HAWAII ARMY
MADElARGER
War Department Nearly Triples
Forces There-Stirred by Jap
anese Military Activity.

Army reinforcements aggregatine
l2S per cent for the defense OF
Hawaii and nearly 800 per cent for
the Panama Canal Zone are being
quietly mobilized by the War De-
partment. it is learned from the
highest official source.
JAPAN JINGOIsM SPUR.
Although this step is being taken
army officers insist, without refer
ence to any other nation as a prob
able or possible enemy, IL developed
that the War Department started its
plans when it became apparent that
negotiations between American Am
bassador Morris ana Japanese Am
bassador Shidehara were being at
tended with little progress and whe a
jingoism became rampant in Japan.
There are now 1000 officers and
men at Hawaii and 1000 at Panama.
These forces will be increased to a.
900 at each place.
Stan officers read with interest the
article by Joseph Timmons in the
Hearst newspapers, setting forth the
results of his investigation OF Jap
anese activities in Hawaii and the
former German islands in the North
Pacific.
They pointed out that this article
confirmed recent dispatches from
washington stating that the Carolina
Island and the Marshall group were
hainU fnrti6al h,- nd hat ha
Japanese had exacted pledge Of allegi-
ance from the people
1t was cited that as the Island of
zap lies just southwest of the Ameri-
can outpost at Guam, neither the
military nor the diplomatic relations
of Japan and the United States can
be made any more cordial by Japan's
ifsistence of her right to fortify Yap.
MORE RESERVES GOING.
The sending of reinforcements to
Hawaii and Papama will continue un-
less Congress interferes. There arc
no intimations that congress will in
tervene, however, especially in the
light of news from all quarters as to
the activities of Japan.
The Hawaiian Island of Oahu, II
was explained today by army stra-
tegists, is the immediate key OF the
situation. AS they put it,-"Whoever
holds Oahu can hold the islapds."
1t was admitted that a weakness
has been found in the former theory
as to the safety OF Oahu from ex-
ternal attack.
One suggestion which will probably
be carried out is that the reinforce
ments shall consis, certainly of mo-
bile artillery for coast defense in
Oahu.

PACKERS ROW
GOES TO DAVIS
ENJOYS of Both Sides Submit
Case to Labor Secretary.
Employees Stand Pat.

The friendly offices of the new
Administration were injected into a
labor dispute for the first time today
in an attempt to adjust peaceably
the differences between the packers
aAd their employees and to avert the
strike that is threatened.
EMPLOYEES TO STAND PAT.
Both the packers and the employees
sent their representatives here to con
fer with Secretary of Labor Davis.
Secretary OF Commerce Hoover and
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace will
also sit in at the conference, as any
thing affecting the packing industry
affects their respective departments.
The employees interests are repre-
sented by Dennis Lane. Secretary of
the Meat Cutters Union. and Red
mond Brennan. The packers are rep
resented by their attorneys. Carl
Meyer and James G. Condor.
After comforting with American
Federation of Labor officials. Lane
said the employees would stand square
ly on the arbitration agreement which
was effected during the war ami was
extended year "after the proclama-
tion Of peace" 1t is the employees
contention that the packing houses
have flagrantly disregarded that
agreement by cutting wages, length
ening the hours of work, and refusing
to arbitrate. The unions contend that
the country is not yet at peace.
EMPLOYEES STATE CASE.
Secretary of Labor Davis received
the employees representatives alone
this forenoon to allow them to pres
ent their side of the efPne
packers already have laid their case
before the reviewers. After the
unions had conferred with Davis,
there was to be a general conference
embracing both sides and the three
cabinet members-Davis, Wallace. and
Hoover. All. the meetings were in
executive session.
The Governments mediators cS.
pected to find the hardest problem
recognition of the union, which the
men are prepared to stand squarcly
behind. Working out of mutually
agreeable hours of work and wages
was expected to be accomplished after
some parleying, but IL the conference
splits up, 1t is believed 1t will! BE- on
the question of union recognition
Both sides were reported to be adam
ant on this point.
Just before the morning conference
took place Brennan, attorney for the
employees, said the sole object of the
conference was to obtain from the
packers a continuation of the war
time agreement.

CASE INVOLVING
HAIL LOSS GOES
TO HIGH COURT
Supreme Court to Decide if Neg
ligence Prevents Loss Be-
ing Paid

The supreme court has today before
it the states appeal from decision of
District Judge W. l.. Nuessle, OF Bur-
leigh county, involving important
points in the 1919 hail insurance law.
Henry Bossen, of Mercer county, pc
titioned the district court for writ
of mandamus to compel the hail in
surance department To place his name
upon the lists of those who suffered
losses.
The case involves whether or not
the hail insurance department is liza
BILE to pay losses for hail in the event
the assessor failed to list the land
for assessment.
Bossen claimed to have been the
owner of cropped land A hail loss
was suffered July q, 1920, and the
adjuster allowed him S1.165 The
plaintiff accepted the judgment. The
assessor certified as to the number Of
acres cropped. The insurance depart
ment refused to pay the loss, however
on the ground that it was not 'nable
since the land was not assessed for
hail insurance taxes.
Attorney General Lemke, in his
brief for the insurance department
denies the liability Of the state, as
serting that the assessor, whose duty
it was to, make return Of tillable
land, did not do so, and 1t therefore
Is presumed it was not tillable land
The owner was bound by law to make
report of the number Of acres OF
cropped land. it is alleged.
About twenty-five claims are affect
ed. the amount being several thousand
dollars.
The now hail law was changed to
provide specifically that the hail In
surance department will not be liable
unless land is listed for assessment.

TW0-YEAR TERM
Supreme Court Rules he is Not
Entitled to a New
Trial
FOR CATTLE RUSTLlNG
Case Attracted Much Atten-
ton Throughout Sioux
and Other Counties

Jack Guyer, sentenced from Sioux
county for cattle rustling, must COM
plete his two years and nine months
sentence, the supreme court has de~
cided.
Guyer was granted a new trial by
District Judge Hanley, on the ground
that the description of the animals al.
legged to have been stolen was different
from the description given in the In
formation. The supreme court, re-
versing the decision of Judge Hanley
to grant a new trial. holds that there
was not a fatal variance in the de-
scription.
Guyer, was convicted of grand lar
ceny, in July, 1920, sentenced to serve
two years in the penitentiary, and the
motion for new trial is granted Dec
30, 1920. Guyer has been in the pen'-
tentiary during this time.
The opinion of the court was ex
pressed by Chief Justice Robinson
Judge A. NJ. Christianson, specially
concurring, recited that the complain
ing witness described the animals, tla'
no objection was offered by the de'
fendant that the description was dl1
ferent from that contained in the in
formation, and that when the prose
cution suggested that the jury view
the animals no objection was offered
Justice Robinson said that "theri
was. no variance which in any wa!
misled the defendant or prevented MN
from maintaining his defense on the
merits"

CAN'T ATTEND
CONCERT, BUT
TAKE TICKETS
Committee Holds There is NO
Excuse For Not Helping
Band

The fact that person is not able to
go to the annual band concert, to be
given at the Auditorium Friday night
is no excuse for not buying a ticket,
the committee in charge of the ticket
sales have ruled.
Three purchases of $25 worth OF
tickets were reported yesterday by
citizens who desire to help the band
obtain enough money in its benef1.
concert to pay its running expenses
for the summer.
The ticket sale is in charge of Rob-
ert Webb. Three teams, composed of
4. w. Lucas and C. w. McCray, al
Rosen and Scott Derrick and G. Il.
Thompson and Obert Olson. were again
busy to day selling tickets.
The price of the tickets was reduc-
ed this year, and the committee will
have to sell third more tickets to
bring the same amount Of money a.
was obtained for the band last year.
If the band concert is successful, it
is probable that arrangements will be
made to get new uniforms and enlarge
the band. If the management is as
sured that the people of the band are
for it, they hope to make great strides
this year.
Band musicians declare the pro-
gram to be played Friday night will be
the best the band has played.
