FURTHER CUSTOMS
FRAUDS ALLEGED
importers Of Oriental Goods Un-
der Arrest at Frisco.

San Francisco, Jan. 15.-Serious
charges of attempting to defraud the
United States customs by undervalua.
tons of imports occasioned the arrest
OF two prominent importers of Orien,
tai goods in this city. The prisoners
are Carl J. Cutting, who has a store in
this city, and w. A. Wilson of Oak
land, who operates between this port
and Yokohama as an importer and tea
expert.
A secret agent sent to Japan by the
customs department last year is said
to have iald the foundation of the
present prosecution. Upon his advice
that imports were being marked far
below their value shipments of Orien.
tai art goods to Cuttings store were
held at the local customs house.
Shipments valued by the importer at
$4,000 are involved in the present pro.
ceedings, but customs officials express
the belief that wholesale frauds in the
differentiation of imports from the
Orient have been perpetrated in the
last few years. They estimate the
governments loss by these operations
at 100000 a year..

STATE is BEING. DEFRAUDED
Importation of G%Iandered Horses Into
North Dakota.

The state of North Dakota is ex-
terminating glandered horses at a
very rapid rate, but, it is said, the
state is paying indemnity on animals
shipped here from neighboring states
by enterprising owners. This is the
contention Of state officials who have
interested themselves in the situation.
In the border counties this condition
would be most marked and in some of
them direct evidence is said to have
been found showing the horses or
dered killed by the state veterinarians
board, and for which killing the state
will pay the owner up to half of the
value of his animal, were imported.
There are certificates in the state
auditors office calling for the payment
of more than $685. 900 in indemnity,
while two years ago the amount was
$4,000, indicating some progress has
been made since the establishment
four years ago of the board of veterin-
arians in the hands of which the cam
paign is waged. 1t will be for the
present legislative assembly to make
provision for the unpaid certificates
held by the state auditor.

BENCH DISTRICTS AN ISSUE
North Dakota Readjustment of Limits
Offers Problems.

There promises to be a number of
complications in the question of Great
ing new judicial districts, as a result
of the provision of the constitution of
the state making it impossible to in
crease the number of districts oftener
than once in four years.
Four years ago the legislative as
sembly passed bills creating the Ninth
and Tenth judicial districts and to the
Ninth district thus created Governor
Burke named Judge Burr of Rugby.
Some time after the appointment
there was an action which resulted in
a decision by the supreme court that
the bills would not become effective
until Jan. 1, 1909. Thus the place
held by the appointive judges became
vacant and the districts were not
created until two years after the en-.
actment of the acts in question.
A point arising in connection with a
proposed fedistricting of the judiciary
at this time is whether or not the four.
year period in which the number of
districts could be changed was inau.
gurated with the passage of the act OF
1907, or with the election of the judges
for the term beginning Jan. 1, 1909.

BattIeship Arkansas Launched
at Camden, n J.
IS MONSTER FIGHTING SHIP
Pronounced to Be the Most Formida-
BILE Vessel in Gun Power of
Any Now Afloat.

Philadelphia, Jan. 15.-Splashed
payne the b%attleship Arkansas, the
largest warship Yer constructed in
this country, was launched from the
yards of the New York Shipbuilding
company at Camden, N. j. Miss Mary
Macon, daughter of Representative
Robert B. Macon of Helena, Ark, was
the sponsor for the ship.
There was n unusual feature to
the launching, the absence of IN Off
cial delegation representing the state
government of Arkansas. The failure
of Governor Donaghey or other official
representatives to attend was due to
a controversy between the governor
and the navy department at Washing
ton over the date of the launching, the
governor wanting the launching post
poned so that the state could make
adequate arrangements to send an Of
fetal party.
The principal dimensions of the lat
est and largest addition to the navy
are: Length over all, 562 feet; beam
over armor, SO feet 2% inches; draft,
% feet, 6 inches; displacement, $4,000
tons.
The contract for the ship calls for a
speed of 20h knots an hour.
When complete the Arkansas will
have the greatest gun power in broad
side fire OF any ship afoat. The main
armament will consist of twelve
twelve-incn breechloading guns mount
ed in six heavy armor protected tur-
rets. For defense against torpedo
boat attacks there will be a battery
of twenty-one five-inch rapid fire guns.
There will also be two submerged tor
pedo tubes and ten small guns. The
total weight of %broadside fire will be
about 1000 pounds. The armor belts
will have an average thickness of
three inches.
The Arkansas will be turbine driven
and will Lave $4,000 horsepower. The
vessel will be fitted for a flagship and
her complement will consist of eighty
five officers and 1880 men. :
The keel of the Arkansas was laid
last January and at present the ship
is about so per cent completed.

News Of the Week From VaTi-
Gus Parts Of the State.
SWIFT JUSTICE At FARGO
DefauItine County Treasurer Sent to
the State Penitentiary for a
Term of Five Years.

Was H A. McConville of Fargo, the
county treasurer of Cass county, in.
sane when he stole $500 of the coun.
ty funds? Two weeks ago he was an
honored citizen and the custodian OF
the county funds; now he is an in.
mate of q cell in the state peniten:
tiary.
His method was to take cash from
the drawer and put in a slip for the
amount. He kept a private memo
randum showing the amounts that he
had taken. Despite the fact that he
knew exposure was imminent, he
made no effort to cover up his crime
or to escape.
He took $500, but could have fled
with 100000. 1t is a matter of as.
tonishment to his acquaintances that
he stole, but, having stolen, then can't
imagine why he stolidly remained at
his post instead of taking a larger sun
and fleeing.
Attorneys believe that if he had put
up a plea of insanity instead of plead.
ing guilty he would have escaped in.
stead of going to prison for five years
with a fine of $4,000 hanging over
him.
1t more recently developed that as
treasurer of the Sunday school funds
he was also short in his accounts. He
vas a home loving man, thoroughly
devoted to his children.

Progressives Join Democrats
in Vote Against Him.
APPEAL MADE BY FITZGERALD
Sustained by the Combined Votes of
! the Democrats and the Pro-
: grccsive Republicans.

+ Washington, Jan. 1.-THE stirring
scene of the last session of congress,
when the house overthrow Speaker
Cannon and took the making of it's
rules into it's own hands, was re-en-
acted on the floor of the house.
Threatened with what they believed
to be an effort to draw the teeth" of
one of the most important Of the new
rules, Democrats and insurgents by a
vote of AS to 1875 rallied to the sup
port of Representative Fitzgerald
(Dem., N. " and sustained him in his
appeal from the speakers ruling.
The fight developed as the result of
the second attempt to use the new
rule which gives the house power to
discharge a committee from further
consideration of a bill that has been
referred to it. The insurgents and the
Democrats believed that this rule was
iron clad.
When the house convened Speaker
Cannon gave recognition to Repre-
sentative Hull Of Iowa, chairman Of
the military affairs committee. who
moved that the house take up the con-
sideration of the military appropria-
tion bill. Mr.. Fitzgerald insisted upon
the consideration Of a motion to dis
charge a committee, which was upon
the calendar, but Speaker Cannon ig-
nored him.
The Democratic member declared
that he was entitled to recognition and
yelled You'll overrule me if | make a
point of order"
Debate Is Lively.
Insurgents. Democrats and regu-
followed. Upon the speakers refusal
to recognize MI. Fitzgerald the latter
raised a point OF order against the
taking up of the army appropriation
bill.
The speaker read his ruling from
manuscript. He held that MI. Hull
had the right of way.
Il appeal from the decision of the
chair" cried MI. Fitzgerald, but Con.
gresham Payne of New York. Repub.
lican leader of the house, moved to
law the motion on the table.
The Payne motion was the first test
of strength. 1t was defeated by a vote
of 155 to 1874. When the vote finally
was taken upon the appeal from
Speaker Cannon's decision, twenty
three insurgents and all but one of the
Democrats present voted against the
speaker. The result was the defeat
of his ruling by a vote of 145 to 1876.
Congressman STEVENSON was the only
Minnesota member to vote against the
speakers ruling. The Wisconsin men,
bers who voted against Cannon were
Cary, Kopp, FISHERMAN, Lenroot,
Morse, Nelson and Stafford.
Representative Saunders of Virginia
was the only Democrat voting against
Mr.. Fitzgerald in the appeal from the
chairs decision.
