AUTHORITIES SEEK
SLAYER OF
GEORGE WADE

Authorities Of Silver Bow and Madison
counties were seeking clues Of an undis-
closed nature in an endeayor to solve
the mystery surrounding the death OF
George Wade. sc, Butte waiter and
walking delegate of the Cooks and Wait
ers union. wade's body, bearing evil
dence that he had been murdered, was
recovered Sunday night from the Big
Hole river four miles south of Melrose
It was learned from Mrs Eileen Stone
and her brother, Eugene Molleur, both
of Merose, that Wade had been guest
in their home from June 6 to lS, and
that he had left there to return to Butte,
Sheriff AL Mcleod announced. Wade,
the sheriff said, had intended to hitch
ride to the Mining city on truck.
Wade's activities were being thoroughly
checked in an effort to find SOMEONE
who may have borne him a grudge and
TO find any motive for taking his life.
The Officers were seeking lethal weap-
on which may have caused the head in
iur1es which resulted in his death. The
mans scalp was badly lacerated and the
skull had been fractured.
A coroner's jury in Virginia City Tues
day morning found that Wade came tc
his death from blow or blows upon
the head which were not self-inflicted
Officials indicated that a further ex-
animation of the body will be made aftel
it is brought to the Mining city, in ar
effort to determine Just what kind OF 6
weapon was used to cause the fatal in
juries.
Wade, native of Telluride Colo, anC
a resident Of Butte for more than 81
years, was a well-known figure in thi
city. He had been employed as waite

Summer Enrolment at
State University
Exceeds Expectations

Summer session enrolment at Mon
tana State University is 54 per cent
above last years corresponding total with
a registration Of $50 students at the close
Of the opening day, Dean Walter A. An
derson, summer session director, has an
nounced.
The corresponding number last year
was 247 students. Registration of men
students is 100 per cent over that Of last
year it was indicated.
Registration Of late students continued
early in the week, to put the total well
over the 400 mark. The total exceeds the
early prediction OF 400 studnts and
probably will approach 500 before final
registration is completed, Dean Anderson
indicated
OF the first-day registration almost
three-quarters of the enrolment consist
of new students, with 258 new and l22
old. Women number 27O and men ITO
Last year, 1893 and 54, respectively were
registered on the first day Of summer
school
The increased enrolment may be
attributed to several factors, Dean An
derson said.
Veterans are continuing through the
summer with their education; the Sec
ondary school curriculum revision pro-
gram has attracted a number OF en-
rollees; the progress of the war has en-
couraged greater attendance, and large
number of regular and visiting faculty
members has created new interest il

ceedings started against Bridges in 1888
Bridge turned to the federal couit'
after Attorney General Francis Biddl'

Biddle held that Bridges, head of TN

party which taught overthrow OF the
S. government by force and violence.
The Supreme Court reviewed the en-

MAY CHANGE LITTLE
STEEL FORMULA
TO MEET WAGECUTS

CTIICAGO.-(FP)-The National War
Labor Board is considering revision Of
the Little Steel formula to make up for
the reduction in workers take-home pay
during the reconversion period, WLB
Chairman George w. Taylor said here.
The trend will be toward lower wages
during reconversion, Taylor predicted,
pointing out that WLB has authority 10
prevent general decreases in wages as
well as increases, either of which might
throw the economic stabilization ma
chinery out Of gear
At the same time that Ahe downward
pressure on wages begins, he said, there
will be an upward pressure on prices
He cited this as the reason why the
country needs an overall wage-prtce
policy, which will have TO be considered
industry by industry rather than on the
present area basis.

GOVERNMENT WINS
ANTITRUST SUIT
AGAINST THE A.P.

WASHINGTON-The Supreme court
Monday affirmed a lower court finding
that Associated Press membership by
laws violate the Sherman antitrust act.
Justice Black delivered the high courts
So opinion. Justice Jackson, a former
attorney general, took no part in the
case.
Justices Roberts and Murphy dissented.
Justices Frankfurter and Douglas
wrote brief opinions concurring with
the majority
The $500 word prevailing opinion de-
clared that the lower court correctly
found that Associated Press bylaws which
allow consideration of the competitive
effect of an application for membership
"on their face e.. constitute restraint of
trade"
The lower court restrained A. P. from
observing bylaws under which A. P.
members might consider the competitive
effect of an applicant for membership.
It said, however, that A. P might re-
strict membership on other grounds.
