TO ABANDON EMPLOYMENT OFFICES ## Column 1 ### FEDERAL BUREAU OF LABOR CUT TO SKELETON DIMENSION **United States Employment Service Is Reduced 80 Per Cent Because of the Lack of Funds for Its Maintenance.** #### IDLENESS GROWING WASHINGTON ADVISED **Failure of Congress to Pass General Deficiency Bill Cause of Trouble; President's Fund Not Available.** Washington, March 13.—Reduction of 80 per cent in the force of the United States employment service, effective March 22, was announced today by Director-General Densmore. This was made necessary, it was explained, by the failure of congress to provide funds to continue the work. Mr. Densmore said the number of employment offices would be reduced from 750 to 56, but that none of the work in direct connection with the return of soldiers and sailors to civilian employment would be discontinued. "The reduction of the employment service cuts it to the bone," said Mr. Densmore. "The special work in placing engineers and other highly trained men, persons handicapped by old age and physical disability, vocational guidance for juveniles, training classes for skilled workers and the training of employment examiners all must cease March 22." #### SKELETON REMAINS. The maintenance of the state administrative organization in Washington and the minimum continuance of the soldiers' and sailors' bureau and the clearance system, together with a reduced number of industrial centers, will, however, permit the director to continue employment work by the employment service and enable it to expand its operation when congress appropriates funds. The president was in conference tonight, explaining the plan to reorganize the veteran organization, with a plan to draw on President Wilson's special fund. *(Continued on Page Fourteen, Col.

Livingston, March 13.—O. M. Harvey was abnormal in many ways. His skull was less than half the thickness of the ordinary person and had never knit together along the sutures. His heart was enlarged to twice its proper size and his liver was not normal, according to testimony introduced by the defense today at the trial of Joseph Swindlehurst, charged with killing O. M. Harvey, the late republican central committee chairman. Serious doubt as to the cause of Mr. Harvey's death was obtained by the defense during the day, which was taken up exclusively by medical testimony introduced by two of the three physicians who performed the autopsy, and the two attending doctors who were called to assist Mr. Harvey before he died, following a street fight with the defendant last December. #### THEORY SUPPORTED. Col. C. B. Nofts gained strong support for the defense that Mr. Harvey did not die from blood clots on the brain, but that these clots were caused by embalming, by having blood forced out of the arteries of the stomach while the embalming was being injected. He obtained an admission from one of the physicians who testified, and one of them agreed to this, "while two of the three physicians built up a hypothetical question based on the evidence by saying that the physician could not say that death was caused by the blows administered on the head by Joseph Swindlehurst." #### Refuses to Agree. Dr. Pampel refused to agree. *(Continued on Page Three, Col. One.)* ## Column 3 ### MEN WHO HAVE CHARGE OF BUTTE'S ST. PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATION *Reading left to right: W. J.

Lynch, chairman of the St. committee of arrangements; Dr. P. J. Finnery and Dr. P. Fitzpatrick, members of committee; and Rev. Father James O'Brien, president judicial section No. 1. A. O. B.* With the completion of arrangements last night by the Irish societies for the great St. Patrick's day celebration, all details for the big parade of the Ancient Order of Hibernians on St. Patrick's day have been arranged. At the meeting of members of the Army and Navy association in Judge Lynch's courtrooms, it was decided to bring the question of parading as an organization up at the next regular meeting of the body on Sunday. Council 11 decided not to hold a parade this year. The Hibernian parade will be held, following the regular custom, all classes desiring to march, and a commanding officer and platoon commanders appointed. There is little likelihood that the association will have a parade. Last night Judge Lynch, who is leading the celebration, enthusiastically in favor of a general parade. #### Lineup of Parade.

Rider Haggard's Masterpiece of Fiction Will Start Sunday; Fascination and Realism Unsurpassed.** #### READER IS COMPLETELY CARRIED OUT OF HIMSELF **Men and Women Dead More Than 3,000 Years People the Earth Again to Entertain and Instruct.** A MODERN miracle has been achieved by H. Rider Haggard, who died thousands of men and women who lived on this earth and five and more and three thousand years ago, who the shadowy ghosts of physical facts that lived with them—with all the temple spires, palm-groves rustling—in all the vigor of their physical flesh and blood. We hear their voices; we see the dilation of their nostrils; we are thrilled by the touch of their jeweled hands. As they loved and hated we love and hate and feel their feeling; we share their joys and their sorrows, more than if they lived in the apartment overhead or below or next door. H. Rider Haggard is the man who has had some trick of the imagination that no other writer of adventure will honor and thank him; his tale carries with it all of his pen has worked. "Moon of Israel," his latest, his most potent masterpiece, the climax of "She," "King Solomon's Mines"— *(Continued on Page Six— Col.
