New York, (By Mail).—Nothing in the political history of the empire state has profoundly stirred men and women in every walk of life as has the sensational ouster of five socialist assemblymen from greater New York. Some of the facts which have not been given prominence in the kept press are the following: 1. That Speaker Thaddeus Sweet of the assembly, who is chiefly responsible for this temporary suspension of representative government, is an aspirant for the governorship. Having studied the election returns in Massachusetts, where Gov. Calvin Coolidge triumphed at the polls on a strong-man, "law-and-order" platform, he evidently believes that by going the Massachusetts politician one better, he will easily win the nomination and election. 2. That Speaker Sweet is also a multi-millionaire pulp and paper manufacturer attacked by the socialists in his own district with particular vehemence. Their scathing exposes still rankle, it appears, in his mind. 3. That Simon L. Adler, republican floor leader, who acted as first lieutenant to Sweet in this coup d'etate, is a member of the wealthy clothing firm in Rochester, N. Y. Two of the suspended assemblymen were particularly active in helping the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America in their struggle to secure better wages and living conditions for the workers in Adler's establishment—with the result that Adler and his brother had to yield. 4. That the five assemblymen had already sworn to uphold the constitution, had not been challenged when being sworn in, and had, in fact, already taken their seats as members, when suddenly they were called to the speaker's rostrum and suspended. Party lines have been forgotten in the seething anger against the incident. Republican Hughes takes up the cudgels for the men. Democratic organ, The New York World, raises a non-socialist fund for them, and William D. Guthries, law partner of Elihu Root, leads the fight of the New York Bar association for justice in this case. # AMERICANIZATION AND CHILD WELFARE TOPICS Mrs. Joanna Grigg read an excellent paper on "Child Welfare" at the meeting of the Butte Woman's Christian Temperance union Friday afternoon in the Y. M. C. A. Mrs. A. S. Christie, also well known in club work, delivered a message on "Americanization." The president, Mrs. A. L. Bradshaw, presided and spoke on "Americanization" and "Child Welfare." Brief but interesting talks also were given by Mrs. W. E. Currah, superintendent of the medal contest department; Mrs. Henrietta Walton and Mrs. Edith G. Clinch. The meeting was opened with a devotional service after which there was a business session. ### GETS SOME CATCH. Bozeman, Jan. 24.—According to reports here, a fisherman on the East Gallatin near Belgrade recently fished up what is believed to be the tooth of some prehistoric monster. Photographs of the supposed tooth have been sent to the Smithsonian institute for identification. ### ARREST JAP EDITOR. Los Angeles, Jan. 24.—Yojiro Nakadate, former editor and publisher of a Japanese magazine in the east, was arrested yesterday by department of justice officers on charges of having been implicated with the communists. # IRISHMEN, ATTENTION! Meeting of the Pearse-Connolly club at 318 N. Wyoming, Sunday, Jan. 25, 1920, at 3 p. m. Business of importance. All members requested to attend.—Adv. ## Column 2 # T. SURLE PLEADS NOT GUILTY IN COURT ## Man Charged With Attempting to Secure Automobile With Bogus Check Arraigned Before Lynch. Tom Surle, the one-legged Austrian, who is charged with trying to bilk the Butte Vehicle Sales company out of a $2,200 automobiel [sic] on January 6, by means of a check upon an alleged fictitious bank account, pleaded not guilty this morning in Judge Lynch's court. His bond was placed at $3,500. It is said that Surle lost his leg as the result of an accident years ago when he was working as a laborer at the East Helena smelter. It is charged that Surle was sentenced in Nevada for from one to 14 years in the penitentiary for passing worthless checks, but that he was released after serving only a few months, and then returned to Montana. In the brief time which elapsed after his arrival here before he was arrested, it is charged that he bought three fine automobiles from as many Butte firms, with no more tangible collateral than a leaf from his trusty check book. The officers state that Surle lays the blame for his present predicament upon his own carelessness in not leaving town with his automobiles before the checks came back from the bank. # BOZEMAN KILLER GETS SECOND DEGREE VERDICT Bozeman, Jan. 24.—Francis Huffine died yesterday afternoon from wounds received when he was shot by Elmer Nunnelly during an altercation over the possession of a sled which is said to have belonged to Huffine, but was loaned to Nunnelly by a third party. In a dying statement Huffine said that he and Nunnelly had fought for a while and then agreed to quit. He said that after that agreement Nunnelly shot him. It was expected an information charging murder would be filed against Nunnelly today. # ONLY 115 EXTRA MEN ARE "KEEPING STREETS CLEAN" The force of laborers which for several weeks past has been cleaning the snow and ice from streets and gutters under the direction of the street commissioner, Jacob Oliver, was yesterday reduced by 30 members, leaving now only 115 men in the department of Jacob. He stated that this force will soon be still further reduced, if Butte remains reasonably blessed with fair weather. ### FRED WARREN BURIED Funeral services for the late Fred R. Warren were held yesterday afternoon in Walsh's chapel under the auspices of the Butte lodge of Elks. The Rev. E. J. Groneveld officiated. Interment was in Mount Moriah cemetery. # DO IT NOW Any man who expects to invest in a new suit or a light overcoat this spring will save money by buying now. The "Bull" element amongst the manufacturers of tailoring material are in control and the near future is bound to see prices boosted to the limit and then some. Mr. S. J. Spier, the energetic manager of the Montana Tailoring company, 425 North Main street, caters to the miners' trade and to others who desire union-made clothing cut to measure at reasonable prices. On account of the location and the fact that Mr. Spier himself is an expert cutter and tailor, his operating and overhead expense is considerably lower than those of merchants doing business in the down town district. For this reason he will guarantee the highest quality material, a perfect fit and complete satisfaction at a price which without sacrificing the quality of his work is remarkably low.—Adv. ## Column 3 # ALLEGED EVADER OF DRAFT IS DENIED ## Ole Nelson Refused Naturalization Forever, and Fellow Countryman Has Case Continued. A letter from the war department stating that Ole Nelson had evaded service in the draft on the grounds that he was alien owing allegiance to Norway, although at the time he had taken out his first citizenship papers here, caused the denial of Nelson's petition for naturalization yesterday, by District Judge Jeremiah J. Lynch. Nelson's application was denied with prejudice, which will prevent him from ever becoming a citizen of the United States. The petition of Mangus Martinson, also of Norway, was continued until the next hearing to permit of investigation of his status. It was claimed by Naturalization Officer Thomas that Martinson had also claimed draft exemption on the grounds of being an alien and also because of marriage. Eight of 23 applicants were passed yesterday, four were dismissed without prejudice and the remainder were continued. Soldiers to the number of 16 were to present their discharge papers today, when, according to the rules established by congress, they were to be admitted without formal examination. # BUTTE BRIEFS Jack Barnicoat, a popular newsboy and son of J.

(Special United Press Wire.) Washington, Jan. 23.—Leaders in both houses of congress are becoming more insistent in their demands for economy and ruthless slicing of appropriations. Senator Smoot, a member of the appropriations committee, said yesterday afternoon that economy was absolutely necessary if the government was going to make both ends meet. He suggested that a special committee of technical experts be put solely at the command of congress and be directed to go into every governmental department searhing [sic] for ways to eonomize [sic]. "We have been counting on a continuation of the big excess profits tax," said Smoot. "Those excess profits taxes are not going to keep up and I think you will see quite a drop." # LOCAL IRISHMEN ORGANIZE FOR BOND DRIVE ## Securities of Irish Republic Is to Be Sold During the Period From February 12 to March 17.
