Conveying as an Offensive.

The conveying of merchantmen has
now reached a stage almost of perfec-
ton. after many months work in train
ing both the officers of merchant ships
and the personnel of the patrol fiotil-
las. While systematic conveying was
undertaken primarily as a defensive
measure. it has now developed that
conveying is at the same time the best
offensive measure yet devised against
the U-bnat.
The offensive side of conveying may
best be shown by an illustration ::
When a submarine tries to torpedo n
conveyed ship-as submarines are now
compelled to do owing to the infre-
duency OF anconvoyed shipplng-there
Is always a destroyer on the scene, and
the chances of the destroyer's "get-
ting" that particular submarine are
correspondlngly increased. The wake
of torpedo is generally seen by the
destroyer's lookouts. and II gives a
good line on the direction where the
submarine is lying. The destroyer Inn
mediately steers course full speed
in the line shown by the wake of the
torpedo and drops repeated depth
charges along this course.
In a considerable proportion of cases
this proves effective. for these depth

MONEY FOR ORPHANS.

Duluth women have pledged the
sum of 500 for the support of the
French orphans in Europe, as a re-
suit of the lectures given in that city
by Miss Gilmore Fell and Miss
Frances Shofield of London, who are
touring the United States to raise
funds for the support Of these chill
dren. These orphans are allowed 10
cents a day from the French gov
ernment but this is not sufficient to
clothe and feed them. Many of the
subscriptions were made by parents
in the names of their children, who
will act as godfather or mother to
the French children, and who will
look forward to the receiving of let
ters from the unfortunate children
across the sea. The sum of $36.5O
is required to keep a child a year
and there are 10000 of the father

By United States Supreme
Court; Important Decision

ally go days the case was decided
by the Supreme court Of the United
States
Decision is Affirmed.
The decision affairms the decision
of the Supreme court of Minnesota
and the decision is herewith given
as being of general interest:
Indian Land-issue of patent.
l. In issuing patent to land in
fee simple to mixed blood Chippe-
wa Indian of the White Earth In
dian reservation, the officials of the
United States necessarily determined
that the Indian was an adult. Such
determination is conclusive as to the
Indians right to take and hold title,
except in a direct action to set aside
the patent.
Indian-validity of conveyance by
him.
2. The issuance of the patent,
while an adjudication Of the pat
entee's right thereto, and of his title
to the land, does not prevent the
courts of this state from inquiring
into the question of the Indians age
for the purpose of determining the
validity of conveyance from him.
Conveyance by Indian-not Fed
eral question.
3. Under the Federal statutes af-
ter a patent in fee is issued to an
Indian, questions as to the validity
of his subsequent transfers of the
land are controlled by the laws of
the state.

Dispatches sent out from Wash
ington contain the information that
an important decision of the United
States supreme court incidentally
brings Bemidji into the limelight, in
that Judge Marshall A. Spooner was
the attorney on the winning side, the
title of the case being Luck Land
company VS.. F. A. Dickson, in which
Judge Spooner, for the Luck Land
company, contended the point, that
although the Clapp amendments,
19O6-O7, removed restrictions upon
sale by Indians of land in the White
Earth reservation, nevertheless, the
Minnesota law allowing minors to
revoke deeds after attaining their
majority applies to Indians.
An Imposing Array.
Opposing Judge Spooner were
Charles C. Haupt of St. Paul, former
United States district attorney;
Frank Healy, of Minneapolis, former
city attorney, and Clyde r. White,
former assistant city attorney.
The case was first tried in the dis
trict court of Becker county before
Judge Parsons and taken to the Su-
preme court of Minnesota.
The appeal to the United States
court was perfected last August. Or
dinarily it requires two years to get
a case before the United States Su-
preme court but Judge Spooner took
advantage of a rule seldom made use
of, Rule S, raising the point of de-
tendency of the decision OF the cause
on matters frivolous, and in practic-

Bemidji is indeed fortunate this
winter, in that it has not horde of
hobos and hoboesses to look out for
and give lodging and food, and the
register of Ripple's hotel shows won
derfully clean pages.
Records show that last year at this
time from Is to 18 dodgers were
nightly given shelter in the city jail,
while thus far this month, with Bit
ter weather, only one lodger has
sought warmth.

The man in the street is under no
delusion as to Germany's military
strength but believes that Germany
will be forced sooner or later by
economic conditions to accept the
terms laid down by the enente. The
frankness and courtesy of President
Wilson's note has caused a marked
change in the attitude of the British.

HARRIS TO TAKE
CASE UP HIGHER;
IS FOUND GUILTY
OF TILTING "LID'
Treaty Amendment of 1855 Cause of
Conviction; Selling of Booze
Not Merely Introduction.
JUDGE SPEAKS PLAINLY TO ~
JURY REGARDING POINT
Defendant Argued Liquor Had Been
Purchased From Another But q
Failed to Make Good.
Especial to PiOneer)

Duluth, Jan. 12.-J. o. Harris, who
was found guilty last evening by a
Federal jury of operating a bar in
Kelliher, contrary to the Federal
laws, today appealed his case.
An amendment to the Indian treaty
of 1855 which provides that having
liquor in ones possession is prima
facie evidence of having introduced 1t
into dry territory, was the means OF
convicting Mr. Harris. So puzzled
were the jurymen that they came be-
fore Judge Page Morris for further
instructions.
While it had. been proved that
Harris sold liquor at his bar at the
hotel, it was not proved by direct
testimony that he had introduced the
liquor into dry territory. He had
obtained it from Pete McGinty, a
lumberjack, he said, and knew moth
ing of the fact that McGinty had
brought "wet goods into dry" ter
ritory.
Judge Speaks Plainly.
Judge Morris spoke very plainly to
the jurors regarding this point and
told the jurors that Harris having the
liquor in his possession could be
taken as prima facie evidence that he
had introduced it into "dry" terri
tory. He said that while there was
not direct testimony to prove Har-
ris had introduced the liquor to dry
territory, the case could be decided
from circumstantial evidence.
McGinty went to Minneapolis and
confessed his guilt as to introducing
liquor, saying he did it because he
was facing the poor house and had
to have the money. His business OF
l-totinE whisky was rather extensive
tor some time, he said.
