Asso ciate Justice llenrv A. llelvin of the stato supremo court was found drowned in a bathtub at the MVrritt hospital here todnv. JiuIkc Melvin's physician, Dr. William S. I'orter, in dicated that ilusljco jMclviii, while delirious from fever filled the tub with water and died while bathiiu;. Justice M'clvin had been ill for sev eral months, llenrv Alexander Mcl vin was widely kntfwn as a Youn: linn's Christian association worker and us past urnnil exalted ruler of the Klks lodirc. I Ju(1l'0 Mclvin, who bad been tiroiieht to Jlerritt hospital two days previously from St. Francis hospital ill Kail Francisco, had been kept under close watch, as, accnrdiiu; to Dr. l'or ter, it was known that bo was labor inir under hallucinations resaltni' from bis illness. Shortly after 7 o'clock this moraine; be rcnucsted Per mission to takn a bath and was told that be could do so if he would leave the door to the bathroom open. (n-c inside the room, he slammed the dour and locked it. When it was finnlU forced open after considerable effort bis body was found in a bathtub full of water. Life was practically ex tinet. Dr. I'orter was at once sum moned, but found him dead upon ar rival. For five months Jtuk'e Jlelvin bad been suffcriiiir from a form of brain iuvor. THE MONTANA PRIMARY THE MONTANA primary is a dear cut victory for Senator Johnson. It is also an emphatic defeat, tho first recorded by popular ballot, of the peace treaty and league ot .Nations. In every other primary the total of the California sen ator's vote has been exceeded by the total of his opponents. If early returns are a fair indication, Johnson has a solid majority in Montana, in excess of any combination his ro jiublican rivals can offer. As has been pointed out before, Senator Johnson's bub port is an unbreakable unit. He is the only candidate who uncompromisingly opposes the treaty and league covenant, with or without reservations, and he is the only candidate who makes a direct appeal to the radical element ot dis content. It is not surprising that a state which requires the United States army to preserve order in the streets of its principal city one day, should register a landslide for Johnson the next. JL M. JL JL Nevertheless, the political significance of Johnson's persistent victories, can not be escaped, nor his growing importance as a factor in the coming presidential contest denied. With Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, Mod tana and probably Wisconsin behind him, he could lose in every other state and still hold a strategic position of genu ine consequence. All of which makes certain one grand old scrap in the Chicago convention. While Montana is the sole" state thus far to justify the assumption the Johnson supporters will go to Chicago with a claim that the people have registered emphatic opposition to tho treaty and league of nation With iJoraii ana donnson irrevocably committed, to mi anti-league platform, the framers of the republican plat form will be faced by a genuine dilemma. To adopt the Lodge program ot reservations, means to invite a party split, to adopt the Johnson-Borah program means a con-. test with the Democratic party on an out-and-out league or no league issue. Meanwhile, the political observer notices the demo cratic trend. A hand-picked Wilson (supporter victorious in' Georgia and Senator lieed, the democratic Johnson, rend out or the party in Missouri. There promises to be nothing tame about this year's conventions. Rippling RhijmQsf By wait Mason HOUSES ARE SCARCE nr HE TOWN is short of dwellings of small or larger size and so we hear the yellings of heartsick home less guys; they hustle, helter-skelter, to try to rent a shelter of some hard-hearted pelter, unmoved by till their cries. It's hard to raise the ante for any common gent; for he could build a shanty with what he pays in rent; but there's no builder willing to take his hard earned shilling and help him make a killing, and hence this loud lament. I see the homeless hiking around me everywhere; their bosoms they are striking, and tearing of their hair; men flaunt their rollls of kroners, and cry, "Kent us a shack, or we are simply goners, alas, and eke alack!" Our kids and wives arc weepiug, for they must do their sleeping in barns where rain is seeping through every beastly crack ! Our uncles aud our gran nies in corncribs sit and sigh, while through the open crannies the winds go whizzing by; then rent to us, my master, a house with lath and plaster, or there will be disaster, and fireworks popping high!" In vain there are no houses that they can rent or hire, which grew sonie fact arouses 1113' stern patrician ire; that men who have the plunder can't rest, a roof tree under, fills me with wrath aud wonder, the while T kick inv lvre. JA CRITIC THOUGHT OF ANGLIN PLAY What Ashton Steven says about Margaret AiiKlIn in the Chicago Ex- amlaer-Ucmld. that Kornoous actross Margaret Anglin, eavo a sensationally good performance of a Hoaaational play, 'Tho Woman of Bronze,' by llonry KlHtemaecher nad lCugeno Delnrd, uud -Paul Kostor N'ow Yorked it for her. 1 Tlio Woman ot Drome' Is a bit ut sight, an instant raving hit, a play and 11 performance that will bo talk ed about from luko to ocean. I give It no less than an entire season when It gets to New York. Miss Anglin In 'Tho Woman of Hronze' Is (he best "theator that you huvo Been In years. "I suppose sho kept tho play shelved thruout the period ot the war In tho ctuirltahlo notion that we had troubles of our own without seeking them in tho plnyhouse. It is a troublous and troubling drama. It piles agony on agony. It is emotion al emotional nil over tho place, it would be heurtbreukingly, impossibly emotional for this o'clock In the American playhouse but for your be ing able to toll yourself' every few minutes, 'Yes, but it's only a play!" "Thank Heaven for all tho theatri- culness that abounds in 'Tho Woman of Dronie.' lie glad that it is 'thea ter' and such good theater of its kind. And at that I advise you to carry an extra handkerchief. 'All the acts are exquisitely long And so Is tho art with which Miss Anglin serves it. Nobody else on the American stage could play the part but this gorgeous actress -who flits from Wildo to Euripides to 'theater' with equally unassailable authenticity." OF W, D.
