Hoist Flag of No Import,
WASHINGTON, y. c.. August g.
The State Department officials arc not
IN tho least concerned about the re-
ported intention of Captain Young
and his party of Canadians to raise
tho British flag over Isle Royale, IN
Lake Superior. They point out that
the treaty of 1S42 expressly names
tho channel between Isle Royale and
the Canadian mainland as marking tho
international boundary at that point
in Lake Superior, SO that there could
be no question as to tho American
title Of the island, Moreover tho State
Department has never heard that the
Canadian government ever challenged
that title. The island is gamo pre-
serve In part; includes many rich
vineyards, and Is favorite summer
resort for people from Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul, In the United
States, and from the larger towns of
Alunitoba 4n Canada.

BAIL SUFFICIENT
 10 HOLD BARRON
lt is Uncertain Whether He Will Be Given Second Trial at the Present Term.

When district court opened yesterday morning the attorneys for Lasaro Bar ron, in whose case the jury had dis agreed on Saturday, eight for acquit- tai and four for conviction on a charge of criminal assault upon his thirteen year-old daughter. moved that the second trial of Barron be set over for the term and that he be released on his own recognizance. The district at torney had announced his intention to prosecute the case vigorously
 The court was not inclined to grant the continuance for the term but sug- gested that it might be set for trial on January 2 As to the release of the prisoner on his own recognizance. that was not to be entertained. He fixed his bail at s3000 sum which is about the same as denying to Barron any bail at all. The attorneys for the defense will decide later whether they will be ready to take the matter up at the time suggested by the court.
 In the case of Martin Gold against Jutha A. Van Buren. an action to quiet title. the plaintiff was given. judgment.
