ming at 2:3O p. m.

dent of Mountrail county and County
Supt. E. G. Warren will be present and
discuss the various aspects of school
consolidation.
With such capable speakers to ad-
dress US we cannot but profit from
this meeting.
At the conclusion of the addresses
the meeting will be thrown open for
the discussion of any points that were
not made clear.
Let everybody come and listen to
addresses by those who are in posi-
ton to know the facts.
1t will be a matter Of considerable
disappointment TO many of our peo-
pie to learn that Mrs. Jean McNaugh-
ton Stevens, the pioneer educator of
old Ward county, will be prevented by
illness from attending the school
meeting Sunday. We had hoped to
secure Mrs. McNaughton Stevens,
knowing her interest in this commune
ity, where she taught in the early days
when Burlington was the county seat,
but she wired us as above stated.
In behalf Of our people we extend
our sympathy and trust that before
the campaign for consolidated schools
closes she may be with US. @

FOR DRASTIC LEGISLATION.
Arguments Made for the Protection
of Alaskan Fur Seals.

More drastic legislation to enforce
the regulation of the fur seal fisheries
in Alaskan waters was urged before
the House ways and means committee
yesterday by Representative Bryan OF
Washington, author of a bill on the
subject; Solicitor Thurman of the De-
partment of Commerce, and others.
They pointed out that under the
present laws a man caught with fur
seals in the closed season cannot be
arrested without warrant, and IT
might be Impossible to get warrant

The committee favorably reported
the Bryan bill to correct this situation.

OF PRICE MANIPULATION

DR.. Mary Z. Pennington of the bureau

poultry and eggs, if properly handled,
could be kept in cold storage a suffi-

deterioration of their food value. She
showed comparisons of poultry mar
keted fresh and after being frozen

sion that with the same handling both
would be equally valuable for food.
DR.. Pennington. questioned by Repre-
sentative Cullop, declared that in her
of cold storage plants
she had found nothing to indicate that
cold storage facilities were used to
manipulate food prices. Her observa-
ton was that products. stored in sea-

before the next supply came in.

SHIPPING TIE.UP
 WORRIES COUNTRY Now Feared That All Brit ish Steamships Will Be Withdrawn from Service.
THOUSANDS ARE IDLE
Cancellation of SaiIings by Russian and German Companies Leads to Congestion of Freight at
 New York.

New York, Aug 1-The tie-up of transatlantic shipping is assuming serious proportions here. The Gu harder SaXony, failed to sail this morning after all cargo and passen- gers had been taken aboard. Three more German liners have been recall ed by wireless, and the Hamburg American line officials have cancel led all sailings in the West India ser vice.
 All British steamship concerns have announced they will book no passen- gers to European points. The with drawal of all British steamships be- tween this country and England is a step new feared by shipping men.
 The Russian American line added to the tenseness of the situation by ordering it's steamer CZar to remain here indefinitely.
 Cargccs are piling up on the docks here and congestion is hindering work on the piers. Every hour sees the arrival of more shipments from the West and tie storage problem is per picking the companies. Labor is suf- fering. tco Thousands are already idle. Longshoremen and their fami- lies by the thousands face long per iod of idleness. Orders for the dis charge of hundreds of more workers are looked for on Monday.

HELD FOR LABELLING
 THE GERMAN ARMY
Trial of Ross Luxemburg, the Red Amazon, to Be
 Long Drawn Out Affair.

Berlin, August 1.-The trial of Rosa Luxemburg the red Amazon, who is facing a charge of labelling the Ger man army, is likely to be a very lengthy affair. Her greatest offense is that she made speech in which she talked of the "groans of the acted day by day in German bar of rhetoric lies in the assertion that army. This is what stung the public prosecutor into motion. Rosa has accordingly been give nto understand that she will have to prove incessant acts of cruelty.
 In reply she has obliged with list of 922 witnesses, just about the strength of a battalion on war foot ing, all of whom will declare in court that they were subjected, occasional ly by officers, but mostly by non-com- mlssiOend officers to punches, slaps, and pushes, blows with riding whips and the flat of swords. jabs with scab- bards, and boxes on the ears, not to mention kicks and abuse, and further that these things were in many cases the daily fare of their particular bar racks.
 If the 922 do not suffice the defense is ready to oblige with more. To the horror of the presiding judge, Rosa, who, of course, will enjoy the trial hugely, and have more to say than her counsel, insists that all the wit nesses be examined.

MT. Warburg's Frank Replies During Severe Grilling Makes Friends for Him on Committee of
 Banking.

Washington, Aug. 1.-For three hours and a half Paul M. Warburg of New York nominated for the federal reserve board, was questioned today by members of the banking and cur rency committee to which his name was referred for consideration.
 The greater part of the session was occupied by the questions of Senators Bristow of Kansas, Republican, who had previously announced he was op- posed to Mr. Warburg. Senator Bristow subjected him to a severe grlling. When the committee adjourned about o'clock, it was with the understanding that MT. Warburs would return Monday morning for fur ther examination.
 Senator Owen, chairman of the committee, said that MT. Warburg had made a good impression by his frank answers.
 It became evident today that the successor to Thomas D. Jones on the federal reserve will not be appointed before Tuesday or Thursday.

CLARKE DEFENDSI
 COMMERCE. COURT
Says Trouble Was That Taft Filled It With Incompe-
 tent Men.

Washington, Aug. By reward ing his favorite former President Taft filled the bench of the detunct Commerce court with inferior jurists, asserted Senator Clarke of Arkansas this morning in a speech made on the floor in the senate.
 Senator Clarke was opposing the amendment opposed by Senator Pomerene of Ohio to the trades rela- tio1s butt, one of the administration s antitrust measures, which would provide for board review by the courts of the decisions of the federal trade commission to be created by the bill if it becomes law.
 The commerce court was right, the men on it were wron, was Senator Clarke's criticism. He predicted that the commerce court will be re-estab- lshed by congress. It's failure to gain national respect was due, he inferiority of the personnel of it's bench Senator Clarke admitted to entertaining respect for courts or judges equal to any man in the sen- ate, or more than some. He made this observation in objection to the powers given the federal trade com- mission by the pending bill, declar- ing it was an authority that should be vested only in judges. As they are not to be known as judges, he was of the opinion that power to review their decisions of the commerce should be vested in some authorita- tive body.
 Board powers of review vested il 1 the courts, however, in the opinion O Senator Clarke, would keep the pro posed legal regulations of trade re | lations in an experimental stage fol i long time. He preferred the less eX
 te.lsive authority of court review given in the amendment proposed b. Senator Cummins.
