New York, June 26.-tThe protection
of United States naval secrets is the
object of proceedings begun by the
federal government for an injunction
to restrain the E. w. Bliss Co. from
demonstrating to the British govern
ment the process of making and using
the Bliss Leavitt torpedo. Judge
Veeder Of Brooklyn, reserved decision
on the question Of granting an injunc-
ton. as was requested by Assistant
United States Attorney General Coles,
who declared the torpedo to be the
principal weapon of the navy and if
it's construction were shown the
British interests, any country might
obtain these torpedos on the open
market.
The Bliss Co. counsel contends that
it is only a public right the United
States has in the torpedo, it's share
in the invention being the balanced
turbine, a feature already known to
naval works.

The Minor LAW
JURY PRONOUNCES MANAGER HUNT
OF THE HOTEL COMsToCK "NoT
GUILTY" OF SELLING LIQUORS TO
MINORS-LUNDGREN FINED 500.

After celebrating about six hours
the jury in the case of the State VS..
Hunt, tried in district court Monday
and Tuesday and submitted to the jury
yesterday morning, found that the own
er n manager of the Hotel Comstock
was not guilty of the offense charged
in the complaint made by Eben Walk

first stood IL to l for acquittal, but the
dissenting member of the jury. main
tanned his ground with the expecta-
ton that some of his colleagues would
see the point as he saw it. In this case
to the point that Mr.. Hunt had about
exhausted all the means at his disposal
to prevent the selling to minors and
one of the witnesses along this line
was Mayor Beck h a made some
personal observations to satisfy him
self as to what precautions were taken
to prevent sales to minors.
In the case of the State VS.. S. Lund-
gren, who was charged and found
guilty of selling to minors and which
case was tried several days ago, Judge
Nye yesterday imposed a fine of $500
as the sentence of the court, but a stay

EDUCATIONAL
FEATURE AT The
GYnNASTIC Union

Denver, June 26.-One of the big
educational features of the programme
was the categorical pageant today,
which was pronounced the most in
structive and most impressive lesson
ever given by the North American
.Gymnastic union. Through the agency
of forty-nine floats on which were
grouped turner's costumed in keeping
with the period represented, the story
of the development of the German ma
ton and the part played by the Ger
man Americans in the founding and
upbuilding of the American republic
was told.
The pageant was divided into three
sections, the first representing the
German as an American citizen, the
soldier of the revolutions student, a
lover of poetry, music and art. An
other section contained floats design
ed to carry the imagination back to
medieval times when Germany was
, struggling against the Romans, and
other floats represented the advance
of the German nation to the present
time. Another section displayed ban
ners and insignia of the Gymnastic
union with the guard of honor. The
president and official staff marched in
this section.

WOMAN LOST
Her HOMESTEAD

-
Schafer, N. D., June 26.-The new
secretary Of the interior last week
handed down a decision in a contest
case which will probably deprive Mrs.
VIM. Janson of her homestead. Mrs.
Janson's entry was contested by Rag
void Westby about a year ago. Testi-
mony in the case vas taken here last
July and later submitted to the regis
ter and received of the local l~andofice
at Williston. The register and receiv-
er decided the case in favor of the
contestant. Mrs. JanSon appealed to
the commissioner of the general land
office who reversed the register and
receiver. Westby, the contestant, then
appealed to the secretary of the interi-
or, who sustained the register and re-
ceiver of the local Slandoffice, Westby
will have twenty days in which to
make entry on the land involved pro-
viding Mrs. Janson does not make ap-
plication for a rehearing before the
secretary of the interior.
Attorneys Palmer, Craven & Burgs
of Williston, and #. s.. Kellogg at this
place, represented Mrs. Janson: Atty.
VIM. G. Owens of Williston and "A. p.
GROCER of Rugby represented the con
teStant.
The land involved is located about
three miles west of tho new town of
Watford and has valuable improve
ments on 1t.

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago. June 26.-Wheat: The
market has been somewhat easy today
and after a steady opening values sold
down to nearly yesterdays low point.
There have been numerous recoveries
and the closing figures show a slight
loss from yesterday. Receipts were
liberal and clearances were larger
than for some days, damage reports
continue to come in from the north
west but seem at the moment to have
little effect marketwise. The general
situation, however. seems to be a fair
ly sound one with export business
emanating on the breaks and we look
for no particular decline at the mo-
ment.
Corn has ruled strong during the en-
tire session. There is no merit in this
cereal, but crop conditions appear to
be quite excellent at the moment and
for the time being it would seem as
though a slightly lower range Of prices
will be witnessed.
Oats have been somewhat cratic
and the final figures slightly easier.
There has undoubtedly been a greater
amount of selling for long account to-
day and yet the market has taken it in
good shape. There may be a slightly
further setback but if so, We counsel
purchases.

FOOTBRIDGE not
TO Be TAKEN down
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF
MooRHEAD AvERsE TO REMov-
AL OF SMALL FooTRRiDGE BE-
TWEEN CITIES, BUT THERE
MUST BE NO LolTERING.

Mayor Beck was very plain in what
he had to say at the meeting of. the
council last night in reference to the
proposed taking down of the small
footbridge between Moorhead and
Fargo which is so great a convenience
to working people of both cities n to
students attending schools and colleg-
es. He said his attention had been
called to the crowding of the bridge on
Sundays and evenings, by people who
stopped to see the sights about the
lighthouses. He had been informed of
the crowds which assembled on the
bridge at times last Sunday, forming
continuous surging crowds entailing
danger of sudden collapse as the
such purpose nor intended for such
use. The mayor said it would not do
for such things to continue as 1t was
plainly evident, according to the law
which had been cited to him by City
Attorney Rustad, that in, case of a
catastrophe the corporation of Moor
head might find itself mulcted to pay
out thousands of dollars for damages
and he did not propose to allow it and
unless something was done very
quickly he should order the bridge re-
moved. He a been phone to by Mr..
Hardy, secretary of the commercial
club, that gentleman urging that mat
tiers be suspended until there could be
a joint conference between officials of
both cities and he added that the COM
mercial club Of Fargo was ready now
to render any assistance necessary to
prevent the removal of the bridge
which was so convenient to the gen
eral public walking between the two
cities.

that they were ready to stand a part
of the expense of maintaining an ofic-
er, evenings and Sundays, whose duty
should be to stop people lettering on
the bridge and forming crowds. After
some discussion on points relating to
the problem the matter was referred
to Aldermen Bowman and Olson of the
Second ward, they to see the Fargo
officials n report to the council at
5 o'clock this afternoon.
Retail licenses were granted to the
following for the new period beginning

Mattson & Torreson, Ed. Emith, S. r.
N~orgaard, and Schantz, Peterson &
Skrukrud Co,
A motion was made to reconsider
the refusal of the council to grant J.
A. Humeston a license to peddle ice
cream from a wagon on the streets.
On roll call the vote was a tie so the
motion was lost and the applicant is
still without a license, despite petitions
which were presented asking that he
be given a license. Council adjourned
until this afternoon at 5 o'clock when
several more applications for licenses
will be considered. .

New Haven Register: Before they

is refreshing revelation of mind pro

Their Judgment is not great, but their

truth, as does a perfect mirror. In
some children, indeed, is found at it's
best that sense which. called common,
is rare.

that which we notice as the suffra-

One Fearless Judge.

st. Cloud Times: Judge Albert John
son of Red Wing has not let the de-
cision of the supreme court in the Min
nesota rate case influence him in his
determination to enforce the law
against the railroads. He gave the
grand jury a supplemental charge to
go ahead with their investigation and
bring in indictments against the agents
of the road who had been collecting
3 cents a mile for passenger tickets.
AS the county attorney is under an in-
junction not to act in this case, Sena-
tors Rockne of Goodhue and Schaller
of Dakota counties have volunteered to
act for the county without charge. AS
both are excellent lawyers, some inter-
esting developments may be expected.
