All this was Larsen's conception, and The
March of Time on the screen was its logical
outgrowth. Moreover, it was Mr.. Larsen,
forcefu, humorous. radiating vitality and
determination, who refused to be DISCOURAGED
by the rebuff from the experts and set out to
do his lone-wolf stuff
He spent untold energy making an appeal
to the people at large. He asked his radio
customers if they would like to see The
March of Time on the screen. About million
people said they would, and told the managers

Another thriller took place recently at New

word through the League of Nations that
more heroin was being imported to Honduras
than that country could consume in hun

part oft was finding its way into the United
States. An arduous investigation revealed
that gang in New Orleans had been sceiving
the dope. The battle in which the &c" men
captured most of the narcotics gang was sen
satlonal and bloody. 1t was history. It was
good picture material and Mr.. Larsen went
after it.
He persuaded government officials to allow
the drama to be re-enacted on the original
scene with the original cast, excepting those

SHELBY'S BIG FIGHT GATE

The most mismanaged sports event
ever staged in the northwest or at any
place, a financial flop, holds the record
for the biggest sports gate ever held
in this section Of the country. As a
matter of fact, the states of Minnesota,
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Ne
vada, New Mexico, the Dakotas, Wy
oming, Vermont, Rhode Island and
many other commonwealth never es-
sayed to promote an athletic contest
that drew as much money as the
Dempsey-G Gibbons fight held in Shelby
The gate at the Shelby fiasco was
S201 900, which is heavy sugar, but the
expenses were better than twice that
much.
Bad Management to Blame
The Jeffries- johnson fight at Reno
did not draw as many dollars, though
it attracted a bigger crowd. A few weeks
ago at Seattle, the Risko-Steel middle
weight championship bout had a gate
of so, ZOO. Big football games at Seattle
and Minnesota have never hit the
5000, 900 figure. On the other, hand,
there have been many sports events,
notably football games, that outdrew

the scale OF prices were not tagged as

When the Mullan, Idaho, baseball
club played the A. c. M. team Of the
Butte Mines league. in a series of games
at the Mining city is years ago, Irish"
Monroe, of the visiting team, the spark
plug of his gang, was responsible for
the entire series of games being played
according to schedule.
On the morning of the second game,
Irish" was told that four of the play
ers threatened to stay out of the line
up. The four would-be deserters got
into an argument with another player,
and declared that if so-and-so played,
they wouldn't. Monroe's father-in-law,
the late Mike Murray, a former Butte
man, was manager of the Mullan team.
so Irish" was quick to fight for the
honor of the family.
Monroe told the belligerent quartet
what he thought of them. He gave
them a tongue lashing, but it didn't
dent the bozoes who wanted to mutiny.
Finally Irish" inveigled the disgrunt-
led four to agree to play in the series,

a time. The first two were put out
with a punch; the third player shouted

BOOED KETCHEL's QUICK WIN.

When Stanley Ketchel kayoed Roy
Hart in the first round at Miles City
in August, 1906, most of the fight
crowd yelled fake" The bout was the
star attraction of the livestock conven-
ton being held in Cowtown. Quite a
few fans who had tickets for the con-
test arrived on the scene after the
brawl was over, and they joined In
the anvil chorus.
But it wasn't a faxed performance.
It was Ketchels way Of doing things.
Hart, a tough hombre, was down on the
floor a minute after the gong rang.
The crowd was thoroughly disappointed,
as the boxing show was to consist OF
just one bout-there were no prelimin-
aries. It was disappointment more than
chagrin or reason that prompted the
crowd to howl their disapproval.
Austin Middleton, warden OF the
state %penitentiary, then a resident of
Miles City, was n of the pew holders
Of the Hart-Ketchel go. I asked Austin
if he thought the bout was a frame"
II should say not" said Middleton.
IT was sitting in the front ringsids row.
When Ketchel landed on Hart, you
could hear the smack of glove against
jaw. It was a blow that would put any,
one out. I helped Hart to get to his
hotel and that boy was sick for several
days. Ketchel could hit. Sure the crowd
was ~disgruntled because Hart was put
out too soon even to please the most
ardent Ketchel booster. It wasn't a
great fight, but it was a great punch.
I can almost feel the blow by Just re-
calling the incident"

BANK STOCKHOLDERS
CLAIMS PAYABLE BEFORE
OF ASSETS

In an opinion issued at the request
of Bank Superintendent Frank H.
johnson, Attorney General Raymond
T. Maggie held that the superintendent
of banks should not surrender the re-
manning assets of a bank being liqui-
dated by him to the bank directors or
trustees till the claims of bank stock
holders who have paid their assess
ments have been liquidated.
Respecting the rights Of minority
stockholders who have paid their as
sessments, the attorney general said:
ct Is quite apparent that there may
be GOOD reasons for this provision. If
only q minority Of the stockholders
have paid assessments, their rights may
be jeopardized by the majority in case
the assets are surrendered. The rights
Of stockholder creditors subject to the
Classification as to priority made by
the legislature, should be as sacred as
those Of other creditors"
