COURT HOLDS LAW INVALID
Judge TempIeton Declares That the
Liquor Seizure Statute Is
Unconstitutional.

In a decision Judge c. F. Temple
ton of the district court at Grand
Forks declares the liquor seizure law
10 be invalid. The decision is made
In the case of w. L. Girton VS.. T. E.
Metcalf, as police magistrate of the
city of Lakota. The constitutionality
az the law authorizing the seizure of
liquor imported into the state as a
beverage was attacked on several
grounds by the attorney for the plain
tiff. First it was contended that the
statute is unconstitutional because a
trial by jury is not permitted under
It's provisions. The court does not
think that this statute conflicts with
that section of the constitution which
guarantees the right of trial by jury.
The second contention was that the
statute contrayenes section 18 of the
declaration of rights. The court
holds this phase of the statute valid.
The third contention was that the
statute is in conflict with section 112
Of the constitution, relating to the
jurisdiction of justices. This conten-
ton Is sustained by the court.
The fourth contention is that the
statute is void because it violates the
commerce clause of the federal Con-
stitution. The court holds that this
point is well taken.
This is the first time that the new
law has been held unconstitutional.
In a Bottineau case Judge Templeton,
WHO was presiding for Judge Burr,
held that a seizure of liquor made be-
fore liquor had been removed from
the depot platform to the depot was
illegal for the reason that it was sub
ject to interstate commerce until de-
livered.

SEVEN MEN MEET DEATH
Two Others Fatally Injured in
Kansas City Fire.

Kansas City, Nov. 29.-Seven men
are dead and two fatally injured as
the result of a fire in a two-story brick
rooming house at 1102 Union avenue.
An explosion of gas was the cause of
the fire.
The seven victims of the disaster
were burned beyond recognition and
it is doubtful whether their identity
will ever be established. The room.
ing house was patronized by transient
white railroad laborers and as the
proprietor, Edward O'Connell, kept no
register he knew neither the names Of
his guests nor the number of persons
in the place. O'Connell said that his
house would accommodate 200 men,
but that he did not believe there were
more than fifty in the rooms when the
explosion occurred.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by a guest who lighted a
match in a Dom where gas had been
escaping. The fire alarm was turned
in by p%ostofice clerks at the Union
railroad station, who heard the explo.
sion, although they were three blocks
from the scene. When the firemen
arrived the flames were burning so
fiercely and the heat was so intense
that they found the work of fire fight
ing very difficult.
When the flames were sufficiently
subdued to permit of the firemen en-
tering the building there was so much
smoke in the rooms that the f1remen
could not enter. When they finally
gained entrance to the building they
found the bodies of the victims piled
together in a hallway on the second
floor. 1t was evident that the men
were overcome while seeking an exit

OUT OF SENATORIAL FIGHT
Foraker Announces His Candidacy for
President.

Washington, Nov. 30.-An announce
ment made by Senator Foraker of
Ohio, in effect withdrawing his name
from the senatorial race in that state
and placing himself in the hands Of
his friends for the presidential NOM
i%nation, was no surprise to the SEN
ator's friends.
Foraker's formal declaration of war
against Taft is contained in a letter
to Conrad J. Mattern, vice president
of the Ohio Republican league.
Senator Foraker says he is gratifed
by the endorsement of the committee
at this time because it is a fiat rebuke
to the suggestion that the office of
United States senator is to be
stripped of all the real honor attached
to it by making it's incumbent a mere
agent to register the DEGREES of some
body else.
The probable effect of the Ohio sem
ator's manifesto is v~ariously regarded.
1t means a hot fight in Ohio, but the
best informed public men here are
strongly of the opinion that Secretary
Taft will secure the delegation and
that Senator Foraker cannot win in
the contest.
1t is not believed here that Mr..
Foraker could win the Republican
nomination if he had the solid back
ing Of the Ohio delegation in the next
convention.

Statement Given Out by General Charles w.

Boston, Oct. 10.-Genera1 Charles w. Bartlett tonight gave out the fol- lowing statement:
 "A great deal of discussion has ap- peared in the public press in regard to the democratic convention held at Springfield, october 5. In justice to the people of Massachusetts, to the democratic party, to my friends and myself, I desire to make my position in this matter clear.
 q have been seeking for several months the democratic nomination for governor at the hands of the dem- ocratic party. I did not attend the convention, but when notified of my nomination by the chairman of the executive committee of the democrat ic party state committee I went be- fore the convention and accepted the same. My opponents through the press charge that this nomination was pro- cured by fraud, by trickery, by illegal and wrongful methods.
 "My friends, on the other hand, as- sert, and I have confidence in their statements that there can be no just criticism of their action and that H. legal and wrongful methods were used by their opponents.
 "The only tribunal that can settle the legality of that convention and of my nomination is the ballot law commis- sion. This body will have before it all the facts bearing on the question. IL would be unbecoming in me to discuss ! the merits of the controversy while il is psneding before the court All fair minded men will form their judgment after that decision rather than be- l fore h

HELD UP IN STREET
Ridgebury Farmer Takes in Danbury Fair and Loses
 Forty Dollars.

Danbury, Oct. 10.-During the carni- val celebration here tonight, and while several thousand visitors were adding to the numbers crowding the streets, Peter McKiver, a farmer of Ridgebury, was made the victim of a daring highway hold-up and robbery. He was standing beside his horse on White street when he felt his arms caught from behind and pinioned to his sides.
 At first he thought it a joke of friends, but realized differently when he saw his arms were held by a col- ored man on each side of him, and that a colored woman had possessed herself of his pocketbook, which McKiver said contained a hundred dollars, and from which she took about forty dollars.
 McKiver's cries brought assistance and while the man managed to es- cape, the woman was taken. She gave her name as Anna Carmine of Trenton, N. J. Some time afterwards a colored man was arrested on sus- picion of having been connected with the hold-up. To the police the man said his name was Louis Carmine, and his address, New York city. After his arrest Carmihe admitted having been with Anna Carmine at various times.
 A detective attached to New York police headquarters has identified the latter as one known to the police in New York city.

Her Son Left Cleveland But Could Not Arrive in
 Time.

Columbus, O., Oct 10-Mrs. Cassie Chadwick, whose amazing financial transactions eliminated in the wreck ing of an Oberlin (O) bank, died in the women's ward at the Ohio peni- tentiary tonight at 10;15. Mrs. Chadwick has been in a comatose con- dition for some hours previous to her death, and the end came peacefully. No friends or relatives waited at her bedside, only the prison physician and hospital attendants. Her son, Emil Hoover, had been summoned from Cleveland, but he was not expected to arrive before tomorrow.
 In November, 1904, she was sued by man named Newton of Brookline, Mass, from whom she had borrowed a large amount. Other creditors came down upon her, and soon she was ar- rested by the federal authorities on the charge of conspirlng with Charles Beckwith, president, and IA. B. Spear, cashier of a national bank at Oberlin O., which had been substantially loot ed. Mrs. Chadwick had obtained from this institution such large sums that 1t was compelled to close it's doors. caus- ing heavy losses to the depositors and ruining many of them.
 Mrs. Chadwick, Beckwlth and Spear were indicted for a variety of offenses against the national banking laws Beckwith died before coming to trial Spear pleaded guilty, was sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary, and is at the Columbus, O., penitentiary
 Mrs. Chadwick was brought to trial March 6, 1905, and after a hearing which lasted two weeks, was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud na- tional bank, and was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. Her health which was not good at the time of the trial failed steadily after it's conclu- sion. Mrs. Chadwick left one son Emil Hoover, born of her first mar riage. He is now about twenty years old.
