Not souIess Corporations.

Leonard Erickson of Fergus Falls
has been informed that the insurance
companies in which he had decided
to place the $4,000 insurance ordered
by Bye & Setter the night before the
fire have decided to assume the liabili-
ity and pay their full proportion of the
loss, the same as they would have done
had the policies been actually made
out. AS the firm carried $1,000 in adj
dition to this $4,000 this will mean
that they will have $4,000 insurance,
and while this by no means covers
their loss, it will help very materially.
The $4,000 policy is to be divided be-
tween two companies each assuming
$1,000 liability.

CASE ON TODAY
ACTION AGAINST JAP REsTAU-
RANT KEEPER CHARGED WITH
KEEPING GIRL FOR IMMORAL

CROWD TO JUSTICE COURT.

Many spectators were present this
afternoon at the trial of Henry Fujita,

apartments for immoral purposes. The
trial was held before Judge H. F.
Miller in the police court rooms at the
city hall, and the Jap walked nom
chalantly into the room, bowed to his
many friends present and chatted
gaily with his attorney, Taylor Crum.
Counsel for the defense entered a
request that the defendant be released
from custody on the plea that he had
been arrested without due process OF
law, and on hearsay and rumor. The
procedure of his arrest was stated to
be in violation of the statutes and con-
stitution of the state of North Dakota
and contrary to decisions of the United
States supreme court. Counsel for the
defense further stated that anyone
testifying to hearsay evidence was
guilty of perjury, and upon this he
called for the complaining witness.
Lillian G. Topping, matron Of the
Florence Crittenton home, to take the
stand to excuse the defendant.
To avoid the motion, the states at
torney filed another complaint identi-
cal with the original, and the trial
proceeded without further delay. Harry
Imai, night clerk at the Waldorf hotel,
acted as interpreter.
The courtroom was filled to overflow
ing with Fujita's large following Of
friends and the sixteen witnesses sub
poenaed by the defense.
The case was still on at the time of
going to press and will not be con-
cluded until late this afternoon.

turbanCe Last Night
TREMORS OCCURRED ABOUT
1000 FEET BELOW SEA LEVEL

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The belief
that tidal wave, or perhaps several
such Manifestations occurred in the
Atlantic Ocean about 1000 miles east
of Washington Is expressed today by
Father Torndori. of Georgetown Uni
versity after examining the seismo-
graph records made by an extraor-
binary disturbance last night.
The tremors continued from S.45
to 9.33 p. m. and the most rema 'ka-
bic feature of the record was that IL
showed a vertical movement equal 10
the horizontal disturbance. The nee
die which registers up heavals of the
earths crust, moved almost simgl-
taneously with the needle which rec
ords horizontal disturbance. It is
estimated that the tremOrs probably
occurred az a depts of 1000 feet be-
low sea level.
