NEW WORKERS DISCUSS
STATE TAX PROBLEM

Albany, N Y, JAN 19.-Immedi-
ate, drastic and radical revision of
the states tax laws was the keynote
of the fifth New York State confer
ence on taxation which opened today.
Men representing all branches of
state and city government are here
to aid the conference in framing sug-
gestions which will undoubtedly be
presented to the legislature before ad-
tournament. Those attending the
meeting feel encouraged in their
work by the reference to the state S
tax laws made by Governor Whitman
in his initial message to the legis-
lature. All agree with the COVER
nor that the tax laws as they now
stand are nothing but patchwork,
sadly in need of simplification.-

BELGIANS CANNOT
COME JUST NOW

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 9.-Belgium
cannot now cooperate with organi-
cations of Nebraskans or with citizens
Of other states to organize a move
ment to place on farms in this coun-
try desirable immigrants from that
stricken land. A letter from Minis
ter Havenith of Belgium to Secre-
tary Written of the Lincoln CONNER
cial club, conveys this information
The letter came in reply to one sent
by Secretary Written to Secretary
of State Bryan, which Mr.. Bryan
turned over to the Belgian minister.
In his communication, Mr. Written
emphasized the desirability of making
an organized effort to choose the best
of the Belgian farmer class who are
expected to leave Europe as soon as
they can, and place them on farms
in the middle west. The Belgian
minister expressed his qualification
at the interest taken in his people
by the people Of Nebraska, but he
says that under the present condi-
lions it would be impossible to take
up any such plan just now, but that
he would be glad to cooperate in
such movement later.

LYCAN TO BE- CANDIDATE
One Of City's Most Progressive Citi-
zens Bows to Wishes of Friends and
Will Run for Alderman-at-Large.
SHOULD HAVE NO OPPOSITION

1t was with much approval that the
announcement of Frank S. Lycan's
candidacy for alderman-at-large be-
came known on the streets of the CITY
this afternoon.
For several weeks Mr.. Lycan, who
for seven years has been one of Be-
midji's most prominent and progress
sive citizens, has been urged by his
friends to become candidate. At
first he would not consider the pro
position but as the demands of his
friends became more and more in
sistent he today agreed to run.
AS alderman-at-,arge and president
of the council Mr.. Lycan would b.
placed in g position for which he is
qualified in every respect. He is one
OF the citys most successful business
men, progressive and possesses a keen
foresight which should prove valuable
to him as head of the council.
Last summer he was honored by
Governor Eberhart, being named as
a member of the Economy and Eff
cheney commission and several weeks
ago, at the convention of the North
trn Minnesota Development associa-
ton, was elected vice-president.
Mr.. Lycan has always been active
in the boosting activities of the Com
nlercial club and for an example OF
his faith in sthe city's future a glance
at the magnificent $4,000 annex tc
the Hotel Markham, just completed,
is sufficient. =
AS a member of the council Mr..
I.ycan would be. a credit to that body
and his election should be brought
about without opposition.

HE WOULD ABOLISH
STATION P0RTERS

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Insistent de-
mand will be brought to bear on no.
tel keepers and stations masters
throughout the United States to abol-
ish the railway station porter, if the
plans announced today by G. A.
Wooley, of Chicago, are successful.
Porters demand exhorbitant tips and
enforce their demands by roughly
handling the baggage AS an insti-
tuition they are "survival of obso-
lete conditions" says Wooley. "Why
should men and women who must
travel be assailed wherever they stop
by a crew of men yelling like mani
acs and trying to snatch their bag
gage away?" The movement has the
backing of the United States Com
Travellers.

FIND NOTHING AT BAGLEY.
Officers Search Several Places But
Fail to Locate Liquor.

Repeated reports have reached Be-
midi that the illegal sale of liquor at
Bagley was becoming more and more
noticeable and as consequence Spe-
cial Officers Carson and Brandt made
a trip to that town this morning. In
vestigations were carried on at sew
eral places but the agents failed to
uncover any liquor. They returned
to Bemidji on the noon train. officer
Carson returned last evening from the
vicinity of Detroit where he spent
several days. Considerable LIQUOR

SAYSCI1Y CANNoTREFUND
Attorney Russell Instructs Council
That Unearned License Money
Must Remain in City Treasury.
CONTRAD1CTS GENERAL SMITH

Until a section of the statutes of
Minnesota is slightly amended, the
city of Bemidji cannot refund the un-
earned liquor license money of sew
eral former saloon owners who seek
to secure it, At least this is the
opinion of p. J. Russell, city attor-
ney, as stated at the meeting of the
council Monday evening.
The matter was brought up for
discussion when a request from the
Bemidji Brewery company was read,
asking that the license money of J.
w. Oppie, which had been assigned
to it, be refunded.
Asked as to the authority of the
city in making refunds, the city at
torney said:
Notwithstanding the ruling of the
attorney general in holding that the
money may or may not be refunded,
it is my opinion that it cannot be, and
in connection with this matter I
wish to state that bill will be intro
duced at this session of the legisla-
ture which will amend section two
Of paragraph $3.50, which reads, the
money shall be returned when a Ii
sence has been annulled BY the sale
Of liquor becoming unlawful in the
place for which the license is grant
ed to include, or by reason of the
operation of any Indian treaty."
1t is expected that several other
former saloon owners will ask that
the unearned money be returned. No
action will be taken by the council
for the time being. The Oppie IL
cense would have expired January
81 and his saloon was. closed with the
other bars at the time the theaty or
der of the government went into ef-
feet.

AMERICAN FLAG
TAKEN FROM SHIP
BY BRITISH CREW

Berlin, Jan. 19.-In a dispatch re-
ceived here from Karl Won Weigand.
the United Press correspondent, it is
charged that. insults to the American
flag and improper interference with
American vessels have been made bv
the British.
A report has been transmitted to
Washington by Captain Farley of the
American steamer Greenbeir, which
is now in Bremen Harbor. The
Greenbeir was enroute to Bremen
with cotton, and was shipped from
New Orleans.
The report says that the vessel
was passing toward the German coast,
and bearing an American flag, when
it was halted by a solid shot across
its bow, fired from British cruiser.
The cutters crew, with an officer,
boarded the Greenbeir and demanded
ships papers, which were readily
shown. The officer then signaled for
more men and when they arrived the
flag was lowered and Cap
tain Farley ordered from the bridge.
Then the British flag was raised
and the British ordered that the YES
sci be taken to Leith.
This was refused and three days
passed before the British flag was
lowered. The ship then went to
Leith where it was examined and al
lowed to go to Bremen.

ELEVEN SHOT IN NEW
JERSEY STRIKE ZONE

Roosevelt, New Jersey, Jan. 10
Eleven strikers were shot, two Sc
riously, by detectives of a private
agency this morning, it being charged
that 800 strikers had surrounded
a train bearing strike breakers to
the William & Clark fertilizing
plant. It is reported that some
of the strikers went through the
train endeavoring to argue strike
breakers into not reporting for duty.
The plant has been closed. The de-
tectives emerged from the train and
shot without warning, say strikers.

fire TRUCK IS ACCEPTED
City to Pay SIS, 800 for Seagrave Ap-
paratus Which Councilmen Find is
Satisfactory in Every Detail.
CHARLIE AND MAJOR TO ca

Charlie and Major, the splendid
team which has so faithfully hauled
the fire apparatus in response to every
fire alarm which has sounded at the
City hall during the past five years,
are to go.
This fact became definitely known
Monday evening when the city coun-
Gil accepted the auto fire truck of the
Seagrave company, $4,000 to be paid
for the apparatus, one of the best
equipped and most reliable machines
GIFTS kind On the market today.
Already the department of East
Grand Forks has asked for prices on
Charlie and Major, and in response,
City Clerk Stein has been instructed
to ask for $3.50, this to include the
team, drop-harness and hangers.
Before the truck was accepted,
RUDE Miller, alderman of the fourth
ward, said:
''At the time the contract for the
purchase Of the truck was made l
made strenuous objection, claiming
that the time was not yet ripe for
such an apparatus. During the past
several days I have made careful in
vestigation of it's advantages and
have directed most of the tests, in
Guiding the one to Grand Forks Bay
this afternoon. The car is every
thing that the company claims and 1
am in favor of the purchase. The car
will go anywhere and the bay trip
proves it,"
City Attorney Russell also ex-
pressed himself as favoring the
truck.
An interesting point concerning
the purchase of the new apparatus is
the fact that it will do away with the
employment of one man at a salary
of $1,000 a year and the cost of feed,
which averages $500 annually. AT
this rate the truck will soon pay for
itself.
The Seagrave company guarantees
to keep the truck in perfect running
order for period of two years and
Robert Browning, the representative
who sold it, will return in few
weeks, as soon as it is placed in ser.
vice, and instruct the drivers

of the Central school building and
pupils who take their lunches to
school are to be provided with q
bowl of delicious hot soup for only a
penny bowl. The first soup, which

GERMAN field WORKS
- TAKEN BY FRENCH

Paris, Jan. 49, According to re-

here this afternoon the French have
captured German field works in the
forests of Leepretie, southwest OF
Metz. The strength of the French
was sufficient to cause the with
drawal of the Germans from that vic
Unity and they evacuated the woods.
There has been lull in the fighting
at many places and this is believed
to be preliminary to an anticipated

It is admitted that raising of the
