Say U. s. Cannot
 Make Retaliation

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. After an intense study of the retaliatory congressional legislation against foreign nations it has been discovered that some parts of the legislation are unenforceable, that other parts are doubtful and that other parts are so dangerous that they spell admmis- trative difficulties in the future. This is the legislation which was passed to- wards the end of the session to refuse clearance to ships which refuse to take goods from firms that were plac- ed on the blacklist by allied countries. Foreign representatives say that the refusal to give such clearance is reallya discrimination against Ameri- can goods. Lansing refuses to talk but there is feeling that the legisla- tion will be nullifed if the administra- tion can do so.

SALE OF
 LOTS GOES ON
SUPERINTENDENT OF SALES WANTS T OSELL NO LOTS
 FOR SPECULATION.

The third sale of lots by the land department took place this afternoon in the south ground floor room of the railroad building. Superintendent of Sales Christensen told those prescn; before the sales that the intention was to sell lots as cheaply as possi- ble to those who wanted home sites and not to those who wanted them for speculation. When the people present were bidding for others they were asked to give the names of those for whom they were bidding and when the request for lot was seen to be a bona Gde request for a site on which to build there was no bid&ng really and the lot was knocked down.
 Following are the lots sold this af- ternoon:
 Nels Gordon, $25; Henry Rasmus- sen, $25; Andrew A. Mcdonnell, $25; Maudie Madison, $25; Margaret Brad shaw, $25; Andrew F. Rasmussen, $25; James Mcconnell, $25; Fergus S. CrOugh, $25; Chas.

VIII TlRFS AND ACKALS BATTLE FOR HUMAN BODIES
Body of (. LOdjG
 Comes To Surface

Four weeks ago tonight Carl Lodje fell from the dock to his death and this morning the body came to the surface and was seen and picked up on the very spot where it must have disappeared beneath the surface of the water. Just before eight o'clock this morning Tom Hausen and C.. Johnson saw the body drifting be- tween the piles of the dock and inn mediately secured a boat and rowed out Towing it with a rope they brought it to the beach where with the help of Chief of Police Robert Guest it was brought ashore. The ap- pcarance of the remains was simply frightful-too frightful even to be spoken of. When a search was made in the presence of Coroner Woolley, Deputy Marshal Evans and the chief of police the sum of $192.5O was found in a shirt pocket. His watch was al- so in place and these facts indicated that any doubt about the death be- ing accidental had little foundation. Owing to the horribly decomposed condition of the head it is doubtful if an examination, anyhow, could prove violence unless the skull had been broken, and that the skull was not broken is made certain by the fact that he cried out when he fell from the dock. The body was taken t) the city hall to await .he inQues; at 2 ?. m.
 After Dr. Sloan had examined the body and given evidence And after the jury viewed the remains the verdict of accidentally drowned was brought in. The jury was composed o. Frank C,nnclly, Tom Towle, George Phelps, George Madsen, Charley Stromm and Gus ArentSen.

FOURTEEN MILLS
 IS THE TAX LEVY

The city council last night fixed the tax levy for the present year at l4 mills. Councilman Sauers moved for that tax but Councilman Chamberlain moved l5 mills as an amendment In the voting on the amendment Cham berlain and Torey were for it aud>al the others against but in the voting cn the original motion the vote was unanimous.
 It vas decided to purchase five acres of the Johnston homestead at price not to exceed $500. A petition to improve railroad avenue from First to Sixth out of the general fund was referred to a committee. The council men did not seem favorable.
 The most interesting work done was  when the council instructed the clerk to draw a warrant for $i i,3OL5O to pay half the amount for the installation of the new lighting system to the Sew ard Electric company, so insuring the city it's brilliant lighting for the winter.
 As the city is paying for twenty hydrantS and has only eighteen 1t was decided to place a new hydrant as First ave. near the Cliff addition and another at Third ave, in the Laubner addition.

BLACKMAILERS TO BE
 TRIED ON ONE CHARGE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. - Chief Belash has decided to concentrate the prosecution of the blackmailers on one charge, that of robbing Mrs. Regina Ripper. By securing verdict in this ease, he says, the blackmailers can be given a severe sentence whiie it will obviate the necessity of expos ing other victims of the gang. The trials will take place in the New York federal courts. The police now believe they have rounded up the chief mem pers of the gang.
