To Test Initiative and Referen-
dum-Word comes from Bis
marck that at the hearing of the
case against the drainage board
fof this county on April 10, a test
will be made of the legality of the
Initiative and Referendum amend
ment to the state constitution. II
is claimed that the Bessessen act
was not spread upon the minutes
LOT either house of the 18th as
sembly, and that the diversion bill
passed two years ago is not the
same identical act.
Divet Says It's Unconstl tuition
iaI-Representative A. G. Divet
claims the Initiative and Refer
endum amendment to the consti-
tuition is unconstitutional, and
sends the Forum his reasons for
the faith that's in him. If so, then
Hellstrom's petitions he is charg-
ed with circulating will all count
for nothing. If it's a part of the
constitution it can hardly be ''un-
constitutional" but it may not
have been legally made a part of
The constitution. The Times
leaves that to the lawyers. So far
as the Times is concerned it said
nothing in the campaign in favor
of that amendment and person.

UNIVERSAL justice. The address con-
cluded with the statement that all
Ireland is joining in the cry, "Viva

BOOZE" FOR EVIDENCE
Indian Officers Ship One Thousand
Pounds of Beer, Whisky and Wines
to Fergus Falls for Grand Jury.
TO INVESTIGATE HUNDRED CASES

With Special Officer J. P. Brandt
in charge, Indian agents are today
busy packing nearly one thousand
pounds of beer, alcohol, whisky and
wines of various kinds previous to
shipping to Fergus Falls where it
will be used as evidence before the
Federal court grand jury, which
meets next Tuesday. -..s
Assisting Brandt in the work are
Officers Thomasen and Benson and all
three will leave for Fergus Falls to
appear as witnesses in a large num-
Der of cases which have been brought
against alleged violators of the Indian
treaty of 1855, under the provisions
of which vast territory of Northern
Minnesota has been made "dry." It
is expected that at least 100 cases
will be submitted to the grand jury
and it is certain that a large per-
centage will result in indictments.
The liquor which is now being pre-
pared for shipment has been kept at
the county Jail and most of it is evil
dence which will be used against va
rious men on charges of introducing
liquor into Indian territory. =

ENGLAND'S VOLUNTEER ARMY PROVES
WORN OF u. S, MILITARY SYSTEM
JUDGE ANDREWS
AGAINST ROOSEVELT;
+ : TRIAL GROWS TAME
Omitted Press)

Syracuse, April 3O.-Three serious
reversals were made for Roosevelt
today when Justice Andrews made
rulings which barred some testimony
favoring the ex-president. John
Hennessy, former Governor Suffers
prober, tried to tell of graft, corrup-
ton and investigations of the state
government, but was not allowed to
answer a single question, the judge
holding the testimony immaterial.
\ ruling was also made by the
court which prevented H. H. Vree-
land, former president of the Metro
politan railway, telling of this cor
poration's bipartisan campaign con-
gratulations. The judge ruled that
it was bare fact that the Republi-
cans and Democrats voted together
to defeat the Hughes direct primary
bill but no evidence of corruption
prevented this testimony on Roose-
velt's side.
Royal France, Brooklyn Repub-
lican, said that Barnes had told him
that they could vote Republicans into
the Democratic primaries and vice
versa and nominate such rotten can
didates that voters would be disgust
ed with the whole proposition.
The trial is tame without Roose-
welt testifying.

YAKIMA CITY IS NO MORE

North Yakima, Wash, April 30
With the closing of the postoffice at
Yakima City, four miles south of
here, today, a town dear to the hearts
OF the early pioneers practically lost
it's separate identity.
Yakima City was established more
than a half century ago. Previous
attempts to close the office were
thwarted by the old settlers. How
ever, the postal receipts dwindled so
greatly that the government, throw
ing sentiment to the winds, ordered
the Office closed.

gan with the building of the North

GERMAN WARSHlPS SHELL
DUNkIRk; BRITISH TO.
PROTECT FRENCH COAST
Omitted Press)

Paris, April 3O.-An official dis
patch given out today by the French
war department says that German
warships operation on the Belgian
coast, has bombarded Dunkirk and
nineteen shells fell into the city, kill
ing 20'andswounding As.
It is believed here that a demand
has already been made upon the
British government to send warships
to protect the French coast. Most of
the new French naval fighters are
aiding the British forces in their OPP
erations upon the Dardanelles.
It was not believed possible that
German warships would take a
chance of operating so far from their
base of supplies and until today's an
nOuncement of the German lombard
sment all believed the French coast
safe from an attack.
It is believed that the Germans
have sent number of war vessels
south to cooperate with their army
in it's drive against the French coast.
1T is thought that the warships of the
coast are of the fast little type that
have raided the English coast during
the winter. An official statement
says that the Notifications at Dun
kirk we're not damaged. The Ger
mans are again bombarding Rheims.

from the United States on account of
this country having sold war NUM-
