AT the foreign office the correspond

The main purpose of the imperial
chancellor's flying trip TO Berlin-a

role in German life. when public men
are widely scattered from Berlin. and

naturally wish to ascertain before

To Have County
Books Audited
COMMISSIONERS HIRE B. DEFENBACH
Max Trip To COeur dAIene To Settle Refund For
Void Delinquent Tax Certificates

The board of county commits
sioners was in session Thursday,
first as a board Of equalization
to finish equalizing the personal
property assessment, and after
this was finished, as county COM
missioners.
No protests were filed against
the personal property assess
ments and only a few claims for
exemption. The total amount
of personal property tax collect
ed was about $500 more this
year than last. Only about S75
If the total amount assessed re-
mains unpaid.
Henry Grace, an inmate Of the
poor farm, was furnished with
transportation to take him back
to his former home at Detroit,
Michigan. Grace is suffering
from tuberculosis. His mother
and sister, who reside in Detroit,
are anxious for him to come
there and agreed to provide for
his support but were unable to
pay the expenses of the trip and
the commissioners purchased
him ticket and sent him home
The commissioners decided to
have the books of all the county
officers audited and entered into
contract with Byron Defen-
baugh, an expert accountant Of
Lewiston, to audit them. The
audit will cover everything since
the organization of the county
and Mr. Defenbaugh is to be paid
S585.00 for doing the work. He
will start on the books shortly
after Christmas.
The commissioners, accom-
panied by Deputy County Auditor
Moon, left this morning for
Occur d'Alene to settle the mat
ter of refunds for void delinquent
tax certificates with Kootenai
county. When the settlement
was made between the counties
at the time of the division it
was agreed that each county was
to keep an account of the amount
paid as a refund for void delin-
gent tax certificates and that a
settlement of this should be made
OH the basis Of KoOtenai county
paying two-thirds and Benewah
county one-third of the tota
amount so paid.

Two Arrested
For BOOtIeSSinS
CITY POLICE ARE DOING GOOD WORK
Are EndeavOring To Put Stop TC Liquor Traffic
Six Arrests Within Week

The police officers are making
strenuous efforts to put a stop
to bootlegging in this city but are
finding it a hard task for the rea-
son that a great many of the
bootleggers have their cache for
liquor outside the city where the
police have no jurisdiction.
About the only way the officers
have to make a capture is to
watch all trains and seize the liq-
uor when it is being brought in
but even then a considerable
amount escapes them as some of
the bOotleggers leave the trains
when they slow down before
crossing the trestle east of the
Milwaukee Lumber company's
plant. In spite of their handi-
cap, however, the police are max
ing a number of arrests.
Tuesday evening Chief of Po-
lice Steele arrested George Krit-
ger, with two gallons Of alcohol
and a gallon of whiskey in his
possession. The arrest was
made at the Club rooming house,
near the depot. Steele was
watching No. II and saw Kritzer
set off with what appeared to be
very heavy suitcase. He crossed
the street and went into the
rooming house. Steele followed
him and upon searching found
the liquor and made the arrest.
Kritzer was taken before the
probate court Wednesday, where
he waived his preliminary ex-
animation and was put under
bonds for his appearance for trial
in the district court. He fur
nished the bonds and was re-
leased from custody.
About four o'clock Thursday
morning Officer J. X. Booth saw a
man walking on the railroad
track with what appeared to be an
exceedingly heavy suitcase. He
accOsted him and upon examina-
tion found a bottle of whiskey on
his person. The man was placed
under arrest and a search of the
suit case revealed p pint bottles
of whiskey. The man, whose
name is given as Mitchell Brown
will be held in the county jai
until the next term of court wher
he will be tried for having liquor
in his possession unlawfully.
This makes six bootlegger'
that have been arrested during
the last week.
