THE ARREST OF VAN DUZER.

WASHINGTON, March "A touch
C the tragic was given to the closing
day of the Fifty-ninth Congress, when
late yesterday afternoon Representa-
tive Clarence Devine Van Duzer Of
Nevada was held up in the corridor
of the house by a group of men VINO
threatened him with arrest, prosecu-
ton and personal violence.
There were five of them, two coal
dealers, their attOr eys and two
others, said to be private detectives.
Van Duzer was waylaid as ne was
coming from the sergeant at arms
with the mileage money on his person
amounting to between $1,000 and
s11OO and judging from the medley
Of sounds and threats an effort was
being made to separate him from 4
part or all of it.
After wrangling with Van DuzeT for
five minutes one of the alleged de
tectives announced that he would
take the congressman into custody
and thus precipitated a spectacular
denouement. Capitol Policeman Web
Der had arrived on the scene by that
tim and as the sleuJh seemed about
to lay hands upon the agitated repre-
sentative, Weber stepped forward
and announced that Van Duzer's
person was sacred upon the dome OF
the Capitol and that any one who TN
dertoOk to restrain him or deprive
him OF his liberty did so at his peril
Being a member of congress an(
that body being in session, the Ne
vada member was immune from ar
rest for anything except for treason
Nor feIont There was a cessation o
hostilities for a minute or two, an,
then Weber escorted Van Duzer It

The 1907 Session Laws.

The present session Of the legislature
promises to make a lot of trouble for
the new 1905 code. Up to date great
many more bills have been introduced
than at any session of the past. If you
do not get copy of the new measures.
you will not know what is the law. The
quickest, cheapest and best way to
know the new law is to buy a copy Of
the Pocket Edition. = This will be
printed within a few days after the
governor has disposed Of. the last mea-
sure before him. It will, in addition to
the laws. contain 9 lot Of North Da-
kota statistical mat tel, which will be
.of interest, we think. The Pocket
Edition, will cost but q dollar, and its.
possession may save you much more
than this. Send this sum and your ad-
dress and The Tribune will have . copy
delivered to you as soon as printed.

When court convened at 3:2O O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon, the court room
was packed with people, men and wo-
men, whose curiosity led them to wit
ness the passing of sentence upon the
prisoners who have been convicted or
who pleaded guilty during the present
term Of court. The greatest interest
naturally centered in the Sawyer bank
robbers, who were the first prisoners to
to enter the court room.
Sullivan was called first and received
his sentence of IS years in the state
penitentiary without f1inching. Hayes
came next, and when asked if he had
anything to say before the sentence of
the court was passed upon him, he ask
ed for clemency and added that "when
I get out l want to do better" Hayes
also stated that he had previously put
in two years in prison for highway rob-
berry. He received his sentence of II
years and made way for Conroy. The
later asked that the time spent in the
county Jail since his arrest be taken out,
but the court informed him that his
conduct in Jail did not warrant any
clemency and proceeded to sentence
him to 20 years in the pen. Robinson
was on crutches and was the only one
who appeared to feel the shame of his
position. States Attorney McGee asked
that the court be lenient with the pri-
soner, showing that he had been in
strumental in inducing the other mem.
bers of the gang to plead guilty, and
also that he had been a model prisoner,
to which fact Sheriff Lee attested when
questioned by the court. II have moth
ing to. say,' was Robinson's answer
to the Court, when asked if there was
any reason why sentence should not be
passed upon him. Robinson was SEN
fenced to Ia years and 10 months.
i The following shows the number Of
years each prisoner received on the
different indictments:
i Charles Sullivan: Burglary third de-
gree Sawyer State bank, Brassett's

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington Special Writes Entertagy Of the Dngsn
outof the National Capital

Consequently the contract was divided
between the two companies. It right
fully belonged to the company making
the lowest bid, and if they could handle
half the contract, they could deliver all
the material. But then someone ''high
up'' would lose good job. There are
too many of the Senators and Represent
atives who are kept in Office by the in
fluence of corporations whom they have
favored.
For years the minor officials of the
Government have been fighting to have
new naval foundry established at
Washington. Tests have convinced
many officials that the government can
make their own guns cheaper and better
than can be furnished by contractors,
and why not the same condition in the
foundry business? 1t is pointed out
that the Government is paying q cents
pound for big steel castings that can
be manufactured at the navy-yard for
four cents! But it is safe bet that
castings will be purchased as hereto
fore.
The American Indian is not ''pass-
ing'' as rapidly as some authorities
would have us believe. There are over
half a million Indians in the United
States today, $4,000 of whom wear
civilized dress in whole or in part. In
dian families living in comfortable mod
ern dwellings, number $1,000, and 70,
600 Of our American aborigines can
read and speak English. When the
Government first began supplying the
Indians with houses they would take
possession in good faith, but the call Of
the wild would soon prove so irresistible
that they would stable their ponies ir
i Uncle Sans cute little structures and
live in their tepees. It is claimed
| however, that an Indian will not change
his house. no matter how large thu
I family. +. .Y..s s Il.

Washington D. c.. Feb. 4, 1907.

!. Washington D. c.. Feb. 4, 1907.
! To The Bowbells Tribune:
1.-THE American people are becoming
more like the French every day; they
take up the latest fad, believe in the
latest rumor, and read the yellowest
kind of journalism with avidity." This
statement from conservative Senator
of the United Slater is an extreme
statement. yet there is truth in his
words. Washingtonians do not have to
look beyond their own horizon to see
evidence of this condition, for not a
/ day passes but what some member Of
the House or Senate of the Government
of the United States breaks out with a
stream of violent abuse of something
or somebody. One thing must be taken
into consideration, however. and that
! is the desire OF. some newspaper men to
get scoop on their fellows: The wild
stories Of pending war with Japan as
an instance. i.
Some time ago several Japanese were
killed while attempting to rob our seal
islands, and Japan did not even ask
for explanations. Is it reasonable to
suppose that because few Japanese
! children were forbidden to attend school
]. with American children that fleet
Of Japanese battleships would
Immediately sail to avenge the
insult! A little common sense goes q
long ways in this world, and is condu-
Give to ones peace Of mind. But then
! it does not appear to take a large ques-
\ ton to arouse desire in the hearts Of
/. professional politicians to save the
country. The morning dispatches an.
nounce that Mayor Schmitz Of San
Francisco is coming to Washington to
confer with the President! It might be
4 possible for man under indictment to
60 arouse public sentiment that he
would escape the results his Of previous
misdeeds! 55< ..:sl
Is the Government in the grasp Of
+ the steel trust, It would appear
SO. Some time ago bids were opened
for armorS plate, and an Independent
company made the lowest bid. Senate,
Knox (late sof the Cabinet favor and

large amount of political capital out Of
the law and protect their friends by re-
fusing to appropriate the funds to put
it into execution.
The newspapers are proclaiming that
Cortelyou will overhaul the Treasury
Department when he assumes the Sec
retaryship on March 4, but the natives
of Washington are laughing up their
sleeves at the suggestion. The rami-
fications of the Treasury, Department
are so vast that employees in one room
do not know anything whatever of the
work of the division in the next room,
and to suppose that the new Secretary
will know anything but what trained
employees tell him is amusing. Cover
ment employees detailed to important
positions protect themselves in their
positions by minding their own business
and not letting even their own clerks
know all the ins and outs of the work.
Representative Adam Bede, at a
dinner given by the Momus Club re-
Gently, remarked that the cost Of secur-
ing nomination to Congress was al
most as much as the entire pay for the
term. When asked for contributions
to various charities. he had told them
that in order to buy seat he would
have to levy tribute on large corpora
tions. and if they paid his way he
would be expected to serve them. He
stated that even church organizations
had approached him for contributions
during an election. As Bede has moi
the reputation of ''mixer" with cor.
porations, it is fair to assume that the
size Of his bank roll did not warrant
being held up.
Washington is soon to have a Balloon
Club. A project is under way to have
an exhibition and fight Of balloons thil
spring, and this will give the young
bloods something to fool away thei1
time on. Perhaps the gas compan,
will act as sponsor!
Automobiling has been the principa
sport Of the upper ten" for SOM
years in this city, and evidence Of it
| decadence is manifested in the fac
that the police have just begun to ge
control Of the speed regulations.

same as costs in criminal actions, be-

Sec. 4. Payment When Not Made.
The right to indemnify shall not exist
and payment shall not be made in the
following cases: First, for animals be-
longing to the United States or any
city, county, township, or village in the
state. Second, when the owner or
claimant at the time of coming into
possession of the animal knew it to be
diseased. Third, for animals found to
have been diseased at the time of their
arrival in the state. Fourth, or when
the owner shall have been guilty of
negligence by willfully exposing his
animals to the influence cf infectious or
contagious surroundings.
Against Dividing the District.
An exchange says a petition is being
circulated and signed by large num-
ber of the taxpayers and residents OF
Bottineau county, which will be sent to
the county's representatives in the
state legislature asking that they use
their best efforts in opposing the divi
sion Of this judicial district.
The people are we'll satisfied with oul
judge, the Honorable E. B. Goss, ant
with the increased jurisdiction which
we have, at an expense of severa
thousand dollars to the county eacl
year, it stands to reason; that our courts
can be ably taken care of for numbe
of years to come.
At the present time all are in favo
of economy in every line and as divi
sion will have tendency to greatly in
crease the taxes, the proposition will
not meet with favor and this petition
will be signed by hundreds.
