FEAR IS FELT FOR
ALL FOREIGNERS
WITH TR00PSOUT
cARRAMzA WILL GET STRAIGHT
NOTE FROM WASHINGTON.
United States VIII Ask That All Per.
sons Be Given Proper Protection.
'e Chinese Can Cross Line.
tBy Associated rresr.,

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 25.-Coinci-
dent with the withdrawal OF General
Pershins's force from Mexico are ur-
gent appeal probably will be sent by
the United States to Carranza to make
every possible effort to protect for
eigners In the district that has been
occupied by American troops.
Fear is felt particularly for the
safety OF the many Chinese who have
been purveyors OF supplies to the
Americans. II was said at the state
department Wednesday that II the
Chinese considered themselves In
danger and chose to cross into the
United States no objection would be
made in spite Of the act excluding
them. They will not be given free
dom to move at will In American ter.
ritory, but will have the right Of asy.
lum so long as II appears TO be dan.
gerous for them to return to Mexico.
The administration Is manifesting
much interest In the continued mob
ilixation OF villa forces at strategic
points In the north. and considerable
speculation was aroused by a report
Wednesday that the rebels had cut
the railroad south OF Chihuahua.
Such interruption OF traffic II contin-
ued would interfere materially. II is
felt, with the movement OF the de
facto government forces that are ex-
pected to garrison the district now
held by Pershing.
Information reached here wedner
day that diplomatic agents OF Great
Britain and France In Mexico had pro-
tested formally against the seizure OF
the metallic reserve OF the National
Bank and the Bank OF London and
Mexico. The American government
made representations some time ago.
but new inquiry as to the facts will
probably be made. as II is shown that
many Americans were interested eth.
er as stockholders or depositors.
A representative Of powerful
banking house In New York said here
Wednesday that the attitude taken by
Carranza towards these banks has re-
moved any remaining possibility that
the de facto government might be
able to borrow money In New York.
No further advices were received
Wednesday regarding the fate OF the
two priests being held In Zacatecas
on the charge Of conspiracy.

FOOD OUTLOOK IN
GERMANY GLOOMY
A General Air Of Depression Prevails.
Short Potato Crop the Cause.

Berlin. Jan. 25.-The advisory com.
mittee Of the war food bureau has
concluded two day session devoted
to general review OF the food situ-
alton. A detailed statement in regard
to conditions throughout the empire
was made by Adolph Batocki. presi.
dent Of the food regulation board.
Herr Batocki said that the chief diff.
ficulty lay in the shortage Of the po-
tato crops. enhanced by transportation
troubles. He said that although the
grain crops had been better than In
1915. the total nutritive value Of the
grain and potatoes together was less.
and economical feeding was necessary
to carry the population to the end OF
the crop year.
Herr Batocki complained that the
situation was aggravated by the rich.
er people buying underhand at fancy
prices what they wanted and thus
thwarting the work OF the food office.
He said that allotments OF barley
to the brewers were hardly more than
enough TO produce beer for the army
and laborers employed on heavy work.

COUNTRY shocked
BY REMARKABLE
PRISON RECORD
FORTY ONE YEARS IN SOLITARY
CELL.
Cell Lighted From Ceiling 90 Prs.
onsr Could Not See Passsrsby
Learned Seven Languages.

Boston. Mass, Jan. 25.-Jesse
Pomeroy, who has been Al years In sol-
itary confinement in the state prison
at Charleston. was granted equal
privileges with other prisoners BY the
the state executive council Wednes-
day Convicted of murder At Is.
Pomeroy two years later was locked
up in cell lighted from Q window in
the ceiling SO that he might not gaze
on his fellowmen. and barred a. far -
possible from human companionship.
Two years ago the sentence was en-
forced less vigorously to accord with
modern ideas Of prison reform.
Now. at the age Of 81 years. Pome-
roy will move into a cell where he
can see passersby, will be allowed to
exercise with other prisoners. sit with
them at the church services and q
the prison entertainments, and will be
given such work In the prison shops
as his somewhat enfeebled health viii
permit. Governor Mccall announced
Wednesday night that he approved
the Communication.
Pomeroy was convicted Of the bru-
tai murder Of two children. following
a series Of degenerate acts which had
terrorized the South Boston and Dor.
chester districts OF this city. He was
sentenced to be hanged. but because
OF his youth the sentence was COM
muted to solitary confinement for life.
When Pomeroy began his sentence
he was poorly educated. Now he can
read in seven languages. and at the
age Of 81 is studying Arabic. He also
has been diligently studying law as 1t
bears on his case. Beyond attempts
to escape he has been on the whole,
his keepers say, a quiet and model
prisoner.

WHY WE SHOULD SPEND ,ssas
81 OUR MONEY AT HOME

A North Dakota firm recently COM
pleted a survey Of the states com
mercial conditions, and in letter
calls attention to this paragraph:
If the people of North Dakota will
spend their money with each other,
instead of sending it out of the state,
they will double their wealth and pop
ulation in five years, and benefit every
individual in town and on the farm.
That is good advice and, from our
observation, that is just what the
Farmers Non-Partisan League is at
tempting to do. That many business
men fail to recognize this is no fault
of the league, but is the fault of GER
tain people who imagine that the
league is going to take from them
particular snap they now enjoy-by
law or otherwise.
If this state is ever going to amount
to anything it must manufacture it's
own products, instead of paying
freight both ways, and letting big in
terests in other states skim the cream
in the process.-Harvey Journal.

There's none for me to pass it to.

by the state highway commission in
the county from which it il derived.
This leaves the state commission with
sixteen and two-thirds per cent OF the
entire. amount for expenditure in the
construction of roads in sparsely set
tied sections, where It will be found
that connecting links must be con-
structed in order to utilize to the best
advantage the system on either side OF
these vacant places.
The county and township system OF
road building and repairing are not
changed in any way, except that the
money returned to the counties from
the state must be expended on roads
which conform to plans and specifica-
tions and requirements laid down by
the state highway commission.

Important Road Legislation Will Pass
Both Houses.


George Reishus, of this city, member
of the legislature from the 29th dis
trict, arrived home from Bismarck
Saturday, after being on the road 16
hours. The lower house took short
recess to give the appropriations COM
mittee an opportunity to frame up
some bills.
Mr.. Reishus is chairman of the pub
lie highways committee in the house
and some important legislation has
been under way which very likely will
pass.
One of the bills provides for the
creation of state highway commits
sion which will comply with the re-
quirements Of the federal law. This
commission consists of the governor,
the secretary of agriculture and labor,
the state engineer, and two civilian
members to be appointed by the gov
ernor. This commission will handle
the immense funds which will be ex-
pended in the construction of good
roads in this state. The other bill is
the revenue law and provides the
methods by which the required money
is provided. This is all derived from
automobiles. A license of Sc a year
has been placed on all automobiles of
twenty horsepower or less and an adj
ditional so cents on each horsepower
over that amount. But the tax on all
automobiles in actual use is abolished.
Machines in stock for sale are not
included in the proposed license and
will be assessed as property. In ad-
dition a tax of SIS per year for each
make of cars handled by dealers is
imposed. It is estimated that this
will give the state more than enough
revenue to meet the national appro-
priation of something like $4,000 for
the current year and leave good sur
plus to be applied in that Of next year
when the federal appropriation is dou-
BILE that Of this year.
One-third of the money raised under
the provisions Of the bill will be re-
turned directly to the county from
which it was collected to be expended
by the county commissioners in the
construction of roads. Three-fourths
of the remainder Of the money derived
from the county must be expended
