Leo Angus Brings
Habeas Corpus Suit
Against Sheriff

Leo Angus, one of the boy ban
dts" convicted in connection with the
murder of Nels Lausten some years
ago, and who, after his pardon from
the state penitentiary, was recently
arrested and acquitted on another
murder charge growing out OF a
shooting scrape, has brought habeas
corpus proceedings against Sheriff F.
]. McShane and Jailor Schroeder.
Angus claims he is confined illegal
ly in the county jail, where he is now
serving a ninety-day sentence on =
vagrancy charge. -,
Angus attacks the validity Of the
information against him, claiming
that the information was signed with
rubber stamp, and further alleges
that Police Judge Charles Foster
changed the charge from vagrancy to
that of carrying concealed weapons
when the commitment was made.

GEN. CARRANZAT0 RUN BANK
viii Start Bank in Mexico city;-Also
Will Suppress other Banks
Which Affect His
Enterprise.

Washington.-News was received
through diplomatic channels that
General Carranza proposes TO run a
bank of mis- own in Mexico City and
TO suppress or obstruct banking in
situations which affect his enterprise.
Carranza recently issued a decree the
exact terms of which are not known.
II was regarded by British and French
governments as an attack on banks
conducted by citizens of those coun-
tries in Mexico City. One of these is
the Bank of London and Mexico and
the other the French band or Banco
Macdonald.
Diplomats say the decree. IL carried
ont, simply would abolish the English
bank and the French bank. II is sail
the French and English governments
protested vigorously against Carran-
za's decree, and when no satisfaction
could be had II. X. Hohler the British
charge in Mexiso City, left for Wash
ington to lay the matter before the
state department and the British EN-
bassy. Carranza, il is said, promptly
suspended his decree as affecting
these two banks, but members of the
diplomatic corps believe the suspen.
sion is only temporary.

inspired simultaneous publication in
German newspapers of Attacks on
American neutrality, brought forth an
authoritative, though informal, state
ment from the state department of the
American governments attitude. Any
action which endangers American
lives through the sinking OF ships
without warning or by failing to pro-
vide proper safeguards, II was assert
ed. will Immediately reopen the sub
marine question with all its possibili-
ties. But so far, despite what is going
on in Germany, there has been abso.
lutely no indication in official advices
that Germany has violated the agree

SEPT. LOSSES $500 A DAY
The Casualties for Month on All
British Fronts Are 5,43e Officers
and 114,11o Men.

London.-British losses in Septem-
Der were at the rate of more than
$500 a day. The casualties on all
fronts reported in this month were.
Officers. 5,439; men, 114,110.
Heavy as were the losses, they
were lighter than those of August,
which were 127,945, a daily average
of 4,127. In July, the first month of
the Somme offensive, the losses were
about half those of August or Sep
temDer Notwithstanding the fact thar
in July the British stormed the first
line German defenses. The casualties
IN that month were 59,675, so that the
total for the three months of the
Somme drive is 1859.
French and English press dis
patches report that. considering the
character of the fighting, the losses
on the Somme are low. An Official
British statement said the British los
ses in the preceding few days had
been small, not only relatively to the
importance of the gains but abso-
lutely. This is attributed largely 20
the increased effectiveness of the ar
tillery.
Since January % the British govern
ment has issued no figures of total
losses. Up to that time the daily
average of losses from the beginning
of the war was slightly more than
1000
Although the casualties at present
are about four times those of the first
16 months Of the war, this increase is
due to the offensive operations now in
progress and the fact that Great Bri.
tain's forces are far larger than in the
earlier period.
