SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DAILY MINER ## Column 2 # MEXICAN CHIEF HAS KINGLY POWER ## Alec Loiselle Returns From the Southwest and Says It Is Remarkable What Governor of Lower California Can Do. "One man at least of all North American chiefs is a king by rights and a king in power," yesterday announced Alec Loiselle, the well-known Butte auto driver who has returned to his home in this city after a 60-day trip to California with his parents. While in the southwest Mr. Loiselle spent some time in San Diego and at the Tia Juana race meeting just across the Mexican border in Lower California. Mr. Loiselle was interested in the former Butte crowds and horses so noticeable at the Tia Juana meet and his visits there brought him into close touch with the policies prevalent in the Mexican state. "The governor makes enough out of the race meet alone to keep the most-feared army in the southern republic," he said. "The soldiers fight for money, not honor, and for that reason their rallying to the governor enables him to defy all outside laws and rulers and makes him nothing short of a monarch. He has everything he wants and more, there is no one to usurp his rule and whatever he says is law." Mr. Loiselle was surprised to see the unusually large number of Montana, especially Butte, residents visiting in the southwest and while he enjoyed his trip immensely, seems delighted to be back in the mining metropolis again. ### DEATH AND FUNERAL NOTICE.

The remains will be moved this morning from the Daniels & Bilboa undertaking parlors to the family residence, 920 North Henry street, at which place the funeral will be held on Monday morning at an hour which will be announced later.

Plenty of Resources but No Means of Utilizing Them. That Brazil is a country of great natural resources but no place for an American to go unless he has plenty of money, is the statement of Dr. B. E. LaLonde, who is at the Butte from Rio de Janerio, Brazil. "The principal resources of Brazil are coffee and minerals," said Dr. LaLonde last night. "There are 26 varieties of coffee graded in the city of Rio Janerio and from the taste of some of them I have drunk since I came to the states it never saw Brazil or any other country except this. "The war has had a marked effect on Brazil. Nearly everything that is raised there has to be exported and the lack of shipping is keenly felt. "There are immense deposits of iron there and it is easily accessible, so far as the topography of the country is concerned, but there is so little available transportation that it cannot be placed on the market in competition with that from the United states. Duluth can supply a high grade of iron for much less than the freight alone on the ore would cost from Brazil to a foreign country. "Millions of tons of iron ore of a higher grade than that of the famous Mesaba region of Minnesota is accessible within 600 miles of Rio de Janerio, but the freight rates are so high that it would be useless to mine it. There is no coking coal there to smelt it with," Mr. LaLonde continued. "I wouldn't advise an American to go to Brazil looking wor work [sic] unless he understands the Portuguese or Spanish language, especially the former. He cannot compete with the native laborer and if he does not have a position assured him he is better off in the United States. "What they need there is scientific farming and those who own the land would rather exhaust the soil by frequent croppings and then go farther away and plant new crops or virgin soil than conserve the fertility of the land by rotation of crops. "Coffee is an exhausting crop and the land is rendered valueless after it has been utilized for coffee for any great length of time. "There will come a time when the coffee land is too far away to make it profitable to be worked and the product hauled to the meager railroad facilities they have there, but by that time it may be they will be educated to the better methods of farming, such as the agricultural schools of the United States are providing. "In the present condition of affairs I would not advise anyone to go to Brazil looking for work as there is little or none for him in that country. The United States is the best place for a man seeking a position." # SWIFT LOADING PLATFORM NUISANCE, COMPLAINT SAYS ## Property Owner on Arizona Street Alleges It Spoils Thoroughfare. That the loading platform at the Swift & Co. warehouse on Arizona street is a nuisance which prevents persons from using the east side of the street and spoils the appearance of one of the handsomest thoroughfares in the city is alleged in a complaint filed in the district court yesterday by Joseph Weinstein, who wants $1,000 damages from the packing company for loss of property valuation and a restraining order discontinuing the platform. Arizona street was recently paved and but for the platform would at the site of the warehouse be one of the handsomest streets in the city, Weinstein alleges. He claims that because the platform prevents pedestrians from using the east side of the street it is a nuisance and that it interferes with business and lowers the valuation of property on the east side of the street. # NEW GOLF EXPERT HERE TO HANDLE BUTTE CLUB Frank Noble, the English golf expert who arrived in this country three years ago and who was until recently at the Wanamaker winter school in New York, is in Butte and has taken charge of the Butte Golf club links. Mr. Noble was recently secured to teach local novices the art of playing on the green and it is expected that he will do much to increase interest in the sport in Montana. # LICENSE 13 MONTHS' OLD USED AT RECENT WEDDING A marriage license issued from the office of the clerk of the court Jan. 18, 1916, was returned yesterday after August Keto and Mary Lerkas had used it at a ceremony performed by Rev. Martin Hudtloff of the St. Marks Lutheran church, Feb. 21, a little more than 13 months after the license was issued. *[advertisement]* # LARRY DUGGAN Reliable Undertaker and Embalmer 322 North Main Street Phone 770 ## Column 4 *[advertisement, boxed]* # WASHINGTON MARKET AND GROCERY 18 West Park St. Phone 378-379.

All day today there will be scenes of wild excitement at the corner of Alaska and Granite streets, as the automobile men of Butte drive their cars to the show building, and place them in their respective spaces. Every dealer has his special bodies on hand, and the final result of the showing on Saturday will astonish even the most hardened automobile fan. Cars that have never been shown in the state before, as well as cars that are as well known as the Ford, will be unveiled to the admiring public, and the result is bound to cause wonderment and much praise. The Spanish garden effect of decorations is well in place already, and but a few finishing touches are needed to make the display so wonderful as to cause even the eastern automobile men, of whom there are many in town, to compare the show very favorably with the big national exhibiting. It is reported that the A. C. M. band has prepared several new numbers for the show, and lovers of good music will be attracted in great numbers on this account alone. Of course, the wonderful aggregation of automobiles will be interesting even to the musical fans, and prospective motor fiends are expected from those who attend simply on account of the musical attractions. The automobile parade tomorrow afternoon is bound to attract the attention of every one on the uptown streets of the city, and in the lineup will be seen many of the newest models in the country. The show will run continuously from noon till midnight, and because of this fact everyone will be enabled to attend the greatest automobile show ever attempted in the state of Montana. # CASE AGAINST TELEPHONE COMPANY IS COMMENCED Jurors in Judge J. B. McClernan's court began listening to evidence in the case of Nick Bodowich against the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph company yesterday. The suit is to recover $35,000 damages for injuries alleged to be permanent which are said to have been sustained by an 8-year-old boy when he fell into a hole dug for a telephone pole to be erected by the company. Joseph H. Griffin and Bernard Noon are attorneys for the plaintiff and Walker & Walker and Gunn, Rasch & Hall of Helena are representing the defendants. # LECTURE ON THE TIGRIS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY "A Thousand Miles Down the Tigris River" will be the subject of an illustrated lecture to be delivered by Edgar J. Banks at the First Presbyterian church Saturday and Sunday evenings at 8:00 o'clock. The lecture will be free, but an offering will be taken to defray the expense. Mr. Banks is a graduate of Harvard and Breslau and acting professor of ancient history in Robert college, Constantinople; field director of the Babylonian expedition of the University of Chicago to Bismaya, and instructor in the Turkish and Semitic languages in the University of Chicago. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DAILY MINER ## Column 5 # LOCAL DEBATERS COMPETE THIS EVENING ## Butte and Manhattan to Argue Municipal Ownership Question on High School Platform for District Title. Butte high school's debate team will engage in its second preliminary contest tonight when it meets a trio of orators from Manhattan. The debate will be held in the high school auditorium and the affirmative introduction will begin at 8:00. The Butte speakers are Marvin Blackburn, John Holland and Emmett O'Neill, and they already have one victory to their credit, a unanimous decision over Gallatin County High school. The question to be debated is "Resolved, That the cities of Montana of 5,000 population should own and control their public utilities, these utilities to be the street railways, water plants and electric lighting plants." Butte will uphold the negative of the subject. Each speaker has 10 minutes to be devoted to direct argument and five minutes rebuttal. The judges will be President J. E. Monroe of Dillon of the State Normal school, Attorney Sol Hepner of Helena and Prof. George Coffman of the English department of the State university at Missoula. If Butte is victorious in this contest, its speaker will be selected to compete for the state championship at the contest to be held in Missoula at the interscholastic track meet. Butte is now in possession of the state championship cup and if this is won this year and next it will become the permanent possession of Butte High school. The advance ticket sale indicates much interest in the debate, not only among high school students and faculty members, but also among business men who believe that the activity of debate should be encouraged. Prof. R. A. Coleman, debate coach, said last night that he had hopes of his team gaining a victory over the visitors, but expects the Manhattan team to put up a stiff argument as it is the best team that city has had in years. # DIVORCES ARE SOUGHT BY TWO MORE WIVES Divorce actions were started yesterday by Rose Kelley and Pearl Devlin. Mrs. Kelly is suing Peter Kelly upon the grounds of cruelty. They were married in Butte in 1904 and have three children. Besides a decree, Mrs. Kelly wants $50 a month alimony and $200 attorney's fees. Desertion is the charge upon which Pearl Devlin wants a decree from Roy J. Devlin. They were married in Butte in 1913. Besides a decree, she wants the use of her maiden name, Pearl Shimmir. # A. O'LEARY ACCUSED OF PROWLING AND THIEVERY ## Identified as Man Who Sold Mackinaw Taken From Room in the Curtis Block. A. O'Leary was arrested on a robbery charge on West Park street yesterday afternoon by Police Captain Mike O'Donnell and Detective Joe Williams. O'Leary is accused of having broken into the room occupied by Roy Higgs in the Curtis block last Friday night and of taking a mackinaw and a pair of pants from there. When taken to the city jail he was identified as the man who sold the mackinaw by a dealer in second-hand goods who purchased the garment. # TREASURE STATE NEEDS ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN "If the progress of the past 10 years is maintained, Montana will be the most progressive state in the Union," said John J. O'Meara, manager of the Centennial Brewing company of this city, who has just returned from an extended trip, which included the Pacific coast, the southern states and the Atlantic seaboard. "What the treasure state needs at present is more advertising. Even well informed persons in the east do not have the proper conception of what Montana is, and if some means were taken to see that they secured the proper information, it would mean much for the state." Mrs. O'Meara accompanied him on the trip. *[advertisement, boxed]* # Headaches Headaches Caused by defective eyesight greatly relieved by wearing glasses—fitted by the optometrists of the # McKINLEY-SAVAGE OPTICAL CO. 64 W.

Duncan, socialist, twice mayor of Butte, removed from office at the time of the miners' trouble in this city during the summer of 1914, the unsuccessful socialist candidate for Montana gubernatorial honors and for the United States senate, would again be mayor of Butte. Mr. Duncan yesterday morning filed his petition with City Clerk A. A. Dockstader, entering the primary election contests. As has been the custom of the socialists in this city for some years, all candidates filed together, no two entering the race for a single nomination. A. B. Clinch filed for the socialist nomination for city treasurer, and the socialists who filed for aldermanic nominations and the wards from which they have entered the contests are: J. M. Trapp, First; Charles Gildea, Second; C. L. Williams, Third; Ed Millward, Fourth; J. W. Brocker, Fifth; Arthur Cox, Seventh, and M. E. Donohue, Eighth. D. W. Felfridge in the Eighth ward, F. A. Kerman in the Second ward and John L. Oliver in the First ward, all republicans, filed for the contests for aldermanic nominations. # MRS. JOHANNA MURPHY IS VICTIM OF AN OPERATION Mrs. Johanna Murphy, wife of the late Dennis J. Murphy, died yesterday morning following an operation at a local hospital.

She is survived by two sons, Jerry and Dennis; three daughters, the Misses Josie, Margaret and Regina Murphy; her mother, Mrs. Pat Lynch; a brother, James Lynch; three sisters, Mrs. Pat O'Neill, Mrs. Pat Healy and Mrs. John Hawkins, and two grandchildren, Marie and Eleanor Murphy.

Candidates were induced to run for the offices of aldermen in all of the wards except the Fifth and Sixth and it is likely that aspirants for these offices will announce their candidacy today or tomorrow. Talks were made by Joseph H. Griffin, Joseph Corbly and Jake Oliver. The meeting was well attended. *[advertisement, boxed]* BUY YOUR # Automobile Paint AT # RIDDELL'S 131 W.
