Johnson's predicament until
after the plow had passed
over the fallen mans body.
johnson was rushed to a
hospital in this city, regain
ing consciousness on the way
long enough to ask that his
brother in Kansas be notified.
He died shortly before noon.
The dead man had worked

BELGIUM SOON TO
BE READY TO TRY
GERMAN CRIMINALS
Department of Justice Working
on List of Huns Who
Fought for "Kultur"

Brussels, Aug. 3O-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press. )-The time
Of reckoning for German criminals is
approaching. The Belgian Depart
ment of Justice is fastening work on
the list Of enemy subjects accused of
violations of the laws of war and of
international law. The Treaty of Ver-
sailles gives to Belgium the right to
demand the extradition of these per-
sons, but it must be done within one
month after ratification.
The preparation of the list of per-
sons to be eXtradited is a delicate
task. The documentary evidence is
necessarily incomplete as to the iden-
tity of particular persons. Many
crimes were committed by troops and
the individual authors in numerous
cases were unidentified or their chief
unknown. However, the treaty allows
considerable leeway in that it permits
extradition by designating guilty ones
by their titles or employment. Judges
have been making inquiries and a
commission, instituted by royal de-
cree on February Is, 1919, is contin-
uing its investigation of all infrac-
tions committed by Germans. Instruc-
tions have just been given to hasten
the work.

NATIONAL BANKS
PROTEST TAKING
CAPITAL STOCK
Declare That Inasmuch as They
Are Organized Under Federal
Statutes Act Is Null

An annual tax income of approxi-
mately $4,000 is jeaopardized through
protests which have been filed by Il
number of national banks in this state
against paying the capital stock tax
levied by House Bill Al, which was
passed by the sixteenth assembly. This
tax runs from fifty cents to 5000 per
institution, depending upon the amount
of capital stock, and about $4,000 has
been levied under House Bill Al for
the current year. In probably IS per-
cent Of the instances the tax has been
paid by national banks. Now many of
these institutions are filing with the
state auditor demands that these pay
ments be returned them. They inform
the auditor that this action is based
upon competent legal advice to the
effect that they, being organized under
federal statutes, are not amendable to
this state legislation.
Auditor Kositzky has Informed the
protesting banks that moneys already
paid into the state treasury can be re-
turned only through an order from the
supreme court 1t is believed that the
banks in serving notice are laying a
basis for legal action and that the con-
stitutionality Of this act, insofar as it
affects national banks, may be tested
in the near future.

CONTROL DOMESTIC ISSUES

Washington, D. c.. Sept. 27.-Sena
tor McCumber, republican of Norti
Dakota, member of the senate foreign
relation committee, believes that The
peace treaty will be ratified at an ear

tor McCumber occupies commanding
position in the senate at this time. a.
he is the only republican member OF
the foreign relations committee wht
refused to sign the Lodge majority re
port and is in close touch with all til!
various senatorial groups Of both par
ties.
In a statement to the country today
given out through the league to enforc:
peace, Senator McCumber said:
II cannot believe that there will +!
any amendments or reservations
adopted that will require a resubmis
sion to the peace conference. hop'
and believe that the senator's will agree
upon few reservations that viii
clarity any provision on which there
is doubt and which will assure III
every right Of independence Of protee'
ton of our national policies such as
the Monroe doctrine and the unques
toned control of all our domestic mat
ters. We do not need to make any
amendments to assure these results
and cannot believe that majorit;
Of the senators could be secured II
vote for amendments or reservation
that will defer the consumation Of the
treaty for many months longer, there
by continuing the present uncertainty
and chaotic condition of the world fol
another indefinite period with all it,
resulting evils in strikes and tht
spread Of Bolshevism throughout Flu
rope and the United States.
II believe that many senator's who
do not like all the provisions Of the
treaty, treaty on which twenty-sevei1
nations labored for six months, to com
pose their difference and to reach Il
compromise, will pause long before
they add to the present chaos by send
ing this treaty back to conference
either by such radical amendments OF
by such reservations as will necessitate
reconsideration of the whole treaty
by all the nations which join in the
present treaty I am convinced that q
majority Of the senator's believe that
we cannot afford to, subject the pres,
ent delicate situation to another peace
conference and another long delay"

BISMARCK HIGH
FOOTBALL STARS
IN FIRST CLASH
Teams Composed of Candidates
for 1919 Eleven Meeting
This Afternoon

The first try-out of the IS candi-
dates for this years Bismarck high
school eleven was held at the athletic
park this afternoon when two scrub
teams lined up in an exciting if not
particularly scientific scrimmage. One
of the aggregations had been trained
by Spencer Boise, athletic director of
the Bismarck high, and the other had
received it's coaching from Principal
G. F. Bolt, who acted as athletic direc-
tor, in addition to his other capacities,
during the last two or three years.
Bismarck has four veterans of last
years famous eleven to form nue.
leus for a winning 1919 team. They
are Kilners, Fogerty, Allen and
Berndt, one Of the likeliest quartettes
which ever has worn the "B. H. S."
Amongst the new candidates are
number of men who have played on
high school teams in other towns and
who have already won considerable Of
a reputation. Athletic Director Boise
and Principal Bolt are confident that
Bismarck this year will have team
which will live up to the best tradi-
tions of the Capital City high.
The schedule planned is relatively
brief, and it covers considerably less
territory than that of a year ago.
Bismarck will not invade Montana as
it has in past years, nor will it jour
ney as far east as the Red river
valley. Its games will be confined to
its three nearest rivals -Mandan,
Dickinson and jamestown. With each
of these teams Bismarck will have two
games, and it is hoped that the capital
city may conclude it's season before
snow flies. .G
