SAYS SUBMARINE USED
U. S. BARK AS SHIELD

Liverpool, July 14.-How an Amer
lean ship is alleged to have been used
as a shield by q German submarine
for the sinking Of another vessel is
the story related by members Of the
crew st the American bark Normandy,
Just arrived here from Gulfport, Miss.
x The story is that the Normandy
was stopped sixty miles southwest Of
Tusker Rock, Ireland. The captain
of the bark was allowed to return to
the Normandy, but under the threat
that his ship would be sunk unless
he shielded the submarine, which lay
around the side of the bark, hiding
itself from an approaching vessel.
This vessel proved to be the Russian
steamer Leo.
Presently the submarine submerged
and proceeded around the bow of the
Normandy, SO the story went, and ten
minutes later the crew of the Nor
mandy saw the Leo blown up.
twenty-five persons were on board.
of whom eleven were drowned, includ-
ing three stewardesses. Those saved
included three Americans, Walter

MORTGAGE TAX LAW
TO Be TESTED
Case Goes to Supreme Court
From Cass County.

Fargo, July 13.-County Auditor
Addison Leech has been served with
a restraining order, issued from the
supreme court of the state, to pre-
vent him or the tax commission of
the state or the county commission
ers from proceeding under the recent
act passed by the legislature for the
taxation of moneys and credits and
also citing the tax commission, coun-
ty commissioners and the auditor to
show cause why they should not be
restrained and enjoined from pro-
ceeding under this act.
This order from the supreme court
comes as the result of action taken
by Attorney Aubrey Lawrence of the
law firm of Lawrence & Murphy of
this city, acting for Henry Amerland
as relator against the county officials
and the state tax commission for put
ting something like s20,000,0OO
worth of mortgages on the tax lists
of Cass county, the county officials
having been, recently instructed by
the tax commission to place these
mortgages on the lists for assess
ment.
Similar orders were issued by the
commission to almost every county
in the state covering various
amounts of mortgages on record in
those counties.
The case here will be test of the
new law, which was introduced by
Representatives Burgett and West
dal as house bill 331 and passed by
the legislature. ...
The petition of Mr.. Amerland,
which is to make part of the order
issued by the supreme court, alleges
that the law is unjust and unconsti-
tutional, there being a large num-
Der of things cited why the law
should not be carried out.
The order of the court, which is
signed by E. r. Goss, acting chief
justice, makes September 10 of this
year at 10 o'clock as the time for
the defendants to appear before the
court and show cause why they
should not be restrained and en-
Joined from proceeding under this
legislation. The hearing has been
set for the supreme court rooms at
the capitol.
The case is one that will be watch
ed with great interest all over the
state of North Dakota.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
JULY MEETING
Mako Numerous Changes in Real Es-
tate and Personal Assessments.

The board of commissioners trans
acted large amount of business last
week and adjourned Monday until
Friday of this week, when they meet
again both as an equalization board
and as a board of commissioners.
The board authorized the laying out
of a road in 4-63, and also ordered
an election to be held for the incor-
poration of the town of Montpelier,
the election to be on July 20, also
ordered an election for July 26 for
the organization of Bloomfield town
ship.
The board spent considerable time
in the equalization of taxes and, at
the conclusion of it's labors, will
make number of changes in the as
SCISSORS returns, raising the assessed
valuation of land in certain town
ships, also making numerous changes
in personal property valuations.
The county assessors have, inde-
pendently from the state tax COM
missioners, returned large amount
of personal property for taxation that
has never been listed before, consist
ing of moneys, credits, notes, mort
cages and book accounts, etc. These
will aggregate about 100000, while
last year they we're listed at only 49,
$50, but paid full pro rata taxes.
The list this year, while greatly in
creased in amount, carries a tax of
special rate of mills on the dollar,
or two dollars on one thousand. The
commissioners decided to observe the
law passed by the last legislature in
this matter, and If any litigation aris-
es in bringing test hearing of the
constitutionality of the law before
the supreme court, the commissioners
will be in position to take advantage
Of the result which ever way it may
be found. Outside of the special
items of money and credits required
to be assessed under the new law,
there will be no great change in the
assessors valuation this year over
last, when it aggregated $12,O91,108
for the county. .....

HALF OF MINNESOTA
COUNTIES NOW DRY

st. Paul, July 14.-One-half Of the
eighty-six counties in Minnesota are
now under county option.
The two necessary to make forty
three dry counties went into this col
umn at elections Monday. They are
Anoka and Freeborn counties.
At the same time Goodhue and Sher.
burne voted wet, making eight coun-
ties the vets have carried. since the
first county option election, April 26.
The latest elections had the usual
quota of surprises. Sherburne coun-
ty, which sent Rev. Henry Holmes to
the legislature as the only minister of
that body and one of the leading coun-
ty optionists, went wet by about thirty
votes. There are two saloons in the
county.
Freeborn county, where it was pre-
dicted the vote would be close, was
carried by the drys by 857 votes. Al
bert Lea, which has thirteen saloons,
went wet, 867 to 677, but the vote
against saloons in other parts of the
county easily Overcame this lead OF
the vets. The only saloons are at
Albert Lea. which also has brewery
branch and three wholesale liquor
houses. .......
Goodhue county went wet by about
200 votes. Red Wing voted to keep
its twenty saloons and two breweries
by a mapority of 1856 votes, nearly
100 more than the vets carried the
city by at the local option election
last spring. Outside Of Red Wing
there are FIVE saloons in the county
three at Goodhue, one at Frontenac
and one at Hay Creek.
Anoka county, which has only two
saloons, was won by the drys by about
200 majority.
