ACCORDING TO TESTIMONY or
FERED AT GRAND FORKS

Lived Says Dead Man Threat
ened to Kill West,
His Slayer.
Special to The Globe.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Feb. 3.-When

the trial of the West case Judge Fisk
announced that after carefully consider
ing the matter he had decided to over
rule the states objection to the admission
Of testimony as to the reputation of Mr.
March, and would allow the testimony to
be introduced at this time.
Harry Blackburn whose testimony on
Saturday had been cut short by the
states objection, then stated that March
had the reputation of being a quarrel
some and vindictive man. He went into
some details of the subject, and on this
point he was very good witness for the
defense. He also retold the story of the
actions of March and West in the Pres
colt just preced ng the shooting
A. Nordeen testified in a similar man
ner as to reputation.
j. j. Marr, travelling man, told a story
which was listened to with great interest
by jury and audience, but which was
afterward ordered stricken out He said
that he had been On familiar terms with
March for a time, and that they had
taken a two weeks trip together over
the same territory, stopping at the same
hotels and occupying the same rooms 1T
the small hotels. He heard March use
threats. On cross examination witness
admitted that he and March had had
some trouble, and that he thought March
had tried to do him injury
c. r. Elgas had asked West why he
shot, and West said he had to, and that
he had done his best to keep away
Several local men called to testify as
to March's reputation said he had the
reputation of being quarrelsome, some of
them called him vindictive, and some of
them considered that he possessed these
qualities only when drinking.
One of the most important witnesses
was Mrs. Addie Connors, cashier Of the
Prescott. Mrs. Connor rooms near the
Earch apartments. On Nov. 20 she heard
March threatening West in the hallway.
Ee said: "I'll fix you,'' West said: You
may kill me, If you like" March re-
Piled: Yes; I'll kill you, kill you, Kill
you"
Judge Fisk has terrible cold, and is
so hoarse that he can hardly speak, but
there is no reason at present to believe
that he will not be able to go on with
the case.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-Prince Henry's pro-

witness the special maneuvers of the
Russian Baltic fleet, and the disclosure
by the Berlin Vorwaerts Of The German
governments recent plans to amplify tho
large naval programme sanctioned by the

circumstances vastly dsquieting to t11la5
school of British politicians which inter
prets every German move as embodying
ultimate danger to the British empire.
There is no doubt that the school in
question, whose principal mouthpiece iS
the National Review, embraces a consid-
cradle number of influential men who
mean to work anremittingly for an Anglo

Sir Edward Grey's remarks in the house

SPEAKER DOWLING

Speaker Dowling's plan is to refer the
bill to the tax committees, have them
meet Jointly afternoons and evenings to
listen to arguments and objections, and
then frame a report recommending such
amendments as they may decide upon
and report the whole thing back to their
respective branches. While the commit
tees are wrestling with the subject mat
ter of the bill proper, the houses may
take up the proposed constitutional
amendments.
Only very small coterie pretends to
expect opposition to the bill as whole.
The great majority of the legislators be-
heve the bill should be passed, but with
amendments There is scarcely a man In
either house who has not an objection
to some clause, which he or his constit-
uents have made a pet aversion. The

what the Reports Say.

The conclusion of the majority report
says it cannot be denied that a large sur
plus furnishes temptation for extravagant
expenditure. While congress may gem
orally be relied upon to keep the national
expenses within reasonable bounds, it
should be relieved from the pressure
which comes with plaus;6 Gle schemes from
every quarter to raid an overtiowing
treasury
The minority report says: While ap-
proving in general the policy Of repeating
the war taxes, we insist that certain tax
es on accumulated wealth should be all
lowed to remain. We refer to such taxes
as are imposed on sugar ana petroleum
ref1ners. The tax of one-fourth of one
per cent on the annual gross receipts of
sugar and petroleum refiners in excess
of $250,000 yields about $1,000 600 annually.
This tax has been paid without demur or
protest, and there is no reason why the
great combinations which monopolize
these businesses and from which colossal
individual fortunes have been built up
should not pay some part Of the national
expenses as we'll as the masses OF the
people who use and consume the various
things which are the subject of customs
and internal revenue taxation. AS the
supreme court has denied to congress the
right to tax incomes Ior the support Of
the government, it is well to place ac-
cumulated wealth under some form of
contribution and we know of none more
just or equitable than a tax such as that
imposed by the war revenue act on oil
and sugar ref1ners."
