The Chief Of Police. Mr. Harmon

TO GUST THE
PROSECUTORS
Sensational Charges Filed
i'm Bismarck
POLITICAL SCRAP STILL ON
ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL
MILLER AND STATES ATToR-
NEY PATTERSON ARE CHARGED
WITH FAILING TO PROSECUTE
PlGGERs AND GAMBLERS.

Bismarck, N. D., March 27.-Accusa-
tions have been presented to Judge
Winchester of the Sixth judicial dis
trict, for the removal from office of AS
sistant Attorney General Miller and
States Attorney A, T. Patterson, of
Burleigh county. The accusations were
filed with the clerk of the district
court, and in accordance with the stat
utory provisions Judge Winchester ap-
pointed R. N. Stevens and F. H Reg
lister to prosecute the cases.
The accusations in both cases are
of much the same nature and charge
that the defendants had credible
knowledge of violation of both the pro-
hibition and anti gambling laws of the
state.
1t is also charged that the defendants
had credible knowledge of the existence
of other places being in operation in
violation of the prohibition raw, and
that they neglected and refused to in
stitute proceedings against them, ex-
cept in one case, which was not insti-
tuted in good faith but ror personal
and political ends.
The proceedings nave created a SEN
sation in the city, and the general con-
census of opinion is that the defendant
attorneys have themselves to thank
for the charges made against them.
The conditions existing in Bismarck as
to the prohibition law are known all
over the state. and it is considered here
that the action of the defendants in
singing out for prosecution one person
and shat one a personal and political
enemy of the prosecuting attorneys
shows such undoubted bias and preju
dice that it win be difficult for them
to show that they came into the case
with clean hands.

Moroccan Situation Is

1T is BELIEVED THAT THE suL-
TAN OF MOROCCO WILL YIELD
PROMPTLY TO ALL CLAIMS FOR
PREPARATION FOR THE KILLING
OF DR.. MAucHAMP.

Paris, March 27.--In official quarters
here it is recognized that the Moroccan
situation is serious but the consensus
of European opinion being favorable
to, Frances action, the solution of the
difficulties is regarded as being very
simple and as not likely to produce
complications. The sultan of Morocco
is expected to yield promptly to all
claims formulated by the commander
of the French armored cruiser, Jeanne
Dare now at Tangier, SO soon as he is
convinced that the French attitude is
inflexible and that France has the
unanimous support of the powers. No
news has, reached the foreign Office rel
ative to the occupelion of Oudja by the
French troops.
A dispatch received from General
Liautey, commander of the column of
occupation, today announced that the
squadron of the Spahis has been order
ed to make a forced march from Sidi-
Belabbes, Algeria, to Oudja. Spahis
cannot reach Oudja before March 30.

STRIKE OF TRAINMEN IN WEST
WILL BE GIGANTIC.
There Are a Total Of 415,Ooo Employees
of All Glasses involved in the Cues
tion Of Strike Drawing $32o,Ooo,Ooo
in Wages a Year.

Chicago March 27.-If the gigantic
strike finally results on the western
railroads as the result of the refusal
of the general managers to accede to
the demands of the employees the sit
uation will be about as follows:
Number of railroads, forty two.
Length of single track, 10000 miles.
Number of conductors and trainmen
involved, $4,000. Number of locomo-
tive firemen, $4,000. Total number of
ali classes of employees, 415,000. Ag-
gregate wages received by all en-
ployes, yearly, $320.00O,0O0 Popula-
tion in threatened district, 10000, 900.
Just what is going to prevent the
strike is not known, unless something
more happens along the line of action
taken by the employees or the North
western system, who have decided not
to strike if other employees do, but to
treat with the road separately.
Although managers declared Monday
that they had gone as far as they could
go, employees still feel that greater con-
cessions are to be offered them and
therefore they believe that they will
not have to strike.

Valley City, N d., March 27.-Judge
Burke has ordered a new trial in the
case of the Dakota Artesian Well Co.
VS.. r. F. Fairbanks. The plaintiffs
dug an artesian well for the defendant
on his farm nine miles from the city
for the consideration of $1,100. They
guaranteed that the water supply
would be plentiful 1t appeared that
there was plenty Of water but ii was
not Of the kind Mr. Fairbanks desired
and he refused to pay for the well,
.contending that the term sufficient
embraced the kind of water. The court
so held and the defendant won the
case. Now the court Ii doubtful about
that matter OF the term Sufficient" In
cluding the kind Of water and grants a
new trial The case Is interesting as
touching such guarantees. If the per-
son for whom the well Is dug must be
the judge of the palatable quality OF
the water secured, such guarantees
would be impossible.

CRIME RAMPANT
IN PARIS THIS YEAR
EIGHTY EIGHT MURDERS SINCE
NEW YEARS.
Chamber of Deputies Is Considering
Ways to Suppress Crimes Which
Have Had an Enormous Increase
This Year.

Paris, March 27-The chamber of
deputies is seriously considering the
question of how to prevent the enorm-
Gus increase of crime in France which
is a disgrace TO the country. One of
the members, the other day. called
attention to the fact that there had
been eighty-eight murders committed
in this city since New Years, or more
than one day.
The police are attacked with re-
volvers and stilletos in broad day
light, and thugs roam the streets in
the afternoon attacking harmless citi-
zens almost in sight of the police.
Nearly all the jewelers. shops in the
center of the city have been cleaned
out and scores of burglaries are COM
mitted every night.
M. Clemenceau. the prime minister,
says he knows that the police force
all over France is far from sufficient
to cope with the criminal classes. Paris
with her 100000 inhabitants is
guarded only by 10000 policemen and
$40 plain clothes men, and OF these
379 had been wounded last year while
on duty, some of them so severely that
they will never fully recover.
M. Henri Cochin member. of the
chamber, referring to the present cpl
demic of crime in the north of France,
said he was convinced that the pro-
vincial criminal now knew no re-
straint, as he thinks that capital pun
ishment has been abolished and that 1t
was absolutely necessary to guillotine
a few murderers to restore the belief
in the power of the authorities.
No Place for Guillotine.
1t will be remembered that when the
old guillotine was pulled down from
where ii stood in Mazas prison no new
place could be found for it's e-erection.
The inhabitants of each suggested
place strongly protested against the
erection Of such gruesome object
among them, and at the present time
there is no place here where capital
punishment may be meted out. 1t was
then suggested that as no place could
be found for 1T, the guillotine should
be sent to a museum as a curiosity.
1t was argued that capital punish
ment was barbaric and that no man
had the right to take the life Of an
other not even in the name of the
law.
Since last summer more than twenty
men have been sentenced to death, but
in no case has the sentence been car
ried out, and the criminals are laugh-
Ing up their sleeves.
One hardened sinner who had mur-
dered several people refused to ask
for pardon, saying that he was
ready to die, and added:
"By demanding to be guillotined I
annoy the state, for | know they have
no place to erect the machine and |
shall not have to die even though /
have threatened to sue for damages
because the state does not do Its duty
against me" "

Appeal Made for Patriotic
Cooperation
TO end THE CIVIL WAR
REVOLVING PEASANTS HAVE Sc
CURED RECOGNITION FROM
THE GovERNMENT-MANY RE-
FORMS WILL BE MADE IN THE
RouMANIAN GOVERNMENT.

Bucharest, Roumania, March 27.-
Measures proposed by the government
to meet the demands Of the revolted
peasantry and end the civil war which
is devastating Moldavy and Wallichia,
We're announced in today's issue Of the
official gazette in the shape of a pro-
clamation issued in the name OF King
Charles. The royal proclamation APP
peals for the patriotic cooperation of
the people to secure the re- establish
ment of tranquility and announces that
the sovereign has agreed to the inn
mediate suppression of some of the
heavy taxes, while hereafter the farm
lands will be cultivated by the state or
leased direct to the peasants.
All the larger syndicates hitherto en-
gagged in farming vast tracts of lands,
will be allowed to hold not more than
5000 acres.
The document also gives notice Of
the introduction of laws to ameliorate
the condition of the peasantry, facili-
tating tiia Iaising Of money to pay
rents, reforming taxation Of the small
holdings and revising the terms of the
agricultural agreements which at pres
ent practically enslave the peasants.

New York, March 27. The Retail
Dry Goods association has taken up
the question Of rapid transit. and have
resolved to take an active interest in
the future in all questions relating to
the obtaining Of adequate rapid transit
facilities for the residents of all sec
tions Of New York. The association
feels that the municipality is so hem
med in with limitations and so drawn
upon for what may be called the ncc-
essaries of life that II IL vain to indulge
the hope that 1t alone can work out
the rapid transit problem On the
other hand IL thinks, that the capital
usually anxious to venture into such
fields of investment is standing still
in front Of the ferment of public mind
and the rapid and radical changes OF
the law under which such Investment
must be made, -.

present to advocate the bill because
of the local commission it creates.
Senator Page and Asssmblyman Mer-
,ritt argue for the bill, but the signifi-

opposition by interests antagonistic to
the reform programme contemplated
by the governors measure. The Tam
many attitude towards the bill is In

Lunacy Commission
00 Begin It's Inquiry
Justice Fitzgerald Today ExcuS = <Thaw Jury Until
Next Monday Morning Pending the Com
missions Examination of Thaw

New York. March 27.-Justice Fitz-
gerald today excused the Harry K.
Thaw jury until next Monday morning
at 1O:30 o'clock, by which time he an
ticipates that the commission in lun-
acy which he appointed yesterday to
inquire into the present mental state
of the defendant will have reported its
conclusions. The commissioners who
will Judge Thaw had two long con-
ferences with Justice Fitzgerald today,
one preceding the brief court session
at which the prisoner and all his FAM
lily appeared, and the second following
the temporary dismissal of the jury.
After the second conference the com
mission notified District Attorney Jer-
ONE to appear before it at o'clock
this afternoon. The commission will
organize at that time and arrange as
to the future hearings, etc. 1t was
rumored that some of the sessions
would be public and some behind clos
ed doors.
For what may be the last time, Har-
ry X. Thaw was in court today to face
the jury before which he has been on
trial. The jury had been excused
while the appointment of the lunacy
commission was under consideration
The actual sessions of the court were
adjourned until today. 1t was expect
ed that in view of the appointment of
lunacy commission yesterday the
court would today again excuse the

jury from further attendance until the
commission has completed it's work
Thaw prepared for the day with more
than his usual care, believing that he
would be under the scrutiny of the
members of the commission at some
time during the day. After breakfast
he read the newspapers, taking a keen
interest in the various reports OF the
appointment of the commission to ex-
anime into his sanity. He appeared
puzzled at the different conflicting
stories told as to the method of pro-
cedure and asked A Russell Peabody
of his counsel to explain the procedure
prescribed by law Peabody remained
for an hour with Thaw. No other Wis
itors called.
The three appointees to the Thaw
commission have agreed to serve and
met Justice Fitzgerald today and were
sworn. They were then introduced to
District Attorney Jerome and to his
assistant, Garvan, representing the
prosecution, and to Messrs. Delmas,
McPilSe, Partridge, Peabody, Gleason
and O'Reilly, counsel for the defense.
1t will be decided whether the sessions
of the commissioners are to be con-
Quoted in open court or In secret. Just
how long the sessions will last cannot
be guessed at Thaw, through his
counsel has stated that he will grant
the commission every possible facility
to carry on its work so that no trouble
is expected when the commissioners
seek to make a personal examination
