Rep. Freeman of Bottineau
Roasts Apportionment Plan
Favored in the House.
SAYS IT IS NOTHING If
not POLITICAL TURP|TUDE
Bottineau Mans Speech in Favor of
the Minority Report Of Committee
on House Bill No. 27S COMMITTEE
Bill for Re.Apportionment) Ex.
presses Sentiment of the West,
(By George Davis.)

Bismarck, March 1.-The following
speech was made by Representative
Freeman of Bottineau county in favor
of adding additional representation to
some of the counties Of the state when
the house reapportionment bill was
under consideration in that body.
The house being in the committee
of the whole for the purpose of con-
sidering House Bill No. s27S Commit
tee Bill for Re-Apportionment) /,
the report of the Committee
of Re-Apportionment having been
read, Mr.. Freeman asked for
the reading of the minority
report from same committee. Same
having been read by the clerk, Mr..
Freeman moved that the minority re-
port be substituted for the majority
report and that same be recommended
to pass, which motion being seconded,
the member from Bottineau county
rose to speak upon the motion.
Gentlemen of the house, we are
about to take under consideration the
most vital of all the legislation that
has yet been spread before this body
during the present session. say
the most vital, for surely that is most
vital which determines the right and
the manner in which every man, wo-
man and child in the broad state of
North Dakota shall be represented in
the legislative body of this state.
am well aware that it is no light mat
ter to frame an equitable and just
bill, am painfully aware that exact
justice cannot be done, but a certain
kind of equitable and approximate
justice may be enacted. call to the
attention Of the gentlemen of this
house the provisions of the constitu-
ton applying to the matter before us,
"that the legislative assembly shall
fix the number of senator's, and d.
vide the state into senatorial districts,
which districts shall as nearly as may
be, equal to each other in the number
of inhabitants therein entitled to rep
resentation." Let us examine the re.
port of this committee and see if they
have even in the smallest degree at
tempted to comply with this consti-
tutional requirement.
now wish you to turn to the census
of this state taken In the year 1905,
and in comparison with the total of
inhabitants in the various counties
found therein, try to apply this COM
mittee report and see the manner Of
fairness, equity, justice and square,
dealing that is exemplified. You will
find that the county of Bottineau has
a population of 1914, that the Coun-
ty Of McHenry is charged with 1921
while the county of Mclean has 15,245.

BOY ORATOR, ANDERSON
Favoring the patterson" Bill-Senate
Passes Bill No. 66, Providing
Parole System for Inmates of State
Penitentiary and Reform School
Routine of House and Senate.
(By George Davis J


Bismarck, March TUESDAY the
house was one of storm and tempest;
of battle and blood; of the applause
of visitors and the groans of defeat.
Three measures, any one of which was
sufficient for day, were disposed of
in the two sessions of the body. Fol-
lowing the recess taken last night at
which the railroad commissioners
were the center of attraction, the
house proceeded to the consideration
of house bills on their reading. House
bill 232, introduced by Mr.. Martin of
Morton, making it misdemeanor to
injure, destroy or remove an electric
wire, was passed without opposition.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Steen
and officially known as H. B. 25S, pro-
viding that state banks be taxed for
the purpose of creating a fund to be
used by the state in the payment of
the depositors of defaulting banks,
was defeated.
A different fate was meted out to
H. B. 2S4, which provides for the
assessment of express, freight lines
and equipment, telegraph and tele-
phone companies, was taken from gen.
eral orders and placed upon its third
reading and final passage and was
passed. The same thing was done
with 274 which provides for the org
anization Of new counties. 1t had but
hayes while there were IS ayes.
H. B. 2S3, Mr.. Thoreson's bill pro-
viding for the bonding of certain offic-
ers, and H. B. 241, relating to the
location of county depostories, We're
passed, the former with IS and the
latter with.
H. B. 227 permitting the county COM
missioners to designate banks outside
the county as county repositories
where the amount of funds on hand
is more than can be deposited in those
of the county, was passed by vote
of S4 ayes and no nays.
Legislative Purity Bill.
The principal interest of the morn
ing session was on house bill 252,
officially known as a bill to prevent
lobbying in the legislature, but pop
ularly known as legislative purity
bill. Considerable amusement was
had out of the passage of the bill.
the most interesting feature being a
colloquy on the floor between Mr..
Stevens and Mr.. Sorley who was man
aging the bill. Mr.. Stevens stated that
in all his legislative experience he had
never been approached by a lobbyist
and asked to support any measure.
He asked Mr.. Sorley if he had ever
been approached and the answer was
inaudible. Mr.. Stevens suggested that
all those who had been so approached
should stand up but the idea did not
take. Someone seemed to remember

Men of North Dakota Last
Night at Bismarck.
LARGEST SESSION Of KIND
EVER Hello IN THE STATE
Ringing Resolutions Denunciatory of
False and. Malicious Reports of
Eastern Newspapers Upon Weather
and Fuel Conditions, Adopted
Commissioner Gilbreath Lauded.
tBy George Davi..)

Bismarck, N. D., March 1.-The
largest and most enthusiastic meeting
of real estate men ever held in the
state closed its 1ession last evening,
by monster melting at which a num-
ber of enthusiastic addresses were de-
livered.
Ringing resolutions denunciatory
of false and maliscious stories sent to
the eastern press relative to the suf-
fering during the present winter were
adopted. Nearly every county in the
state was represented and careful
investigation of the stories of suffer-
ing was made, but no case found.
Commissioner Galbreath was warmly
supported for the magnificent work
he is doing for the development of
the state.

wednesdays BIG TEMPEST
STIRRED HOUSE TO ACTION
Colloquy Between sorley and
Others on Appropriation
Matters-The Routine.
BY Georxe Davis.

Bismarck, Mar. "wednesday was
the day of big finances in the house
and if the average newspaper man
had one per cent of the amount of
money voted away by the house dur
ing the five hour session he would
not have day dreams of sheriffs and
night dreams of hundred insurance
statements and school treasurers' re-
ports. He would never wander into
the borders of Cass county. During
the afternoon the house passed every
appropriation bill which came from
the senate with only few small
amendments. One of these was an
increase of something like $4,000 for
the Devils Lake school for the deaf,
and the other the changing of the
location of the experiment station
from Hannah to Williston, where it
will be largely devoted to the matter
of dry farming. This is one of the
nice pieces of legislation which Re-
preventative Chapman is carrying
home to his constituents and for
which he deserves considerable cred
it. The house committee on appro-
priations of which Representative
Peake is chairman, had given the
matter of appropriations serious and
careful consideration before the bills
had been reported from the senate,
so that when these were sent to the
house, there remained little for the
committee to do.
When they were reported in the
house they were practically certain
of passage, though there were some
things which were expected to devel-
op along the lines of the distribution
of the one mill tax, which every one
knew would result in a fight After
the conclusion Of the routine mat
ters in the house. Chairman Peake of
the appropriations committee moved
to suspend the rules and to place
the several appropriation bills on

WELSH OBSERVE ST. DAWD'S
DAY IN ALL PARTS Of WORLD
More Than 100000 Sturdy
Sons of Wales in u. s.
Celebrate Event.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Chicago. ILL.,, March 1.-Sturdy sons
of Wales, of whom there are more than
100000 scattered throughout the Unit
ed States, largely in the west and
northwest, will today make merry in
celebration of st. David's day. st.
David is the patron saint of Wales, as
st. George Is of England, st. Patrick
of ireland and st. Andrew of Scotland.
Unlike many patron saints, the
Welsh character is not semi-mythical.
"Dewi Sant," or Dafydd, was born
about 462 A. D. He despised notoriety
and stunned public functions. He was
noted for his generosity and self-sacri-
fee. His great deed was the crumb-
ling of Pelagianism. While he was do
ing good work in the Vale of Roses
the heresies of Pelagius' were gaining
strength in Wales. Able men, full Ut
virtue, were spreading the doctrine.
Their teachings, the uplifting, were not
orthodox. They believed in God and
the holy spirit, but not in the son. The
old church searched for man compe-
tent to cope with the capable Pelagi-
ans. Finally they hit upon st. David.
Devil reluctantly complied with the
requests of the bishops. The effect OF
a powerful sermon delivered in a trum-
pet-like voice, with well-chosen argu-
ments, was marvellous. 1t dealt PEI
lagianism deathblow. Tradition says
that a white dove aHghted upon his
shoulder and that the, earth under him
raised to small hill during the deliv-
cry Of his wonderful sermon.
At the close Of this Synod Dubricious
retired from the bishopric of Caerleon
and at his request David succeeded
him. David achieved great success.
His visits to Ireland were especially
encouraging. He was canonized BY
Gallitus II in 1920. Some biographers
assert that Devil lived LAG years. but
later authorities are agreed that he
died when about eighty years Of age.

Mr.. Moore of the defense submitted
lengthy hypothetical question, ask
ing the witness how he would char
acterize the act Of homicide committed
under such circumstances. This was
objected to and the jury was with
drawn in order that the court might
hear arguments on admissibility of
the question.
DR.. Evans resumed the stand in the
Thaw case today, and Jerome asked
the witness II he had any knowledge
of facts that have not been testified to.
An argument was the result. Jerome
claiming that the only point in the
case was whether or not the defendant
was insane when the homicide was
committed. DIR. Evans was allowed to
answer and said that so far as he
could recall he had told all of Inn
portance that he could remember of
what he had heard and seen on the
first three visits to Thaw in the tombs.
Taking everything that you have
testified to into consideration, what in
your opinion was the mental condition
of the defendant when he wrote those
letters?" asked Jerome.
"He was in state of mental in
stability"
do you mean he was insane?"
Not necessarily. He was in state
Of MENTAL unsteadiness."
DR.. Evans attention was called to
Thaw's will and the codicil and he
stated that the ideas and deluslons
indicated In those documents were Diff
ferent from the ones indicated in the
letters.
"Are not the ideas or delusions
shown in will and codicil more con-
centrated than In the letters?" asked
Jerome.
eyes. that is my opinion" was the
answer.
The will and codicil were written
some years after the letters and DR..
Evans answer would indicate that in
his opinion Thaw's mental disease
changed in form and became more
serious.
DR.. Evans definitely stated shortly
after noon that at the time Thaw shot
and killed Stanford White he was in
sane, suffering an explosive outbreak
Of adolescent insanity. DIR. Evans
said cases of adolescent insanity had
been known to clear up over night.
Thursday Afternoon.
When DR.. Evans was handed the
letter marked exhibit 1. yesterday, he
spent long while examining it before
he said he was prepared to answer any
questions in connection with it. He
said the letter was irregular and dis
orderly, but did not in itself show that
the writer was insane.
"The letter shows a delusive state
in that the writer speaks of owning
Pittsburg politically" said DR.. Evans.
The alienist had some difficulty in
deciphering one sentence of the letter
and said it was incoherent.
When closely questioned, he admit
ted that he was unable to read the
sentence.
do you mean to swear that this
sentence you cannot read is in
coherent? Do you know what you are
talking about?" demanded Mr.. Jerome.

DR.. Evans reply was so low as to be

Chicago. March 1.-George w. Fitz-
gerald. teller in the sub-treasury from
whose cage $4,000 disappeared, was
today closely questioned by Chief Will
kie and Capt. Porter of the secret serv-
ice, but he was not able to give any
information beyond that already in
the possession of the government.
Chief Wilkie said today that the
government did not have the numbers
of missing bills and if the money has
been turned over to any outside bank
since its disappearance from the sub
treasury, the government will not be
able to locate it.
I've are going to check up with the
sub-trdasury, and with every national
bank in Chicago" said Willzie, "to
learn the number and series of all
bills of large denominations, which
were in the possession of the banks
at the time of the theft.
by this method we will eliminate
from the records the missing money
and hope to apprehend any person hav-
ing it in their possession, from this
time forth. If the money had been de-
posted in other cities, the government
will probably be unable to locate it."
