STALWART MANEUVERS
Cost Burleigh County the Neat Sum
of $2,O5l.31

of $2,O51.31
The costs in the case of State VS..
G. l.. Bickford, ex-state treasurer,
have at last been paid by Burleigh
county.
This celebrated case, it will he re-
membered, was tried in Mclean coun-
ty about two years ago, on a charge
of venue taken by the defendant, the
case having been originally started in
Burleigh county.
For trying this case, Mclean coun-
ty rendered bill to Burleigh county
in the sum of $2,051.31, costs and dis
bursements in the action, which was
allowed by the Burleigh county board
of commissioners in the sum of
$795.7O, on advice of ex-States Attor-
ney w. L. Smith. Mclean county re-
fused to accept this amount, either as
part payment or in full settlement,
and threatened to bring suit against
Burleigh county unless the full amount
of the bill was forthcoming.
The matter came up for discussion
at the meeting of the commissioners
held on Tuesday and Wednesday OF
this week, and, on the advice of States
Attorney Berndt, the commissioners
allowed the bill in full, and instructed
County Auditor Flaherty to draw a
warrant in favor of Mclean county
for $2,051.31.

Former Terpsichorean, With Whose Picture
Wealthy Broker Fell in Love Declares
She Has Forsaken Stage

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Toes Of

has said so and she promised to obey
no later than Monday.
When the dancer became the wife
of Fritz Won Frantzius he had but
one order. It was an edict against
the dancing that so many have paid
out real dollars to see and which
did much toward winning the heart
of the Chicago banker, who is now
her husband.

She may trip a few steps as she
steps from budoir to dining room.
She may assume a classic pose every
now and then when she asks the
janitor why the heat isn't turned on
But these performances will be for
the home circle To the general pub
lie Saharet has ceased to exist.
To-day Mrs. Won Frantzius was
very much at home IN her suite at
the Plaza Hotel, but she had not for
gotten her stage life SO completely

Asks Divorce When
Husband Denied Her
Right to Comb Hair
Wife Tells Court That Inasmuch as
Suffrage Is Given Woman She
Should Care for Tresses.

Los ANGELES, June 2s-"Suf-
rage has been accorded TO women
why then can l not comb my hair
when and where l want tor"
This question, addressed to Judge
Monroe by Mrs. Lucille Evarts, raised
one OF the most vexing points he had
been confronted with in the divorce
court. Mrs. Evarts demands a d.
vorce from Eugene B. Evarts for the
above cause. To think it over, Judge
Monroe continued the case.
wouldn't he let you comb your
hair?" the Judge had asked.
Not only that, but the way ne
made me stop was anything but that

Il will say" continued Judge Mon

to comb her hair. in ract it is a
highly commendable trait when a
woman will insist on being undis-

Mrs. Evarts tripped out OF court
evidently highly pleased with the
case she had made out.
He cannot deny he inteferred, y

But just a moment later she de-

COLLEGE GIRLS
DECLARED BEST

Speakers Say University Training
Equips Women for the Various
Duties of Family Life.

IOWA CITY, IOWA. June 2S.-Uni-
versity girls are not spoiled as home
makers by their college education, ac-
cording to Mrs. James Swan. of 2216
Kenwood Parkway, Minneapolis, who
responded to the toast, THE Lady
and the Ginger Jar" at the Univer-
sity Of Iowa banquet. the social fea-
ture Of the fifty third annual COM
mencement exercises at Iowa City.
Mrs. Swan was Miss Ethel A. Elliott,
of the class Of 1906, Iowa University.
Mrs. Swan declared:
1T is all folly to say that university
girls do not make good homes. The
woman who has a complete four-year
course in the university is fully
equipped for her place in the home.
when a girl is given all the ad-
vantages that a great State university
can well afford to give her through its
university course; when her mind is
trained to quick and sensible action
so she can with womanly grace adjust
herself to the different and varied de-
mands upon the present day matron;
when she is on an intellectual equali-
ty with her better half when she
has a trained imagination to grasp
and understand a view different from
her own. then will the home be a sue

HEIRS To RICHES
LEFT BY TITANIC
VICTIM SOUGHT
J. Montague Smart, Prominent
Business Man, Left Fortune.
No Trace of BenefCiaries.

NEW YORK. June 2s.-During his
active life ]. Montgomery Smart was
a man of mystery. Now that his
bones lie in the sunken Titanic, his
past ts a greater puzzle than ever,
and so far it is unsolved. Usually
when a man dies. even though he may
have been of distinction, his hidden
history is buried with him. But
Smart was a man of wealth and It
became necessary to try to discover
vital facts of his intimate personal
life.
Thus began a world wide search
that has served only to make the case
OF ]. Montgomery Smart all the
stranger. He was an honored and
successful man of business, whose
transactions were international in
scope, even extending from New York
to Australia.
Necessary to Find Heirs.
Having left money, 1t became neo-
essary to find his heirs. 1t was re-
membered that this man of silence
never described his family. II was
known that he had been married and
that his wife had died ten years be-
fore. Vague words dropped here and
there were gathered and It became
apparent that Smart had two chill
dren, a boy OF 20 and a girl Of Is.
But no one could be found who had
any definite idea of their where
abouts.
Into three countries of Europe the
filaments of inquiry extended. The
American consuls Of many ports
were asked to aid in the hunt. That
was in May, 1912.
One fact was discovered In the
course of the Belgian hunt II was
asserted that the children were IN
charge of a Mrs. Cook who was a
great friend of Mrs. Smart, and that
Smart was paying her literally to
care for them. But who was Mrs.
Cook? Her identity was also impos-
sible to discover and the hunt settled
down into a hope that the guardian
would write for funds, thus solving
the riddle. But she has been swal-
lowed in silence.
Had Many Acquaintance.
AS president of the American Cold
Storage and Shipping Company
Smart had made many acquaintance
among prominent business men OF
New York, London, Berlin, Paris and
many other cities throughout the
world. Many believed that they knew
him we'll. But when the test came,
they were surprised to find that only
the barest information was obtain
able about his personal affairs.
Smart was a hermit in a great city
and he was a hermit in his many voy-
ages and travels in foreign countries

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-Troopers
at Fort Myer have begun prepare

Shenandoah Valley next month to
participate in maneuvers expected to
result in reorganization of the mount
ed forces of the army.
The Shenandoah Valley, where
phil" Sheridan made his famous ride
80 years ago, has been chosen as the
blOodless battle ground for the test.
For two months this summer a full
brigade of cavalry and a battery of
horse artillery will maneuver and
fight" over the red roads, the green
hills, and fields near Winchester.
The department has leased a tract
of ground one mile broad and two
miles long in the heart of the Shen-

were issued to the troops some time
ago.

chief of staff, United States Army,
probably will spend much time there,
and President Wilson may make the
trip.
The necessity for a rehabilitation of
the cavalry was disclosed when the
general staff some time ago made
ambitious plans for the reorganiza-
tion of the army so as to prepare 1t
for the defense of the country against
attack by any great military power.
This resulted in the sending to Eu
rope last year of a board Of six cav
airy officers, who studied the German,
Russian, Austro- Hungarian, French
and English organizations

Some of the practical questions to
be worked out are:
How large a command can a cap

How many such units can colonel
handle TO the best advantage under
conditions approximating hostilities
The new formation Of the cavalry
into double ranks also will be tried
out on a large scale, a practical test
