PROVISIONS FOR BUILDING! | Necessary Improvements to Be Taken Into Consideration | in’ Plans. | ee Seg Washington, D. C., aJn. 7—As the ifrst step in government assistance of railroad fnancing, presidents of rail- roads were requested by Interstate Commerce Commissioner Daniels to- day to telegraph him immediately the amount of capital required for this year, and also for the first six months of the year, Must Detail Purposes, This action, was taken at the direc: tion of Director General McAdoo. Rail- road presidents were asked to detail the precise purposes for’ which funds will be needed to meet maturing se- curities not already provided for, to nay for improvements, betterments, and constructidén work already con- tracted for, and parts finished. Roads were requested also to show what proportion of improvements already started can be stopped now without detriment. os New Construction. Another item sought by Commis- sioner Daniels is ‘an approximate es- timate ‘of capital necessary to pro- vide for new construction work im- provements, betterments, etc., includ- ing’ additional terminals’ and new equipment. Presidents were asked to specify what part of their financial requirements during this year are not absolutely necessary for protection of property or maintenance of earnings. A definite statement is also sought as to the character of securities which each company had planned to issue. Additional information may be sought by the Interstate Commerce’ commis- sion or tue director-general later. ‘The railroad administration's finan- cial plans have included the purchas- ing of the government fund of securi- ties to he issued by railroads under government operation. This plan is only tentative, however, and depends on the action of congress on the pend- ing railroad bill. TORPEDOES ON FOUR WHEELS Explosive Propelled Toward Enemy ‘Trenches and Controlled by Means. of Wires Attached to Works. La Domenica Del Corricre, Italy, re- ports a new war device, the invention of an English engineer, Strafford Tal- bot. Literally, it is a torpedo on wheels which may be propelled toward the en- emy. trenches and controlled from the starting point by means of attached wires, The explosive is mounted on a metal- lic’ box which rides on four wheels. Attached to the bax is a contrivance consisting of a dynamo which propels the wheels, The entire machine is electrically controlled, permitting the explosion of the charge at the desired moment. Two parallel. wires connect the tor- pedo with the control station. These fre carried on spools and unwind as the machine: advances. . The power is derived from accumulating batteries at the starting point. When it is de- sired to fire the charge all that is re- quired is.to push a button. According to the inventor. the total .cost of, this contrivance is. about $150; :What He. Wants for “Plain Food.” , Do. you, know this,.man, have you ever heard of him—the man who likes plain, food? His tastes, are of the simplest; a little clear soup yourself, clear consomme the color of pale sher- ry; .Take,a knuckle of veal and four pounds of lean beef . ,,. goes the sympathetic recipe. . (Notice, . you “take,” you don’t “buy.”) “Fry, to a tender, brown, carrots, onions,” etc. So goes on. this tender, delectable process until you finally “clarify.” The time the | cook spends upon the simmering, the frying, the clarifying, and. the .strain- ing {s not of, course taken into ac- count. “The man who likes plain food enjoys roasts of meat, joints and rib- roasts.”—Exchange. Chemistry Recognized (Science. Chemistry has beer ficcorded an al- most forma! recognition as the science at the heart of modern warfare, The British ministry of reconstruction has pointed out that Germany selected the chemical industry for especial~nurture in making its war preparations, es- pecially that part of the industry deal- ing with coal tar derivatives, in which field the imperial government gradual- won. a.temporary world monopoly. The minister of reconstruction has ap- pointed. a committee of six chemists to investigate the situation in England and to recommend a plan for making the British chemical industry self-sus- taining and equal to any call upon it during and after the war. Von Hindenburg a “Junker.” .“Junker” is .philologically akin to “Jonkheer” and has a quasi-equivalent in the English, “Squire.” The Junker is a man of gome.birth and of inherit- ed property, especially land, says an exchange. . The; word is used to de- scribe that large class of Prussians who. come..of noble, seminoble or at least old and “good” families and ‘whose worldly possessions. are such 2s to give them as appreciable stake in the government. Von Hindenburg is a fine example of the Junker; Luden- “You can come and get me; you can take me out and shoot me, but you can’t make me fight,” said Richard Francis Anderson of Wilton when the Burleigh county draft board held him for service. Anderson was fit physically; he had no wife or children or other depend- ents; he was a member of no religious ct opposed to war. But be did have very pronounced “conscientious scru- ples” against war, which he declared not good in the sight of the Lord. Anderson’s order number was low} in the list, and. his name was called! MEMORABLE TERM OF DISTRICT COURT COMES TO AN END Judge Nuessle Today Pronounces Sentence on Number of Convicts A memorable term of the Burleigh county district court came to a close at noon today, after Judge W. L. Nues- sle had pronounced the following sen- tences: Lewis Stone, white sJavery, one to five years in state penitentiary. Ed Kelly,. public nuisance, one to three years in penitentiary. George Gandy, bootleging, one to three years in penitentiary; sentence suspended during good behavior. Rees Williams, maintaining immor-¥ al resort, three months in county jail. Flora Robidou, same charge, same sentence, and fine of $200. reorge Goldader, larceny, one to five years in the state penitentiary. John Mossbrucker, same charge and same sentence. Willis E. Bryan, months in county jail. nuisance, four county jail. William Skaggs, robbery, sentence suspended to permit enlistment in United States army. Ellsworth Finlayson, robbery, con- tinued over term for sentence. T. P. Sheldon, contempt of court, evading subpoenae, $25 fine or 19 days in jail. ‘Peg Larson, same, costs of case or 20 days in jail. Bryans Picked Up. Willis E. Bryan and son, Leon, east side liverymen, were picked up under a suspended sentence passed about a year ago. It was charged that they; had again violated the liquor laws of the state, and Judge Nuessle decreed that they serve out their original jail; sentence. | Goldader and Mossbrucker are the | two Bismarck men who shot a hog on the bottoms south of town and carted the carcass away. Not Popular Sport. Judge 'W. lL. Nuessle seems determ: ined to make subpo¢nae-jumping in blind-pig cases an unpopular winter sport for Bismarckers. At the present term of court two or three cases were listed in which the deefndants were charged with ignoring subpoenaes in actions of this kind, and during the term there developed two new in- stances. . P, Sheldon, a witness in the) “Plume” Kelley bootlegging case, fail- ed to show up at the trial after he had been subpoenaed by the state. He was located in Minneapolis and was brought back to Bismarck on Friday. Today he faced Judge Nuessle on a charge of contempt of court. Today's sessions conclude one .of “Peg” Larson was subpoenaed in the George Gandy “pig” case. Peg pegged it to Fargo, whither Sheriff French followed him. the longest and most important terms of court in the history of the district, and Tuesday Judge Nuessle will con- vene the Morton county district court for Major J. M. Hanley, now in France with his battalion. It was agreed when Judge Hanley accepted his commis- sion that his place on the bench not be vacated, brother jurists volunteer- ing to serve for him during his ab- sence. Something near a record was estab-; lished during the last week when a jury in the case of Nielson vs. Hins- “Olive Tell, Mutual-Fantire Ste dorff, his, collaborator,.is not a Junker birth, however. mince a one he may by taste, STATE’S ONLY CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR REPORTED TO FRASER ‘AS DESERTER BY LOCAL BOARD Leon Bryan, same, three months in i among the first increments for Camp Dodge. Because there was an abund- ance of available men ready to go, An- derson was granted an extension of time when he begged for it. Then came the call for 200 men to go to Camp Stevens, Ore., and Ander- son was among the men summoned to report. He did not report in time to leave with’ Burleigh county’s contin- gent of 20. An alternate was sent in his place. Anderson has not shown up since to explain his’ default. Saturday the board turned his name in to Adju- tant General Fraser as a deserter. vark, a claim for $80 on wages alleged due, remained out 25 hours,then re-/ ported its inability to agree and was harged. The small amount involy- ed in this controversy between a Wil- on carpenter contractor and a form-j er employe probably v the least im- portant of all issues tried at this term, yet it was the only case which kept a jury out over night, and the only one in which a final disagreenemt was re- corded. LAFOLLETTE'S ST. PAUL SPEECH IS BEFORE SENATE Washington, D. C., Jadn. 7.— What is- described as a_ sten- ographic report of Senator La Follette’s speech at St. Paul has been made the basis of disloyalty charges and a senate investigation was filed today by the American Defense society with the senate committee on privileges and elec- tions. The society is urging the expulsion of the senator. The report may be considered by the senate sub-committee Tues- day when it resumes the investi- gation. BRITISH WAR LORD _ COMING TO U.

Fortunately both trains! were creeping at a snail's pace, and the damage to the engines will not be terrific. Neither engine crew was in- jured. It is said that the failure off the block signal system to werk is re- sponsible for the wreck, which occur- red at 7:45 a.m. The wrecking crew| arrived from Mandan about 9 o'clock and promptly cleared the main line. Arrive and Depart. | “Arrivals” and “departures” have a definite place in French trench philol- ogy. When the American troops first entered the trenches their French com- rades were very anxious to have them | distinguish accurately between the } noise of “arrives” and “departs.” “I thought they were talking harbor clearances at first,” said one Yankee lad. “Then I heard a low, whining | sound and a shell exploded behind us. ‘Un arrive” said my companion. He signified that it was a present from tlie Germans. Soon there was a louder, sharper sound. It was a responsive | roar from our own batteries. ‘Un de- “part” he said with great satisfaction. ‘Voila! we had it. The exchange of artiltery fire is, after all, a matter of ‘arrivals’ and ‘departures.’ Needless to say, the ‘departs’ enjoy the wider popularity.” Tribune want ads bring -results.
