Fred Graham pitched for the locals and

The warmest game of ball that has
been played on the Oakes diamond this
season was the game Sunday after
noon between Oakes and Verona.
Verona came down strong, with Yer

Peterson of LaMoure for catcher.
Pete Hanson was in the box for the.
locals and Oscar Kroman was behind
the bat. Hanson played an excellent
game but our team was very weak in
batting and lacked team work. It

OAkES MILL co.
BADLY CRIPPLED

Owing to adverse financial conditions
and unauthorized speculation the officers
Of the Cakes Mill Company found they
were experiencing some difficulty in
meeting outstanding obligations and, in
order to protect the interests of all
creditors alike, called together all credi-
tors. Of the company last Friday and
laid before them the exact status of the
business. It was found that practically
all the capital Of the company had been
wiped out in losses, however, the value
of the plant with good accounts and
stock on hand offset the liabilities of
the company and would leave some
margin.
It was unanimously decided by the
creditors that it was necessary to effect
= complete reorganization of the COM
pany and continue the business in order
to conserve the best interests of all.
Practically all creditors agreed to the
plan Of reorganization which was sug-
gested by some who were the most
heavily interested. This plan contem-
plates the issue to each creditor of stock
in the new company for all amounts of
Indebtedness exceeding 500 and the
payment of all claims under this amount
in cash. A committee of five were
selected to work out the reorganization
plan, consisting of the following:
H. c. Mccartney, Oakes, N. D.
Ed. Walton, Oakes, N. D.
N. ]. Nelson, Oakes, N. D..
s. L. Perrin, Superior, Wis.
w. L. Nicol, Minneapolis, MINI.
The committee is actively at work on
the matter and it is thought that the
plan can be put in shape SO that the
new company can take charge and re-
sumo operation Of the plant within q
few weeks.
It is to be regretted that the mill
company has encountered this difficulty
as it is an excellent paying business
when managed properly and it is an in
9 dustry which is of great value to this
section of the country. The portion of
the plant which was built last summer
for the manufacture of durum flour is
the only exclusive durum wheat plant
in the state and there Is apparently a
more extensive market for durum than
for hard wheat flour.
It is thought if the company can be
reorganized as now planned that the
business can eventually be put on its
feet so there need be no loss to any
creditor and that stronger company
will be the result.
A complete statement of the present
assets and liabilities of the company
has been secured and is given as fol
lows:

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Through the

of a priest, Herman Billik, sentenced
to be hanged March 20 for the murder
of six members Of the vzral family,
now hopes to escape with a pardon.
Eighteen-year-old Jerry M. Vzral,
whose testimony more than any other
persons served TO convict the b.
hemian fortune teller, has now made
an affidavit asserting that his testi-
mony was simple perjury.
Blnmes Police OmciaI.
Vzral,. who is now a student in VAL
paraiso, Ind. asserts that he old the
story because a police official threat
ened him with a charge of murder I'M
less he did as the police wished him
to do. The credit for polishing off the
fictitious narrative he gives to an as

says, he was closeted forty times, the
conferences being from one to four
hours in duration. He further asserts
that the inspector Of police summoned
him at least fifty times. and that these
conferences lasted wv hours.
The confession was obtained through

O'Callaghan, head of the Paulist
Fathers in this city. and pastor of st.

And This Brings Him Prominent
" Forward for Vice-Pres-

SIMILARITY NOW TO
SITUATION IN 1896
Delegates at Large Not So Inn
pOrtant as Generally Believed,
Says National Committeeman.

Who is his candidate for President,
who will be the -four delegates at large
to the national convention from New
Jersey, and who they would likely vote
for were questions on hich former
Governor Franklin Murphy. chairman
of the State Republican Committee, and
New Jersey representative in the Re-
publican National Committee, refuses
to speak definitely when asked by an
EVENING STAR reporter. There vas
entirely too much of hat sort of Trims
going on, anyway, he said, and he did
not care to join in it.
The natural combination for the Big
-Four. he admitted, seemed to be Gov
ernor Fort, Senators Briggs and Kean
and himself, but what he was looking
for more than anything else was fou
men who we're strong in the party and
had experience in the work.
"Still, the delegates 1t large are not
as important as is generally believed.
We have two delegates from each Con-
gressional district. or twenty in all,
which gives the delegates at large only
one sixth OF the vote in the convention.
About this story that the delegation
will go unpledged to any candidate.
there is nothing extraordinary. 1t has
been the custom in New Jersey for the
last twenty-five years, n has only
been broken once in that time"
According to Mr.. Murphy, the politi-
cal situation is normal and healthy,
and very similar to that in 1895. At
that time Mark Hanna was working
Tor Mckinley and approached the New
Jersey delegation with a view TO find
ing out how many votes for his man he
could get from here.
I'VE are not for any particular mau
for the presidential nomination., he
was told. 1--WE are for Garrett A. Ho-
bart for Vice-President. Can you throw
! any Mckinley votes for him.
AT present the former Governor
went on, there is no cr~ystallized senti-
ment in the State for any one man for
President, but in South Jersey they
seem to prefer Knox, while in the
northern section there is a sentiment
for Governor Hughes of New York.
Besides these. there is a diffuseo
Taft sentiment all over the state
None of these preferences have hard
ened yet. but they will by the tim'
the convention is held"
In speaking of vice-presidential tim
Der Governor Murphy said that peopl
appeared to be looking for a candidat
for President from the West. and i
their hopes were realized his runnin,
mate would naturally come from TIN
East.
MANY think hat in that case Gov
ernor Fort would be the man for TIN
position" he said. "As Governor o
New Jersey he has made a rathe
brilliant beginning and this brings hin
prominently forward as a possible can
didate."
That was all he cared to say concern
ing the Fort boom.

themselves in characteristic fashion.

and .shone upon the crowd that, arrayed
in costumes fanciful and fantastic,

upon the dancers or wandered about to
see or be seen were princes and prin-
