MRS. briggs AGAIN WILL
ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN RELEASE

The arraignment of Mrs. Gertrude
briggs. charged with filing forged leases
to property belonging to the late Jonn
Charnock, was continued to Saturday
by Judge Willis yesterday.
Another effort will be made by MRS
briggs attorney, F. C. Noleman, TO
procure her release on habeas corpus
proceedings instituted in the district
court of appeals yesterday. 1t Is con-
tended by Mr.. Noleman that the testl-
money at the preliminary examination
did not establish the fact that crime
was committed and that the bond OF
$4,000 is unrea sonably excessive. Hear
ing on the petition will take place be-
fore Judge Allen at 10 o'clock Friday.

sPEcToRs OPPOSE LESS.
State Inspector Hayward Returns
From Chicago - Accredited High
Schools Must Have Fiftsen Credits
as . Minimum Number.

Grand Forks, N. D., April 5.--State
High School Inspector r. Hayward has
returned from Chicago, where he at
tended the annual meeting of the
North Central Association of Colleges
and Secondary schools.
The list of high schools in this state
accredited by the association AZ the
same as last year, Devils Lake, Fargo
Grafton Grand Forks and Jamestown
The committee Of inspectors was
strongly opposed to the graduation OF
any pupil IN accredited high schools
from anything less than four years
course. One large high school in I'LL
nois, was rejected. because It graduated
some of its pupils at the end OF
three years course.
Fifteen Is Minimum.
The minimum number OF units fof
graduation demanded by the commit
tee was fifteen, 1t is probable, how
ever, that this minimum will be four
teen after next year. One school was
rejected because II required eighteen
units for graduation, II being the opin-
ion of the committee that this is toe
much to demand OF the average pupil
In former years the association has
defined units for credit toward gradu-
alton in commercial subjects. manua
training and domestic science. Detin'
ition of units in freehand drawing and
decoration were added this year.
re-" Visited Several Schools,
Mr.. Hayward while on his way to O
from the association meeting, visited
the Stout Manual Training school ant
the Dunn county (Wis) Normal Ag
ricultural and Industrial school, DOT
| at Menominee, Wis; the Crane Man
ual Training High school, Chicago, AM
the Mechanics Arts high and the Cen
trail high, st. Paul. BY means
these visits he secured many valuable
suggestions which he hopes to be abb
to use for the benefit OF the Mig

SAYS Smell Nc
REPORT SHt VS. B IS
IN SPITE or BIAS, HOWEVER, LIT.
TIE WAS CRITICISED.
StocLwsll Was Allowed to Publish an
Apology With Report But Other
Offices Were Said to Have "Done
Wrong" for Political Reasons.

Pembina Pioneer Express: The state
smelling committee" have completed
their labors and made their report to
the governor. From the report we may
judge that while there have been OPP
portunities for graft, there seems to be
very little proven to have been done.
The great fault has been the loose
ness with which the public business
has been transacted. In this the in
vestigation will prove of benefit in the
end. Both the officials and Legislators
will see that many things can and will
be improved in the future.
The report itself shows a very great
bias on the part of the Investigators.
The tone of the reports Of some offices
and the conclusion made by the inves-
tigators is very different from the re-
port OF the Office of the state super
intendent. In the latter, one can OBJ
serve distinct Apologize expression
Of opinion to the effect that while Mr.
StockweIl might have used rather poor
judgment. yet he has not done anything
against the law Indeed, they not only
apologize for him themselves, but they
also allow him to print in his own
apology in their report. On the other
hand, when they found something they
considered wrong in Mr.. Blaisdelrs Of
flee or In the penitentiary, the con-
clusion of the two members of the
committee were that such things were
done for political purposes. Mr.. Blais-
dell made a reply to the earlier report
Of the committee, but they did not add
this to their report, but on the other
hand used their influence to suppress
the same in the house and then in
their second report criticise the senate
for allowing 1t to be published as part
Of the Senate Journal.
However, 1t is all the better for these
officials that. they were Investigated
by these men whose bias Is so plainly
shown by their own report On the
whole the committee were forced to
acknowledge that Mr.. Blaisdell has his
books In better shape and has sys-
tematized his business with better
methods than had his predecessors.
Their greatest find" was that certain
stationery supplies furnished the legis-
lature were charged at too high price,
but also add that the prices were not
higher than had been charged the state
previously. The method of finding
whether the price was too high as
stated in the report was to ask rival
establishments in the city Of Bismarck
with a very natural result.
One remarkable thing about the re-
port when one looks at it as a whole,
is the fact that the committee give
Hon. H. L. Holmes, the retiring state
auditor, no criticism except that of
praise. This must seem to Mr.. Holmes
very complimentary under the circum-
stances, and all Of his fellow citizens
Of this county will be pleased to learn
that he has been able to satisfy even
these captious critics.
