this was not of an important char
acter, although it is believed that he
succeeded in getting documents of
value to those who employed him out
Of the country. He is regarded by
the German naval authorities as a
most dangerous spy connected with
an institution whose activities COW
er all the shipyards and arsenals of
Europe. The judge in sentencing the
accused said their arrest had broken

were dangerous in the highest degree

Germany's most important military
secrets. Max Schulz had organized.
according to the judge, network of
spies throughout Germany. The Sc
verify of the sentences, which have
to be served in penitentiary and
not in a fortress as is usually the
case, indicates how gravely these
cases of espionage are regarded. Hip
SIGH probably was the lowest salar-
led spy of importance on record. He
was paid only $40 weekly. Wulff,
it was stated, dealt with the ques-
ton Of submarines.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Civic Loss Through School
Sickness.

By DR. LEONARD P. AYREs.
Figures from Germany. Eng
land, Sweden and seven Ameri-
can cities indicate that In the
average city school system the
children who are In need Of such
treatment as that afforded by the
open air schools constitute from
3 to 8 per cent Of the entire
school membership. This means
that Albany, for example, should
have open air schools In suffi-
cient numbers to care for 300
children, while New York city
needs accommodations for &c, 600.
When such figures as these are
mentioned the objection of ex-
pense looms high at once, but 1t
must not be forgotten when we
are considering expense that a
thousand children Of school age
die each year of tuberculosis In
New York city. On the average
they have each had about six
years Of schooling, for which the
city has paid about $3.50. This
means quarter Of a million dol
lars loss each year In the great
city In money expended on edu-
eating children who die of tuber-
culosis before growing up. A
quarter OF a million dollars a
year spent in open air schools
designed to prevent this fright
full waste would go far toward
meeting the entire expense.

new BOARD OF
CONTROL BILL
RADICAL CHANGE IN MANAGE.
MliNT OF INSANE ASYLUM
AND OTHER STATE In.
STITUTIONs

Governor Burke having approved
of the board of control bill, that
measure is now before tho public,
and will go into effect July 1s::. next.
It Will create a radical change in the
management of tho six penal and
charitable institutions in the state,
namely: the state insane hospital at
jamestown, the feetle minded insti-
tuition ut Grafton, penitentiar! at Bis
marck, the reform school at Mandan,
the blind. asylum at Rathgate and the
daaf and dumb schoo! at Devils Lake.
Over the destilies and control OF
these institutions three men will pre-
side and instead of each institution
Icing governed by board Of trns-
tees appointed by the governo:, the
institutions will be absolutely in con-
troll Of the three n:.n who -. consti-.
tute the board Of control and which
three pen will be appointed by the
governor in time to sssume their du.
ties beginning July 1st next. Each
of the members of the new board of
control will receive salary from the
state of $4,000 per annum; provision
is also made for secretary of the
BOARD at salary of $4,000 per an
mum, and for stenographers. clerks,
etc. The headquarters of the board
of control is to be at the state capt.
tol.
The new board of control will con-
tract for all supplies for each of the
institutions, appoint the superintend-
ents and other officers of each insti-
tuition, will supervise and contract for
new buildings and will have general
supervision and charge of the af-
fairs of all six state institutions a
bove named. The terms of Office of
the new board of control will all con-
sist OF two year terms. The new
law, as can be readily seen, will ma
terially change the management Of
the state institutions and will be a
specially radical change for the state
insane hospital, which has about
half of the population of all other
penal and charitable institutions sup
ported by the state.
There was separate board of con-
troll bill passed for. the Normal
Schools of the state, which bill will
take their management and control
from the hands of the trustees and
place it in that of board, similar
in its powers and duties and men,
bership to that of the board of con-
troll for the charitable and penal in
stitutions.

RETURNED FROM TRIP
TO PUGET SOUND
Jamestown Resident Saw Numerous
Former North DakOtans. Cities
Growing, Country Improv.
ing

Judge Conklin returned home
Tuesday from two weeks trip to
the Puget Sound country, which he
has not visited in over 20 years. He
spent some time at Portland, Ore,
Tacoma, Seattle and visited various
other points in that part of the north
west, renewing many acquaintances,
formerly from North Dakota. He
also spent short time at Spokane
on his way out. The weather was
pleasant and the trip greatly enjoyed.
Amcng the former jamestown
residents whom he met were Attor-
ney Frye of Seattle, who is one Of
the prominent lawyers of that city;
DR.. Sifton Of Portland, George WILL
Jams and family, Aug. Kuhn, A. c.
Conant, o. A. Boynton of Puyallup.
Mr.. Boynton is still as clipper and
facetious as ever, although not in
specially good health at present. He
also met number of friends from
New York state, one, a brother of
the Wells brothers of this city, who
is wealthy and prominent resident
of Anacortes.
The towns and cities of the Puget
Sound seem to be over crowded at
present, and the opportunities for
making money are not more numer-
GUS, to all appearances, than In other
parts of the country.
Notwithstanding this, the improve
ment in Portland, Seattle and Taco
ma is very marked and large addi-
tions are being plated for future
residences. The country is being
developed also, in the fruit and farm
ing lines. The laws of Oregon, spe-
cially, now require the holding OF
frequent elections for both state and
cities. There is some railroad i'm
proyement being made this spring at
Tacoma by the N. P. in the con-
struction of new yards.
The old, residents of that part OF
the northwest have the most un-
bounded faith in the future growth
and development of the country, on
account of it's being the last region
where the westward travelling Cau-
casian can take a stand.

into places where such operations
would be more dangerous.

MISSOURI RIVER RISING

Bismarck, March 22.-Reports
from river stations in Montana and
North Dakota show that the rivers
are frozen, at Billings, Bismarck,
Williston and Wolf Point. Only
slight changes in the stage of water
were reported except at Bismarck.
Sunday there was considerable water
flowing over ice at Washburn, the
average depth being between three
and four feet. This water has now
reached Bismarck and caused a rise
of 3.4 feet during the past IL hours.
AS stated before, the question of a
flood in this vicinity depends wholly
on the manner of the breaking up OF
the ice.
