untrue nj the State Department No
such documents were found In the
package transmitted to this govern
ment through Ambassador Page. and
the department understands II has re-
csived all the papers invilved In the

stood that two of these were signed
by Captain Won papen and one by DR.,
Damha, the recalled Austro- Hungar-

the messages and refused TO make
any comment upon them IT is known,
however. that both of Captain Won
Paren's cipher dispatches were ad-
dressed to the government at Berlin
and that Ambassador Dumhas cipher
message was for his government at

BRITISH DENY ALL
DETERMINATIONS

Washington. Oct 1.-The British
government has made reply to the
charges that 1t is discriminating
against American trade with neutral
countries of northern Europe as a
means of building up its own COM
merce in that quarter. 1t cites figures
that tend to show that American ex-
ports to the neutral countries In
northern Europe have increased to a
much greater extent than those OF
Great Britain.
The British statement is In the form
of a note addressed to Sir Edward Grey.
to Ambassador Page at London BY
request OF the London foreign ONCE.
the note was given out at the State
Department today for publication In
the American press tomorrow morning.
In forwarding this note Great Britain
was apparently moved by a purpose
to still criticisms in this country. mo-
tably In the South. that II was exercis-
ing a blockade that helped Its own
business. while interfering with Amert-
can trade with neutra1s in Europe.
With the note 10 q communication
from Ambassador Page to the British
foreign ONCE requesting on behalf OF
Consul-General Stanner. at London. GER
tain statistics with regard to British
trade with Holland. Denmark, Norway
and Sweden. These statistics were FUR
nished by the British to Consul-Gen-
erai Stanner. who included them in a
report to Washington. They showed
increases In British exports OF cocoa
land cocoa products TO the northern
neutrals for the first part Of this year
ms compared with the same period Of
last year. From this Concul- General
Stanner drew the inference that British
traders were proffting at the expense
Of the restrictions placed upon Amer
lean trade with the northern neutrAls
as a result Of the British war measures
On this basis the fiat charge was
published repeatedly In the United
States that the British govern
ment was deliberately holding up
American trade with tho northern
neutrals In order that British exporters
might enjoy a larger trade with these
countries

Highmore Man Pinned Under Car

party consisted of Rev. A. c. DuBord,
A. j, Holtzmann and Ray Cornell.
They were coming down the long
hill three miles south of here, when

and it was discovered that a team

bridge
In attempting to pass the team, the
car left the bridge, turning turtle
and pinning Mr.. Noel beneath it.
The other three occupants were hurl-

CANNOT Count INDIANS
INTERESTING OPINION HANDED
DOWN BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

Pierre, Dee. 3.-Thrifty school of
ficials in counties where there is a
large Indian population are listing
Indian children in their school census
on which the apportionment of state
funds is made. The question has
been brought to the attorney gem
erals department on inquiry as to
the right of such census to secure
state school funds, and that depart
ment holds that no apportionment
should be made upon such a census.
Children of school age whose parents
have been granted full citizenship
rights, may be properly enumerated,
but those who are yet holding tribal
relations have no rights in the list.
1t is held on inquiry from Clark
county that tax certificate draws In
terest at the rate at the time of sale,
and that the act of the legislature re-
ducing he rate from 15 per cent to | 2
per cent does not affect certificates
under sale prior to the change.
An agent for an opera house
not plead that he is not the owner as
a defense in a suit for enforcement
of the inspection act is held in the
case of E. III. Carlisle, of Brookings,
who entered the plea that he was
only acting as an agent, and was not
responsible for failure or refusals to
comply with the state law.

WENTWORTH
ODD FELLOWS
AN EVENING OF INTERESTING
BUSINESS AND ENJOYMENT.

Wentworth Enterprise: Wednes-
day evening proved very interest
ing one for members of the local Odd
Fellows and Rebekah lodges and an
ENJOYABLE evening which we venture
to state is not soon to be forgotten.
Election of officers was no doubt
the cause of SO large an attendance,
but a roast pig, that Mr.. and Mrs.
Sherm Nicholson had prepared and
which was on the bill of fare, proved
a good coaxer also, and was certainly
entitled to its share OF the credit.
At the business meeting of the two
lodges the following officers were
elected for the ensuing term: Re-
bekahs-N. G., Irene Packard; V. G.,
Mrs. VIM. Power, sr.; secretary. Rose
Misenhelder. treasurer, Mrs. Albert
Moseson. Odd Fellows-N. G., VIM.
Holland; v. G.. Robt. Clarksean
secretary, Roy Jones; treasurer,
Chas. Erling.
At the conclusion Of the business
meeting the Odd Fellows were invited
10 the Rebekah hall where they were
given a peep at Wentworth's only
blind pig. Chas. Erling. perhaps on
account of being on the water wagon,
was chosen Official carver and in q
short while all that remained of the
pig was the glasses which had been
used in an attempt to conceal its en-
tire blindness. But different than
most blind pigs. its memory will be
cherished.
The meeting was one of the most
pleasant which has been held for
some time and the boys decided to
make installation night another bie
affair. The married men have pitted
themselves against the single men
and have guaranteed to decoy, cap
ture or kill more rabbits on a certain
date than their lonesome brothers. OF
furnish banquet on installation
night. Should the benedicts prove
successful 1t will be up to their en-
yiable brothers to do some culinar,
work for one evening at least.
The date for the big hunt has MOI
been set, but will be decided on a.
the next meeting. Installation OF of
ficers will be held the first meeting
In January.

RATE DECISION CASE
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS THAT
TAXATION RATE FOR 1913,
1914 AND 1915 STICKS.

Pierre, Dec. 3.-When asked in re
gard to the recent decision of the
United States supreme court on the
express tax cases. Attorney General
Caldwell said:
II have not yet seen the courts
opinion, but according to the news re-
ports, the law under which the ex-
press companies were assessed, has
been held unconstitutional. The at
torneys for the express companies at
tackled the assessment on two
grounds, Cd that the law was un-
constitutional; CD that the taxing
board had not valued the express
company's property in the manner
provided by statute | had hoped
that this law would be held good,
even though the particular assess
ment in question should be held bad.
That this law has been held void is
a matter of serious consequences to
the state. The particular section OF
the statute which has been held un-
constitutional was enacted in 1891,
and the express companies paid taxes
under this statute up to 1909. Ii Is
! fact also that our statutes for the
assessment of railway companies
telegraph companies and sleeping car
companies contain provisions which
are identical with the provisions OF
this section. The first statute of this
kind to be passed in this state applied
only to railway companies and was
enacted by the first legislative ses
sion that convened in the state after
the adoption OF our constitution.
"As to the effect of this decision
on the taxes levied for other year:
but not yet paid, this absolutely set
ties the cases pending involving thu
taxes for 1911 and 1912. But in thu
fall of 1912 we amended our consti
tuition in this state and the taxes fol
1913, 1914 and 1915 were levied un
der a different constitutional pro
vision. We expect to press the case
for trial Immediately involving th'
taxes for these recent years, and
am very hopeful that under the new
constitutional provision these take
may be sustained. The cases involv
ing these 1915 taxes are pending II
the circuit court OF Hughes county
while the 1913 and 1914 cases ar
pending in the United States distric
court.
