DENVER, March 22-Brig. Gen. Hugh
L. Scott was on the way to Salt Lake

from Bluff, Utah. Gen. Scott's prison.
ers are Tse-Ne-Gat, Old Polk, Chief
Posey and the latter's son.
The trouble which Gen. Scott settled
single-handed grew out OF an attempt
by United States Marshal Aquilla
Nebeker to arrest Use -Ne-Gat on a
charge OF numbering Juan Chaon, a
Mexican sheep herder. A number of
braves Joined Tse-Ne-Gat and Old Polk
to prevent the formers arrest, and

No Fault in Publications.

Nevertheless, we are OF a different
opinion. The statute means that notice
shall be given either not less than
twenty days before the time set, or on
twenty distinct days before that time.
We think 1t means the former. AS to
the usage OF speech, when we speak of
giving a weeks or q months notice,
we mean & notice that is a week or
month before the event. The fact that
the statute has been SO construed in
great number Of cases in the District.

1t seems to be the prevailing rule in
the state courts. although there are de-
cisions on the other side.
publication in daily papers is ex-
planned sufficiently by their being the
papers that business men are most
likely to read.
1T was said that construed as we
construe it. the statute would be salts

that the court Axes the notice and will
see that no injustice is done. 1t should
be observed further that the statute
itself Is notice of everything except
time and place of the proceeding. 1t
locates exactly upon the face OF the
earth the extensions to be made and
gives their length and width.
We are of opinion that the order of

other questions are of no general i'm

few words. They concern the conduct
Of the trial, matters that in the absence
Of very clear error would be in the local
courts. 1t was held to be error not to
instruct the jury that the burden was
upon the District to establish by pre-
ponderance of evidence the extent of spc-

Fierce Battles Are Raging
on the Entire GaIician Front

PETROGRAD, March 22, 11:i5 am,
via London.-On the whole Galician
front, from Ciorlitz, almost to the Ru-
manian frontier. there has been for the
past four days virtually a continuance
Of fierce assaults and counter assaults,
during which trenches and small viii
lagos have changed hands as many as
four times.
although this continued activity has
brought about no change OF real I'M
portance in the Galician situation, 1t Is
Interesting as evidence that the Aus
trian army is still capable of real re-
sistance against the Russian campaign
in eastern Galicia. The Austrians at
tack with violence and persistence. and
this in spite of the fact that they ap-
parently have lost the security of their
foothold at Stanislau and in the Stry
region.
: Forcing Austrians Back.
A study OF the daily records of this
hghting as received in Petrograd shows
that despite their aggressive activity
the Austrians are being forced to the
south and closer to the Carpathian
mountains, through the passes of which
two months ago they began an inva-
sion, the purpose of which was to re-
Heve the garrison at Przemysl and to
set of the war.
The effectiveness of the Russian artil-
iery apparently has played consider
able part in the checking of the Aus
trian drives in the direction of Pre-
mysl. These efforts are still being con-
tinued, but Russian military observers
declare their chances of success are
diminishing for the reason that the
main German and Hungarian forces are
now too far from the Przemysl fortress
to offer proper support to such a move
ment.
+ Bring UP Reinforcsments.
/. Repeated Austrian attacks on wide
f,ont near Gorlitze have been stopped by
the Russian fire. After apparently
abandoning hope of success in this region
the Austrians unexpectedly brought up
relnforcements and delivered three fresh
attacks In quick succession. Each re-
suited in failure

Two Russian Successes.
LONDON. March g. 1:s2 p.m.-Two
Russian successes at the extremities of
a 6eemils front are reported today
from Petrosrad and these seem to
mark the only operations more i'm
portant than local engagements in
either arena of the war.
The seaport OF Memel. on the Baltic
IN East Prussia. is definitely in the
hands of the Russians, but the place
is OF little strategic Importance as 1t
is surrounded by swamps which. in
view Of the breakup OF winter. make
impossible any further advance from
this direction. The Nemel movement
does, however. take the invaders into
part OF East Prussia hitherto FREQ from

have some political effect.

VOLUNTARILY LOWERS
CHARGES FOR SERVICE

nounces Reduced Rates in
Dead Mileage Zone"

On the eve OF the establishment by
the public utilities commission OF a
valuation for the Terminal TaxicAo
Company as q preliminary to the con-
sideration OF taxicab rates. this COM
pany today voluntarily reduced Its
charges for service in what is known
as the dead mileage" zone.
The action of the company means
cheaper service for it's patrons who at
tend functions in hotels and halls. the
navy yard and Washington barracks
and Fort Myer. The new schedule OF
charges becomes effective April |.
Old Rates and New.
For special round-trip service the
company heretofore has maintained the
following schedule: To the White

and Washington barracks. Sc: Chevy
Chase Club and Fort Myer. Va. 81.
The new rate to the Willard and
Raleigh. Linthicum and Odd Fellows
halls and the Cairo will be SO: navy
yard and Washington barracks, 81. and
Fort Myer, SIS.
No reduction ie made in tho White
House IS rate. because OF the time lost
by tsxicabs standing in line. nor in the
Chevy Chase 81 rate. because Of the
long haul to this point.
company Officials Explain.
In explaining the reductions ordered,
officials of the company today stated
that the present rates were considered
excessive for persons living close to
the designations affected and more
than fair for patrons on the outskirts
OF the dead mileage" zone. Effort was
made to strike balance between the
two extremes with the result shown
above. The new rates were compiled
after a study OF the company's busi-
ness in this zone during the past two
or three years.
The zone extends from seth and NJ
streets northwest to 35th and r streets,
TO Lovers Lane. to Massachusetts ave-
nue.. to 29th and Cathedral avenue. to

STREET Widening
VERDICT ANNULLED
Respondents in Colorado Ave.
nue. and Kennedy Street
Case Win.
JURY NOT INSTRUCTED
TO VALUE DELEGATIONS
United States Supreme Court Up
holds Reversal Decree of Dis.
trict Appeals Bench.

The Supreme Court OF the United
States today affirmed the judgment Of
the Court of Appeals OF the District OF
Columbia. which had reversed the de-
cision OF the Supreme Court OF the Dis
trict confirming the verdict of the jury
assessing damages for the widening Of
Colorado avenue and Kennedy street.
The case was that of District Com
missioner against the Lynchburg Con-
struction Company and the Holmes
Central Realty Company. Justice
Holmes delivered the opinion of the
court.
The first ground of reversal" said
the opinion. was that the notice of the
proceeding was insufficient. which, IL
true, will cast a cloud upon a great
number Of condemnations that have
been made heretofore. The District
Code provides that the court is to cause
public notice OF not less than twenty
days to be given of institution of such
proceeding in advertisement in three
daily newspapers published in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The order in this
case directed publication once IN the
Law Reporter and on six secular days
In The Evening star Washington
Herald and the Washington Post, com
mencing at least twenty days before
March ., 1912, the day fixed for hear
ing.
THE objection and the decision of
the Court Of Appeals was that the or
der did not follow the statute because
the statute requires that notices shall
be published in three daily papers for
at least twenty days. The respondents
are concerned only as parties assessed
for the betterment. AS such they could
not be mentioned by name in the notice.
since by the statute a jury decides
what land it benefited as well as the
sum in which it shall be charged. 1t
is necessary, OF course. that due precau-
tion should be taken to see that they
get notice in fact. In consideration 20
gether with the requirements that the
publication shall be in a daily paper
and its view OF the meaning OF the
words lead the Court Of Appeals to the
conclusion to which it came.

Editorial Comment

General Polivanoff, the Russian
Minister of War, characterizes as
senseless gossip the intimation that
the Allies are not helping Russia to
the best OF their ability. Such an an
nouncement would be expected
whether the statement is an express
sion of real sentiment or the contrary
but there is doubtless thorough I'M
derstanding among the Allies and
confidence in ultimate success. In
spite of their wonderful drive the
Teutonic armies have failed to ac-
complish the destruction of the Rus
sian forces or any material unit
thereof. just as they failed to destroy
the French military force in the first
rush upon Paris and now time is
fighting for the Allies. Experienced
military observers feel that the leu
tons and France cannot exceed their
present strength but England. Italy
and Russia have millions Yet to call
upon 1t is announced from Petro
grad that when the campaign opens
next spring Russia will have new
army of 100000 men, trained far
behind the fighting line. In numbers
the Teutons fall far behind and her
leaders must realize that every day
that now passes will make her nu-
merical inferiority more pronounced

We better let them go; save their sal
aries and relieve the over-burdened
taxpayer. of the expense of the thou
sands of dollars entailed by their sup
port. 1t is ridiculous, a farce, waste
of public money longer to keep up the
pretence. Four deputies under Davis
could do what four deputies did for
merly under Stevens. Are they doing
it? Decidedly not.
There is another element of social
and moral life in Lewiston, however,
in which the sheriff is not so intimately
concerned. That Is the non-enforce-
ment of laws against prostitution and
gambling. These affairs are supposed
to be in the keeping of the mayor and
his police force. What are they doing
about it? We believe that 1t is the
easiest thing in the world for Mayor
Brain to clean up this city Of the
shameful ard disgusting conditions
that exist. We believe that little more
than an edict is required-backed by
wholesome raids and prosecutions. We
believe that it is up to Mayor Brann to
put into the police force of Lewiston
a little clearer and better understa nding
of duty. We believe that the stories,
rife in Lewiston, of the obliquity Of
police officers to sights, scenes and con-
ditions in this city are matter of pro-
found Importance and compel one to
ask himself why it is thus. 1t cannot
be laid to the police force alone. They
are part of system. naturally, NOV
ing in accordance with definite policy
Whose is the policy? Why are
houses of prostitution Haunting their
shame and gambling resorts running
with hardly a pretence of secrecy
Have the citizens of Lewiston lost
their sense of moral values? or are
they making the mistake Of thinking
that this is not Lewiston, but Man
haitian?

The Cost Of Neglect.

For two successive years serveys OF
mineral resources in Alaska were de-
layed and prevented by neglect of the
Democrats.
Failure to pass the appropriations
for these surveys in time to equip the
experts from the Geological Survey
made the work impossible.
Reports from the chief Of the Alaska
mineral resources division furnish an
official account Of how his important
activity was hindered by tho negli-
sent delay of the Democratic House.
In 1912 the appropriation Cor the
continuation of the investigation OK
mineral resources of Alaska was not
made until August "a" says the admin
istrative report for that year. "As d
consequence of this delay but little
could be accomplished, and the projects
undertaken could be carried out only
at relatively heavy expenses.
only three parties out Of the L.
eventually dispatched to Alaska had
a full seasons field work. Several
other parties were dispatched under
temporary grants, but the funds we're
so inadequate that the parties were
underma aned and but poorly equipped.
Several important pieces of work had
to be abandoned"
Appropriation for tie same work was
delayed tie next year. The Official de-
scription OF the way This embarrassed
the Alaska surveys is even m IRE strik-
ing, the report declaring that Il caused
loss of % per cent in time, a heavy
money loss, and check in efficiency

The fact that the appropriation was
not made promptly says the 1913 De-
partment account. much curtailed the
and thereby greatly enhanced the

work. The loss in time, due to delay
in appropriation. amounted to an aver
age of one month. or % per cent, for
each of field parties.
"A careful estimate shows that the
actual monetary loss occasioned by the
delay-tfat is, expenditure for which
there was no return-was over per
cent of tie total appropriation There
was also a loss of efficiency brought
about by the delay of the field work
and consequent change of plans which
cannot be expressed in figures

Deficit Dealers Are Doomed,

Pooling the people isn't as easy as it
looks, as this National administration
is finding out. Manipulation of treas
ury balances hasn't fooled anyone to
noticeable extent. On June Il. 1915,
the reported treasury balance was
little over $4,000, 600. BY strenuous eff
forts at collection of income, and cor
poration taxes just before the close
of the fiscal year, June so. the net bal
ance on that date was Jumped IN TO
Ss2 900, 900 That this was a juggled
balance, everybody believed, though
the records Of "pitiless publicity" ad-
ministration did not supply absolute
proof Now, however, the net balance
has been dropping day by day until
the statement for August 20 showed
S56.547 900 Apparently it will go on
down to s26 100000 or lower.
But when the cautious American citi
zen takes a moment to analyze even
that s56,oOo,o00 balance, he finds there
has been another attempt to fool him.
The assets which go to make I'D that
net balance include nearly s47 ,OO0. 900
in National Bank Depositaries, 81, 600, coo
In the treasury in the Philippines and
s3S,o0o,oo0 of silver bullion, subsidiary
coin, etc. These items make a total of
So, 900 Of assets that no discreet adj
ministration would think of including
in working balance The last Repub-
lican administration did not so treat
them. This is shown by the treasury
statement for June 20, 1912, when the
working balance was almost $50, o0o,-
600. In addition to this. there was
s3e,0oo.o0o net in National Bank De-
positaries and in the Philippine treas
ury, and 3o5oo,o 900 in bullion and SUBJ
sidiary coin in the treasury offices.
making a total Of $3.50, 100000 in the
general fund.
Thus it appears that if this admins
tration were keeping it's books and
making it's statements in the form used
by Republicans. the working balance"
would be less than nothing. To cover
up its poor business management, this
administration has discontinued the
use of the term working balance"
Gut the prudent business man who has
skill enough to make a financial sue
cess OF any enterprise. however small
is taking the measure of the men who
manipulate the treasury statements.
Hence. the Safety First" policy is
coming back. The deficit dealers are
doomed

Germany apparently now proposes
to relieve herself from an en-
barrasing situation by permitting it
to be understood that the submarine
which sank the Arabic, causing the
loss Of two American lives and the
jeopardy of considerably larger
number, was destroyed before her
return to her German base. On this
point, of course, the American Gov
eminent must needs accept the
statment OF the German Govern
ment, since there is no possible way
Of proving the contrary. 1t is also
quite probable that the boat may
have been sunk. The point. how
ever, is quite inconsequential. If
Germany disavows the act and fur
nishes the desired assurances Of flu
ture conduct. that is all the United
