ENORMOUS Loss IS
CAUSED BY STRIKE
ORE SHIPS LYING IDLE AT DOCKS
WHILE LABoRERs REFUSE TO
RETURN TO WORK.

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. s.-There was
little change in the strike situation
here today. This means continued
loss OF more than 100000 a day to
shipping to miners on the iron range,
to range railroads and to dock COM
panies and workers. The fleet Of ore
boats grows daily.
Duluth strikers presented their de-
mands to the Missabe officials but the
company refused to recognize them.
The Missabe people stated today that
the strike can be broken in twenty
four hours and that this action will be
taken IL the men don't resume work.
The Industrial Workers Of the World
failed to spread the strike to Two Har-
bars, and movement Of ore there Is
normal.
Steamship companies are diverting
vessels to other ports and no ore ship
n,ents from Duluth or Superior will be
scheduled until the trouble abates.

DENIES THAT DEBT
!. IS PUT ON STATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL coSSoh
SAYS THAT. ACT OF LEGiSLA- 2
TuRE WAS LEGAL.

Des Moines Aug. S.-George Cosson,
attorney general, who today is making
the final argument for the state in the
capitol grounds injunction suit before
Judge ]. H. Applegate in the district
court, declared that the legislature in
providing for the extension did not
contemplate that the executive coun-
ell should anticipate single dollar
beyond the constitutional limitation.
"The statute in question does not
create a debt Of the state for the rea-
son that the legislature at the time OF
providing for the extension Of the cap
itol grounds also appropriated suffi
cient funds to be raised by taxation to
meet the obligation" said Mr.. Cosson.
Under the authorities such an appro-
priation prevented the obligation from
becoming q debt within the meaning OF
the constitution
Mr.. Cosson argued that the action of
the legislature in authorizing the i'm
provement merely exercised the taxing
power Of the sovereignty, which Is un-
limited by the constitution. He devoted
considerable time in replying especially
to each of the contentious raised by
the counsel for the petitioners in the
case.

WAR ON MOSQUITOES
PROVING SUCCESS

New York, Aug. s.-The mosquito
pest around New York and New
Jersey has been reduced more than a
half by the anti-mosquito campaign
this year, according to DR.. Alvah H.
Doty, former health officer of the port
of New York, who has been interested
in the mosquito problem here for more
than fifteen years. On Staten Island in
New York bay, the breeding OF
mosquitoes has been diminished about
eighty per cent and the malaria
variety Of the pest has practically
been extinguished, according to DR..
Doty by swamp drainage, aided by an
unusually dry spring. Similar work on
the Long Island, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut coasts has
brought about reduction OF about
forty per cent in the Breeding.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. $50 much

Government Confident.
Taking of testimony in the trial OF
Maury I. Diggs on the charge Of hav-
ing conspired to violate the federal
white slave statute proceeded today
with the prosecution proclaiming alb
solute confidence of conviction by
reason Of Judge Van Fleets ruling yes
terday on the question of the charac-
ter of women in such cases
''lf Diggs bought the girls transpor-
tation to Reno, the girls antecedents
and the manner OF their going whether
publicly and openly, or secretly and
clandestinely, can have no bearing on
the case" said Judge Van Fleet.
Even If the women were public
prostitutes, he said, that would have
nothing to do with the issue.
