Adult Edu-
cational organization sought capable
young men and women to send to Sc
atle to study the principles OF Adult
Education. Mr.. +. c. Gilbert OF Butte
was one Of the men sent from this dis
trict. Mr.. Gilbert is enthusiastic con-
corning its value and possibilities for
culture and utility to the working peo-
pie and others. Delegate Duncan, Of
the Electricians union, read a letter be-
fore the delegates, from Mr.. Gilbert,
under the Works Progress Administra-
ton. It is proposed to set up courses
in adult education in the Foreign Labor
movement, the American Labor move
ment, economies, labor history and
kindred subjects. It is also proposed
to bring outside speakers to address the
classes. The County Superintendent OF
Schools, Maybelle Hogan, and the
State Superintendent Of Public In
struction, Miss Ireland, will be re-
quested by the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council to lend their efforts in
hurrying this project along and also in
using their influence in making it as
extensive and valuable as possible.

A Word to the House
Wife About Butter

The present low price Of butter
makes it available to everyone for the
table, cooking and baking. To impress
this fact on those who buy butter at
any time the Dairy Division OF the
State Department OF Agriculture is now
issuing parchment inserts for butter
cartons labelled, "a Word to the
Housewives About Butter"
Conditions over the country point to
a still further over-production due to
the productiveness of the season.
Through the summer the price has
been falling steadily due to this over
production until now it has reached a
level where everyone can take adj
vantage of it to a much greater extent
than has been possible the past year.
These inserts are being sent to the
creameries over the state as quickly as
possible so that they may be included
in their daily manufacture OF butter
and so get into the home and to the
housewife, with whom rests the buying
for the family.

up. However, the boys are hard at
work trying to build up a contender
that will make a creditable showing in

from last years good Junior High team
and many stars from the Butte High
Reds and the Butte High Blues Of the

teams hard at work each afternoon.
Players are being developed for this
years squad and also for the future.

serves last year who are again in the
harness are: Thompson, center; Voll-
mer, guard Shaffer, tackle; Clark, end
Tomich, quarterback; Corcoran, half
back; Edwards, guard; Mitchell, half
back.

It looks as though the squad will be
fairly heavy but very inexperienced At
present they seem to have plenty Of
pep and enthusiasm which if carried
on throughout the season will develop a
club that will be hard to beat, espe-
cially as the year goes on.
Many weaknesses and shortcomings
have shown up in early season scrim-
images and practice games and the boys
are working hard to overcome them. At
present the kicking and punting ends Of
the game seem a bit weak and an eff
fort is being made to remedy this stu
alton. However, kickers are born and
not made.
The policy at Butte High School is
to get as many boys as possible into
action in the game OF football. The OBJ
ject being always to build up for the fu-
ture as we'll as to have a strong current
team. Underclassmen are encouraged
to get out and compete and get the
necessary training and experience.
Other than first string men get a
great deal of experience at Butte High.
There is a strictly Junior High School
Team that plays a complete schedule.
Then there are two other reserve
teams entered in the Employed Boys
League which play games each Satur-
day morning during the season. Such
a set up gets a large number Of boys
into the game. As many as seven and
eight teams often get into action on
some week ends.
For the 1885 season Butte High
School is playing in the Southern Di-
vision in the State Race. Butte's
strongest competition will come from
such schools as Billings, Anaconda,
Miles City, and probably Bozeman, in
that district. Last year Butte played
in the Northern Division but the Board
of Control this spring changed it back
to the Southern.

S1.29 SILVER
DRIVE OPENS
International News Service

International News Service
A drive to stabilize silver at
$1.29 an ounce and establish a
definite white metal policy was
launched today by the Senate sill
yer bloc.
Headed by Senator McCarran
CD of Nevada a committee of
five will call on Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau within the
next few days for a general dis
cussion" of silver.
Will Probe Rumors
In addition to sterilization, Mr..
said, the meeting was
called to investigate rumors that
the silver purchase act of 1884 is
unconstitutional, that the Treas.
ury is not carrying out its silver
policy and that Great Britain is
conducting a campaign against
the United States silver policy in
foreign countries.
Mr.. McCarran charged there
was a recent "unwarranted" drop
of six points on the market,
adding:
"This drop indicates to me
that Secretary MOrgenthau ap-
parently is not buying, but
rather is probably selling. other
wise there should be no cause
for such a decline in the silver
Drice."

PEIPING, June II G.N.S0.-A
group of so American women,
members of a touring party Of the
Garden Club of America, today
were given a pathetic insight into
the feelings of Chinese women
over Japan's newest invasion of

American women wept
The visitors, just arrived in
Peiping from a brilliant reception
in Japan, were welcomed by the
Chinese Women's Club
The Sister-in-law of C. T. Wang,
noted Chinese diplomat, said:
1--WE are sorry in our hearts
that we are not preparing our
gardens, as you see.
Rather, we shOuld be in our
bedrooms, weeping with humilia-
ton and shame at what is hap
pening."
Other Chinese women speakers
rose to make scheduled addresses,
but were unable to control their
emotions and broke down Sobbing.
Nearly every one of the American
visitors was wet-eyed 1T the tragic

Lost Business and Competition
Force Drivers to Tear
StiCkerS From Cabs

Disillusioned by decreased pat
ronage and loss of venue
through competition of low rate
cabs, taxi drivers in several of the
larger local cab associations today
tore from their windshields the 35-
50-7O-9O-cent stickers, which they
had pasted jubilantly to their
windshields yesterday, and re-
turned to the basic 20-30-50-70
rate.
Sole adherents to the advanced
rate we're a handful of independ
ent drivers and some 1.400 men
who operate under the Diamond
Cab Association. From a survey
Of individual drivers of the Dia-
n1ond organization, it was evident
that there was a great deal of dis
satisfaction among the rank and
file Of drivers and that a large
number of them are but waiting
FOR. an oppolV unity to return to the
30-5O-70-cent level.
Davis Not Satisfied
Harry Davis, president of the
Diamond organization, was aware
of this attitude and today indi.
Gated that he was by no means
satisfied with the results of the
action he and the directors of the
Diamond Company instigated. He
said:
ut must be realized that a
serious situation threatened at
that maSSmeeting Of strikers
yesterday afternoon. We realized
that something had to be done
and done quickly to avert
further disorder and to set the
taxi transportation system in
motion again.
every man that attended
that meeting yesterday &C.
claimed the offer to increase
rates. Our offer was snatched
up and the taxi business re.
Sumed.
"ThiS new rate was an emer-

lose business because Of it.
We haven't decided whether to

RANSOM CASH

SALT LAKE
Hoover DiscIoses His Belief
Weyerhaeuser Abduction
Was TWo-Man Job
International News Service

international News Service
The most sensational kid
naping since the abduction Of
the Lindbergh baby has been
solved completely within 10
days after nine-year-old
George Weyerhaeuser, for
whose ransom nearly 100000
was paid, was released at
dawn on a lonely road in the
State of Washington.
J. Edgar Hoover, chief Of the
Bureau of Investigation of the
Department of Justice, made this
known today.
The cOmmander-in-chief Of the
army of Federal agents that
spread a wide net for the alb
ductOrs Of the little heir to lum-
her millions, disclosed that not
only has 10000 more of the ram
SOM money been recovered, but
that he is now convinced that
only two men took part in the
sensational snatch.
They were Harmon Valley, ar
rested with his wife, Margaret, in
Salt Lake City last Saturday, and
William Mahan, paroled convict,
lodging the pack of eager pur-
Suers on his trail somewhere in
the hill country of Montana.
The Omen have done it again.
Buried in Ground
The ransom money was found
at immigration Pass, an isolated
little settlement 80 miles from
Salt Lake City. 1t was buried two
feet underground and covered by
q black oil cloth.
With the $15,155 seized in the
automobile Mahan abandoned
when he fled from police in Butte,
Mont, last Sunday, at least
$1O5,855 of the ransom money is
now in the hands of Federal Off
Gals.
They have not disclosed how
many of the Weyerhaeuser ran
som bills were seized when the
Valleys were arrested and con-
fessed in Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Hoover laughingly waved
aside all questions as to how G.
men made the find. On reliable
authority, however, it is reported
that the Valleys, in their complete
confession which now is locked in
Hoover's safe, disclosed the cache.
But he was explicit on the num-
Der of persons who directly parti-
cipated in the spectacular Ia
coma snatch. He said:
81 believe this was a twO-man
Job. There is every indication
to show there was not another
person directly involved.

certain, was only an indirect &C

State Rests Case; Banker
Identifies Typewriter

Taking the stand in his own
defense today, John Martin Be-
land, accused with Mrs. Anne
Lyddane of plotting the murder
of her husband, fIatly denied
ever having an intention to
carry out such a plot.
He denied ever having seen
Mrs. Lyddane before her appear
anCe several weeks ago in Mont
gOmery county courthouse when
she was given a preliminary
hearing.
rockville, Md, June 1.-THE
State of Maryland rested its case
shortly before noon in the prose-
cution of John Martin Boland, in.
dicted with Mrs. Anne. Lyddane
on charges of conspiring to muir.
der her husband. Francis "Slom"
Lyddane.
Assistant Prosecutor John Oxley
announced:
''The State rests"
The last witness called by the
prosecution was Frank Abbo,
former proprietor of the Lincoln
way Hotel in Rockville, who testi.
fled he had seen Boland in his
hosiery on various occasions.
Abbo also said that Mrs. Lyd-
dane was there almost every day
and conversed with John "Googy"
CARMEL, bartender, who has
pleaded guilty to the conspiracy
charge.
Bank Head Testifies
The State contends that much
of the alleged conspiracy was for
mulated in this Rockville hotel.
Employees of the Farmers Bank
ing and Trust Company in Rock.
vile, where Mrs. Lyddane was en-
ployed, were called to the witness
stand this morning.
Richard F. Green, president of
the bank, testified that the lock
on the bank had been changed
after he had been warned, dur
ing development of the Lyddane
case, that the bank might be
robbed.
Identifies Typewriter
He identified the typewriter
which the State commended was
Mrs. Lyddane's.
The State has commended that
the machine in question was used
by Mrs. Lyddane in writing a note
to CARMEL demanding that "his
friend" go through with "the
deal" The State has attempted
to show that "the deal" was a plot
to kill Mrs. Lyddane's husband.
A confession which Boland is
said to have given following his
arrest, stating that he plotted
with Mrs. Lyddane, was introduced
in evidence today.
Verdict Delayed
The court overruled the con.
tention of Boland's counsel, Fred
A. Maltby that it had been Sc
cured under stress.
AS the prosecution closed it was
indicated no verdict would be rem
dered by the court until after the
trial of Mrs. Lyddane.
Attorneys agree that a verdict
of guilty would weaken Mrs. Lyd-
danes defense while mot guilty"
would seriously injure the prose
cution.
