'coRoNER's JURY GIVES VERDICT
jamestown, N D., May 9.-The
hearing by the coroner's jury on the
request over the finding Of the body
of Mrs. George Ripley on the Span
gler, farm was resumed today. There
seems to be no doubt whatever OF the
identity of the remains as those OF
Mrs. RIPLEY.
Sheriff Wright made thorough
search in the straw pile where the
body was found for any other evil
dences that might be used to identify
the remains. Every portion Of the
pile was carefully raked over, but
nothing else was found except what
had been previously reported. In the
old 'Monek homestead residence, how
ever, dUOut d QudA ICI VI q lHAlC AAolAA
the straw pile the sheriff found on
the floor amongst the straw a pair OF
woman's hose with two strings. This
is a vacant house and had been used
last fall by threshers for sleeping
quarters. 1t is possible that this house
may have been temporarily visited by
Mrs RIPLEY in her wanderings that
day. The fact that no shoes nor evil
dences of shoes were discovered is
something that has not been explain
ed. The unburned foot is supposed to
have been protected by ice or frozen
straw at the time of the fire, which
preserved it, while the rest Of the
body was burned. The foot has ma
tural, life-like appearance, and only
slight marks Of burning on the toes.
What became of the woman's shoes
is mystery.

'Alt for Norge" is one of the most
popular phrases heard when several
Norwegians come together and dis
cuss the prospect of returning to the
old country to attend the celebration
of the Tooth anniversary of independ-
ence from Danish domination.
Hundred Have Gone.
During the past week, hundreds of
North Dakota s Norwegian popula-
tion have departed for Norway. Sev-
,eral thousand more will go within the
next 20 days. Some are going back
for the first time since leaving the
fatherland, and taking this time to
visit fathers, mothers, sisters, broth
ers and all collateral relatives that
had been left beyond the briny when
they came to this country.
Should Take Citizen Papers.
Everyone who goes to Norway
should take with him or her his or
her citizenship papers, on account of
the difficulties experienced when re-.
turning to America. These papers
wifi expedite, the work of the Gus
toms officials and the immigration
agents will then not be able to detain
persons subject to an examination.

THINK s1,3OO,0OO TOO
Low PRICE FOR CANAL
Senate Committee Told 50, 500, 900
Estimate of Army Engineers
Is Fair.

The Senate committee on coast and in
sular survey, of which Senator Sauls-
bury of Delaware is chairman, held a
second hearing today on the value and
ownership of the Chesapeake and Della
ware canal which the government pro-
poses to purchase and improve as link
in the inland waterway from Boston to
Mexico.
Gen. Felix Agnus and Col. Flagler,
members of the Agnus commission which
made an investigation of the canal in
1907: Gen. Bixby, L. s. A, retired. for
mer chief of engineers. and Fred A.
Grooves, Philadelphia. manager of the
Philadelphia and Baltimore steamship
line. the Ericsson line, one of the prin-
cipal users of the canal, appeared be-
fore the committee.
Gen. Agnus, Col FlaSler and Gen.
Bixby told the committee that they
thought $2,500,000 the price proposed
by the army engineers for the canal,
was not too great. The House has
placed in the rivers and harbors bill
only $i,300.000 for the purchase of the
canal
Gen. Agnus told the committee that
this figure had been adopted on the
last sale of bonds of the canal COM
pany at S4S. Since that sale, however,
the value of the bonds has increased to
SIS, and promises to go much higher
because of the increase in the business
of the canal.

MANN THINKS ENGLAND
IS LOOKING TO future
Tells House Embarrassment for
United States Would Surely
Follow Repeal.

Republican Leader Mann today told
the House three questions were in
volved in a repeal of the Panama tolls
eXemption-treaty rights, moral rights
apart from treaty construction and the
economic policy involved The eco
nomic question might be change at any
time. he said. but q decision on treaty
rights must be lasting one. He main
tained that no construction of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty compelled the United
States to charge the same tolls on it's
own ships or those of Panama as were
levied on those of other nations.
"A reading of the rules to be observed
by nations to receive equal treatment -
he said, plainly discloses that they are
not applicable to the United States or
Panama.
"Englands attempt to secure her con-
not for its present effect. 1t is for the
long-distant future. If we construe the
treaty according to the English claims
it is sure to rise and embarrass us when
ever we have war with other countries.
War is not desirable, but it is inevitable.
We cannot always maintain peace.
Holds Embarrassment Inevitable.
'If we agree now to the English con-
struction, it is certain that in the fu-
ture when we have a war with Japan or
China or some other country, questions
will arise in reference to their use and
our use of the canal, especially as to
war vessels, and in that time Of stress We
will be met with the contention by Eng
land, the present ally of Japan, or by
some other country, that we have al
ready construed that treaty in such a
way that we cannot protect the canal
without bringing a protest from England
or other countries. which will embarrass
IL not defeat US in the war.
"I want to treat England fairly, but
believe that under the construction of
the treaty we have the right to do as we
please in this matter and that it is an
unfriendly act of England now at this
late date to insist upon any other con-
struction"
