ing an active war against the box a
dealers who r bringing impure foods
into the state. The men have been
chased out Of Minnesota by the pure
food officials and seek to make North

OFFICIALS TAKE up MATTER
Representations to Washington Re-
garding Seizure Of Islands.
Gunboat QuirOs Takes Possession of
Property Long Under British
Administration.

London, Sept. 1.-THE British for
eign Office is said to have made represen-
tations at Washington aneDt the recent
seizure of two or three islands off the
northeast coast Of British North
Borneo by the United States gunboat
Quiros. These islands are not connected
with these off the coast Of Sandakan
Capital of British North Borneo), over
which the American flag was recently
hoisted.
The Quiros is stated to have lately Wis
tied a port on the northeast coast of Bor-
neo and to have thence steamed to OAR
vel bay, an important center in Borneo,
$50 miles southwark. There the seiz-
ure is said to have occurred. The islands,
which have been under British admins
tration for the last rs years, were origin
ally infested by pirates, who were driven
out by the chartered company OF
Borneo. The action Of the Quiros was
brought to the attention of the foreign
Office, which then took the matter up.

at any time to have apitched battle with
him. He is heavily armed with a shot
gun and revolvers. Just before killing
his father-in-law he purchased SO
rounds of cartridges for the gun.
Hoffman is an unerring marksman,
strong, athletic, and, the officers be-
lieve, driven to ~recknessness by whisky
and his imaginary troubles. Before he
murdered Brandt he told Henry Papes:
In one hour there will be a warrant
out for me. But look out. I will shoot
you or Tom Ruch or anybody else who
tries to arrest me-" Hoffman's wife
says that as he left he declared: 81
must kill two more people, then my
self. II the sheriff or his deputies try
to arrest me, l must also kill them"
Sheriff Ruch thinks Hoffman is hid
ing in the woods near his home at Rock
Cliffs. He and his deputies are heavily
armed and prepared to shoot the fugi-
tive at sight. This entire section of
Monroe county is terrorized, as the fu-
gitive is regarded as desperate. 1t is
not known who are the other two per-
sons he intended to kill, and both men
and women are so badly frightened that
many will not leave their homes with
out arms.
1t is supposed that Hoffman's motive
for killing his father-in-law was that
the old gentleman refused to increase his
weekly allowance. DR.. Brandt was
quite wealthy and has been practically
supporting his son-in-law and family.
He gave Hoffman a certain amount of
spending money each week.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
Bankers

The North Dakota Bankers associa-
ton was organized at Grand Forks.
Officers were elected for the ensuing
year, and a constitution and bylaws
adopted.
The friends of many of the North
Dakota institutions were of the firm
belief that one object of the conven
ton of the state bankers was to take
some action regarding the sore straits
the institutions are in for funds, and
that the men of money would reach an
agreement to handle the institution
bonds regardless ofathe action of the
state supreme court declaring them
illegal.
All hopes Of any such action by the
bankers, however, has been shattered.
On presenting the matter to them they
were all of one mind regarding the
proposition, namely, that no banker
would be foolish enough to accept a
collateral which the supreme court had
decided was not good. One man seemed
to express the idea of the half dozen or
who were asked for an opinion,
by saying that the bankers received
enough worthless paper without TAX
ing some they knew was not good.
Those who expressed themselves or
the subject agree that a special session
seemed to be the only way out of the
difficulty. And they were also of the
opinion that the man who started the
report that the bankers would tide
over the shortage until a session of the
legislature had done so, vas certainly
not in earnest, and intended it for a
ioka

boxes, cigarette and tobacco packages,
J. R. McPike, manager of the cigar de-
partment of a wholesale grocery store,
submitted to arrest and was brought be-
fore Judge Blanchard of the supreme
court on a writ of habeas corpus sued out
by his counsel. The warrant on which
he was arrested charged him with having
exposed for sale and sold two boxes of
cigars containing advertising matter on
which the flag appeared. Counsel for
Mr.. Pike maintained the law was uncon-
stitutional, as it deprived the citizen of
his liberty of employment and occupa-
ton in carrying on his business on legiti-
mate methods. He also contended that
the act interfered with the federal law as
to trademarks and was destructive of
property; and further that it was uncon-
stitutional, as it interfered with the com
merce of other states. Any question in
volving the use of the American flag,
either for advertising or other
he also held, was not a subject for the
action Of the legislature of New York or
any other state, but solely within the
purview of congress, as it was a matter
of federal sovereignty and not state SOW
e%reignty.
Judge Blanchard said that in order to
allow a speedy appeal and an early deci-
sion on the matter, he would parole Mr.
McPike until Friday, when he will enter
a pro forma order dismissing the writ,
thus UNFOLDING the constitutionality of
the act. Mr.. McPike's counsel said that
the appeal would be taken as soon as
Justice Blanchard's order was signed.
The penalty prescribed by the law is a
fine of 500 or Imprisonment for 80 days,
or both fine and imprisonment.

Notwithstanding the failure of the
issue of 500, 600 of bonds authorized
by the last legislature for the erection
of IN addition to the state capitol
building, the capitol commissioners
hope to be able to find q way, out of
the difficulty and provide for the cree
ton and completion of the addition by
the time the legislature meets again in
regular session. Owing to the late
ness of the season the addition cannot
be completed this year, but the COM
m~issioners have decided to complete
the basement and foundation. this fall,
out of the money in the capital build
ing fund. This fund arises from the
sale of the $4,000 acres of land given
by congress to the state for its capitol
buildings. Unlike the other institu-
ton funds, the direct proceeds of the
sales of its land may be used for state
capitol buildings. This is provided by
the enabling act, and the status of the
fund and the lands was laid down in
the bond decision of the supreme court.
