addressed the company in the follow
Ing words: Gentlemen, | must inform
you that when get little too much
drink I have an absurd custom OF rail
ing against the Scotch; hope no gen.

With this he sat down.
A Scotch gentleman Immediately
rose, and, without seeming the least
displeased, said: Gentlemen, /, when
have drunk rather freely. and hear
any person railing against the Scotch,
have an absurd custom Of kicking him
out OF the company; hope no gentle

that on that occasion the Scotchman

Report of Visiting Committee at the
Ward County Poor Farm.
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners, Ward County,
North Dakota.
Gentlemen:
The undersigned members of the
board appointed by you to visit and
report upon the County Poor Farm,
,eg to report as follows:
On Tuesday, Aug. 18th, we visited
the poor farm, and found matters in
good shape. There are % people be.
ng cared for at the poor farm, con-
listing of 10 men, women and 9
children, all except the children are
:ripples, invalids and aged people.
We found great many much need
ed improvements made. The electric
lights which have been recently in
stalled are giving excellent satisfac-
ton; this light has been extended to
all the outbuildings, which makes it
very convenient and reduces the risk
from fire, materially.
We also found the porch on the
south side of the house completed,
which was also much needed.
We found good crops, stock of all
kinds looking well and we'll cared for.
The county poor farm has two

good shape and does not need much
improvement. The COW barn has never
been completed. This barn should
have hay carrier and track, concrete
floor and stanchions for the cattle, and
we recommend the above improve
ments.
We found the inmates well cared for
and all satisfied with the treatment
they are receiving.

FACE ANOTHER TRIAL.
Reassignment of Case Against Naval
Stores Defendants in Georgia.

SAVANNAH, Ga. January 1O.-Alex-
ander Akerman, United States district
attorney for the southern district of
Georgia, has been directed by the Depart
ment of Justice in Washington to have
reassigned for trial the cases against
the members of the alleged naval stores
trust. The defendants are the former
officers of the American Naval Stores
Company that recently went into liquida-
ton. This determination on the part of
the Department Of Justice has caused
much surprise in Savannah, as it was
believed that the decision Of the United
States Supreme Court in reversing the de-
cision of the United States district court,
where the defendants were convicted,
would bring the case to a conclusion.
1t is not proposed to try the corpora
ton again, the trial jury having brought
in verdict of not guilty against 1t.
Neither will c. ]. Deloach, the secre-
tary, be tried. Those who. are to be
called upon again as defendants include
S. p. Shotter, chairman of the board Of
directors: E. S. Nash. president: J. F.
c. Meyers. vice president, and Messrs.
Moeller and Boardman. the latter being
employees and offlceholders. Messrs. Shot
ter and Meyers received Jail sentences
as well as fines. The other defendants
convicted were merely fined.

COLOMBIA IS NOT AFTER
MERE MONEY INDEMNITY
Negotiations Being Carried on at
Bogota and Not at
Washington.

That Colombia places other considera-
tons above monetary indemnity in the
settlement of the long-standing contro-
versy with the United States over the
separation of Panama from the South
American country. was asserted last
night by Julio Betancourt, the Colombian
minister in Washington.
In the treaty of settlement that is be-
ing negotiated but which has not finally
been agreed to. Minister Betancourt de-
clared financial recompense for the loss
of Panama was held by his government
secondary to stipulations which deal with
the recognition of the Colombian law fix
ing the boundary between that country
and Panama and the right of Colombia
to have the same rights to use the
Panama canal as the United States. Until
the details of these two questions are
agreed to, it was stated, the amount
amount of money to be paid to Colombia
by this government would not be deter
mined, although $20O00,OOO has been re-
ported as the approximate amount. An
other report has fixed the indemnity at
$25, 100000
Colombia Wants It Known.
AS for the supposed s25.00O,000 as
said Minister Betancourt, the legation
wants it known that in the settlement
of SO serious a matter Colombia con-
siders the amount of money of secondary
value. The satisfaction involves higher
considerations, more valuable than mere
dollars. The negotiations are being
carried on in a very friendly way at
Bogota. and not at Washington. but
pending the absence from Colombia of
American Minister Thomson it is too
early to talk of final settlement
Colombia feels. 1t is said, that the
granting to her of the right to use the
canal on the same terms as the United
States. just as if the canal were still
in Colombian territory, is practical
recognition to the nations of the world
that this country thus repays an in
herent right which the South American
country has in the canal, as would have
been the case if Panama had never re-
VOTED.
Mr.. Thomson, who returned to this
country because of his wifes i'll health
expects to sail for Colombia early next
month to resume the negotiations for
the treaty. which was nearing fina, set

DR.. Sargent said. in part:
The old biblical ideal of perpetuating
the families of the patriarchs by many
begettings must be justified in the light
of heredity.
1.-The present tendency of the superior
races and individuals to diminish in num-
Der is contrary to the accepted theory of
the survival of the fttest. When applied
to man these physical principles of the
survival of the fittest through the strug-
gle for existence have been forced into
the background because of mans mental,
social and sympathetic development.
1T is the province of the physical edu-
Gator not only to invigorate the indi-
vidual for himself, but through him to
improve the race. Individual improve
ment in the physical condition of men
and women results in a better race of
children, so that we may consider physi-
cal education an agent in our modern
sciences of euthenics and eugenics.'

DEMOCRATS ARE DIVIDED
ON ANTITRUST BILLS
Some Members of Congress Want
Quick Action, Others Thor
ough Consideration.

All democrats in Congress are not
agreed as to how the work of framing
antitrust legislation to supplement the
Sherman law shall proceed and there are
prospects of notable discussion of the
subject in both houses of Congress.
There were informal conferences yester-
day between individual members of the
House committee on the judiciary and
some Of the democratic senators. who
indicated that they were averse to has
tening the antitrust legislative program
These senators told the House mem
bers that they believed SO great a ques-
ton should be handled slowly and that
while the party platform pledges regard
ing interlocking directorates and other
matters should be carried out. the legis-
lation should be framed with the utmost
care to avoid injustice and injurious re-
suits.
House Members Want Haste.
Some of the rank and file of the House
membership, who are drifting back into
Washington, contend, however. that there
is a great demand for immediate anti
trust legislation and that bills should be
enacted into law as quickly as possible.
Representative Vi iS->A'' SAAeAAA
man of the rules committee, who has
been active in conferences on trust mat
tiers, expressed satisfaction with the pro-
gram OF the judiciary committee ma
jority.
Representative Webb of North Caro-
lima, q member of the Judiciary en-
mittee, will introduce separate bill
designed generally to strengthen the
Sherman law along number OF lines.
Carlin Has Three Bills.
Representative Carlin of Virginia,
chairman of the judiciary subcommit-
tee on trusts, has possession of three
tentative bills on interlocking direc-
torates, trade relations, prices, injunc-
tons, damages and allied matters.
These measures may be changed ma
terially after they have been submitted
to the full democratic membership of
the judiciary committee and to the
President.
The committee will meet Tuesday, and
the tentative bills, with the possible
exception of Representative McCoys
draft of an inhibition on interlocking
directorates in banks and trust COM
panies, will not be introduced Monday,
but will be taken up in conference
with President Wilson after he re-
turns from the south Whether there
will be a separate bill defining monopo-
lies and trusts SO as to meet the
existence of so-called debatable ground
in the enforcement of the Sherman law
rests with the President.
