BOARD REDUCES
ASSESSMENTS
$29,0OO,OOO
Sraight Ten Per Cent. Reduction
Is Ordered by Equalization
Board.
MEANS 100000 SAVING
{ TO TAX PAYERS
Careful Handling of State Finan-
ces Makes Action
Possible.

In ordering fiat reduction of 10
per cent in the assessment of rail-
roads, farm lands and town and vii
lage lots, the state board Of equaliza-
ton yesterday effected a saving to
: the tax payers of from $250,000 to
100000. This means reduction in
the assessment of taxable property in
the state from 1888 100000 to 1884,.
100000.
Governor Hanna, Attorney General
Linde and Commissioner Flint took
the position that the reduction should
be made. The efficient handling of
the states business during the last
two years made possible this action.
1t has been customary to levy one
tenth of mill for the bond interest
fund and two.tenths of one mill for
the bond sinking fund. Owing to the
careful conservation of funds under
the present administration, there is
enough in the interest fund to meet
all demands Of the next two years.
Under the constitution, the tax levy
Is limited to four mills for state pur-
poses. ...
The action of the board was COM
mended generally and it was conced-
ed that the reduction of the tax load
will meet with general favor.
Within the next few days figures in
detail will be available covering all
classes Of property

POLICE PROTECTION
Of GOVERNOR
Hanna May Send Special Notice
to Sheriffs and City
Officials.
NO PERISHABLE GOODS
WILL BE RECEIVED
NO pER1sHABLE GOODS

Governor Hanna today received
telegram from officials Of the: Great
Northern asking him to direct the po.
lice forces of the state to protect the
property of the railroad and safeguard
the lives of passengers and men en-
gagged in the operation Of the road at
ter the strike is declared. 1t is sug-
gested that Governor Hanna send a
special notice to the sheriffs OF the
various counties and the police Of the
towns and villages asking that spe-
cial provision be made to afford pro-
lection after next Monday, when the
strike order becomes effective.
Form letters will be sent out to all
police officers of the state calling
their attention to the possible condi-
tions and urging that steps be taken
at once to protect train crews, passen-
gers and property.
Fear !. W. w. Demonstrations.
It is not thought that the trainmen
will engage in any violation of the
law, but it is feared that I. w. w.
members might start demonstrations.
Several of their organizers are in the
state and it is feared that when the
strike is called, they may start a
sympathetic demonstration.
Governor Hanna was forced to send
out letters several years ago when the
state was visited by large numbers Of
!. w. w. members.
All Roads Will Operate.
It is thought that all roads operat-
ing in North Dakota will attempt to
operate upon limited schedules. Men
retired upon pensions have been noti-
fed to report and it is thought that
other provision is being made to man
the trains.
In fear of the pending strike, a mum.
ber of the travelling statesmen who
make their headquarters here, are
preparing to return to the home Office.
There was an exodus last evening Of
the twenty-five or thirty paving ma
terial representatives who have been
here for the last week.
Orders were received today by w.
A. Mcdonald, agent of the Northern
Pacific, not to receive any perishable
articles or live stock for shipment.
This means the practical suspension
of large volume of business in this
city.

London, Aug. 29-Prospects of vic.
tory for the allies increase two.fold
by declaration of war by Rumania
against the central powers.
Such action means:
IAN army of $4,000, with an ad-
ditional 100000 availables, will be add
ed to the forces of the allies.
2-The barrier of $4,000 square
miles that has kept the Russians from
invading Austria Hungary by an eas.
Ter route than through the Carpath-
ians is down.
3-There is another possibility of
invasian by the allies from the south
into Austria Hungary.
! 4-The central powers are entirely
surrounded by enemies, except for the
short Dutch boundary.
5-Germany and Austria Hungary
are entirely cut off from their ally,
Turkey.
| 6-Rumania's action is regarded an
added argument for the intervention
OF Greece on the side of the allies.
BY Rumania's action, the allies will
add 600 cannons and 200 machine
guns to their equipment.
| The cOuntry's regular permanent
standing army, consisting of 5000 off,
GERS, 1000 militry students and 1OO,-
600 troops, with $4,000 horses, has al
ready been mobilized on Hungarian
and Bulgarian borders. These Ru-
mania can put Immediately into the
war.
Although Rumania borders the
Black Sea, where Russian and Turk
lsh navies are providing, the country
has no navy to speak of. The Rus
sian navy, therefore, will have to
guard not only it's own coast but that
of Rumania.
What kept Rumania neutral almost
three years was the oppositing atti.
tude of the ruler, King Ferdinand and
his people.
King Ferdinand, who succeeded his
uncle, King Charles, at the latter's
death, Oct. 10, 1914, comes from the
house of Hohenzollern-S -Sigmaringen,
which makes him a relative of the
kaiser.
While the ruler thought of friend
ship with his relatives, his people
thought of united Rumania, which
should include the 100000 Ruman-
ians in Pennsylvania, Bukovina and
Banat, territories in Austria Hungary.
Rumania makes the fifteenth ma
ton in the war.
Greece may enter any day, on the
side of the allies.
Greece has an army of 100000 and
soc, 900 availables.

fired back at States Attorney WI
liam LANCER, who caused his arrest
by charging that Mr.. LANCER had as
sisted in the organization of the club
known as the German Culture society
and that it had been used to further
his candidacy.
Mr.. Usselman said that he had beer
told by Mike Knoll, Gabe Eckrott

his permission to the sale of liquor
and that he had said that If any
complaints were made the club would
be warned, before any action would
be taken. a..s.
No Direct Evidence.
Mr., psselman admitted, however
that he had. no direct evidence that
the permission had been given and
that the club had never been notified
of any intended raids. NO attempt
was made by the defendants attorney
to place the chief of police or Eek.

ct were bound over to the district
court, while Eckroth and Usselman
we're released from custody because
it was shown that Usselman had re.
signed as secretary and that Eckroth
was only trustee and had nothing
to do with the management.
Couldn't Get More Drink.
Ehret was found to be president of
the organization, Mike Knoll treasur-
er, Gabe Eckroth a trustee and Au-
gust Usselman secretary. However,
Usselman had resigned and Nick
Boehm and A. v. Schallern and 9TH
ers had taken his place at various
times.
Testimony Of Chris Fleck provided
much amusement, for Attorneys ]. e..
Sullivan and L. H. Connolly, for the
defense, forced the states witness to
testify that he had brought action
against the officers of the club main
ly for the reason that he owed 1875
for drinks, and had been refused more
unless he paid the bill.
From testimony Of Steve Tekach
and others, it was evident that fur
ther friction found its way into the
Kulture society, as statements indi-

In commenting upon the attack of
Usselman, Mr.. LANCER said: There

A petition was circulated at once
to refer the bill to the people at this
election. The attorney generals Of
flee ruled that the signatures to the
petition were insufficient.
The court held, however, that until
the state had proved that the sigma.
lures were illegal or insufficient it
was the presumption of law that they
were legal.
The case may be carried to the su.
preme court.
