Archer, the famous dramatic critic says, "It is with A Doll House that Ibsen enters upon his kingdom as a world’s poet.” Those who have read the story ‘or seen the play will agree with Mr. Archer.

HELD "IN BOND OF $500 State Officials in Section of Minnesota Affected Declare That ‘the Defend- ants Had No Right to Take Action Comglained Of—United States Dis trict Attorney Will Apply for Re tease of Prisoners. @rookston, Minn., Ogt. 9.—The ten agents of the United States Indian service who were arrested in Mahno- wen on Wednesday were placed in the Creokston jail in default of $500 bail each. F:'S. Oakley, assistant to the United States district attorney, who is represeiting them, will drrive here shortly with their appifeations for writs of habeas ccrpus. ir. Oakley wiil present the applicitions to the fedural ionrt n this city. ¥ Phe men‘uhder arrest are charged with malicious’ destructisn in connec- tion wilh the raiding of folr saloons in’ Mahuomen, two in ‘Waibon and two in Calloway. They contend that section 2140 of the federal statutes gives them authority to'Seizé and de- stroy liquor found in ‘Indian tefritory. They say that the old tresty by which most of Minnesota was cdded by the Chippewas is still in force and defines what ie Tndian country. They were arrested after they had entered the saloons and destroyed the liquor. Says It Is a Test Case. “It is a test case,” said Mr. Oakley, attorney for the government. “The point involved is whether state courts and officers can interfere with federal officers while in the performance of their duty. We claim -that the men under arrest were acting under the federal law and witkin- their author- ity.” C. C. Cooper of Mahnomen, acting county attorney, who represents the state, maintains that the raids were without authority. “We contend,” he said, “that the In- dian service deputics have ro right to come into an incorporated village and do as these men have done. The saloons raided ware licensed by the village and not-by the government. ‘We contend that the proprietors wers vmhung no law.” Mayor Hawkiason of Mahnomen ex- pressed the sentiment of those behind the proecuticn when he sald: “We want the Indian agent and every one else to vnderstand that when they come to Mahnomen they must: behave.” TO PROBE WAR TRICKERY Court Will Try Engineers Who Forti- fied Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, O-t. 9—The govern- ment has announced the personnel of a court of ten members, five military and five civil officials, who will try the engineers who superintended the for- tificntions of Port Arthur.; The determinaticn to try the engi- neers is the result of an official inves- tization just completed. The investi- gators discovered that the fortress was not one-tenth as strong as the St. Petersburg authorities had been led to belleve. Military circles concede that it was extraordinary that the officers were able to hold the fort as long as they did against the Japanese. The engineers, the investigation de- cided, received enormous sums of money, which they pocketed, either doing nothing at all to strengthen the fortifications or throwing up defenses which generally had little more eco- nomic value.
