Jail Filling Up

There is now seven prisoners
in the County Jail of Bayfield,
county. all of them coming from
the two remaining wet towns,
Bayfield, and Iron River. This
seems to bear out the claim of
the "drys" that the expense of
taking care of prisoners more
than makes up the license money
paid by the saloons.

GERMANS ADVISED 10
 OBSERVE TIE LAWS
COUNT VON BERNSTORFF DELiV FRS MESSAGE RECEIVED
 FROM BERLIN.

Washington. = Germany through Count von Bernstorff, has instructed all German consuls in the United States 10 admonish German ciuzens in their districts to scrupulously oO' serve American laws. This was done in an effort to end various alleged v1o' lations Of American neutrality.
 The ambassador acted on instruc- tions from the Berlin Foreign Office. The action was announced in this of ficial statement from the German em- bassy:
 "In consequence of cases which have occurred of late the German ann bassador has sent instruction to all German consults in the United States to strongly impress upon German citi- zens living in their districts that it IS their duty scrupulously to obey the laws of the state in which they re- side.''
 It was said at the German embassy that the instructions were designed to prevent plots or laWIessness on the part of the German citizens who .miest he aispos9d to engage 3n- such. The German government, it was said locks with great disfavor upon an. such conduct and desires that the. shall not engage in any undertaking in any way outside the law.
 It was not disclosed whether spec l fic cases have been brOuoht to the al tention of the German government but it was made clear that Berlin ot ficials want the United States and it people to understand that they hay not countenanced any illegal affair thlzers in this country have bee connected.

Banks Make Chances.

Forty state banks have been forced to file amendments to their articles of incorporation with the State Bank De. partment since January 1, because ot strict rules adopted by the department State Bank Commissioner John M. Da wis said. The new rule requires that all banks follow precisely their articles of incorporation. If their incorpora ton papers call for Board of Direc- tors of 10 members they must have that many. The minimum number Of directors is three. MT Davis ruled that if the banks do not have the direc- tors named, they must amend their in corporation papers. Many other banks have amended their charters because of another ruling which prohibits banks, having a capital stock of less than $2o,000, using the title trust company"
 We are trying to get the banks or- ganized on 9 uniform and business like basis Mr Davis said. "The rul- ing regarding directors was made to insure against one.man banks. It has been customary for banks to provide fer a Board of Directors in their char ters and then to allow enc man to run the bank. We are doing all we can to elemiHate such practices.'

 II was learned that efforts will be made by friends of Gov Major of Mis- souri to secure indorsement of Gov. Major for vice president. but so far as can be learned Vice President Mar shall seems to be the choice by the majority Of the delegates. Fhe vice presidential candidate was left off the ticket used in tbe recent Democratic primary. President Wilson received nearly every vote boiled for renomina- tion. Aside from selecting presl- dential electors, alternate delegates to the national convention, selecting the state central committee and adopting 8 platform, the state convention will have but little work to do, because all of the state officers were selected In the primaries held March 29.
 The convention will be in session two days. and will be held in the muni- cipal auditorium adjoining the city hall on Markham street.

CaraWaY Measure Fails.

Washington.-Con Cara ways amendment to the Glass rural credits bill was defeated. MT. Cara way addressed the house in support of his amendment, which was virtually a substitute for the Glass measure He urged that his bill, while it advanced no government money to the system. guaranteed the payment of both prin- cipal and interest and placed the gov. ernment in the same attitude toward the farmer through the rural credits banks, as it now stands to the bank, CTS through the regional banks.
