HARTMAN CASE
GOES TO HIGH
COURT 0F--LAND.
Attorney Generals instruction
That an Immediate Appeal
Be Taken
GOVERNMENT HOLDS HOPE OF
WINNING AGAINST THE MERCER
Ste Proposed Not Merely One Of
Routine, But Has Plan of Getting
Verdict That Will Stand-Propose
to Hurry Case.

Washington, July 29.-The govern
ment will appeal to the supreme
court the Hartman merger suit which
was decided in favor Of the railroads
by the United States circuit court at
ST. Louis. Attorney General Wicker
sham today directed c. A. Severance,
the governments special counsel in
the case, to prepare the appeal and
file as quickly as possible.
Although the government has a year
In which to perfect it's action to the
highest court, the department of JUS
tice intends to hurry the suit.
Opinions have been expressed in
some quarters that the governments
appeal to have the questions involved
decided by the highest court would be
only routine matter. At the depart
ment Of justice, however, it is said
the government is appealing the case
in the hope Of winning it. Severance
has reported to the attorney general
that he believed the government has
good chance. 1t has been suggested
to the department that the outcome of
the Herman merger suit might have
some bearing on the great Golding
company which, it has been reported,
is to be organized for the New York
Central lines. Attorney General Wick
ersham. however, said the proposed
New York Central company had not
been called to his attention and would
express no opinion

FAIR OFFICIALS
ACT CAUTIOUSLY
Fear That State Aid Will Be
Taken From Them Lends
Air of Care 49,.

Madison, Wis. July 29.-County
fair officials are proceeding cautious
ly In booking concessions for the
coming fair season as a. result of
more stringent laws against improper
games and shows. State aid will be
withheld from all fair societies which
are found to have permitted violations
of the rule.
All games of chance not depending
on skill, and all shows of immoral
character are by the new law forbid
den upon pain Of losing state aid
varying from $4,000 to smaller
amounts.
No more will the "hoopla" shark
or the poodle-dog gamester ply his
get-rich-quick scheme on the suscepti-
BILE throngs that always crowd the
midways of every county fair The
poodle-dog artist sells a dozen pad
dies for 10 cents each, giving a
chance to turn the arrow on disk.
Only one of the twelve willing con-
tributors may draw the prize. The
arrow stops on certain number and
the holder of its duplicate walks
away with real live poodle, which
may be sold for 81 or 81 or kept as
q pet as desired.
The principal objection to the pood-
ledog device is the invariable tempta-
ton of their owner to slip coin on
the dial as soon as an officer turns
away. Gullible ruralites are especial
ly likely to bite when such a trap is
set for them.

The accident was direct result Of
carelessness and non-observance Of
the city ordinance and the common
practice regarding keeping to the
right side OF street.
The automobile which ran down
the man was kept at the Sims garage
over night and employees of that place
stated that the owner of the car had
said that he was going from here to
Larimore.
Morstad, who was taken to the po-
lice station was dazed from the blow
he received on the back Of the head
and was unable to tell anything
definite about how the accident hap
pened. Witnesses, however, state
that he was on the right side Of the
street and that the automobilist was
wholly at fault.
His action in hitting up at top
speed and getting away from the cor
ner where the accident happened,
without even stopping to see whether
his victim was killed or not, was the
occasion Of much vituperation on the
part Of the witnesses Of the accident.

Ledyard, counsel for Oliver Payne
who was one of the syndicate which
formerly owned the Tennessee Coal

Add Materially to Days Fun-show
One of the Very Best and Varied
Attractions Which Will Prove Real
Entertainers.

That is. what the people of Grand
Forks and visitors to the city today
have to look forward to. It will be
circus night at the state fair and with
the cost Of admission to the fair
grounds done away with entirely,
and with the exceptionally low price
charged by the circus, it will be q
night long to be remembered.
The first feature Of circus day was
the parade through the downtown dis
tricts this morning. A whole mile of
parade was put on and to the big
crowds that we're down town for the
occasion, 1t proved real treat. For
once, and probably the first time in
Grand Forks circus history, the pa
rade was ahead of time. ..1,,., :, !:
New crowds were attracted to
Grand Forks today on account of the
Sells-Floto circus, the mammoth ag-
gregation which has been heralded
far and wide during the last few
weeks, and which arrived in the city
long before daybreak and had its
tents up early at the fair grounds.
Arrangements whereby the circus
should be put on at the fair grounds
were concluded last night and that
fact has been responsible for the big
sgest, ssIast day at the sta4esiair that
has ever been experienced. s7 y
Long before the morning parade
started the down town streets began
filling with people and by the time
the buglers were heard, both sides Of
all the streets through which the
parade passed were lined with sight
;seers. And they were not disappoint-
ed, for the procession proved an en-
tire and complete success in every
detail.
7 Band after band discoursed music,
while the great gilded cages, drawn
by the splendid teams Of horses, the
elephants and camels, all added to
make the, procession one that was
pleasing to the eye aud quite capa-
BILE of stirring that enthusiasm SO
common to Circus day."
And there was the traditional steam
caliope, the operator Of which, one
Of the best in the business, had all

Washington. July 29-Lawrence- b.
|Stringer. Democratic candidate in
Opposition to William Lorimer at the
time the latter was elected by the
Illinois legislature. testified before
the committee today that Lorimer and
Speaker shurtliff were the Republi-
cans most popular with Democrats
at that legislative session. From the
time It was first rumored that Lori
mer would become candidate. wit
ness said, common talk In Sprinffield
was that Lorimer would get the
Democratic vote ii he went into the
race. Hopkins was more bitterly
opposed by the Democrats than any
other Republican of prominence in
the state" said Stringer in speaking
of the winner in the 1908 Republican
senatorial primaries.
At the conclusion Of his evidence
Stringer expressed the opinion that
improper or corrupt practices were
ingredients entering into Lorimer's
election.
Ddw. o. Phillips. a. Chicago Record
Herald reporter, who worked IN
Springfield during the session of the
legislature in 1909 was the only other
witness today. He said former Gov
ernor Yates was his authority for the
newspaper article he wrote on Jan.
6, 1909, to the effect that Lorimer
would be elected by the combination
of Democrats and Republicans that
elected Shurtleff, speaker. II Lorimer
would consent. Phillips said that in
conversation with Lawrence b.
stringer the day before the election
of Lorimer he gathered the impress
sion that Stringer was out of the race
because consideration" had been
asked of him that he could not fur
nish. The committee adjourned un-
til Monday, when Phillips will be
cross-examined.

Lisbon, Portugal, July 29.-Spain ID
taking measures to break up the mon
archist preparations in Galecia Spain
which are being made against the re-
public Of Portugal and as the Portu-
gese government now believes, will
endeavor in goo dfaith to disperse
monarchist recruits, conflscate their
supplies Of arms and prevent the or.
ganization of raid into Portugal.
Foreign Minister Machado stated to-
day that these assurances had been
received from the Spanish govern
ment and added: "Madrid has for
some time considered Portuguese mon.
archists in Spain near the border az
inoffensive persons merely finding an
asylum from their troubles, in their
own country. Now Spain is convinced
that these refugees are planning hos
tilities against the republic, thus mis-
using the privileges of the asylum.
Wherever Portuguese are found near
the frontier they are ordered by the
government to remove to the interior
Of Spain. The civil guard Of the
Galician boundary has been increased
about 1000 men and is cooperating
with the Portuguese troops against per-
sons who cannot satisfactorily explain
their reasons for crossing the line"
Replying to an inquiry as to why
it was thought necessary to have 10,-
600 Portuguese soldiers on the bound
ary while further reinforcemeuts are
being sent out. the minister said that
the government was determined to
cut of all communication between
the conspirators and separate those
within the republic from enemies
without.

When Tolstoy Tried to Fly.

From earliest childhood Tolstoy was
remarkably observant of the things
that were going on in the world around
him. Thus. while still in his teens.
we find him taking an interest in the
art of flying that was too practical to
suit his devoted mother With char
acteristic thoroughness he invented a
design Of his own and with equally
characteristic courage proceeded to
put it to an immediate test from a
second story window. But the boy
who was afterward to find food for
thought for the whole civilized world
was not destined to make his mark
as an infant aeroplanist He fell in
stantly to the ground. and. though by
great good fortune no bones were ac-
tually broken. the concussion was so
great that young Tolstoy afterward
slept for sixteen hours on end

The February issue of Worlds Work
contains an article on the army which
merits careful consideration of all who are
interested in the nations welfare. The
writer shows that the system of having
small posts scattered over the country, at
locations determined by the amount of in
fluence brought to bear at Washington, is
detrimental to the training of the standing
army, thus rendering inefficient our main
stay of national protection.
In case of war our forces have to be or
gained into brigades and divisions. Com
mon senee would seem to recommend the
same organization in time of peace, in Or
der that all the officers and men may get
that training so necessary in time Of war.
The small army posts, in the larger num-
Der of cases, have no raison d'etre other
than to satisfy the political demands of
some Congressman or Senator, and it is a
notorious fact that some of them are total
ly worthless as training stations for troops.
1t may be utopian to hope for reorgan-
ization of the army along the lines sug-
gested by the author in the very near fu-
ture, but it will have to come if we, as a
nation, are to get value received for the
vast sums we are now spending on our de-
fences. And when the reorganization does
come the South should expect, and demand
her just apportionment, which, up to the
present, she has not received.
