CONFEREES
DO NOT AGREE
Situation Unchanged in the
Great Steel Strike
ULTIMATUM IS GIVEN
To the Amalgamated Co.'s Representa
tive by Morgan and
Schwab.
By Associated Press:
New York, Aug. 3.—The steel strike
conference held today failed to ar
rive at an agreement. The proposals
made by J. P. Morgan and Charles M.
Schwab through President Shaffer and
Secretary Williams, of the Amalgam
ated association a week ago are still
open, but the strikers' representatives
show no inclination to accept them.
The representatives of the strikers left
the conference with an announcement
that they would go into secret ses
sion themselves later in the after
noon. It was admitted there might be
action taken at that meeting which
would change the situation. At the
conference this morning Morgan and
Schwab insisted upon the acceptance
of the terms offered by them on Sat
urday last. President Shaffer and his
associates demanded further conces
sions in behalf of the union. Neither
side would give in and the conferees
disagreed and parted, leaving the sit
uation practically unchanged.
President Reid of the American Tin
Plate company was quoted as saying
that the executive board of the Amal
gamated association had until 4
o'clock this afternoon to acept the only
proposition made to them by J. P.
Morgan, namely, to return to work
at last year's scale.
After the labor leaders went into
secret session the statement was giv
en out by one of their number that the
proposition made by the United States
Steel corporation would not be ac
cepted and that there would be no
further conference between that cor
poration and the Amalgamated asso
ciation unless it should be asked for
by the former.

HUNTING SEASON OPENS.
Warden Scott Discusses the State
Game Laws for the Information
of Sportsmen.
As the open season for game and
aquatic fowl and big game approach
es, State Game Warden Scott receiv
es many inquiries daily as to the law
upon different classes of game, says
the Record. The last legislature made
a number of changes in the law, with
the result that many people are in
doubt as to the seasons as they exist
under the new law. Mr. Scott replies
to all inquiries and mails a copy of
the game laws to all who are inter
ested.
The open season for sage hens
opened August 1 and continues until
December 1," said Mr. Scott today.
The last legislature placed turtle
doves on the game list and the sea
son is identical with that allowed for
the killing of sage hens. No person
will, however, be allowed to kill more
than 20 of either variety in a single
day.
"The impression is abroad that there
is a closed season on fish. The Mon
tana laws permit the catching of fish
at all times of the year, but it must
be with a hook and line. Seining is
prohibited as well as dynamiting. The
use of dams or grab hooks is prohibit
ed and a heavy penalty is named for
the violation of the law in this re
spect.
"There is a provision, however,
which permits the use of seines or
catch nets in the Missouri river below
Great Falls and in the Yellowstone
river below Big Horn, but the nets
must not have a mesh of less than
two inches square. The sale of game
and mountain trout is prohibited ex
cept in the case of the latter when
caught in private ponds.
"Our open season for geese, ducks,
and brant commences one month from
today and continues until May 1,

BIGFORK PRONGS.
The summer work at the biological
station will be brought to a close
August 16th, when Profs. MacDougal,
Ricker and Elrod will proceed to Den
ver to attend the annual meeting of
the American association for the ad
vancement of science.
Prof. MacDougal, the botanist, has
collected over 800 specimens, a large
percentage of them hitherto undescrib
ed. The collection when properly
mounted will prove most valuable.
Prof. MacDougal has made selections
in duplicate, one set for the University
of Montana and the other for the New
York Botanical garden. William P.
Harris is carrying on work of the
same nature, making collections of
lichens.
Prof. P. M. Silloway has added a
number of new species to the list of
birds found in the western part of the
state. Among them are the red-throat
ed diver, the long-tailed chat and the
Bartramian sandpiper. The last nam
ed is considered extremely rare west
of the Rocky mountains. A report of
Prof. Silloway's work will appear in
his bulletin on the ornithology of the
support of the motion they today pre
sented affidavits charging Judge
Harney with drunkenness while on the
bench and with being influenced in
his decision by illicit relations with
Mrs. Ada H. Brackett, who is alleged
to bo the paid agent of Hcinze, and
who sought by the blandishments of
her sox to influence Harney in his de
cisions. The affidavits specify nu
merous meetings between Harney and
the Brackett woman, and also set
forth identical letters that passed be
tween the judge and the woman, in
which Mrs. Brackett plainly sought to
bias the judge's decision.
next year. Grouse, prairie chicken,
fool hen, pheasant or partridge may
be killed from September 1 to Decem
ber 1. There is also a prohibition
clause which restricts the killing to
20 in a single day by one hunter.
"The now law permits the killing of
deer and rocky mountain goat from
September 1 to January 1, but only
six can be killed by one person. Male
elk can be killed from September 1 to
November 1.
"Non-residents who take advantage
of our open season on game will be
obliged to take out a license this
year. For large game the license is
$25, while the non-resident hunters'
license for small or feathered game
is $15. The licenses are not transfer
able and one will not cover both class
es of game.
"A section of the law which I re
gard of great importance is that re
quiring the construction of fishways
over all dams. In many cases these
dams have been built, but notice has
been served on all who have not com
plied with the law and I expect within
a very short time the fish in all the
streams of Montana will be protected
in this way.
"One of the most important features
of the law is that which makes all
game shipped into Montana that is
killed in other states subject to the
same laws that obtain in this state. In
the past game has been sold and it
has been difficult to prosecute offen
ders as they would put up the plea
that the game was killed elsewhere.
The new law prohibits this in a very
effectual way.
"There are a number of birds and
animals that are on the prohibited list
that cannot be killed at any time of
the year. They are: Moose, bison,
caribou, buffalo, quail, Chinese pheas
ant, mountain sheep, antelope, female
elk, beaver, meadow lark, blue bird,
thrush oriole, woodpecker, mocking
bird, goldfinch, snow bird, cedar bird,
stork and all singing birds."

Prof. Maurice Ricker of Burlington,

Is Not All It Was at First Supposed to Be.
United States Revenue Cutter
to Investigate.
By Associated Press:
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 3.—Ugly sus
picions thicken that the story of D.
Jackson, the only survivor of the re
cent awful tragedy on Unimak Island,
Alaska, in which Con and Torence Sul
livan and P. .1. Rooney lost their lives,
being reported as murdered by Indi
ans, is not all that it was at first pre
tended to be. The Nome Gold Digger
of July 17 contains a story as told to
that paper by Captain W. Crosby, of
the schooner Kinghurst, that deepens
the mystery. In Behring sea on June
17 Crosby spoke the schooner Lizzie
Colby, whose captain requested him
to report to the first revenue cutter he
met that he, the captain of the Colby,
had found the bodies of two "Suther
land brothers" on the beach at Cape
Lippin, Unimak. The bodies bore
many knife wounds. Strewn about the
beach were provisions marked "Jack
son and Sutherland." Next day the
captain of the Colby saw a white man
skulking about and on the following
day met him face to face. The man
said he was a fisherman and anxious
to leave the island, but made no re
quest to be taken off by the schooner.
The name Sutherland was later chang
ed to Sullivan. The captain of the
Colby stated further that the Suther
lands had $10,000 in gold when land
ed on Unimak and his theory was
that either the murder had been com
mitted by whalers or a quarrel had
broken out among the partners. Tho
revenue cutter Manning has been or
dered to the island to investigate.
