LIQUOR LIBEL PLAN
: BLOW TO LONDON
Regret Expressed That U. S.

LONDON, December 21.-Regret was
expressed in governmental quarters
yesterday over the report that federal
authorities in New York intended to
start libel proceedings for the con-
demnation and destruction OF large
quantities of liquors and wines seized
during the summer from the steamers
Mauretania and Saxonia and other
passenger vessels, after the Supreme
Court had rendered its decision de-
claring that the bringing of alcoholic
beverages into American ports, even
under seal. was Illegal.
AS. the dispatches received here
from the United States Indicate that
action by the federal authorities had
been held in abeyance pending the
outcome OF the search at-sea regula-
lions under discussion by the Ameri-
can and British governments, it was
made clear today by British officials
that no hitch had occurred in the ex-
change Of views between London and
Washington, and that early compile

the American government right OF
search might be looked for.

delay in completing the treaty was
due to a desire of the two govern
Inents TO make the document as per
rect legally as possible, and one
when would stand any test it might
undergo. either in Congress. before
the Supreme Court or elsewhere.
The modified draft of the treaty as
returned from Washington contained
several amendments, which are en-
Sasing the attention of the foreign
office here.
As the original proposal to extend
the three mile limit was indorsed by
an nterdepartmental committee, COM
posed of foreign office, treasury and
board of trade officials, as we'll as by
the cabinet and the imperial confer
ence, it has been found necessary to
submit the revised draft to all the de-
partments of government for ap-

500 DECIDES
AGAINST ANY
TRAIN CHANGE
Desire to Avoid Injury to
Bismarck Business Men Re-
spOnsible, 1t Is Stated

The 500 line today withdrew its ap-
plicatiOn to establish mixed train
service on the south line out of Bis
marck during the summer months,
Superintendent S. w. Derrick an
nOunced today
The action was taken, it was stat
ed, because OF the feeling among
business men of Bismarck that they
would suffer considerably from the
proposed change, and the 500 was ac-
tuated by a spirit Of friendliness and
desire to aid Bismarck business men
and Bismarck generally in it's bust
ness and development.
The 500 will continue its service
as at present, although the branch is
operated at loss during summer
months, Supt. Derrick said.
Supt. Derrick, returning from a
trip on the North 500. expressed the
opinion that crops are virtually as
far advanced now as they were at
this time last year, in spite of the
late spring. With the exception of
some loss on winter rye due to winter
kill the crops are in good shape, he
said.

WATER MATTER
GOES OYER TO
MONDAY NIGHT
City Commission Rejects
Pump Bids and Holds En-
gine Matter in Allegiance
EXTENSIONS GRANTED
All Contractors on Which
Contracts We're Held Open
Agree Extension to June IL

After wrestling with various phases
of the water works contracts this
week, the city commission adjourned
last evening after another four-hour
session to meet Monday night at y
o'clock
The commission and citizens COM
mittee devoted the time to consider
alton of pump bids and the question
of installing oil engines to supply
electric power to pump the water.
1t was decided to reject all pump
bids and advertise for new bids on
June rs. The oil engine matter was
left in allegiance.
1t was stated that the commissio ion
aKa committee favored type Of
pump for the plant which was the
highest in the pump bids and under
the law it was necessary if the COM
mission is to buy the apparatus it
wants to reject bids and advertise
for new ones.
I Replies were received from all con-
tkactors who we're asked to hold their
bids open until June IL, stating that
they would do SO, Mayor Lenhart
said.
The commission drew a contract
with City Engineer Atkinson which is
the same as the one under which ne
has been serving as city engineer,
but was drawn anew because the
commission has been reorganized in
the meantime. The contract is for
$50 month and five per cent of con-
tracts over $500. With respect to the
water works contract Mayor Lenhart
said the city engineer would pay for
the services of l.. P. Wolff, of st.
Paul, consulting engineer, other engi-
neers and all supervision necessary
in handing the plant natter
Mayor Lenhart said the commits
sion felt that Mr.. Atkinson's stand and
engineering advice had been fully
vindicated. The fact that low bids
on the new plant were about 81, ,OO0
under the estimate Of the city engt-
neer on a 100000 job was evidence
that there had been no guess-work
on the part of the engineering force
but that the matter had been gone
into thoroughly. He also said that
the bids indicated that Mr.. Atkinson
had given the commission good ad-
vice throughout regarding the value
OF the present water company plant.

WIND STAYS DOWN.

Duluth, June 2.-Continuation o1
favorable wind conditions in ths
northeastern Minnesota forest anC
brush fire area today found forestry
officials still hopeful that the favor
able eastern winds would bring q
drenching rain.
. Since the wind subsided 48 hours
ago the crews have made marked
headway toward establishing fire
lines and otherwise cutting of flames
Only some sections of the larger
fires remained uncontrolled.
Forestry officials stressed the dan
ger that would result from rising
winds. Calvin Dahlgren of Ely, su-
pervisor of the Superior National
Forest, considers the potential fire
menace to be the most SERIOUS in re-
cent years. John McLaren, district
FIRE chief for the National Service,
fears that the Superior National
would be swept from boundary to
boundary within few hours if
strong winds should develop before
rain quenches the fires and brings
out retarded vegetation.
