WALSH ACCUSED DISTORTI ING
 TESTIMONY
w. L. Mckenzie King, of Rockefeller Foundation, Puts Walsh of Industrial Body in Ananias Club.

NEW YORK. June l--Charges that Chairman Walsh, of the Industrial Lelatlons Commissian, distorted tes- timony in the Kansas City statement yesterday which sought to make it appear that Rockefeller was personal ly responsible for the labor troubles in Colorado, was made by W. l.. Me KenHe King, former minister of labor in Canada and now director of the in- vestigatioa into industrial relations for the Rockefeller Foundation. King quoted a transcript of his testimony before the commission to show he did not say things Walsh statement ayerred
 King said no better example could be afforded of the methods adopted by Walsh and the kind of things "I protested against while tesLfymg in Washington than the paragraph oi his statement given to the public in the name of the commission, in which he says the commission proved the ah- solute responsibility of Rockefeller, Jr., himself, for everything that hap. pcned in Colorado, and that I posted while testifying that the will and conscience of Rockefener. IT., was wore potent in Colorado than all the public opinion of all the people of the United States.
 That this is a complete peryersion of my testimony is snown from the extract of the official stenographiC report Contrast the will and COT cience of Rockefeller. Jr., with the power of public opinion as well as the introduction of the reference that it was Rockefellers will, were Walsh's and not mine"

WALSH REPLIES.

KANSAS CITY, June 1.-Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the ~niteG States commission on industrial relations, to- night replied to the charges of Mac Kenzie King that he distorted the tes- timony in the statement issued yes terday Walsh asserted Kings charges of distortion would seem to simmer down to a question as to whether King in his testimony was boasting or confessing"
 "ln my statement yesterday" con tinued Walsh. l did say that King was an employe of the Rockefeller Foundation, boasted on the witness stand in Washington that the will and conscince of Rockefeller Jr., was more potent in Colorado than all the public opinion of all the people of the United States. l believe any school boy will quickly see my statement bore out by what King cecsares mas been his verbatim declaration, inas much as the manner of King while giving his testimony was loud and truculent I still believe he was boast ing"

 The climax came when Dr. Henry Battle closed his address with the words "Our President, God bless protect and guide him. has his hands at the helm of the ship Of state, and is directing her course through the stOrm-tossed waves Of a world at war.
 Frequent references to the Europe an war were made in the convention and the veterans cheered and pledged their support 10 the President in up- holding the nations honor.

WILL DETERMINE GERNANY'S
 POLICY
United States Must Determine Whether Germany Will Abide by Accepted Rules of International Law.

WASHINGTON, June l-The Presi- dent Of the United States must ascer- tain definitely and very promptly from Germany whether the Imperial Government intends in the future to be guided by the accepted principles ol international law and the rights of neurals or follow her own rules of maritime warfare.
 The President listened to various expressions of opinion at the meeting of the cabinet taking little part in the discussion bimself Later he be- gan the preparation of note 10 be dispatched before the end of the week, embodying his own ideas and what seemed to him to concensus of the of- fciai family.
 Tomorrow Count von Berstorf. the German ambassador, will call on the President. It is his first visit since he returned from Germany after the war began. There are several rumors as 10 the purpose of his visit.
 The verdict of a majority Of the cabinet will be that the German reply to the America note following tho sinking of tbe Lusitania is unrespon- sive and unsatisfactory, that it disre. garded the good win of the United States, doubted its facts and disclaim- ed an blame for its destruction of the merchantmen with American lives.
 The questions of fact raised by Ger many are regarded irrelevant at this time. The concensus of the opinion was the United States must inquire ! and obtain an early answer az Co whether Germany intends to reeog Inize the hitherto accepted principles that neutrals may travel anywhere on | the high seas on unarmed merchant ships, whether or not such vessels ear Try contrahand and that merchantmen which do not resist capture must be visited and searched and the passen gers and crew transferred to a place of safety before the vessel is destroy
 ed.
 The unf4vorablo answer to this in Iuuiry win lead, 1t is predicted in of ! ncial quarters Co the severance o l diplomatic relations on the ground
 that the United States could not con tinue intercourse with government which repudated these principles
 Steps win then be taken to inform ] Americans of the danger to whicl they are exposed as a result of thii
 action, and such measures as neces
 sary may be adopted to afeguard the
 lives and interests of citizens of tn, United States

June 1-n the face of yesterdays Russian claim that the Austro-German grip on Przemysel was broken. and that the offensive iu the great Galician struggle had passed to the Russians came from both German and Austrian officials tonight asserting the Austro-Geimans were successful to the north and southeast of Ghe fortress. that forts girdling it to the north has fallen in. to their hands. while to the south east they ave wrested Sry from the Russians. In fact, the Austro-Ger- mans say the campaign is running in their favor everywhere in the east em zone from Libau in the North, to the southern-most tip of the Cali elan battle line Elsewhere there are minor engagements
 It is apparent the Russians since heins forced back to the San have been rushing up heavy reinfOrCements in the hope of averting the fall of Przemysel But the Austr0-Germans are undeterred by their stupendous losses and as yet have shown little disposition to accept a purely deien fivc role.

was alleged Misrepresentation of GER

The taxing district in the p, county
having the lowest rate of taxation is
township 160, range 80, Elmdale, with
a rate Of 1873 mills on the dollar.
The total amount of taxes levied in
dollars for all purposes is 1898. S28.79.
Of this amount the state gets S54,-
275.50, the county gets S16O,346.33.
There are SIS organized townships in
the county which will receive all told
$95, 563.27, the cities and county which
will receive for general purposes
500, 1881, the city of Minot and the
city of kenmare will receive for spe-
cial purposes $86,71.66. The schools
of the county receive over one-third of
all the taxes levied, the total amount
spread on the tax lists to the credit of
the different school districts amounts
to 1926, 1852. This amount includes
the school polls and the county tuition
fund but not the state tuition funds
which are received by the county treas
urer quarterly and distributed by the
county superintendent of schools and
annually.
It appears that the year 1915 will
be good roads year for this county
for the tax list recently compiled by
the county auditor shows that $685.
1886 was spread for road purposes.
Of this amount, 100000 was author
lied by the board Of county commits
sioners and will be spent under their
supervision, the balance was levied by
the several township boards and will
be spent under their supervision and
the road overseers.
Ward county has a bonded indebted
ness of $3.50, 10000, maturing in 1925.
The sinking fund created to take care
of this debt is growing at the rate Of
10000 per year and on December
first this fund had $50, 10000 in it,
which the county loans out to the diff
ferent banks Of the county on time de-
posits at the rate of per cent per
annum. The floating debt of the coun-
ty on December first amounted to
$155, 10000, but there are in the hands
of the county treasurer enough funds
available to retire $118y0O0.O0 Of this
Indebtedness, 10. in reality the hoating
debt is in the neighborhood Of $S7,-
10000.
In 1925 when the bonded debt be-
comes due and is paid OF, we predict
Ward county viii be entirely free Of
debt, with ! surplus in the several
funds, providing the county does not
build new court house in the mean
time. That remains matter for the
voters and taxpayers to decide.
