T-13-6t STRIKE CAUSES BUTTE OPERATORS 10 SHUT OOHN HORKS IRREGULARITIES LOST STATE Blt TAX ASSESSMENTS Carelessness in Describing Proper- ty Results in Two Adverse Decisions MINERAL RIGHTS CAN BE TAXED IF LISTED RIGHT The North Dakota tax commission lost a case but won 4 partial victory in the supreme court today, when an opinion was handed down holding that while mineral rights are legally tax- ible, in the particular action under vonsideration—the Northwestern [m- provement Co. versus Oliver county— the method pursued in listing the min- eral rights for taxation was so faulty as to render the assessment void. System Was Irregular. The county auditor of Oliver after the adjournment of the board of equal- ation inserted in the assessors’ books a description of the property in the name of the plaintiff, computing the taxes thereon, and extended the same on the tax list as taxes. ‘He then advertised the lands for sale for delinquent taxes and did sell the same at tax sale ,all without affording the plaintiff an opportunity to be heard on the assessment. Therefore, the court rules, the assessment is abso- lutely void. State Has Right. » subject of the state’s right ineral reserves, the court yays: Where tne grantor conveys Jand, reserving mineral rights, such ion is an interest in the land ly assessable against the grant- or from duty to pay tax on his reser- vations. fe: The court also ruled that such hier- aglyphics as ‘NW4-2-3-6-,” commonly used by county auditors in the des- cription of lands do not constitute an adequate or legal description and can- not be recognized as such by the su- preme court. It is suggested that this is a matter with which the legis- lature may well concern itself in its next session. Great Northern Wins. It was an off-day for the tax com- mission in supreme court, Chairman Packard’s body also losing its case against the Great Northern railway, Nash Bros. and Swift and Co., for the assessment of property owned hy the wholesalers and jobbers on the Great Northern right of way at the Forks. The court ruled that taxes are as- sessable against the lessors in addi- tion to the railway company, but that nothing had been established in the description of the county aduitor to mark out the property intended to be assessed, and that the description was so indefinite as to invalidate the as- sessment. A considerable amount of taxes is involved in each of these cases. PRO-GERMANS IN UNITED STATES AFFECT RUSSIA (Continued from Page One.) Butte, Mont., Aug. 24.—Because of the strike of the smelter men of the Washoe works at Anaconda, the Ana- conda Copper Mining Co. today an- nounced another shutdown of its property in Montana. Approximately 13,000 men will be directly affected. No guess work You can and have some foods know You will get good results heathful, whole- by using KG Bakinc Powper Ask your grocer—he knows it of the Russian people and cause them to lay down their arms. Every time a senator undertakes to hamstring his government by block- ing necessary legislation, casting dis- credit on the motives of America or endorsing this clever German man- euver or that, the news goes swiftly to Petrograd and the slimy creatures that do Germany’s work on the Field of Mars chuckle and are glad. They have been provided with a fine fresh lot of ammunition. The machinery to get it quickly to Russia as soon as it appears in the senate must have been set up long ago. There is no question that it is won- derfully alert, active and efficient. Special Commission. J For instance, the moment the spe- cial commission to Russia was sug- gested last April a flood of propagan- da was let loose to hamper its work. Kvery conceivable lie about it, its objects, the men that composed it, the government and people of the United States, the aims of the United States in the war, was turned loose by mail upon Russia and a battalion of agents sent along to spread the poison and see that it took hold. Germany's desperate need was that Russia should not be aggressive in the war. Germany must therefore nul- lity the efect of the commission’s vis- it, and there was the way to do it. All these things show very plainly the existence in this country of a monstrous and cunningly directed German machine. They also show. the appalling chan- ces that ignorant or disloyal men in congress take when they try to hob- ble this country in the great work it has undertaken to do. It is not for me to dwell upon a situation that drives thoughtful men abroad from their sleep, but I ask you merely these questions: - At this stage of the game, what do you think would happen if Germany were to break through that Russian line? And what can keep her from bréak- ing through but the spirit and united purpose of the Russian people? When I arrived in this country I read in the American newspapers many undeservedly bitter things about Russia because part of her troops had wavered. If they waver again, say no bitter} things about Russia. Say them about certain men and certain newspapers in the United States, for they alone will be to blame. Not only for that day’s work but for the colossal disaster and years of low.

WY. 00 Mrs. Henry Haas’ has passed her examination as a’ Red Cross nurse and ambulance driver and is ready to sail from New York to do her share for the allies. But when she enlists it will be a double enlistment, for her dog Tristan has also been thoroughly trained and will go with her. Though Tristan is a German police dog Mrs. Haas expects him to drag more woun- ded allies to her ambulance than sev- eral ambulance assistants could re- cover from the battlefield. HOUSTON SCENE OF RAGE HOTS (Continued fr Page One.) after the rioting troops ceased to fire, those in camp were calling for ammu- nition and making threats. Girl Is Killed. Tt was not until the negroes reached the outskirts of the city that the kill- ing began. Alma Reichert, 15 years old, the first victim, was shot by a stray bullet as she was secking safety in a store. Sixteen truck loads of national guardsmen were rushed to the seat of the trouble, and all the streets were put under patrol. More than 100 armed negro soldiers were said to have hid. under'-build- ings in the vicinity of the baseball park. With their high-power rifles they pursued their sniping tactics. Preserve Military: Order, Those who saw the force of negroes as they raided through the western end district say they Were not lack- ing in order, but were-keeping close to the fences. They wene shouting de- flance and talking joudly. Earl Findley, with ted: Schofield, was dragged froin an automobile, kicked to the ground arid thrown into a ditch. Findley was found dead, his body pierced by more than a dozen bullets, while Schofield was wounded in both arms. " Co. G, Eighth Illinois. infantry, was not involved in’ the trouble in any way. " Congressman Wires. Congressman Hagle listened atten- tively to all the reports which came in at midnight and sent this tele- gram: “Houston, Texas, Midnight, Thurs- day, Aug. 23. To Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.: “As congressman from this district, I report death and wounding of sev- eral persons as a result of sending negro soldiers here. Without stating who is to blame, it is clearly a race riot and is a tragedy sufficient to compel the statement that it is a tragic blunder to send negro troops to southern camps. I protested vig- orously against the Illinois negro sol- diers ordered to Houston being sent. By all means order them to northern training camps and order negro troops being sent here stopped.” (Signed) “JOM H. BAGLE.” Started Over Negress. Major K. S. Snow, commanding the battalion of- negroes, made this state- ment at two more occurrences Thurs- day that crystalized fecling among the men of his command: “Thursday morning a Houston po- lice officer arrested a negro woman, and in doing so, 1 am informed, he slapped her face. A soldier of the 24th, who had been drinking, remon- strated with the policeman for what he considered his unnecessary vio- lence. The officer then began beating the negro with his pistol butt. The man’s face and lips were badly cut. He was arrested by the same officer and taken to the station, where he is now held.” “None of His Business.” “Thursday afternoon, according to reports made to me by Corporal Bal- timore of my military police force, a soldier of my command, was arrested by an officer. Corporal Baltimore who was nearby wearing his military badge asked the policeman purely for HOTEL With new fire- proof annex —150 rooms—all outside All Modern Conveniences The only hotel in the down town district featuring room with private bath at $1.00 per day and up Rooms with running water 75¢ & up 4TH STREET SOUTH Between Hennepin and Nicollet MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. ——= information. why ‘the «man rested. , . “The policeman told him it was none of his business. He then, Cor- poral Baltimore and the arrested sol- dier both state, hit Baltimore over the head with his, pistol butt. Corporal Baltimore ran up the street, the po- liceman firing at him as he fled. He took refuge in a house under a bed. The policeman followed; dragged him out, used further abusive language, and struck him twice more with his pistol.” “When the men in camp heard of these occurrences ‘Ihursday after- noon, it excited them greatly ana they made open threats of retalia- tion.” General Hulen has a considerable force in the city and has been rein- forced with 350 coast guardsmen from Galveston, wh o have five machine guns. General Hulen believes the sit- uation is well in hand, and that there is small prospects of further trouble. Captain Mattes Killed. The killing of Captain Joseph W. Mattes of the Illinois Second Field Ar- tillery, was accompanied by extreme cruelty on the part of his slayers, ac- cording to reports. Wounded by rifle bullets, Captain Mattes was surrounded by the mutiny- ing soldiers and his body was riddled with bullets, hacked and stabbed in many places by bayonets. His skull was torn to bits, and when discovered it was almost unrecogniz- able. W. S. Wise, while trying to save an unknown wounded man was_ shot three times in the left arm and once in the back. He said: “I heard shooting and a man, whose name I never learned, fell apparently dying in the street. Blood was gush- ing from his breast. I rushed to his assistance, and called on an automo- bile driver for help. While we were trying to put the wounded man in the car, bullets spattered all about me. I could do nothing more, and soon became weak because of loss of blood.” TROOPS RUSHED TO HOUSTON Galveston, Aug. 24.—Kight special interurban cars left here early today with United States troops ,enroute to Houston to assist in the control of the situation, resulting from last night's disorder. One light field com- pany with a-supply of ammunition was taken along. The troops are in command of Major Spinks. A detach- ment of Quartermaster troops also left for Houston this morning. TO REMOVE TROOPS. Washington, Aug. 24.—The negro troops engaged in the rioting from Houston will be withdrawn from Tex- as immediately, Secretary Baker to- day told Senator Sheppard of Texas. Reports from Major General Parker, commanding the southern division said the situation was. under control, and that no further rioting was feared. The secretary did not indicate to Senator Sheppard where the negro troops would be sent or what troops would be substituted to carry on con- struction work at, the cantonment site. Secretary Baker did not say wheth- er the withdrawal of the 24th Infan- try detachment from Texas forecastea a new policy which would keep ne- gro troops, out of the southern states. Sheppard said he would ask that no negro troops, except those of Texas, be sent here for training. POLICEMAN HOLDS EW FOUR AT BAY UNTIL ASSISTANGE COMES ‘San Francisco, Aug. 24.—Charges of murder and assault with the intent to commit murder were placed against four men arrested early today follow- ing the killing of James Waters. a conductor, and wounding of two oth- ers during a shooting affray between the car crew of the United Railway and strike sympathizers last night Eighteen men were arrested. last night when they forced an entrance into the home of Policeman Manuel Rose, while his family was sleeping. The men told Rose they were search- ing for a striker. Rose held the men with a revolver, while his daughter telephoned for the police. DESTROYED BY FIRE. At Atlantic Port, Aug. 24—The Standard Oil steamship Navjo, de- stroyed by fire at sea Aug. 15 while homeward bound, had an encounter with a submarine and sank the enemy vessel with her gun after a four hours’ battle, according to members of the crew who arrived today on an Ameri- can steamer. The destruction of the Navjo was caused by the explosion of a fuel pipe.
