City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST Is, 1915

The statement of Secretary Daniels that there is an overwhelming national sentiment in favor of substantial in- crease in the aircraft and submarine ample confirmation in the press of the nation, judging from thee comment of the reviews and hardly a newspaper of prominence in the land but has been loudly clamoring for naval expansion throughout the entire period of the European war. Inasmuch as the press, generally speaking, reflects in con- siderable degree the attitude of the public, their opinion may be accepted as more or less the opinion of the peo- pie and the tone of their comment in this relation indicates clearly enough that the publie are indeed of the opinion that an increased naval strength is not only desirable but is also imperative. Especially signifi- cant of this attitude are the utterences of the leading journals, many of which have boldly denounced as an outrage and fragrant violation of the duty of the government, the failure to main- tain a naval defense at least equal to the task of furnishing adequate pro- lection to the sea boundaries of the nation.
 
 It is noticeable that the major DOT ton of the press discussion, with few exceptions. is confined to the defense side of the question only; the ma . jority onl pointing out the necessity for increasing the naval strength to the degree that our coast line shall be guarded as far as is possible against the activities of a hostile fleet. Few offer more than a brief reference to the equally imperative necessity of guarding our insular possessions all though it is apparent from the state ments of a number of the leading na- val officials who have recently given their views to the public that We are as helpless as babes should it come to case of protecting our far off is land dependencies from the attack of even such comparatively insignifi- cant power as Japan. Judging from the comment, the majority of the pa pers seem to have accepted the view

Nome will be noted as one of the greatest gold producing districts of the world long after members of the present generation are great grand parents" said James B. Ivory. Nome mining man, on a recent visit to Se- attle. Mir Ivory, who has been a min ing operator at Nome since 1901, spent the winter on the outside for the first time in twelve years, coming out last fall and staying in California. He Is
 now returning to Nome for the sum-
 mer season. "Placer mining will of
 course play out in time" said MT. Ivory. "but dredging will continue a great many more years than l expect to live. There is practically unlimited ground that can be worked with dredges, and this form of mining is 1 just getting a good start. While hold a great deal of ground near Nome, don't expect to do much work myself
 but will lease the greater part of my land." MT. Ivory at one time held
 claims on the ground of the recent strike at Dexter hill. but relinquished | them five years ago. "I guess I didn't look carefully enough when l had those claims" said he. "At any rate got letter from friend of mine tell ! ing me that some rich pockets have
 been located and that the strike pro misses to be unusual"

WARMING.

Fire Chief Henry Engel asks the
Review to warn al! persons to make
every effort to be prepared against
an attack by fire. The cold season
is upon us when heavy fires will be kept
night and day. All chimneys should
be inspected and all rubbish carefully
cleaned away, removing every possible
chance for flying sparks to find fuel.
Examine all construction work in proxi-
nifty to chimneys and stove pipes and
make sure that an extra call upon the
furnace some cold night will not result
in a call for the Fire Department. The
recent factory fire in Pittsburg where
many lives were lost started in pile
OF straw. If the straw had been cleaned
away the tragedy would never have
occurred. Keep all premises clean, keep
infammable materials in freproof con-
tanners and keep all passage ways free
Of, debris which will hinder movement
in case a fire does break out. 4. Pre-.
paredness" in this, line costs nothing.

REDUCED PRICES FOR SCHOOL,
- STUDENTS.

While the price of the Lyceum course
numbers for this season is IS cents for
single admissions, the Current News
Club has decided to reduce the rates
for all students Of the various schools
of the city to Is cents for single numbers.
The work will be such that all young
people can thoroughly enjoy and profit
from and the Club hopes by reducing
the price to secure a large attendance
from the pupils who will in reality profit
more than any one else by the opportu-
nifty to hear gifted artists.
The first number of the course will
be given this week at the High School
Auditorium on Friday evening, Novem-
Der 18th. The entertainers will be
Madame Marie Gjertsen Fischer and
Madame Meta Schumann. The former
is NEST gifted reader who will entrance
her audience with her charm and talent
and Madame Schumann is already we'll
known here for the beauty of her voice
and the grace of her stage presence. No
one can possibly be disappointed in this
number of the course and it is hoped
that the success Of this will aid as a
magnet to draw good audiences for the
other numbers which are perhaps less
appreciated here because less under
stood. Make it a point not to miss this
splendid concert.

INTERESTING CASE
FROM LINCOLN co.
SUPREME COURT CONFIRMS
JUDGE OLSEN IN DOUBT OF
EVIDENCE.
CAN NOT PUNISH FOR PLANNING
A CRIME UNLESS CRIME is
COMMITTED.

When the supreme court Friday re-
manded to Lincoln county the case of
the state of Minnesota against Theo-
dore H. Lampe, it stepped between
Lampe and the prison gates and settled
what evidence is sufficient to justify a
conviction when an attempt to commit
a crime is charged. Lampe had been
sentenced to state prison for attempted
extortion.
According to the charge, Lampe, who
was formerly in the milling business at
Lake Benton, had as co-partner Hans
Laveson. In settling up their affairs
Lampe insisted that Laveson defrauded
him to the extent of $4,000.
This so preyed on Lampe's mind that
he logged Laveson continually and
finally arranged with Laurie Warming,
Jessie J. Webster and John A. Beaser
to collect the amount for him. The
three men, according to the agreement,
were to annoy Laveson until he paid
the amount. The annoyance was to
consist of threats and the employment
of other coercive measures.
Warming and Webster were met in
St. Paul by Lampe, who offered them
$1,000 to make the collection Warm
ing went to Lake Benton at Lampe's
expense. He made several efforts to
communicate with Laveson and finally
returned to St. Paul.
Beaser, tramp, was next employed,
and supplied with money by Lampe
which he invested largely in liquor in
Lake Benton saloons. He did not even
communicate with Lawson. Later Re
was arrested for intoxication.
1t was then that Lampe was arrested
and later convicted. Judge Olsen who
tried the case, not being positive as to the
correctness of the jury's findings, sent
the case to the supreme court.
Answering the lower court, the supreme
court says:
.'That an attempt to commit crime,
to be punishable as such, is the COM
mission of some specific intentional
overt act or acts tending directly, in the
natural course of events, toward the
commission of the crime. The mere act
of soliciting another to commit crime,
or preparation therefor, is not, in the
absence, of some overt act looking to it's
actual commission, sufficient to justify
a conviction" 49,.
In the Lampe case the supreme court
held the evidence offered is not sufficient
to justify verdict of guilty, and sent the
action back to the lower court.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

Recurrent cases of typhoid fever are
making necessary change in the water
supply Of the east end section of town.
For years people in that vicinity have
drawn their supply from a certain pet
spring of theirs which was sort of gift
to them and it has been almost impos-
sible to convince them that anything
could be the matter with their spring.
Now the Board of Health figures out
from the much sickness prevalent in that
part of town that something must be
done about the water supply and they
expect to have representative from the
state board OF health investigate the
conditions to locate contamination if it
exists and to condemn the supply if
necessary. All this was made known
by DR.. o. J. Seifert who appeared before
the City Council at their last regular
meeting. The council felt that some
thing should be done at once to remedy
matters and it is probable that water
mains will be laid to the east end. The
members of the Street Committee and
the Health Officer have the matter in
hand. When DR.. Seifert again heard
from the,state board he was informed that
lack of funds would greatly delay any
investigation.
The matter of the taking of the city
census was up before the City Council
in the form of petition signed by G. A.
Ottomeyer, J. H. Siegel, E. A. Pfeferle
and Ed. Stoll, acting for the Commercial
Club and F. III. Retzlaff, L. B. Krook
and Wd. Eibner, members OF the Council.
This petition asked that the City assist
the Commercial Club in the taking Of
the census, especially in the matter Of
providing funds for the work: Il is
estimated that it will cost about 500
and The council appropriated $50. Hubert

JURY DISAGRBBS IN
HOTEL ARSON SUIT
MAN WHO LIT THE MATCH GOES
TO PRISON FOR INDETERMI-sse.
NATE STAY.
OTHERS WHO INCITED TO THE
ACT TO BE TRIED AGAIN AT
SPRING TERM.

Altho the State made out a pretty
strong case against T. H. Jordan Of
Charles City, Iowa who was tried for
arson at Redwood Falls last week. the
jury failed to agree and after having
been out over 30 hours, Judge Olsen
discharged them Friday evening at
10 O'Clock. This case and the one against
M. f. Garvey who is also under indict-
ment for the same offense were con-
tinued until the spring term of the Dis
trict Court OF Redwood County.
J. w. Reyes who was the landlord Of
the Seaforth hotel at the time it burned
to the ground last spring pleaded guilty
to having set it on fire and was given
an indeterminate sentence in the State
prison at Saltwater Friday. He charged
the other defendants with having hired
him to set the hotel on fire, and in his
testimony before the jury he stated that
he was to have received $3.50 from Jor-
dan and Garvey for the job Of firing the
hotel. In the transfer to Reyes the con-
sideration for the purchase of the hotel
property was placed at $4,000 and in
surance for 1000 was perfected on it.
County Attorney Albert E. Emerson
was assisted in the trial of the case by
Judge Nethaway, Assistant Attorney
General of the State. The defendants
interests were looked after by Frank
Clague of Redwood Falls and Tom Davis
of Marshall.
