Question Of Paying Owners.


Expressing their personal opinions
that the appropriations TO meet the
claims of owners OF animals slaugh-
tered by the state to prevent the
spread of foot and mouth disease are
to be considered as current expenses
of the state government, and not
therefore, subject to the ninety-day
referendum period, the members OF
the State Agricultural Commission
and Gov. Frank B. Willis, an ex-oficio
member, decided to ask the Attorney
General for a ruling. There are ap-
preparations of nearly 100000, and
the owners of the slaughtered animals
wish to secure their money from the
state as soon as possible. There has
been considerable annoyance over the
n~inety-day delay. One suggested rem
edy was to ask the General Assembly
to pass an emergency" act, but the
plan was frowned upon by Gov. Willis,
who c~ontended that by no possible le-
gal process could any emergency af-
fecting the public health, peace and
safety" be found in the situation. The
decision to ask for a ruling was agreed
upon. The board also discussed with
the governor plans for an emergency
appropriation to give it the mean to
care for any fresh epidemic that might
break out between legislative ses-
sions.

Are Liable For Damage.

Do you know that if a fire
is caused by your carelessness that
you can be held for damages? That's
common law and there are numerous
court decisions to back it up. Most of
the fires are the result of negligence,
and State Fire Marshal E. R. Defen-
baugh is getting ready to spread broad
cast a warning that the public must
show more interest in preventing the
waste.
Attorney General Turner was asked
to prepare a statement of the law gov
erning individual liability of persons
through whose carelessness fires re-
suit. "At common law, one employing
fire as his agency, or upoE whose prop
erty a fire has been accidentally or
without his fault started, who fails
to exercise ordinary care under the
circumstances to prevent its spread
to neighboring property, o. one who
negligently or carelessly starts a fire,
is liable to damages to another for
injury to person or property, Of which
such injury, such fire, or its spread is
the proximate cause" The cleanup
campaign which has been going IN in
the various cities of the state under
the direction of the state fire marshals
department is doing much to eliminate
fire hazards.

REV. DARNELL IS DENOUNCED
Arguing at Preachers Trial Own Law
yer Attacks Him, but Says His
Acts Are Not White Slavery.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 13.-"I don't
believe the defendant has a spark of
manhood in him, so far IS women's
morals are concerned, but that doesn't
make him a white SLAYER" said Henry
P. Schmidt, consulting attorney for
James Morrison Darnell, in arguing
for the acquittal of the former Keno
sha preacher, on trial for alleged viola
ton of the Mann white slave act. With
the testimony of Mrs. Anna Vaughn of
Chicago, mother of Doris, whom Oar
nell married and from whom he was
divorced, the government rested its
case. Mrs. Soper, mother Of Ruth,
testified for the defense that January
9, 1915, she gave Ruth SOS to leave
Owatonna, Mimi, for Kenosha, and
that Darnell accompanied the girl on
that date. 1t is expected the case will
90 to the jury today.

Former kenosha Pastor Convicted Of
White Slavery by Jury In Federal
Court at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 15.-Ruth
Soper is not the wife of Rev. James
Morrison Darnell, wherefore he is
guilty of violating the Mann act in
taking her from her home in Ovation
ma, Mimi, to Kenosha. That was the
verdict returned by the jury on Thurs
day which had been listening to the
minister's trial in the United States
district court. The jury went out at
12:45 o'clock and its finding was read
before Judge Geiger at 3:55. Ten
years in the ~penitentiary and a fine
of $4,000 is the maximum penalty that
may be inflicted. Darnell was tried
on eight counts. divided into two
groups covering two charges. The
substance of the charges was that he
had transported Ruth Soper from
Owatonna, Mimi, to Chicago and
thence to Kenosha, Wis, for immoral
purposes.
The defense entered the usual mo-
ton for a new trial.

ASKS A UNITED NATION
PRESIDENT URGES ALLEGIANCE
TO HIGH IDEALS.
Speaks to 1000 AIien-Born at Phila-
delphia-Puts Humanity Above
AlI-Lauds Peace.

Philadelphia, May 12.-President
Wilson gave toNa gathering of 1000
naturalized Americans on Monday
night the first intimation of what
course the United States government
will pursue in the situation resulting
from the loss of more than 100 Amer
can lives on the Lusitania.
He spoke by implication, but his
hearers interpreted his remarks as
meaning that while the United States
would remain at peace it would seek
to convince Germany of the injustice
to mankind of the tragedy of last
Friday.
America" said the president, must
have the consciousness that on all
sides it touches elbows and touches
heart with all nations of mankind.
The example of America must be a
special example, and must be an ex-
ample not merely of peace because 1t
will not fight, but because peace is a
healing and elevating influence of the
world, and strife is not.
There is such a thing as a man be-
ing too proud to fight. There is such
a thing al being so right that it does
not need to convince others by force
that it is right"
These remarks precipltated a tu-
multi of applause and patriotic en-
thusiasm, attended by a waving of
thousands Of small -merican flags.
The president made no direct refer
ence to the Lusitania tragedy, but the
audience did no hesitate to read the
application of his statement.
introduced by Mayor Blankenburg
who spoke in distinctly German &C
cent, a welcome and appeal for a sin
gle allegiance to the United States, the
president carried forward the idea OF
the welding of foreign blood in the
makeup of America by pointing Out
b true goal of right American citi
zenshlp to be a loyalty not to the
country of ones birth but to the lane
of ones adoption.

POLICE STOP RIOTS.
BRITISH CONSTABLES SUPPRESS
OUTBREAKS AGAINST GER.
MANS IN ENGLISH CITIES.
MANY PERSONS ARE INJURED
Premier Asquith in Statement to the
House of Commons Hints Govern
ment Will Place Aliens in Concen-
tration Camps.

London, May 1.-THE sinking of the
steamer L%usitania has aroused to a
violent climax the smoldering hatred
and suspicion Of Germans living in
England. This animosity has found
expression in attacks of Germans,
principally upon their shops in the
poor quarters of London and Liver
pool, while there have been minor dis
t~urbances in Manchester, Birkenhead.
Glasgow, and a few other places.
Windows in many German shops
were smashed and some stores we're
pillaged. None of the persons attacked
are reported to have been seriously in
jured, but a considerable number were
more or less beaten. One or two shops
have been set on fire.
A spontaneous movement las de-
veloped in the London market to boy
colt subjects of enemy countries.
The police forces of both London
and Liverpool have BEEN depleted by
enllstments in the army, and special
constables have been called out to
help the regulars A number of police
nave been injured during the riotings.
Many of the d%isturbers of the peace
were bought before the police courts
n received punishment in sentences
ranging from four months imprison-
ment, imposed on one Liverpool
woman. to a four shillings fine.
After the meeting Premier Asquith
made a. statement in the house OF
commons foreshadowing that the gov
eminent would carry out the popular
demand for placing these aliens in
concentration camps.
1T would be difficult to find 9
parallel for the feeling of righteous
indignation aroused in all classes ii
this country" the Dtemier said. One
result of this unhappily is that limo
cent and unoffending persons are il
danger of being made to pay the pen
atty for the crimes of others.
From the military point of view
the steps already taken in the matter
of internment have otherwise proved
adequate for the purposes in view
namely, to provide for the safety o
the country and to prevent Illicit com
munication between alien enemies
here and their governments abroad.

when once imposed it must stand.
Often when some violator is hailed into
court the magistrate proceeds to ad-
minister a scathing a~rraignment to
the offender and then impose a heavy
fine upon him. Under the ruling it

remit a part of a fine. 1t s.assumed
