TWILIGHT

Twilight baseball in Butte is as old
as the hills. But, is it? Really, evening
baseball here dates to July, 1908. Russ
Hall, manager of the Butte team of
the Northwestern league was the first
sponsor Of twilight ball in this section.
Competing against both horse and
dog racing meets, the league ball games
were not doing very well. Vancouver,
holding a franchise in the same league,
solved its attendance problem by play
ing games in the evening. Hall figured
that the Vancouver plan would be of
financial benefit. But for some reason
or other, the attendance didn't in
crease so the starting time Of games
reverted back to 2:30 in the afternoon.
Twilight baseball in Montana really
started to pay dividends in the Mines
league days. Butte and Anaconda
crowds favored the dinner hour. Great
Falls, MiSsoula and other cities found
that the. success of Butte could be
duplicated. Nowadays, twilight is the
famed time of Montanans for their
baseball fare.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1936-11-20

Racing punished baseball attendance
in 1908. A 60-day horse meet with six
races a day and a long stretch Of grey
hound coursing with 20 races a day
caused the Butte league team to lose
its Financial shirt. The purses for the
horse meet in 1908 amounted to $140,-
600 for the 60-day stretch.

ACTION TOBLOCK
Sc. C.PR0BEL0ST
District Court Refuses to
Forbid Investment Trust
Investigation.

BY the Associated css.
Justice Oscar Luhring of the Dis
trict Court refused today to issue s.
temporary order forbidding the Secur-
tiles and Exchange Commission to in
vestigate investment trusts.
The courts action came after the
commission had recessed public hear
ings in its investment inquiry pending
outcome of legal efforts to block them
The order refused by the District
Court was asked by Frederick T.
Fisher, a stockholder in the Equity
Corp, an investment trust.
He sought to prevent the commits
sion from subpoenaing him as a wit
ness in the investigation and from
examining the papers of the corpora
ton.
Hearing Set August s.
Justice Luhring set a hearing for
August S, at which attorneys for
Fisher will ask temporary injunc-
ton to hold up the investigation.
David Schenker, attorney for the
Securities Commission, attacked Fish
er's request for restraining order as
a subterfuge and o trick to delay
the hearing"
He said the investigation would
proceed on schedule this morning.
Schenksr told the court that Fisher
owned "only two shares of stock,
which are now worth s4"
Fisher is bringing this action be-
cause he is afraid to testify" he added.
Commission officials said no papers
of the equity corporation would be
used in the investigation prior to the
hearing August 5.
Commissioner Robert Healy mean
while had recessed the commissions
hearing until Schenker should return
from court.
Under a mandate from Congress to
develop broad outline of the policies
and activities of investment trusts and
investment companies, the Commits
sion had asked its first witnesses to
appear today.
The commission planned to examine
such subjects as investment policies,
nature and scope of activities, contents
of portfolios, corporate structures and
whether control and influence" has
been exercised over companies in which

atty in Hamm Kidnap-
ing Case.
By the Associated Press.

ST. PAUL, July 27-Alvin Karpis
and Charles Fitzgerald, participants
in the 100000 William Hamm, jr,
kidnapping, today were sentenced to
life terms by Federal Judge NJ NJ
Joyce Both had pleaded guilty earlier.
Before sentence was imposed, Kar-
pis, asked by the court whether he had
anything to say, declared:
Jack Feifer is absolutely not guilty
because know the circumstances. He
had nothing to do with the kid
naping."
Declared "Fingerman."
Piefer, a st. Paul night club oper-
ator, charged as "fingerman" in the
case, was convicted of a part in the
abduction plot by Federal court
jury Saturday.
Before imposing sentence, Judge
Joyce labeled kidnapping as "one of the
most henious crimes known to law"
kidnapping is one crime the Amer
ican people will not tolerate" said
Judge Joyce. Its unpopularity as a
vocation is largely due to the crystali-
zation of sentiment of the Congress of
the United States by the presence of
the statutes as well as the unrelent-
ing diligence of those charged with
running down kidnapers"
Judge Addresses Karpis.
Judge Joyce then addressed Karpis
first and said
1T is the judgment of the court
that you, Alvin Karpavicz, or Karpis,
be confined in the Federal Peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth or at such penal
institution as the Attorney General
may designate, for the remaining
period of your natural life" He pro-
nounced similar sentence on Fitz-
gerald.
Fitzgerald also asserted Peifer never
was present at Twin City kidnapping
gang hideouts, as Byron Bolton, con-
fessed kidnap plotter, had testified.
Still awaiting sentence, along with
Bolton, is Edmund C. Bartholmey,
former Bensenville, ILL.,, postmaster,
whose home, Hamm, st. Paul Brew
ing Co. head, identified as the place
where he was imprisoned four days.
The abduction occurred June IS, 1898.

Representative Blanton said. The
controlling issue last Saturday was
not CARROTS or my respective fitness,
but was resentment about post
master appointments which are no
part Of my legislative duties, plus
paid aeitators spreading falsehoods
about me.
The real issue now is whether
the voters Of the district are going

gruntled and unsuccessful postmaster

to replace me-
If you want me, I want to serve
you; but if you do not, I will be

MADRID is QUIET.
Grave Threats to Capital Unknown,
as Censorship Is Enforced.

MADRID, July AZ R.-With loyal
guards ana militiamen strengthening
their mountain positions in the
Guadarrama Range northwest of the
capital and striking out for complete
rebel surrender at scattered other
fronts, Madrids people went light
heartedly about their daily routine
completely unaware of the proximity
of rebel armies.
They took their evening promenade
slipped long drinks on sunny cafe
terraces.
Terrified week ago when the re-
bellion first famed across Spain from
Spanish Morocco, they believed them
selves secure today.
They knew nothing of the grave
threat to their capital from both
Northwest and South by Fascist forces
armies which a week of fierce fight
ing had rendered all the more grimly
determined to obtain their objective.
Newspapers have been ordered to
conceal the truth.
Government broadcasts gave no ink
ling Of how close the rebels actually
have approached.
Return to Normal.
Hence, life in the capital virtually
has returned to normal in the last few
days.
The water supply has neither been
contaminated nor cut off, since
Madrid's reservoirs are on the south
side Of the Guadarrama Mountains,
and the rebels have not yet been
able to cross this sternly-defended
barrier.
Streets of Madrid are still being
washed five times a day. No attempt
has been made to stint the supply.

Diplomat Says % at Vigo Must Leave
Immediately.

lmme0lateIy.
Bj the Associated Press.
An increasingly alarming situation
in Vigo. Spain, prompted American
Consul William w. Corcoran today to
advise the State Department he was
evacuating % Americans and Cubans
on British cruiser.
At the same time the American
cruiser Quincy was steaming toward
Alicante. on the southeast coast of
Spain, to rescue more than a hun
dred Americans and other foreigners
reported taken there by train from
Madrid.
Asserting that apprehension in Vigo
was increasing hourly "as the mill
tary and Right elements are appar-
emily becoming less hopeful and in
creasingly nervous" Corcoran said
that If the military authorities should
fail, mob rule and anarchy would
follow.
He added the military had called
out all conscript classes from 1926 to
the present.
WIVES nenaln IN Area.
Corcoran, whose home is in Massa-
chusetts, said his wife and the wife
of Vice Consul Warren c. Stewart.
whose home is at Baltimore. would
remain in Vigo for the present and
that the consulate would continue to
function.
The cruiser proceeded Immediately to
Alicante after touching briefly at
Malaga.
While the Navy Department was
advised OF this rescue effort, the State
Department received a message which
strengthened hope for the safety of a
group Of New England college girls
touring Spain.
Consul John D. johnson at Madrid
advised the department he had in
direct information that the American
students at La Granja are safe. These
were believed to include the group
headed by Mrs. Monica Owen of
Cambridge, Mass.
Mrs. Owen and the college girls
had not been heard from since a
few days before the revolution be-
gan. On Saturday the husband of
Mrs. Owen-Robert D. Owen of Bos-
ton-was so concerned over the stu
alton he said he was sailing for
France to try to find her.
Highways Open Again.
Although the State Department had
no details of this, Eric c. Wendelin.
third secretary of the embassy, re-
ported that the highways and rail-
road from Madrid to Valencia, near
Alicante, were open again. It was
assumed that any official dispatch
telling of actual evacuation from the
embassy to the seacoast had been de-
layed.
Fleeing before sanguinary fighting
in and near San Sebastian, members
of the Summer embassy staff took
refuge on the United States Coast
Guard cutter Cayuga, which bore them
and their diplomatic records to the
isolated villa occupied by the Ambas-
sador in nearby Fuenterrabia.
Ambassador Claude G. Bowers re-
ported to the State Department that
impossible conditions" prevailing in
San Sebastion made it necessary to
move the chancery to Fuenterrabia.
