for Plgging
Made His Threats as 10 What
He Would Do # EnCount.
cred by Officer
Enforcement League Officer
Still Getting Evidence
in Reilly Case

If F.. l.. Watkins continues his eX-
cellent work of arresting blind pig
gers in the future as he has in the
past few weeks there is not a doubt
that Burleigh county will be rid Of
this nuisance within short time.
The latest addition to the string Of
piggers already arrested is Charles
Mcdonald who was arrested by Con-
stable Watkins and police officers at
about 10 o'clock Thursday night at his
residence on South Tenth street. Wat
kins and assistants have been busily
engaged the past few days gathering
evidence against Mcdonald and one
OF his co-workers purchaser beer from
him the other day. Watkins thought
that the time was ripe for his arrest
therefore he took him in tolls.
The circumstances surrounding the
case is very amusing as we'll as in
teresting. Recently Mr. Watkins
visited the place of McDonalds and
had lengthy talk with him concern
ing the war that had been waged
against the "piggers" Of the county.
Mr.. Mcdonald was uEaware of the
fact that, he was talking to Watkins
and therefore he told him what he
was going to do with that man Wat
kins when he came around. McDon-
aid has not been arraigned yet but
will be in the near future.
Mr.. watkins, who is officer of the
Enforcement league, states that the
league intends to follow up all of the
blind piggers that have operated In
this county and put them under ar
rest. Wehave a sort of profess
sional piggers around this part Of the
country, Watkins stated, and when
they get wise to the fact that they
are under suspicion they leave their
present quarters and locate else
where. We know of all the parties
that have operated in Burleigh coun.
ty and if they don't leave the state
we will put them under arrest and
start criminal proceedings against
them. A number OF the vi0lat0rs Of
the law left town upon our thorough
investigation but are drifting back
fast. We intend to put all these per-
sons under arrest"
In regards to the Reilly matter Mr..
Watkins states that he is still work.
ing on the case and is gathering con.
siderable evidence. He states that
when he jumped on the running board
of the car and grabbed Reilly the first
thing he said was, "You can't get
Barnes for this as ran away" AS
soon as the investigation is completed
a thorough account of the affair will
pc published in these columns.

Will PUT LID
ON CITY noise
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
BOSTON, MASS, Aug. 15.-lf plans
discussed today at melting held at
the Harvard Medical School are real.
lied, worldwide movement will
soon be under way to put the lid on
the honk of the automobile, the
screech of the locomotive whistle,
the cries of the street peddler, the
thumpety-thump OF the fattened
street-car wheel and thousand and
one other noises that make city life
burdensome to persons of ordinary
sensibility. The establishment of an
international commission for the
suppression of noise is proposed. Pre-
liminary steps to this end were taken
at the meeting today, which was pre-
sided over by Professor Victor Grazzi
of the University of Pisa. The
American members of the internation-
al committee include Dean Sabine and
Professor Blake of the Harvard Medi-
school, Professor Cross of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology and
Professor E. S. Morse of Salem, Mass.
1t is proposed to use dict0graphs to
make an exact transcription of the
many varieties of city noises. From
these dictograph records the medical
men will determine which noises az
ect the nervous system and are
therefore injurious to the public
health and welfare. Each case will
be taken up separately and in each
instance that the noise is found
guilty" legal steps, if necessary, Will
be taken for its suppression. IT is
proposed to extend the anti.noise cru
sade to all of the cities of America
and Europe.

BARNES CIRCUS
Was ARRESTED
Had False End in Cars For
Smuggling Goods Over
Canadian Line

The AL. C. Barnes circus, which
showed in Bismarck some weeks ago;
got into a scrape which might have
been rather serious, the customs Of
ficials at Winnipeg having the com
pany in charge for some time. A
dispatch from Winnipeg has the fol-
lowing on the event:
A little unrehearsed performance
on the circus lot round about yester-
day noon, proved somewhat expen-
sive, for the AL. G. Barnes circus. 1t
commenced with the appearance of
w. Gault and G. Kennedy of the GUS
tom house who suddenly appeared on
the scene and in the vulgar vernac-
ular "pinched the outnt."
Lions and >lgers, dogs and ponies,
snakes and wild cats all were placed
under arrest and the show was held
up Later everything was straight
ened out and the circus gave its two
scheduled performances.
The trouble arose out of the bring
ing in of circus paper to the domin-
ion of Canada upon which duty had
not been paid. Trouble had arisen
in connection with this not long aft
er the circus pulled out of Winnipeg
on it's former visit but the customs
officials denied all knowledge of any
thing being wrong. They were. bid
ing their time and knew that the cir
Gus would put in an appearance in st.
Boniface since they had billed the
town.
Once in Winnipeg the customs Off
cials got to work and as soon as the
right papers had been sworn out, the
authorities rushed off to St. Boniface
and attacked" the whole outfit,
pending the settlement of matter
said to be in the neighborhood of 49,
900.
This sum represents the duty that
was not paid on the mass of advertis-
ing paper, peanuts and other matter
brought into the dominion.
The various cars were measured
and from what is known as the pa
per car is said to have been found to
be fifteen feet longer on the outside
than on the INSIDE with the result
that the officials fcame to the conclu-
sion that there was some space some
where that was not accounted for.
Such proved to be the case, for the
car had false en- with good thirteen
foot space in. which anything could
be placed and yet be out Of sight.
Then the customs men got busy and
various affidavits which had been Sc
cured from disgruntled employees
were brought out and the circus man
agement settled the matter by max
ing out cheek which covered the
whole amount laimed by the Gus
toms.
