 After he entered the house, ac- cording to Estes story, he pulled off his coat and vest, when another negro woman picked them up and ran out at the back door. He says he had his money in the coat pocket, and when he saw the woman make her exit with his cash, he followed her. After short chase he gained on her so closely that she threw his coat and vest down but continued to run un- til she entered house near by.
 When he searched his pockets, Es- tes found that his money was gone, and he called on the police for help to recover it.

foreign Latons. The facts set forth and the details following may be safe to express the administration view of the situation as affecting prospects for peace.
 May Be Denial.
 In official circles it is felt that the increasing and apparently authorita- tive 1Umors that the United States is planning some move for peace will de- slroy chances of peace and no mat ter what their origin, defea. the1r own ends. The misunderstanding has be- come so serious that an official de- n'al has been contemplated, probably through tl,e State Department. f Two facts stand out in the minds of the officials
 First, that many such proposals orig mate in German circles
 Second, that their repetition has been driving allied statesmen to an ex- tremity of refutation from which it "ooAN bS 'Ciy dSSluS TOT them to recede.
 Advantage With Germany.
 Without in any way passing on the outcome of the war, it is felt here that Germany has largely achieved her obiectives and that she is In a posi- tion to treat on the basis of her pres ent gains without subjecting herself to the inevitable losses of men and money caused by further hostilities. The allies have shown that they are unalterably opposed to peace now. They have left not the least doubt that they would regard meGiation at this time as unfriendly. It is firmly believed here in official circles that such an attempt by this government would subject the United States to the charge of partisan interference in the war.

TEUTON DRIVE STOPPED
Rumanians Said to Have Made Suc-
 cessfuI Stand in Wallachia.

fi. Eun.ania, the Teutons, says Der lin, are still making progress against t..e Evnanians in eastern Wallachia.' Patrograd says, however that the Ru- r1anians northeast of Bucharest, along the road running from Pleschi to Blu zen, have turned on the offensive and have driven the Austro-Germans back westward North. along the Transyl- vania-Rumanian frontie Petrograd re- ports progress for the Russian troops and Berlin admits the capture by the Russians of height south of the Tro- tus valley. A move by the Bulgarians which may prove a menace to the Ru- arrest, is reported by Berlin. This is the crossing of the Danube between Silistria anGi Cernavoda southeast and east of Bucharest. If it was made in large force, seemingly an impeachment will be placed in the way of the re- tirement of the i,umaniaas and possi bly some of them may be caught be- tween the Austro-Germans moving east and the Bulgarians driving north across their line of retreat. Berlin re- ports say that the Rumanians have lost approximately 112,000 men made prisoner since Rumania's entry into the war and suffered casualties esti- mated at about 3OO,OOO.
 Aside from a German attack in the Vosges region, near Col Saint Marie, which was repulsed by the French, and the recapture by the Germans of a sap in Champaigne which the French had entered after it's evacuation, only bom- bardments and minor engagements have taken place along the line in France and Belgium.
 Berlin reports the repulse by the Teutons of heavy attack by the en- tente troops north and east of Mon astir. Serbia, while Paris reports the capture by the British south of Seres, Greece, of Turkish positions.

DIR. BLEDSOE
 LOSES IN COURT
The Board of Control Wins Fight to Dust Superintendent of the State Hospital; Dr. Arkebauer Gets
 the Keys to Institution.

I ing the petition for rehearing filed by attorneys for Dr. E. P. Bledsoe, super intendent of the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases, the Supreme Court yesterday definitely closed the contro- versy between the State Board of Con- trol and Dr.. Bledsoe in favor of the board.
 Dr. c. Arkebauer, who had been ap- pointed temporary superintendent of the institution by the board early in the row, and whose appointment was enjoined in the Pulaski Circuit Court, automatically became head of the hos pital pending the boards appointment of permanent superintendent.
 Neither Dr. R. F. Darnell, assistant superintendent under Dr. Bledsoe, and Dr. Pat Murphy, two members of the staff, whom Dr. Bledsoe's refusal to discharge, brought him into disfavor with the board, are affected by the Supreme courts action directly, but pr. Darnell announced last night that he will resign today, effective Dec. ember IS, and Dr. Murphy may follow suit.
 1 Dr. Bledsoe has turned over the keys of the institution to Dr. ArKeDaueer but will remain at the institution 6 few days longer in order 60 close up his personal affairs, and it is probable that the board will take no steps to- wards the selection of another superin- tendent until pr. Bledsoe leaves the hospital pr. J. l.. Greene of Hot Springs and pr. H C. Stinson are men, i toned in connection with the place, as well as pr. Arkebauer. Both are for mer superintendents of the hospital pr. Greene resigned following a con- trcversy with the ole board two years ago, and Dr. Stinson served during the administration of the lasc Govcrno: Jeff Davis
 WrangIe Began in Spring.
 Dr. Bledsoe's difficulty With the board began in the spring, when he re- fused to discharge Drs. Ea-cen ana Murphy, and some of the minor em- ployes at the request of the board Dr. Bledsoe also refused to approve me> selected by the board for the positions held by Drs Darnell and Murphy and l he was tried by the board on various charges, and resolution declaring his Otiioe vacant was adopted.
 pr. Bledsoe then brought the matter before the Pulaski Circuit Court, Judge Guy Folks division, which restrained the board from removing him. The board appealed to the Supreme Court and in November the court handed down it's decision sustaining the board. Justices Hart and Wood dissenting. At torneys for Dr. Bledsoe then asked a rehearing which was yesterday over ruled.

Expect Orders From War Depart
ment 10 Move Within
Week.

Fort Lincoln, N. d., July-(Spl.)-
North Dakotans more than 900 in
number, are eagerly looking forward
TO the next move Of the war depart
mcnt and nrc ready to take their de-
parturc for the front as soon as or
dcrs are received An order to move
IS expected within the week.
New recruits have been pouring in
tc the concentration camp all week.
Recruiting officers stationed in vari-
Gus cities Of the state have been or
dered to report here for duty. After
they reach the fort it is expected that
some final action will follow.
With hardly an exception, the boys
are IN fine fcttlc and are rapidly be-
my turned into splendid soldiers. They
are becoming hard as nails and brown
ns berries
Many Visitors ut Camp.
The appearance of the entire regi-
mcnt in review on the parade grounds
Is an inspiring sight. Hundreds of
spectators from all parts of the state,
men, women and children, are daily
visiting the camp and finding out
what real army life is like.
North Dakota will send one of the
finest regiments into the field if the
need arises, is the opinion of Cover
nor l.. b. Hanna after reviewing the
troops. He proudly expressed his
pleasure at the magnificent spectacle.
Rapidly Being Equipped.
Most of the companies have receiv-
ed complete equipment and others are
fast being fitted out The men are
.. going at the work with will and with
grim determination to do their best.
North Dakota will sure be heard
rom when we go down to the border"
is the generally expressed opinion of
the various companies.
The hard daily grind in the field is
making real men out of all of the
North Dahotans and the "chuck"
though plain, is eaten with relish.
Not All Hard Work.
1t isn't all hard work for the boys,
however, as Uncle Sam has firmly
demonstrated that he is a firm bclicv-
cr in the old saying, "All work and no
play makes Jack dull boy"
Each evening concerts are given by
the rcgimcntal band, and the boys
amusc themselves in many other ways
Hundreds of the soldiers get leave af-
ter the day to visit Bismarck and
the state capital every evening takes
on the appearance of city at the
front

of the guardsmen is tossing "rookies"

started when Strasburg and Hazclton
led oil, the former winning in close
fight. The final score was 2 to /.
Strasburg's pitcher did good work and
held the Eiazclton lads down all
through the contest. Bert Thompson
did the twirling for his team and did
fine work If he had been properly
supported by the team mates he
should have won the game. Taylor,
playing left field was the worst Of
fender and persisted on playing too
close. What should have been put
outs went for safe hits and thus the
game was lost, Early in the game
Taylor and Kentfcld collidcd while
going after foul fly, and kentticd
got the worst Of it. His leg was in
jured and he was forced to rcstirc
from the game
After dinner Hcrrcd and StrasburR
were the contcndcrs and lcrrcid won
listicss game Young Mike Baum
gartncr pitched for Strasburg and got
away with it very nicely. His team
mates booted the ball continuously
and thus lost the game Klein ut
first and Pcrsch were the worst Of
tenders and Klein was ynnkcd in the
middle of the contest.
The third and final game was be
tween Ilcrrcid and Linton. Hcrrcid
won by a four to-thrce score. Bad
management was responsible for this
loss, Hamilton being sent to the
mound in poor condition and being
kept there all the way. He was
wild and walked men repeatedly in the
first couple of innings A couple Of
bad errors helped the thing along and
Hcrrcd drew two scores in the sec
ond. one in the third and one in the
fourth. Linton scored twice 'in the
first frame on n couple of errors and a
couple of scnrifce flies In the eighth
inning, with the score four and three,
1t looked like Linton was about to tie
the score. Hamilton was on third
and Kohl to bat and one down. 1t was
just the ideal arrangement for kolrs
famous squeeze play. He passed up
the first strike and attempted to lay
one down on the second. 1t was n
"spittcr" and Kohl bumped it into the
air. Hcrrcid's pitcher caught the fly
and doubled Hamilton In the ninth
there was nothing doing and Hcrrcid
had the game tucked away.
Next Sunday the three remaining
games will be played. Hcrrcid meets
Hazclton, Linton takes on Strasburg
and Hazelton. The three games will
be played in the one day.

is no question about any of the re-
suits except in the case of Wagner for
clerk of the district court. The GER

it will take n recount in the district

There is striking feature in the
relative vote for register of deeds and
for states attorney Cell, for regis

RAY FOR OLD ENGLANDi
N1ckalls Says Harvard Beat Him With
 His Own Methods.

New Haven, July 7-In an inter- view published yesterday Guy Nick alls, the Yale rowing coach. comedies that his varsity crew was beaten by g stronger Harvard eight at New Ilon- don recently, but he planes the de- feat of his freshmen on the poor pa- trolling of the course. Speaking of the varsity race Nfckalls says:
 Tn the varsity race Yale was fair ly and sQuarely beaten by superior Harvard crew. If 1t had not been for the Yalie coxswain running his crew on the flag post Yale would have beaten the record. But it was no dis grace to be beaten by Harvard, and congratulations are due Mr. Herrick.
 Like all American coaches who have visited England he profited bv the lessons learned there. He length ened out his stroke, gave them more catch and was ably assisted in his work by Bill Haines. My old friend Bill Hatnes of old England trained me in my young days, and he knows 8. thing or two Tn trying to beat liar ward we are up against almost the same system that we Have initiated so successfully, and the toughest pro- position in the whole of America"

JacksOn'S Rush.

Joe Jackson last season dropped to 1908. This season for a month he was around .250. The Human Eye Is always focused upon any one who starts to slip But the Batting Eye, once established, isn't easy to dis lodge Since the middle of May Jack son has been hitting the ball harder than any man in the game. He has come from .25O to .375 in two months, which has called for a streak better than a 400 average.
 Jackson will be twenty-nine years cid on the 9th of this month. He started with Greenville in the Caro- lima Association eight years ago, his debut mark being .346. He has never been under 300 since and has only been below 1850 twice. As for 1916, Cobb and Speaker will need all they can carry to beat him out

The White SOx Outlook.

If Chicago's American league entry can get safely by thiss Eastern trip without being badly dumped it has first class chance to give the Old Roman his first flag in ten years since 1906.
 The White Sox have the punch, the pitching and the speed They were away to a moth-eaten start through cratic pitching and the light batting of Collins, Fournier and, for a time, Joe Jackson. But the wallop is now beginning to pop out again, and for the last month the Sox, with the Tanks, have been playing the fastest Lali in the league
 The American league has been so closely punched most of the year that no one can forecast any winner now without launching a pOp-eyed guess. Cleveland's play has been more con- sistent; Detroit has shown the best winning streak; New York and Chicago are now playing the best ball. There is every reason to believe now that at least five clubs in this circuit will still be in the race up to the last week or two.
 If Jack Dillon is ever matched with Jess Willard, those who promote this bout are the ones that the circus should grab.

 May 8 to June 2-Won 19 and lost 2; percentage, .905.
