SUPT. WARREN
HAS HEARING
EXPECTED, HOWEVER,, THAT THE
MANDAMUS SUIT WILL BE
DISMISSED.

Minot, N. D., March l1-No final
decision has been handed down by
Judge K. E. Leighton in the man
damus proceedings instituted by E.
G. Warren, superintendent Of schools
against the board of county commits
sioners to compel the payment in full
Of his expense accounts for the month
Of January.
Judge Leighton said after hearing
the arguments that he did not think
that Mr.. Warren had any remedy un-
der the law in mandamus proceedings
He was willing, however, he stated,
to grant continuance Of the case
for few days in order to permit D.
c. Greenleaf, attorney for the super
intendent, to submit any authorities on
the question, to which he might wish
to refer.
If Mr.. Greenleaf does this the case
will probably be wound up some time
during the coming week.
Judge Leighton also stated after
the hearing that so far as he could
see at present there was 10 reason
why the case might not be dismissed.
For this reason it is believed that
there is little further chance that Mr..
Warren will win his case, and be able
to compel the county to pay his full
account.
In order to prevent any possible
danger in the matter, however, R. A.
Nestos, states attorney, and Dorr b.
Carroll, his assistant, will immediate.
ly file with Judge Leighton . list q
their own authorities in the matter,
in which they rest their arguments.
Mr.. Nestos said that he was per-
fectly satisfied with the way the ease
had gone so far.

AUDIENCE WAS
PLEASED WITH
MUSICAL COMEDY.
"BA1KAN PRINCESS" MADE A
GREATER HIT THAN ANY
SHOW EVER HERE.

With one Of the biggest, best and
brightest shows ever staged in Devils
Lake, Manager Miller of the Grand
opera house set new mark in the
show business here with "The Balkan
Princess" last night and he will be
obliged to burn the midnight oil be-
fore he figures out anything that could
be shown here that would beat the
musical comedy, which, unlike most
Of them, had real plot. The kind
that pleased the packed house last
evening.
If there was any spot in the whole
performance that needed retouching it
was forgotten when that most melo-
dious voice of Miss Julia Clifford re.
sounded through the opera house. She
captivated her audience with her first
song and was greeted with rounds OF
applause, after each number. She was
the shining light, made more radiant
with galaxy Of principals all Of
whom could act and sing. The must
cal comedy was rich with wholesome
fun, both in it's sabstract and con.
crete forms, it never had to be sent
back, and the audience just chewed
it up and took it home with them,
without any objections.
Wallace Berry and Tom Van were
indeed touching, and for one who took
such a long jaunt along the canal, Joe
standish gave evidence Of having en-.
joyed his trip. Magda played by Miss
Young, also furnished an excellent
comedy role, and she demonstrated a
real art in choosing husbands, as long
as the insurance money was forth
coming.
Then there was N. E. Dano nice
looking chap with good voice and
those "Dear, Delightful Women" not
the least Of whom was Vera Rossmorc
real artist who had voice, a good
second to that of the English prima
donna, Julia Clifford. The stage set
tings were completed, and the cleo.
trical effects magnificent, and aside
from the frivolity of the chorus wh;c!
sometimes detracted from the real ser
iousness of the production there was
nothing to mar the performance.
"The Balkan Princess" should be
good for its all summer run in Ciica
60, and if any Devils Laker happen:
to be in the windy city during it:
summer engagement at the Garrck
theatre, it is certain that they will moi
neglect to see it again, at least not a:
Icing as Julia Clifford remains in the
east.

BURKE GOVERNOR

FORMER FLICKERTAIL EXECU
TIVE MAY BE CHOICE OF
PRESIDENT.

ttFormer Governor Burke is being
quite prominently mentioned in Wash
ington political circles for governor Of
the Philippine islands or as next Unit
ed States minister to Roumania," said
Col. George W. Wilkinson, editor Of
the North Dakota Democrat, today on
his return home from the Inaugural
ton
cup until the last it was expected
the governor would be included in the
cabinet list, but there were so many
of President Wilson's friends urging
the appointment Of others that it was
impossible to take care of everyone.
However, Governor Burke's friends
need not worry that the president is
going to overlook him, for he is not.
His appointment may not como right
away, but then President Wilson is
yet hardly settled in Office and it
takes time for all these things.

several days during the Inauguration.
With Mrs. Burke and little daughter
we attended the Inauguration. Senat.

us good seats near the chief justice.

DIAb0IICAL SCHEME
 ASCRIBED TO TURKS

Constantinople, March 25.-Ihe am- bassadors of the powers have received information regarding a tiendlsh plot on the part of the Turks to revenge themselves upon the Christians.
 It is stated that 4000 Kurdish irreg- ulars-the most ferocious soldiers in the word-have been housed in the Selimieh barracks, on the Asiatic side of the Bosporus, nearly opposite Con- stantinople, to be let loose upon the Christians in the capital for the pur- poses of massacre and pillage if the city should fall before the allies.
 All the ambassadors have protested against this inhuman scheme, and their battleships have been so placed that three of them command the bar racks and have orders to blow them to pieces on the first sign of movement towards the capital.
 The Committee of Union and Pro, gress, the Young Turk executive or ganization, denies that any such crime was Contemplated, but the ambassa- dors have precise information regard ing the projected infamy.
