Page overview

A densely packed Sunday front page of The Butte Miner for April 13, 1924, combining local civic and political news, society items, and a heavy load of display advertising. The dominant subjects are a city council meeting on a grader purchase, local elections, a hotel merger-opponents rally, a bulb show, and a playground-improvement initiative, alongside multiple entertainment and retail ads. The editorial tone is straightforwardly reportorial, with no single story commanding dramatic prominence. Advertising — for pianos, patent medicines, dancing, and dry goods — occupies roughly the right third of the page.

Juxtapositions

  • The long precinct-by-precinct list of election judges for the consolidation vote occupies the full left column, running directly beside a special city council meeting notice about a mundane grader purchase — pairing a major civic-question ballot with routine municipal procurement.
  • The 'Merger Opponents Speak from Hotel' story, reporting public arguments against Butte–Silver Bow county consolidation, sits on the same page as the judge-appointment list for that same consolidation election, giving readers two sides of the issue in a single glance.

A special meeting of the city council has been called by Mayor W. D. Horgan for Monday evening. A canvas of the recent muntcipal election will be made and the clerk ordered to furnish certificates of election to the various successful candidates. The matter of the Fourth ward tie will not be considered at the Monday session but will be definitely settled at the regular meeting of the council to be held Wednesday evening, April 16. For the first time in the history of municipal elections, an aldermanic contest resulted in a tie vote, both Al Pierce, republican incumbent and Charles Malloy, democratic candidate each receiving 312 votes. The present council is composed of eight democrats and eight republicans. In the event of a tie vote, Mayor Horgan, democrat, has the deciding vote. At the special session tomorrow evening the purchase of a one-man grader will also come before the city fathers. While horses have been replaced by motors in the various city departments during the past six months, the new Wehr grader is another step in municipal economy. The machine is operated by but one man and besides grading and clearing durt surface streets, a drag and roller attachment is also included in the equipment. While the exact figures were not available yesterday, the motorization of the street and garbage departments has effected a saving of more than $5,000 a month over the figures of a year ago. # *Pythian Sisters' Chief Visits Calanthe Temple* Katy Hayden, grand chief of the Pythian Sister, visited Calanthe temple last Tuesday. She complimented the officers and the work of the drill team. Many visitors were present from Anaconda and Deer Lodge. The good wishes of the Pythian Sisters of Calanthe were effectively expressed by Sister Julian of Walkerville, who presented the grand chief with a beautiful purse on behalf of the temple. After the ceremony the sisters went to Gamer's for luncheon. David Hopkins, grand chancellor of the domain of Montana, was present at the luncheon and made an interesting and instructive talk on the valuable help to the Knights of Pythias by the hearty co-operation of the women auxiliaries. Pleasing remarks were then made by the grand chief. # *Claims Auto Ride Is Cure for Moon Haze* A new way to sober up is to steal a car and take a ride. In the police court yesterday Albian Stenious, in answer to a question by City Attorney Andrew, testified that he felt moon hazy and he took an auto owned by Herman Lona, 823 East Broadway. Lona telephoned to police headquarters and Night Chief O'Donnell grabbed Stenious. The court gave him five days in jail besides a fine of $25. ### CARD OF THANKS. Thanking neighbors and friends for their kindness during the illness and death of husband and father. Also for the beautiful floral offerings and spiritual bouquets. MRS. N. WALSH, JOHN WALSH, JAMES WALSH, SARA WALSH and MRS. C. M. CACKETT. —Adv. ### OLD TIMER PASSES ON. MELSTONE, April 12.—(Special.)—Melstone acquaintances were both shocked and pained on Monday to learn that R. H. Hansen, a resident of what is known as "Chicago Flats," a few miles north of town, died suddenly Sunday evening. [list of judges continues from column 2, precinct 73] Yale avenue; William P.

The foremost of our great dramatic sopranos to receive her entire musical education in this country, she was born in Meriden, Conn. Early in life she sang in a choir. Then she sang in moving picture theatres in her home town. For two years she filled an engagement in a New Haven hotel. Following a time in vaudeville, she took up voice study with a prominent New York teacher. The late Enrico Caruso met her, introduced her to Mr. Gatti-Casazza, manager of the Metropolitan and the rest is history. Oddly enough her debut, a sensation, was made in "*La Forza del Destino*" which in her case seems self-evident. ## Column 4 # BUTTE BRIEFS PRONTO EMPLOYMENT SERVICE. Park and Montana. Always open.

Davis and his son, Lovell, left yesterday morning for their home at Jeffers. Mr. Davis has been in the city recuperating from an attack of blood poisoning and his son underwent an operation for appendicitis at the Murray hospital. FATHER STAYSHOME—"Gim'me a razor," said a man yesterday in a local drug store. When the clerk asked him what style of razor the man acknowledged that he had always shaved at a barber shop, but recently his wife and three daughters are regular hair-bob and marcel customers and he had neither the time nor money to go to the barber himself. "So I guess I'll take a dollar safety," he said. # CLAIMS TO BE HEIR TO VOTOUR ESTATE ## Says She Was Adopted as Foster Child and Promised She Would Get All. Another angle of the fight over the estate of Euphenia Votour came up yesterday in Judge Carroll's department of court. When Mrs. Votour died, a will was produced in which Catherine McGuire was named as sole legatee. One of the decedent's sisters contested the will on the ground of undue influence being used, and Judge Lynch decided in her favor. Then Marie Porier and other relatives in Canada were declared the heirs, along with the sister and some other relatives in this country. Then came Anna Gravelin with a suit against the heirs, and she claimed the whole estate as foster child of Mrs. Votour. She stated in her complaint that when she was a child she was adopted by the Votours, with a verbal contract that she was to be regarded as their own and also to inherit as such. Yesterday's proceedings were on a motion by the defendants to have differently stated the plaintiff's two causes of action—the one to establish herself as the foster and adopted child, and the other to establish the agreement that she was to inherit as such. Judge Carroll denied the motion, holding that the two claims could be heard and determined in the one action. One feature of the proceeding that is unprecedented is that the defendants in Canada could not be reached by personal service, and that service had to be by publication. The law provides for service by publication in certain cases, particularly in divorce actions, but there is no provision for such service in the case under consideration. It is understood that the disposal of the motion yesterday leaves the fight of Anna Gravelin for the Votour estate in shape to go to trial when the parties are ready. # DILLON ### ON COOLIDGE COMMITTEE. Dillon Bureau. Senator Frank Hazelbaker, recently appointed chairman of the Beaverhead County Coolidge committee, has appointed thirty-six members in the county. They are: George Gosman, W. W. Hawkins, W. T. Scully, W. G. Gilbert, T. D. Olmstead, Lambert Eliel, George Baker of Dillon; George F. Gray of Bannack, W. S. Tash and William Pahnish of Polaris; Martin Jackson, George Clemow and F.

Only a few finishing touches remain to be done on the interior and some of the equipment installed. Next Friday the Dillon scouts will motor to Lima, where they will present their play, "The Boy Scout Hero," which made a decided hit before an audience here a short time ago. ### BOND ELECTION MAY. Dillon Bureau. May 12, was the date set at the extra session of the city council last week as the date on which the special $100,000 bond election for repairing and improving the city water system would be held. ### MINERS OUT OF WORK. WASHINGTON, April 12.—Sixty-five thousand miners were declared today by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mines Workers to be out of employment as a result of inability of operators and miners' union officials to reach an agreement on the basis of the wage scale recently negotiated for the central competitive field. An additional 10,000 in southwestern Kentucky probably will cease work April 15, when an armistice now in effect expires. ## Column 5 # BULB SHOW PROVES BIGGEST SUCCESS ## Youngsters Awarded Prizes for Spring Display in Power Windows. School children of Butte are among the most enthusiastic gardeners in the city, declare Mrs. F. N. Bell and C. F. Dallman who yesterday judged the annual spring bulb show in the Montana Power company and presented to winners and little exhibitors the gifts of potted plants from local florists. The bulb show was unusually beautiful this year, all of the schools, which entered, having good luck with their plants. Mrs. E. M.

John J. Caplis acted as chairman of the gathering. The speakers were: Judge J. J. Lynch, County Attorney George Bourquin, Sheriff Larry Duggan, James T. Fitzgerald, Joseph H. Griffin and J. C. Whiteley, president of the Silver Bow Trades and Labor council. During the addresses the crowd dwindled until about 200 people were grouped about the hotel balcony when Charles Whiteley, the last speaker, appeared. Sheriff Duggan, in a rabid address, indulged, as expected, in his customary mud-slinging campaign. John J. Caplis, in introducing George Bourquin, referred to the manner in which the Butte Miner handled stories of the bootlegging clean-up here. He stated: "The Butte Miner company in a campaign of calumny befouled the name of Butte as a crime-ridden community to discredit the present administration, both city and county, in order that the cause of consolidation might be furthered." Judge Lynch was the first speaker on the program. He characterized the merger measure as an infamous piece of legislation. He was followed by George Bourquin, who discussed the number of officers who might be installed under the provisions of the bill. Mr. Duggan was the third officeholder to speak. # PLAYGROUND EXPERT WILL ASSIST BUTTE W. C.

The plan of organization includes outdoor facilities for the young and old.
