himself able to converse huently In

Many persons have forgotten both
Berkmann and his crime, yet they

the gigantic struggle with its work.

best supported by a report made on

MADAME JUSSERAND
AMERICAN GIRL WHO MARRIED
A FRENCHMAA, NON IN
DIPLOMATIC SWIM.

French Ambassador at Washington
Given Position Largely on account
Of Elfe's NatiVity-New Embassy
Building Projected.
How much a wife can do TO helm
her husband In public career is con
Vlncingly proven by the married life
OF Madame Jusserand, the American
wife OF the French Ambassador at
Washington. Indeed NJ. Jusserand
was selected by the Government of
France to act as the accredited agent
OF our sister republic at Uncle Sans
headquarters largely because OF the
fact that he had an American wife
who 1t was believed Juld be of
great assistance TO him In handling
any negotiations which might have 10
be carried on between the twos ma
tlons.
Madame Jusserand, although Am
erican born, spent most of her life
up TO the time of her marriage. In
France. That she was thus an exile
from the land of the Stars and Stripes
was due to the fact that her father,
MIR. Richards, was an American bank
er In Paris, and thus his business In
terests compelled him to reside al
most continuously at the French can
ital. His daughter was educated on
the banks Of the Seine and speaks
French quite as readily as she does
English.
Her husband has a great admiration
Tor the American people-possibly be-
cause he is so fond of his wife. He
Is an author Of note and has trans
lated several American l. erary works
Into French. Prior to coming to
Washington, NJ. Jusserand and his wife
resided in Copenhagen, the capital Of
Denmark, where NJ. Jusserand acted
as the envoy Of his government.
His promotion to Washington was
decided advance in rank and carries
with 1t a big increase in salary.
AN INSEPARABLE COUPLE.
Both N. Jusserand and his Yankee
helpmate are very genial and hospit-
able, but they are manfestly much

wrapped up in each other. Indeed,
when the French Ambassador visited
the st. Louis Exposition alone by
reason of the fact that Madame Jusse-
rand was prevented from accompany
Ing him because Of an abscess on her
forehead it was the first time in their
married life that they had ever been
separated, even for a few days.
Madame Jusserand Is rather dark
complexioned and in many respects
has the appearance of a typical
French woman. She is a firm be-
lever in outdoor life as a source of
health and pleasure. When in Wash
ington or at their summer home on
the coast of Massachusetts she and
her husband daily indulge in long
walks and spend hours playing tennis.
Madame Jusserand Is a most charit-
ably disposed woman and since her
arrival In America has constantly but
inconspicuously aided many causes
She has no children, but on several
occasions she has given parties at her
home for the French children residing
at the national capital
NEW FRENCH EMBASSY.
The lady Is looking forward to hav-
ing the privilege of fitting up a new
French Embassy at Washington that
will be in keeping with the dignity
Of our sister republic. For years the
"branch office" of France in the
United States was located in an old
residence In Washington that was at
one time the home of Admiral Porter
Then a few years ago the French es-
tabllshment was moved to the house
owned by Bellamy Storer-the house
which President Roosevelt leased lust
after his election as Vice President
and before he had any thought that
he would be called upon to go to the
White House when he took up his
residence in the city on the Potomac

THE ARMY TRANSPORT.
PACIFIC SQUADRON Is A MODEL
FOR HANDLING THE GOVERN
MEKT'S TROOPS.

Private Steamship Companies Said
to be Unequal TO the Task oi Trans
porting soldier Boys-The Cost is
Greater.
Along the Pacific Coast the army
transport service in operation with the
Philippines and intermediate points, is
not regarded with favor. Private
steamship companies covet the bust
ness which is now being done by the
dozen and half vessels making up the
transport fleet.
During the last fiscal year the Sheri-
dan, Sherman, Thomas, Logan aud
Dix carried to Honolulu, Guam and
Manila $1,000 passengers, 10000 tons
OF freight, S60,S63 pounds of United
States mail, and $2,47S0O0 in United
States money, besides a considerable
amount Of Philippine pesos coined IN
the San Francisco mint; and in Jan
uary, 1906, the schedule was doubled
that Is, instead of one sailing a month
there are now two.
The army prefers to do its own
frei Int and passenger business on e
Pacific for the following reasons:
Primarily, private companies secur-
ing contracts could not furnish the ser
vice desired without specially CON
structed vessels, an expense which,
though demonstrated absolutely neces-
sary by experience, they would not
undertake owing to the uncertainty Of
the traffic.
Secondly, the present service is
found more economical, the cost Of
operation last year amounted to $780,
OOO. less than the lowest estimate pre-
scented by any Of the private con
Germs bidding for the business.
Lastly, the exigencies of the service
which might at any moment demand
the rapid transportation of large ship
ments of troops and supplies would
necessitate the holding in reserve of
a considerable number of vessels, an
impossibility to a private steamship
company which Is forced by cOmpeti-
ton to operate with strictest economy.
COMBINED COMFORT AND
CAPACITY.
In explanation of the first of these
reasOns-the average transport is a
type, Of marine construction peculiarly
individual. While exteriorly it has all
the appointments of a modern ocean
going steamer, it differs essentially in
its interior arrangement. The trans
portation of large numbers of troops
across an ocean distance Of 1000
miles, the greater part of this mileage
lying within the tropics, demands the
best possible ventilation and santa
ton. The sleeping accommodations
for soldiers are between decks, and the
entire space allotted for this purpose
is often from end to end. Metal
berths in tiers of three, one above the
other, make the place resemble a
giant honeycOmb. Shower baths, read
ing and recreation rooms are pro-
yided, and a regularly equipped hos.
pital with isolation wards is in charge
of a surgeon and assistants drawn
from the army Medical Corps and the
Hospital Corps. These quarters arc

Made Him Sign Up

Minot Reporter: Philip G1unt, a far
mer living five miles northwest of
Berthold, arrived in the city yester-
day with a story of how he had been
brutality assaulted yesterday forenoon
by two of his neighbors and, forced to
sign, a check under the threat that
he would be killed if he did not do
so. Glunt told his story to States
Attorney George tMcGee AMID the
two men who committed the assault
will be placed under arrest today.
According to the story, told by
Glunt, he was at his farm and just
on his way from the barn to the
house when he was met by his two
neighbors, brothers by the name of
Furley. They asked him to sign a
check for 10, claiming that he owed
them that amount of money. The
old, man, he appears to be a man
over sixty, denied that he owed the
amount and the two brothers then
tried to compel him to give an order
ON the Berthold bank for the amount
They got the old man into the barn
and when he continually refused to
sign they beat him numerically and
threatened to kill him if he did not
write the order. The old man stated
that he believed they meant to kill
him and wrote an order. He however
wrote on the order that he was writ
ing it under force. The two men then
took the $19 order and drove as fast
as they could to Berthold. Mr.. Glunt
hitched up his team as soon as he was
able and drove to town. He went
straight to the bank but found that
the banker had cashed his order and
that the two men had obtained the
money. He then came to Minot to
see the state attorney and lay COM
plant before him. Mr.. Glunt also
stated that these two brothers sown
the place he is living on. He had a
lease of the. place and although this
has not expired the two Furley broth
ers have ordered him to get off,
threatening to kill him if he did not

VALLEY OF THE PHARiSEES.
Was[hIburn, Jan.

-, Washburn, Jan. II. 81
Editor Tribune: Every now and
then it is the pleasure of the Red
River Valley papers to make a Scrack
about the. fracture of the prohibition
law on the Missouri Slope as though
this section was especially wicked in
that respect. To those familiar with
the situation this penchant of the val
ley folks smacl2s loudly of the old cry
of "stop thief" and is apparently used
to throw dust in the eyes Of the
world as to the true situation. But
a glance over the newspapers of the.
valley counties, week after week,
shows arrest after arrest of blind
piggers and in some counties the To-
cal papers are full of accounts of the
open and notorious violations of the
law. ~
It is true there are plenty of pigs
on the slope, perhaps as may as in
the valley, but it is also true that
many of these establishments are run
by men who have graduated from
the hell holes of the valley counties,
who have brought with them ali the
worst characteristics of such low
down groggeries. While not defend
ing any violator OF the law, Dit is but
tair to say that the pigs run by resi-
dents of the slope maintain some
semjblance of decency while those
maintained by the outcasts OF the val
ley would put the blush of shame on a
Bowery dive. II the joints these Red
river fellows run in these parts are
a sample of those run in the Valley,
it is little wonder the newspapers are
trying to divert attention from them,
1t is not true that piggers cannot
be convicted ON he Slope. During
the recent term OF court In Mclean
county the seven piggers arrested re-
ceiVed heavy lines and jail sentences;
two pleading guilty and five being
convicted BY jtIries. Many places were
raaded but owners escaped, while
still others made haste to- close up
and vamoose ALL the virtues do not
rest in the Red River Valley yet.
! All laws are as well enforced on the
Slope as in any other part of the state.
