GENERAL REYES
REFUSES TO
GOSSIP
Colombian Official Is on
Way to Washington
to Make Protest,
COLOMBIA IS DEFIANT
Will Not Allow France to
Sell the Canal to the
United States.
DY ASSOCIATED IPRIiS.t.
New Orleans, La., Nov. -6.-General
Ruiz Reyes, representing the government
of Colombia. who is on his way to Wash
ington to intercede in favor of his gov
ernment in connection with the recognition
of the republic of Panama, arrived here
today on the steamer Beverly. lie leaves
for Washington tonight.
General Rcycs is accompanied by Gen.
Prelio Aspinal, Gen. Gtorge lIohluin and
Gen. L. Carb,-lloce. They boarded the
lieverly at Port nimon and came direct to
this city. General Reyes and party did
not go to auiy of the hotels, but bought
tickets throug:.t to New York and made
every effort to avoid puhl;city.
The general had a natchel full of Co
lotrbian gold and pail for the tickets in
the coin of that repulblic.
General Reyes speaks Eingl:h perfectly.
but declined to be interviewed. lie said
to the Associated Press:
"We do not wish to be quoted at this
time. Our mission is a private one and
until we have reached Washington and
discharged it we do not care to discuss it."
Bogota, Nov. 26.-The Colombian gov
ernment has notified the Panama Canal
company of Paris that it will not allow it
to transfer its privileges to the United
States and that in case the consescion ex
pires the privilege must bIlong to Co
lombia. It is also stated that the Isth
mians have always enjoyed the most am
ple guarantees, and never have been iin
any way disturbed.
The foregoing dispatch is considered on
the isthmus as mere Colombian bravado.
It is not lrlierverl her. that the Frc5,cti
government would countenance these prc
tentions on the part of Colombia.
JOHN MACGINNISS
IS COMING BACK
WHEN FRITZ SEES HIM THERE WILL
BE SOMETHING DOING IN THE
LINE OF EXPLETIVES.
There is an air of expectancy and sub
dued excitement about the Butte hotel.
Tom Hinds paces the rotunda anxiously
as the hours when trains from the East
are expected.
John MacGinniss is coming back l
He may be here today; it may not he
until tomorrow. There is secrecy about
everything except that Johnny is on the
road.
Whether or not he brings his automatic,
self-adjusting interview with him is not
made public. Perhaps he leaves it in the
East rather than bring it back to be sub
mitted to the calcining process in the
Silver Bow block.
Important Details.
Those who have seen Johnny in the
East recently, say that in Chicago he
had his hair cut and bought a new over
coat, the which have materially changed
the appearance of the author of that
famous bit of fiction, "The Autobiography
of John MacGinniss," in the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
No longer does the MacGinniss hair
stick out behind like the caboose behind
a freight train. It clings closer, but still
retains some of its Edwin Booth roll. And
then the overcoat l It is a dream. The
one of last winter with which Mac
Ginniss dazzled the feminine eyes at Iel
ena is not one-two-three with this one.
Wait for it. It is comning.
Johnny will remain in Butte a day or
two before going to Helena to discharge
his legislative duties. Indications are they
will not be altogether pleasant days. Fitz
Augustus has things to say to MacGinniss
about his interview habit that will sound
harsh and utnfeeling.
He is an Unpleasant Man.
Your Uncle Fritz when angered--and he
is angered now-is said to use language
by the cord and to be absolutely brutal in
his slinging of phrases.
When the MacGinniss spirit has been
suitably chastened its owner will take it
and the overcoat and the hair cut to
Helena.
Another wandering ittumber of the Silver
Bow delegation is hack. Guy Stapleton
has returned from Pittsburg. He came
hurriedly, lleinze needed him, Guy is
a lawyer, and legal talent is woefully
lacking in the Silver Bow bunch.
Charles W. Dempster wore a wide-eyed
look of anxiety this morning. His appli
cation for leave of absence from the city's
employ to go to Helena and legislate did
not reach action by the council last night
bIecause there was no council meeting.
Will Mayor Mullins manage to get a
council meeting Friday night for the pur
pose? Echo answers: Will he?
And Mayor Mullins himself-will he
leave town long enough to even answer a
roll call at Helena, or does he fear the
solid eleven too much to take even that
short leave? Just hear the echo to that
query come reverberating from, the Irmpos
ing walls of the Butte hotel.
BUTTE AND STATE
OBSERVE THE DAY
MONTANA AND ITS GREATEST CAMP
HAS MUCH TO BE THANKFUL
FOR ON THIS DAY.
SO IT IS DULY MARKED
Religious Services in All the Churches
With Union Meeting by Majority
of the Protestant Sects.
The lobbies of the hotels, the railroad
offices, the postolhice, the public library
and other public places where men do getn
erally congregate presented the usual holi
clay appllearntce today. As a general rule
that portion of the traveling public who
can get home for Tllanksgiving day try
to do so, and today was no exception to
the rule.
Some traveling men, however, always
find it imposvileh to eat T"hanksgiving din
ner at home and they have to rely on the
hospitality of their hotel.
All of the hotels and rerstaurants of
Ilutte prepared extra dinners for their
guests today. Turkey and cranberry
sauce were, of course, the prevaililng
dishes. with the usual side trimmings,
winding up with pudding or old-fashioned
pumpkin pie. Regardless of reports to
the contrary about the scarcity of turkeys,
the natioual bird was very much in evi
dence today.
Many thousat:ls of pounds were shipped
into Butte in the past few days, and all
of the local eating establishnutnts were
liberally supplied.
Few Montana Birds.
The turkeys came fromt Nebraska, Iowa
and Missouri chiefly. Some were shipped
in cold storage and others without any
ice. Net a few Utah turkeys were served
in Ilutte today. As they were not shipped
as far their quality was tpronounced su
perior to those that came farther. Mon
tuna turkeys were rarely to be found.
Chickens. geese and other fowl were also
served, while oysters from the Atlantic
and the Pacific were in evidence.
T'he railroad offices were opened for a
timle ii' the aftcrlnoon upton tile regular
Sunday schedule. There was little to do,
as few peop!e warted to travel today.
All of the courts and other public offices
were closed during the nltire day. The
postoflice opened the gelneral delivery win
dow at 1t :45 a. n1. and closed at I p. tl.,
while two collections of mnail will be madce
between 5:3o and 8:3o p. in. The public
library was closed for the entire day.
The nuttmerous forms of outdoor amtuse
Iment in the shape of football, skating and
the like helped to make the day up to the
regulation Thanksgiving order. Private
dinner parties were very numerous and
about almost every family board were
gathered along with tile family one or two
invited guests.
Thanksgiving Day Weather.
"The high barometer continues, indicat
ing the day will be pleasant after the
smoke gets out of the way," said J. R.
Wharton, the weather man. "We did not
receive ally report fromt Washington today
on account of this being a holiday, but you
can say that the clear, cool weatiher will
conltinue."
The smoke was very much in evidence
this morning, continuing until noon.
Visitors at the local hotels were loud in
their complaint of the smoke, but the genuc
ine smoke-eaters went along the even
tenor of their way and raised no comt
plaint.
Usual Raffles.
Turkey raffles were pulled off at a num
her of places last night, and the elusive
birds frequently changed hands. At one
ilace on Park street it is said that the
patrons got a poor run for their money.
Chances were sold on birds, thie numbers
running from I to -5. A revolving wheel
upon which were the numlers was sup
posed to name the winner, but it is re
ported that there were few winners, as
the wheel had a peculiar habit of never
stopping opposite a number held by a
ticket owner.
Either through ignorance of the game or
because of too much Thanksgiving en
thusiasm the dupes of the game never
seemed to tumble.
WITH ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
Many a Poor Home Brightened Today by
Workers in the Society.
Many a home has been brightened with
Thanksgiving cheer by the wise generosity
of the Associated Charities and most gen
erous contributions of big-hearted people
in the city. Children will Ie made happy
by having their hun.ger appeased and pa
rents can smile while the little folks enjoy
the good substantial dinners sent them by
their friends. In the work of distribution
of dinners on this day the Associated
Charities deserve great credit. This or
ganization has expended the money placed
under its charge with so much discretion
that it has won the confidence of the
publlic.
One thing to be noted is that the com
mittee on investigation has never made
itself obnoxious as is so often the case
in other cities. When a report is sent in
telling of some family in distress, help is
sent in a limited way; then a member of
the association goes to see in what need
the family is before other steps are taken.
Cases of Dire Distress.
Some cases of dreadful distress are re
ported, not infrequently a housefull of
children with not one edible thing in the
house and the clothes covering their
bodies mere rags; yet the parents are away
seeking drink, or lying in a drunken
stupor in the miserable hovel called
"home." Again it is some widow who
has been ill and the children too small
to earn a loaf of bread or even to care
for the sick mother. Some cases have
been reported where the father is left
with a nest full of little ones and no
mother to care for them. This is usually
the most helpless of cases, as the father
is compelled to be away seeking work or
doing odd jobs here and there while the
children run wild or seek the backyards of
neighbors trying to appease a youngster's
naturally ravenous appetite.
Here is where the motherly spirit of
the good women who are in charge of the
Associated Charities come to the rescue

FRESHMEN PROVE
TO BE VERY EASY
DEFEATED BY SCHOOL OF MINES
SOPHOMORES BY 6 TO 0 IN
A ONE-SIDED GAME.
PICK OUT THE WEAK SPCr
Sophs Pound Freshies' Line Like a Bet
tering Ram and the Result Is
Never in Much Doubt.
The fresh~lltntl of ithe School of Mines
wentt downl to defeat befolre the sopho
ttores this tourning by a score of six to
nothing.
At lno tiilne during the gamei was the rc
sutilt in doubt, and it took the spllhs just I
minutes in the first half to get a touch
down with two miilltUtes to play.
Kane kicked offtT for the siphs, hnd then
followed a series of snappy plays in wlhich
Il aninond, left halfback, took anly way
from two to five yards on every play.
Run Aroud Left End.
The sophs soon discovered the fresh
mentl's wtak spots and poumtded the line
like a battering rant. After iS minute:,'
play Ilammond got the hall fur a runt
around left end for alout .5 yards and
scored the totlchdlown without interference.
Kante tlhen kcked a goal.
In the second half Kyle, for the fresh
meIlln, got the ball for a long rttn around
right end, uittt was downed by HItiIIIIond.
Brinton tried a series of line bucks against
the solphs. but although successful in get
ting through, the latter's interference pre'
vented any perceptible gain. Kyle tried
several tilmes to go arounlld the end, but
failing, fell back to line bucking.
The game etnded with the hall in fresh
man territory.
The Line-Up.
The line-up was as follows:
Freshmcen-Patton, center; llovett, right
guard ; )stner, right tackle ; McLaughlin,
right end; Schifflner. left guard; Clinge,

ganl, right endl; Bowden, left guard; Fai
nant, left tackle ; titiles, left end; Johns,
quarterhack; flainniond, left halflback;
Wartiltl, right halfback; Kane, fullback.
One of the features of the game was tahl
punting by Kane. although the play did not
net much in gains owilng to the failure tp
break through.
\Vartield was knocked out twice, ant

IT MAY BE MURDER
REMAINS OF CHARLES KUYKENDALL
FOUND UNDER SUSPICIOUS
CIRCUMSTANCES.
sit:, IA4 . n TO 'Ti IN'1II.It M1I4 NIAIN,
Mlissoltlal, Nov. .6.--The body of (Charlcs
Kuykendaltl, a well-known rancher, was
found in the Clark's Fork river, about
four miles cast of ly, yy, yesuerday, under
circumistanlces which somie take to iildi
cate foul plly, and others think inuus
a peculiar accident. Kuykendall's ranch
is inear to where the body was foundl. It
is near the river. The cabin inl which lie
lived was found to have been burned to
the ground, with all its contents.
The barn near by was lot damiiagedl.
The appearaince of the lacly would make it
appear that Kuykendall Ihad been dclnad
1about a week. There were no shoes on the
body.
Opiuions differ as to how lie mnet his
death. One theory is that he was Illur
deredl and his cabii butrned uifter bciitg
robbed, anid that the body was then throwi
into the river near the place. Another
theory which finds more bIelievers is that
his cabin caught fire and that hlie escaped
froii it partly dtcressed 1and runl to the
river with the idiea of getting water to
extinguish the fire with: that in the dartk
ness he iimay have fallen in and I:cn
dlrowned, or that in the extreme cold that
plrevailed about a week ago he was over
conme and perished.
Coroner Long has gone to the scene and
will not tle back .until this evenilng.
