trade with the Philippines for tobacco.
and sugar are the views OF President
elect Taft, is the freely expressed be-
lief in the ways and means committee
room of the house at the hearing on
the sugar schedule of the tariff today.
Secretary Wright's familiarity with
the industrial situation in the Ameri
can Asiatic insular possessions leads
to the belief that he will disclose some
interesting facts when he appears be-
fore the committee later
The secretary took occasion to at
tack the sugar trust and there Is much
speculation among those who follow
closely the tariff hearings as to what
effect his remarks will have on the
readjustment of the sugar schedule in
the tariff bill.
Chairman Payne OF the committee
intimates the Philippine tariff question
may be taken up as separate hearings
on the proposed revision.

GERMANS WATCH
KAISER'S CONDUCT
DOUBT EXPRESSED IN oERMANNe,
AS TO WHETHER EMPEROR
WILL KEEP HIS PLEDGE,

Berlin, Nov. 1S-The results of the
presentations made to Emperor William
yesterday by Chancellor Won Buelow
and the consequent imperial pledge to
keep both speech and acts within close
constitutional bonds are measured in
colder mood by the people Of Ger
many today. The emperor is still much
isolated from the sympathies of 10th
the upper and lower levels of society
The talk among the friends Of the;
chancellor and ministers to-day was
that they must wait and see how the
emperor acts when the next keenly i'm
portant public question comes up. 4
doubt is expressed as whether ut t.
age OF so, the emperor's impulsiye and
candid disposition can be SO modified
by the events of the past fortnight,
that he will depart from a practice he
has followed during the twenty years
of his reign.
Prince Won Buelow and his party
will pursue an opportunist's policy, af-
firming resolutely that imperial con-
duct will faithfully follow the imper-
ial word.

RHODES gets
A new TRIAL
Fargo Telegraph Operators
Appeal Granted
JUDGE POLLOCK REVERSED
SUPREME COURT THIS MORNING
GRANTED CLAYTON RHODES,
SENTENCED TO TEN YEARS AT
BISMARCK FOR CRIMINAL AS
sAULT, A NEW TRIAL.

Clayton Rhodes is to get a new trial.
The supreme court of North Dakota
in a decision handed down this morn
ing, reversed the judgment of Judge
G. A. Pollock today and sent the case
back to the Cass county district court
for a new trial.
Rhodes was a Fargo telegraph op-
orator who was convicted Of the crime
OF criminal assault and sentenced by
Judge Pollock to serve ten years in
the state penitentiary. This decision
was rendered last summer and as soon
as 1t was given, Attorney Tilly, who
was Rhodes attorney in the case
made a motion for a new trial and
when this was denied he took an ap-
peal to the state supreme court.
Grounds for Appeal.
The complaining witness in the case
was Ida Koebernick, who alleged that
Rhodes entered her room and assault
ed her at the point of a revolver.
Rhodes denied this charge anj
claimed that the girl was a party tc
the crime and he attempted to prove
that the girl was of immoral charac.
ter. 1t was on these grounds that thu
appeal was taken
The girl has only been working IL
Fargo a short time. Her home Is IL
Minnesota and it is stated that sht
has returned to that state and it ma!
| be impossible to get her to attend an
other trial as a witness. In that cas-
| Rhodes acquittal Is probable.
| Attorney E. H. Wright who was as
ISOLATED with Attorney Tilly in Rhodes
case, will now take full charge of th'
| case.

most deplorable accidents occurred to
John l.. Bakken a well known resident
of this place. who has been acting as
engineer at the Thomas Nordby saw
mill on the south side of the Missouri

that Mr.. Bakken was in the act OF
reaching over to dislodge some bark
and sawdust that was clogging the
saw. when the NIT on his right hand
came in contact with the set screw
on a revolving shaft and his arm was
wound around 1t, crushing and break
ing that member below the shoulder,
while at the same time his body was
thrown In the air in such manner
that his right foot came in contact
with the saw, cutting tt off at the in
step. He was attended by a physician
who chanced to be In the neighborhood
and was later taken to Ray where he
was given further treatment. He was
then taken to the hospital at Williston
where the arm was arnputated just
below the elbow and what remained Of
the foot put In the best condition pos
sible.
