FAST HORSE RACES
FOR FAIR PATRONS
High Class Ponies and the Best
Cowboy Mounts Will Com
pete for Prizes.
Half Mile Track
New Track Built for Harness Events
WiU Permit Speed Records
Being Established.
HELENA, Sept. 20—Through the
thrills and excitement of the specta
tors to a gravity-defying plane or a
speeding motor car may lessen and
wane from repetition, the intensity of
interest in the dash of the ponies at
the home stretch has never slackened
although horse racing may be in
cluded in the category of the oldest
of sports.
The wire will be raised at the new
half mile track at the Montana state
fair grounds at Helena next Tuesday
over a field of the fastest horses to
be seen in the state since the palmy
days when horses instead of autos
held the speed
tracks- Throughout the five days of
....
the fair visitors will experience those
indescribable thrills which simply
can't be repressed when a field of
eager thoroughbreds take the track.
Perhaps these thrills will be but
a more modern expression of the feel
ing which the primitive family
records on racing
t
watched prehistoric "dad" dash for
the safety of the home cave, astride
a fleet and long-haired pony, wth the
huge jaws of a hungry monster snap- !
ping hungrily in his immediate rear, 1
This may or may not be the be- j
ginning r.f interest in fast horses,
bin: v.t any rate, in spite of the latest
in mechanical speed contrivances, in- !
terest in the coming races at the state j
fair indicates that the love of fast j
horses is not dead and that horse rac-j
inr still continues to be the favorite
sport of kings and rich man and poor
mr.n alike.
.in:e enough, the thoroughbred oi j
t-day has lost the long hair and un
gamly appearance of his ancestors,
but he has retained his fleetness, and
though the outcome of the races on
the half-mile track may not be as
v.ta! to the welfare of the ridera and I
C U „- mounts as were the races of :
i
j
,
\
j
primitive times, judging from the !
quality of the strings of both run- j
ring and harness horses that have
been entered for the fair, they lack
none of the speed.
In addition to the horses already I
within the state, stables of 50 or |
more harness and running horses are
on their way here from the Dakota
Wyoraing circuit. Two races, each
to be the best three out of five one
mile heats, will be run daily, and all
lovers of horses are assured of a full
program of fast competition.
For thoroughbred horses, three
running events will be held daily for
purses running from $150 to $300,
dvided 70, 20 and 10 per cent. En
tries frpm horse owners in Montana
as weil as from states immediately
east and west indicate well filled
fields for these events

PRESIDENT HARDING VETOES BONUS Dili
DUE TO NO REVENUE PROVIDED TO FAY
».
t
Expressed Approval of the Purpose of the Measure in Message
to Congress, and Stated lie Could Not Subscribe
to Its Provisions.
** *
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—Presi
dent Harding vetoed the soldiers'
bonus bill today, informing Congress
in a written message that while he
was in accord with "the avowed pur
pose" of the measure, he did not sub
scribe to its provisions.
The executive's action was regard
ed generally in Washington as mak
inf impossible a bonus for the World
War veterans, at least for some time
to come, as it appeared to be almost
certain that the veto would be sus
tained by the Senate. A vote in the
House was planned for tomorrow,
with Senate action to follow later in
the day or on Thursday.
Mr. Harding set forth a number of
reasons for returning the bill to the
House without his approval.
These included:
Failure (of Congress to provide a
means of financing.
That inevitably the bonus would
mean increased taxation.
That the legislation would wipe out
everything thus far accomplished to
reduce government expenditures
wherever possible.
That a peace bestowal on the ex
service man was a "perversion of
public funds," and it suggests that !
future defense is to be inspired by
Compensation rather than conscious
ness of duty to flag and country."
That to add one-sixth of the total
sum of the public debt for distribu- j
tion among less than 5,000,000 of the
110,000,000 people would undermine
confidence on which the nation's cred
it was builded, and "establish the
precedent lof distributing public funds
whenever the proposal and the num
hers affected make it seem politically
apealing to do so."
That the $10,000,000,000 of matur
ing public debt in the next six years
would be difficult to meet without
adding the complication of added
borrowings on account of a bonus,
That the adjusted service certifi
cate plan of payment, with its bank
and government loan provisions, was
little less than a certified inability of
the government to pay, and invited a
"practice of sacrificial barter" by the
veterans.
That the bonus would not diminish
the later obligations in the way of

Miss Tiffany has a voice that has
been praised for its breadth, sub
stantial fibre, and perfection of ex
pression. She has been singing with
the Metropolitan Opera Company

Miss Tiffany first attracted atten
tion with her voice while singing as
choir soloist at the First Presbyter
ian church at Pasadena, Calif., Later
she appeared with the Los Angeles

pronounced success- She later went

pensions to the World War veterans.
; Asserting that this obligation
would "coat more billions than I
venture to suggest," the president de
clared that a rational financial pol
icy today is necessary to make the na
tion ready for the expenditure which
isrcettoin to be required in the com
cost of the bonus, Mr. Harding said
| this was not definitely known. Treas
1 ury estimates, based on what seemed
j the most likely exercise of the op
! tions, he continued, figured the drect
1 cost at $795,000,000 for the first four
mg years.
Mr- Harding also called attention
to the sums now being expended for
the care of the diseased, disabled or
dependent, and asserted that the total
cost of this work, with insurance lia
bility added, would probably exceed
$25,000,000,000.
He told Congress that the govern
ment was facing a deficit of $650,
000,000 during the current fiscal year
andia further deficit for the year suc
ceeding, "even after dounting upon
all interest collections on foreign in
debtedness which the government is
likely to receive.
As to the immediate and ultimate
years, and a total cost in excess of
$4,000,000,000. He added that no
estimate of "the large indirect cost
had, ever been made.
The veto message was transmitted
to the House by a White House mes
sagç, and its reading by a clerk was
began seven minutes ' after its deliv
ery at 3:10 p. m. There was a full
attendance of members, many of
whom had returned to the capital to
vote on the question -of over-riding

The reading was given close atten
tiop, but was uninterrupted by ap
plajse. Chairman Fordney of the

RECREATION PARK
FOR CITY ASSUR
Through Generosity of Mrs. E. Broox
Martin Skating Rink Provided
for Beall Park,
# fT » '' f *1Y V*»
Bozeman will hafe a real recrea
tional park where children, and
grown-ups, may go*, to spend a few
hours in restful recreation and en
joyment of outdoor amusement.
Through the public-spiritedness of
Mrs. E. Broox Martin, the funds nec
essary to provide a skating rink this
winter, and a physical director for
the playgrounds, has been made avail
able. Mrs. Martin has for a number
of years given a great deal of atten
tion to the matter of a public play
ground, having made investigation
of many parks in other cities along
this line.
When it became necessary for the
Montana State College to secure a
woman to conduct the physical act
ivities for girl students at the col
lege, it was found there would not be
sufficient funds available to employ
one such as was desired. President
Atkinson and Physical Director Ott
Romney took the matter up with Mr»,
Martin, outlinjg a plan whereby both
the college and the public play
grounds might secure the director.
The plan met with the approval of
Mrs. Martin, and Miss Eva Peck, of
Salt Lake City, was employed- She
has had years iof experience in this
work, is personally known to Mr.
Romney, and comes to Bozeman with
the- best of recommendations.
By the plan arrived at, Mrs E.
Broox Martin will pay half of the
salary of Miss Peck during the col
lege year, while she is devoting part
time there. Through the three
months college vacation, Mrs. Martin
will pay the entire salary of Miss
Peck, who will during that time give
all her attention to the play grounds.
Mrs. MJartin will thus, through her
generosity, make it possible for the
Aildren of the -city to enjoy the Beall
Parie play-grounds as anticipated by
the c% at the time the property whs
■purchased from Mrs. J. W. Beall.

Committee Will Make Import*
\ ant Address in State.
Former Governor James P. Good
rich, of Indiana, who is in Montana
at the present time, is expected to
arrive in Bozeman on Thursday, Sep
tember 28, and will make a speech

Bozeman Deaconess Hospital To
Start Toward Movement Campaign
■ •
Board of Directors Selects Executive Committee to Direct Cam
paign, With Assistance of Large Citizen Committee. Plan
to Sell Certificates to Reduce Indebtedness.
Active work has started this week
for clearing the indebtedness of the
Deaconess Hospital. This indebt
edness has been a source of great
worry to the members of the board
of directors of the hospital, and to
Miss Ackerman, superintendent of the
institution. There is a balance due
on the construction and equipment
cost totaling about $74,000, which it
is hoped to clear up at once.
The original plans of the hospital
estimated a building and equipment
of about $76,000, and when the cam
paign for funds was carried on four
years ago for the purpose of erect
ing the building, that sum was near
ly all subscribed. However, the in
creased cost of building material and
labor, due to the war time increase
in all commodities, brought the cost
of the hospital up to nearly $130,000.
This has all been paid with the excep
tion of about $71,000,- upon which
there is an accrued interest due of a
little over $3JK>0
Mr. L. O. Jones, field secretory for
hospitals and homes of the Methodist

JACKSON, Calif., Sept. 19—Bod
ies of five of the 47 miners entombed
22 days by a fire in the Argonaut
gold mine were brought to the surface
today. The United States bureau of
mines crew wrapped the bodies in
canvas, where they were found last
night in the 4,350-foot level of the
Argonaut and carried them through
the Kennedy mine adjoining.
Three of those brought out were
identified.
A coroner's jury will be sworn in
tomorrow by Mrs. Lola Potter, the
aoroner, to view the ill-fated miners.
An inquest probably will be held
Thursday, at which an endeavor will
be made to establish the cause of
death. It is not expected the respon
sibility for the disaster will be fixed
After the bodies were brought from
the underground workings, they were
