Republicans Fight to
Have Tariff Hearings
Open to the Public
STANDARD OIL
GETS REHEARING
g~. 90 y .a.y ..r

Jefferson City, Mo- May 10.-The
Missouri supreme court granted a re-
hearing in the custer proceedings
against the Standard Oil CO. of In
diana and appointed John Montgomery
Sedalia commissioner to take testi-
mony concerning the good faith of the
company in severing it's connection
with any trusts.
= The court also issued an order sus-
pending thew rite Of custer against
the Standard Oil Co. The application
for a rehearing was made by the COM
pany on several grounds, one being
that the court in it's decision ousting
the, company stood five to three, the
three new judges who were elected
since the arguments were heard in the
case voting to oust the company. The
old judges, before whom all the argu-
ments were heard stood 2 to 2, and the
company asked a rehearing on the
ground that the new judges had not
had chance to hear the arguments.

Washington, May Secretary
Bryan and Viscount Chinda met early
in conference over the California alien
land bill. Japan's protest has already
been formally presented. and the am
bassador was seeking to learn what
the United States proposed to do about
the bill already passed by the Califor-
mia Legislature, and awaiting Governor
Johnson'S signature.
The conference lasted an hour and
at its conclusion, Viscount Chinda paid
a short visit to Counsellor Moore. No
statement was issued concerning what
had taken place but it is known that
having presented the views of his own
government in objection to the. Cali
fornia legislation, as well. as Arizona,
the ambassador withdrew to await the
formal. answer of the state department.
Before that is given, Bryan wished to
confer with the president, and, as Will
son is ON a. trip to Mt. Vernon, the an
swer will probably not sbe given Chin
da until late today.

While public attention was con-
centrated on the work of the Cali
fornia legislature in passing a bill
to exclude non resident Japanese
from ownership of farming lands,
the Arizona Legislature was at
work on a similar bill. The lower
house = of the legislature passed
thek measure Monday, and it will
go to the upper house and perhaps
to Gov. George w. p. Hunt.
: The Japanese truck farmers and
small ranchers are indignant over
the bill. N. Oyo, president of the
Arizona japanese association, is in
California on his way to Japan
with the body of his wife, who
died here last week, and Henry
Ninifiki, one of the moving spirits
in the organization, is in Jail in
Globe on a charge of killing an
aged American woman there.
The local Japanese were at sea
in the matter until some of them
got together. They said that be-
fore Oyo started for Japan last
Saturday night he was authorized
to lay the sentiment, of the Japan
ese, in this state before the gov
ernment at Toxic. Whether this
will take, the form Of request for
a revision of the existing law in
Arizona or whether it will be made
in behalf of their, countrymen in
California, the members of the as
sociation here declined. to say.

All of the members Of the city COM
mission We're in their seats at 10 this
morning and remained in session until
after the noon hour and a good deal
of business was attended to.
The city has been asked by the
commercial club to take charge of the
electric lights that We're used in
streamers at times of conventions and
the matter was taken under advise
ment. Tie members were very yen
orally in favor of it, saying that these
lights were among the bsst that could
be had in the way of advertising for
the city,. r. -
:. A. board walk made of wood which
is in bad shape was discussed and the
board Sdecfded that it should be, con
demfAd, but that unless a petition sor
a new walk be asked for there would
be no further action taken. 1t was
decided that this walk was dangerous
to pedestrians.
Contracts Awarded. T. .-
There was a good deal of discus
sion over the question of the new con-
crete sidewalks and crossings and
every member of the commission took
part in what was said. 1t was decid-
ed to award the contract to Robert
Johnson for crossings at $1.70 per
yard and to the Great Northern Fuel
& Concrete Co. for, walks at $1.05 per
square yard provided the company
would enter into a contract to do the
filling at Is cents per yard. This con-
tract will be offered to the two and
will likely be signed. .h
Some Damage Suits.
Judge w. H, Barnett, representing
his client, Mrs. Thomas who fell on
defective sidewalk in the Fifth ward
and was badly injured appeared be-
fore the commission and stated that
the suit was for $4,000 for damages and
the city attorney was asked concern
ing the case and he stated that the
judge had offered to effect settle
ment upon the payment of $1,000, but
that the city attorney had decided to
advise refusing such settlement and
he said that it was possible the
courts might make it less, and would
hardly go above that figure, and that
the city had nothing to lose During
the discussion the statement was made
that this was the third case to be pre-
sented, one was for $25,050 and the
other was for $10.200. The matter
was referred to Messrs. Ames and
Stern and the city attorney, who will
go over the Thomas case with Mr..
Barnett. The latter stated that his
client who was badly injured would
hardly ever be able to use her arm
again. 49,
Asked for Assistance.
City Attorney Smith stated that as
he was chairman of the state bar as
sociation examiners and that he was
also commissioner of Bankruptcy for
this section, his time would be
very much taken. He said that he had

Sota, Automobile club called the state
meeting to order this afternoon with
the following towns represented: /, Far
go, Grand Forks, Cooperstown, WaliE
peton, Bismarck, Chaffee,, Lidgerwood,
and Valley City and the principal bus
mess of the afternoon was in going
over the reports of the different offices
which were read by the secretary
Seth Richardson oft his city, and these
were all discussed. i
Another matter that came up for at
tention was that of the Glidden tour
visit to this city all day Sunday, July
IS, and it was unanimously decided
that the, state organization should take
notice of this and as many members
as possible be in attendance here that
day. The meeting was one of the most
important that has yet been held, for it
was the annual session.
All of the different delegates were
much in favor of litigation that would
in the future tend to make the roads
of the entire state in much better
condition. ..s ~:

Secretary's Report.
Secretary Richardson stated that for
several years Fargo's auto club had
been :endeayoring to secure member
ship in the national organization, but
ite was only last year that the three
towns necessary for membership could
be secured and that now there were
eight towns with membership of
about 600
He stated that this would be found
to be of great benefit to all of the own
sersf of autos in the state and he was
very much pleased to see that Grand
Forks had entered the list, as we'll as.
the others, for in numbers there was
strength and in time he hoped to see
every town and city in the state mem
bers.
President. Smith remarked that
when he was in Minneapolis recently
he had been told that the coming Cid
den tour, which. its it's trip in Fargo,
was intended to be an owners trip
rather than one for the manufacturers
and he would like to see a North Da 81
kota owner of car be selected to
make the trip and this was discussed
at some length and this will likely be
done as soon as the members can se-
lect the man to make the trip. Rout :
inc. business was then attended to, the
club being in session until late hour.

has been favorable and some fast time
is expected.

too many evnts.

HENRY BELLS COMET.
The First Steamer That Piled For Hire
In Great Britain.

Among the curiosities of advertising
may surely be placed the first adver-
tisement of the first steamer that piled
for hire in Great Britain-namely,
Henry Bells Comet. Thus ran the ad-
vertisement in the Glasgow Courier Of
1912:
Steam passage boat, the Comet, be-
tween Glasgow. Greenock and Helens-
burg. For passengers only. The sub
scriber having at much expense fitted
up handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between Glasgow and
Greenock-to sail by the power of
wind, air and steam-he intends that
the vessel shall leave the Broomielaw
on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Satur-
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state of the tide and to leave Green
ock on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days in the morning to suit the tide.
The elegance. comfort, safety and
speed of this vessel require only to be
proved to meet the appreciation of
the public. and the proprietor is de-
termined to do everything in his power
to merit public encoura cement. The
terms are for the present shilings
for the best cabin and 3 shillings for
the second. but beyond these rates
nothing is to be allowed to servants or
any other person employed about the
vessel
What would poor neglected Henry
Bell have said could he have seen his
humble little Comet. of whose ele-
gance. comfort and speed he was so
proud, alongside modern ocean
racer or one of the latest palatial river
steamers of the Clyde or Thames, all
so we'll advertised ?-Chambers Jour
nal.
