About $4,000 in
Escaped Taxes Added
to Roll in Barnes Co.
State Tax Commission Has Completed Assessment ofLeas
ed Lands That Have Been Escaping Taxation in
-, Past-Means Big Increase in Revenue

- Valley City, N. D. Oct. 22.-The
state tax commission has completed
the assessment of leased railroad sites
and escaped property in Barnes coun-
ty While the field work has been
done in a large number of counties
the leases have just been received
from some of the railroad companies
and the work of securing the ,descrip-
tion and area of each leased business
site on the right Of way of railways
has been completed and totals made
for Barnes county. In Barnes county
alone the escaped property which will
be placed upon the tax rolls by order
of the commission amounts to $780,
17S. AS the average tax. rate for
Barnes county is approximately s per
cent, this means an actual revenue to
the various taxing districts in that
county for next year of $13,915.90
This revenue, of course, is an esti-
mate as the property may be raised
or lowered by the various boards next
year and the average rate is by no
means an absolute quantity. Howev-
er as a large bulk of the property Is
in Valley City and all of it in the
towns and villages of the county, the
estimate OF 5 per cent is very con-
servatiye. ~.'
This total amount, $243,503, is the
assessed valuation of leased sites
which have hitherto escaped taxation.

ABLE SEAMEN
TO NAN BOATS

Washington, Oct. %. - Rigid laws
requiring liable seamen" in sufficient
numbers to man all life boats We're
declared by Senator LaFollette today
to be necessary for the safety of
passengers and crews of vessels on
the ocean and the great lakes.
Urging the adoption Of his own sub
stitute for the Nelson "seaman's s
servitude" bill, which President Taft
refused to approve and which is again
before the senate, Senator LaFollette
said the Nelson bill failed to meet the
situation because it did not require
experienced and trained men in the
deck crews of vessels. The substitute
would require at least two able sea-
men for each lifeboat. ..~
The senator also insisted, safety at
sea might often be determined in a
crisis by the ability of the crew to
understand it's officers. His bill pro-
vides that rs per cent of the crew
shall understand the language of the
officers. BAH
The senate will vote on the seamen's
bill Thursday under an agreement
that ends all debate at four O'clock
that day. III.

Foster said:
1T appears in this indictment, in al.
three counts, that the publication al
legged to have been sent through the
mails In violation of the law Is an
extract from a complete article. 1t is
clearly my opinion that the govern
ment Is required to plead the entire
article. The article is obscene as g.
whole or is not obscene and we can
not take out few paragraphs here
and there and charge them as obscene
and make them the basis Of an indict-
ment. 1t may be that a paragraph
here and there is sufficient to impress
but the defendant is entitled to be
charged with sending the complete ar
ticle.
THE publication is an entire thing.
1t Is not a part or extract. We would
be able to indict a sender Of the Bible
on this theory. We might take the
episode Of potiphars, or the relations
of Oman to his brothers widow, or
something of that sort and indict just
as well.
Il am not pretending to rule on any
other feature of this indictment. The
question Of whether it is obscene if
set out in dead language is not pass
ed upon. On this view ] will sustain
the motion to quash.
TT Is possible for the government to
reindict and make these entire articles
part of the Indictment"
What course the United States dis
trict attorney will pursue still is in
doubt.

SNOTHERED TO
DEATH IN GRAIN

Minneapolis, Oct. 22.-Michael
Kucherson, 221a Ramsey street, was
suffocated to death in a bin of ground
grain at the works of the Information :
al Sugar Feed Co. Fifteenth avenue
southeast and Rollins avenue. Police
Surgeon Lewis Van De Boget worked
over the body for half an hour afteEt
1t had been discovered thirty feet be-
low the surface of the huge grain bin,
but even the pulrnotor failed to re-,
vive life. -
The bins where the grain is mixed
in the manufacture of the feed are
about thirty feet deep, and empty di-
rectly into, a hopper at the bottom
preparatory to another grinding. Each
bin holds from two to three carloads
of the -four like mixture Workmen
walk on a raised platform above the
bins and with long forks keep the
grain stirring into the hopper thirty
feet below. Kucherson, among others,
was employed at this task.
Some Of the ,workmen noticed there
was no one attending bin No. 3, and
an investigation followed. The men
prodded around, and found one of the
forks in the mixture, but could get no
trace Of the missing man. Several Of
the men removed their clothing, and
fastened boards to their waists and
jumped into the quicksand- like con-
tents of the bin. The boards prevent
ed them from sinking.
After half an hour the body of
Kucherson was found, head down
ward, almost at the bottom of the bin
and but a few feet from the mouth Of
the hopper into which it would have
been drawn. The men lifted the body
! out, and call was sent for an ambu-
lance. Despite all his efforts the po-
lice surgeon was compelled to pro-
noUnce Kucherson dead.
S. L. Frazer, superintendent Of the
| works. later said he did not see how
the man could have fallen from the
runways around the tops of the bins,
as they were protected by high
boards. Unless a man deliberately
jumped, or for some unknown, and, he
insists, unnecessary reason, climbed
| over on top of the bins, he could not
see how the accident could have oc-,
Cured. The men were warned, the
superintendent said, of the dangerous
and deadly character of the grain in
the bins, should they accidentally fall
into it.
Kucherson was about IS years of
age and unmarried.

JUDGE SAYS ARTICLE
AS A WHOLE MUST BE
OBSCENE to- BE BARRED

Augusta, Ga, Oct. 22.-Holding that
the Indictment charging Thomas E.
Watson, editor, author and once pres
idential candidate of the populist par
ty, with sending obscene matter
through the mails, was Illegal, Federal
Judge Foster yesterday ordered the
case thrown out of court.
In sustaining the motion of the de-
fense to quash the indictment, Judge
Foster brought the trial to an un-
expected close. A large crowd attend
announced his ruling the spectators
broke into cheering. Judge Foster ig-
nored this demonstration, which quick
ly subsided.
1t was set upon the contention rails
ed by Watson himself that the court
order the case dismissed.
Watson, who is a lawyer, addressed
the court briefly, laying stress upon
, his claim that the indictment should
not select certain passages Of the ar
ticle written by him, but should in
clude the entire matter. He said that
unless this were true it would be pos
sible to indict persons mailing copies
of the Bible or the criminal code of
Georgia.
Argument against the motion by Dis
trict Atty. Alexander Akerman was
brief and limited to a defense of the
governments position that the indict-
ment need merely indicate the alleged
obscene passages and not the entire
article.

enthusiasts will gladly receive this
great gift with heartfelt appreciation.
The club will be known as the Rea
Country, club, which will be a most
appropriate tribute to It's donors.

train LOG, at the highway crossing one
and one-half miles west of Manfred.

few minutes after being picked up by
the train crew.
From the engineer it is learned
that the man lay with his head on
the rail. the rest OF his body outside,
at the highway crossing above men
toned, and that at first sight appear
ed to be a coat, this belief being fur
ther strengthened by the fact that
some section men were engaged a
short distance from this spot. When
the difference was noted, it was too
late to stop the train, and the whis-
tie was blown continuously in the eff
fort to arouse the man, but without
avail.
The man was struck on the head
and was thrown aside but not
mangled, and expired a few minutes
after being picked UP, without regain
ing consciousness. He was taken to
Fessenden and the coroner notified.
1t has been suggested that the man
was dazed or unconscious when lying
on the track, but officials believe he
suicided.

This means a net income of better
than $4,000 to the revenues of the
county OF the remainder $2S,875 is
church property which the commits
sion is placing upon the tax roofs. 1t
does not include any property used
exclusively for religious purposes-no
church or parsonage being included in
the amount. The property known as
the Episcopal Hall and the Methodist
Hall, boarding houses for young Ia
dies, constitute almost the entire
amount. There is but 5000 of 9TH
er property which is being rented by
church societies for secular purposes
The remaining $500 is assessed
against fraternal property. Of this
amount $500 is assessed against the
Elks home, as real estate and S4OO as
personal property. The remaining $70C
covers the personal property Of the
various lodges and kindred societies
in the county. .....
The assessment does not include
Co. G's armory nor the proper
ty Of the Barnes County Fair assocIa-
ton,
In passing 1t might be suggested
that the revenue which will accrue &c
Barnes county next year as a result
of the activities of the tax commission
will more than pay for the total main
tenance of that department of state
arnment during it's first year OF
existence. ''=

DEPUTY
NARSHALS
EXEMPT

Washington, Oct. 22-The president
today signed the urgent deficiency bill
carrying exemptions from civil service
of deputy federal marshals, and depu-
ty revenue collectors
The, president made the following
statement: II am convinced, after
a careful examination, that deputy
collectors and deputy marshals were
never intended to be included under
the ordinary provisions of the civil
service law.
MY warm advocacy and support,
both of the principle and bona fide
practice Of civil service reform is
known to the whole country and there
is no danger that the spoils principle
will creep in with my approval or con-
nivance.'r --
The president took the position that
bonded officials were directly respon-
sible for their subordinates and could
choose more efficient men by person
al selection than by examination, be-
cause Of the personal equation enter
ing the confidential relations between
employer and employee.

members will start in by paying their
annual dues, which will be $25.
This will relieve them all of paying
entrance fees, or taking stock for the
erection of a club house or the prepa-
ration Of the green's, which is a big
item. Everything OF this sort will be
donated by the Misses Rea who are
giving the club to the people Of the
city,
The only item of expense to the in
dividual member will be his annual
dues Of $25 which begin next April.
This fee is within the reach of every
young business man in the city as
well as for the older and more estab-
iished business men of larger financial
means. -<.

at the club house all the time SO that

cared for there and it Is probable that

fine boat landing will be put in
so that parties may go out to the club
either by automobile Or river launch.
The Misses Rea have planned to plant
a fine hedge around the place so that
1t will be more than attractive in ap-
pearance.
The total cost will amount to some
thing like $4,000 or $4,000 when
completed.
The Misses Rea have already start
ed making a canvass for the member
ship of the club and from the en-
couragement received both last night
at the commercial club meeting and
the initial canvass this morning, the
project looks like a tremendous sue
cess. Everybody will want to join. 1t
is hoped that the Rea Country club,
Miss Rea said this morning, would be
ready for the members not later than
June ], 1914. SO as to be in perfect
readiness for the actual beginning of
