J.. S. SUPREME COURT
STOPS P|RAT|NG
Of A.P. NEWS

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 23.-
The supreme court has sustained
the Injunction granted to the AS
sociated Press to stop the pirating
of news by the International News
service.
The decision expressed doubt as
to whether there could be any
property interest in uncopyrighted
news as between the public and
the news organizations, but said as
between rival news-gathering or
CARNATIONS there was a quasi prop
erty interest.
Referring to the contentious of
the International that the Associ-
ated Press was guilty of the same
practices charged against the de-
PENDANTS, the decision by Associate
Justice Pitney said there was moth
ing in the proceedings that puts
the Associated Press in the posi-
ton of having "unclean hands"
Discussing the taking of Associat-
ed Press news by the Information
al News service, Justice Pitney
said: "The transaction speaks
for itself and a court of equity
ought not to hesitate long in
characterizing it as unfair compe-
tition in business" The court de-
clared the processes used by the
International amounted to "un-
authorized interference with the
normal operation Of compliments
legitimate business"
The opinion was rendered by a
vote of five to three, Justice
Clarke, himself a publisher, not
participating. Justice Brandies
dissented verbally. Justices Holmes
and McKenna, in a minority opin-
ion, merely did not uphold all
the views of the majority.

STEAMER JUMPS over
TORPEDO, SAYS
NEWSPAPER

LONDON, Dec. 81. = Now that
censorship rules have been much
relaxed, extraordinary stories of
close SLAVES and unexpected hap
penings are being published. Hard
to beat is one related by the Liv-
erpool Evening Express. 1t tells
how a torpedo from a U-boat pass
ed under an intended victim, which
at the psychological moment was
lifted beyond it's reach by a big
wave, and administered the q%uietus
to another enemy submarine on
the other side of the steamer.
Here is the papers account of it:
The British steamer Algories,
commanded by Captain Frederick
Taylor, was off Bardsley island
and had a cargo of timber from
Rosslare to Garston. There was
a heavy sea on and the ship was
pitching about.
The first to see the first SUBJ
marine was the gunner who also
spotted the track of a torpedo
which, if something like a miracle
had not happened, would have
struck them amidships.
Nothing could be done in time
to turn the ship clear of danger,
but a heavy sea lifted high on it's
crest the steamer, which was draw
ing only a few feet of water, and
then those who had just beer ex-
pecting to be torpedoed them
selves saw a second U-boat which
was working in conjunction with
the n on the other side of the
steamer, struck by the torpedo.
They heard a deafening explo-
sion and saw a mountain of spray
thrown up into the air.

Old Trees Bearinu.

A good deal is heard about the tenn
porary nature of fruit trees, and 1T has
been a large factor in preventing
planting in this region, says an Ellens-
burg, Ore, dispatch. There seems to be
an impression that in a dozen years or
so apple and pear trees are down and
out.
To those who hold such an idea a
visit to the orchard of John Catlin, on
the west side Of the river, will be an
eye opener. These trees are carrying a
phenomenal load of fruit this year
and look as though they may be pro-
ducers for years to come, yet they
were planted in 1S7S--forty years ago.

PRESIDENT HOLDS
RECfPUONfOR DIPLOMATS

The president is a medium-s1zed
man, stockily built, with a pleasing
countenance and a reassuring
smile. He was attired in frock
suit and looked the up-to-date
eastern dignitary. He negotiated
the ordeal of Handspring with all
the ease and dignity of a veteran
public official. Since he speaks
neither French nor English, DR.
Charles d. Tenney, Chinese secre-
tary of the American legation, act
ed as introducer for a time, pre-
senting the several members CT
the diplomatic corps, but presently
even that ~focmality was aban-
dcned.
This ceremony finished, the
president Joined Nine. Hsu, who
meanwhile was holding a recep-
ton in an inner apartment for
the women guests. A tea in stud
led foreign style was served, after
which guests were invited to view
a collection of portraits of emper-
ors and expresses dating back to
the foundation of the empire.

RACE PREJUD|CtS
TO CAUSE NEXT
WAR,SAyS JAP

TOXIC, Dec. 20. - Belief that
the next wal will be the outcome
of ace prejudices is expressed by
Yukio Ozaki, formerly minister OF
justice, and a leading member of
the constitutional party. Mr.. Oza-
XII said that in his opinion the col
pred races, which steadily were de-
~veloping their civilization, would
demand finally the same treatment
as the white races, and that the re-
suit would be an armed collision.
Mr.. Ozaki recommended that at
the peace conference Japan, act
ing on behalf of all the Asiatic
races, should introduce the racial
and population questions for con-
sideration, and, if possible, secure
a solution.
In a country like Japan where
the population is increasing with
alarming rapidity, he said 1t was
but natural that the surplus pop
ulation should try to obtain an
outlet ever by resorting to arms.
From Japan's standpoint, said Mr..
Ozaki, the racial or population
questions we're more important
than President Wilson's fourteen
points" as laid down for a basis
of Germany's surrender. These
racial questions, he said, concern
ed the future of millions of souls
in Asia.
Mr.. Okazi warned the Japanese
not to develop the German system
of state organization which in the
present war had proved to be a
mere machine for destroying civ
ilization and for trampling under
foot the rights of other nations
and peoples.
On the question of Japan's oc-
cupation of the German south sea
islands, Mr.. Ozaki declared that
the United States should disman-
tie her forts in the Philippines
and Hawaii, and that this would
be more important for Japan than
the taking over Of the south sea
islands.

Turning From Gold to silver.

The Yukon is turning from gold to
silver mining. While the value of the
former, or its purchasing power, has
decreased, that of silver has been
doubled. There is great activity in two
silver bearing areas tributary to Daw-
son, the Mayo district on the upper
Stewart river and along the Twelve
mile creek. These fields are $50 miles
apart. Silver was discovered in these
areas years ago, but no work was ever
done.

STATE SOCIETY BUYS
PAINTING OF BUTLER

"A painting of Jim Butler, dis
overe of the Mizpah lode in To-
nopah and generally known as
''the father" of the silver camp,
has been sold by Frank Marine of
Goldfield to the Nevada Historical
society, a state institution with
headquarters in Reno. Marine had
the painting done in the early
days of Tonopah and Butler and
his burro r posed beside a tent
on the site on which the Tonopah
First National bank was afterward
erected. The work flatters Meth
er the "Father of Tonopah" nor
the burro, but 1t should prove OF
value when placed among the ar
chives of the historical society.
The painting has been IN display
in various places in Goldfield fol
many years and always attracted
the attention of newcomers.

Many years ago II. A. Benson and
his wife, both Swedes residing at
Allica, Ind, agreed to part ways. A
divorce was obtained in spite of the
fact that their love did not die out.
Years passed, and Mrs. Benson mar
ried John Beck in Kansas City, who
died last year. Her first husband,
who had abstained from marrying
again, received news OF his wife's
widowhood and decided that he still
loved her sufficiently to resume mar
ital relations. Last week Mr.. and
Mrs. Benson were remarked. He is

shipping agreements with the entente
nations. BY trained observers it is
generally conceded that Germany
has revealed her true intentions in
permitting direct attacks being
hurled against the northern coun-
tries. The inference is that German
victories in the Baltic provinces,
Finland included, have been so ma
terial that it is not necessary to pre-
tend friendship for Scandinavia in
the future. According to cablegrams
received early this week, feeling
runs rather high in the northern

Senator.

ing to boil in the good old fashioned
way and from now on the campaign
can be expected to be lively.
After much encouragement and
urging from friends and acquaint-
ances all over the County. l.. G. Ped
ersen of Askov, went to St. Paul last
week and filed for the legislature.
Mr.. Pedersen's wide experience will
fit him we'll for this office. AS yet
there have been no rumors OF anoth-
er candidate from Pine County for
the House and perhaps there might
not be another as Mr.. Petersen ap-
pears to be the kind of a man near
ly everybody wants for this office.
Elias Nordgren of Sunrise. Chisago
County, is expected to Ale for the
House in the near future. He has
served two terms with credit and
friends are asking him to file again.
Pine and Chisago Counties comprise
the seth legislative district and this
year the two representatives and
senator are elected together, but Of
course 1t is no more than right that
each county get one representative.
Adolph s. Larson, who has served
in the House three terms, has filed
for the senate. Mr.. Larson is a
hustling law-maker and will make q
strong campaign against any other
'candidate. Inasmuch as II is Pine
County's turn to have senator he
will most likely win out over any
candidate that may be put up from

a child starting now can fit into no
class now organized and get any,
thing worth the time spent; further
more no beginners class will be or
ganized till next fall. So the pri-
mary teacher and the undersigned
would advise no beginner to enter
now unless he has attended school at
least four months regularly earlier
in the year.
AS time for spring work approach
es some parents will be tempted to
take out some of the older children
for farm work; under the present la
Dor conditions this cannot be avoided.
However, before this can be done, le-

excuse can be granted before April
1, and only to those who are IA years
of age or have completed the eighth

1t is interesting, in connection
with the announcement, to note that
the Company took it's original name,
"Germania", as result Of the
large immigration to America, from

rule in their own country, and came
to the United States to secure politi-
