North Dakota Spurns the Attempt 10
Fasten the LOuisiana LOTTERY upon
Hlcr.
BIsMARoK, N. OAK, Fob. 10.-The
scheme to tasten the iniquitous Louis.
lana Lottery Company upon the new
state Of North Dakota bns failed and the
thousands of dollars Epsnt by ex-senator
Spencer OF Alabams, in grooming the
members OF the legislature to support
the sandager bill, giving the Lottery
Company legal existence in this state
are worse than wasted. The ciimsx was
reached to-day in the house Of represen.
tstives, whom a motion to indefinitely
postpone further consideration Of the
Lottery bill was adopted with one.hah q
dozen negative votes.
In the Senste, Bell, Democrat, intro
duced resolution calling for an investi-
cation of the charges of bribery on the
bill, and also included the State Repabli-
oan Convention and the United States
senatorial fight. No sooner had the reso-
luton been introduced than Senator
Lamoure, Republican, rose AID resented
the reflection that this resolution cadt
on the Republican party OF the state.
For one, he said, he detied any man to
point at one corrupt act of his either in
the state convention, in the election OF
United States senators or in voting FOR
the Lottery bill. De would favor the
resolution and hoped that the investlga-
tion would be full and complete. Sena-
tor Mansion followed in similar vein
and scared those who had been oircuiat-
ing the reports, branding them as hypo-
orites and blaokmailers. He would sup
port the resolution, and hoped that the
man who had been making the charges
would be brought TO an account.
Bell, the De ooPatic senator who Intro
duosd the resc ution, replied by saying
that his resolution seemed to make the
| Republicans sqpirm. he voted for the
lottery bill, as did every one of the seven
Democrats in the Senate, and they knew
that insinustions of bribery had been
made. He did not care what the Repub
laans thought Of it but the Democrats
would not remain silent under these
charges. They demanded an investign'
tion. The resolution passed by upaui
nous vote, and Measis. Robinson, Hagert
and Harmon Republicans, and MoOor
mack and Mcbride Democrats, were ap
pointed as the committee. Already sub
Pmnaa have been Issued for several of thu
most prominent Republicans in tho stat,
TO appear before the committee. The,
are: e. W. Camp Of Jamestown, Re
porter Of tho Supreme Court h. P
Wells, State Senator BRily, Fuller, ant
Il. B. Casey OF Minneapolis, who, it i
claimed, discussed the funds for the cleo
ton of bis BROTHER, Lyman Z. Casey, t
the Uni cd States Senate. Others VIII
have been summoned are Lieut. Gov
Dickey, jesse Frye Of jamestown, Georg
. Carpenter OF Wiiliston, acd N. O. Fan
ming OF New Rockford.
The sensation created by this action o
! the part OF the senate was no greater tina
that in the house, when RerYesentaliv
Wslsh moved to indefinitely postpone ID
Lottery bill. Walsh had besn fGvorin
the bill and this action on his part we
seconded by Representative Stevens, VII
: had also favored It. Repreaentatiy
Walsh explained that the object of ii
motion to indefinitely postpone was
3 take the bill out of the way of other lei
islaticn and permit the business of II
: session TO proceed. Representative SteveI
. stated in reply to u charge Of the minorii
I that this was to shut of the investig
] tion OF the bill that he desired
a see the investigation pressed. He did nj
Q propose to be Swallowed up by privat
Q detectives on trumped up charges
Q frsud. His reference to detectives create
s q stir, Rs it has been discovered tn
Q detectives supposed to be from u
t Pinkerton agency, in Chicago, have be-
: at work hare, and the men claimed to
. detectives were in the room while Steve
> was speaking. A vote being taken, Il
# motion to indefinitely postpone the b
carried. This, it is believed, is the dealt
:. Bnell of the bill, and its opponents aI
+ iubilant. The friends of the measu
Q concluded that they could not get Il
!, necessary two-thirds vote, hence ii
? action.
4 A message wal received here tod
. from M. A. Dauphip, president Of d
d Louisiana lottery, disputing the stat
ment that the lottery would ruin L
d state. He states that but per cent
7 the lottery's receipts comes fro
