Big Cash1land Sale.

The largest cash land sale that
has been made in North Dakota
for a long time was made in Dick
inson a few days since. P. Ho-
henadel, Jr., of Cassville, Wis.,,
sold to illinois and Wisconsin
bankers the vacant lands in town
ship 139, range. 81, at So per acre,
the total sum paid being sos,
600. These lands are located
southeast of Dickinson and are
pronounced by good judges to be
among the finest agricultural
lands west of the Missouri river.
They are surrounded by a pros
porous class of Germans, ranking
with the best farmers in Stark
county, and it is certain that these
eastern investors will make agood
thing on their investment within
a short time as they will retail the
lands to German farmers of the
Middle West.
The country west of the Mis-
souri, river is getting some of the
best settlers in the world-men
from Minnesota, Wisconsin, ILL.,
nois, Iowa and Indiana-and the
influx of these sturdy well-to.do
farmers is making the lands out
this way valuable.
AS evidence of the way lands
on the Missouri slope are selling,
it is only necessary to say that
prominent business men and capt.
ia lists from indianapolis, Ind,
have purchased, during the past
year, over 100000 acres of land
south If Dickinson. Large pur-
chascs have also been made north.
Father Goebcl of GAINESVILLE,
Wis, is also one of the recent
purchasers of Stark county lands.
He bought in township 137, range
ga, and has a very choice tract
which is surrounded by a thrifty
class of settlers. The old settlers
are likely to want to buy much of
these lands themselves as soon as
they have harvested their 1905
crop.

GOOD MEN NEEDED
IN CIVIC AFFAIRS
Women of State Floral So
ciety Give Vent to Patri-
Otic Thoughts.

The State Floral Society held a meet
ing yesterday in Elks Hall, Sutter
street, Mrs. l.. o. Hodgkins in the
chair. Mrs. Austin Sperry spoke of the
respect shown flower growers in Port
land, where roses may bloom with i'm
punity and safe from being picked by
wayward vandals. The law, said Mrs.
Sperry, condemns flower thief to pay
a penalty of SIS for each flower un-
lawfully annexed by him.
Mrs. Hodgkins here declared that she
was no politician, but she could but
say that If good men were at the head
of all civic affairs in San Francisco
things would be different. Men, she
held, should lay aside party feeling and
stand together shoulder to shoulder,
for the city's welfare, and in that case
everything would be safe.
Mrs. Sperry regretted that com
mercialism kills the city" Justice is
what is needed, said Mrs. SperFy-equaI
rights for all and privileges for none,
and then justice would be paramount

fourths of an acre. The gardens them
selves cover seventy-five acres and the
recreation grounds connected with
them are 240 acres in extent
Mrs. Chandler said Melbourne's Royal
Park covers 600 acres. In speaking of
California as one beautiful garden Mrs.
Chandler regretted that commercialism
was sweeping the old-fashioned gar

condition that will compel lovers of

FORMER STUDENT SCORES
STANFORD'S PRESIDENT
Martin Singer, AM, Sends Letter to
University Trustees DenOuncfng
Action I'm GOeheI Caxe

Action In GOebeI Cnse.
n communication has been sent to
the trustees of Stanford University by
Martin Singer, AM, berating President
Jordan for his action in installing Pro-
fessor Griffin as head of the department
Of German in tine place of Professor
Goebel, deposed. Singer received the
degree OF master of arts from Stanford
in 1902. and is now instructor of mod
ern languages in the Petaluma High
School
Charges of q startling nature are
contained in the letter to the trustees,
one being that Griffin is incompetent to
be head of the department. Singer ac-
euses Dr. Jordan of showing a decided
partiality for Griffin. although, it is al
any university, nor has he received any
degreefrom a college.
The whole tone of the communication
is one of revenge for the alleged wrong
done Goebel in releasing him as head
of the department Of German. Singer
takes advantage of the communication
to state that DR.. Jordan is unsuitable
for the position of chief executive OF
Stanford. and AYERS that the standard
of the college has materially decreased
because OF the treatment accorded some
of the professors in order to make room
for favorites of the president.
In conclusion. Singer, who states that
he is competent to fill the chair in an
Eastern university, although still en-
ployed in the Petaluma High school,
writes that the policy pursued by the
eminent head of Stanford has made
the university the ridicule of the schoI-
astic world.

Arthur O'Neill and Walter

Become Britishers Again
PAPERS ARE CANCELLED
Z. s. Secret Service Agent
Taylor Restores Them to
the Arms of King Edward
PAPERS ARE CANCELLED

The naturalization papers of Arthur
ONeill chief officer of the Siberia, and
Walter levin, marine engineer, were
Cancelled yesterday by Superior Judge
Trout on the ground that they had
been obtained fraudulently. ONeill
took out his declaration of intention
papers in 1902, but instead of waiting
the required two years before applying
for the final papers, accepted as re-
liable the advice given him by his
friends that he was entitled to natur-
alization by reason of having arrived
in the United States under the age Of
is years and having resided there con-
tinuously for five succeeding years.
His witnesses to that effect before
Judge Trout were Judge Troutt's clerk,
William J. Kennedy, and Joseph f. Sui
livan of 500 Union street, a clerk in
the Recorders office. levin secured
his naturalization on similar grounds
His witnesses before Judge Trout Were
James McCann of 1901 Jackson street
and Thomas Finnegan of 279 Lexington
avenue.
These Irregularities were unearthed
by United States Secret Service Agent
Richard H. Taylor, who compelled
ONeill and levin to petition for the
cancellation of their citizenship papers
and to surrender their licenses as
American seamen to United States
Local inspectors Bolles and Bulger.
John Francis Green, second officer Of
the steamship Siberia, was held to an
swer yesterday by United States Com
missioner Heacock to the charge OF
having fraudulently obtained his GER
tfficate of naturalization. Agent Taylor
learned that Green arrived here in 1900,
and two weeks later purchased from
William Cunningham a pretended copy
of his certificate of naturalization.
Upon this forged paper he obtained
from United States Local Inspectors
Bolles and Bulger a license as an
American mate. The license has been
revoked since Green's arrest.

NO ERROR COMMITTED.
Mauzy md Sullivan Declared Delegates
From Thirty-eighth District.

State Senator Wolfe argued for an
hour yesterday before the Election
Commissioners that it was their duty
to declare Byron Mauzy and John j.
Sullivan elected on the Republican
League ticket as delegates to the
municipal convention, instead of Nj.
Tiedemann and Ben Abrahams, who, it
was alleged had been credited with the
votes meant for the two first named
owing to the alleged error of the cleo
tion officers in three precincts of the
Thirty eighth Assembly District. The
names of Tiedemann and AbrahamS had
been withdrawn from the ballots and
those of Mauzy and Sullivan placed
thereon, but it was alleged that the
names of Tiedemann and Abrahams ap
peared on the tally lists. This claim
proved to be an error, which was shown
after some of the election officers in
the three precincts had been examined
They testified that the names of Mauzy
and Sullivan had been written on the
tally lists when their names were found
on the ballots and therefore the returns
showed the election of the two candi-
dates
The real error was committed by the
clerks in the official count of the re-
turns, they having neglected to make
the change in the names in tallying
the official count as carried on by the
Election Commissioners Commissioners
Devote was wroth over the affair,
which he designated as a tempest in a
teapot Devote took the opposite
ground to Wolfe before the true state
of affairs was discovered. Devote held
that the Election Commission could not
go behind the face of the returns and
had no right to examine the ballots
unless court order was issued.
AS Mauzy and Sullivan were elected
on the face of the returns they will re-
ceive their credentials from the COM
mission.
During the discussion Commissioner
Roberts said that the election officers
had been charged with incompetency
and dereliction of duty and he insisted
that they be heard in their own de-
fense When they had been heard it
was ascertained that they had faith
fully performed their duty and given
credit for the ballots to Mauzy and
Sullivan.
The official count was proceeded with
until the Forty-third District was com
pleted and an adjournment was taken
until p m, when the count will be
completed which the law requires shall
be done in three days after the election.
