AMATEURS START
LEAGUE CONTESTS
Rosewood andMethodist Teams
Win Opening Battles at
Armory

The initial contest of the newly
formed City Amateur Basketball
League were played in the City Grays
Armory last night before a large num-
ber of spectators. The Rosewood five
won from the Y. M. II. A., Al to 1S,
and the Methodist quintet defeated
the Galahad team, 81 to 16.
The players of the four teams were
unfamiliar with the intercollegiate
rules, which govern the games. and
the number of fouls called during the
game is attributed to the lack of
knowledge on these rules. Several
former Central High School basket
ball stars played on the various
teams. Winn, of Methodist club;
Wallower, Galahad; Boss, Y. NJ. III. A.,
and Kline, Rosewood, were the in
d1vidual stars on their teams. Prof.
Bertram w. Saul, a certified official
of the State Amateur Association,
refereed both contests. The sum-
maries are:

Copenhagen, Aug. 7.-Whether DR..
Won Kuehlmann or DR.. Karl Helffer-
ich, vice chancellor, is to be the real
director of the foreign policy under
the administration of DR. Michaelis,
the Imperial German Chancellor, IS
the problem in connection with the
cabinet shakeup in Germany.
1t is known that DR.. Helfferich de-
sires to have hand in steering Ger
many's new course in world politics
after the war and it is rumored that
the new chancellor unacquainted as
he is with international affairs de-
sires to retain DR.. Helffrich as his
special advisor.
One of the vowed reasons for Dr.
Helfferich's retention despite his pres
ent unpopularity in the Reichstag was
that his services are Indispensable to
peace negotiations,
Certain Berlin newspapers refer to
the possibility of a conflict as Dr. Won
Kuehlmann it is understood is dis
inclined to permit himself to be regu-
lated to subordinate place.
A second feature Of the shakeup is
the consideration shown the Catholic
center party, whose demand for repre-
sentation in the imperial and Prus-
sian cabinet for the Homan Catholic
population was recognized by the ap,
pointment of three Roman Catholics.

BONE DRY LAW
HAVING EFFECT,
. DRINKS SCARCE
Only Eleven Arrests for Excess
Baggage During July---Dif-
ferent Year Ago

The bone dry law is working ou
in bismarck.
The month of July saw fewer ar
rests for drunkenness than any similar
period in the recent history of Bis
marck August is starting out will
an absolutely clean record. During
July there was but one arrest In Bis
marck for bootlegging, and tha
charge proved groundless. OF II ar
rests for drunekness during the month
seven were in one group, who pro
cured their drinkables In Mandan and
brought them across the river. AS
a result of these seven jags Man
dan man faces a prosecution which
may land him in federal prison, after
the state has finished with him.
There was not a single case OF
blindpigging reported during the
month. Crime generally, in spite OF
the fact that large transient popula-
tion was in the city and that Els
marck entertained big circus crowd,
was unusually rare
In June, 1917, before the bone dry
law took effect, 1S arrests for drunk
eness were made in Bismarck. In
May there were 80.
Some time ago the city commission
adopted a resolution directing the
street commissioner to employ IN
street work city prisoners in the coun-
ty bastile The ball and chain gang
has not had single recruit since that
date.
The office of police magistrate has
become self-supporting, largely
through fines for speeding and viola
tions of traffic ordinances. The city
board bill for the accommodation or
wayward ones in the county jail has
fallen from more than a hundred the
month to nothing.
Police Magistrate Bleckreld ana
Chief of Police Martineson are OF the
opinion that the bone dry law works.

FOR SPEEDERS,

Judge Bleckreid Threatens Fines

"Ordinary considerations do not
seem to command any respect with
our speeders; I have tried reasonable
fines and good counsel, and now I
intend to make the sky the limit"
declared Police Magistrate Bleckried
today, in discussing the increase of
speeding in Bismarck.
81 have boosted my fines to $40
and costs, but that seems to have no
effect. There's no limit to the extent
we can go for second and third Of
fenses, and intend to give these
speeders something to think about" ;"
said the judge.
