SPECIAL. TAX
QUESTION IS
UP TO COURT
STATE EDUCATIONAL INSTI-
TUTIONS BRING AC-
TON.
over 100000 INVOLVED

Whether or not the educational in
stitutions of the state will lose ap-
proximately 100000 which they have
been receiving from special assess
ments for several years past will be
determined in the case now pending
in the supreme court, and which will
tbe called on Monday afternoon, at 2
o'clock. .-.
MandaT,us Action.
Mandamus proceedings have been
brought to compel the state board Of
equalization to relevy, readjust, and
correct the levy which they made at
their last session. The aforemention-
ed levy reduced the special assess
ment which could he used for the ed
ucational institutions from 1.125 mills
to .76 mills, and if allowed to go
through, will cause a loss of approx
mately $10O,OOOlto the several educa-
tional institutions of the state which
have been sharing in this special levy.
The constitution sets the total levy
for all purposes at not to exceed four
mills. In preceding years the special
levy for various purposes has been
LAT mills. This is divided between
the state institutions, getting 1925
mills, and various other levies, cover
ing wolf bounty, bovine tuberculosis,
glandered horses, the county agricul-
tural and training schools, and termi-
nal elevators. The levy for the state
educational institutions was authoriz-
ed in 1901, the others in 1911 and
1913. ..-.
Action Of Board.
At the recent meeting of the board,
they levied three mills for general
purposes. This covers not only the
general expenses for the current year,
and the appropriations already made,
but also the appropriations which
may be made at the 1915 session Of.
the legislature. OF the total three
mills, 6 mill is set aside for coming
appropriations. 1t is on this latter
point that the case will hinge. princi-
pally.
With the three mills apportioned, as
stated, only enc mill was left for spe-
clal appropriations if the board wish
ed to remain within the constitutional
limit, which they did. This one mill
remaining was accordingly prorated
among the various special assess
ments which had previously been get.
ting 1.47 mills, giving the state edu.
catianal institutions only rs mills, as
against their previous 1925 mills.
me main point of discussion is
or not the state board pro-
ceeded properly in providing for f,,-
ture appropriations, to be made bv

clal levies were not paid in full

THREE OFFICIALS WAIVE
PRELIMINARY HEAR
ING.
$500 BONDS ARRANGED
Chief Fortune Telephones From
Justices Court for Sheriff
to Come and Get Him.

Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, in
Justice ]. o. Varney's court, Chlel
Of Police George Fortune, City Magls.
trate W. s.. Casselman and SpeclaA
officer Charles Mason waived exam
ination and were bound over TO the
next term of the district court, to pe

George Harrie, the Assyrian peddler,
who alleges that these three officials
arrested him for peddling without a
license. held a fake trial, fined him
and took quantity of his stock, and
then drove him out of the city. The
court fixed the bond for each defend
ant at $1,000, and this bond was fur
nished.
The hearing was held at Justice
Varney's home on Second street, anu
two rooms were crowded with spec
tators when the case was called.
States Attorney H. R. Berndt, Assist
ant States Attorney Theodore Koffel
and VIM. LANCER, Harrie's attorney,
appeared for the state. John Sulli-
van of Mandan, T. R. Mockler of this
city, and Oscar Illness of this city
appeared for the defendants.
AS soon as the case was called,
T. r. Mockler waived the preliminary
examination, stating that on account
of the importance of the case de-
cision in the Justices court would not
be satisfactory to the defendants,
whether they were bound over to the
district court or released. The repu-
tations of the defendants were at
stake, he said, and they wanted
chance to vindicate themselves fairly
in open court.
1--WE want to try this case just as
soon as possible" he said.
AS soon as the court had bound
the defendants over and had fixed
their bonds, ordering them to be kept
under the custody of the sheriff until
the bonds had been returned and APP
proved, an amusing incident took
place. The spectators were afforded
the rare opportunity of seeing and
hearing the chief of police of a city
phone the sheriff of the county, to
come and take him into custody.
After Justice Varney had ordered
the defendants taken into custody by
the sheriff, that official could not be
located. Upon request, Chief Fortune
stepped to the telephone and called
the sheriff's office.
Hello, is this you, Barnes?' said
Chief Fortune. "Well, l want you to
come down here and take charge Of
Fortune, Casselman and Mason.
You're supposed to have them in GUS,
tody until their bonds are fixed up.
Yes, this is Fortune talking"
Even the court smiled.
The bonds Of $1,000, reduced from
$1,000, were secured early in the af-
ternoon. H. w. Richholt and "A, P.
Lenhart went on Casselman's bond.
r. A. Hughes and Henry Tatley were
secured by Mason, and Tom Meow
an and Patrick Quinlan went on Chief
Fortunes bond.
Attorneys for the defendants stated
yesterday afternoon that the defense
would be ready to try the case as
soon as it could he brought up.

1t is understood that negotiations
for the transfer of authority at Vera

to Carranza's refusal to comply with

duct from the country for Mexican
refugees is one of the many prob

(By Associated Press.)

Today clocks all over the United
States are ticking OF the seconds al
most in perfect unison. Some thirty
nations have followed the lead taken
by the United States by computing
standard time by meridians one hour
apart. In this country score of time
balls are dropped precisely at noon in
the principal Atlantic. Pacific. Gulf
and Lake ports by electric signal
from the United States Naval Observa-
tory at Washington, where three
standard clocks are regularly set by
star sights and meridian transit instru-
ments. The difference in official
clocks over 5000 miles apart is seldom
more than two-tenths of second. AS
tronomers the world over are striving
to be still more precise as to time
signals and hope soon to be able to
flash instantaneous signals around the
world by wireless.

Just 80 years ago today the United
States Congress first officially recog-
mixed the present system of Standard
Time by adopting 1t for the District
off Columbia. The first to propose
that time should be governed BY meri-
dams one hour apart is said to have
been Charles F. Dowd. principal Of
. young women's school at Saratoga,
N. Y, who sketched numerous schemes
prior to 1882. The plan taken up by
the railroads the following year, how.
ever. was drawn by William F. Allen,
secretary Of the General Time Con.
vention. Previously there had been
so many different standards of time
in the United States that travellers
watch had to be reset some fifty times
in trip across the continent If he
desired to be correct. For years il
had been said the problem was past
solution.
