Two COUNTIES AROUSED
Infatuation Between Pair
Lead to Murder of
Woman

Galesburg. ILL.,, Jan. 20.-The prose-
cution of 15-year- Julia Flake for
participation in a. conspiracy which, it
is charged. resulted in the murder of
Miss Flakes mother by Robert Hig-
gins, Miss Flakes stepfather, will not
be pushed too harshly because of the
girls youth, States Atty. John M.
Wilson of Mercer county announced.
CAS- for Higgins-well, that's differ
ent," Wilson added. The alleged con-
spiracy, terminating in the murder Of
Mrs. Higgins Jan. 5, the, arrest Of
Higgins and his young stepdaughter
and their confessions disclosing the
infatuation between the two, have
aroused the people of two counties
where Higgins and his family are we'll
known and prominent locally.
The attitude of the girl toward her
mother, as shown in letters which she
wrote, is beyond the comprehension Of
liar case. c. w. Ernst of Galesburg
brother of Mrs. Higgins, who was
on bad terms with her, was offered
pay to kill Mrs. Higgins.
This was in a letter written by the
girl last November, from North Hen
sderson, the home Of the Higginses.
In October Julia Flake wrote to
Ernst's daughter Marie, saying: II
wonder if your father is still Of the
same notion of killing my mother. If
he is, I wish he would hurry and do it
as I am getting awful tired" At that
time Ernst thought the girl was
crazy, he said. He told her to behave
herself.

TWIN CITY
RIVALRY
INTENSE

Chicago. ILL.,. Jan. 20. - The rival
claims of Minneapolis and st. Paul to
be the location of the regional reserve
bank expected to be established in
the twin cities were urgently present
ed to Secretaries McAdoo and Houston
at the federal reserve bank hearing.
The arguments Of the Minneapolis
bankers were based chiefly on the
dominance of that city in the grain
industry of the northwest and larger
bankin~ figures. st. Paul men point
ed to the location there Of federal off,
GERS and of it's position as fostering
the livestock and diversified farming
interests of it's territory.
+. A. Chamberlain, speaking for
Minneapolis, gave Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, Montana and Wash
ington as the logical northwest reg
ional territory. John r. Mitchell Of
st. Paul left off Washington but in
cluded northern Wisconsin.
The attitude Of the secretaries was
stated by McAdoo to Chamberlain:
You are making, an argument as
to the relative merits of ST. Paul and
Minneapolis. We want to know where
bank may be located to best serve
this district and not where it would
be OF best local service"

FRENCH
PROTEST
7'OHUERTA

Paris, Jan. 2O.-The French foreign
office instructed the French minister
to Mexico to protest to Huerta against
the suspension of payment Of interest
on the Mexican public debt. The loans
of 1910 and 1918 are both mentioned
in the protest. The document of pro-
test is said to be framed In such a
way as to imply tacit support of the
Mexican policy Of the United States.
Refugees at Ell Paso.
Ell Paso, Jan. 20.-Three thousand,
three hundred federal soldiers, six
Mexican generals, 1860 women and
children who sought an asylum in the
United States after they were driven
out Of Ojinaga, Mex, by Gen. Francis
co.-Villas' rebel forces, arrived at Ell
2aso today. They were formally plac-
ed in the Fort Bliss military reserva-
ton where they are to be held by the
government indefinitely on the footing
Of prisoners of war. Arriving on ten
trains from Maria, Tex, the refugees
were taken at once to Fort Bliss,
where they were put in a camp en-
cloesd by barbed wire fence and guard
ed by United States troops.

DECISION
ON ALIEN
LABOR LAW
American Farmer UnknoW-
ingly Violated Alien
Labor Law
May Be FINED HEAVILY
Judge Amidon Decides
Against Commissioner
of Labor
MAY Be FINED HEAVILY

Judge Amidon has had under coma
sideration for some time the case Of
five Austrian laborers who have been
held in jail at Grand Forks since Oct.
/ last. They came from Austria to
Canada, and had been residing in that
country for about a year. During the
harvest Of last fall they were working
on the Canadian side. near Gretna.
Having finished their job. they were
about to return to Winnipeg, where
they had been living. An American
farmer living three miles on this side
Of the line, was looking for help to do
his threshing. and went, to the village
of Gretna where he fell in with the
Austrians. He employed them at SO
per day, and took them to his farm
late at night. His farm is three miles
on this side Of the liIe. They worked
for him about month, when they
were arrested by an inspector Of i'm
migration for having entered the
country IN violation of the alien labor
law. This was the first time they
knew they were in the United States.
They had no intention Of coming to
this country, and would not have ac-
cepted the employment if they had
known that the farmer, Mr.. Longtin,
lived on this side. They were also
ignorant of the alien labor law. So
was Mr.. Longtin. He was wholly un-
4
visions when he took the men to his
farm. Longtin was indicted for bring
ing the laborers into the United States.
His case came on at Devils Lake in
December. He made frank state
rnent Of the facts. 1t appeared that
he was a man of substance and. high
character, who had never been arrest
ed before, or charged with any Grim
inal act. He owns half section Of
land on which he had lived with his
wife and children for many years, and
was highly respected in the communi-
ty Upon this statement of facts and
his plea of guilty. Judge Amidon inn
posed a fine Of SIS as a sufficient vim
dicatfon of the law. The labor depart
ment seems to have considered this
fine ais too small, for they caused a
civil suit to be brought at once
against Longtin, to recover a fine OF
S. 900. and costs, under another pro-
Confined ar, pacs TaY7.

The North Dakota Progressive re-
publicans will meet in Fargo Thurs
day. 1t is the initial gun Of the 1914
political campaign and is expected to
start something. Some of the mem
bers of the wing Of the republican
party would have preferred a meeting
at a later date but others concluded
this was the psychological moment
to hold 1t because of the large attend
ance Of farmers, stockmen and others
at the Tri-State convention.
The object of the meeting according
to some of the leaders is simply to
close up the business of the last
campaign, and prepare for the new.
There are some bills remaining un-
paid and other matters to settle UP

CASE GREW OUT
OF FATUATION

London, Jan. 20.-Great interest has
been aroused by suit to recover $20,-
600, brought by DR.. Ernest Villers APP
pleby, formerly lecturer of the Uni
versity Of NAnnesota, against Baroness
Mae D'Pallandt, an American woman,
whose relatives live in Chicago, and
who twelve years ago was the wife of
Baron D'Pallandt. The case is in the
kings bench division Of the high court.
The dispute is the sequel to chance
meeting Of the plaintiff and defendant
in 1903, aboard a train between Chi
cago and New York. This led to the
infatuation Of the plaintiff and subse-
quent close relations.
DR.. Appleby in his pleadings declar-
ed the baroness had agreed to repay
him for notes given a Partisan jeweler
for a string of pearls. The baroness
denies this statement.

that the meat producing industry of
the United States has been perma-

He said that in the distant future
perhaps there might be a re-alignment
