Tuesday Morning × × × × THE BUTTE MINER × × × × March 16, 1915 3 ## Column 1 # LEGISLATOR IS OUSTED AT DENVER ## Colorado House Unanimously Expels Representative W. W. Howland for Perjury. Denver, Colo., March 15.—The Colorado house of representatives expelled Representative W. W. Howland of Denver on charges of perjury late today. Howland who was arrested Saturday night on information filed by District Attorney John A. Bush, charging perjury, still was in jail in default of $2,000 bail at the time his membership in the general assembly was terminated. ### Solon Accepted Money. The house adopted unanimously the report of the special committee which investigated charges that Howland received a package of money sent to him in the house chamber Feb. 9 and acted upon a resolution of expulsion presented by Speaker Stewart, who headed the committee. The session was then continued for further investigation, at its request. ### Grand Jury Investigates. The county grand jury continued its inquiry to determine whether indictments should be returned in connection with the Howland affair. At the first session of the special committee, Howland testified the package contained $15 in currency, the proceeds of a business transaction in which he was interested with George C. Waterman. Howland's story was confirmed by Waterman. At a subsequent hearing Howland testified the money came from Mary Bates and was to pay a woman detective for work in shadowing John S. Phillips, probation officer of the juvenile court. # IRISH VOLUNTEERS TO PARADE IN THEIR CIVILIAN ATTIRE (Continued From Page One.) years the Hibernians have marched through the streets of the city of Butte on St. Patrick's day without causing the slightest infraction of the law or offending the sensibilities of any normal citizen. Your instructions prohibiting the carrying of firearms in this parade comes as a surprise, from the fact that we carried arms last year and on numerous other occasions without known opposition from any quarter. Therefore, your action at this time seems to me to be influenced by a few underground bigots. Regardless of that I have made known your instructions to the officers of the organization who contemplated carrying firearms. In conclusion I will state that the Hibernians always desire to preserve the peace and good order of the community. Should any trouble arise (and I don't see any reason for such)' I assure you it will not originate from any individual or society in our parade. "Your very respectfully, "JAMES J. MURPHY. "Co. Pres. A. O. H." An advertisement was inserted in the Miner by the commissioned officers of the Irish Volunteers and appears in today's Miner, requesting the company to assemble in civilian clothes. The notice reads as follows: ### "Notice to Volunteers! "All members of Company A, I. V., are requested to assemble at Hibernia hall on Wednesday, March 17, at 8:30 o'clock in the morning. Members will appear in citizen's clothes. (Signed) "Commissioned Officers." ### The Mayor's Action. Mayor Smith yesterday instructed Chief of Police Jerry J. Murphy regarding firearms on St. Patrick's day. He also addressed the following letter to James J. Murphy, chairman of the committee on St. Patrick's day celebration: "I am informed that in preparation for a St. Patrick's day demonstration next Wednesday arrangements are being made for a military parade in uniform and bearing arms; also that German and Austrian societies have been invited to take part in the parade, the idea being to make a Teutonic demonstration against the English and [column continues in Column 2] # Thin Men and Women ### Here's a Safe, Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 Pounds of Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh. Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say, "I can't understand why I do not get fat. I eat plenty of good, nourishing food." The reason is just this: You cannot get fat, no matter how much you eat, unless your digestive organs assimilate the fat-making elements of your food instead of passing them out through the body as waste. What is needed is a means of gently urging the assimilative functions of the stomach and intestines to absorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the blood, where they may reach the starved, shrunken, run-down tissues and build them up. The thin person's body is like a dry sponge—eager and hungry for the fatty materials of which it is being deprived by the failure of the alimentary canal to take them from the food The best way to overcome this sinful waste of flesh-building elements and to stop the leakage of fats is to use Sargol, the recently discovered regenerative force that is recommended so highly by physicians here and abroad. Take a little Sargol tablet with every meal and notice how quickly your cheeks fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited over your body, covering each bony angle and projecting point. C. B. Hoskins & Co. and other good druggists have Sargol, or can get it from their wholesaler, and will refund your money if you are not satisfied with the gain in weight it produces as stated on the guarantee in each package. It is inexpensive, easy to take and highly efficient. **Caution:—While Sargol has produced remarkable results in overcoming nervous dyspepsia and general stomach troubles, it should not be taken unless you are willing to gain ten pounds or more, for it is a wonderful flesh-builder.—Adv.** ## Column 2 [Hennessy's advertisement, spans columns 2-7; the left-hand pieces are given here, the main block follows at the head of Column 3] *Hennessy's* C.

While the purpose back of this proposed demonstration may be innocently patriotic, its effect might be to arouse enmities and inflame passions that Butte would be better and pleasanter without. "President Wilson has wisely urged the American people to refrain from public demonstrations concerning the European situation that might be construed as a violation of either the spirit or letter of American neutrality. It is to be hoped that Butte will not be the first American city to foment national prejudices that might lead to consequences more serious than can now be contemplated. "So far as a public parade, the carrying of flags and wearing of uniforms is concerned, I am not disposed, even if I possessed the right to prohibit. In this connection I can only appeal to the good sense and good citizenship of those participating to refrain from disorderly or offensive conduct. "As insurance for the peace and good order of the community, the carrying of firearms, either concealed or exposed, in connection with this or any other public demonstration on the streets of Butte will be prohibited, unless such arms are in the hands of the regularly constituted authorities. I will instruct the chief of police to see that this order is complied with. "Trusting that your committee and the societies interested will accept this order in the spirit it is intended—that is, to preserve the peace and good order of the community—I am "Yours very truly, "C. A. SMITH, Mayor." ### Germans to Take Part. Announcement was made yesterday that all German and Austrian societies in Butte and the German-Austrian Relief society would participate in every event of the Hibernians' St. Patrick's day program, both at the hall and at St. Mary's church.

The legislature will have finally adjourned before the time the governor may keep the bill has expired. ## Column 4 # *Rights of Press Invaded, Declares New York Editor Before Probing Senators* [spans columns 4-5] Washington, March 15.—A vigorous protest against what he termed an invasion of the liberty of the press was voiced today by Charles R. Miller, editor-in-chief of the New York Times, before the senate ship purchase bill lobby inquiry committee. Summoned as a witness, Mr. Miller had been questioned in detail by Senator T. J. Walsh, chairman of the committee, concerning editorials and news articles appearing in the Times relating to the ship purchase bill, trust prosecutions, the European war and compensation to railroads for carrying mail. He declared with emphasis that the news columns of his paper were never influenced by its editorial policies and that no outside influence could make themselves felt in the paper. "I feel," he said, "that inquisitorial proceedings of this kind would have a very marked tendency, if continued and adopted as a policy, to reduce the press of the United States to the level of the press in some of the central European capitals, the press that has been known as the reptile press, that crawls on its belly every day to the foreign office and to the government officials and ministers to know what it may say or shall say, to receive its orders. For that reason I cannot help feeling that a proceeding of this kind and such questions and minute inquiries and, I will not say insinuations, but intimations as you have in the accomplishment of your function felt it to be necessary, constitute an invasion of the liberty of the press." Senator Walsh replied that the committee felt at liberty to prosecute [column continues in Column 5] ## Column 5 its inquiries when addressed to the head of a great and powerful newspaper in exactly the same way it would against the humblest individual. Mr. Miller closed with a comment that the newspapers appeared before a grand inquisition every day. We feel," he said, "that if we were improperly influenced by any body outside of the office, there is none so quick to discover that as the readers of the paper. Your committee would be left far behind in that race and we should suffer the greatest punishment that possibly could be inflicted upon us, namely, the loss of all standing." ### NOTICE. The remains of Wallace Chapman, aged 23 years, who died last evening, are at Sherman & Reed's parlors. Funeral notice later.

Balding and four of her children were attacked Sunday night as they lay asleep. Two of the children were killed, the mother died late today and two other children are so seriously injured that physicians say they cannot recover. Each of the victims was beaten on the right side of the head with a flat iron. An infant clasped in Mrs. Balding's arms was the only one in the house to escape injury. When the police entered the home after the crimes had been discovered today by a neighbor who peered through the windows, they found in the front room the lifeless body of Celeste, 9 years old, lying on the floor. On a couch in the same room were the unconscious forms of Clifford, 13, and Irene, 3, each suffering from a fractured skull. # DEMOCRATIC WOMEN PLAN BIG RALLY Woman's Democratic club tonight will hold a rally at Bennett's hall on Harrison avenue, to which an invitation to all women, candidates and others interested in furthering democratic success at the polls are invited.

Two bloodstained flat irons, the murderer's weapons, were found near by. The police have detained a man in connection with the case, but no formal charge has been filed against him. They say a narrest [sic] will be made soon. Police believe an insane person committed the crimes. The Baldings were poor and authorities say robbery was not the motive. William C. Balding, husband and father of the victims, was in Centralia, Ill., the night of the tragedy. get off at Argyle street, Bennett's hall being in the 1600 block on Harrison avenue.
