Between Labor Unions Sets Rec ord in Montana. Butte, Mont.

Seven hundred members of the union are named as plaintiffs in the suit, which is brought against the Western Federation of Miners, Chas. II. Moyer. president, and the Butte Miners' Union.

Hartman, former coun ty, has been named by Governor West as one of the three men to Investi gate the affairs of the Multnomah county court but it Is possible ' the judge will be unable to serve owing to the illness of Mrs. Hartman. The following story of . the ap pointment of the Investigating board Is from the Salem correspondent of the Oregon Journal: Salem, Ore., Feb. 15. Complying with the request of the East Side Business Men's club of Portland, Governor "West today appointed the following committee to investigate the records of the Multnomah county court: A. S. Miller, member of Mulnomah grange; George A. Hartman. ex county judge of Umatilla county; A. A. Cunningham, an expert account ant who participated In a similar In vestigation In Idaho; James M. Wi ley, an expert accountant who has been- employed by state railroad and tax commissions. Soon after the January grand Jury returned Its final report, which se verely criticised the methods In vogue in the county court, County Judge Cleeton spoke to the East Side club. He invited the club to name a com mittee to make a thorough investi gation of the county court's records, saying the county would pay the ex penses of such an investigation. The club accepted. It has been charged that the coun ty court has no system in keeping tab on the county affairs, that the con tracts for the new courthouse have been carelessly let, that the purchase of furniture for the new county farm was made without asking for bids, and that the system in general is not up to date. The sale of a gravel pit by the county to Moss Bloch and later to Robert Shaw, clerk to the commis sioners, has been criticised. The pit has been valued at $10,000; Shaw paid $3250 for it. Judge Cleeton and the two com missioners went before the present grand jury and asked an investiga tion. Nothing has been done by that body. Judge Cleeton when Informed of the governor's appointment said he was willing that the men begin at once with the investigation. He ex pressed confidence that the affairs of his court would be found in good snape. aiany or the transactions of which complaint has been made were started when the old board was in of fice. The only member of the old board on the present board is W. I Ldghtner. D. V. Hart is the third member. CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION HERE With the exploding of thousands of fire crackers, the local Chinese win tonight celebrate the advent of a new year by their calendar, and, because they are In sympathy with the new Chinese republic, their celebration will probably take a more noisy form than is customary. Moan Iee, who Is one of the leaders of the local ce lestials, has applied to the police for permission to shoot firecrackers in the street and, while formal permis sion has not been given, they will not be molested as long as their demon stration does not go beyond the shoot ing of the crackers. For the most part, the local Chi nese are progressives and. In keeping with the recent edict, have,- shorn themselves of their long queues. Both Moan Lee and Ung Ooey, the ack nowledged leaders of the Pendleton colony, are among those clipping off their long braids. ELKS' FIRST PEKFORMAXCE A ROARING SUCCESS (Continued from page one.) would have done credit to a vaudeville circuit. Concluding the program was a collection of feature stunts which left a good taste In the mouths of the home goers. Jack Vincent, dressed as Topsy, made his feet dance a rat-a-tat on the floor while his legs writhed and twisted In a most ec centric manner and he was followed by "Old Mammy" Estes with a hilar ious buck and wing. The quartet sang plantation melodies from the background while the Edminston brothers and Jack Vincent picked out' sweet strains from their stringed in struments. And while mention is being made of the big success of the whole per formance, the orchestra which played throughout the evening must not be overlooked. It is doubtful If ever a professional troupe of blackface art ists came through here who were ac companied by such a splendid orches tra as that which played" with the Elks last night. Tonight the second performance will be given with a new program and It Is certain that it will be attended by a larger number who were pres ent last night. New songs, new jokes and a bunch of new features are promised and those who were In the audience last night will testify that the whole will be presented without the delays and drag which usually at tend a home talent production.
