Price Of Meat Is Due
to Go Up Some More

London, Sept. 16. - The British
prize court condemned the greater
part of the American product forming
the cargoes Of four steamships.
The products, valued at several mil
lion dollars are declared forfeited to
the crown. 5&
The judgment was delivered by Sir
Samuel T. Evans, president of the
court. 1t involves the cargoes Of Nor
wegian steamship Kim, Alfred Nobel,
Bjornstjerne and Fridland s,la.,
All the goods on these vessels con-
sisting principally of American meat
products was confscated with the ex-
ception of small proportion which
the court released to the claimant.
The case has been pending for sew
eral months. The steamships were
seized last November although efforts
were made by American owners to OBJ
tain an early trial the British authori-
ties set the hearing for June.
The hearing closed last month. The
Judgment was reserved until today.
The meat cargoes confiscated by
Great Britain will be a complete loss
to the packers, according to Thomas
E. Wilson, president Of Morris & Co.,
as there are no advance payments
made on shipments. Wilson said he
would issue statement for the pack
ers late today.

Stranger Is Drowned
Near Jamestown

Jamestown, Sept. 1S.-Charles Va
lette, a transient, was drowned yes
terday in the James river near the
Warren farm about three miles south
east of the city. The fireman on the
engine of the valley passenger train,
in passing the spot, noticed what ap'
peared to be the body of a man in the
river at that place. Conductor Ed
ward Knowles was notified and the
city authorities were informed of the
matter. The coroner, Undertaken Flint
and States Attorney Chase attempted
to find the body last night but it was
too dark, and another effort made this
morning was successful. The body
was found in about four feet of water.
1t appears that Valette had gone
to the river and taken off his clothing
to 90 swimming. The water was cold
and quite deep little beyond the
spot where the body was found. The
man apparently was taken with
cramps and drowned. No other per-
son appeared to be with him. He had
six dollars in money in his clothes and
letters and papers identifying him
fully. He has relatives at Simpson,
Mimi, and sister teaching school at
Sentinel Butte, N. D., also a brother
at the state hospital.
Valette was a man about IS years
of age and had apparently come to
jamestown to see his brother and
also to work The remains were TAX
en- from the river and brought to
Flint's undertaking ablishment
where they will be held until word
is received from Miss Valette of 9TH
er relatives regarding their DISPOSE
ton.

DIPLOMATS Think Time at Hand
to Recognize Carranza as Ruler

New York, Sept. 18.-Secretary of
State Lansing, representing the United
States government, and the diplomatic
representatives of Brazil, Chile, Ar
gentina, Bolivia, Uruguay and Guate-
mala resolved at their meeting here
today that the time had come for the
extension of formal recognition to a
government in Mexico.
Three weeks from today another
meeting of the conferees will be held
in Washington at which decision is
to be reached as to the element on
which recognition should be con-
ferred. A formal statement issued by
the conference declared that inasmuch
as the factions themselves had failed
to come to an agreement, recognition
accorded to the defacto authorities
possessing 1.-The material and moral
capacity necessary to protect life and
property Of nationals and foreigners"
Each Of the several governments, 1t
was announced, would itself Judge
such capacity and recognition would
likewise be extended by each govern
ment separately at such time as it
may be proper"
Unless the military situation in
Mexico takes decided turn within
the next three weeks in favor of Gen.
eral Villa, who has concentrated his
forces for battle with General Obre-
gon, the Carranza COMMANDMENTS
chief of Torreon, most of the confer
ees were of the opinion that Carranza
would logically be entitled to recog-
milton. .a
The several governments will en-
deavor to learn, however, not only
what territory each faction controls

Record Shows That
:. Prohibition Pays

Fargo, Sept. 1S.-While prohibition
may not absolutely prohibit, it is evil
dent from the experiences of local
merchants that it does cut down to
the average individual expenditures
for liquor, leaving more money for the
necessities of life and making collec-
tons much easier
Since Moorhead has gone "dry"
there has been a noticeable increase
in collections and payments have
been made on many old bills that
have been running for months. One
local retailer stated that among GER
tain families he has already noticed
that a better quality of goods is be-
ing purchased.
Another place where great change
is noted is at the police station.
While there have been many arrests
for incipient bootlegging, the number
of DRINKS has been greatly reduced.

Bismarck Man Kills Self and
the Woman Who Deserted Him

Aberdeen, s. D., Sept. 1S.-William
Vogt, taxi cab driver at Bismarck
shot and instantly killed Mrs. Louisa
Gushing with whom he had lived for
some time at Bismarck, seriously
wounded Mrs. Mae Porter of this city
and then turning the gun on himself
took his own life. This triple tragedy
took place this morning shortly be-
fore noon at the home of Mrs. Mae
Porter with whom Mrs. Gushing has
been living for the past week. q.
The cause of shooting is believed to
have been jealousy. Letters found in
possession of the dead woman show
plainly that she and Vogt had been
living together at Bismarck and that
she had run away from him and gone
to Fargo, where she has three chill
dren in st. James Orphanage, and had
later come to Aberdeen in company
with man named Roy w. Fullerton,
of Bismarck, who is here in the inter-
ests of patent he has perfected. 1t
is also understood here that Fullerton
is a married man with a family at
either Bismarck or some other town
in North Dakota. Vogt arrived in
Aberdeen last night. Early this morn
ing he went to the home occupied by
Mrs. Porter and tried to get in, but
the house was fastened from the in
side. Breaking in the back way he
soon came out dragging Fullerton
with him, took him to the sidewalk
and told him to get out.
In the meantime Mrs. Gushing, who
was in the house at the time, with
Fullerton, left the building and run
ming to neighbors, called up Mrs. Por-
ter, who is employed at Taylor's
steam laundry, and told her to come
home. AS Mrs. Porter stepped upon
the porch following Mrs. Gushing into
the house, Vogt stepped up. Mrs.
Porter told him to leave the place as
he was not wanted there, and threat
ened to call the police in case he did
not leave. At this Vogt drew a gun
and fred two shots at the woman,
one missing her and blowing through
the wall of the house. The second
shot took effect in her neck, barely
missing the jugular vein. She stag
gered into the house and fell to the
floor.
Vogt entered the house and de-
manded of Mrs. Gushing if she would
return to Bismarck with him. She
told him no. He told her that he
would shoot her, if she did not. She
told him no again and called him a
cur He then said, IF you will not
go home with me, will kill you and

Call on Bulgaria to Say What
She Intends to Do for Serbia

Paris, Sept. 18.-The entente allies
have presented a joint note to the
Bulgarian government asking in effect
that it declare itself as between them
and the central powers. The note
however is not in the nature Of an
ultimatum.
The note which was delivered to the
government at Sofia Tuesday was
sent in pursuance of decision by the
allied powers to test the good faith OF
Bulgaria by submitting the recent
concession made by Serbia with the
view of securing from Bulgaria a de-
finite statements as to her position.
Although the note does not fix a
date for reply and is not an ultimatum
diplomats familiar with it's contents
say it is of a nature requiring Bull
garia to take a stand one way or the
other.
It points out that the allied powers
are now preparing to offer serbia's
concession on Bulgaria's claims to the
disputed territory and ask Bulgaria
if the concessions secured through the
joint offices Of the allies will bring
about Bulgaria's cooperation with
the other Balkan states.
What, if any reference is made to
Greece, is not discussed but it appears
to be considered that Serbia's conces-
sions should suffice to secure Bull.
garia's adherents to the Balkan union.
While the exact limit of the Mace
DOMAIN territory which Serbia con-
cedes is not known, the concession Is
believed to cover all territory east Of
the Vardar river with possible neu.
trail zone west of the river.
Such a concession would give Bull.
garia territory along the western

DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair
don't use soap. Most soaps and
prepared shanpoos contain toe
much alkali, which is very injur-
ious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for
it is pure and entirely greaseless.
It's very cheap, and beats soaps
or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug
store, and few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required.
1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
is soft, fresh looking, bright,
fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle.
Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

WOOD AND RAPS
SEC. GARRISON

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Col.
Roosevelt today has sharply criti-
cised Secretary of War Garrison
for his note to Gen. Wood, in
which the commander of the
Plattsburg camp was called down
for permitting Roosevelt to make
speech at variance with the
policies of the administration.
General Wood is in no way re-
sponsible for my remarks" said
Roosevelt.
He said arrangements had been
made for him to speak three
weeks ago, with the knowledge of
the army department; but that
no objections had been made, nor
had any hint been given as to
what sort of speech he was sup
posed to make.
"If the administration had
shown one-tenth the energy in
dealing with Mexico and With
Germany for the murder of Amer
lean citizens as it has In trying
to prevent our people knowing the
need of preparation for war, 4
would be rendering a useful serv-
ice," was Roosevelt's parting snot.
