The Butte Miner, 1920-09-24, p.3

FRIDAY MORNING —— THE BUTTE MINER —— SEPTEMBER 24, 1920. —— 3 ## Column 1 # MINER'S STYLE SHOW DRAWS LARGE CROWDS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. Miss Neita Parmenter appeared displaying an orange and black bathing suit from Murphy-Softley's. She wore an orange and black bathing cap and socks, with black shoes. The suit was of excellent style, and Miss Parmenter carried herself with unusual grace. Hennessy's presented Miss Marion Forvilly, a stunning model, in a gray jersey bathing suit, trimmed with pink silk lacing. Her cap and socks were pink and white, and she wore white beach shoes. After the bathing girls came the models wearing street costumes of the latest mode. Miss Orpha Briney, who represented Sheehan's, appeared in a gorgeous afternoon gown of black velvet with medallions of hand-wrought in amber beads and straight back panel. She wore a handsome hat of metal brocade. An imported handbag of metallic cloth completed this stunning outfit. Weinbergs presented Miss Dreda Finley in a striking street suit of Negro brown, with a roll collar of nutria, and trimmed with bands of steel beads. Her hat, which came from the Cockrell Hat shop, was of blue panne velvet with a stylish off-the-face brim of copper metallic brocade. The Home Supply company was represented by Miss Lucille Lapp, wearing a modish pink sweater of circular waist effect, with a brown plaid skirt, and brown velvet turban, embroidered with gold thread. Miss Lapp made her second appearance for her firm in a striking afternoon gown of black charmeuse with smart apron drapery, and little puffs on the hips. Heavy blue and green ribbon added an effective touch of color to the outfit. Over this she wore a gorgeous coat of Behring seal, with a cape collar of squirrel. A chic brown velvet hat with a silver top and blue and henna ostrich feathers completed the outfit. Miss Edna Gillis, representing the Murphy-Softley firm, was gowned in an unusually smart afternoon frock of black satin trimmed with steel beads. With this she wore a moleskin coatee with a squirrel collar, and the fashionable lace hose. An imported handbag of metallic cloth contrasted effectively with the rich fur of her coatee. Miss Clara Stork, modeling for the Gillis store, appeared in a new belted seal coat with heavy roll collar. Her second appearance was made in another seal coat with collar and cuffs of mink. With both wraps she wore a smart sailor hat of hatters' plush, which came from Mattingly's. The school girls from Hennessy's appeared in kilted skirts and tailored hats and dresses, both looking very smart. Pretty Miss Lorna Dalley wore a navy blue serge frock, embroidered in Alice blue and yellow, with a knife pleated skirt. A neat beaver hat with a turned-up brim and streamers of gros-grained ribbon added a pleasing and youthful touch to the costume. The popular Peter Thomson dress was worn by Miss Evaline Zundel, who looked very attractive and neat. Her black velvet tam-o'-shanter, that she wore with a jaunty air, completed her attire. The negligees created a riot of color and beauty, and the models carried themselves perfectly. Hennessy's presented their model, Miss Marian Forvally, in a handsome mandarin coat of rose and white, with a petticoat of Peking blue and a dainty boudoir cap of white net, trimmed with rose ribbon. Mrs. J. C. Ford, also modeling for Hennessy's, displayed a gorgeous negligee of crepe de chine with a deep burnt orange bottom, gradually fading until the shoulders were pure white. It was heavily embroidered in contrasting colors. The dainty Dutch lace cap added the final touch to the outfit. After these dainty boudoir gowns the gorgeous dancing frocks were displayed. The charming model for Weinberg's, Miss Lois Coxe, was stunningly attired in an up-to-the-minute imported dancing frock of sea foam green chiffon, heavily embroidered with flashing crystal beads. Hanging in loose folds from the shoulders down, caught, just below the waist, with a wide girdle of silver metal ribbon, it created a most bewitching and pleasing effect. Smart French heeled pumps of silver color added a final touch to this handsome gown. An error was made in presenting this gown, since Hennessy's placard was allowed to remain on the easel, thus giving the impression that it was from this firm, when in reality it was from the stock of the Weinberg store. Miss Lucille Staebler, representing the Murphy-Softley firm, wore an evening gown of pale yellow taffeta, with an overskirt of silk mulle [sic], very effectively draped, and caught up on one side. Miss Edna Gillis, also a model for Murphy-Softley's, was gowned in a beautiful imported dancing frock of lake blue tulle. A bodice of sequin, which runs down to narrow points to the knees, adds to the charm of the gown. Loose sleeves of tulle fall to the elbows, and the overdrape of tulle is fashioned over a skirt of satin. A gorgeous fan of burnt orange ostrich feathers added the final touch. Miss Gillis also wore a handsome evening gown of rose color, trimmed with ostrich feathers. Over this she wore a gorgeous Hudson seal coat. New gowns and different women's apparel will be displayed at the style show tonight at the American, concluding the exhibit for the fall of 1920. ### AIR SERVICE ABANDONED. Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 23.—Air mail service between Cheyenne and Salt Lake City has been temporarily abandoned, according to local officials, because of a shortage of airplanes. [advertisement, boxed] # Say You Want "Diamond Dyes" ### Don't Spoil or Streak your Material in a Poor Dye Each package of "Diamond Dyes" contains directions so simple that any woman can diamond-dye a new, rich, fadeless color into worn, shabby garments, draperies, coverings, whether wool, silk, linen, cotton or mixed goods. Buy "Diamond Dyes"—no other kind—then perfect results are guaranteed even if you have never dyed before. Druggist has color card—Adv. ## Column 2 # GOVERNOR DENIES ANY LIQUOR INTEREST AID CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. paigns to my knowledge, nor have I ever owned a share of stock in a brewery. I would suggest this question be asked of the reactionary candidate. "The eighteenth amendment is a part of the constitution. The president takes an oath to uphold the constitution and the law. I will not violate my oath of office, but will enforce the law, as I have done as the executive of Ohio, where, for the first time in the history of the state, under my first term, saloons were closed on the Sabbath." Governor Cox challenged the newspapers to get a single direct answer "on any subject" from Senator Harding. "He has been definite," the governor continued, "and he has been consistent on one thing only, his championship of the cause of big business and reaction and his 'deference and devotion' to the senatorial oligarchy. "When a political committee endeavors to kill the news, when it dares not meet the issue on which its candidate wobbles from day to day, when it seeks to secure the presidency by use of a huge corruption fund, it is time for the people to think seriously. I am going back east after my visit in the west, carrying this assurance to friends and foes—the west is alive, the west is alert and the west is with me in my fight for the peace of the world and the progress and peace of our land—the west cannot be bought." The League of Nations, reclamation and labor were prominent themes of the governor's speech. He also reiterated that money saved by disarmament would be available for greater reclamation work in the west. ### In Colorado Today. Governor Cox reached here after a long detour, caused by the wreck of his special train near Phoenix yesterday, via Deming, N. M., where he gave a brief talk and shook hands with scores of persons. Traveling all day, partly by special and regular trains, the governor greeted more admirers at Rincon, San Marcial and Belen. Many Mexicans, halfbreeds and Indians heard him. Colorado will be the governor's campaign ground tomorrow. Leaving here late tonight, he was to spend an hour tomorrow morning at Trinidad, make a real platform talk at Walsenburg, scene of mine disorders, and arrive at Pueblo at 12:10 p. m., to speak at the auditorium and visit the Colorado state fair. Leaving Pueblo at 3:10 o'clock, the governor was to speak 10 minutes at Colorado Springs at 4:35 and arrive at Denves [sic] at 7:30 for a night meeting. ### QUESTION IMPORTANT. Albuquerque, N. M., Sept. 23.—In reply to one of the local newspaper's questions, whether there was any precedent for a "sacred referendum" on the league, Governor Cox said: "Never before has there been any question submitted to the people or the congress that involved world-wide conditions, and it has never before been necessary to appeal for relief to the American people, because never before have we had a senatorial oligarchy that attempted to defy public wish and humanity." ### Would Enter League. To another question, whether he would consider his election a mandate for American entrance into the league, and the election of Senator Harding a decision against American participation. Governor Cox replied: 'Unquestionably yes. Why, the defeat of Cox will mean that the people do not favor going in." The governor also discussed objections to the league and declared that "every objection you've heard is covered by the Hitchcock reservations." Several thousand persons were at the station when the governor's train pulled in. He walked at the head of a parade, illuminated by red candles, to the armory, where an overflow audience applauded frequently. Senator Jones, introducing the governor, said that the league covenant was omitted from the republican handbook, and asked if the republicans proposed to misinform the people. Governor Cox repeated his charges and evidence of a republican "corruption fund" secured by quotas. He said that witnesses before the senate investigating committee had admitted quotas for six cities aggregating $2,000[,?]000 of the $8,145[,?]000 fund he charged was allotted to 51 cities. The candidate observed that "money diggers" from the other cities had not been called before the committee. ### Ignores Watkins. Governor Cox, democratic presidential candidate, will ignore proposals from the prohibitionist party for retirement of Aaron S. Watkins, prohibition candidate, from the presidential race if the governor would pledge himself to certain measures regarding the Volstead law. Governor Cox made this announcement upon his arrival here tonight. It was understood that a similar proposal was made to Senator Harding, the republican nominee. The prohibition party's proposal, Governor Cox stated, came in a letter about two weeks ago from Virgil G. Hinshaw, who said he acted officially. The letter was in the nature of a questionnaire regarding action upon the Volstead law and other prohibition questions. Mr. Hinshaw, it was said, expressed "confidence" that Mr. Watkins would retire from the presidential arena should Governor Cox reply favorably to the questionnaire. "No reply has been or will be made," Governor Cox said tonight, and he declined also to comment upon a similar offer by Mr. Watkins. # MORE KILLED IN RIOTS IN IRISH TERRITORY Dublin, Sept. 23.—An official report issued at Dublin castle tonight shows that the attack Wednesday on a motor lorry containing six policemen near La Hinch was more serious than announced. Six constables were killed, while soldiers assert they saw four assailants drop. ### MANY HOMES BURN. London, Sept. 23.—As a reprisal for the shooting of policemen near La Hinch, says a dispatch to the Central News from Ennis, uniformed men fired 18 houses in Miltown, Malbay, La Hinch and Ennistown. Three civilians were shot dead. ### HUGE WAREHOUSE BURNS. Sacramento, Sept. 23.—A warehouse of the California Packing corporation in the river front district of Sacramento was destroyed by fire late today. Company officials estimated the loss as about $1,500,000. The corporation had in storage here about 200,000 cases of canned goods. Winchendon, Mass., Sept. 23.—The cotton mills of N. D. White & Sons will go on a three days a week schedule beginning September 30, it was announced today. ## Column 3 # MILLERAND IS PRESIDENT OF FRENCH NATION ## New Official Greatly Moved by Great Ovation Given in the Chamber of Deputies; Plans Reconstruction Work. By the Associated Press. Versailles, Sept. 23.—Alexander Millerand was invested with the legislative powers of the eleventh president of the third republic today before the assembled Versailles congress, 10 minutes after Leon Bourgeois, president of the senate, had proclaimed him elected, without the usual formalities of receiving the powers from the hands of the retiring president. The illness of Mr. Deschanel made impossible the customary ceremony at Paris, but M. Millerand received the greatest ovation at Versailles ever given a president. The tenth congress gave vent to all the pent up enthusiasm of the past five days and cheered for several minutes. Millerand, surrounded by deputies and senators, was greatly moved. He replied to the congratulations of M. Bourgeois with the assurance that he would discharge the duties of his post in accordance with the constitution. "Victorious France must rebuild its ruins and repair its wounds, we must continue a foreign policy worthy of our victory and our dead. The republican whom congress has just designated as president will bring to the discharge of his duties all his intelligence and energy and try to be worthy the confidence of the people's representatives." M. Millerand insisted on shaking hands with all the deputies and senators. He then caught sight of a group of French and foreign correspondents and walked over and spoke to each in turn, shaking hands with all. To a query as to the state of his health, he replied: "Splendid; I am not the least bit tired or downhearted." # ROUNDUP RIDER HURT IN EVENT AT DILLON CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. The events were presented in good order and all of them were well directed, Bud McGrath, field announcer, calling out each incident in his customary humorous manner. This year's exhibition showed a great improvement over previous roundups. Better riders and wild horses have been secured. The next two days promise to even eclipse the events of Thursday. ### Thursday's Winners. Winners of the first day's program are as follows: Quarter mile boys' race—Thompson, first; Sira, second. Rescue race—Sandy, first; Teer, second. Potato race—Gauchay, first; P. Flynn, second. Half mile cowboy race—P. Flynn, first; Herb Arnold, second. Stage coash [sic] race—Claude Anderson, first; C. P. Q., second. Special quarter-mile free-for-all, George Roberts, first; Thompson, second. The riders in the bucking contests were Bert Clayton, Jack Bean, Art Gauchay, Elmore Brundage, Tom Cox, Jack Burns and Bill Abshire, the latter being thrown by Hell to Get, one of the worst buckers of the day. The bareback riding contests were good all the way through, each rider sticking to his mount for the required time. # SEVEN KILLED IN NEW ITALIAN RIOTS By Associated Press. London, Sept. 23.—Seven persons were killed in the riots in Turin, says a Rome distpatch [sic] to the Exchange Telergaph [sic] company. A dispatch from Turin says that, following an attack on Royal guards, troops were ordered out and firing began. The workers chiefly used hand grenades. Coolness of the troops prevented an absolute massacre. For two hours the industrial districts were the scenes of sanguinary encounters. In one quarter machine guns kept up a lively fire two hours. Late in the day order was restored, but theaters, shops and hotels weer [sic] closed. Two deaths were reported as a result of the fighting in this vicinity, one being a striker. Six strikers were seriously wounded. Machine guns have been posted at all strategic points and both sides are preparing for further trouble. A referendum among strikers has resulted in rejection of the agreement arrived at in Rome between the employers' representatives and the workers in the metal trades, says another dispatch. # WILSON CONGRATULATES AMERICAN LEGION MEN Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 23.—President Wilson, through the Legionnaire, weekly publication of the posts in Cuyahoga county, today sent a message of greeting to the American Legion, which will open a three-day convention Monday. He congratulated members of the legion on the ideals exemplified by their service during the war and by their efforts since the war as an organization devoted to public welfare. The message reads: "The nation sent you as its representatives and its champions; the fidelity with which you fought fittingly represented the faithfulness with which those at home labored and sacrificed in the same cause. The result of it all was a military victory in France and a moral victory in the world; the deeds of valor, the deeds of high thinking, the deeds of righteous impulses together make a great tradition, and it will be good for all future generations to continue your practice of cherishing those memories and keeping them bright as an example and inspiration." ## Column 4 [Hennessy's boxed advertisement, spans columns 4-7, upper two thirds of the page; the whole of it is given here at the head of Column 4] # *Friday's Fabric Sales* ## *Are of Timely Interest to All Who Sew* *Excellent Food* The secret of the Luncheonette's popularity.

I'm tired of going after the poor little devil. I want the enforcement corps to be a body that counts—even among their own members in the very heart of the government. "I could give you many names right now myself but they (those named) would know before I left this platform that they would be sought—the leaks are just that close here in the government. "The prohibition commissioner, if he wanted to, could take one or two men and could round up senators, government officials and scores of others for violation of the liquor laws. New York could be cleaned up in 60 days. But the department of justice and Mr. Kramer's bureau and the other government departments have got to work together. As it is everybody's ducked. Even Cox and Harding have ducked—except when heckled and that's not a satisfactory way to get assurances. ### Politics Charged. Reply to Mr. Coler's charges Mr. Kramer said that to a considerable extent they were true, but he insisted the New York commissioner should provide "a bill of particulars" in order that the small force of the bureau might know where to go on the trail of the bootleggers. He told the congress he was doing his "level best" to enforce the laws. After officials of the congress had declined to permit delivery of that part of his speech referring to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Coler gave it out in the form of a public statement. Mr. Anderson in his reply said: "Any statement that I have made any attack upon any church is utterly untrue. But fear of misrepresentation has deterred me from exposing and thwarting the Tammany scheme to capitalize politically against prohibition the influence of a great church, many of whose clergy and laymen have been noted leaders in the fight to destroy the liquor traffic." ## Column 5 # POLICE PROBE MYSTERY IN LOS ANGELES MURDER [headline and text run on into Column 6] CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. married twice. His first wife, divorced, is believed to be living in Missouri. His second wife, whom he married in 190[9?], was a Miss Dollie Mae Winters. She and their only child died a short time after its birth. A daughter by the first wife, Frances, 15 years old, lived in Phoenix, Ariz. ### Dead Three Months. Physicians said Denton had been dead about three months. The body was found by a private detective engaged by Denton's attorney, Judge Ross Avery, when Denton's continued absence aroused his suspicions. Judge Avery said Denton had been divorced and had a daughter, Frances Denton, living in Phoenix, Ariz.

Denton had left a will with Judge Avery and when the latter wished to consult his client about the instrument he was unable to locate him. Denton had been living in a fashionable apartment house here. The people in charge know of no reason for his absence. The house in which his body was found was his property, but had been occupied by tenants for some time. The present tenant took the property through an agent about a month ago. The former tenants were the subjects of search today. # EXPENSE ACCOUNTS OF OFFICIALS PROBED CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. The committee's guns were also brought to bear on charges that federal publications had been used for democratic political propaganda purposes. P. P. Claxton, head of the federal bureau of education, insisted that the bureau's semi-monthly paper, "School Life," had been conducted in a nonpartisan spirit under his administration; he declared, however, that articles appearing in "School Service," a larger publication inherited by his bureau from the former committee on public information and since suspended for lack of funds, were apparently intended to support the League of Nations, but said the bureau was not directly in control of the paper at the time. The committee today decided to order William Barnes, Jr., New York, to produce certain lists and other papers connected with publication of his book, "Republicanism in 1920." He had protested that this was a private enterprise but was overruled. Barnes obtained from his office at Albany a report showing that the total gross returns on subscriptions for the book was $73,675, of wrich [sic] the solicitors were to get from 50 to 55 per cent as commission. ## Column 7 # NEW MYSTERY BEING PROBED BY N.Y. POLICE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. been sold three times. The name of the latest owner, if known, was not made public. New York and vicinity was subjected to more bomb scares today. An anonymous warning that the Grand Central station would be blown up at 2 p. m. caused detectives to be rushed to the terminal and also to the Pennsylvania station and the postoffice. Nothing happened. In Brooklyn, seizure of a rickety buggy by federal authorities caused a little excitement. The buggy, which drew up alongside the federal building, was found, however, to contain 12 bottles of whiskey and not bombs. ### Suspicious Tubs. In Bogota, N. J., two dozen suspicious looking tubs were found in a freight car. An investigation was started to determine whether they were bombs or bomb casings. Seigel, Kessler & Dulchin, hardware dealers, testifying before the grand jury, described the man who they said had appeared at their store for nine-pound window weights, which they were unable to furnish him. Sawed up weights of this nature were found after the explosion. ### GUARDS AT SAN FRANCISCO. San Francisco, Sept. 23.—Guards were placed around banks, the sub-treasury, customs house and other public buildings here today as the result of a postal card warning received by Postmaster Charles Fay, which urged that such institutions be guarded today. ### SUPERIOR WARNED. Superior, Minn., Sept. 23.—A warning that the Douglas county courthouse and every prominent business house on Tower avenue would be blown up Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock was found in a mail box here today. Hollow concrete posts, filled with sand to transmit the loads, have been invented by a Belgian engineer to serve as mine timbers.
