WILL TAKE APPEAL
IN MOULTON CASE
City to Appeal Matter Of Law on
Ground of Governmental Fune.
ton at City Dump.

While the Judgment in the case Of
Daniel Moulton against the city of
Fargo will be paid, the matter Of law
brought out in the trial will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court, accord
ing to a decision of the city commits
sioners at a meeting this morning.
City Attorney w. H. Shure contends
that the operation of the city dump is
a governmental function and while
this matter was argued before the
district court. the matter is still to
be ruled on. The appeal will be taken
for the express purpose Of ascertain
ing the status of municipal plants OF
the kind and for deciding the law
part of the case.
Another claim growing out Of the
MouIton case was settled today when
the commission voted to settle the
claim of ]. T. Young & Son for $50
for the wagon that was burned when
Moulton was injured at the city dump
In this case Moulton was driving a
Young wagon filled with papers and
had driven onto the dump ground
when a spark from burning rubbish
at the dump set fire to the papers in
the wagon. In trying to extinguish
the blaze and save the wagon. Moulton
received the burns, which in his case
against the city. he claimed were re-
ceived through the carelessness OF the
city.

BELGIAN RELIEF
STILL POSSIBLE
(Rv Associated Press.l

London, Feb. 7.-Categorical assur-
ances from the German government
that it does not intend to interfere
with the feeding Of civilians in Bel
GUM and northern France, were re-
ceived yesterday at the local office Of
the Belgian Relief commission. Under
these assurances, it was stated, the
American agents on the commission
may remain in the occupied zones I'M
less war is declared and in that event
they would receive safe conduct.
1t also was stated that in event or
war between the u. s. and Germany,
the organization would continue its
existence, but would discontinue the
work of distributing supplies limiting
itself to unloading the cargoes in
Rotterdam, at which point they would
be turned over to some neutral gov
eminent to be distributed.
This information is regarded here
as considerably improving the Bel
gian relief situation.
The only hindrance to the usual
course Of forwarding food to Belgium
lies in the inability thus far to reach
an agreement as to the routing Of il
through the submarine zone. Ger
many insists that it shall be sent by
the route north of Scotland while the
British government stipulates that the
relief ships must continue to use the
English channel route by way of Fal'
mouth; but the commission hopes thai
some compromise may be reached by
which the regular sailings can be re-
Sumed.

New Dope Bill Makes
It Possible to Reach
Peddlers Of Drugs

Senate. Bill No. 191. introduced by
Senator Gilbert Haggart and which
was framed by States Attorney Ar
thur w. Fowler and Assistant States
Attorney William c. Green is without
forming drug bill ever presented in
any state and makes it possible to
reach the seat Of the drug traffic with
out in the least interfering with the
legitimate sale of drugs.
This bill was compiled and put into
the hands of Senator Haggart in or
der that a stop can be put to the ped
ding of drugs in the state, and es-
pecially here in Fargo. 1t being esti-
mated that there are twenty-five or
thirty habitual users Of drugs in the
city who are getting their supplies OF
dope from persons bringing it into the
state and who cannot be reached be-
cause possession does not constitute
an offense and it is impossible to get
a drug user to testify against the
source Of his supply. The drug act in
force at the present time is weak in
that 1t does not apply to some Of the
worst drugs and put it UP to the state
to prove a person with drugs in his
possession has them for sale. The
Harrison act also cannot be used in
or having for sale.
In the first place the proposed law
embodied in S. B. No. 191 prohibits the
selling, having for sale or giving away
any Of the habit forming drugs except
on prescription and a prescrip-
ton can be filled only once. It also
provides that pharmacists must keep
each prescription on file for at least
two years and that the prescription
records must be open to inspection of
the state authorities.
In this, and also in drugs covered,
the bill is much like the Harrison fed
eral act, with the exception that the
North Dakota bill covers a greater
variety Of drugs than the U. s. act.
In specifying the drugs the bill goes
back to the basic materials, opium,
coca leaves and morphine and specifies
all compounds, manufactures, deriva-
tives, salts Of preparations, even speci-
flying codeine, choral hydrate, heroin
and many others. 1t also named 'yen'

NAVY READY FOR
ANY EMERGENCY
(Bv Associated Press.1

Washington, Feb. 7.-AI precau-
tionary and preparatory steps the
military arms of the government have
been authorized to take are under way
and little remains to be done now un-
less actual war should follow the
break with Germany.
On the surface the war and navy
departments have fallen back to al
most the quiet routine Of normal
times. A few mo admittance" signs
and the strict enforcement Of new
rules requiring every person who en-
ters the building to have a pass or to
be escorted by a Waterman. were the
only visible signs that the nation fac
es a grave international crisis.
Below the surface navy officials
were studying out the details Of steps
they plan to take up under authority
/ of the annual appropriation bills on
which the house labored during the
day. There is being made the vehicle
of extending to the president almost
unlimited powers. There will be nc
delay in the exercise of some Of these
as soon as the measure has beer
passed and approved. The navy al.
ways must bear the shock of a foreign
war, and the appropriation bill is ex-
pected to carry ample authority and
: funds to meet any emergency.
Technical officers devoted much
time to appraising the condition Of
government and private plants fol

and numbers Of submarines and sub

discussion.

rotary Daniels said he would renew
his plea to congress for the establish.
ment Of a government monopoly ovel
all radio plants without delay.
There is less need for haste with tn,

and fortification bills, are already
well on their way through congress
They carry sufficient funds for pres.
ent emergencies though If war comes

HONEY BECOMES
Big INDUSTRY
fBy Associated Press,

Madison, Wis, Feb. THE honey
industry in this country has increased
during the past three years nearly 300
per cent, and the time has come to lift
the association from q mere assem-
blage for scientific discussion and So
cial intercourse to regulate the COM
cercial handling of honey, to stand
ardize the quality and measurements,
to agree on prices and to systematic
the industry generally" declared
Francis lager, professor of bee culture
in the university of Minnesota, and
president of the association, at the
opening session of the annual conven-
ton of the Bee-keepers association
of America yesterday.
Professor jaeger said the feeling be-
tween eastern and western honey pro-
ducers in the past has been antago-
nistic, and they are just beginning to
realize this antagonism has been mu-
Cually harmful.
Delegates from about dozen states
were present at the opening.

MUNITION SHIPS
ARE NOT HELD
(Rv Associated Press.l

New York, Feb. 1.-THE German
blockade declaration has not delayed
the transportation Of war materials
and munitions from the United States
to Great Britain and France. Cargo
manifests in the customs houses here
show that five steamships are now on
their way from this port to Europe
carrying enough contraband war
goods to equip an army corps.
Two Of these vessels fly French col
ors; the others are Of British registry.
1t is believed in shipping circles that
on account Of the value of their car
goes Great Britain has made arrange
ments to convoy these ships through
the danger zone. Three of them left
New York after the date on which
Germany declared for unrestricted
submarine warfare. Four of them
carry passengers. The only Ameri-
can passenger ships now at sea, ac-
cording to the declaration Of agents
of the line, carry no contraband
cargo. They are the Kroonland, which
sailed for Liverpool January 81, and
the New York, which departed from
the same port February l.

which is the residue obtained from
opium pipes which have been smoked
for some time and which is cooked
over with a quantity Of opium remain
ing.
The present law is weak for it
specifies "heroin and It's derivatives"
but does not take into consideration
that heroin Is itself a morphine al
kaloid.
The proposed legislation goes fur
Their and makes possession prima facie
evidence of having for sale, putting
the burden of proof on the defendant
to show that he was in legal posses
sion, which can be proven through the
filed prescriptions of the druggist. 1t
prohibits anyone having drugs in
possession with the exception Of drug
narians and these must keep a record
Of all habit forming drugs dispensed
by them IL they do dispensing prac-
tice. These records must be kept for
two years as in the case of druggists
and violations may be punished by re-
voking of the license of the practi-
toner.
The bill goes further and provides
for search warrants and seizures by
state authorities.
The penalties provided are fines not
less than 500 or more than $1,000, i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary not
less than one or more than three
years or in the county Jail not more
than one year or both fines and i'm
prisonment.
A measure Of this sort has been
needed here for long time and If it
is passed it is hoped to put stop to
the extensive peddling and use of dope
in this state.
There are many cases on record
where the authorities have been con-
fident Of peddlers making sales here,
but have never been able to secure
enough evidence to convict. The pro-
posed law will furnish the means Of
reaching these people.
Just last summer two men were ar
rested here with a large quantity of
opium and a. larger quantity of ''yen"
on their persons, but there was no
way of securing a conviction and the
men had to be released.

HARVARD TO REFoREsT YARD
Thirteen EIns Will Be TranspIanted
at Night to Campus.

Reforesting of Harvard university's
famous yard" will begin soon, and
the famous elns again will command
the university grounds. Thirteen per-
feet specimens of the elm have been
obtained in the country nearby and
will be transplanted in an unusual
manner. The money for the work was
provided by Arthur II. Lea Of Phila-
delphia, member of the class of 1880.
He has engaged New York movers to
unroot each OF the 40-year old eIms
every limb and every root. and the
moving will be done at night, when
there is less evaporation of moisture
from the roots. Great craters are be-
ing dug for the new monarchs Of the
yard. The destruction of the Harvard
elms by moths and other pests grad
uaIly has eliminated them.
