the subject of animated discussion go.
ing on in various parts of East Grand
Forks, but ofacially no steps will be
taken until after the hearing sched-
uled for June %.
Today City Clerk A. N. Briggs gave
out the text of the petitions filed
earlier in the week with the city
council for and against the PROPOSE
ton.
One petition, having 81 signatures,
reads as follows: ~.
We, the undersigned, owning prop
erty and residing northwest Of De-
Mers avenue on First, Second, Third
and Fourth streets in East Grand
Forks hereby petition your honorable
body to AVE the portion Of the said
streets lying northwest of DeMers
avenue paved at al early a date Al
the work can be reasonably done"
North Of G. n" Tracks
A second petition, signed by II
property owners and residents, reads:
I'VE, the undersigned owning prop
erty and residing In East Grand Forks
hereby petition your honorable body
to that part of South Third street ex-
tending from DeMers avenue to the
Great Northern railway tracks paved
at al early a date az the work car be
reasonably DONE"
1t vas said today that practically
all residents of this district had sign
ed the petition, and that,it therefore
appeared to be the expression Of an
unanimous desire.
Against Paving. q
About forty people signed the coun-
ter petition which was also presented
t. the council this week. but five or
six of the signers are said to be nom
residents of the district under discus
sions-in fact. they live SO far beyond
that section that there is no prospect
whatsoever hat n paving plan will
be carried through here.
. The petition reads as follows:
1--WE, the undersigned residents and
property holders of the second paving
district (north of the Northern Pa
cifc railway in the city of East
Grand Forks, Mimi, and who would
be liable for the cost of a proposed
paving. petition your honorable body
that you take no steps at this time
toward the carrying out of any paving
project in said End. DIST: for the rea-
son that living expenses have been for
the last four years, and are still, ex-
ceedingly. high, the cost, of any paw
ing improvement now wouldAbe much
greater than the cost of a like i'm
.provement In normal times, and that
it would seem to us to be very. un-
wise to undertake any such improve
ments now. or until there has been
some considerable decrease in the cos
of living. and of paving improve
ments."
Attention was called to the fact
that the city has not been divided in
to paving districts. so THAT the refer
ence to the second paving district is
erroneous. although it may not in
validate the possible effect of the Pc
tition.
Altogether, sentiment in regard to
paving projects seems to stand about
two to one in favor of the work being
done.

Shooting in
Aiken County

Aiken, June S..Sibley B. Smith. a
white farmer, who resides near the
Beech Island section. fatally shot
John Lucille, a negro farm hand,
near his place Friday afternoon.
From the evidence submitted at the
coroner's inquest it appears that the
negro refused to so out to work be-
cause it was too wet. His employer.
Smith, then told him he believed that
Lucille was making moonshine liq-
uor for the rest of the hands and that
he would report him to the authori-
ties. Lucille, it is alleged. walked back
into his cabin as if to secure we2-
pom, remarking at the same time that
he would turn. someone else up.
Sibley Smith then left FOR his home
and had hardly reached the place
when looking from the window. he
saw the negro coming toward his
house. AS Mrs. Smith was III and il
was feared the negro would annoy
her, Mr.. Smith went out to meet the
darky. At the inquest Mr.. Smith testi-
fed that the farm hand drew a pistol
and fired point blank at him. where
upon Mr. Smith shot him down with
q shotgun.
The negro bore bad reputation
and has given the authorities trouble.

spected in this and his own COM

Washington, June 9.-Presidc7lt
Wilson, in a cablegram received today
by Senator Hitchcock, said he hoped
the investigation by the senate fore;gn
relations committee of how copies of
the peace treaty reached private M.
terests in New York would "be most
thoroughly prosecuted
President Wilson said he felt it was
highly undesirable officially to cona-
municate the text of a document
which is still in discussion and sub
ject to change and that anyone who
had in his possession the official Eng
lish text has what he is not entitled
to have or to communicate. This
statement said the president, strength
ened his official decision that he would
not comply with the request of senate
that the treaty text be furnished at
this time.
The full text of the peace treaty
with the central powers, which has
been discussed in the senate for a.
week or more, has been brought TO
this country by Frazier Hunt, the
Chicago Tribune correspondent apdsis
being syndicated to newspapers In This
country in copyrighted sections. The
first section appears today. Hunt
says TIE copy of the treaty he brought
here is one of the original draft anu
was obtained in Paris.

Red. Leader is Executed
Lenine Nissen Convicted by the
Bavarian Capital

Munich, Thursday, June 5 (By the
Associated Press)-Levine Nisseu,
the Bolsheviki agitator who was one
of the leaders of the Munich Com
munist Soviet regime, was executed
at noon today at Stadelheinn. outside
the capital. He was convicted yester-
day and the Bavarian cabinet refused
to commute his sentence, maintaining
that he was the cause Of the civil
war in Bavaria and deserved no
mercy.
1t seems probable that Levine
Nissen, named at Bolsheviki, is identi-
cal with the Bolshevik leader
who has figured so prominently in
the press dispatches in connection
