BISMARCK MAY BE FUNDLESS.
vetoing Of Appropriation Ordinance
May Leave City Without
EundS
Special to The Evening Times.


Special TO The Evening Tlmes.
Bismarck, Sept. 24.-The message
of Mayor Webb vetoing the appro-
priation ordinance in its entirely was
read at the council meeting Satur-
day night and that body failed to pass
the ordinance over the veto and adj
journed without further action.
Does this action leave the city with
out funds for the ensuing year?
1t was the impression OF the alder
men last night that it did, and en-
phasizes the fact that in their judg-
ment it is impossible to avoid big
tax levy this year.
This view of the law in the case
is not held to be good by attorneys
who were consulted this morning.
They argue that while the first part of
the section governing the annual APP
preparation appears to be mandatory.
the last section makes the time Of
action by the council simply direc-
tory. If this conclusion is correct
there is yet ample time for the pas
sage of a new ordinance.
Section 2756, code of 1905, reads:
The city council shall, at its first reg
ular meeting in September, or with
in ten days thereafter, levy tax for
general purposes sufficient to meet
the expenses of the fiscal year, and
not exceeding twenty mills on the
dollar of the assessed valuation of
property in the city, based upon, and
itemized as in the annual appropria-
ton bill for the year, and in addition
/ thereto. shall levy tax for interest
and sinking fund, as required by this
act, and also sufficient tax for the
payment of any final judgment that
may have been recovered against the
city, and such levy shall be forthwith,
/, and not later than September 20,
| certified by the city auditor, with any
| levy made by the board Of education
| of such city for school purposes, to
the auditor of the county in which
such city is situated. The
levy herein provided for may be made
at the same meeting at which the an
nual, appropriation bill is finally pass
| ed, and the provisions of law fixing
the time at or within which any act
or proceeding in the assessment or
levy of any taxes shall be done or
taken, shall be deemed and held to
be directory and not mandatory.
On the other hand other attorneys
call attention to section 1858 of the
same law which provides for the APP
preparation for city expenses and
makes it mandatory that this action
of the council shall be taken at the
first regular meeting in September or
within ten days thereafter.
If this latter position is held to be
good law it is now too late to pass
an ordinance, as the regular Septem-
Der meeting of the council adjourned
last Tuesday evening, and there is no,
legal time in which to pass new
ordinance.
The mayor has taken counsel with
the city attorney and it is hoped some.
way may be found to secure the much
needed money required for the main.

OF the religious drama. and as a
stage production draws as much from
the religious element in each COM
munity as from regular theater-goers
making its position in the dramatic
field entirely unique. The Sign of
the Gross" is to be presented at the
Metropolitan on Thursday evening, by
Mr.. r. G. Graerin, and is one of the
most costly and elaborate dramatic
productions now touring this country.
The scene of Rome in the time the
prodigal and wanton rule of Nero
swayed are full of color and massive
effects. Special music and dancing
enlivens some of the scenes of wild
luxury in the Roman court, but it is
the portrayal of the life of the lowly
faithful prosecuted Christians that has
served to give to the Sign of the
Cross" its lofty place amony dramatic
successes.

company. Miss Aubrey is stately
beauty of the Gibson type and is in
direct contrast to Miss Helen A. Gil

Count Fortune of the play.
Further contrast can be found in
the golden haired Miss Marie Elmer:
the American beauty Miss Edna West

Kitty St. Clair.
In fact, in conjunction with the
principal dancers. secundos, cory

almost every nationality from all parts

POKER SCANDAL.


Pittsburg, Sept PA scheme
card sharpers from different parts of
burg clubmen from their money re-
when ID. Joseph Johnston, one of the
club was dragged before the police
and forced to disgorge money and
diamonds to the extent of several
thousand dollars, the claim being that
he had swindled this fellow club men,
bers by playing crooked cards. The
Americas club is perhaps the best
known political club in the country,
it being especially famous for its
parading columns at each inaugural or
political meeting. 1t has fully 1000
members, including associate men,
bers in different cities, and has among
it's members some very wealthy men.
For some time past there has been
rumors of card sharpers' work inside
the Americas club, but nothing defin-
lite was brought out until Tuesday in
the police court. An official of the
club admitted that during the past few
months several persons found cheat
ing at cards had been banished from
the club, but this was the first arrest
to be made, johnston came to Pitts
burg from somewhere in the west
about a year ago, and has posed as
broker" but in the police court he
tauntingly admitted to his fellow club
members that he was a card player,
pure and simple. and that he and 9TH
ers had been getting some easy money
from "Pittsburg suckers"
The trouble came over a card game
Monday evening, at which there was
very heavy play. 1t was a stud-poker
game, and within two hours Johnston
had most of the other players money,
and in addition a diamond ring and
stud belonging to Frank Sauers, a
wealthy Allegheny man. At length
Sauers accused Johnston of cheating,
and, grasping his wrist, turned up his
hand, revealing small mirror about
the size of dime attached to the ring
of Johnston's while dealing the
| cards, to see what he was handing to
his opponents, showing him what cards
! his opponents had buried" and giving
him absolute control of the game.
There was fight when this was
found out but Johnston was allow
ed to leave the club. He was arrested
soon after and given a hearing Tues
day, when the finger mirror. marker
and several other devices known to
crooked gambling were found on him.
He was forced to restore to Sauers all
the money he had won from him and
to return the diamonds on which he
had advanced $780, He was also fined
$50 and costs as suspicious person
and warned to leave Pittsburg at once.
1t is claimed by the police that the
wealthy young men of the three lead
ing clubs here have been swindled
out of immense sums by card sharps
in the past few years. Some Of the
officials put the aggregate losses as
high as $1,000,000.
Johnston formerly lived at Litch-
field, ILL.,. where he was an attorney.
His relatives are said to be we'll to
do. He made considerable money in
Cuba during Spanish American war

OUR JUDICIAL CAESAR.

Judge Engerud's explanation" of
his failure or refusal to take his place
upon the bench at the recent session
of the supreme court in this city is
full of high-sounding virtue. The
judges first objection to Judge
knauf is that he is wholly lacking
in the qualifications essential to the
proper discharge of the duties of the
supreme court" and his second OBJ
lection is that his nomination was
secured by political deal in which
the all-important question as to his
qualifications for the place was not
given the slightest consideration"
1t may not be out of place to say
that Judge Knauf's nomination and
subsequent appointment came about
under circumstances very like those
surrounding Judge Engerud's eleva-
ton to the bench two years ago, and
that there is no greater reason to be-
lieve now that Judge Knauf is any
the less lacking in the judicial quail
fication than Judge Engerud was then
The only reason for contrary belief
is furnished by Judge Engerud him
self, who leaves it to be inferred that
there could have been no doubt about
his own fitness in the first instance,
whatever the opinion now may be in
regard to his recent neglect of duty
and his ill-alvised pre-judgment of
Judge Knauf.
Again, ii Judge Engerud's criticism
of Judge Knauf and the manner of his
selection as the republican candidate
is to stand as a just and decent criti-
cism, what is 10 be said of the atti-
tude of Chief Justice Morgan. who
not only accepts the verdict of his
party convention in selecting Judge
Knauf as it's candidate but proceeds
with the regular business of the court
with Judge knauf as his associate?
Approval of the very remarkable
course of Judge Engerud must be
accepted as direct reflection upon
Judge Morgan, who continues in the
performance of his duties and does
not propose to resign.

"explanation" wherein he speaks of

tical service" and the Degradation"

The College Widow.

When it became known that George
AIDE was writing comedy satirical
of college life, the wise acres shook
their heads ominously and declared
the subject impossible of effective
treatment. How far they were wrong
was quickly manifested, for The
College Widow" from it's initial pro-
duction look rank, and has since
held it, as the best of American
plays. 1t is the only piece of its
kind that has been able to renew upon
return engagements its original vogue
in theatrical centers like New York,
Chicago, and Boston. There seems
to be no limit to its popularity in
all sections, and the engagement at
the Metropolitan next month is GER
tain to be one of the consciously
successful ones of the season.

North Dakota farm is deeper plow-
ing. This is especially true of fall
blowing. He gives an illustration of
this in the case of farmer living
in Ramsey county. The land had been
sown to fax for three years and last
fall was plowed nearly twice the
customary depth. 1t was sown to
wheat this spring and yielded seven
teen bushels per acre while adjoin-
ing land which had been plowed in
the ordinary manner yielded but ten.

would seemingly be true when the
drouth comes late in the life of the
wheat plant as it did this year.
If the dust blanket conserves the
moisture passing up from the depth
OF the earth, it is reasonable TO con-
clude that the heavier it is the less
moisture will pass through and there
fore be available for the use of the
plant.
The deep blowing is nothing more

st. Petersburg-Russia is using all
her influence at Berlin to prevent a
rupture between France and Germany.
Her action has been taken at the in
stance of Paris, where the government
is apparently convinced that Germany
proposes to persist in her attitude
even to the point of provoking war.
On account of the close relations ex-
listing between the courts of Berlin
and st. Petersburg, it is believed in
France that Russia will have more in
fiuence upon Emperor William than
any other power. Earnest representa-
lions in favor of concessions to insure
avoidance of an appeal to arms were
accordingly being made, to which Ger
many replied that she had no desire
to provoke war.
Nevertheless, she gave no indica
ton that she proposed to modify her
attitude, and Russia's latest advices
from Algeciras indicate that practical
ly all hope of an agreement had been
abandoned.
