VICTORY FOR FROST
Suit for Foreclosure of Mortgage
Against R. R. Company Dis,
missed in Milwaukee
BAUBIEN FAILED TO MAKE GOOD

Judge Turner in Milwaukee. issued
an order Saturday dismissing the suit
Of Alexander Beaubien, young Wau-
kegan attorney, against the Chicago
and Milwaukee railroad company and
trustees of bonds issued by that com
pany, on motion Of Attorney Frank M.
Hoyt, for Beaubien.
Judge Turner's order was issued de-
spite the protest of the defendants,
who expressed themselves as being de-
sirous Of answering in court charges
brought against them. Judge Turner
ordered that the protest be included
in the order for the DISMISSAL
The action means cessation of eff
forts on part Of the plaintiff to secure
an order in Federal. Court for the
foreclosure Of the $1OOOO,oOO mortgage
on the Frost line. This motion was
to have been argued tomorrow before
Judge Peter S. Grosscup, United
States Court Of Appeals. He was no
tilted not to come to Milwaukee as the
motion would not be made.
The only explanation offered by the
plaintiffs for the dismissal of the ac-
ton was that the holders of 100000
worth of bonds who had promised to
aid Mr.. Beaubien in his suit had failed
to "make good.

what I said in court, said Attorney
Hoyt. eve simply dismissed the
complaint. We understood that there
were 100000 bonds behind this move
ment, but at the last moment they did
not materiaHze, for what reason I Go
not know. Consequently, we advised
our client it would be useless for him
to carry on a. litigation of this kind
with but ten bonds, as they would be
eaten up before the. case was conclud-
ed.'
Mr.. Hoyt was asked If he would
make any statement as to the real
parties behind the action, but he de-
clined, saying that it would not be
fitting for him to do so now.
"This plaintiff has made charges
against these trustees which seriously
reflect on their integrity as bushes,
men," said Attorney J. G. Flanders, in
protesting against the dismissal Of the
action, "and we should be given an
opportunity to show beyond all doubt
that the charges are false. We have
afidavits and can show that they are
false.'
Judge Turner pointed out that he
had no option in the case.
elf the plaintiff asks that his case
be dropped" said he, "the court has
no discretion, but he must grant the
motion. I will instruct the plaintiff,
however, to recite in the order the fact
that the motion was granted against
the protest of the defense.0
"The only inference I can draw
from the action Of Mr.. Beaubien is
that he concluded he had no cause of
action against us, said Attorney
Flanders. "There are other differences
that might be drawn" he continued
"but I don It believe it would be wise
to state them now The whole ex-
animation was fshy. A young lawyer
comes here from Waukegan, purchases
bonds from a broker whom he had
never seen before with $4,000 Of Dor

refuses to name. And there was an

that we did not have the opportunity
to prove the charges false"
The suit was filed on Nov. 5. In it
the plaintiff charged that the bank
and its secretary had co-operated with
the railroad company to "water" the
bonds of the company. 1t was charged
that one-half of the $1O,0OO000 worth
of bonds were issued to cover property

Burke Cochran on Taft.

There is a remarkable unahi-
nifty of opinion of Judge Taft
in all parties and in all sections.
Men pay tribute to his remark
able ability even where party
politics may exert such an
influence as to demand the
espousing of the rival presi-
dental candidates cause. AS
an illustration w. Bourke
Cochran in an interview at
Boston the other day said:
Yes, l shall support Bryan;
he is the best candidate the
democrats could put up. Taft,
however, is the greatest and
best qualified nominee ever
offered in any republic in the
world. He is a greater man
than Roosevelt, and when
surrounded by the same en-
vironments that made Roose-
welt great will prove a bigger
man. Taft is a wonderful
administrator, the greatest the
country has ever seen and is a
wonderful WORKER"

Mighty Thin Argument.

Oakes Times: Governor
Burke is taking all the credit
for cleaning up some blind pigs
west of the Missouri and Attor-
ney General McCue will not
have it that way. If reports
from that part of the state are
true-and the Times has no rea-
son to dispute them-conditions
on the Missouri slope are no
better, as far as selling liquor
is concerned, than they were
before either Burke or McCue
were elected. If that is all
Governor Burke has to recon-
mend him for reelection it is a
mighty thin argument and will
have little weight with think
ing men who will investigate
conditions as they are today.

have longer time to enjoy
the advantages of their
position and better men would
seek the places. The wisdom
of keeping men in office no
longer than four years is shown
under the present state law
which prevents state treasurers,
county treasurers and sheriffs
from serving longer than that
time. When the state was
young and some of the counties
sparsely settled it was deemed
inadvisable to make the four
year provision applicable to all
Offices because of the dearth of
fit men. That contingency no
longer confronts the people.
The state has been settled 80
rapidly that there are many
competent men for every place.
The law limiting official tenure
office to four years should be
general-and the election period
should be extended to conform
with the other regulation.

Governor Burke Forced to Explain.

Minot Optic: G. A. Johnson,
republican nominee for COVER
nor, seems to have John Burke
on the run. The democratic
governor is rushing into print,
taking two columns in the Far
go Forum, explaining his atti-
tude on the prohibition ques-
ton. There is no need of ex-
planation on the part of Mr..
Johnson. In the legislature
Mr.. johnson voted in all in
stances against resubmission of
the prohibition question while
the Optic is we'll informed that
Governor Burke's attitu de in
the past has been in favor of
resubmission. Mr.. Johnson's 8
position on the liquor question
has always been open and
above board and he is willing
to stand squarely on his record.
But there is no particular
surprise in the attempt of Coy
ernor Burke to square himself.
The democratic governor has
reason to be frightened. The
republicans of North Dakota
were never more harmonious
or the question of supporting a
nominee than they are on the
question of G. A. Johnson of
Minot. Johnson is a man upon
whom the people of North Da-
kota can depend and in whom
they have confidence. The
magnificent vote he received
throughout the state in stall
wart and insurgent strongholds
shows that he is not the candi-
date of any faction, but of the
entire republican party. His
election is assured.

Westhope Standards: Yester-

son was at breakfast, the back
door of the bakery, which was
not very securely fastened, was
pushed in and someone enter
ed, robbing the till of some
thing over $500 and helping
themselves to what goods they
wanted. Mrs. Doherty said she
noticed a couple of fellows, a
negro and white man, go in
the back way about the time
the robbery was committed,
but before this was made
known, they had made their
getaway on the freight. With
out doubt they will be appre-
hended.

School OF Forestry Opened for Fall
Term Monday.
LARGELY INCREASED ATTENDANCE
Enrolment viii Probably Reach
100 Before End of Year.--Dor-
mitory Badly Needed.

The School of Forestry opened
Monday for the fall term. The
enrolment on the opening day
reached twenty-nine, about
twice the number registered on
the first day last year.
The new building is being
used for the first time. 1t is
fine structure and especially
we'll adapted to school purposes.
Prof. Henry K. Wieman, the
new instructor in mathematics,
and Miss Myrtle Kline, head of
the commercial department,
arrived Friday and Prof. r. X.
Thompson, science teacher and
supervisor of experimental
work, who has been spending
several weeks in the govern
ment forest reserve in Colorado,
came Wednesday evening.
President J. Allen Kemp and
Miss Mary Carey, instructor in
English, have been home from
their summer vacations for
several weeks.
President Kemp is we'll pleas
ed with the enrolment on the
opening day and predicts that
the registration will reach 100
before the end of the year.
The need of a dormitory is
imperative and the Legislature
will be asked to appropriate
money for this purpose at its
next session. Students already
find trouble in securing rooms.
Our. people should do every
thing possible to meet the de-
mand, as the success of the
school depends largely upon
the spirit shown by the citizens
of Bottineau in caring for the
students.
