Rancher Tears Up Rail Jrack, ' / Road Compelled to Stop All Trains in Fight Over Right-of-Way in Montana. (By Associated Proas! Helena, Mont., July 12.—Complaint vas made to United States District Attorney Slattery here from the gen eral office of the Minneapolis, St. Paul lb Sault Ste Marie Kailway Co. that Klmer Thompson, a rancher, four miles east of White Tail, Daniels county, had torn up 60 feet of the company's railroad track, and built or moved a shack into the gap where he was holding forth, heavily armed. The situation is compelling the rail way officials to stop their trains, both passenger arid freight, at Outlook, about 20 miles east of White Tail, resulting in the stoppage of all traf fic and the passage of United States mail to White Tall, the terminus of this branch line of the railroad sys tem, the information stated. The railroad is said to have ac quired the land, together with other property, for right-of-way purposes about 10 years ago. It was necessary to start condemnation proceedings in connection with the Thdmpson strip and Thompson has never accepted the findings of the appraisers, nor the money paid into the office of the district clerk to he paid over to him on the basis of the appraisal figures. District Attorney Slattery an nounced he will take action In the matter, after he has been fully ad vised of the circumstances. Thomp son probably will be charged with interference with United States mail, Slattery eafd. Lasker Talks Rum in London Declares Doesn’t Think Dry Law Makers Intend to Hit Foreign Ships. (By Associated Press.) London, July 12.—Albert D. Lasker, former chairman of the United States shipping board, put 200 Britons straight last night on the whys and wherefores of the American merchant marine and the wet and dry ship controversy at a dinner given by the pilgrims to the various,United States government's officials, who voyaged over on the Leviathan. He explained that President Harding felt It Incon-j slstent for America to be d^y on land and wet on the sea. That American! ships had not served liquor was sole-, ly because the president had renewed these instructions. Mr. Lasker said no greater hurtj could happen to the American mer, chant marine than to seek to force foreigners to be dry. "Somehow,” he added, "foreign vesi .sels will, and, as I believe, should learn to serve liquor outside the three mile limit. What we wish to do with ^^*.our ships Is our business; what you wish to do with your ships is your business; nobody elses. We would be the gainer all around If the coming congress would find a means to ex pedite legislation to clear up the pres ent muddle.” Relative to the American merchant marine, which some Britons seemed to resent, Mr. Lasker reminded the diners that its building had begun at the Instigation of Great Britain, as Mr. Lloyd George's first message after the entry of the United States into the war was: "Ships! More ships! Tet more ships!" Senator Borah Urges Parley on World Problems BJ Associated Press. Portland, Ore., July 12.—The league of nation* and the world court are Impotent in the presence of the Ruhr and the Russian problems and the United States should ask for an economic conference to deal with the reparations situation and take affirm ative steps looking ultimately to recognition of the Russian govern ment, It was declared by United States Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, speaking to the convention of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women. The senator said there could be no peace, no disarmament, no opening of the markets of Europe to the products of American farms, without adjustment of the reparations prob lem and the Russian problem.

BURGESS. Th» thin* you seek you'll oft*n find Just when you've put it from your mind —Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit Rubs His Eye*. Peter Rabbit tried to forget Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse, but he couldn't. Every once in a while the thought of them would pop into his head as he scampered about through the Green Forest, on the Green Meadows and ud in the Old Orchard. It seemed to him that he missed them more and more. Ho hadn’t the least little doubt that they had been caught and eaten by one of their many enemies. Early one morning Peter happened along on the edge of the alder thicket Just above the Smiling Pool. It was a long time since he had been over there. It was a very long time. In fact he hadn't been there since early in the spring when he paid his re spects to Redwing the Blackbird on his return from the Sunny South. He wasn't paying particular atten tion to anything as he scampered along, llpperty lipperty lip. The fact is, he was In a 'hurry to get to the Smiling Pool to call on Grandfather Frog. He had some questions he wanted to ask Grandfather Frog, who is accounted very old and very wise. But Just as he was passing that alder thicket he caught a glimpse of a little gray form disappearing in the grass. Petter stopped abruptly.' That little gray form had had a short tail. Petter knew that no one bjit a Meadow Mouse has a tail like that. "It must be that one of the chil dren of Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse is living over here," said he. "Perhaps now I can find out what happened to Danny and Nanny.” Peter sat down and kept perfect ly still, but while he was keeping Then Danny Meadow Mouse him* self came out of that little tun nel in the grass. perfectly rftlll he was looking sharp ly. Right away he discovered several little paths In the taJl grass. He knew that no one but a Meadow Mouse could have made those tiny paths. The grass was so tall that, those paths were almost like little tunnels. Peter watched the one in which he had seen that little gray form disappear. At last he chanced to look at the entrance to another of those tunnels in the grass. A pair of bright eyes were watching him. They disap peared at once, but Peter had seen enough to make him rub his eyes. He had seen the living image of Danny Meadow Mouse! Yes, sir, he had seen the living image of Danny Meadow Mouse! Do you wonder that he rubbed his eyes? Peter continued to sit with his eyes fixed on the place where that little face had disappeared. He didn’t have to wait long. In fact, it was only a few minutes before that face reappeared. Again Peter rubbed his eyes. "What’s the matter with your eyes. Peter Rabbit?" a squeaky little voice Inquired, and the two bright little eyes watching him twinkled. "Danny Meadow Mouse!" exclaimed Peter, and his tone sounded as if ho didn’t believe what he was saying. “Certainly,” replied the squeaky - _ Thecocomit 11 oil hi I keeps hands Hi from getting IP rough(/rea | <2Sf _ Pride of Ownership Is JKerlected by All Users of Steinway Pianos Every woman will delight to know that she, too, can play the “INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS,” the choice of all the world’s great musical artists.

Jail attendants were forced to re move Montonas into a private cell when the angered crowd at the jail learned of the prisoner'a offense and beat him unmercifully. In court, the man admitted being an alien, said he hated this country, its laws and ways of living, and as serted he had spat on the American flag as it passed by in a Boy Scout parade Tuesday.
