8 THE ANACONDA STANDARD, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1922. # BUTTE SONS OF ERIN PREPARED TO OBSERVE ST. PATRICK'S DAY [spans columns 1-7] ## *Nothing but Blizzard Can Interfere With Plans for Monster Demonstration With Anaconda Helping* [spans columns 1-7] ## Column 1 # CHURCH SERVICES AND GREAT PARADE ## Father Batens to Celebrate Silver Jubilee. Mass Also at St. Mary's. Nothing but the weather will interfere with the celebration of St. Pat[ri?]ck's day in Butte and it will be the toughest kind of a day to even in the slightest degree interfere with the plans arranged by the hardy sons and daughters of Erin to properly observe the day. Last night the general committee on the celebration announced that its plans for the parade and other features were complete and that there would be the best demonstration of Irish unity that ever had been staged in Butte. There are two notable church services to start off the day. The first will be at St. Mary's church at 9 o'clock when a special mass will be celebrated by the Rev. Father Hannan with a sermon by the Rev. Father Murnane of Drummond. At 10:30 there will be held the pontifical high mass celebrated by Bishop Carroll at St. Lawrence's church in honor of the silver jubilee of the Rev. F. X. Batens, pastor of the church. At 2 o'clock Father Batens will be the guest of honor at a banquet to be held at the Silver Bow club and which will be attended by priests from nearly every parish in the diocese. ### Starts at 2:30. At 2:30 the parade will start. Chief Marshal Timothy O'Leary said that the start will be made on time no matter what the conditions are. Anaconda is coming to Butte strong. At the head of the parade will be former service men in uniform. Formation of the parade is: Marshal of the day and his aids. Detachment of city police. Former soldiers of American wars. Spanish-American war veterans. World war veterans. American Legion. Wounded soldiers of the world war in autos. Municipal band of Anaconda. The Cumann Nam Ban which is the auxiliary of the soldiers of the Irish republic. Anaconda contingent. Pearse-Connolly fife and drum corps. Sarsfield Social club. Councils of the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Republic, headed by the Thomas Ashe council. Irish societies. Automobiles. The American flag will hold the dominant place in the parade and will be guarded by former veterans, soldiers, sailors and marines of the United States army. The flag of the Irish republic and banners will be displayed. ### The Route. The parade will move over the following route: Form at federal building at 2:30, south on Main to Broadway, west on Broadway to Crystal, south on Crystal to Park, east on Park to Covert, north on Covert to Broadway, west on Broadway to Main, north on Main to Daly monument, circle monument and disperse. Timothy O'Leary of Walkerville is chief marshal of the parade. His aids and assistants will include Edward Morgan, Edward Lane, John H. O'Meara, the Rev. Father O'Malley, Edward Connolly and Michael Moran. Active aids will be ex-soldiers who saw service overseas in uniform. The parade is under the auspices of the Sarsfield Social club, which was reorganized a year ago this month. Co-operating are the councils of the American Association for Recognition of the Irish Republic. A meeting of the general committee on parade is called for tonight at St. Mary's hall at 8 o'clock when the final plans for the celebration will be approved. The American flag will be carried by an ex-service man in uniform at the head of the column, and will hold a conspicuous place throughout. The tricolor of the Irish republic, together with other banners, will be carried by the different organizations participating, and all marchers are requested to display the green, white and orange, symbol of the unity of Irishmen in the old land of all creeds and classes working together for the welfare of their common country. The parade will be under the auspices of the Sarsfield club, and the banner will carry a likeness of the hero of Limerick for whom the club was named. ### Dances in Evening. At the dances in the evening reception committees will be in charge and every effort will be made to insure an enjoyable evening. Maurice J. McDonough will be floor manager at Hibernia hall. The reception committee includes Judge Lynch (chairman), W. S. Sewell, John O'Leary, Jerry Egan, Con P. Sullivan and John J. McCarthy.

The judge in responding to the introduction delivered an eloquent address. "Let us remember," said Judge Jackson, "some of the services that have been rendered to this nation, this state and this city by the men of our race." He reviewed the contributions to the upbuilding of the state of such men as D. J. Hennessy and others, and declared that Irishmen were American citizens in thought and spirit before they ever reached these shores. Referring to the part men of Irish birth had taken in building up Montana and Butte, he said: "Consider Thomas Francis Meagher, governor of this state in the early days. Remember Senator Tom Carter and a later day T. J. Walsh. Remember that at the head of the largest mining company in the country is a Ryan and a Kelley. These men have done much and are continuing to do much for the development of this city and state. Let us remember that these services have been rendered and are being rendered by men of our race and that first and last we are always loyal American citizens of a country to which Ireland has given so many of her gallant sons. "The man or group of men who puts his hand against us is putting his hand against men who do not readily brook oppression, a prejudice or injustice. All we want is a square deal. We do not ask any favors but we feel that the men of Irish blood in America are entitled to the same measure of justice and consideration that those of other races enjoy, and they propose to get it." The conclusion of Judge Jackson's address was greeted with warm applause. ### Judge Lynch. Judge J. J. Lynch received an ovation when Toastmaster Nevin referred to him as the originator of the banquet of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. The judge had asked not to be called on, Mr. Nevin said, but he felt the evening would not be complete unless he was heard from. The entire audience arose as one man and cheered the judge who in response to calls from all parts of the hall spoke briefly. "I had something to do with the banquet," said Judge Lynch, "but John J. O'Meara and M. J. English were also responsible. We started these banquets but they were abandoned in 1914 to be revived this evening. I never attended one in which there was so much good fellowship, so much enthusiasm, such wholeheartedness as the present occasion." The speaker called attention to the American flag and the banners of the Irish republic which adorned the walls and said this was as it should be. "It is altogether fitting," he said, "since one-half the men and one-third of the officers of the American revolutionary army were men of Irish blood and likewise that the famous Irish brigade of France crossed the seas, a fact not generally known, to fight for American independence. "More than 500,000 Irishmen died for France. That debt has never been repaid. When the French government proposed to disband the Irish brigade that had fought under the French flag for nearly 100 years, the soldiers requested that they be sent to fight for America instead, and they were sent. "We are here of a right," he said. "We are loyal, faithful sons. We have fought in every American war. We have given our blood, brawn and brain to the development and perpetuation of this republic. Long live the republic of the United States and long live the republic of Ireland. May they always stand together." ### Frank Walker. Frank C. Walker was next introduced as a young man of American birth whose sympathies with and understanding of Irish history were second to none. Mr. Walker made a semi-humorous address in which he told laughable tales at the expense of Judge Lynch, Father M. O'D. Barry and others around the board. He said he had been referred to as a hyphenated American and had reflected long on the appellation to determine if it was one of approbrium [sic]. "Since to be an Irish-American carries with it no implication of division of allegiance," he said, "since it means no sacrifice of loyalty to the American government, since the principles to ## Column 3 ### GENERAL COMMITTEE ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATION [heading spans columns 3-6] [illustration: group photograph of the general committee in three rows; caption under it in columns 5-6] [portrait: man in a soft hat, head and shoulders; no caption] which Ireland is dedicated are the same as ours I can accept the appellation without apology or protest." ### R. R. Kilroy. R. R. Kilroy was called on to respond to the toast "Rebel Cork." He was received with enthusiasm. Mr. Kilroy said in part: "I am proud to be announced from rebel Cork. I am proud to be announced as a Protestant rebel from rebel Cork—for Cork—rebel Cork was the county in Ireland, 80 per cent Catholic, that chose Protestant Parnell to lead the fight for Irish freedom and in the shrine the Irish people will presently consecrate in College Green will be found side by side the names of two men whom Cork loved and honored—Protestant Parnell and Catholic MacSwiney. "MacSwiney, his distinguished sister and myself were among the first students to matriculate in Ireland's first national university in Dublin. Let me say for spiritual Ireland, holy Ireland, that of one thousand students in that university I never knew one who considered religion a bar or a barrier, as a hallmark of patriotism. Bigotry was unknown, prejudice the weakness of the vulgar, cultured Ireland knows no creed. "When the city of Cork was fired a year ago by British troops, as was the city of Washington a little over a century ago by British troops, Corkmen like myself read daily with horror at that time of the burning of those beautiful buildings, temples of art and literature and education—burned for the same reason that the British burned Washington because the people of Ireland, like the people of the infant republic of the United States, were fighting like free men for a free government. "To those of us bred in Ireland who love this grand, free country of ours and who cherish and love its institutions, comes the same joy at what Ireland has done that fills our hearts when we read of Bunker Hill and Lexington. "I met a few weeks ago in a hotel in San Francisco a major of France's regular army, a wearer of the croix de guerre. He knew Ireland of today better than I do; he was an observer with the British army of occupation. I can pay my native land no greater compliment; I can give you no greater pleasure tonight than to tell you his reply when I asked him why he was so enthusiastic about the gallant little army of the Sinn Fein republic: " 'In five years of warfare,' said he, 'the army of Ireland's republic never enlisted a traitor.' "That is the tribute of a Frenchman—a citizen of the republic in whose early struggles Irish soldiers participated as did Meagher at Fredericksburg—Meagher, whom Montana has so signally honored and whose statue stands today—'Meagher of the sword'—in front of our state capitol in Helena—a perpetual reminder to the world that the Irishman in America, first an Irishman is always an Amercian [sic]." ### Judge J, V, Dwyer, Judge John V, Dwyer, whom the toastmaster complimented by saying he "started in the mines," at which ## Column 4 the banqueters cheered heartily, recounted the story of men of Irish birth and descent in the development of the United States. "The first man to fall at Lexington," said he, "was Captain Parker, an Irishman born. At Vera Cruz the first man who fell was Haggerty, born in Ireland. The first American soldier of the American expeditionary forces who fell in France was Fitzsimmons of Kansas City, born of an Irish father and an Irish mother. The last to fall on the 11th of Noveber [sic], 1918, as the note of truce echoed across the opposing trenches, was named Devlin, born in Cork." Toastmaster Nevin introduced Maj. W. E. Deeney as a man "who had fought at the battle of Fontenoy," creating merriment in which the major joined. Mr. Deeney stated that he was a native of "Dark Donegal," where the people served the cause of Ireland without regard to any religious differences. "They served the cause irrespective of religion or difference of faith," he said. ### Father Barry. Father M. O'D. Barry was greeted with enthusiasm. The man who really put Ireland on the map of the world, Father Barry said, was him whom they had met to honor. St. Patrick, he said, was one of the world's greatest benefactors. Ireland was pagan when he came. He taught her Christian ideas of justice and mercy. He told them "The truth will make you free," that "right must be preferred to might," likewise the "sacredness of property rights and respect for constituted authority." These teachings had gone out over the world. He paid a high tribute to the martyrs of Easter week and urged that the people of Ireland must judge for themselves what course to pursue. "We can best help Ireland," he said, "by being the best possible kind of Americans. The man who belittles the constitutional provisions who sneers at American ideals, is a traitor to his country." ### Senator Gallwey. Harry Gallwey was accorded one of the ovations of the evening. He was introduced as a "hot-water boy," the son of one of the Irishmen who built up the West. Briefly sketching the success in the West of men of Irish birth, he predicted the future of their native land and said: "Some may not like what they have got but they haven't finished trying." Dr. T. J. B. Shanley spoke briefly and humorously. He had been introduced as one of the new type of old-time politicians who can get all the votes in a convention without making a campaign. James T. Finlen, president of the Silver Bow National bank, was introduced as the son of a friend and companion of Marcus Daly—as one of the leading bankers of the state and one whose word was always good. Mr. Finlen spoke briefly and brought the diners to their feet when he said: "With this bunch behind anything that Butte wants, Butte is going to get it." D. J. Fitz Gerald, another personal friend of Marcus Daly, spoke feelingly of the man who started the indus- ## Column 5 [photograph caption, spans columns 5-6] Top row, left to right—Sean O'Sullivan, Martin J.

A partial list of the banqueters showed an attendance of 96 guests, several coming after the roster had been made up, having been detained. A sumptuous banquet was served to the strains of Irish and American music, the airs of either land being greeted with equal enthusiasm. Following is the list of guests previously mentioned, together with their place of birth. About 24 per cent gave Ireland as their birth place. A few gave no place of birth. J. J. Murphy gave his place of birth as "Chief of Police," saying "It's good enough." A man from Frederickton, New Brunswick, registered from the "Celestial City." The list: Charles P.

MILES CITY, March 16.—The ice in the Tongue river, which empties into the Yellowstone one-half mile northwest of Miles City, went out with a rush about noon today and, the ice in the latter river holding firm, the flood swept the floating ice far out onto the larger stream, piling the ice in a high gorge from bank to bank and backing the water up in the Yellowstone a considerable distance, to a depth of three feet. A warning has been sent out to all residents of the "island" community north of town to move to the mainland, as the Yellowstone is expected momentarily to break loose. The danger warning was issued by Superintendent J. S. Buckner of the city water works, which is located on the south bank of the Yellowstone a short distance above the town. # ATTORNEY CUTS HIS THROAT IN BATHTUB By the Associated Press. SPOKANE, Wash., March 16.—Oscar L. Cain, former United States district attorney for the eastern district of Washington, was found dead in the bathroom of his residence tonight with his throat slashed. Mr. Cain was stricken with a serious attack of influenza while conducting a trial at Moscow, Idaho, two weeks ago. Following his illness, he suffered a nervous breakdown and has been despondent for several days. He continued, however, to go to his law office every day. According to a statement made by E. S. Gibson, a cousin, Mr. Cain had intimated to his wife that he might take his life, and was consequentlyl [sic] being watched. ## Column 7 # WOMAN SPURNED STATE DECLARES ## Attorney Insists Mrs. Obenchain Brought About Kennedy Killing. (Continued from Page 1.) ing, Mr. Keyes told the jury that there was "sufficient evidence to convict Mrs. Obenchain of the crime of murder," and said they would be "false to their oaths" if they let the fact that the defendant was a woman affect the verdict. Jud Rush, senior counsel for the defense, completed his argument this morning in an eloquent plea that brought tears to Mrs. Obenchain's eyes as she sat beside him. He asked the jury to return a verdict that "would open the barred doors for this woman who has suffered so much." He pleaded that she "be turned back to freedom where she could grow old in doing good in the world, and when her time should come her soul could join that of her lover, J. Belton Kennedy." # PROCLAIM FUAD KING OF EGYPT ## Independence and Sovereignty of Nation Announced to World. (Continued from Page 1.) the welfare and happiness of our beloved country. We hope this day will inaugurate an era which will restore Egypt's grandeur." ### PASSES SECOND READING. By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 16.—The delay in appointing a successor to Edwin S. Montagu as secretary for India and other cabinet changes, such as finding a place for Sir Hamar Greenwood, whose occupation will be gone with the complete establishment of the provisional government in Ireland are causing renewed speculation, especially as Premier Lloyd George, although in seclusion in Wales, keeps in daily telephonic consultation with his ministers in London. All kinds of rumors affecting the premier's position are current, one being that he intends to await the fate of the Free State bill in the house of lords, where there has been talk of the "die hards" proposing to amend the bill in committee on the Ulster boundary question. If an amendment of this kind were carried, it is rumored that Mr. Lloyd George would resign, and appeal to the country on the Irish settlement. The house of lords passed the second reading of the bill without discussion today. The debate was quite uneventful, apart from Lord Carson's outbreak, in which he attacked the coalition government, but did not seek rejection of the bill. # BRASS OFFICIALS WILL VISIT MINES (Continued from Page 1.) Gillie, general manager of mines; W. B. Daly, assistant general manager of mines; Frederick Laist, general manager of the Anaconda smelter, and W. N. Tanner, chief engineer, stationed at Anaconda. The party of visitors are at the Thornton. ### How They Feel About Merger. A very friendly attitude toward the merger of the Anaconda company and the American Brass has developed among the former stockholders of the brass company and the general public in the sections where the plants of the brass company are located, as the result of the visit of John D. Ryan, chairman of the board of directors of the Anaconda company, and C. F. Kelley, president of the company, Mr. Allen, spokesman for the visitors, said. All of the visitors are optimistic concerning the future of both the copper and brass industry as a whole and the producing and manufacturing alliance in particular. ### Informal Program. The program to be followed by the visitors during their stay in the Treasure state is informal, A. C. M. officers in charge of the visit said last night. Although no public greeting for them is planned at any of the three cities to be visited, it is likely that the easterners will be guests at the Rotary club and Kiwanis club meetings and similar semi-civic gatherings in Butte, Anaconda and Great Falls. An inspection of the Butte mines will probably start the visit today, with a trip to Anaconda to follow and a journey to the Great Falls smelter and plants concluding the visit. # POLICE CHIEF IS IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT By the Associated Press. AUSTIN, Texas, March 16.—District Judge J. D. Hamilton late today adjudged Police Commissioner J. D. Copeland and F. G. Reynolds, clerk of a local fraternal organization, to be in contempt of court for refusal to answer questions relating to the Ku Klux Klan and whether they were members of it. The judge imposed a fine of $100 on each and ordered them to jail until they should purge themselves of contempt by answering the questions of the grand jury.
