nearly year it is tacitly admitted that
w. Vincent Astor, only son of Colonel
John Jacob Astcr, has won the heart
and hand of Miss Catherine l.. Ham,
mersly, who, with her brother, l.. Cor
don, in herited millions from several
members of their family. Vincent AS.
tor. his fathers chum and destined to
be the principal heir of the hundred
or more millions OF real estate i'll the

IS ENGLISH Spy
WATCHING U. s.?
Travelling Man Thinks Eng.
ldOd Interested

San Antonio, Texas, April - (Spec-
ial)-lt is maintained by d. O'Brien,
a travelling man of Philadelphia, who
resided in Liverpool, England, sever
al years, that the English government
has secret service man here watching
matters between the United States and
Mexico. O'Brien declares he met this
secret service man on the streets here
and recognized him as the same man
who watched the interests OF the Eng
lisll government at St. Petersburg dur
ing the time that relations were strain
cd between Russia and England.
1T is my opinion" declared Mr..
O'Brien, that the particular matter
which brought this man to the United
States was the talk of the secret treaty
between Mexico and Japan. Another
matter which is significant contn-
ued MIR. OBrien, lis the fact that
thousands of Japanese in America have
gone from this country in the past few
months and many Others are preparing
to 60. If Washington is not aware of
this fact, it is my opinion that it is
time investigations were made" 1t is
Mr.. O'Brien's opinion, based upon OBJ
servat'ons in this country and else
where, that the japanese government
is preparing to make certain demands,
and if these are not granted resort to
passage at arms.

FIRST GRAIN IS
PEEP|NG THRU
Minnesota and n. D. Farmers
are Busy
Especial To The Tribune.)

Minneapolis, Mimi, April l8-The
wheat peeped above the ground today
near Renville, and also near Fari-
bault, MIMI, while in other parts of
the grain-raising country seeding was
just beginning. The grain sown dur
ing the warm periods of carly March
is coming up. At Lisbon and Alice,
N. D., where the recent rain and snow
had delayed the work, seeding began
early today. Practically all the spring
wheat will be seeded by the close of
the week. There are scattered late
spots. Easter Monday brought farmers
out, and as they worked the tempera-
lures ran up rapidly. In the a. m.
report there was range of "a to 81
above, but along towards noon 60
above was reported at Williston, N.
D., Sioux Falls was So, and other
points 50 to IS. Fair weather is likely
to prevail tomorrow over North Dako-
ia, which will mean that there will
be a general finishing up of the wheat
seeding, and a start will be made on
the other grains.
Farmers around here are as happy
as larks," said letter received today
by J. c. Pomeroy, cashier of the Sc
curity National bank, from J. J. Geidt,
cashier of the Farmers and Merchants
bank of Lehr, N. D. with the
ground soaked they are working rapid
ly, and are confident of good crops"
]. G. Blanch, cashier of the Bank
of Harvey, N. D., wrote that condi-
tons were never better, and letters
of similar import were many in the
mails of the Northwestern and First
National banks. The National Lead
company Of New York has issued
statement covering the flax outlook,
which indicates that the prices of flax
seed are likely to remain high. The
company had been buying Argentine
haxseed and selling it for seed at cost,
but at the best the prospects are for a
small acreage. The report is of inter
est to the northwest, as the price
means much to flax growers, especially
in North Dakota.

MAIL CLERKS
ARE WRATHY

Grand Forks Herald: The member:
of the Tenth Division of Railway Mai
Clerks are up in arms over the recen,
action OF Washington officials in dis
charging Carl c. Van Dyke and Clyde
L. Duff, twin city mail clerks, from
their positions and denoting them to
| positions in the postoffces in Mime
apols and St. Paul at a salary reduc-
ton of several hundred dollars a year.
The railway mail clerks running out
of Grand Forks are all members of the
Tenth division, and as a result the cx-
citement caused by the action of Post
master General Hitchcock in St. Paul
has reached Grand Forks. and has
caused considerable commotion among
the clerks here.
Van Dyke, one of the discharged
men, is candidate for president of
the National Order on the progressive
ticket, which ticket is advocating
many reforms, among them the right
to petition for grievances, steel cars,
and fair scale of hours and wages.
W. V. O'Brien of Grand Forks is a
candidate for delegate to the national
convention of the railway mail clerks,
running on the same ticket with Van
Dyke.
The following from the St. Paul Dis
patch, tells of meeting held in St.
Paul Sunday.
The association held meeting yes
terday afternoon in hall on Wabasha
street. 1t was decided to use the ef-
forts of the organization in securing
the support of all congressman in an
endeavor to have the two men REIN
stated and further that the mail clerks
have an opportunity to voice their OBJ
jections to unsanitary and dangerous
mail cars.
The meeting of the clerks yesterday
in St. Paul was closely watched by
special inspectors of the postoffce de-
partment, according to some of those
present, but it is said that no further
dsmissals or reductions in the ranks
are anticipated.
1t is not anticipated that the clerks
will quit in body until other methods
are exhausted.
Following the meeting which was at
tended by about 100 clerks with head
quarters in the twin cities. one of the
most active members said that the
clerks all over the country would take
up the proposition to get their congress-
men to put stop to the so-caled |
gag. rule
1t was also decided at the meeting !
to employ attorneys and James J. Man.
afan has been appointed to look after |
the interests of the clerks.
The changes affecting Duff and Van
Dyke were made following letter re-
ceived by Superintendent Alexander
Grant from the department at Wash
ington and the reasons given for the
changes was "pernicious activity in en-
deavoring to foment discomfort, and in
so doing exerting an influence detri-
mental to the best interest of the SER
vice and tending to insubordination.'
Another meeting of the clerks will
be held today or tomorrow.

MAS SUCCESS.

The special page of reasonable bar.
gains from the leading stores run in
this paper last Friday and Saturdays
selling met with decided success az
reported by several merchants who
made special offers for the day.
Being devoted entirely to special
bargains-only one from each store
the page naturally lends more than
the ordinary amount Of interest, and
will attract buyers who like to effect
savings on staple ar.4cles. All the
goods offered are positively from the
regular stock, and are inspected by
the advertising solicitor before taken
for advertising so that customers
may know they will receive the exact
value represented in the ad. While
one article is offered by each store,
the number Of stores in the plan will
give buyers the choice If many things
with the items changing entirely
each Saturday, almost anything want
ed can be bought in the course of q
month.
Another I'D appears tomorrow and
will carry several rafting good bar
gains. You can buy many Of these
specials at actually less than cost to
the merchant, so its wisdom to look
over the ad Tor what you need.

GUARANTEE OF BANK
DEPOSITS A failure

! In commenting on some of the laws
in force in other states the Commerce
ial West published at Minneapolis
says:
The scheme to guarantee bank de.
posits, which some say originated in
the busy brain of our friend John
Schultz of Manitowoc, Wis, and was
later taken up as a national political
issue by the Nebraska rainbow chaser,
seems to De failure. At least it has
failed to work in Oklahoma. The su-
Ipreme court decision holding the law
constitutional was a disappointment
to state bankers who hoped to escape
the payment of assessments. They at
once began to apply for national char
tiers. Now another state bank has
failed in Oklahoma City, with 100000
liabilities. This win settle the guar
anty law. Bankers of that state freely
predict that all state banks that can
will nationalize inside of three months
unless the deposit guarantee law is re-
|pealed.
This law is another of the fair
weather" schemes that appear to sue
coed when everything is prosperous
and there is no stress on the banks,
but when the splitting wind makes
flexible the knees Of knotted oaks"
and bank failures call for assessments
then the system breaks down.
Good, old fashioned, honesty, coup.
led with the best modern business
methods, is still good team for
bankers to drive. Legislative tricks
no mater how clever, are not yet good
substitutes, if we can Judge by CAla-
homa's experience,

Of DANGEROUS
C0UNTERF|ETS

FL Paso, Texas. April 10 Especially
For the past three months counter
felt half dollars and quarters have been
numerous in certain localities in south
west Texas. Secret service men have
been trying for SOME time to locate
the source of supply, it being evident
this spurious coin was made at some
point in Texas. A short time ago,
two men were arrested at FL Paso and
it was thought at that time the heads
of the gang had been apprehended
Lately, however, much of this spurl..
nus coin has heen in circulation and
to the two denominations named dol
lar of excellent Workmanship has been
added. From this it is believed that
the men arrested in FL Paso were not
the manufacturers, but merely engaged
in passing the counterfeit money. A
few days ago a man was arrested III
Denver. who, it is alleged, made the
most dangerous counterfeit quarters.
halves and dollars that have ever been
made in this country Since the ar
rest Of this man, secret service men
believe that the money passed in Texas
is the Colorado product. 1t has been
learned that this money could be
bought for fifty cents on the dollar. 1t
appears that operations have been car
ricd on not only in Texas but in other
parts OF the south among Mexicans,
negroes and Italians. The coin are so
perfectly made they cannot be detect
ed by the workmanship. They are
overweight, however. and do not ring
quite clearly when given the resonance
test. 1t is believed that many thous-
and dollars of this spurious coin have
been put in circulation. So far, detec-
tivcs are at a loss to know who Is
responsible for the presence of this
money in this part of the state.

BY the law Of the land no vessel car

passengers and crew. may leave any
port III the United States on voy-
age of more than two hundred miles,
after July |, unless it is equipped with
wireless telegraph apparatus capable
of transmitting and receiving messages
over a distance of at least one hundred
miles, day or night, in charge of a
competent operator.
Even without the strong encourage
mcn Of the law, without any inhu-
cncc whatever beyond the cold logic
of achievement, the worlds installation
of wireless telegraph apparatus had
grown to a grand total of 500 sta

foreign warsfip amateur outfits up to
October |, 1910, according to dircc-
tory compiled by the United States
Navy Department. OF this total S2l
stations we're on steamships, yachts
and tugs throughout the world. OF
the short stations the United States
had 20G, of which lightweight were on
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. forty
eight were on the Great Lakes, fifty
one Oh the Pacific coast, sixteen in
Alaska, and three in the interior. The
United States Navy had 344 ship and
forty-seven shore stations, the army
thirty shore and sixteen ship stations
In 1909 the AIarconi Company trans
mitted between ship and shore mes
sages aggrcgating SIG, 900 words. The
transatlantic business ranges fAom
80. 900 to Is, 900 words a week. The
British Postofficc Department reported
that in the three months ending Octo-
Der, 1910, twice as many wireless mes
sagcs were sent and received as in
any other corresponding period. As
the first step toward establishing ring
of wireless stations completing encirc-
ling the United Kingdom the govern
ment has purchased the stations al |

government recently asked for bids for
erecting five wireless stations, while |
fifteen new wireless stations now being !
