O'Farrell, pioneer writer and politician
had returned, at the age of 86, to the
city where he occupied the spotlight
as a Heinze lieutenant during the
copper war" Of nearly 40 years ago.
Previous to coming to Montana
OFarrell had taken somewhat ac-
tive interest in Ireland's struggle for
freedom and enjoyed the friendship Of
such outstanding champions of the
Irish cause at 7. p. O'Connor, with
whom he toured the country after the
end of the copper war" period. He
was the author of several books and
pamphlets that were used effectively
by the Heinze interests as political
propaganda.
Among them was a book which prob
ably supplied the title for Glascock's
book, THE War of the Copper Kings"
The title Of OFarrell's publication was,
Butte, It's Copper Mines and Copper
Kings"
O'Farrell was at one time the editor
of 1.-The Reyeille," Heinze weekly, and
later, 1t Is said, aSpired to the control
of the Butte Evening News, but was
compelled to yield to the superior in
fluence of the late j. NJ Kennedy and
r. r. Kilroy. Kennedy became manager
of the paper and Kilroy the editor.
The old pamphleteer and publicist
on being recognized In Butte, positively
declined TO be interviewed on any sub
ject-where he came from, where he
was going, how long he planned to stop
in Butte or where he was registered.
The only thing on which he made a
statement was his age. 1t is nearly 80
years since he left Butte.
During the copper war OFarren
made considerable copy for the papers
to Heinze not Intentionally but
because they regarded him as "vulner-
able" Some of the articles were anus

latter spoke in Anaconda. Hogan,
brilliant orator, retorted from the
platform. At the conclusion of the
Anaconda meeting O'Farren was on the
phone calling an Anaconda lieutenant.

that allowing for the age-88 years
the visitors recollection of copper

ARNOLD STARS IN NIT, TOAST
 OF NEW YORK
Frances Farmer Also Plays in Film Opening at
 Capitol Sunday

Bringing to the screen the TO- nance based upon the career of Jim Fisk, one of the most colorful and spectacular financiers and high rollers of the period immediately following the Civil War The Toast cf New York" presents Edward Ar ncld, Cary Grant. Frances Farmer, Jack Oakie and a huge cast in a ghttering panorama of American drama, opening tomorrow at the Capitol Theatre.
 Fisk, beginning as small-town peddler in the photoplay, quickly becomes one of the most powerful money barons of Wall Street. Amassing a fortune from the mani pulation of the stock of the Erie Railroad, he lavishes a kings ran som cn Josie Mansfield, an un- known beauty whom he sponsors and makes a Broadway star, only to lose her amid the wreck of his many ambitions. The picture has been produced upon an elaborate scale.
 Forbidden by the courts to con- duct the business of the Erie in New York, the resoWceful Fisk moves the headquarters of the com pany to Jersey City, and when it seems that Commodore Vanderbilt will gain control of the road, Fisk works the printing presses overtime to issue more securities. Colorful and flamboyant, his name is repeat edly on the front pages of the daily newspapers and his lavish spending is the eighth wonder of the period. His end is equally as sensational as his rise.
 Fresh from her laurels in Come and Get It." in which she also played opposite Arnold, Frances Farmer has the Josie Mansfield role. Cary Grant, zooming to new star honors, is cast as Jim Fisks pal Dandy Boyd, who finally wins Josie from him. Jack Oakie, as another crony of the meteoric financier, has a side-splitting comedy role. Rare humor, as well as spectacular dra- ma, pervades the action.

 Von Schiller or Pruss probably will be appointed commander of the LZ-130, while pr. Hugo Eek ener probably will devote himself to meteorological s tu dies during such trips as he may choose to make. His judgment as to routes, and how to get out of tough places will be accepted unquestioningly by the men he has trained these many years, whether he takes the active command himself or not.
 The men building the Lz-130 also are a seasoned lot. Some of them served under the late Count Ferdi- hand von Zeppelin That applies especially to the chief designer and constructor, m oldest Dr. Ludwig Duerr.
 All of them are all filled with the idea that their special mission in life is to show the world that airships have come to stay. and that every succeeding airship is better than the last.
