1ST BALLOT
MOhiana Senator Is Declared
Not Guilty of Using Influ
ence Wrongfully in Oil Case
r-Mrs. Wheeler Gives Birth
to Daughter Big Celebra
tion Held.
GREAT FALLS. Mont., April 25.
(By the Associated' Press.) Senator
Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, late
vice presidential candidate and politi
cal storm center, basked today In the
double dlstlled sunshine of fortune.
This followed what developed to bo a
rod letter event in tho Wheeler fam
ily last night when he stood In foderal
court here and received two messages
simultaneously, one being his acquittal
on a charge of wrongfully using- his
senatorial Influence with the interior
department and the other announcing
the birth of a daughter In the Wheeler
home In Washington.
The verdict was returned two hours
and thlrtoen minutes after tho Jury
had retired to deliberate and out of
this time- it took one hour for dinner.
But one ballot was taken.
In spite of an admonition to spoc-,.
tators by Federal Judge Frank S.
Dietrich that there must be no domon
stratldn in tho court room, there was
a rush for the senator when tho ver
dict was read. In his hand he held
the. telegram announcing the birth of
a daughter. But court was in sesslson
only two minutes and his delighted
followers were let loose without de
lay.. Ho strode over to tho Jury and
shook hands with each of the twelve
men who passed on his case. Then
District Attorney John Li. Slattery, who
prosecuted him, approached him and
shook his hand.
"I hopo both the daughter nnd the
verdict get along all right," said
Slattery, ainUlng.. - ' " "
. denaior Wheeler later Issued a state
ment in which ho declared tho verdict
was what hp expected and thanking
Senator Walsh for his services. Ho
also said in the statement that his con
cern for Mrs. ' Wheeler was greater
during the trial than was his anxiety
over his case.
Senator Wheeler was indicted here
April 8, 1924. by "a federal grand
Jury on "n charge of accepting a fee
of $4000 from Gordon CampbelL. Mon
tana oil operator for appearing after
his election to the senato before the
department of the Interior in proso
cuitlhg oil land permits for his client.
He branded the indictment as "pal
pably a frameup."
Next day tho senate started an In
vestigation of the case and In tho end
wholly exonerated him. '
Trial of the case started hero" April
16, after many delays..
Jot Folletlc "Dcllfrhlcd"
WASHINGTON. April 25. Depart:
ment of juatlce officials had nothing
to Say today about the collapse of their
ease in Montana against Senator
Wheeler. The celerity with which tho
jury threw . out the department's
charges and exonerated the senator
manifestly caused disappointment and
chagrin and in view of the circum
stances no official would predict
whether the separate proceedings
brought against Mr. Wheeler in the
tlJ(atrtct of Columbia would be pressed.
Senator Wheeler's friends mean
time, were predicting that the case
here never would he brought to trial.
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin with
whom the Montana senator was a can
didate on the Independent presidential
ticket last summer, sent this telegram
of congratulations.
;'Oreat rejoicing here and. through
out the country. Your friends are ex
tremely happy that a Jury chosen
from the good people of Montana have
acquitted you and vindicated justice.
"But every decent melt respecting
American citizen must bow his head
with shame in the face of the estab
: lfshed fact thot the leaders of a politi
cal party and highest responsible public-
officials have prostituted a great
department to subvert justice, shield
the guilty and convict an honest man
bririme."
ifustice department officials have al
ways maintained that the conspiracy
indictment recently returned here, was
wholly independent of the proceedings
' at Great Falls, but the friends of Sen
ator Wheeler have taken the opposite
view. The case here was prepared by
Assistant Attorney General Donovan,
who is absent from Washington.

about 9:30 p. m. and filled their gas
tank. During the time ho was hang
ing up tho hose, one of the men
stepped up behind, htm and hit him
with some sharp Instrument, dazing

Fire, Put Out Flames After)
12-Hour Struggle Crawl
to Safety.
WALLACE. Irado, April 25. Four-
teen minors who subdued a firo on the
2,000 foot lovol of tho Hucla silver
lead mine nt Ilurko, seven miles from
here and escaped by tholr own efforts
late yesterday alte.noon, after being
trapped In tho mlno for more than
twelve hours, are the horoes or uurno
today and many stories are being told
of tholr bravory and resourcefulness
in tho face of danger which theatoucd
their lives.
After bnttling smoko nnd flames for
several hours tho mon reached tho
main shaft and calmly rang for tho
cage. They were hoisted to the sur
face, hungry and tired from the strain
forced upon them, but otherwise un
harmed. '
' When the "alarm was sound all
men working in the nilno wore won
hoisted to safety except the fourteen
who were two miles away in tho work
ings with the denso smoko nnd flamos
barring tholr way. Tho men first
learnod of tho fire which brnko out
In tho pumping plant near the shaft
on tho 2000 foot level, shortly bofore
midnight Thursday.
They were able to go fairly close
to tho flro. Shift Boss Hubert A
Uhoff, in charge of tho men in Jho
workings, declared last night. They
disconnected a pump used In their
drilling, and by conpressed air drove
back tho smoko until they were close
enough to pump water on. the burn
ing plant.
From then on, the, miners said, they
pumped water from the drainage dltcn
until they were finally able to drive
the flro back and reach the station.
Whllo this was being dono, crews on
the surface made vain efforts to reach
the mon by way of tho shaft, the hent
preventing them each time they went
down tho nhnft.
Three acta of valor stood forth to
day, ono was the act of B. Van Voor-
his, ono of the throo men rescued from
the mlno shortly after tho alarm was
sounded. He wns reported to have
dragged R. C. Richardson. 51, to safe
ty when tho older man would have
surrendered in tho face of tho long
climb to tho shaft.
A second was tho work of Sparks,
who made two trips into the mine
shortly after tho alarm and succeed
ed In ronhlng tho 2000 foot lovel be
fore tho heat and gas drove him out.
Tho third was tho leadership of Uhoff
in the fight of the miners against tho
flames.
Tho damage dono to the mine was
estimated to be about f 10,000 by L. E
Hanley superintendent nf the mine,
A leak in an electrlct cable is believed
to have caused tho fire.
