# Larceny
THEY CALL IT PETTY LARCENY
For a thief to steal your purse;
But some will steal your character—
Few crimes are ever worse.
A gang now in Seattle
May be doomed to see the pen
For using blackmail photographs
To hold up wealthy men.
No wealth has any value
If you are ostracized,
For blackmail leaves some doubters
To make one feel despised.
Aside from things that come and go
We'll save you THIRD and more
On each spring SUIT, COAT, DRESS and HAT

# SAFETY FIRST IS TO BE SUBJECT OF SERMONS
## Throughout Montana Ministers Will Talk to Their Congregations of This Important Movement.
The "Safety First" movement is to be recognized by the churches and throughout Montana tomorrow will be celebrated in the different churches as "Safety First" Sunday, following a request sent out from Great Falls by officials of the Boston & Montana Reduction works.
In Butte all evangelical churches affiliated with the revival services will hold joint services at the tabernacle, and Evangelist Bulgin will include a reference to "Safety First" in his address, while on the following Sunday the Butte ministers will severally include the subject in talks to their congregations.
In addressing an audience in Great Falls recently, J. L. Price, who is prominent in the movement in that city, said, in addressing an audience:
### Mr. Price's Address.
"For the past few years you have heard a great deal about 'Safety First.' Except to those who have been actively associated with the work this expression until very recently has had a hollow sound. It was a slogan, and as such it became very soon abused. It became a slang expression. It almost conveyed nothing. Yet, gentlemen, 'Safety First' means nothing less than the conservation of human life and limb. It means less widows and less orphans. It means less cripples and less human wastage. It means a lesser burden upon charity and incidentally upon society.
### Important Statistics.
"There were killed on the railroads during the years of 1910, 1911 and 1912 23,782 people. There were 26,532 deaths due to falls, 15,702 were drowned and 79,296 were killed in other accidents, or, in other words, 145,312 human lives were lost. If these figures are not appalling and these terrific numbers don't cry out with a clarion voice demanding a remedy, then, of course, there is nothing more to be said.
"Yet the above figures represent only the fatal accidents, but what about the hundreds of thousands of men and women who have been permanently disabled and have to lead a sort of life in death existence? What about those who are partially disabled?
"From the available statistics of the federal government it can be seen that 75 per cent of all the accidents can be prevented. I leave it to you gentlemen to figure out what it would mean to the various communities if such a thing were accomplished.
"The average number of fatal accidents per 100,000 population for the country in general is 87.
"Montana has the highest mortality rate of any state in the Union—129 fatalties [sic] per 100,000 population. It brings to us very forcibly the fact that it is time to wake up and do something."
# CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS TO MEET IN WOMAN'S CLUB
Starting with Sunday, April 30, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, will hold its regular services in the Woman's club building, corner of Park street and Clark avenue. The congregation has outgrown its old quarters and so arrangements were made to use the lower hall in the Woman's club.

# MEASLES SPOIL GOOD CITY RECORD
## Were It Not for Unusual Epidemic, Contagious Diseases Would Have Been Few.
According to the annual report of the city health department, had it not been for the unusual epidemic of measles which has been raging in this city for the past two months, Butte would have got through the 12 months with a remarkable record as regards contagious diseases. Owing to the energetic work of the department the dread scarlet fever was kept to a minimum and but 11 cases were reported during the year. Typhoid fever has also been confined to five cases since May 1, 1915, while other contagious diseases have been greatly cut down in numbers.
The figures are as follows:
Cases quarantined ........ 1,213
Houses fumigated ........ 345
Rooms fumigated ........ 1,675
Persons disinfected ........ 291
Visits to quarantined places ........ 358

# BOND OWNERS ASK LEAVE TO INTERVENE
## Investors in Butte-Duluth Loan Want Right to Purchase Property in Entirety.
Permission to intervene was asked yesterday in behalf of the holders and owners of Butte-Duluth Mining company bonds, in the suit of the Provident Security company against the Butte-Duluth company, which is now in the hands of Receiver Charles M.
Everett. A motion making this request was filed in district court by Attorneys Kremer, Sanders and Kremer, representing I. A. Heilbronner and others.
Attached to the motion is a complaint in intervention setting forth interests adverse to both plaintiff and defendant in the suit brought by the Securities company. The complaint also asks the right of the bond holders be declared a prior lien and superior to the claim of W. M. McBride, who recently obtained a court's order directing the sale of the personal property of the Butte-Duluth Mining company to satisfy a claim of $518.10 for wages
The right of the intervenor is based, according to the complaint, on a mortgage executed to the State Savings bank, June 2, 1913. According to the terms of this mortgage, a deed in trust to the entire property of the defendant company, also property subsequently acquired, and all revenue, mining claims, profit and property, whether real, personal or mixed, is conveyed to the State Savings bank as a guarantee of the bond issue of $500,000.
### Other Argument.
The intervenor argues that the bond holder's claim is superior to all others, not excepting the claim for wages, confessed by Receiver Everett, in the sum of $42,000.
In this regard the complaint requests:
"That none of the alleged, creditors of said mining company be adjudged to be entitled to have any lien upon any of said property described in said mortgage or deed of trust or after acquired property, superior to the lien of the owners or holders of the bonds aforesaid, but that all of the alleged claims and asserted liens of all the creditors of said mining company be adjudged and decreed to be inferior and subordinate to the rights and liens of the holders and owners of the bonds aforesaid."
In brief, the complaint asks for judgment in full for the amount of the bond issue with the amount of unpaid coupons and interest; for the right of the bondholders acting through a committee to purchase the property in its entirety, applying the face value of the bonds on the purchase price; that no parcel or part of the property be sold to satisfy any other claims and that the lien of the bondholders be declared superior to all other liens. In conclusion, the complainant declares that should the bondholders purchase the property they would assume the indebtedness and pay the legal costs of the sale.
# HONOLULU POPULAR NOW WITH MANY MONTANANS
## Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Shaw Return From Sunny Island in the Pacific.
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Shaw have returned from Honolulu, where they have been sojourneying since last November. Mr. Shaw, who was for several years in charge of the Leonard hotel here, states that he saw a number of Montanans on the island. Among these were Mr. and Mrs. James Lynch, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Barrett, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Tuohy, Dan Morony and Jack Wade of Lewistown.
"Honolulu is getting to be one of the most popular resorts for tourists," said Mr. Shaw. "The climate is balmy, but is so warm that it gets to be enervating and one feels dopey after a few weeks there."
He says that there are many quaint and interesting sights on the island and that the favorite recreation of both natives and visitors is surf bathing.

# TEAMS AGAIN TO DEMONSTRATE FIRST AID
## Representatives of the Different Mines of the Anaconda Company Will Meet at Auditorium.
The series of first-aid contests in the local league will be resumed this evening in the Auditorium. Last night was the regular time, but as the Auditorium was being [u]sed for other purposes the contests were postponed until this evening.
In all 12 team[s] are competing and these will take [p]art tonight: Badger vs. Bell, Tramway vs. Pennsylvania, Anaconda vs. Mountain View. Those will take part in the first contests and these teams will compete in the second set of contests: Badger vs. Tramway, Pennsylvania vs. Mountain View and Anaconda vs. [B]ell.
### Boardman Has Returned.
J. L. Boardman has returned to Butte. Mr. Boardman was formerly with the United States bureau of mines traveling car and was stationed in Butte for some time, when he gave instructions to local teams. He will be located here now.
"I am very glad to be back in Butte again," he said. "I took a great interest in the local teams on my former visit, all the boys seemed so anxious and so willing to learn. In fact, there are mighty few places in the country where the first-aid work has been brought to such a high pitch of perfection as in Butte, through the encouragement of the A. C. M. company. I am very glad, indeed, to find
on my arrival that a league has been started between 12 mines. It will do a wonderful amount of good, not alone for the memb[ers] of the various tea[m]s, but for every man that works in and around the mines, as well as the community in general. The work of safety-first and first-aid is one which is attracting the attention of the entire country and it has already accomplished much good, while considerable remains yet to be done. Through the medium of education, however, considerable progress has been made."
**HIS AGE IS AGAINST HIM.**
"I am 52 years old and I have been troubled with kidneys and bladder for a good many years," writes Arthur Jones, Allen, Kans. "My age is against me to ever get cured, but Foley Kidney Pills do me more good than anything I ever tried." Rheumatism, aching back, shooting pains, stiff joints, irregular action, all have been relieved. Newbro Drug Co.—Adv.
