KAISER OWNS MILLIONS IN UNITED STATES man commerce after the war would be hampered. The kaiser is the majority owner of a silk mill in Paterson, N. J. As a stockholder in a Chicago pack- ing company, the kaiser is reputed to have piled up wealth at the expense of the Allies and the American public. Investigating Holdings, It. is rumored the federal govern- ment is investigating the extent of Wilhelm’s holdings, with the idea that if the government should not confis- cate property of individual German citizens, exception should be made in Government Pini to Take All the kairer’s case, on the ground that His Holdings in Event of Hostilities HIS INTERESTS HELD IN NAME OF DUMMIES Federal Government Reported to Be Investigating Extent of Wealth Washington, March 27.—Ten mil- lion dollars worth of United States stocks are owned by the kaiser and members of his family and may be confiscated by the United States gov- ernment in’ case of war. Facts just made public indicate Wil- helm’s concern over reaffirmation of treaties guaranteeing Germans’ per- sonal property against 5 have been caused by personal rather than national reasons. Fancy For Railroad Blocks, The kaiser is one of the greatest ofj Americah property owners. He had a-fancy for railway securities. When the war began he is said to have pos- sessed $4,000,000 in stocks and bonds of the Santa Fe, Union and Southern Pacific, and other western lines. These shares were held in the name of dummies or Gormen brokerage houses in’ New’ Yor! Kalserin Holds jtait Million, “The kaiserin herself holds half a million in American securities. Prince Henry while in this country is said to have made investments for himself totaling several millions. There is evidence that agents of the kaiser have made stock market clean- ups on strength of advance informa- tion from Berlin, The kaiser is said to have large Jand holdings in America, much more valuable now than when bought 20 years ago. He is part owner of the North G man Lloyd and Hamburg-American lines, which have $20,000,000 in ships tied up in American ports. Without these ships, re-establishment of Ger- ure may} his autocratic relations to'the govern- ment make his holdings, in ef-ect, the property of the German state. This property, if confiscated, would be converted into the United States federal treasury. MAN WHO RUNS SECOND CANNOT BECOWE FIRST Supreme Court Decides That H. L. Woll Was Not Choice for Superintendent of Schools A man who was second in a race jfor a pubile office must remain sec- ond, even though the candidate why finishes first may be disqualified, rules the North Dakota supreme court in affirming the decision of the Morton county district court in the case of Woll versus Jensen. H, L, Woll and H. K. Jensen were candidates for superintendent of schools in Morton county at the last election. Jensen’ finished first, and Woll then’ contested ‘his office on the ground that Woll is not qualified und- er the laws of North Daktota to be superintendent of schools. The ruling of the Morton county district court. against Woll now is confirmed. ‘The supreme court says: “A min- ority vote for a qualified candidate does not entitle such candidate to the office, even though the candidate re- ceiving the highest number of votes was disqualified to hold the office, and such fact was known to the voters at the time of the election. However, the failure of the qualified candidate to receive a plurality of the votes cast renders the election a nulli Which means that.

Oeder Succumbs Before Operation Is Per- formed | In the death Monday afternoon of Rev. Edward C. Oeder of Lehr, in the Bismarck hospital, the Evangelical denomination has lost one of its fore- most ministers of the state. Recog- nized as one of the leaders in that one of his charges to his home in Lehr. For some time he had suffered from gallstones, but had an aversion to an operation. He seemed to have a feeling that he would never recover from one, and despite the efforts of relatives and friends to have it per- formed he would not consent. He was removed to the Bismarck hospi- tal only last Sunday, but his condi- tion was such as to prevent the oper- ation. He never fully regained con- sciousness, but at times knew mem- bers of the family and friends. He was born near Scott, Wis., and early in life studied for the ministry. He was a man of broad mind and was recognized as one of the big men of the Evangelical church, For a num- ‘ver of years he was located in Mil- ‘bank, S. T., later locating in North Dakota. The widow and two sons, Walter. aged 19, and Leon, aged 7, survive. The body was taken today to Lehr, where funeral services will be con-' ducted. Later it will be taken to Mil- bank, S. D., where services will be conducted in the Evangelical church’ at that plsce and interment made Rev, William Suckow of this city will conduct the services in Lehr, which will be held in the church of which he: ‘was pastor at the time of death.
