MATRIMONIAL
BUREAU FAKE

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 14.-Louise
Farris, Of Princeton. Ind, central fig
ure in fake matrimonial bureau
scheme involving her father and moth
er, Martin and Emma Farris, did not
appear satisfied yesterday afternoon
when Judge "A. B. Anderson, in United
States district court, suspended SEN
tence. The girl pleaded guilty in No
vember to an Indictment charging her
with using the mails to defraud. The
father and mother were given r'sus-
pended sentences few days ago.
Miss Farris, who was arrested In
Washington, D. c., begged the judge
to remove the suspended sentence, de-
claring it would always be source of
worry. Judge Anderson. however,
would not grant her request. He said
he intended to see that she lived UP
to her reform promises.
The girl freely confessed her part
in the matrimonial scheme, accepting
most of the blame and trying to exon
seventeen years she had been prac-
tically a prisoner in the Farris home
and that she was not permitted to
leave the house except occasionally al
night.
About Dec. /, society woman found
the girl On a street in Washington, ID.
10. She was hysterical. The woman
took her home and when 1t was found
Miss Farris had nearly $1,000 and a
quantity of jewelry in her possession,
she was turned over to the police
She said she gave Washington at
torney $500 as his fee The remainder
of the money and jewelry were re-
turned to her today
Miss Farris contended, as she has
done since her arrest that she is the
daughter of Martin Farris' brother,
but Farris insists she is his youngest
child.

CITY COMMISSION
CONSTITUTIONAL

Madison. Wis. Jan. 14.-1The state su-
preme court has sustained as constitu-
tionaI the commission form of govern
ment in Appleton, by deciding in be-
half of the Appleton board of fire and
police commissioners in the suit
brought against 1t by William Bloom
er, a discharged policeman.
The court holds constitutional the
provision that no saIoonkeeper shall
be eligible as member OF the commits
sion. The court says the office is not
q, constitutional one and also justifies
sibly, if one or more retail liquor deal
ers were placed on the governing
board of a city, their private interests
might conflict with their duty to$ tho
public. This is held as a legitimate
reason, for their disqualification. Y
Bloomer, in his contention before the
supreme court, claimed his removal was
illegal because the police and fire COM
mission which was in existence when
the city changed to the commission
form was the only legal board author.
lied to remove from the force.

SHOW TO
START

Indications are that the fifth annual
show of the North Dakota Kennel as
ISOLATION, to be held in the Wheelock
Automobile garage In this city from
Jan. 81 to %, will be the biggest and
most successful show that the associ-
alton has ever held. .@' q.
The business men of the city have
contributed very literally to make
this show a success. and there are
more than fifty fine silver cups offered
as -rizes. Tt is safe to say that very
few cities Of the size OF Fargo have
ever shown a better array of cups for
a dog show. The members of the as
ISOLATION feel greatly indebted to the
men who l. I've been SO liberal in their
presentation Of cups, and will do all
in their power to make the coming
show not only credit to the mem
bers. but also to the city of Fargo,
ing 1t q success. In addition to the
cups presented by Fargo business
men there are several from other cit
les. The st. Paul Dispatch has pre-.
sented handsome cup, as has also
the First National bank Of Moorhead.
and the First State bank of Moorhead.
Thos. Rooney of Regina has also Of
fered beautiful cup.
A glance over the cups which are
furnished and engraved by J. C. s..
Nelson, the jeweler of this city, will
satisfy the most skeptical that Fargo
is entitled to the large number of en-
tries she is receiving from all parts
of the United States and Canada.
Some of the most enthusiastic admir-
ers and supporters of the Fargo show
are friends of the local association

CHANGES
IN ARMY
URGED

Washington, Jan. 14-Four steps of
vital Importance, essential to place
the United States army in state OF
reasonable preparedness for possible
war, were recommended to Secretary
Garrison by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
in his last annual report as chief of
staff.
General Wood proposed:
First-Establishmen Of reserve of
trained men sufficient to bring the
regular army Immediately to full sta
tutory strength, and to replace the
losses of the first three months of
war.
second-Prompt provision of the re-
naming AZ per cent of the field artil-
lery project, including guns as yet
unprovided for and the necessary am
munition for those now made or un-
der manufacture.
Third--Creation Of the necessary or
ganizations to give three complete
tactical infantry divisions within the
continental limits of the United States.
Fourth-Bnactmen Of such person
mel legislation as will eliminate ef-
fectively the unfit, and stimulate the
efficient officer to continued efforts
through establishing a condition under
which progress in rank and command
will have close and dependent rela-
tionship upon capacity. fitness and
accomplishment.
The establishment of the reserve and
the completion Of the artillery project
lie general said should be carried out
at once to avert disaster in time Of
war. The shortage Of ammunition, he
added, constituted grave danger, as
the ammunition could not be manu-
factured without great delay. The
tactical infantry divisions are neces-
sary to complete one field army OF
about 10000 regular troops within the
continental limits of the United States.
This would mean a field army OF
about 10000 mobile troops in a popu-
lation OF more than S0,000,000. Il.
The report referred to, the Mexican
situation only in connection with the
border patrol for. the enforcement Of
the neutrality laws and the protection
Of the people on the border. General
Wood said this work has been per-
formed in an admirable manner, indi-
eating a high degree OF discipline.
The division assembled at Texas City,
he said, had been maintained In excel-
lent condition, the camp sanitation
rejecting great credit on the medical
corps.

Toxic, Jan. 14.-Oficial reports from
southern Japan where volcanic erup-
tions and earthquakes caused heavy
loss Of life, panic and great property
damage, state that the eruption of the
volcano of Sakura-Jima, which caus-
ed the most devastation, Is abating.
Troops and jackies from the warships
are vainly endeavoring to ascertain
the exact loss of life, but it will be a
number Of days before a report can
be made.
Kagoshima, the nearest big city to
Sakura, while it suffered great dam
age from the earthquake. does not ap-
pear to have sustained great loss Of
life. H. Ijuin, former Japanese min
lister to China, who lives at Kagoshi-
ma, sent a dispatch to the foreign Of

and thirty seriously injured there.

erected a hut in field, and now are
busily engaged in repairing the tele-
graph equipment. Kagoshima is pro-
tected from looters by patrols Of
troops and the police.
All the Americans in the vicinity
are reported safe Word to this effect
has been received from Carl r. Deich-
man, American consul at Nagasaki,
who telegra phed as follows: Private
telegram states that Americans in
Kagoshima fled to Sendai, near Kago-
shima. All are SAFE"
Several American missionaries are
stationed at Kagoshima-
Sakura- -Jima, at the height of the
eruption, is pictured as a terrifying
mountain of fire. The air for miles
around was thick with ashes and
smoke. The police and soldiers at
Kagoshima, soon after the disturb
ance began, made many rescues from
the island Of Sakura.

Norman, Okla, Jan. 14.-Oklahoma
could supply the world with salt for
thousands of years. If the water of
the salt springs were evaporated daily
the amount of salt thus obtained
would amount to 100000 gallons.
In a year this daily production
would load a train sixty-six miles
long. But this would be only a part
Of the natural salt resources Of this
state. In some places along the Cimar-

ly shovel the salt into wagons and
