BOARD
And N. G, Il. HEAD
CROSS BAY|DNETS

After conference with Adjutant-
general ]. w. Jones of the National
Guard this afternoon the board OF
harbor commissioners absolyed Har-
bormaster Foster from all blame in
the incident of the. steamer Kiyo
Maru. which was hit by number Of
bullets from the Kakaako rifle range
as she lay just outside the bay.
A lively tilt occurred between Col.
Jones and Commissioner T. M.
Church during the conference, when
In response TO the formers declara-
ton that he was present to work in
coordination with the commission,
Church asked:
DO you consider the publishing Of
an Interview such as that appearing
in the newspapers, criticizing Capt.
Foster, as coordination? ~
Col. Jones replied to the effect that
he certainly was not present to be
criticized was there to tell such
facts as he knew. Capt. Foster
had appealed to the commission
for vindication. Col Jones' published
statement, said Church, indicated that
he was holding Foster responsible for
the anchorage of the Kiyo Maru.
Col. Jones later admitted that the
captain of the firing squad had said
the Kiyo was ordinarily outside the
rifle range, and 1t was his opinion that
the bullets which struck the Japanese
ship must have been ricochet shots, ]
which had struck the water and then
been DETECTED upward again.
Church and James Wakefield were
appointed a committee to prepare al
resolution clearing Capt Foster Of re-
sponsibility for the ships anchorage.
Meantime negotiations are to be un-
dertaken with a view to providing
more safety for boats outside the har-
Dor from the firing on the National
Guard range.

CHAIRMAN C00MBS MAKES
DETAIL SWORN STATEMENT
Says Facts Show That Political
Fights Can Be Waged With
out a Barrel of Money

A sworn statement of disbursements
by Walter Coombs, chairman of the
Republican county committee, today
brings out the fact that the Republi.
can victory in the campaign ending
November was won with the small
est campaign fund in the history or
Republican politics in this territory.
So far as Is known no political par
ty here has ever before made public a
detailed statement of expenses, and
Coombs strengthens his statement by
swearing to 1t before a notary public.
The law requires candidates to file
statement of their election disburse-
ments, but the organization committee
Is not required to.
Coombs has ma,ie one because he
believes in publicity for campaign
funds and, furthermore, because he be-
lieves that the recent Republican cam
paign proved the possibility OF success
without the use OF funds for a horde
of runners and other workers
His statement is as follows: :.

DAKOTA FARMERS HEAR
BADGER DAIRY EXPERT

Valley City, N. D.. July .10.-The
ever increasing need for extending
dairy, farming n it's benefits
throughout the wheat lands OF the
northwest, as a means to permanent
agriculture with larger revenues FOR
the individual farmer was the subject
OF an address by Carl E. Lee, specialist
at the Wisconsin Dairy school, Madl-
son, before the ~Chautauqua audience
at Valley City.
THE rich soil of the wheat region
has peer steadily travelling eastward
to enrich the farms Of dairyland and
increase their value from $50 to 500
an acre" declared Mr.. Lee. THE
farmers Of the northwest have been
disposing of large amounts of soil
fertility in the shape Of wheat bran
at $40 to $50 a ton, which when fed
to dairy cattle returned fully one
third of it's original value to the lana
in the form Of manure
Owing to the fast diminishing wheat
fields in the west and because Of the
fact that two special excursions or
North Dakota farmers have recently
visited Wisconsin to study dairy farm
practice, his is a subject Of immed1-
ate interest in this region. The Opln-
ions and experiences Of such special
lists as Mr.. Lee, who is head of the
Wisconsin butter n cheese scoring
work. are carefully considered. Mr..
Lee, who is a native Of North Dakota,
predicted that the ordinary farm lands
of this state would never pass the 800
an acre mark until more dairy cattle

ON CASSELNAN

Bismarck, N. D., July 10.-Lieuten-
ant Governor Kraabel, who was called
to investigate charges, which had been
filed with the governor against Police
Magistrate Casselman and asking that
he be removed from office, arrived
this morning n went immedi-
ately to the capitol. He took up the
matter with the attorney generals of
flee.
Assistant Attorney General Carmo-
dy held that the position of police
magistrate is not covered by the stat
ute under which the governor was re-
quested to act. Assistant Attorney
General Zuger concurred in the deci-
sion of Mr.. Carmody, n the case
was naturally dropped by Mr.. Kraabel,
who returned to his home in Clifford.
Sec. Carl Kositzky of the tax COM
mission, who is prime mover in the
case, was asked what procedure was
next expected. He stated that he was
unable to say but that something GER
tainIy would be done.
The case has caused no end of COM
ment in the capital city and is the
