NO PLANS FOR HELPING JEWS
Stats Department Finds No Basis for Action
in Kishinsf Affair
cABlEGRAM SAYS JEWS FORBIDDEN ARMS
Similar Action TO that Taken in
Case of ROumRnia May
he the Method
Adopted.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-None of the
many resolutions relative to the Kishineff
outbreak adopted yesterday at various
places in the United States has reached the
State department and the officials have
nothing new before them upon which to
proceed. 1t is not known whether further
instructions have been sent to our embassy
at ST. Petersburg. SO far the department
has only newspaper clippings regarding the
Kishineff massacre and 1t scarcely feels au-
thorized to move upon that basis even II
1t had the power to do so. ....
Admitting a desire to investigate in dis
regard of the formal assurance of the Rus
sian government to Ambassador McCor-
mick, the department would probably have
to content itself with the sworn state
ments of refugees from Kishinef.
To procure information through the
American embassy or the American con-
suls in Russia would probably render our
diplomatic agents persona non grata in case
they should cast doubt upon the official
Russian statements.
CabIcgrRm From Russia.
The brief cablegram from St Petersburg
today might open the way for diplomatic
action on the part of the United States in
this matter. That statement said the Rus
sian government had forbidden the Jews to
arm or defend themselves with a deliberate
purpose Of forcing them to emigrate to the
United States, for nowhere in Europe could
they find refuge. Such action would be
similar to that taken by the Roumanian
government upon which the State depart
ment laid down the Monroe doctrine, that
the dumping of hordes of emigrants likely
to prove paupers on our shores was obnox-
ious to the United States.
In this connection it may be worth noting
that in spite of the vigorous protests
against Roumanias action contained in the
State departments circular note to the
powers the Reumanan government never
admitted our right to interfere even on the
basis of immigration and conditions con-
tinue very much as they were so far as the
Jews in Roumania are concerned.

In Sore Need of a Crossing.

AS this city grows more metro
politan, the fact seems to impress
itself more forcibly on the minds
of our citizens, that the Great
Northern should establish a cross
ING over its tracks that the people
residing north Of the river. may
pass across them without en-
dangering their lives. The rail
road company will never do this
without some vigorous action
on the part OF the citizens OF Mi
not. A petition to the city co'ln-
Gil to have them take some ac-
tion, might have something to
do with hurrying this along. The
company should establish gates
and employ a gateman to keep
people from the tracks during
the passing of trains.

TO DETERMINE FINE
POINT IN LAW
Martin O'Laughlin Filed on Laud Near Ken
mare But Peter Wallin, Squatter
Causes Trouble Both Men Have Made
Improvements on Farm.

In interesting land case will
come up before the next term of
district court which will deter
mine a fine point in law. Martin
O'Lauehlin sometime ago filed
on Il fine quarter section Of land
near Kenmare but Peter Wallin
claims to have squatted on the
land prior to the filing OF o.
Laughlm and Wallin both did
breaking on the land last spring
and both had crops putin. Both
established good residences on
the land. Now O'Laughlin has
brought an injunction against
Wallm to show cause why Wallin
should not be restrained from in
terfering with the crops or the
possession of the land. 1t brings
up the question whether or not
the receivers receipt at the time
OF filing determines the right
which such a receipt is intact and
valid. 1t will determine Just what
rights a squatter has III such q
case. There are a number OF
similar Instances in this county.
Another fine point which will be
determined, will be to know
whether the district court can 90
back Of the receipt and inquire
into the relative rights OF the
parties under the homestead law.
LeSueur & Bradford are attor-
neys for O'Laughlin.

Collector Davis Advice to
District Taxpayers.
COLLECTION BEGINS FRIDAY
New Methods Employed in Making
Out Bills Which Will Expedite
Work for Clerks and Citizens.

L. &. Davis, Collector OF Taxes. has
announced to the District Commission
ers everything is in readiness for the
collection of taxes. Under the require
ments of law real estate and personal
taxes are due and payable on May L
Thirty days are allowed before any pen
atty attaches for on-payment, but on
June i penalty of / per cent viii be
added to all tax bills then remaining IN
paid
In order 10 better acquaint people
with the fact that their taxes are due,
Mr.. Davis has requested the Commits
sioners to advertise the collection Of
taxes according to law, which the Board
has approved,
There was no payment OF taxes in No
vember last year, the work of assess
ment not having been finished at that
time BY special act Of Congress the
option Of payment then was eliminated
and the full tax for the year, both per-
sonal and on real estate, will be due
next Friday, when the collecting be-
gins.
Payment Much Simplifed.
In accordance with the plan worked
out by Il. H DarneIlIe. the Assessor.
the payment of taxes has been much
simplified IN recent years. Tax bills are
made out in advance in the Assessor 5
Office. and arranged in boxes in alpha
beticaI order When the taxpayer ar
rives at the District Building he applies
at the window in the Assessors Office
for his bill. which is found in a moment
by clerk It is then presented for pay
ment in the Office of the Collector. ths
entire time required not being more
than FIVE minutes.
In former times the bills were made
ont upon the application of the taxpayer,
while he stood waiting to receive them
Overworked clerks often made mistakes.
and the time II the Commissioners is
now consumed Strengthening out blum
deTs made years ago under the Old plan.
Under the present arrangement the bills
are made out leisureIy, the clerks hav-
Ing time to check them off and verify
the amounts. This avoids mistakes and
is a great convenience to the taxpayer.
Shouldn't Wait Till Last Days.
The usual experience has been that the
taxpayers put of settling their bills IN
til the last days OF May That brings a
crush to the Offices TO avoid the 1 per
cent penalty. and ire department is Of
ten overwhelmed with the opportunities
of those seeking TO pay their taxes in
the last four days OF the month, when
there have been twenty or more other
days in which payment could have been
made.
Nr. avis hopes the taxpayers Will
profit from past experience and come
early in the month this year There is
need of this. he says. for several rea-
sons.
The full tax is to be collected, and the
Office has a much larger amount Of cash
TO handle. This viii take time. The
accounts are larger and more figuring is
required to place the accounts in shape
The crush at the end of May will be all
the more aggTayating if the payment OF
taxes is deferred until then Mr.. Davis
hopes many will take advantage OF the
cooler weather and smaller crowds to
pay their taxes in the first and second
weeks of the month
