WRONGED BY GERMANY.
TWO Naturalized Americans Ar
rested and ReIensed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE state
department has received a dispatch
from Secretary Jackson, charge daft
faires at the embassy of the United
States at Berlin, giving a statement
concerning the arrest of two Ameri-
can citizens, Fred and Ferdinand
hort. These men were born in Ger
many, and in 1888 came to the United
States, being then seventeen and if
teen years respectively. They were
naturalized at Chicago in 1894. Last
September they made a visit to Ger
many. In March they were arrested
and fined 160 marks for failure to per-
form military duty The German all
thorlues, upon an investigation under
taken at the instance of the Ameri-
can embassy, annuIled the proceed-
lngs and ordered the return of the
money. Mr.. Jackson says that the
brothers having finished their visit
returned to the United States. Their

Special to the Globe
CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-If the suit in
Seattle against the receivers of the
Northern Pacific is successful the
decision will be the most sensational
IN the history of railroading. If
Mr.. Petit succeeds in inducing Unit
ed States Judge Hanford to oust the
receivers from that part of the road
under his jurisdiction, as the lawyer
fully expects, similar suits will be
brought in all other courts of juris-
diction in Northern Pacific territory.
Mr. Petut's main point will be the
lack of jurisdiction of Judge Jenkins.
His further argument will be an ar
raignment of the receivers, which it
seems must certainly end in libel
suits or criminal proceedings. He
will claim that eX-President Willard
used his office for Illegally depicting
the revenues of the Northern Pacific,
and that he practically stole $1,000,-
600 or more from the Northern Pa
cific treasury by various bogus sales
Of useless roads to the Northern Pa
cific. Of sales to this amount he
claims the receivers have absolute
proof, and have refused to prosecute
Willard. He will claim that the re-
ceivers could produce evidence con-
victing Willard of having engineered
Illegal deals by which the road was
mulcted out of many more millions.
He will also claim Willard resigned
the New York agency of the Deutch
bank. in favor of Edward D. Adams,
and had him appointed chairman of
the reorganization committee, and
that Mr. Adams and President Hill
agreed on plan by which the
Northern Pacific was to be given
into Mr.. Hill's control Perhaps the
most sensational part Of Mr.. Pet
tits argument will be a statement
in full of the plan of reorganization
as now proposed between Mr.. Adams
and Mr.. Hill.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 14.-In the
United States circuit court today the
attorneys for the receivers of the
Northern Pacific gained a point and
lost a point in the fight against them
by Si1as A. Petit, representing
President Brayton Ives and the
American stockholders. As indicated
yesterday there was filed a motion
today that T. F. Cakes, H. c. Payne
and H. W. Rouse, receivers; William
H Cromwell, general counsel, and
]. W. Kendrick, general manager, be
cited to appear in court Aug. p and
produce kilograms, books and other
documents necessary to petitioner,
in order to sustain his charges of
collusion between the Adams men,
the receivers, Judge Jenkins and J.
J. Hill, and also to establish the fact
that the circuit court for the eastern
district of Wisconsin had no juris-
diction in the case.
Judge Hanford denied the notion
leaving counsel the privilege of re-
newlng It later, If the case should
warrant. The other motion was td
amend the answer filed two yeara
ago. In the original bill the fifteenth
paragraph alleges that the Northern
Pacific railroad has property I'M
Judge Jenkins district, and the an
swer admits the allegation, while tha
affidavit filed a few days ago alleges
there is no property of the company
in the district, and never has been.
Counsel wished to correct this in
compatibility of terms. This mo-
ton was vigorously opposed by ex-
Senator Spooner, but Judge Han
ford held that the parties had the
right to define the issue, and granted
the motion TO amend. The appli-
cation to oust the receivers and ap-
point new ones is set for Aug. %.

HURON, S. D., Aug 14-The regu-
lar weekly crop report of Observer S.
W. Glenn shows conditions in forty
three counties to be as follows:
The temperature during the week
averaged slightly below the normal for
the state. but the days were mostly
warm while the nights were COMPARE
lively cool.
The amount of rainfall was consider
ably below the normal over most of
the southeast and extreme western
counties, but considerably above the
normal over the east, central and some
OF the east northern counties. The
amount of sunshine was about the
normal
The rains were very beneficial to all
late crops, especially corn and pota-
toes, as they were more or less in need
OF moisture over much of the sections
visited by the heaviest rains.
Corn continues backward on general
average. 1t is in good condition in
many localities, while in others only
fair, but il is thought that the recent
rains will promote continued rapid
growth and development.
Harvesting of small grain is nearly
completed in the most northern and
threshing is general in the southern
counties. The grain has been secured
under favorable weather conditions
throughout the state.

Taylor received a sentence of five

The defendant came into the court
room with his attorneys, and showed
no sign OF faltering, except when
asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pro-
nounced, and the answer II have
not came family. Judge Gaffey
then reviewed the case, stating that,
as it had caused a great deal of COM
ment, a short statement would prob
ably be proper. He thought section
1865, allowing a twenty-one-year
sentence, to be void, and any Judge
who would attempt to sentence IN
der il would be criminally weak. He
thought the general embezzlement
law covered the case and provided
the penalty for such case. and that
laws should be construed for the
best public interest. He stated that
the crime did not consist so much
IN the use Of state funds and loaning
them to friends as it did in collecting
what moneys were left after he found
he could not settle and attempting

The sentencing OF defaulting State

by very prominent lawyer of this
city, who keeps posted on the in
side workings of many things, is that
the appeal to the supreme court will
be argued in October. 1t will then
be placed at the foot of the calendar
and a decision will not be rendered
until after the selection of the next
United States senator, when the su-
preme court will reverse the lower
court and hold the Indictment as
defective. The necessary three years
will have elapsed by that time, and
| Taylor will be a, free man. He
prophesied a while ago that TAYLOR
would get a fve-year sentence. and
struck it exactly.

object is said to be to bring on new
evidence to show that the receivers
are working in collusion with the Hill

port of a motion to oust. and the at
