A COMING FACTOR

A political faction, known as the Citizens League, has ecent
com into life in Reno and promises to cut quite a figure in the approach
ing election. Since Is organization it has been subjected to considerable
dernion and referred to as a bunch Of cranks. But it continues to grow
is factor that is entitled to consideration. There may be ONE ranks
in the league, some sraghtlaeed relgioniss, but o n the whole 1t l"
made up Of voters who believe that a halt should be called when license
run riot.
The league has declared for the candidacy of Clarence q. Flerson as
mayor OF Reno and in a public card addressed to him the following
principles and purposes are stated:
Legislation recently enacted and approved has brought home t.
the citizens OF Reno the vital necessity of organization IS a measure OF
defense, and tt has compelled united action al the only method by
which we ma resist the complete domination control OF this CITY
by the same special and privileged interests which dictated the acs and
conduct OF the last legislature. To this end w e have organized the iii
zens' League, through which men and women of Reno are cooperating
for decency.
1--WE cannot in this city campaign modify or correct any of the
statutes. That task must be left for other times and occasions; but W c
believe it is II duty to prevent the control of Reno and the use of
this city and its government by these interests for promoting their own
welfare At the expense OF the public good.
"We have OF entered this campaign, OF is it our purpose, to assal
any lawful business when it is legiimate1y, properly and decenty n
Quoted. We desire to aid and assist in every way in our power the
growth and development Of the real business interests of Reno and the
better utilization of our natural resources, situation and advantages. 1t
is upon these that the prosperity of III people must always depend.
1--WE insist, however, that there must be a n immediate dissolution
OF the partnership between the city government and the liquor interests
We believe that Reno should fully control the liquor business instead O
having the liquor business control Reno.
Our position as to saloons is:
THAT they shall be decenty and properly conducted by those 10
whom the license has been actually issued and who are directly respon-
sble for their management
THAT the number of licenses shall be very materially reduced; sucn
reduction to be accomplished with the least possible injurt to those at
fected. and the preference in issuing licenses in the future tic be given ito
persons who owl and personally conduct their business and who have
obeyed the laws and ordinances OF the city.
That the city government shall enforce against all mpartiany the
laws and ordances within its jurisdiction.
That all liquor licenses shall be issued in accordance with the anne
plan, which shall include hotels as well as saloons"

MILLIONS IN CONTRACTS

A $200OOO0 contract for war materials, principally sharpnel from
the Allies, has been practically closed by the American Locomotive com
pany, is reported.
One of the largest purchasers of machine tools is the American
Locomotive company which has just bought some 500 machines, mostly
turret lathes, for turning out several million shells for the Russian gov
eminent, says the Iron Trade Review.
This company is understood to have closed its contract last week
with J. I. Morgan & Co, and the machine tool business was placed
without delay. 1t is understood to have booked a Russian sharpnel con-
ing house Electric & Manufacturing company, which last week a e
ported as having booked a second sharpnel contract, has closed for a
large quantity OF machinery in addition to that recently reported pur-
chased.

London, July 2S-Although Ger
mans are using very strong reinforce
ments of men and guns. they have not
yet succeeded in breaking the Rus
slams positions, either around War
saw or in Kovno and Courland prov
inces, in each of which sectors heavy
fighting has been in progress for near
ly fortnight.
Except for the capture Of the vii
lage of Goworowo on the Narew front,
and number of prisoners and ma
chine guns at that point, and between
Fitau and the Niemen, the German
official report received today does not
claim any advance.
Held by Russians.
In fact, General con Buelow, in the
north, and Field Marshall Won Henden-
berg, who crossed the Narew at somG
point, are being held up by Russian
counter attacks which, although pro-
badly costly to the Russians, show
that there is still plenty of fight left
in them.

The Germans have again attacked

Arccis, near Souchez, in an effort to
regain trenches lost during the last
few days, and have been partially sue
cessful in both places. So far as the
rest OF the western line is concerned
comparative calm prevails, but from

Asquith in moving the adjournment of
the House Of Commons this afternoon,
and the cheerful report of the Minis
ter of Munitions, Mr.. Lloyd George,
as to the step taken to supply the Brit

German submarines, according to a
telegram received here today from
Berlin, had sunk in the war zone up
to the 25th of July 229 English ves-
sells, 80 other hostile ships, and
neutral crafts. The latter, the mes
sage says, was sent to the bottom by
mistake.
Twenty-seven additional neutral
vessels, the dispatch adds, were ex-
amined and sunk because they carried
contraband.

Justice Ford Denies Former Pol

Trial.
DECISION MEANS HIS
ELoCTRoCUTI0N FRIDAY
Jurist Hands Down Decision Up
on His Fifty Fifth
Birthday.

New York, July 2S.--Gustaf John
Ford, OF the Supreme Court, tonight
denied new trial Of Charles Becker,
the former police lieptenant, under
sentence of death for instisating the
death of Herman Eosenthal the gam
bier. His decision meaas that Becker
must be electrocuted on Friday.
Justice Ford announced his deci-
sion at ten o'clock tonight in a down.
town office building, where he had
labored for several days and nights
with testimony submitted for and
against the application for new trial.
He called the newspaper men to his
chambers and as the secretary handed
them typrewritten copies of his de-
cision, the justice said:
Was His Birthday.
81 have denied the motion for new
trial. And this is my first day. am

way to spend your first birthday, isn't
it? .,r

Then the justice chated for several
minItes on the law involved in the
case. Only ncwsL aper men, his secre.

there. Mrs. Becker was said at that
very moment to ie visiting her DOOM
ed husband in Sing Sing.
.s Evidence insufficient.
Justice Ford's decisfc; covers five
full pages of legal cap papers that
contained about 1900 words. Il goes
into the details Of the affidavit filed by
the attorneys for Becker and declares
that the evidence proffered is for the
most part cumulative and insufficient
Referring to the plea of chief coun
sci for Becker that the right for grant
ing a new trial is inherent in court,
the decisions says:
81 cannot find anywhere in the auth
critics even acting upon the sugges-
tion that this court possesses any
such inherent power. On the contrary
as has been pointed out, the power
is granted by statute, and must be eX.
ercised in strict compliance with it.
Authorities Are Plain.
In conclusion the court says:

amined the affidavit, the position has
grown upon me that a new trial could
not be granted without disregarding
the law and attempting to usurp the
functions of another department of

A more complete report is expected
from him early tomorrow. .aa
First Step of Administration.
This is the first step by the United
States to re-cstablish peace in the
Haytian Republic. While officials
would not indicate the nature Of their
plans, the general belief was tonight
that the marines would not be with
drawn until some arrangements were
made to give promise Of resumption
of peace in the republic.
Admiral Caperon has 400 marines
and bucjeckets on board the U. S. S.
Washington, which arrived at Port
Au Prince today, and the collier JAS
on, with another 100 marines due
there tomorrow. Additional forces
are available at Guantanamo should
they be needed
Situation Very Grave.
The admiral had reported by wire
to Port Au Prince early today that
the situation at the latter place was
every grave The state department
received messages telling of the assas-
sination of President Guillauee by a
mob, which broke into the French le-
CATION, attacked the chief executive
and dismembered his body.
This violation Of the diplomatic COM
munity which foreign legations enjoy
would be regarded ordinarily as SER
ious offense, but in view Of the alb
sencc of a general government and
the turbulent incidents, the thing will
probably not complicate the situation.
Wilson De|iberating.
President Wilson has been giving
serious consideration to the situation
in Hayti for several weeks but def
mite decision as to the policy to be
pursued probably will not be reached
until President Wilson confers further
with Secretary Lansing. For the pres.
ent the belief is that the American
marines will take charge of the STU
alton and maintain order until peace
plan can be submitted to the revolu.
tionary leaders.
A mob of inferior Haytians removed
Vilrums Guillanee, president of Hayti,
from the French legation, where he
took refuge yesterday, and shot hlm
to death in front of te building.
The anger of the people was not ap.
peased and the body was dragged at
the end of a rope through the rough
streets of the city.

IMMENSE AMOUNT
INVESTED IN AUTOS
One Machine in This State fol
Every 26 IL Persons Is
Estimate.

If you were told that this new
sparsely settled state has around
100000 tied up in automobiles You
would undoubtedly be surprised. Yet
it is fact and is a figure which is
so enormous as to be incomprchonsi
bic by the average person.
Registrations in the Office Of secTe
tary OF state show that there are 49,
900 automobiles now recorded, while
applications for licenses are arriving
by the dozen every day. 1t is esti,
mated that the number of machines
will run up to 2S,500 by the end o!
the year.
Estimating the population IF the
state at 625 ,O00-and it is believed
that the census w.lich is now being
compiled will show that--it will read
lily be seen that this means one auto
mobile for every 26 IL persons, count
ing men, women and children.
Some have attempted to estimate
what amount of money these ma,
chimes show as being invested, but
there is a wide variation. Some hold
t;.e original investment, including ac'
cessories, at an average Of $500,
which would make the total invest,
ment $16,5O,O00. Others place it at
$1,000, which would make the total
amount invested, 23,500,000. The read
er can place the estimate to suit him
S If, but at any rate. it is an i'm
mcnse amount and is indeed surpris-
ing.
When it is considered that one in
every 26 persons owns an automobile
it is pretty good evidence that the
people of North Dakota arc enjoying
quite a degree of prosperity.

AMERICAN MAY Be
GUILTY Of TREASON

Washington, July 2S.-Perry l.. Will
son, Of Portland, Oregon, recently a
clerk in the American consulate at
Berlin, and now under arrest there,
faces charges that are considered ex-:
tremely serious by state department
officials. Wilson ostensibly was de.
tanned at the Danish border for at
tempting to leave Germany without
passport. The real complaint against
him, according to the complaint for
warded to Washington, is that he aid
ed British subject in obtaining
passport, asserting that he knew the
applicant to be an American citizen.
Ambassador Gerard reported the
case about two weeks ago. If Will
sons offense can be proven as charg-
ed, it constitutes reasonable act.
Secretary Lansing would not dis
cuss the case today further than to
say that an investigation was being
made.

FIND SONS BODY
HANGING IN BARN

Bantry, N. D., July 2S.-The body
of Percy Palmer, aged 21 years, liv-
ing north of Dcnbigh, was found hang
ing by rope in the barn. The body
was nude. Since the young man was
not known to have any enemies, his
death is attributed to suicide.
At the time of the hanging, young
Palmer was the only member of the
family at home. His shoes and clothes
are said to have been found in the
house when his parents returned and
found the nude body hanging nthe
barn, cold in death. The parents both
screamed and tainted from the shock
of the awful sight.

GUILTY OF

Letter of this city was found guilty to-

suburb, of two of three counts in an
indictment charging him with dyna-
miting the plant Of the Peabody Man
ufacturing company at Walkerville,
near here, and placing dynomite under

An appeal probably will be taken to

that the indictment against Letter was
defective.
