SALVI CANCELS
BOZEMAN BATE
AT UTE HOUR
College Artists* Course Commit
tee Indignant Oyer Harp
ist's Arbitrary Action
Notice of cancellation of the ap
pearance here, scheduled for Thurs
day evening, of Alberto Salvi, famous
harpist, was received by the Artists'
Course committee of Montana State
college Saturday in a wire from a
Denver booking agency and aroused
considerable indignation on the part
of those promoting the course.
Unavoidable troubles" with Salvi's
bookings was the excuse given by the
Denver agency for the cancellation,
which proved a great disappointment
to both the committee and the pub
■
lic. The agency offered to
tute immediately, and endeavor to
arrange for Salvi's appearance here
at a later date, but the offer was
promptly refused.
This is the second time the Artists'
Course committee has been subjected
to such inconvenience, the first in
stance occurring last winter when a
noted pianist declined, at a late date
and for no apparent reason, to com
plete her bookings in the Northwest.
We regret the cancellation of the
Salvi concert,'' said the chairman of
the committee, "but the disappoint
ment is unavoidable. As late as last
Friday we received assurances that
Salvi would be here. Holders of col
lege course tickets will, of course,
be fully protected by other numbers
scheduled for this winter."
It was intimated that the commit
tee. indignant over such arbitrary
' treatment, might cancel the contract
with the Denver agency and fill out
the season's program with features to
be obtained elsewhere.

State Examiners Prepare Budget
For 1927-28—-General Fund
To Bear the Load

HELENA—When the 1927 legisla
ture convenes January 3 it will face
the problem of making appropria
tions totaling more than $6,000,000,.
if recommendations of 'he state
board of examiners are followed.
For the two-year period, ending
June 30, 1920, the board approves ex
penditures totalling $6,656,627. To
this amount the legislature must add
whatever it needs for its own opera
tion which, last session, cost about
$170,000.
The amounts recommended by the
board represent a cut of $1,927,325
from the requests of officials, depart
ments and institutions. The total al
lows expenditures of $6,453,605 for
operation, $93,877 for capital expen
ses and $130,14 for repairs.
The general fund, of course, bears
the load. From this source comes
$4 ,876,627 which represents the
amount the state board thinks the
state at large must contribute for the

known needs of state government
maintenance.
Income from fees, federal aid, and
other sources of departmental and
institutional revenues make up an ad
ditional $1,800,000, which completes
the total recommended.

RECOGNIZE VALUE
NEWSPAPER SPACE
More than 70 per cent of the total
expenditure for advertising by elec
tric light and power companies dur
ing 1925 was for newspaper space, a
report of the advertising committee
of the National Electric Light asso
ciation shows.
The committee found the electric
companies favor the use of newspa
pers because of their timeliness and
ability to reach the maximum number
of consumers at a minimum cost.
Good advertising can be originat
ed only by the expenditure of funds
commensurate with the results pos
sible to obtain. As a result of in
creasing employment of competent
advertising specialists and agencies
the quality and effectiveness of our
advertising has greatly improved,
the committee's report says.—Amer

BURGLARY COUNT
Joe Miller, Accused of Robbing
Belgrade Station, Bound Over
To District Court
After a preliminary hearing last
Friday, Joe Miller, charged with bur
glarizing, on November 15, the North
ern Pacific station at Belgrade, was
bound over by Justice of the Peace
Lloyd M. Johnson to the district court
for trial. The sum stolen was about
$15. Bail was fixed at $750, in de
fault of which Miller is in the county
jail.
At the hearing it was brought out
that at the time of Miller's arrest
by Marshal C. H. McDonald at Bel
grade, there was found in his posses
sion a 1912 nickle which the Northern
Pacific agent there claims was a part
of the money stolen. Footprints in
the snow, supposed to hsvci been
made by the thief, are alleged to cor
respond with those of Miller. The
evidence was considered by Justice
Johnson sufficient to warrant holding
the accused man for trial.
Miller was represented at the hear
ing by Attorney Prank M. Gray,
while E. A. Peterson county attorney,
appeared for the state. Atttorney Gay
of Belgrade also had a part in the
proceedings.
MRS. HOGAN WINS
IN ESTATE HATTIE
Named Administrator of Estate
of Nelson Story, Sr., Over
Brother's Protest
it
1
Victory in her fight to be named
administrator of the estate of Nel
son Story, Sr., was won by Mrs.
Rose Story Hogan in a Los Angeles,
Calif., court Monday, according to
Associated Press dispatches. The
appointment was protested by her
brother, General Walter P . Story.
The court ruled that an agreement
made several years ago in which Gen
eral Story and two brothers, Nelson
Story, Jr., former lieutenant gover
nor of Montana, and T. B. Story, as
signed to Mrs. Hogan all their inter
ests in the estate, still was in effect
and General Story therefore was not
an heir. Claims that Story had no
estate in California were overruled
when Mrs. Story produced an old
Swiss watch which the jeweler tes
tified was worth more than $1,000.
She also claims that stocks and
bonds valued at $60,600 which Gen
eral Story sent his brother in Monr
tana after his father's death belong
ed to the estate. General Story de
clared they were the property of his
brother.

THIEVES ACTIVE;
POLICE SEEK 10
BREAK UP "RING
»»
Several Bozeman Young Men
Under Survillance—Warrant
Issued But No Arrest Made
Activities of thieves within the
last few days have resulted in vari
ous losses and put the police forçe
of the city on the qui vive, but as
yet no arrests have been made. The
thefts are believed to be the work
of a "ring" composed of youths who
have been commiting petty larcenies
for some time.
A few nights ago the Blackmore
was entered and ? pair of trousers
and $35 in cash taken from the
apartments of Harvey Cox, while
Jack Stout lost a high power rifle.
The gun was recovered Wednesday
from a person who purchased it, for
$5, from a youngster. Mr. Cox's
trousers and money, however, are
still missing.
Later thieves broke into the gar -
age of Deputy Game Warden Frank
Marshall and stole 11 muskrat hides.
These were later returned, at Mr.
Marshall's request, by a local hide
dealer, who said he had bought the
skins from a youth for $8.50. Pay
ment was made by check, which was
later cashed at the Sawyer store.
The latter establishment is loser by
that sum, payment of the check hav
ing been stopped after it was learned
that the muskrat skins were stolen
property.
Other petty thefts during the last
tjwo or three months are blamed up
on the same "gang", and the author
ities are determined to break it up.
Several young men are under sur
veillance, and it ia said that a war
rant has been issued for one, but as
yet has not been served.

$153,284 TOTAL
HELENA—Coal mining in Mon
tana produced a state revenue at five
cents a ton amounting to $153,284,
