versity that the measure is demo-
cratic one-at least 1t was introduced
In the senate by the acknowledged
leader OF the democrats in that body.
1t is not probable that Governor Burke
suggested or even favored the plan,
but it is an evidence that those who
believed the state university was safe
from attack by the democrats have
been undeceived. Senators Spoon
helm and Turner will in all probability
vote against the measure. But the
other democrats will, in all probabili-
ty be found lined up in it's support.

DAMAGE ACTION FOR
$4,000 IS ON
FRIDAY
George A. Bangs Goes to Fes-
sender to Appear in an I'm
portant Action.

Attorney George A. Bangs was q
passenger today to Fessenden where
the trial of Henry Kurtz against the
First National bank of Harvey, an
action for $4,000 for false imprison-
ment, will come up for trial tomor-
row morning.
Henry Kurtz was employed by the
bank as collector and outside man
and in his capacity as such had con-
siderable bank money at all times.
He was accustomed to make settle
ment with the institution once a year.
A year ago after making a settlement
on Jan. he left for California having
with him at the time money belong
ing to the bank, which money he had
always been in the habit of keeping
until the next day of settlement. The
bank officials becoming alarmed and
thinking he had absconded with the
money, had him arrested and brought
back from California to face the
charge Of embezzlement. The trial
was called in the district court after
Mr.. Kurtz had been incarcerated for
two or three months. He was ac-
quilted as tho case should have been
brought in the federal court.
He now sues for $4,000 claiming
false imprisonment.

F. 2. R. Miller was called, and he is
now the pastor of the church.
Letters were then read from some Of
the former pastors, Reverends Smell,
Davis, Longfellow and Mills. All
Joined in congratulating' the church
on it's steady and strong growth. and
each Letter had some Renaissance OF
the past.
"Why I like the church was the
subject of a short address by R. c.
Burnett, Richard Fox, Beatrice john
stone, Paul Gladstone and W. o.
Woods.
Sidney Clark the next speaker had
for his subject, "The Present" Mr..
Clark was we'll pleased with the work
the church was doing, and told of some
of its accomplishments in the past.
Following his address were num-

paper given was we'll prepared, and

the remarks of the speakers on the
needs of the church were listened %
with close attention. Some valuable
suggestions were made, and will no
doubt be acted upon this year.
The Future" was the subject on
which Rev. F. E. r. Miller spoke. He
stated that he thought it was great
privilege to be the pastor of the church,
and said that in the future, his work
would be the best he could give In
closing he made suggestion relative
to the friendship fund of the church,
which may be acted upon shortly. The
session closed by the singing of the
hymn, God be With You Till We Meet
Again."
Two quartets, one ladies and one
mems rendered several selections dur
ing the evening, which were higaly
appreciated. Just before adjourning,
motion was passed giving to the ladies
of the church vote of thanks for their
excellent work in making arrange
ments for the banquet and reception.

the sea. The chaos has been, and in
ferentially that sort of business is
playing out.
That is all right and yet on the other
hand it is to be remembered that we
have been doing things in our recent
and progressive days that never were
done before and that may have their
disastrous effect Look at the amount
of oil that has been taken out of the
earth! What has taken its place? So,
too, of natural gas; where does that
come from and what takes its place?
Who knows what electricity is and
whether claiming it as we do may not
be fooling with, perhaps arousing, the
mighty forces that have torn the
whole world in the past.
A corner of Jamaica is shaken and
some of it, perhaps, drops into the
sea. But what brought the whole is
land to the surface? What has lifted
up the bottom of the sea? How come
the remains of sea monsters to be
found under ground on the plains of
the West? What caught the fish in
disaster by millions when the present
phosphate beds were forming? Where
did the mountains come from? The
forces that have given the world its
shape have been exercised on so
mighty a scale that, beside their DEM
onstrations, the whole disturbances
that threaten us nowadays are in
significant.

geance, then the state would be de-
stroying the very power which it was
established to conserve"
The general trend of the times
seems to be that of sympathy for GRIM
inals, the more horrible or bold the
crime, the greater the sympathy.
If law and order and respect for the
rights of our feIlowmen is to prevail,
then it is high time that the fondling
and caressing of criminals should
cease, and that criminals be made to
suffer the penalty of their crimes and
not be permitted to- escape because

THE BuIIz' SPEECH

Continued from Page ~
cry from the press that the courts
are influenced by the railroads It
is therefore evident to ME that the
2-cent rate fixed in this bill is not
only unreasonable but is unconstitu-
tional.
GIN many parts of the state large
areas have no railroads and If you
expect these corporations to continue
to build branch lines so as to make
tho farms in these sections worth
anything as farm lands, you must be
just.
81 predict that there will be few
branch lines built in this state If the
proposed legislation is made effective.
II have offered the amendment
fixing the rate at 2 1-2 cents per mile
as a compromise, thinking that the
railroads will accept the same and
operate their lines under it's provis-
ions. Yet have talked with no one
connected with these companies and
know nothing about their wishes or
intentions. l have read the follow
ing article in the press and asked
to have the same read by the clerk
as a part of my remarks:
Chicago, Jan. 19.-To head off leg
islation providing for a fiat 2-cent
passenger rate, the western railways
will submit to the legislatures Of
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and ILL
nois, proposition looking to the
voluntary adoption by the roads of a
21-2-cent rate in these states. They
may make similar proposition to the
law makers or commissions of some
other western states.
Well-informed officials are practi-
cally agreed that it will be futile to
oppose uncompromisingl the popular
agitation for 2-cent fare, at least
in the states mentioned. They do not
concede that such a rate would be
remunerative. On the contrary, they
contend that the only portions of the
country, not now having a 2-cent rate,
in which it would be fair, are the
most thickly settled parts of Indiana
and Illinois. It is maintained that
even 2 1-2-cent rate will not be gen.
orally profitable, that, in fact, even
the present Scent fare is positively
Improbable in great part of the
west.
The proposition to compromise on
a 2h-cent rate is made by the Off
Gals because they fear that, If they
do not agree to this, they will have a
2-cent rate forced upon them unless
they get relief by appealing to the
courts.
"Of course the new states consist
ing of North Dakota, Montana, Idaho
and Washington through which the
lines affected by this bill pass have
as yet sparse population and but
little passenger traffic especially upon
the branch lines which constitute
large portion of the lines covered in
this state by the bill now under con-
sderation. While the railroad COM
panies might operate their lines
through the more densely populated
states at profit by 21--2-cent fare,
they evidently can not exist for any
great length of time in these newer
states at a 2-cent fare:''

HOUSE DISSATISFIED

tribution on representation, and as a
consequence the western representa-
tives are not backing an inch from
contention for what is just and
right. The eastern portion of the state
must lose something in the way of
representation under any fair arrange
ment. The only thing they can do is
to save as much as is possible out of
the plan. 1t is said that the Buttz
plan which was turned down in the
house, was one of the fairest to the
eastern portion of the state of any so
far presented. But the turning down
of that matter gave notice to the west
ern members that they would get
nothing for which they did not fight
and they have now girded themselves
for the battle. Later when Mr.. John
son requested that the committee
which is strongly in sympathy with
the majority, get busy and report bill
to the house so that it could be care
fully considered before the rush which
always occurs in the closing days of
the session, the majority leader, if
not the majority itself, refused to have
the matter considered because it
would interfere with their plans. But
when they were forced on record on
the matter they realized the blunder
and within two hours after the clos
ing of the session in which the matter
was forced into the limelight, the
chairman Of the committee was in the
hotel Hobbies informing the members
that meeting of the committee would
be called for the next evening. This
in view Of the fact that a third of the
session had passed and no attempt to
call a meeting had been made by the
chairman, indicated conclusively that
the plan of delay and the rush through
without consideration method was in,
the air.
Just what will come of all this re-
mains to be seen. But it is opening
the eyes of the people of the western
part Of the state to the fact that II
they do not get Justice in the way
Of representation it will be chargeable
to the present majority in the house,
while the eastern members will see,
If they do not now, that what they lose
more than is right will be due to the
ambition Of certain gentlement to
make cheap political records rather,
than to be broad enough to legislate
in the interests of the people irrespec-
tive of sections.
That University Deal.
The meeting of the students recent
ly called at the university to fight
against the adoption of the Purcell
plan of distributing the one mill tax
among the several institutions of the
state, which cuts big slice out of the
state university, serves to call to mind
some of the predictions made in the
Evening Times during the late poll
teal unpleasantness. It is impossible
to tell at this time what the fate of
the bill will be. 1t is sufficient to re-
mind the people interested in the uni

THE UNWRlTTEN LAW.

With at least two celebrated murder
trials in progression in New York
City and the other at New Orleans
in which so-called "unwritten law" is
being used by the accused as basis
of defense, it would not seem amiss to
give the subject some consideration.
First, what is the 'unwritten law"
AS laid down by Judge T. ]. Herman,
one of the ablest jurists of the country,
the funwritten law possesses ten car
dinal points or principles. The fourth
of these is chief and plays an import
ant part in both of the murder trials
above referred to-the Thaw and
Favrot cases. 1t reads:
4. "Any man who traduces a virtuous
woman's character may be shot by
her or by her husband, or by any near
relative with impunity. But the Of
fender must first be given an oppor-
tunity to deny and disprove the charge,
or to retract and apologize"
The question of whether or not any
'unwritten' law should excuse a man
from the penalty of his crime is the
first one to be considered. Has a
man the right to kill his neighbor, or
his enemy for that matter with i'm
punity, because that neighbor or
enemy has sinned against him in the
dishonoring of a wife, daughter or
a sister?
Rev. I. P. Johnson, pastor Of
Gethsemane church, Minneapolis, in
discussing the subject from his pulpit
last Sunday said in part:
1T is mawkish sentimentality
which surrounds the person of the
criminal and talks about 'unwritten
law as a defense, INDUCED in by a
sort of good people today who, in their
sympathy for the sinner, forgot the
majesty of the law. What is meant by
the 'unwritten law? Is it law that
men are ashamed to publish? If it
is law why is it not written, unless
men know better than to commit to
writing that which they know would be
subversive of the majesty of the law?
'Unwritten laws are laws that we are
ashamed to write, because we know
that should the state once write them
and place in the hands of the angry
individual the right of private ven

If the stories sent out recently by
the Bismarck correspondents of the
Grand Forks Herald and Evening
Press are to be believed, the machine
has won trick in the appointment
of B. F. Spalding of Fargo to the SUI
preme bench, to succeed E. Engerud,
resigned. The reports sent out were
to the effect that the machine was
anxious to have Spalding appointed
in order to get him out of politics"
Not great while since the machine
wanted Hon. John Knauf of James
town on the supreme bench. But the
insurgent organs howled politics"
Did the placing of Edward Engerud
upon the supreme bench get him "out
of politics?" Not if he were a party
to some Of the recent manipulations
incident to the seating of Judge Fisk
as facts would indicate he was.

SOLDIER CRUSHED
BY RAILWAY TRAIN

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 2O.-Edward
Glendon, private of Company M,
Twenty-second Infantry, U. S. A.,
was perhaps fatally injured last night
by passenger train on the. Clark
road about 8 o'clock, some five hun
dred feet below the freight station.
Glendon is about As years of age
and is an old soldier. 1t seems that
the man was walking south on the
track and was struck by the passen-
ger train, which was backing in. The
engineer blew the whistle several
times, but apparently the unfortun-
ate man failed to hear and the result
was he sustained a badly crushed
right leg, between the knee and the
ankle and all the toes of the left
foot were almost severed.
Glendon is in the hospital being
cared for. He remains unconscious
and it is said by those in attendance
that concussion of the brain with per-
haps internal injuries, together with
the shock, may result in DEATH

must be borne in mind that the Bon

the case in any way at all until this

prehension.
Kennedy's tale of his alleged hold

peating. This was supposed to be
ten days ago, and If it were true, a

kept silent about it for this length
of time. Mr.. Keith, general man

the Sun Office and asked to be shown
the original affidavit. This request
was denied, for what reason the edi.

that the affidavit of Mr. Booth is duly

The POLICE have
TRACED FUGITIVE

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.-J.
Dalzell Robertson, assistant secre,
tary for and foster brother of j. Dali
zell Brown, who has been missing
since the beginning OF the investiga-
ton of the wrecked bank, is known
to have left CHS city for New York
over week ago, and 1t is presumed
that he is either in hiding in the
East or has already made good his
escape on an ocean liner.
Robertson bought tickets for him
self and wife over the New York Cen,
trail lines from Carlton C. Crane,
agent for the company in the Flood
building. Crane remembers having
sold Robertson the tickets to New
York, and it is presumed that he left
the city more than a week ago. AT
the same time information comes
from Lakeport that Robertson was
on train going East with Charles
Mifflin Hammond, and his sister
Mrs. w. o. Edmunds.
A letter received in Lakeport from
Mrs. Edmunds tells of their leaving
San Francisco for Boston, and of the
Robertsons being on their train.
Robertson is Scotchman, and it is
surmised that he will take passage
for Scotland, If he is not intercepted
by the police. At first it was thought
that the explanation of his absence
might be that he had been sent East
by Brown in an effort to regain pos
session of the missing Cotton securi-
ties and to bring them back to San
Francisco. AS Robertson was under
suspicion at the time, he would hard
ly have taken a step which has re-
suited in his being declared fugi-
tive from justice, had he not intend
ed to make his "get away"

7. & 7. Will AID
SOUTHERN NEVADA

Goldfeld and Tonopah operators,
whose ore has been refused by the
Salt Lake smelters, are to find a new
avenue of relief through the TonopahI
and Tidewater railroad, which has
decided to establish special commod-
ity rates for ore from Goldfield and
Tonopah to Denver and Pueblo, Col
orado, and Jerome, Arizona.
AS it takes sixty to ninety days
for the Salt Lake smelters to realize
on the ore accepted from Goldfield
and Tonopah, for several weeks they
have been unable to procure the
money with which to swing the rock
offered by the Nevada operators, with
the result that many mines which
were not seriously affected by the
labor troubles were forced to sus-
pend operations for want of mar
ket
This, however, it is said, will be
changed by the action of the Tonopah
/ and Tidewater, so far as Goldfield
and Tonopah are concerned, the
! smelters at Denver, Pueblo, and Jer-
ONE being in shape to handle all the
available ore.
This action, it is believed, Will at
least furnish temporary relief to the
operators.
1t is again pointed out by railroad
men the revenue which Los Angeles
would derive from the Nevada min
ing camps if there were smelter ia
cilities in this vicinity to which the
operators could look for relief. Los
