ARRANGED FOR BUSY READERS Brief Notes Covering Happenings In This Country and Abroad That Are of Legitimate interest to All the People. Women are now doing the work of motormen in the Berlin street cars. Fire destroyed the Capitol avenue theater at Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 18. The FrenCh Cable company an- nounce that its land wires were down between Paris and Brest, and that all cable messages must be forwarded to the coast by train. Chicago suffragists have learned that Attorney General P. J. Lucy has decided that Illinois women have no right to vote for delegates to presi- dential conventions. Cable messages of congratulation to President Wilson were sent Saturday, the presidents' wedding day, by Em- peror Yoshihito and Baron Ishii, the foreign minister at Tokio. Four hundred employes at the West- inghouse company plant at Spring- field, Mass., struck Saturday for in- creased wages, union recognition and reinstatement of a union shop steward who has been discharged. Reports from the section about Meri- dian, Miss., swept by a severe wind- storm recently, indicated that more than 50 persons were injured, but that there were no deaths except at Giles, Miss., where four negroes were killed. Five directors of the National City bank of Cambridge, Mass., which was wrecked in 1909 by George M. Cole- man, bookkeeper, were found guilty of negligence in connection with the fail- ure in the federal court. Under this ruling depositors will recover approx- imately $265,000. Moult Etna, near Catania, Sicily, is active again and is emitting redhot la- va which, streaming along the sides of the mountain and melting the snow, produces a wonderful effect, especially at night. In addition glowing cinders and smoke form an umbrella -shaped cloud above the volcano. CLAIM TO POSSESS CLUES TO MONSTER PLOTS Our Federal Official's Assert Evidence of Nation -Wide Conspiracy in Munition Plants. New York.—With the arraignment here Saturday -of ---Paul Koenig, said to be the head of the German secret ser- vice in this country, and Richard Emil Leyendecker, a New York art goods dealer, on a charge of conspiring to blow up the Welland canal federal of- ficials asserted they had in their hands the clues to a countrywide conspiracy to blow up munition plants which has already resulted in the loss of many lives and destruction of millions of dol- lars in property. Koenig Was Detective Head. For several years Koenig has been the head of a detective force employ- ed here by the Hamburg -American Steamship company. The company, which is subsidized by the German government, was quick - to come to his aid, and through a local surety con- cern supplied $50,000 bail for him and $30,000 bail for Leyendecker. The arrest of Koenig and Leyen- decker was coincident with the arrest by county attorneys of Frederick Scheindl, a clerk in the National City bank. Seheindl, detectives claimed, confessed that he was employed by Koenig to supply him with informa- tion regarding the shipment of mu- nitions to the allies. Scheindl was arraigned before a po- lice magistrate on an affidavit charg- ing him with suspicion in the larceny of documents and messages valued at $100,000 from the National City bank, He was held in $25,000 bail. Baseball War Ended. • Chicago.—Confident that the base- ball war is practically at an end, with only minor matters easy of adjustment to be arranged, leaders of the fight left Tuesday to attend the peace meet- ing at Cincinnati tomorrow. In the party were President Johnson, Charles Weeghrnan and President Chivington of the American association. Each said peace was assured. Steamer Minnesota in Port. San Francisco.—Grease, dirt and much scale found in the boiler tubes of the Great Northern steamship Min- nesota were responsible for the ves- sel's recent breakdown off California coast, federal inspectors working on the case now say.- The examination continues. Ley Materisis any. St. Louis, Mo.—The manufacture of artificial legs for shipment to the Eu- ropean pelligerents has been delayed by the scarcity of willow wood. Ahrays try to remember that when rots are kicking you are standing still. The number of stationarf Use in Montana_la_declining, owing to the increasing use of electric and air engines, w-ile traction engines are coming more into widespread use. In Saturday's issue of the Butte So- cialist the editor, former Mayor Lewis J. Duncan, announced- the suspension of the publication. Just five years ago the first issue of the Butte Social- ist was published. In a recent interview John D. Ryan, president of the Anaconda Copper Co., stated that the Montana Power com- pany, a subsidiary of the Anaconda corporation, was furnishing heat, light and power cheaper than any energy producing concern in the U. S. John Potter, whose death at Los An- geles was reported recently, was one of the real pioneers of the state. His early life was spent in trail blazing and his activities led him to some de- gree across the continent from the At- lantic to the Pacific. Mr. Potter came west in 1862. He was postmaster at Helena in 1865. A parent -teacher association was or- ganized at Deer Lodge last week. 0. D. Speer, superintendent of the city schools, and the teachers have been active in making plans, and Mrs. Brockaway - of Butte, president of the state organization, was present and made a talk concerning the benefits that accrue to a community where the interests of parent and teacher work in unison. Recent fatal grade -crossing acci- dents in the state have had the effect of inducing the state highway commis- sion to launch a safety -first campaign with the object of reducing the num- ber of such accidents. The killing of several children in Sheridan county recently and the death of an autotruck driver at Helena Saturday as the re- sult of grade crossing collisions are the immediate causes of launching the campaign. The Northern Pacific railroad will transport from Butte to Bozeman free of charge the two large boilers which were recently given to the college by the Anaconda Copper Mining com- pany. These boilers are of enormous capacity and would, if installed at the college, generate sufficient steam to heat the entire group of buildings on the campus. The boilers will be moved to Bozeman during the holidays, and are to be the property of the engineer- ing department. Louis Dorian, arraigned at Kalispell, Saturday, in the district court on a charge of first -degree assault, was given an indeterminate sentence 44 from_seyen to 1.0 year' a rancher, age about 40, became in- fatpated with Miss Eva Bosquet, and in a fit of jealous rage attempted to kill her and himself. Miss Bosquet, severely wounded, is still in the hos- pital, but will recover. Dorian, though suffering from a wound in the breast, was sufficiently recovered to be taken to the penitentiary. In his report of fatal accidents in the mines of Montana for the year 1915, Deputy State Mine Inspector Mc- Grath records the death of 39 men un- derground. This does not include the deaths due to the explosion of powder on the surface at the North Butte property, where 16 men lost their lives in October. There were 25 accidents of a serious but not fatal nature. Dur- ing the year Deputy McGrath inspect- ed 176 miles, where 15,000 men were working underground and the per- centage of fatal accidents to each 1000 men employed was 2.60 per cent, and the percentage of non -fatal accidents was 1.66. With the payment of the November dividend of $1 per share, or $2,331,250, making the grand total $100,131,039, the Anaconda Copper company, with mines in different parts of Montana and smelters at Anaconda and Great Falls, takes second rank for total dis- bursements among the copper corpo- rations of the United States. It began profit distribution in 1905 and since then has appationed $25 per share to its stockholders. The only other cop- per mining company that excels this record is the Calumet & hecia, in Michigan, a much older corporation, which his distributed $127,750,000 to date. This concern this year has paid $5,000,000 in dividends, while the An- aconda company has paid $7,000,000. 11 A a I: I.• I • t il t2 n . g - e b !M i . • ed ri ency to Charles Conture, convicted at 5 tO - inritaar -1— fts. offloialiv.,bLt many. naninbers. 3 if 31:4(1 Y tt .

The quantity of foodstuffs sent by the United States to feed the rest of the world during the first 10 months this year was more than double that in the same period of 1914. Statistics of the department of com- merce show the value of foodstuffs ex- ported during the 10 months was al- most $679,000,000, compared with $318,000,000 last year. Three hundred and ten million bushels of 4heat, corn and oats; 12,- 448,000 barrels of flour, 420,000,000 pounds of bacon, 372,000,000 pounds of lard, 227,000,000 pounds of hams and sheulders, 218,000,000 pounds of fresh beef, 63,000,000 pounds of canned beef, 37,000,000 pounds of pickled beef, 56,- 000,000 pounds of pork, pickled. etc.: 53,C,00 pinatas or lard compounds, 2,- 000,000 pounds of neutral lard and 87,000,000 pounds of oleo oil were sent abroad in the 10 months.

INGTON SOCIETY, IS THE -BRIDE. CEREMONY AT EVENING TIME Episcopal Service Used—Only Thirty Guests Present, Most All Relatives —Honeymoon at Hot Springs— Were Few Presents. Washington.—President Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt were married here at 8:30 o'clock Sat- urday night with a simple ceremony spoken in the bride's home in the presence of less than 30 guests, virtu- ally all of whom were relatives. They left at 11:10 o'clock for a two weeks' honeymoon at Hot Springs, Va. They traveled in a private car attached to a special train. To avoid the crowds the couple took their car at Alexandria, a suburb, 10 miles away. A Home Wedding. A cold, driving rain which swept the city all day cleared off at sunset, and the evening was cool and pleasant. Everything was in readiness for the ceremony when the president arrived, and it proceeded, without music. Neith- er the president nor Mrs. Galt had any attendants, and there were no ushers or flower girls. The occasion was essentially what both of the cou- ple had wished it to be—a home wed- ding. The Decorations. On the first floor of the bride's home, in two communicating rooms, a wedding bower had been arranged with a background of farbyanse and maidenhair ferns which extended from the floor to the ceiling. American beauty roses were on both sides of the canopy, beneath which was a prayer rug on which President Wilson and Mrs. Galt knelt during the ceremony. The Ceremony. Just at the hour for the ceremony the president and his bride appeared at the head of the staircase. They de- scended to the lower floor, where the guests were grouped about informally. The Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, rec- tor of St. Margaret's Protestant Epis- copal church, of which the bride is a communicaat, was waiting beneath the canopy to perform the ceremony, and with him to assist was the president's pastor, the Rev. James H. Taylor of the Central Presbyterian church. — 15fre: - William HTBolfing, the bride's mother, gave her away. The president stood to the right of the clergymen and the bride stood on their left. At once Dr. Smith began the words of the Episcopal marriage service, the presi- dent making his responses first and then the bride making hers. After the bride promised to \love cherish and obey,\ the president placed the wed- ding ring, a plain band of gold, upon her finger and then, after a prayer, and while the couple clasped their right hands together, Dr. Smith de- clared them man and wife. The brief and simple ceremony was over. Bride Cuts the Cake. The - entire party then turned to the dining room, where a buffet supper was served. The tables were decorated with Lady Stanley rose blossoms. On a table in the center was the wedding cake, a fruit cake of several layers high, or- namented with sprays of pink orchids in the center. Mrs. Wilson cut the cake without formality and no arrange- ment was made for bestowing bits of it on others than those in the wedding party. Woodrow Wilson is the third presi- dent to be married during his term of office. President Tyler was the first and President Cleveland the other. Mr. Tyler, like Mr. Wilson, was left a widower during his term. Two years later, in 1844, in New York city, he was married to Miss Julia Gardiner, who then presided at the White House functions during the last year of her husband's term of office. Grover Cleveland's marriage to Miss Frances Folsom took place in the blue room of the executive mansion. It was comparatively a private affair, for the invited guests included only the cabi- net members, their wives and a few friends and relatives of the couple. President Wilson's wedding is the third in his family since he took of- fice. The first White House wedding of his term was that of his second daughter, Jessie Woodrow Wilson, to Francis Bowes Sayre, and the other was that of his youngest daughter, Eleanor, to Secretary McAdoo. The president now has two grandchildren, the little son of the Sayres and the baby daughter of the McAdoos. Both Are Virginians. The president and his bride both are Virginians by birth. He was born at Staunton 59 years ago this month and she was born at Wythe- ville, 43 years ago, the daughter of Judge and Mrs. William H. Bolling, and was one of a large family. NEXT NOTE TO AUSTRIA REITERATES OUR DEMANDS Diplomat Intimates to Lansing That if Opportunity is Given Reply May Be Satisfactory to U. S. Washington.—President Wilson late Saturday completed the first draft of 4.the new note to Austria-Hungary reit- erating the American demands regard- ing the sinking of the Italian steam- ship Ancona. The document was de- livered to Secretary Lansing and ca- bled to Ambassador Penfield for pre- sentation to the Vienna foreign office. The draft was completed after Sec- retary Lansing had sent the president a memorandum containing all of the state department's information on the Ancona disaster, and after Baron E. Zwiedinek, charge of the Austro-Hun- garian embassy here, had conferred at some length with the secretary. It was authoritatively stated that the charge strongly intimated to Mr. *Lansing that should the second note be couched in less vigorous terms, and him.,tile Vien_ha ioraiga officp• such. an opportunity, the reply might be wholly satisfactory to the United States. A satisfactory reply would have to contain disavowal, assurances of reparation by payment of indemnity for the Americans killed and injured in the disaster, and some acceptable statement concerning punishment for the commander of the sebmarine which sank the vessel. The official text of the Austrian re- ply to the American note, given out at Washington, reveals that Austria denied that the facts in case as pre- sented by the United States, even if correct, warranted any blame for the disaster being placed upon the com- mander of the Austrian submarine which destroyed the Ancona. The United States, it was said, will reiterate in the new note that such a position is opposed to all rules of recognized international law. The Bride's Attire. During the ceremony and at the luncheon afterward, during which a string orchestra played, the bride wore her traveling dress, a black silk velvet gown, with a picture hat of black beaver, with no trimmings whatever except one feather slightly upturned on the left side. At her throat she wore the president's wedding gift, a magnificent diamond brooch. The skirt of her gown was of walk- ing length and cut on full lines. The waist had silken embroidery of blue, shading from the deep tones of royal blue to delicate shades of pastel and was threaded with silver. The lower part of the waist was em- broidered on black net over a band of silver in the design of lilies, below which was a girdle of black velvet. The sleeves of the gown were of black net fashioned in tiny tucks with long bell -shaped cuffs of embroidered vel- vet which came well down over the hand. Her collar, which was high and upstanding, was of black lace. When she left on her honeymoon journey, Mrs. Wilson wore over her gown a fur coat and muff to match. All the men in the party wore con- ventioual evening dress. Mrs. Wilson's Trousseau. Mrs. Wilson's trousseau is said by k.ivat, wends to be magnificent in its extent. Most of it is American made and the best shops in the United States were called upon to supply what the bride's friends say is among the largest and most carefully selected wardrobes ever gathered by any mis- tress of the Wiiite House. Upstairs in the bride's house one GERMANY MAKES DENIALS. Statement Declares Not Linked With Any Plan tee Promote Cause. The New York Times has received the following authorized statement by wireless from Berlin: \The German government naturally has never knowingly accepted the sup- port of any person, group of persons, society or organization seeking to pro- mote the cause of Germany in the United States by illegal acts, by coun- sels of violence, by contravention of law or by any means whatever that could offend the American people in the pride of their own authority. \If it should be alleged that itia- proper acts have been committed by representatives of the German govern- ment they could be easily dealt with. To any complaints upon proof as may be submitted by the American govern- ment suitable response will be duly made. Pardoned, Freed, Died. Sausalito, Cal.—Executive clemency won in a race with death at San Quentin penitentiary Saturday, and as a result Thomas Conwell, a victim of tuberculosis who had served five years of a 50 -year sentence for burglary, was permitted to die outside the prison walls. When the ambulance reached the Sausalito pier, however, the at- tendants descovered that Conwell was dead. Texas Girl Found With Throat Cut. Paris, Texas.—Pauline Walton, 17 years old, was found dead in bed at her home here Saturday with her throat cut. No clue. Year's Sport Decord. Hunting -62 killed. Football -16 killed.

London.—The announcement of the British withdrawal from Gallipoli over- shadowed all other war news Tuesday. For the British public the abrupt war office statement marks the end of a great chapter of the war's history. The shock of the enws was hardly broken b ythe fact that rumors had been current in the street for some days and the withdrawal of the forces had been a matter of widespread pro and con discussion ever since Lord Ribbesdale's famous speech in parlia- ment in which he declared that the withdrawal had been recommended by a high military authority. Brings Feeling of Relief. The feeling of the man in the street was generally one of relief mixed with regret. A popular half -penny paper sums up the British public's attitude as follows: \Thus ends the enterprise on which the highest hopes were built and which, if it had succeeded, would prob- ably have turned the tide of the war. Our troops from the first to the last were within a few miles of victory.\ The policy underlying the . Darda- nelles expedition may yet be carried to a successful issue in some other quarter of the near east, but the pros- pect of forcing a way to Constanti- nople through the famous straits is ap- parently relinquished. British Keep Seddul Bahr. British troops continue to occupy the tip of the peninsula at Seddul Bahr, commanding the entrance to the straits, where many British have de- clared a new Gibraltar will some day rise. The position there is protected by a double line of ships and it is as- sumed this will be held. The war office statement leaves the public to draw its own conclusions as to the destination of the Australasian and united kingdom forces, which must be well over 100,000 strong. It is widely conjectured, however, that any southward sweep of the Teutonic or Bulgarian armies in the Balkans, whether from the north, west or east, - will 'set:Mb? 'of - Tater come — ii — entac with them, and that the transfer is connected with a determination on the part of the entente powers not to re- main on the defensive in the near eastern theater of war longer than is requisite to assure the success of a forward march.

After several weeks of conferences, baseball ,officials admit that peace be- tween the Federal league and organ- ized baseball is far from being con- summated. Marius De Brabant, general eastern agent of the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad company, says there is no doubt of Jim Coffroth's race track at Tia Juana, Mexico, 12 miles from San Diego, opening. Mr. De Brabant says the gates will be thrown -wide on January 1 for 90 days of racing. GRAIN GROWERS TO MEET. Tenth Annual Convention at Pullman Jan. 4-6. Pullman, Wash.—Professor E. G.

ONE WIFE KILLS ANOTHER IN AN OREGON FEUD Two Dodd Hollow Families Clash on Ownership of Property. Klamath Falls, Ore.—A feud of long standing over the ownership of prop- erty occupied by contending claimants blazed out into a pitched battle with rifles, shotguns and . pistols between two families at Dodd Hollow, 25 miles southeast of here, Monday. On one side Mrs. Alma Kuehne is dead. On the other Guy Hunter is at the Blackburn hospital here with a bullet wound through his arm. Hunt- er's wife, A. Ernest Lawrence and An- drew Kuehne, son of the dead woman, are held pending investigation. The affray is said to be the after- math of Lawrence's trial last week on arson charges, in which the jury dis- agreed. There are two houses on the disputed property, a large one, occu- pied by Lawrence and the Hunter fam- ily, and the small one, into which the Kuehnes moved last week while Law- rence was on trial. The Hunters al- lege the Kuehnea cut off the water sup- ply of the big house, necessitating wa- ter being hauled from a distance. AVERS JAPANESE ARE GUARDING SUEZ CANAL Former Official of Egygt Tells of the Effort to Prevent Loss of the Waterway. That Japan is giving material aid to the entente allies in the European war, not only by supplying munitions, but by actually guarding the Suez ca- nal with her warships, was stated at Los Angeles Monday by A. M. Papa- jian Bey, former minister of the inte- rior in Egypt. The Suez canal also has been strongly fortified since the war began, he said. Greek Frontier Quiet. London.—A dispatch to Reuter's Tel- egram company from Saloniki states that the entente allies' fronts are al- most stationary.• The Bulgarians show no disposition to invade Greek terri- tory, and there are no signs of Aug- tro-German activity. Increased marketing of hogs and a falling off in sheep and cattle is in- dicated in the record of Portland re- ceipts up to last week, when the to- tal of hogs reached 232,177, as against 196,589 a year ago; cattle, 68,308, compared with 71,104, and sheep 181,- 012, against 166,149 in 1914, Railroad Earnings Big. With the monthly earnings state- ment of the Great Northern for Octo- ber, issued last week, showing the largest gross earnings in any one month in the history of the company, came a preliminary statement show- ing November to have been the most prosperous November in the history of the company. Incidentally, the October statement shows the first increase in gross since October, 1913, which has gone down in Great Northern )ilstory as a $9,000,- 000 month. This October exceeded that of 1913 by a large margin, how- ever, showing gross earnings of $8,- 985,000 as compared with $8,922,000 two years ago. Operating income for October was $730,000 ahead of that of October, 1914. For the fiscal year thus far, operat- ing income still is $698,443 behind, but this loss is rapidly being eliminated and the showing for the entire fiscal year should be far ahead of that of the pfeceding year. • General Trade Condition& Dun's Review says: There is no longer complaint of deferred buying, but of difficulty in meeting the steadi- ly -expanding requirements. Consumpt- ive demand exceeds supply in some lines, and distributing channels_ are obstructed by the congestion of freight, rail and oversee shipping fa- cilities still being inadequate to cope with the rush of traffic. This tends to act as a brake on commercial progress, but the forward movement has not perceptibly slack- ened, either in domestic or foreign coilmerce. On the contrary, exports, in spite of the shortage of vessels and other obstacles, continue in notably heavy volume, while internal trade is further swelled as the holiday season approaches. Development of Christ- mas business fulfils the most optimis- tic expectations. Weekly bank clear- ings, $3,831,001,52,;. France Gives U. S. Blg Order. Baltimore.—An order from the French government for steel rails and fittings at an estimated value in excess of $2,500,000 has been received by a local steel company. Forbes -Robertson Coming.
