MONEYS DUE TO
COUNTIES TIED UP

Bismarck, N. D., July 28.-Approxi-
mately $380,000 collected by the state
motor vehicle registration depart
ment and due to the various counties
of the State is tied up in the Bank
of North Dakota. ~.
As a result the counties and their
political subdivisions are being ham,
pered in the development of their
road work, and with the, season al
ready we'll advanced it is doubtful if
any part of the tremendous sum col
lected by he state from the automo-
bile owners will become available this
year.
Under the motor vehicle registra-
ton act, moneys collected are divided
between the state highway commits
sion, which receives $150.O00 for its
own maintenance and for the main
tenanec Of the registration depart
ment, while the balance is appor-
toned to the counties.
However, all of the money paid by
the car owners has been deposited in
the Bank of North Dakota with the
result that it is died up along with
the other big sums that have been
used by the state administration for
purposes other than those for which
the money has been collected from
the axpayers.
Examination here discloses that a
book distribution of the fund has
been made, but that in fact checks
have not gone forward to the coun-
ties for the money that is due them,
The motor fund is in about the
same position as the state school ap-
portionment and many other funds

ATHLE1 E.,S WIN
I'm v. c. nine

The fclloI z 6 account Of the ball
game last 70 ht at Fargo is taken
from the CT 6 er-News this morning.
This may be 3 e correct version of the
game but W s re informed that grand
larceny is onsible for Fargo win
ming the 6 J, as it was practically
wen by the pire. However, we know
notn.ng mo- about it and give the re-
port IS We get it.
The Fargo Athletics won the second
of three-game series with Valley
City last evening, A to 2, and evened
the count of the number of games
won by each team. Each has won four.
The deciding game will be played at
the new park at 6:10 this evening.
AS in the last game with Devils
Lake played here, Fargo touched the
opposing pitcher for enough hits to
win the game, with runs to spare.
Four hits in the eighth inning. brought
in three scores for the locals, after
Valley City had forged ahead in
their part Of the seventh inning.
The score was tied at the end Of the
seventh, and Klein, first man up for
the visitors, was hit by pitched
ball, was forced to second on pass
issued Schanlaub, and scored no an
4 error by Boardman, who muffed
Lenahan's perfect throw Of Goheen's
grounder.
Valley City had men on bases in
every inning but two, as did Fargo.
Both pitchers frightened in the pinch
es, however, and neither team had
/. the push to send their men in.
Fargo started the scoring in the
second. Boardman doubled against
the left field fence and scored on
singles by Jordan and McNee. Valley
City advanced man as far as third
in the first of the second but were
unable to bring him in.
The game was a splendid exhibi-
;tion of tight baseball until the
eighth when both clubs scored. Klein
countd for Valley City. Slyter sin
bled in the locals half and took sec
ond when McInearney was hit by a
pitched ball. Both were brought in
on Boardman's double, his second in
the game. Charley crossed the plate
on Gavin's single. This completed
the scoring.
Fargo presented slightly changed
lineup with Lenahan at third and
Boardman at first Lenahan ac-
cepted four difficult chances making
perfect throws to first on each of
them. Boardman gathered two hits
and played snappy game.
Valley City has been considered
as the locals only obstacle to the
state championship, having won
four games previous te the present
series. The locals have won both
games played so. far, thus evening the.
count and leaving the decision to this
evenings game. Both managers are
striving to win the odd game and To-
cal fans can promise themselves the
fastest baseball that has been played
here this season at tonight's game.

HERBERT WESTON
DIES SUDDENLY

The passing away Of one of our old
time citizens last night about six
o'clock came as distinct shock to the
people Of Valley City. Mr.. Weston
had been making arrangements to go
down to Sheldon to help his son Bert,
on the farm. He had been over to the
postoffice about five o'clock to have
his mail address changed to Sheldon
and apparently at that time was all
right. He had packed his suitcase and
we are told was sitting on the porch
Of his house at the corner of Fourth
avenue and Fifth street awaiting the
arrival of the street car to go over to
the 500 railroad. At the time the
car was coming along and Mr.. Weston
made no move to get up some child
rem living in the same building called
to him that the car was coming and
that if he did not hurry he would miss
it. He did not answer and the second
time one of the children went up to
him and touched him and then dis
covered that he had passed away. The
only thing that can be attributed to
his sudden death is heart failure. The
remains were taken in charge by Mar
tin Somdahl and disposition of them
and the time and place Of the funeral
has not been set until the arrival Of
Bert Weston, who we understand, is
expected here this morning. Mrs
Weston has been at Portland, Oregon
for the past three years or so. In ad-
dition to the widow the deceased has
several sons. Herbert Weston has
been a landmark around Valley City
for long time. He was good-na-
tured man. always having a kindly
word for his many friends, and his
passing away will be regretted by
many friends in the city and county.

65,O2l SlCNERS
FOR THE RECALL

Recall petition signers numbe,
5,021 today. y.S
This represents a tremendous in.
crease in the number since Saturday
There still are more than 500 peti-
tions in circulation at various points
in the state. according to officials at
the headquarters Of the Independent
Voters league in Fargo.
The goal is $4,000 signers.
adams county has reported more
signers for the recall petitions than
there were votes for ]. F. T. O'Con-
nor in the election last November
said O. L. Engen, of the I. V. A. to-
day. Steele is another county that
has exceeded the O'Connor vote
while the Fifth legislative district in
Grand Forks county, with a big
showing already, bids fair to be the
banner district in the state"
Minot After Record
Minot, N. D., Aug 2.-Minot is not
going to be satisfied with signatures
on the recall petitions numbering 80
percent of the O'Connor vote. With
three more precincts to hear from:
the result after the cleanup drive is
$500. The O'Connor vote was 2,750.
The returns from the three missing
precincts, Independents claim, will
bring the total up to practically 100
per cent of the O'Connor vote.
The signers have been listed alpha
betically and checked with the vot-
ers' lists. Men familiar with the po-
litical affiliations Of Minot residents
claim many who have supported the
league have signed the recall petit
tions.

bers including those In custody. These
notices will be addressed to the prisons
where they are held. and 1t will then
he for the authorities to decide whether
the prisoners are released. 1t Is antici-
pated that this will promptly be done.
Eamon de Valera has informally sub
mitted to all available members of the
Irish Republican Parliament the peace
proposals Of Prime Minister LLOYD
George, 1t is declared by the Daily
Sketch.
Austen Chamberlain, Government
leader. stated In the House of Commons

Soviet and France Seek
Settlement of Old Debt

Special Cable to THE NEw YoRK HERALD.
Copyright, 1881, By THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, Aug. z.
THE NEW YORK HERALD
correspondent has been in
formed by usually reliable
sources that negotiations have
begun between Louis Loucheur,
French Minister of the Liberated
Regions, and Gregory Krassine,
Bolshevist Minister of Ways and
Communications, with a view to
settling the question of Soviet
recognition of the old Russian
regimes debt to France. M. Kras-
sine in recent conversations IN
London is understood TO have
said that Russia was anxious to
eliminate this controversy and
establish economic relations with
France on the same basis as was
recently arranged with England.
M. Loucheur when told of this is
said to have agreed. This will
remove the greatest stumbling
block to full aid to Russia, and II
settled will mean the pouring out
of all that France is able to give
in relief. Rumors to this effect,
current for several days, resulted
to-day in the Bourse being
flooded with demands for Rus
sian securities, with few avail
able.

press declares openly and cynically, let
the masses perish by famine If they will

BOYLES SILENT OVER
DAUGHTERS ACTIONS
Friends Discount Paris Re-
ports She Tilted Frenchnun.

Special Despatch TO THE New YoRK HERALD
NEW CASTLE, Pa, Aug. Little cred
ence Is given here to the statement in
the Paris dispatches to the New YORK
HERALD that Miss Charlotte Boyles Of
this city has decided 10 marry an
American, instead of Guy Trepinard, a
young Frenchman. she rejoined in Paris
after a clandestine departure from her
home here last July g. The belief held
here is that Miss Boyles already has
married young Trepinard
No Comment whatever was obtainabiu
from David Boyles. father Of the ad-
venturous young woman. One news
paper reporter who tried to obtain an
interview with him was unceremoniously
ordered from the place. Whether
Boyles has received any private advices
concerning the reported change In his
daughters plans Is not known here.
A postcard received from Miss Boyles
by close friend. Miss Sarah Falls. and
dated July ~, Paris. reads as follows:
Dear SaYlie-Well. we didn't play
tennis, did we? You know now where
am. | suppose. want the world to
La. IT Is wonderful. am leaving for
Germany tomorrow. l bought a Paris
hat. a dear. Get my address from Dr.
Boyles. Love. Charlotte"
Another card. received by Miss Jessie
Nelson. says When you receive this
card I'll be Madame Trepinard."
No attempt is made by Miss Boyless
friends here to explain the cabled report
that she has changed her mind. They
merely express the opinion that the
messages received from Miss Boyles in
dicating her matrimonial plans bear the
stamp OF finality and they ;ook for later
news to confirm their belief that she Is
now Madame Trepinard."
Boyles is estimated to be worth at
least S1,000,000.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Pinkerton detec-
tives and officials of the Southeastern
Express Company searched Chicago to-
day in quest OF a clue that would throw
some light on the mystery surrounding
the alleged disappearance of $4,000

y. c.. by CASTOR B. Means June % to
Roy d. Keehn of Chicago.
The money was shipped by express

The estate has been in the courts for
years. through the efforts of Means.

King. to probate an alleged second will
of her husband, James c. King.

II opened the package in the presence
of my secretary and officials or the
express company and it's contents were

SALVATION ARMY is ASKED
TO ASSIST STARVING RUSSIA
Continued from First Page.

That at least is the gist OF information
from Soviet Russia.
Now that serious reduction IN the
bread ration has been made In Mos
cow and Petrograd, the ultra-Commun-
lists engaged there IN drawing up fan
tastic schemes have had rude awaken
ing and see that Lenine was wise in
throwing the main principle OF Boil
shevism overheard four months ago.
They see that he is more far sighted
than they: consequently they now offer
no opposition to the radical changes
which he has proposed. and will vel
come foreign concessionaries, foreign
goods and free trace.
Not only that, but even most intransi-
gent Communists will see how foolish 1t
is to devote. all their efforts to the pro-
motion of world revolution when they
have famine at home. Hunger is tanning
them and making them reasonable,
though 1t may have the opposite effect
on the peasants Even Trotzky at pres
ent is ready to eat out of the foreign
capitalists hand.
