Preachers Of North Dakota Fail
to Fall for Capital Re-
moval Day.

Letters Sent Asking Ministers to

ford From Pulpits.

Ministers over the state are indig-
nant at the efforts of Edward Bur
ling, Methodist minister at New Rock
ford, to have day set aside in, the
churches devoted entirely to capital
removal.
Fargo, Grand Forks, Minot clergy
men and ministers in many other Cit
les have received a three-page letter
from Rev. Burling, asking them to
set aside a day Of prayer and preach
ing in the interests Of New Rock
ford.
AS far as the Tribune is apprised,
most of the ministers either replied
Indignantly or else refused fatty to
assist Rev. Burling in his efforts to
have the Methodist churches of the
state dragged into political fight.
The Tribune does not know wheth-
er ministers of any other denomina-
tions represented at New Rockford
were weak enough to allow them,
selves TO be used by the promoters OF
the capital removal fight.
Investigation shows, however, that
the movement started by Rev. Bur
ling is purely personal and does not
have the sanction OF the Methodist
church Several church leaders
have expressed intense regret that
Rev. Burling has used the cloth as a
stalking horse for the capital remov-
al venture.
New Rockford land spectators
knowing that they have no chance to
win this capital removal fight on
facts, have sought to enlist the moral
forces OF the state. especially the
prohibition workers III the Red River
valley. by blackening tho good name
OF the city OF Bismarck.
Tair.minded people over the state
resent the unfair tactics of New
Rockford in trying to inject the pro.
hibitiOn issue into this contest. Lead
ers of that movement are opposed to
having The cause of prohibition injur'
ed by allowing the New ROckford pro-
mOters to use them in extracting
their chcstnuts from the embers.

by those present. ''The New Rock

amusing features Of the evening, their
music being as much out Of tune as
New Rockfords fight for the Capital
is with public sentiment throughout
the state.
A. w. Eppinger's minstrel troupe
gave the merchants a half hour OF
real entertainment, featured by solos,
by Messrs. Reeves, Miller, Halvorson,
Humphreys and ArnOt, and recita-
tion by Mr.. Davies. Selections by the
Knights of Iythias quartet were loud
ly applauded, as were the instrument

The entertainment was wound up
with a burlesque boxing match, be-
tween Brooks "Willard' Hoskins and

Belongs to Germany.

Belongs to Germany.
Indications were given that the
state department will hold that the
prize belongs to Germany.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, in a formal note to Sec.
retary Lansing, gave notice that the
Appam came into Hampton Roads
under the treaty which guarantees
her to her captors. Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, the British ambassador, asked
that the ship be returned to her Brit
ish owners as prize recovered un-
der the Hague convention.
The Hague convention. under Ar
ticle q, provides for the internment
of the crew and the surrender Of the
ship, but state department officials
are doubtful that it can be applied
to the case Of the Appam; first, be-
cause the Prussian-American treaty
is believed to be binding, and second,
because Great Britain signed but
never ratified this particular Hague
convention.
May Return to Sea.
Until the status of the ship is de.
cided, she will remain in the custody
of Norfolk customs authorities, and
if turned over to Germany may be
kept in port, or sent to sea as the
German government chooses.
The state department. today re-
quested the customs authorities to
land all passengers and non-combat.
ants. Their case now goes to the
immigration authorities. Foreign con-
suls will care for their own national
ity, who are indignant. Those, who
can afford to do so, are free to 60 to
Europe; those, who wish to remain in
the United States, must comply with
the usual immigration regulations.
Passengers Well Treated.
Reports agree that all the passen-
gers were accorded the best treat
ment possible by the prize crew under
the circumstances.
Versions of the identity of the Ger
man raider which captured the Ap.
pam and other craft still differ.
Prince Hatfeldt Of the German en-
bassy at Washington asserts that she
is the German cruiser, Moewe, built
in 1913 or 1914 for the imperial navy.
All of the captured British skip
pers agree, however, that the raider
is converted merchantmen of about
5000 tons, named Ponga, probably
completed few months ago, mount
ing six masked guns of near six.inch
caliber and having two torpedo tubes.

constructed and report Its finding
at mass meeting to be held at
Bridgeport within the next ten days.
as a result Of mass meeting AT
Bridgeport Thursday. In the event
the committees report is accepted,
the county court will be asked TO au-
thori2e an election in the district on
a bond issue of 100000 for pernia-
nent roads.
A. d. Williams, state road en-
gineer, or representative of his Of
fee, and Guy NJ. Harbert, Harrison
county's road engineer. were named
as an advisory committee to advise
with the ten committeeman In Slmp-
son district. They will go over the
whole district. map it out, study the
problems, and help make out the re-
port that will be submitted at the
next called mass meeting.
Here is the proposition, as brought
out at Thursdays meeting. The law
only allows five per cent on the tax
unle valuation of the property In the
district to be bonded. Simpson dis
trict's taxable valuation is S4,-75O.-
600. or this the municipality OF
Bridgeport has a taxable valuation OF
1000, 900, the other $3.75O,OOO Is
in the country districts. Bridgeport
already has bonded Indebtedness of
s34,5OO in water works and school
bonds. and as independent corpora
tions cannot be bonded for but some
thing like $4,000 and keep within
the five per cent limit on its taxable
valuation for bond issues. The town
is ready to spend more money for
roads, representative citizens say, but
they can only do so by having the
bond submitted as unit in the whole
district, and approved or disapproved
by the voters.
One who figured 1t closely at the
meeting stated that it would not only
be possible to bond the district
for s2O3,0OO-'that is the limit set
now" he said. Eve are asking for
a $500, 900 bond issue"
Counting the votes in the district,
at the last election in the municipal
ity of Bridgeport, just 1873 votes were
cast and the year before that ~.

town. In the country districts the
votes cast at previous elections run
