WILLIAM SHORT BEGINS
Term IN SALTWATER

William Short, who has resided on
a farm between Bemidji and Wilton
for several years, and who was con-
victed at Fergus Falls in May, 1914,
on a charge Of. white slavery, sur
rendered himself to the United States
marshal at St. Paul yesterday and
was taken to Saltwater this morn,
ing where he will begin a prison term
of two years, according to United
Press information received this af-
ternOon.
Charles Scrutchin, the Bemtdji
lawyer who defended Short, stated
this afternoon that Short went to
St. Paul Monday night with the in
tention of presenting himself before
the marshal. It had been expected
that Short would be sent to the Fed.
eral prison at Leavenworth.
Following Shorts conviction, be-
ing charged with bringing girl
to Minnesota from Iowa for IMMORAL
purposes, he at once appealed for
a new trial, being given his freedom
on bail. The appeal was argued at
st. Louis early in the year by Mr..

portance discussed at the last meet

ing people to eradicate Canadian

AUTO IS CoNFISCATED
Government Will Sell to Highest Bid
der Machine Taken by Indian Off,
cers-Used for Introducing.
HORSE AND WAGON ALSO HELD

During the next few weeks a pub
lie auction of more than ordinary in
terest will be held at Fergus Falls,
officials of the United States govern
ment to be in charge. Among the
articles to be sold will be one safe,
taken from the soft drink place of
Ted Malloy of Bemidji; one gray
mare, six years old, wagon and har-
ness, taken from William Kirchhof, of
Cass Lake, and one Ford automobile,
taken from Oscar Hysing, of Akeley,
while he and several companions
were riding near Verndale. The safe
was taken from Maloy's soft drink
place by officers who maintain that
it contained liquor.
George Denley, deputy sheriff,
served replevin papers on H. A. Lar
son, chief special officer of the In
dian department, calling for the re-
turn Of the horse and wagon on the
ground that they are being unlaw-
fully detained AS yet the sheriff S
office has made no tempt to locate
the horse. The horse was taken by
Officers Larson, Brandt, Benson,
Thomasen and LeMarr Monday be-
tween Bemidji and Cass Lake when &
bale of hay contained in the rig was
examined and a barrel of whisky I'M
covered. A charge of introducing
liquor into Indian territory in viola
ton of the treaty of 1855 was imme-
diately brought.
At the time of the arrest the Off
GERS were riding in the Ford which
had been confiscated by Officers
Brandt and LeMarr near Verndale.
The car was taken when the Occu-
pants refused to submit to search I'M
til ordered to do so at the point of a
gun. The men in the car attempted
to shield themselves by breaking sew
eral bottles of liquor which they
were taking to Akeley, depending on
the heavy rain to aid them in their
purpose The officers heard the bot
ties break and after taking charge Of
the machine ordered the occupants
to walk to town, the nearest livery
being ten miles away, at Sebeka.
The car is now being used to run
down others who are tipping the lid
of the treaty provisions.

THREATEN TO CLOSE HOTELS
IF BARS ARE BANNED

Regina, Sask., July 7.-This prov
ince of Canada, admittedly one of the
most prosperous provinces in the ma
ton, may be without a hotel, is a
possibility that looms up today. This
is the result of an order issued by
an association of all hotel keepers.
There are 4O5 licensed hotels in the
province. All recently went dry.
Hotel men claim that they cannot op-
crate their hotels without bar,
without losing money. Their claim
is that rs per cent of the hotels run
without a bar lose money. More
over, rs per cent Of the hotels with
a bar have depended upon the bar
to make up the deficit in the hotel
business.
Following a government order the
hotel men met and decided that the
increased price Of foodstuffs would
be assigned as the cause for leaving
the province hOtel-less for a while.

According to H. B. Brookins, local
commercial manager Of the company
the hospitals are provided phones at
reduced rate, as are county officials
The city is given phones without
charge, as provided for in the char
ter. No other phone service is given
free of charge. Formerly ministers

practice has been discontinued.

FRANK HOLT ENDS
LIFE BY SUICIDE

MYSTERY MAY NEVER RESOLVED

probable that the mysteries sur
rounding Frank Holt, who shot J.
| P. Morgan at his home here last
| Saturday, after placing bomb in
the national capitol, which wrecked
the senate public reception room Fri
day night, may never be solved as
he committed suicide here last night
by jumping from the Jail window to
the concrete floor of the courtyard,
about SO feet below.
Holt was under the guard of Jere-
miah Ryan, Jail attendant. The
prisoner was apparently sleeping
soundly, when Ryan heard a noise
on the other side of a cell tier, left
his place in front Of Hollis open door
and started to investigate Ryan
heard a noise, which he said reseT-
bled an explosion, and hastily re-
turned to Hollis cell, only to find it
empty.
Holt had slipped through the open
cell door, climbed to the top of the
cell tiers to an open window through
which he plunged to the narrow
courtyard below.
Hopes War Will End.
DR.. Cleghorn, the Jail physician,
and District Attorney Smith. were
summoned. DR.. Cleghorn examined
the body and found the skull crushed.
Death was instan taneous. Mr.. Smith
searched Hoit's cell Immediately after
arriving at the Jail and found let
ter written on yellow paper. This
letter which Holt must have written
before he attempted suicide yesterday
morning, when a pencil with which
he tried to sever an artery, was ia
ken from him, was addressed "To My
Dears," and read as follows:
II must write once more. The
more think of it, the more see the
uselessness Of living under circum-
stances such as these. Bring up the
dear babies in love of God and man.

GERMANS TO STRIKE
WARSAW ON SOUTH
New Objective in Eastern War Area is
to Win City, Coupled With Isola-
ton of Southern Slav Armies.
OFFENSE BEGAN LAST AUGUST
Purpose Failed at First and There is
No Certainty of It's Success Now
Present Effort Final Hope.
BY ]. w. r. MASON.

New York, July 7.-Germany's new
objective to the eastern war area is
now revealing itself as a drive on
Warsaw from the south, coupled
with the isolation in Southern Russia
of the Slav armies, which are being
forced out of Galicia. This double
intention was the purpose of the Of
fensive campaign with which Aus
ria-Hungary began the war last Au-
gust.
Two Leaders Involved.
The two German leaders in the
present movement are General Won
Lingensen and Marshal Won Mack
ensen. Won Lingensen is pushing
the Russians through the Eastern
Galicia into Russian territory. Once
over their own frontier, the Russians
will be prevented from going to the
relief of Warsaw by direct route be-
cause of extensive marshes. Between
these marshes and the Vistula river,
Won Mackensen is operating. The
only way he can be attacked by the
defeated Galician Slavs is along a
narrow plain running from the Gal
ician frontier northeast to the marsh
es Won Mackensen must close this
gateway himself, which he is doing
with his right wing.
Moving on Ivangorod.
The rest of his army is now NOV
ing on Ivangorod, the only fortified
center on the Vistula south of War
saw. Warsaw itself is not fortifica-
ton. It is defended by a field army
and by two entrenched camps on the
Vistula. One of these is Novogeor-
gievsk, 20 miles to the northwest,
and the other is Ivangorod, so miles
to the south: Won Hindenburg tried
to capture Warsaw by moving on
Nofogeorgievsk from all points of the
compass and failed He also tried
to subdue Ivangorod from every di-
rection except that now being taken
by Won Mackensen and also failed.
Won Mackensen's present effort
there is the final hope of the Ger
mans.
