COInmitteeOf EXdIniRati0nAc
Cept American Proposition
tOCOnectCOntRactD Debt

The Hague, Sept. General Hor-
ace Porter of the American delega
ton to the peace conference led his
proposition for the collection of con-
tract debts to practically a unani-
nous approval today by the commit
tee of examination, and at the con-
clusion of the meeting he was the
recipient of many congratulations up
on the success of his efforts. 80
The Importance of the American
proposition, it is pointed out, lies in
the principle which it establishes,
rather than in its. practical appli-
cation which may be very seldom.
Gen. Porter met all the objections
raised with ready argument and fin
ally brought all the countries repre-
scented, debtor as well as creditor,
into line with the exception of
Switzerland, which is neither a
debtor nor creditor country.
There is reason to believe that the
Swiss government will sign the con-
vention with reserve regarding the
matter of Jurisdiction il,

Property Near Saltese.
(MiSaOlllian !

(Missoulian.)
The Occur d'Alene American Min
ing company was organized in Mis-
soula yesterday and is an important
addition to the list of local compa-
MES. The company owns a group Of
eight claims, four miles north oil
Saltese, and lying between the Bryan
and the Last Chance and U. ).
groups.
Enough exploration work has been
done on these claims to warrant the
belief that they are valuable factors
in the prosperity of the Saltese dis
trict. There is good ore in the group,
as has been shown by the work that
has been done already and there Is
complete confidence on the part of
the men who are behind the company
that 1t is winning group.
The reports of the experts who
have examined the mines have been
favorable and the company will con-
tinue the development and explora-
tion work that has been going on
there. The work will be prosecuted
as rapidly as it can be done and there
will be mine made there that will
be notable; this Is the belief of those
who are familiar with the property.
The officers of the new company
are: J. l.. Humble, president; George
A. Cook, vice president; J. NJ.
secretary; Josiah Shull,
treasurer.

ARRESTED AND RELEASED
George w. Dubois Has Trouble With
Lumber Company.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
George w. Dubois, formerly agent
for J. H. Queal Lumber company at
Wadena, but lately in the employ OF
the street railway company of Min
neapolis as motorman, was arrested
in the city last Saturday, charged
with embezzlement of $4,000, says
The Wabasso Standard. The arrest
was made at the instance of the
Fidelity & Deposit company of Mary
land.
Dubois has been the agent at Wan
da for the Queal company for nearly
six years and was considered good
man. His crooked work was dis
covered by the company's auditor,
f. c. Barton of this place about four
months ago, and was found to hav
covered a period of several years.
Upon learning that everything was
not right at the Wanda office, MIR.
Barton began thorough investiga'
ton which resulted in the discovery
of the large shortage and at the same
time he notified his company and then
notified the bond company. They sent
a man to Wanda to investigate but
they did not order that an arrest be
made at that time, because, it is
said they hoped that Dubois might
be able to make up the stort,
age, but this he seemed unable
to do. His plan seems to have been
to collect from debtors and fail tc
give credit on the books to the party
paying and also fail to remit to the
company the amounts collected, and
before these amounts got so old as
to receive the attention of the au-
ditor he would collect others and cred
it those not RENTED. Dubois is mar
ried and has three children.
1t is understood that the defendant
was released on a technicality.

COL. NEFF AT THE GAME
He Speaks Highly Of Everybody Who
Took Part.


Colonel Neff witnessed the ball
game in this city last Saturday be-
tween his home team and the Young
Mems Christian association nine. He
wrote ND the contest as follows in
The Union:
The game of ball between the Young
Mems Christian association OF Man
kato and Lake Crystal aggregation
PLAYED on the grounds of the former
last Saturday afternoon resulted in a
decided victory for the Lake boys by
a score of to ]. At the ninth in
ming the score stood l to l, so it
was necessary to play tenth inning
and it was quickly done. Our boys
were not sure of winning but were
confident while the Young Mems
Christian association boys were
not confident but were sure. There is
many a slip betwiXt the cup and the
lip and this was one of them.
This defeat of the Young Mems
Christian association is the first IN
thirteen games that they have played
this year. Our boys had been warn
ed against the Mankato club by a
member of the Young Mems Christian
association and remarked that they
did not wish to discourage our boys
but meant to give them timely notice
1t didn't discourage our club in the
least but added determination to win
at all hazards.
1T was good game but not free
from a good deal of roofing on the
part of the friends of the Mankato
team. Occasionally when the Lake
boys made some sharp play, our
friend. passenger Conductor Wort2
would roll over on one side, as we
Law on the grass, and call out to the
Mankato crowd, why don't you laugh
There was broad grin on the face OF
each one but stiffness pervaded the
atmosphere about the bunch.
s'Some of the Mankato people after
the game was finished, expressed
themselves as pleased at the turn
affairs had taken, but we rather
think that if their favorite team ha'
won it would have suited them better
We are all born that way. There are
no hard feelings on our side because
we defeated the Young Mems Christ
ian association They are nice
bunch of boys. We should have come
home just as happy if our boys had
been beaten because they did nicely
We have faith in our boys. They are
not perhaps the best in the state
but it takes a mighty smart bal
club to do them.
"Our boys were the guests of the
Young Mems Christian association and
after the game the two clubs re-
turned to the building and took baths
Such a place to battle! There's moth
