Bernhard Again
Accuses Gerard
Of Urging Peace
Rot" Says Former Envoy
of Berlin Editors
Statements

Berlin, June 6. Georg Bernhard
makes the following assertions in the
"Vossische Zeitung" this morning in re-
ply to the denial Of James W. Gerard,
former American Ambassador to Ger
many, forwarded TO the legation at
| The Hague. Of statement he is alleged
to have made to the Berlin editor with
respect TO President Wilson's attitude
on the restoration Of Belgium and prob
able German annexations in the East:
II can very well conceive that my
statement is embarrassing to Mr.. Ger
ard, but he cannot dispose Of it with
a mere denial. He not only once, but
repeatedly. delivered himself Of express
sions which absolutely tally with the
statements contained in my editorial
Of May "a
"My conversations with Mr.. Gerard
were invariably very comprehensive,
and frequently extended over several
hours. | discussed in detail with him,
as well as with Mr. Penfeld, the Amer
lean Ambassador at Vienna. during my
visit to that city, the possibilities Of
a Wilson peace mediation. Both gentle
mon were aware that was averse TO
such mediation, and Mr.. Gerard nat
urally endeavored TO convince me that
Intervention on the part Of President
Wilson was bound to be favorable
TO us.
Nothing was emphasized more
plainly than American consent 10 Ger
man territorial annexation in the East
in order to persuade Germany 10 re
nounce all claims for indemnity IN the
shape Of money or territory m the
West This idea was invariably the
kernel of Mr.. Gerard's expositions,
which betrayed utter indifference 10
the fate Of England's Russian ally.
Russia was 10 be sacrificed by Eng
land, if only for the purpose Of keep
ing alive the animosity between Ger
many and Russia. the benefits Of which
were bound to prove valuable pollti-
cal legacy in the future
"Rot. pure and simple" said Mr.. &c
rard at the Ritz Carlton last night,
commenting on Bernhard's assertions.
"Do | have to deny that drivel again
Do you suppose I'd discuss affairs Of
state in a time Of crisis with a Berlin
reporter? This business Of printing
alleged interviews with a diplomat
after he has left the Fatherlaud seems
TO be the latest German trick"
Bernhard previously quoted Mr.. Ge-
rard as saying that the United States
would raise no objection TO German an
nexation in the East. Mr.. Gerard de-
MED categorically that he had made any
such statements.

WHY HIGH?

We are informed by Washington
dispatches that American beet sugar
producers will lower the price of their
product 1A cents a pound. It is
though this action will bring down
the price of Cuban sugar also.
This very action proves that it was
not alone the law of supply and de-
mand that put the excessive HIGH in
the increased cost of this commodity.
If one needs further proof of this
statement make note Of the fact that
last year the American Sugar Rein
ing Co., increased it's profits over its
normal profits 40 per cent. At the
same time the n-American Sugar
Co., increased it's net earnings 1900
per cent!
Shoes cost more? Both the Amer.
ican Hide and Leather Co., and the
Central Leather Co., made excess pro.
fits of 500 per cent over their norma
profits.
Clothing too expensive? The Am
erican Woolen Co., pocketed thre.
times the profit in 1916 that it dds,
other normal years.-St. Paul Dali!

HOW. W.MlATuRE| MUST
CORN BE FOR SEED

Tests made at the North Dakota Ex-
pertinent station indicate that corn
that is in the glazing stage makes
about as good seed corn as that which
is ripe. Corn in the dough stage gave
a pretty good termination, but not
nearly as good as that which was
more mature; while corn saved for
seed in the milk stage gave very
small termination. To make seed
suitable for field planting the corn
must be at least in the dough stage,
but it can be saved in the milk stage
for the purpose of saving some par
ticular strain Of corn that did not get
any more mature. The more mature
the corn the harder it is to cure.

AUTO THIEVES
BACK FOR TRIAL

Sheriff Martin Olsen and Chief of
Police Pete limbo returned on 90.
1 last night from austin, Minn., where
they went to bring back the parties
who stole q Ford car from in front of
the Great Northern hotel in this city
on Aug. Goth.
The car belonged to Winter & Ames,
Minneapolis commission firm, and at
the time it was stolen was being used
by representative Of the company in
this territory, who offered a reward
of $25 for the apprehension Of tne
thief and $25 for the return of the
car.
The names of the parties are Frank
Ingersoll, aged 20, who gives his home
as Northfeld, MIMI, and Everett
Wray, age 19 of Havre, Mont. Ac-
cording to their story they came to
Devils Lake from Scoby, Mont, on
the same day as they stole the car.
In the evening they stole the car and
started east, avoiding all the towns
enroute until they came to Fargo,
where they made detour and getting
on the Red Trail followed it through
to southern patr of Minnesota. They
did not remove the North Dakota Ii
cense tag, but made a number of the
county seat towns in that part Of the
state where county fairs were being
held and taking out taxi license used
the car for livery purposes. After
making a few towns they landed in
Austin and taking out another license
continued the livery business. On the
day of their arrest Wray had imbibed
too freely in the "amber fluid" am
became quarrelsome. In a dispute
with Ingersoll as to who should drive
the car he became angry and fight
was the result. Quite crowd gath.

ROBBERS ENTER
EDMoRE STORE

Monday night or early Tuesday
morning Berg & Stendall's store at
Edmore was entered and quite an
amount of goods carried away. Berg
& Stendall are hardware firm and
from their stock was taken three liver
Johnson revolvers, three flash lights,
twelve razors and three Ingersoll
watches.t The conclusion has been
drawn from the articles taken, the
number that there were three parties
implicated in the affair and that un-
doubtely they are preparing them
selves for trouble. The officials at
Edmore have a bad condition to con-
tend with, as the Great Northern has
a big reservoir just out Of town, which
places affords the "tranient labor"
place to "jungle." AS this is the only
watering place on the line large
number gather here. Great care is ex-
ercised by the police authorities to
prevent such happenings as this but
each year, despite their vigilance, some
depredations are committed.
AS soon as the robbery was discov-
cred Tuesday morning the local sher-
les office was notified as we'll as the
police officers in the adjoing town,
but no trace Of the robbers has so far
been found.

HOME MADE' VINE
WILL NOT Be
TOLERATED HERE

Peace officers advise that very
close watch is being kept of families
who have in the past made a practice
of manufacturing little wine each
fall for home consumption. Under the
liquor laws of 1913 the manufacture
of vinous as weel as all other spirit
GUS and malt liquors ie expressly pro
hibited, and the husbandman found
guilty Of violating this provision is
subject to a fine Of not less than 5000
nor more than $1,000, or imprison-
ment in the county Jail not less than
80 days and not more than one year
or both fine and Imprisonment.
The Missouri river bottoms this
year are one mass Of wild grapes
choke cherries and bullberries, all o1
which possess more or less vertus
when fermented into wine. Wagon
loads Of this fruit have been brought
into town in years past by people wht
have made from it light wines fo1
their own use. This year they are ad.
vised that the practice ia not only
violation Of the state laws but of the
federal statutes as well, and that al
'violaters will be prosecuted without
regard to person or precedent.-Ex.

MAYOR OF MlNOT
IS REMOVED vIllE| BY
THE GOVERNOR
ATTORNEY WEHE NAMED CON-
MISSIONER TO TAKE AND =.
PORT THE TESTIMONY.

BY order of Governor Lynn ]. Fra
-zier Saturday afternoon w. S. Shaw,
president of the city commission for
the city Of Minot, was removed from
Office on charges Of misconduct, NAL
feasance, crime in Office and gross in.
competency. The complaint upon
which Mayor Shaw was removed from
Office was signed by Attorney General
William LANCER, Assistant Attorney
General H. A. Bronson, and Assistant
Attorney General D. v. Brennan.
In directing the removal of Mayor
Shaw, Governor Frazier nominated
Attorney L. J. Wehe, of Devils Lake
as special commissioner to take and
report testimony to him for and
against Mayor Shaw. The taking OF
testimony will commence at 10 o'clock
in the forenoon of September 22 and
will continue until completed.
Result of Vice Raids
The action of Governor Frazier is
the outgrowth of the now famous vice
raid by Attorney General William
LANCER early in May. The complaint
against Mayor Shaw, among other
things, charges that Mayor Shaw
knowingly permitted, allowed and
suffered numerous places within the
city of Minot to be openly kept and
maintained as places where intoxicat-
ing liquors were sold, bartered and
given away, in violation of chapter SO
Of the penal code, compiled laws of
North Dakota for 1913,"
! The complaint further charges that
Mayor Shaw knowingly and Corrupt
ly allowed and suffered to be kept and
maintained within the city of Minot
numerous places as bawdy houses, ana
. eonnived= at the open and notorious
9 maintenance of said places and pro-
tected and shielded the owners and in
mates thereof"
\ Another of the more serious charges
preferred in the complaint against the
Minot mayor is that he knowingly
permitted, allowed and suffered to be
openly and notoriously kept and main
tained in the city of Minot numerous
places for gambling where tables
cards, dice and other gambling appar-
atus were kept and maintained and
where PRISONS wre permitted to resort
for gambling, and where games of
chance were played on which money
and property was wagered, ana where
;; persons did resort for gambling anc
!. did knowingly and wrongfully connive
at the maintenance of said places anc
> did protect the properties and inmate:
thereof"
In discussing the case Attorney Gen
eral LANCER said that the removal O.
Mayor Shaw rests entirely in tn
hands of D. v. Brennan.
