Comes From Chicago to Demand That
He Administer Estate Of De-
ceased Greek La
borers.
ARGUMENTS IN COURT
Lawyers Differ In Interpretations Of
tho Treaty Between This
Country and
4 Greece.

Arguments on the motion to strike
the defendants amendment to its
answer in the matter OF Loomis, adm,
against the water power company
were heard In the district court before
Judge Bank this morning. The motion
is In two cases brought by LOOMS to
recover damages for two Greeks kill
ed by dynamite north OF the city. The
Greek consul accompanied by his law
yer entered the controversy this after
noon.
The water power company was rep
resented by w. 3. Blake and denies
that Loomis is the duly appointed and
qualified administrator, alleging that
under the terms Of the treaty between
this country and Greece the Greek
consul should be the administrators.
He declared that LOOMS was still a
citizen Of Greece, an alien, and that
his appointment is unlawful.
Judge Hughes, representing LOOMS,
declared that he had full right to
maintain the action. basing his argu-
ment on his Interpretation OF the
treaty and the statutes Of this state.
Treaties are construed just like any
other instrument" he declared. SIN
a treaty between the United States
and any other nation the United
States has no power to say that the
state shall make any laws for their
benefit. 1t is not in the power of the
United States and Greece to make a
law for the state of Iowa and say if
Greek subject is killed that the con-
sui of Greece must pass a law giving
consular officer the right to be adj
ministrator and sue for damages"
He attacked Mr. Blake's interpretation
OF the treaty and declared that the
statutes OF the state have provided
q way through the courts by confer
ring power on the administrator.

Judge Hughes began the closing ar.
gument for the plaintiff in the case

Statement Of Treaty.

Mr.. Blake argued that by the terms

It is stated that the Greek consul has

Rep. f. E. Ployhar spent saturda!
and Sunday in the city with his family

Sec-Treas. James E. Buttree of the
Whitlatch Consolidated Mining Co. is
wearing smile that will never come
off. He is in receipt of a telegram
from their manager of the mine at
Austin, New, stating they have struck
six foot vein OF strong milling grade
Of Ore and drifting will be commenced
at once. Mr.. Buttree was especially
lleased when he heard a veteran in
the mining business, Gen. Peake, state
that six foot vein was phenomi-
nal strike. Mr.. Buttree has proven
himself promoter of exceptional
ability as he has raised sufficient
money during the past couple of years
to largely pay for the mining property
AID do considerable work or the same
and the good news just received will
tend to bolster up many of the faint
hearts who have been with him in the
undertaking. Assay values of the
strike have not yet arrived but a
strong grade Of mining ore should run
from $4,000 to $4,000 per ton and
which will prove highly gratifying
considering the strike was made so
near the surface. Mr.. Buttree's
many friends are congratulating him
on his good work and strike.

North Ddk0tjdnS
Picnic in California

Fully $500 North Dakotans an(
| more than 1900 .Nebraskans gathered
at Sycamore grove California ant
held separate picnics, the occasion
being the annual event for the for
mer and the semi-annual picnic Of
the latter state societies. Represen
tatives from every county of the oil
home states were present.
The North Dakotans took advan
tage of the large assemblage to hold
their annual election of officers
which resulted in the following mem
bers being chosen to serve for the
ensuing year: NJ II. Kic, president;
J. E. Myra, T. Cummings and R. P,
Sherman, vice presidents, and A. NJ.
Gamble, secretary and treasurer.
Members of both state societies
reached the picnic grounds early in
the forenoon. The children quickly
decided on the waterways as their
headquarters and soon were playing
pioneers as their ancestors had been.
The old folks selected places for
themselves and settled down to a
comfortable day discussing old times.
The young people sought the shady
hooks beneath the giant sycamores
and renewed old acquaintance be-
gun back in the old state.
Everybody had a big basket Of
good things to eat and everybody was
happy. Registers of the various
counties of the states were kept on
long tables, and those who had not
been affiliated with the state society
quickly became members and regis
tered.
The North Dakotans had a large
banner flung across their part of the
grove. 1t read: North Dakota, the
place to make money; California, to
spend it."
