united STATES IS
GREAT NAVAL power

Washington, May 1.-THE United
States leads the world in the dis.
placement Of completed warships,
with the single exception OF Great
Britain, but is behind five other coun-
tries in the number of such vessels.
Adding to these completed war craft
the ships provided for but not com
pleted, this government outranks all
others, except the British, in total
displacement, but ranks fifth in num-
Der. Reckoning the war vessels built
and building, the United States and
Germany are running on equal terms,
but the former is leading in displace-
ment when the ships provided for in
the pending naval appropriation bills
are added to the calculation. Great
Britain, the United States and Ger
many remain leading naval powers.
These warship ratings facts are
set forth in tables which Pitman HUI
sify, compiler Of the navy year book,
has prepared.

building?

building?
find that under the statute it is
necessary to submit to the voters of
Bismarck the question whether the
city should be given the power to
create a bonded Indebtedness for this
purpose. An election has been held
and the result is that the citizens
have conferred upon the city the
power, which it did not otherwise
possess, of mourning the indebted
ness and issuing bonds therefor. This,
in my. opinion, is the utmost scope
of the popular vote. 1t does not pur-
port to direct the city to erect the
building, nor do think that the citi-
zens have any power to give any such
direction. This is business ques-
ton and wisely conf1ded to the dis
erection of the governing body OF the
city, to-wit, the commissioners. All
that has been done is that the city
has been given power to borrow mon
ey for this purpose, but whether 1t
will exercise the power and 60 on
with the project rests exclusively
with the governing body OF the city.
| do not believe a court would com.
pei the commissioners to issue bonds
without also competing them to go
on and erect the building. To do the
latter would be an encroachment up
on the administrative discretion of
the governing body of the city. AS
the building IL not to be erected, the
money ought not to be borrowed up
on the bond of the city, and whether
the building shall be erected or not
is matter that the people have not
decided and cannot decide, and Is GER
tainly a matter that the court cannot
decide for the commissioners.
The recent decision Of the supreme
court of this state in the 18th North
Dakota, relating to school bonds,
do not regard as in point, for there
the statute in the plainest terms
made it the duty of the board to issue
the bonds Immediately upon their
being voted by the people. find no
such provision in the law relating to
cities and hence the case referred to
is not in point.
Very truly yours,
GUY c. H. CORL1SS.

A LAD OF MYSTERY.

THAT Awful Boy JONES'" Who Tor.
nsntsd Queen Victoria.
For a little while about the middle
Of the nineteenth century that awful
boy Jones' was the torment Of Queen
Victoria's life, and his short career in
public contains mystery which
would try the mettle Of Sherlock
Holmes.
He was a BARRIERS apprentice who in
some unexplained way discovered a
passage into Buckingham palace, with
which he alone was acquainted. When
he was first found trespassing he was
gently admonished and sent home.
Soon after he was encountered again
in the palace He would not tell how
he obtained access. Again he was sent
home, and again he reappeared.
Once he calmly admitted that he had
been lodging in the palace for fort
night. He had laid snug during the
day, sleeping in the royal apartments,
and at night had wandered from room
to room, helping himself to the food
left over from royal repasts. He had
seen the queen repeatedly and indeed
had never been far from her.
The matter was considered so seri-
GUS that the boy was summoned be-
fore a special meeting Of the privy
council. he refused to give any &C.
count Of his secret. Soon after he dis
appeared, and it is supposed that he
was removed under state protection

Grant In the Saddle.

Grant was at his best in the saddle.
The one real record that he made for
himself at the academy, the one time
that he excelled all his fellows, was
at the final mounted exercises Of his
graduating class, when, riding a IA
nous horse named York. he was called
upon to clear the leaping bar that the
gruff old riding master had placed
higher than mans head. He dashed
out from his place in the ranks, a
smooth faced, slender young fellow
on a powerful chestnut sorrel. and
galloped down the opposite side Of the
hall, turned and went directly at the
bar, the great horse increasing his
pace as he neared it, and then, as If
he and his rider were one, rising and
clearing it with magnificent bound.
The leap is still recorded at the acade-
my as "Grant's upon York."-St. Mich
olas.

This reference to the champions Of

The witness said he gave two cop
les of his memorandum to the presi-
dents secretary and one to the attor-
ney general, and had not given. one
to Secretary Ballinger. He produced
the original which he said he obtaini-
ed from the White House Saturday
morning.
Confidential letters which passed be-
tween Ballinger and r. H. Thompson
city engineer of Seattle last SPRING
and summer, were read by Stenograph-
er Kerby to bear out his contention
that Thomson was not a fit man to.
be director Of the reclamation service.
The letter related to a trip to
Alaska which Ballinger had suggested
Thompson should take as an expert,
In the summer of 1909, with George
w. Perkins, Of the J. P. Morgan Co.,
to make some investigation with
view to establish a railroad for the
development of mineral lands.
Mr.. Ballinger wrote Thompson he
had recommended him to Mr.. Perk-

Senator Root charged that Mr.. Bran
deis' whole line of inquiry was a CO.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 17.-Today's
state primary election returns ind1'
cate that a majority of republican
REGULARS" in congress have been re-
nominated.
One striking feature of the general
primaries, however, is the apparent
defeat of Gen. J. Warren Keifer, for
mer speaker of the house, in the sew
enth district. The campaign against
Gen. Keifer was made largely on his
alleged statement that schedules in
the tariff bill recently passed "were
not high enough" Early reports
seem to show his defeat by DR.. R.
M. Hughey. The democratic delega-

Bismarck, N. D.
Dear Sir:
After a very careful study of the
question which you submitted to me
for an opinion, have reached the
following conclusions, which I shall
briefly state:
l find that the power to erect any
public building is vested exclusively
in the governing body of the city,
which at present, in Bismarck, is the
board of city commissioners.
In the erection Of public buildings,
two questions are involved. First
Has the city ability to raise the mon
ey by taxation or by mourning debt?
Second-Shall the city, although it
has the ability to raise the money,
enter upon the erection of a public
