A great, part of this money, accord ing to investigators came from the sale in ithts country of German war bonds. The alien property custodian has not made it clear whether ihe newspaper property will be taken over. liramely is an American born in La Porte, Ind. Ho was educated in the "Unilted States, but received h5s degree of M. D. at Heidelberg Univeraity, Germany. He is 36. Rumely Issues Statement Dr. Rumely issued a statement whilq confined! in the "strong room" of tho federal courts building. "The editorial policies of the Even ing Mail have boon under my absolute and sola control. The -paper, the edit orial page in particular has been an expression of my attitude on public questions, uninfluenced by any con sideration other than my own judgment of what was the right thing to do from tho dtandlpoint of America's interest. The -Mail has backed every war activi ty of the governmenlt to the limit of its power and has performed work sec ond to no other paper in develoipling policies for tho efficient organization of our country for tins necessary war. "My return to the alien property custodian, regarding the notes which 1 personally have outstanding will, I an convinced when all the facts are available, be found truthful in every Tespoat. ' ' He declinedl to disicuss a statement attributed to Henry I Stoddard to tho effect that Stoddard had enforced a vigorous pro-American policy of the Mail in February, 1917, with a threat that bonds ha held would have to be taken up unless a different stand was tllken. Ho also declined to discuas an alleged friendship with fount Von Bernetorff, former German ambassaj wor and other (jrcrmans. "I will make a more complete state ment within 24 hours," he said. The federal grand jury today began an investigation of the charges against Rumely. NEXT BLOW" , (Continued from page one) brought up; others believe the morale of the German troops is low. The truiih is probably a mixture of ell these things, plus other things. Be side a shortage of raw materials, Ger many doubtless has only a limited out put of munitions now, making St neces sary for her to economize over a long period to get a big enouirh stock to . carry out operations similar to those in March and June. Owing to he limited number of men for the armies, however laTgc, once the majority of German divisions are bat tered in battle or .tired, Hindenburg must wait 'until they are Tested, refit ted and! restored to optimism". Prisoners taken since the Hamel fight, declare they had nk food for "two days, owing to the confusion in the lines. Low flying war planes final ly dropped bundles of "bully beef," "dog biscuits" and hard tack along the advanced posts. This method of re lieving hunger shows the German ar my is less able to maintain its cohe sion than formerly. The scarcity of airmen officers is growing, according to an enemy order, which says that fewer officers must do reconnaissance flights, non-coms being eubatituted. Planes ere manufac- IK FOB LESS tiured with dif fliculty owing to tho lak-'k of raw materials. Sonne of those, delivered are . breaking under the strain, of flying, according to captured letters. Prisoners also say there is much, ill ness in the army due to "Flanders fever, grippe, "Spanish influenza" or whaltever the strange malady may be called. , French Strike Hard Paris, Jmly 9.

H. Mortin vs (jiiliinn county, appellant. Circuit Judge Park er of Gilliam county is reversed. Chief Justice McBrid, who wrote the opinion, holds that the. law is un constitutional becauso it attempts 1o amend the 1913 coan y budget law without quoting in full the portion of tho law amended. Thd3 is in contradic tion to the provisions of sci tion 2", article IV of the state constitution, which says. "No act ahull ever be re vised or amended by iri'jr') rofjrMee to its title, but the net revised or sec tion amended shall be a t forth, and published at full length." Chapter 222 laws of 1915 which i the act in question mer.Oy refers to chapter 234, laws of 1013, which is the county budget law, jmd rays its pro visions shall apply to "All districts and corporalto bodies or rganixations having power to levy t:i;s." "Hero there is no 'at'sjipt to enact a new and indepondjat statute upon the samo subject as the act of 2913 supra,' ' says Chief Ju-stioo Mciinue, "but rn attempt to insert into it, and by reference to it, certain provisions en larging its scope without, getting forth the statute as it would appear after being so revised. If it can 1c done in tbfig instance there U no limit to the extent to which statues cai be revis ed or amended without setting forth the amended Btatnte at full length, and tho donstitutional provision above quoted would, therefore, be rendered nugatory. The act of 1915 is void." Chief Justice McBriilJs po'iints out that the court, in a previous case,held that under the 1915 law road districts must have a budget but he isayg that the court's attention was not called to the irregular manner an whieh the 1915 law was enacted. The case decided today was the re sult of a suit brought by Martin to enjoin the collection of a 10mill spe cial road tax attempting to be levied by road district No. 1 of Gilliam coun ty. No attempt whatever was made to comply with the budget law. Other Opinions Today Other opinion were handed down as follows: F. 8. Akin, appellant vs George W.

"There have been ' no; fresh (developments &t the ! points occupied by our troops," the American eommunuqiie lor .uonoay stated today. By Carl D. Groat (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, July 9. Vhe navy de partment has reason to believe that Ger man V -boats are about to strike again at Atlantie eoast shirmn?. Because of this, an official warning! to all shipping to be on the alert has been sent out, covering the stretch of ocean from the Virginia capos north-1 .5 A J I. . .

The recent inactivity of tie V-koats off the eoast has not deceived navy chiefs into believirg that the danger was past and recently confidential in formation has come, tending to prove thatn a ew blow is about to fall. While there is always an element of doubt about submarine information, this data appeared to authorities to be substan tial. While warnings are sent out more or less frequently, they generally arc based on what appears to be a "good tip." Vessels Are Warned. New York, July 9. Vessels in this vumitv today were warned to watch for a German submarine believed to be operating about 1600 miles east of New York. At the same time, it was learned that eleven members of the crew of the Nor wegian steamship Augvold, 2,098 tons had been landed at an Atlantie port by a liner. Fourteen others of the crew are believed to have perished in a Btorm. The ship was torpedoed.

A typhoon sweeping Guam, Maniana Islands, July 6, did much material damage but killed only a few, as far as reports are avail able today. Half the' inhabitants are destitute and homeless, according to a roport from Captain Smith, U. S. M., Guam governor today. His message said:. "All public property ashore and afloat materially damaged. Scores in jured. Ono half of inhabitants destitute and homeless. Crops destroyed. Food scarce. Am feeding destitute natives as necessary from navy supplies and com mandeered foodstuffs." Some of tha natives were injured and others killed but apparently tho death toll is small. The Maniana and Ladrone Islands are a group of about thirty small islands tho chief of which is uuam, lying be tween Honolulu and Philippines. The navy governs Guam.
