Woman Deserved Sharp Retort

A white Pomeranian escaped from
the arms of it's mistress in Surf ave-
nue., Coney island, the other night and
ran in front Of an automobile. A
newsboy darted after the dog, caught
it, and then fell in a mud puddle. He
lost dozen or so of papers but held
on to the dog, which he returned to its
owner slightly sofled.
"You impudent little scamp" said
the woman. what made you get the
dear little dog so dirty. You ought to
be whipped"

onlookers applauded him.

WRECKED

Perth. N. D.. Oct. 6.--The south
bound Great Northern train narrowly
escaped a serious wreck yesterday
afternoon when the engine struck a
team driven by William Schlonaker. a
farmer near here Some box cars on
a siding adjoining the crossing pre-
vented Schlonaker from seeing the
approaching train until his horses
were on the track directly IN front of
the engine. One horse was thrown
nderneath the train and dragged
!. out two car lengths, badly crushed
; ! killed. The, front wheels were
= from the wagon by the pilot. The
$3a n box and the rear wheels were
M 9maged and the other horse es-
ca1c,. serious hurts. ..,.@
So maker was thrown, into the air
as ~ as the top of the passenger
coach, and fell alongside the track. He
received serious internal injuries but
will recover. .ss.
The passengers on the, train believed
themselves especially fortunate tc
have escaped a serious wreck as ordi-
narily the front of the wagon and the
one horse that was run over would
have been sufficient to have derailed
the coaches.

Won BERNSTORFF
VISITS BRYAN

Washington, Oct. 6.--The call Of
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador at the state department yes
terday, where he conferred for half
an hour with Secretary Bryan, has
aroused much speculation in diplomatic
circles here as to the possibility that
further efforts had been set in motion
by the administration, indirectly at
least, to bring about peace in Europe.
Neither the secretary nor the ambas-
sador would discuss the purpose of the
visit though 1t is known that the dip
lomat made special trip from New
York in response to telegraphic request
sent by Mr.. Bryan. He left the secre-
tary's room burdened with copies of
peace commission treaties negotiated
by Mr.. Bryan with various countries
and is understood to have been asked
to forward these to Berlin promptly
The treaties are typical Of all the
peace conventions upon which Mr.
Bryan has been at work, although they
differ somewhat in detail. -
1t was regarded here as significant
that Secretary Bryan should under
take negotiations looking to the inclu-
sion of Germany among the nations
with whom the United States has made
peace conventions at this time, when
that country is engaged in war. Such
la treaty would commit the German
government to recognition Of the
|propriety and reasonableness of deal
ing with international issues by peace
full means, 1T was pointed out, and the
suggestion was not lacking that an
underlying motive for the administra-
tion's effort might be the desire to
smooth the way at this moment for the
conference that must, in the end, ter
inmate the war in Europe.
Negotiations of a similar nature al
ready have been opened with Japan,
1t was argued here that should both
Japan and Ger many sign peace treaties
with the United States, Joining the
great array of powers already bound
by such agreements, the way would
be opened for the next step, an invi-
tation to these powers to regard peace
treaties originally negotiated between
each of them and the United States, as
binding upon them generally with re-
spect to each other.

ship HAS NO
name OR COUNTRY

San Francisco, Oct. GA ship with
out a name. country nor clearance
papers. but with a full cargo swung
idly to anchor in San francisco bay
today, while her master and crew
freted to learn what nag they were
under and when they could get away.
The vessel is-or was--the Alex
andria, formerly OF the Kosnos line.
Recently she was reported sold to the
Northern and Southern Navigation
Co, a newly organized corporation
which applied to washington for per-
mission to register their purchases as
the Sacramento. under the American
flag.
That was ten days ago and failing
to get permission. perhaps because of
a strong protest from the British con-
sui that the transfer was not in good
faith. a second application was lodged
with the collector of the port for leave
to clear for Valparaiso, under the Ger
man flag and the old name.
The collector replied that he must
be satisfied first that the crew was
not made up Of German reservists. 1t
had been brought to his notice that
the cargo consisted Of provisions and
coal and that the German cruiser
Leipsig was last reported in Chilean
waters, in which she had sunk the
British merchantmen Bankheids.
In the meantime Rear Admiral
Pond, for the preservation OF
neutrality has placed on board an off,
Ger from the United States cruiser
New Orleans.

DAILY REPORT
ON FINANCE

New york, Oct. 6.-Operations by
the $100, 100000 gold pool exercised
considerable influence on the foreign
exchange market yesterday. Gables
opened as low as 4.95&, with demand
bills cent under that quotation, but
the unusually large inquiry soon caus-
ed a fractional advance.
Further subscriptions to the fund
from interior banks were reported and
it is believed the! pool will soon have
in hand not less than 25 per cent of
the entire amoand pledged. A consid-
erable part of the exchange sold was
for cotton bills, recent heavy ship
ments of that staple being reflected
in these documents.
The several committees which are
supervising private sales securities
were more active as a result of a
broader demand for high class bonds
and stocks. Individual investors sup
piled the bulk of the business, but in
terror corporations also were in the
market. @
Contrary to recent advices from
London, where weak market for the
stock was reported, sales of Canadian
Pacific were effected here at 155,
which is equal to the July 80 closing
price less the quarterly dividend of
l2h per cent since declared. Dealings
in other stocks of the same class with
out concessions were reported.
Unfavorable reports dealing with
conditions in the steel trade were
again current and these, together with
the state of the copper industry, fur
nished the only disquieting news of
the day. 1t was said that numerous
orders for finished steel had been cans
celed and that new specifications were
lower than before. s#.
One of the minor companies operat-
ing in the Michigan iron ore center
announced 10 per cent cut in wages
and while no definite steps of like
character have been taken by the
larger manufacturers, it is predicted
that the prevailing depression must
soon result in liquidation of labor
Except for renewals, the money
market was fiat. At best quotations
for time loans were only nominal at
to 8 per cent, while so-called three
| day loans were made in small amounts
at to per cent. Last weeks bank
statement, with its material reduction
| in the deficit, created a more cheerful
sentiment for mercantile paper, but
! effected no change in quotations.
i That crops are being rushed to mar
ket is evidenced in the enormous grain
receipts at Chicago, which are far in
excess of last week an over 5,000,00(
bushels greater than in the same week
of last year.

The citizens lecture course for the
season Of 1914-15 promises to equal
if not surpass the brilliant efforts OF
those OF the past. Fargoans have been
treated to some OF the fienst lectures,
musical entertainments and other
high grade entertainment and educa-
tional features in previous years but
the array of talent for this season VIII
not tske second place for any course
that has gone before.
The policy Of the committee In
charge has always been to secure the
best available talent and give it to &ie
people at cost price. The increased at
tendance at the course each year is
evidence of it's growing popularity.
Everybody was more than satisfied
with the attractions last year. This
year the Iist-Schildkret' Hungarian
orchestra, the Kellogg Haines Singing
Party, Strickland w. Gillian, dorado

Young Gives Opinion
Regarding Tax Levy

C. Il. Young, assistant attorney gem
eral has rendered an opinion on the
question of priority that has Bgen
brought up by the educational institu-
tions Of the state, in the matter of the
recent tax levy.
The heads of the various institutions
contend that the educational levy takes
priority to other levies made in 1911.
The sum involved Is about 100000.
There is difference of opinion be-
tween the heads of the state education
al institutions and the state board OF
equalization and the only way to settle
the matter is to test 1T out in the
courts. TO this end suit has been In
stituted and 1t is believed that this
action is on today at Bismarck
This action, which has been brought
by the heads of the various educaticH-
I'll institutions is based largely on the
opinion of G. Il. Young. which is given
in full as follows:

re1oined with even more vigorous
criticism. Senator Walsh declared

Senator Reed insisted that the law

price discrimination, limits interlock-
ing directorates. and prohibits holding
companies where the effect is to Ade-
