FOREIGN COURTS
IN CHINA YIELD
TO NATIVE RULE
.IMPERIALISTS FORCED NOW TO
SURRENDER POWER

SHANGHAI, July 13.- The most
movement for liberation from foreign
imperialiSt rule is registered in the
announcement, not yet officially made
of the withdrawal Of the foreign con-
trol over the international mixed
court and the consequent surrender
of the previous privilege claimed by
foreigners to be tried in foreign
courts for violations of Chinese laws.
Chinese authorities, with permission
of foreign consuls, have a right to
search foreigners premises.
The negotiations which have been
going on for over a year, following
the massacre of students and workers
by the foreign police troops that be-
gan at the Louza Barracks on May
go, last year, have ended in Chinese
authorities forcing the foreigners to
surrender complete control of all
cases between Chimes and where the
Chinese are defendants, with foreign
attorneys forbidden to appear.
The Chinese propose the creation of
a mixed court, under the jurisdiction
of the provincial authorities, subject
to the ratification of the Peking gov
eminent and the foreign diplomatic
corps. The surrender of the former
privileges will take effect all over
Chine, it is understood.
Foreign lawyers who have had fat
pickings in the foreign courts, at a
meeting have expressed resentment
against the settlement.

Caillaux Speaks for
Dictatorship; Britain
Holds Gold of France

PARIS, July 13.-Spealing in his
''home town" of lie Mans, finance
minister Caillaux for the first time
openly advocated a dictatorship for
France (for himself) when, as he
states, "in certain times the country
must give the men who hold the helm
the means necessary to accomplish
their purposes.
"The representatives of the country
are there to choose the men. Once
chosen, let them work freely. Parties
must fade into the background and
group around the man who assumes
the ungrateful task of saving French
finances"
Paris papers declare that as soon
as the F'ranco-British debt pact is
signed the Bank of England will re-
turn to the Bank of France $500, ,000,-
900 gold francs which it now holds
and will extend credits to France.
This is the first time it has been Of
ficially disclosed that England was
practically holding the French treas
ury a security for the debt.
Caillaux is said to be insistent that
the British agreement will forbid any

HEALTH REVIEW
By State Dept. Of Public Health
Spotted Fever

The 1926 spotted fever season is
about over. During this season there
have been 25 cases reported in the
State with 10 deaths, giving fatali-
ty rate of 40 per cent. This is a
higher fatality rate than usual but
the number of cases have been fewer
this year than in recent years. Cases
were reported from the following
counties:
Ravalli county, cases, 1 death;
Missoula county, 2 cases, 2 deaths;
Mineral county, / case, 1 death; Gold
en- Valley county, case; Garfield
county, 2 cases; Wheatland county,
1 case, l death; Custer county, 3
cases; Big Horn county, 2 cases, 1
death; Yellowstone county, 2 cases,
death; Lews & Clark county, 1
case; Rosebud county, 2 cases, l
death; Fallon county, case, death;
Valley county, case; Phillips coun-
ty, 2 cases, l death.
1 case Of tick paralysis occurred IN
Flathead county. The child died.
During the season about 625 peo-
pie were vaccinated against spotted
fever with the Spencer Parker vac
cine. No cases have developed IN per-
sons receiving the full number of
vaccinations. Two mild cases of the
disease occurred in persons infected
shortly after the first dose. 1t will
take some time to prove the value
of this vaccine, but the results at
the present time are very favorable.
DR.. Parker will give full report of
this work at the meeting of health
officers at Billings on July 18th.
Tick Parasite
Experiment
Much interest has been manifested
recently in the possibility of tick con-
1 troll by means of a parasite. Two
years ago DR.. Brumpt, in his labor
atory in France, discovered a para
1 site to our woodtick. AT that time
we made an attempt to have the gov
eminent undertake an investigation
with a view to determining the feast
bility of introducing this parasite in
to Montana, but nothing was done at
that time.
DR.. Larrouse, an associate of DR.
! Brumpt, has recently arrived in Bos-
ton with some of these parasites and
is now conducting experiments on the
Island of Naushen, off the coast oi
Massachusetts, with a view Of rid.
ding that island of dermacentor var
iabilis, an eastern tick with habits
similar to our western woodtick.

University, has sent Prof. R. A. Coo

"Cosmic Ray" Discovery
 Is Further Confirmed

Pasadena, Calf, Oct. 2S Pl - New discoveries confirming existence of the "cosmic ray" were an nounced here by Dr. Robert A Millikan, head of the California Institute of Technology. upon his return from South America, where he conducted scientific experiments in the Andes mountains. His dis covery of the cosmic ray was an- nounced a year ago.
 Dr. Millikan explained that the object of his journey was to get accurate data as to the source and the range of frequency of the rays. While withholding his findings, Dr. Millikan announced his experiments confirmed that the cosmic ray is constantly hitting the earth from every direction and that it is the most penetrating ray known.
 Although they are the shortest rays, they will pierce through sir feet of lead, Dr. Millikan explained.

INDIANS ARRIVE FOR GRID GAME
Also Will Aid in Dedicating
 Haskell Stadium

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 2S.-LPl- Interpretations of civilization by young vanishing Americans" create strange conflicts in tepee councils here as Haskell Institute gridiron stars mingle with hundreds of h. dians, from score of tribes, as- sembled to dedicate a huge stadium Saturday as a memorial to the athletic prowess of red men.
 As the hour for the stadium cere- monies hears, delegations of from 20 to 150 arrive to be welcomed with free beef and a place for the squaws to pitch the family tepee.
 4 series of feasts has marked the festivities for two days, and promises to be broken only by the demands of the children that the elders attend the football game Sat urday when Haskell meets Bucknell university of Lewisburg. Pa.
 Arrival of the Kaws, Pawnees and Kickapoos yesterday added to the social problem as with such an as- sembly there is no common language. The elders move about the camps, talking in the sign language, while the squaws from widely separated reservations have but one common word-"Wo-hah"- mean ing beef. Four bison have been fat tened for the barbecue fires to- morrow in addition to 12 beeves.
 Presentation of Longfellow' 'Hiawatha" last night was the first severe test for the elders in fore going the call of tom toms which certain delegations insisted on beat ing outside the stadium where an all-Indian cast staged the drama.
 Led by Chief Two Guns White Calf, whose profile appears on the Buffalo nickel, the Blackfeet for a time threatened the Hiawatha at- traction. Restless chiefs were quilted with cigars. while the only laugh was obtained when Hiawatha, cast ing stones at his enemy, scored di- rect hits on members of the cast backstage.
 The program was less exacting to- day, leaving the Osages and Qua paws to discuss their rich oil grants and the Blackfeet to arrange new dance contests.
