Paris, Dec. 30.--Earl Percy, (Henry
Algernon George) of London. MEM
Der OF the British parliament and for
merly British under-secretary of state
for foreign affairs, died here today
from acute pIeurrsy.
The death occurred at a second
class hotel situated opposite a rail-
way station. and the fact that the
curl had occupied these humble Iodg-
ings created the impression that there
was something mysterious I'm con-
nection with his Illness. 1t was rum
ored that he had been shot I'm a duel
outside OF Paris a few days ago.
These stories were denied today by
the attending physicians. The Motel
management explained that Earl
Percy arrived there last week in per-
feet health. having engaged rooms in
advance. 1t was his custom, IL was
said to stop at this motel whenever he
visited the city. Last Sunday he
experienced a chill, which was follow
ing with congestion and acute pleu-
risy. Two doctors and three English
nurses were called in, and attended
him. A brother and sister were with
him at the end.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Much specula-

influence In Honduras has been such
that recognition of the Madriz govern

natural, is the view of diplomats here.
The intense desire of Costa RIGA for
peace at any price, il Is said might
lead that nation to wish for a settle

GREEK LEf.DER ARRESTED.
Something of a Sensation Sprung at
Grand Forks.

Grand Forks, N. d., Dec. 30.-Some-
thing of a sensation was created among
the Greeks in Grand Forks last eve
ming when A. Toscas, the well known
overseer of the Greeks on the Great
Northern railroad, who makes this city
his headquarters, was placed under ar
rest. Toscas acts as a GO between in
disputes between the Creeks Iaborers
and the railroad, and, from what he
says, his salary comes as levy on the
Greeks, to whom he furnishes his SER
vices. The complaint against Toacas
II made by che Great Northern rail-
road and he is charged with obtaining
property under false pretenses. 1t il
understood. that Tsoscas' offense was
obtaining a number of passes from the
railroad which he proceeded to sell
to other Greeks.
The two Great Northern detectives
who have been working on the matter
arrived in the city yesterday and
warrant was soon out for Toscas' ar
rest. He was placed under arrest by
Sheriff Hanson and two deputies about
5 o'clock in the evening and lodged in
the county jail, where he is awaiting
further disposition of his case. Toscas
stoutly maintains his innocence, and
as on past occasions alleges a con-
spiracy for his undoing. The officers
of the law expected that the Greek,
who is powerful man and rather
quick tempered, would resist arrest,
but he submitted quietly, declaring
that he would soon be free. 1t is ru-
mored that further arrests on the same
charge may be made here.
The Greek Toscas has had a rather
varied and interesting career in the
last few months. He acts as interpre-
ter for the Greeks and was prominently
connected with the so-called peonage
cases at Devils Lake, in which he was
charged by other Greeks with. extorting
money from the more ignorant out of
all proportion to his services. The
charges, however, were not proven,
although the Devils Lake daily, paper
made a vigorous attack on Toscas.
There have also been other charges OF
like nature brought against him but
throughout all Toscas has maintained
that the attacks on him were simply
the work of jealous countrymen who
coveted his job. He will undoubtedly
be given a hearing today.

is IN TROUBLE
OVER "DIXIE"
Mr.. soNNEcK is THREATENED
FOR RATING 1T ABOVE
YANKEE DOODLE"

Washington, Dec s0.-oIs Dixie

That is the uestion which appar-
entity has divided the country into two
camps and brought about a contro-
versy which promises to. become Sec
ond only to the recent great question
of the day:
VINO discovered the north pole?"
The innocent assertion of Otto @. T.
Scnneck, chief Of the division OF music
of the library of congress, in a publi-
cation on American national songs,
that Dixie was more prominent in
patriotic popularity than Yankee
Doodle" has stirred UP a hornets
nest, and even resulted in threats OF
death to Mr.. Sonneck. His Office In
the congressional library has been
swafhped with letters in which the
writer's take exception to the state
rnent about Dixie" Some of these
letters threaten Mr.. sonneck with dire
punishment.
Because the letters have been SO
unpleasant and so numerous, Mr.
Sonneck has repressed further news

popularity stunned up in 1925 was:
Yankee Doodle is the tune,
Americans delight in.
Twill do to whistle, sing or play.
And just the thing for ffghtin'"

Sonneck says. In his work:
For $50 years Yankee Doodle mas
appealed to our people and the tune
shows no sign Of passing into obll-
WON. Surely a tune of such vitality
must have some redeeming features.
This remark is directed against those
who have ridiculed the musical merits
of Yankee Doodle or treated It with
contempt. 1t frankly appeals to our
sense of numor.
Critics. pedantic or flippant, have
overlooked the fact that every nation
has it's humorous, even burlesque.
patriotic airs, and that these are iust
as natural and useful as solemn airs
indeed more so occasionally. AS a
specimen of burlesque, even 'slangy'
musical humor, Yankee Doodle NAV
safely hold it's own against any other

Boston, Dec. S0.-In an address
before the American Anthropolo-

Warren K Moorhead of Philip
Andover academy, said that in
March of this year he was sent by
the department of the interior to
northern Minnesota to study and
report on the condition of the Ojib-

On arrival at White Earth reser-
vation,'' said Professor jkFoorhead,

swindled and robbed out of up
wards of $5.000,00O worth of prop
erty and that they were today
paupers as a result of the practices
of thirty seven individuals and
firms of northern Minnesota.
