TEN BUILDINGS BURNED.
Soma Careless Smoker Believed to
Have Caused Fire in Williston.

WlLLISTON, Nov. l4-Ten build
ings on the farm Of Henry S. Brothers
were destroyed by fire Saturday after
noon at loss estimated at about $l2,-
000 Neither Mr.. Brothers nor his wife

her parents, who were coming to visit
her She arrived at 0 clock to find
their home in ruins
The fire was discovered by a farm
hand and help was soon at hand. The
Burlington department was appealed to,
nine men racing out here with the fire
truck. TheY succeeded in saving most
of the household furniture and sixty
head of cattle were saved. One hundred
tons of hay, 600 bushels of potatoes
and 500 worth of beans were de-
stroycd, together with all the farm ma
chinerv and tools.
The fire IS thought to have been
started by some one smoking in a barn.

The place, formerly known as the
Douglas farm, is just over the South
Burlington line. 1t has been owned by
Mr.. Brothers about eight years. The
loss is partially covered by insurance.

CAMiNETTI APPEAL
ATTACKS MANN ACT
Lawyer for the Defence Says The Law
Concerns Only the White
Slave Traffic.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l4.-Argumcnt
over whether the Mann white slave act
apphes to personal immoral escapades or
only to cases involving transportation OF
women tor commercial gain began yester-
day before the supreme court
he law itself has been upheld by the
court, but the question OF Interpretation
IS raised for the first time in appeals of
f Drew Caminetti and Maury |. Diggs of
Sacramento and L. T Hays of Alva. Okla.
all charged with transporting women in
violation OF the law, but with the elements,
OF commerciallsm and coercion absent.
The present administration of the de.
partment OF justice has brought prosecu.
tions in all cases of transportation of wo,
men for immoral purposes, whether for
commercial purposes or not.
Harry o. CHASER of counsel for the ap-
pollants insisted that the title of the white
slave act itself Indicated absence of intent
by congress to have the law applied to
cases of mere immortality He asserted
that fair Interpretation of the act was
that it was intended solely to stamp out
organized or unorganized traffic in women
for immoral purposes by prohibiting their
interstate transportation
Citing decisions Of the second, seventh
and ninth federal circuit courts, sustaining
the Interpretation given by the depart
ment Of Justice, Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Wallace argued that congress had
the power to prevent immortality by bar
ring transportation Of women for immoral
purposes, and that the Mann act should be
50 construed. The extent or degree Of i'm
morality should not be a factor, said Mr..
Wallace.
He referred to the case Of Jack John
son, the Negro pugilist, in which the de-
partments Interpretation had been stls-
tanned, though admitting that Judges of
lower federal courts had differed regard
ing the laws construction. He conceded
that Diggs, Caminetti and Hays were in
dicted for offences without elements OF
commercalsm.

GEN. SIR SAM HUGHES
is FORCED TO RESIGN
Canadian Minister of Militia Is TJnab1a
to Agree with the Borden
EaliI,ot
Cabinet.

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. l4.-Gen. Sir
Sam Hughes has resigned as Canadian
minister of militia and defense. His res
lgnatlon was requested.
The break between Gen Hughes and
Premier Borden and other members OF
the Canadian government resulted from
differences over questions of policy and
details OF administration. Since the be-
ginning OF the war there have been many
such differences on questions of military
management, but until recently. it is said.
they have been adjusted generally by al
lowing Gen Hughes to carry out his plans.
Lately the friction has increased and adj
Justments have grown more difficult 1t
IS understood the premier and the cabinet
have been growing more disposed to in
slst upon their own plans as against those
Of Gen. Hughes.
One of the points over which a differ
ence arose was the supplying Of the Cana
dian forces with the Brush army rife.
Gen. Hughes, il is reported, advocated. in
stead the use Of Canadian weapon.
Some time ago Gen. Hughes returned
from a three-months visit to England

with more than 100000 Canadian troons
IN the trenches in France or in training in
England there should be an overseas min
lister of militia. Gen. Hughes opposed this
as it would greatly deprive him of author
ity.
W hen the government insisted upon its
plan, II is reported, Gen Hughes suggest
ed that Sir Max Aitken should be appoint
ed to the new post Premier Borden,
however, appointed Sir George PerIey. al
though there is said to have been lack of
harmony between him and Gen Hughes.
This took from Gen. Hughes control of
a large part of the Canadian forces
While he was III England Gen Hughes
after investigating the Canadian army

Jones of the command. The government
replaced Gen Jones
Criticism by Gen. Hughes of action talk
en- by British authorities both in regard
to the handling of Canadian army supplies
and of the Canadian forces, it is said, has
been resented
1t has been stated that there was 4 lack
of cordiality between Gen. Hughes and

Canada after five years service as governor

HUNTING SEASON
OPENS TOMORROW
Continues from 5 a. m. I'm
til 5 %. m. to Dec. 5, Ex-
cept Sundays
DOES MAY NOT BE
TAKEN THIS YEAR
Only Wild Deer Having Horns Three
Inches Long May Be Shot Large
Number Of Licenses Issued at Town
Clerk 6 Office.

In spite of the fact that practically
all OF the old-timefs who put in a few
days or hours as necessity requires to
xiii 4 deer each year are planning to
get away today III order to be on hand
on their favorite hunting grounds TO-
morrow morning at ) o clock, when
the law Is eff bucks, there is no rush
for hunting licenses at the office of
the town clerk
Ordinarily there would have been a
waiting list yesterday and today of
men desigous of obtaining licenses, but
only Il licenses were issued all dav
yesterday and very few this morn
ing.
This IS accounted for by the large
number who took out combination
hunting and fishing licenses during the
year. \ total of 435 combination IL
censes were issued and up to this noon
. total Of 2J3 hunting licenses had
been issued, making about 700 resi-
dents of this section who are legally
qualified 70 shoot anything that is
not protected by law. In addition to
these licenses six nonresident hunting
licenses have been issued and 565
fishing licenses.
Men familiar with the haunts of
deer and who have done a little
looking around in the last two weeks
say that there are many deer tracks
and that there should be plenty of op-
portunity to oct . deer this season.
1t must be taken into consideration,
however, chat docs make tracks as
well as the bucks and does are pro-
tected this year, and only bucks with
horns three inches long may he shot
legally. This will reduce the number
of the animals thai will be brought
in from the large number killed last
year when the shooting Of does was
permitted.
The statute relating to shooting
deer, enacted by the legislature of
1915. reads as follows:
Wild deer having horns rot less
than three inches iii length may be
taken from November 18th to Decem-
Der 9Th after ) 4. M and before ; D.
m both dates inclusive. Sunday ex-
ce2ted; provided, however. that during
the opea season for 1915 any wild
deer except fawns may be taken.
