TO HOLD CONFERENCE

Indications Are That Final Set.
Element of Lusitania Case
Is at Hand.

Washington, Feb. 7.-President Will
son will take up with his cabinet to-
morrow the latest communication,
which Germany hopes will bring the
negotiations over the Lusitania disas-
ter to termination satisfactorily to
the United States.
Official indication or announcement
whether the offer of the Berlin gov
eminent is satisfactory is expected
soon thereafter.
The president did not request Sec
rotary Lansing to come to the White
House today for conference and the
conference planned did not material

The secretary expects to discuss
the latest proposals with the presi.
dent tomorrow, and it is believed in
Teutonic diplomatic circles that
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, may be summoned to the
state department sometime during the
afternoon and informed of the deci-
sion Of the United States.
Confidential advices received today
from high official quarters are to the
effect that the expressions of Opt.
mism regarding the outcome of the
negotiations which have been heard
in certain official and diplomatic
circles are not without foundation.
Chairman Stone of the senate foreign
,relations committee declared, after
comforting with administration Off
glcials, that he believes the case was
practically settled"

THOSE PILGRIM MOTHERS.

Hamlin Garland, the author, sug'
gests that the Pilgrim Fathers ought
to have spent more time going fish
ing and less in psalm.singing. Then
they wouldn't have died off SO fast
and the, country wouldn't be obliged
now to get along with only million
Mayaower descendants
But If he looks into the genealogic
al records little more closely, he'll
find that it wasn't the Pilgrim Fathers
who died off so fast. 1t was the Pill
grim Mothers. who broke down under
the strain Of pioneer housekeeping
combined with bearing and rearing
families of pioneer proportions. And

LITTLE MURDERERS.

In one day recently eastern news
reports carried these three stories:
A seven-year-old boy in New York
City found a .3S caliber revolver in
his fathers desk, started playing with
it, and shot his little brother through
the right temple, killing him instant
ly. 81 didn't know what would, hap.
pen when l pulled the trigger,"she
said. ~ ~-,,
IA citizen of gcehttRtlie .bJ.s start
ing on hunting trip, left his loaded
shotgun leaning, against the fence for
a minute while he went back~into- the
house. His twelve-year-old son pick.
ed up the gun, pointed it playfully at
his eleven-year.old brother and pulled
the trigger, and the brother dropped
dead.
A nine.year-old boy in Hartford,
Conn, got hold of his fathers revol.
yer and began playing burglar with
his little sister, aged five. He didn't
know the revolver was loaded. When
the play-burglar ordered the little girl
to throw up her hands. she laughed
and refused. He pulled the trigger,
with the muzzle close to her head.
The weapon was loaded only with
blank cartridges, but the conclusion
killed her instantly.
All these little merderers were
irresponsible. All the deaths were
due to dangerous weapons being left
where they could get hold of them.
EVERY man with children who leaves
a loaded gun or revolver around the
house runs the same risk.
It may be desirable to be ready to
defend ones home against burglars.
but there are worse things than bur.
glary.

REFUSE TO HONOR
BILL FOR PRINTING

County Treasurer Prater yesterday
refused to honor a warrant for county
printing done by local concern.
amounting to $44.99, the right of the
concern to do county printing being
legally contested. States Attorney
Berndt has restraining order ready
to prevent the payment of bills pre-.
scented by the local company, until
the legality of their contract with the
county is determined.
In his injunction petition, the
states attorney holds that the con-
tract is void, on the grounds that the
affidavit required to be filed with the
county auditor was not filed accord
ing to law, but, instead, was filed with
the chairman of the board of county
commissioners.
The injunction is returnable Febru-
airy IL, before Judge w. L. Nuessle OF

LIFE STORY Of. THE
ARTIST 81 Bud I'D FISHER

The creator of Mutt and Jeff,
the greatest comic of them all, which

SO Mr.. Fisher began to sketch his
career, which has led him to the po
sition where he is recognized as be.

creators of comics-a position which
has forced upon him fortune
through his ability to make folks
laugh at ideas incubated in his fer.

'How did you happen to start to

"As long as I remember tried to

dispute in the family. Ny father was

me in it. Perhaps my father object

Even yet, Mr.. Fisher is bundle of
nerves and is constantly thinking of
new situations in which to place Mutt
and Jeff in order to make folks laugh.
While sitting at dinner. he has his
pencil out making sketches on the ia.
blecloth and he is not popular with
restaurant proprietors. In this way
he is planning picture and thinking
out the. scenes-his hardest job, not
the actual drawing.

PREPAREDNESS At ANNAPOLIS

FnSVAn6ONcoS ~ NN>HVOG'o'
The nation is driven to wonder,
somtimes, Just how much real patri-
otism there 10 in our great naval
academy at Annapolis.
There are various kinds of patriot
ism. The most vaunte6stype is that
which impels soldier or sailor to
give his life for his county. even
when he may feel that his individual
sacrifice will be useless. Nobody sns,
poets the students at Annapolis OF
lacking that kind Of patriotism. All
Americans have it.
But dying isn't the primary duty
Of sailor. His duty is his days
work, whether it's firing gun or nav
igating a battleship, or holystoning a
deck, or studying a book. And there's
Just as much patriotism in minding
his job in time of peace as in the
midst of battle.
It looks as if our embryo gunners
and admirals at Annapolis don't quite
grasp that kind Of patriotism. Last
year there was big scandal because
lot of them were caught cheating
in their examinations and discredit-
ing their own "honor system" Now
it appears that one-fourth Of the mid
shipmen in the academy-more than
200 young men-have failed in their
examinations and are in danger of be-
ing dropped.
1t may be that the examinations
are needlessly severe, but the safer
presumption is that the middies SIM
ply haven't worked cOnscientiously
If that is true, every man Of them
should feel as much ashamed in the
eyes Of the nation that picks him out
and pays his expenses and trains and
educates him, as if he had played the
coward in battle or committed some
fragrant act of moral turpitude.
We need all those midshipmen.
The navy is gaping with vacant posi-
tons. Some of our warships are vir-
tually out of commission for lack of
officers, and it takes ten years, Admit

piled the Hon. James Bertram, secre'
tary of the Carnegie Corporation OF
New York Last week Bismarck's
claims were brought before the trus-
tees of the Carnegie Corporation, and
their verdict is presented in the let
| ter to Mr.. Lucas, quoted above.
Library Is Needed.
That the need Of public library
is generally felt in Bismarck is prov
en- by the interest which has been
shown in the temporary library estab'
lished in the Commercial club rooms.
The shook shower" given by the
Civic league earlier in the winter and
the canvass which it's members made
last week produced from Bismarck
homes 116S books for the public libra.
ry and reading room, and 40 or more
of the 40 homes which responded to
the canvass are yet to be called upon
by the collectors. This unanimous re.
spouse, which includes every section
of the city, and which will become
even more general, as the needs of
the library become known, is regard,
ed as certain evidence Of a universal
appreciation of the benefits which" al
public library will confer upon the
capital city.
More Than 5000 Volumes.
1t is estimated that when the libra.
ry is formally opened, February %,
there will be more than 5000 volumes
ready for distribution. Everything
to date has been donated. The books
have not cost a penny in addition to!
the time contributed by the ladies
in making the canvass and the car
owners who did the collecting. The
humber for the shelving was contrib
uted by the Carpenter Lumber COM
pany, the labor on the shelving by
G. w. Jennings, the racks, files and
other equipment by the local carpen-
tiers union, the finishing by Chris
Engen, the paints and oils by the
Marshall Oil company, the listing and
cataloguing will be supervised by
Mrs. Minnie C. 'Budl0ng, state librari-
an. Only popular cause could have
called forth this general support.
With ordinary success, the circula-
ton of the Bismarck public library
should have swelled to at least 5000
before the new building can be made
ready for occupancy. For even larger
Libraries than Bismarck's will be,
serving a greater 2 q population, and
with several years accumulations to
draw from, 5000 is regarded as an
excellent circulation. "st
/. Will Be Banner Year.
The addition of a $4,000 library
building to all of the other substan.
tial structures already planned for
Bismarck, will make 1916 real ban
ner year.
The completion Of the Carnegie IL
brary will give to Bismarck the most
notable and attractive group of NUM-.
cipal buildings in the state and will
offer the best possible answer to any
argument which may be presented to
the effect that the capital city is in
any way lacking in enterprise and
prOgressiveness.

field in Philadelphia in 1902, and so
he had acquired some claim to fame
even before Mutt and Jeff were born.
Bud also played on the football team
at Hyde Park high school, where he
showed a lot of speed and splendid
ability in spite of the fact that he
weighed only 12o pounds.
He continued to. pursue his educa-
ton in Chicago university in 1903 and
1904, but he did not remain through
either year, being too busy drawing.
His father still refused to weaken in
his belief that Eud should follow
some other profession besides art,
even though by this time he had stop
ped using clean collars on which to
express his ideas.
you never get anywhere in that
business declared Mr.. Fisher ST..
But his mother still encouraged
Bud. Because Of the disagreement as
to the future Of their son, Bud never
had drawing lesson in his life.
After leaving college he went back
to San Francisco and there earned
his first money with his pencil. Tom
Dillon, the hat man of that western
city, wanted some pictures to put in
his show window, and he stipulated
that the characters must wear his
hats. Mr. Fisher drew these at the
rate of 50 cents apiece and appended
as caption to them some such catch
line as:
meet a man who knows hats face
to face
These were pasted to the show win
dows. and stared out at prospective
customers.

which in newspaper parlance are
