Parting Between the BidweIIs
in Jail Most Affecting

Chicago, April 24.-Benson. Bidwell,
freed of prison sentence by the sacri-
flee of his son. Charles, walked from
the county Jail here today, free man.
The parting between the aged inventor
and his son, who has a week more to
spend in jail before being taken to the
pen, was affecting. 1t was the father,
about to breathe the free air again, and
not the son, self doomed to prison,
who needed and received the comfort
ing words.
The Bidwells were convicted of
swindling stockholders by means of an
alleged worthless cold motor"
Young BidwelI has appealed from
this decision and has expressed the
liveliest hope of ultimately gaining his
liberty.

NOW PEDpLEo TO OUTSIDERS.
NOW IN CONFERENCE.

Washington. April 24.-senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota threw a
bombshell in congress the other day
when he forced a record vote in the
senate on the proposition whether or
not the people OF the entire country
ought not be given an opportunity to
qualify for the civil service examina-
tions in connection with the prospec-
tive appointments in the census office
occasioned by the next census OF the
United States. Heretofore the people
of Washington and the District of Co
lumbia have had somewhat of a
"cincn" for jobs of this character,
largely because the examinations have
been held here and because few peo-
pie would venture to journey to Wash
ington from other states when both
appointment and the outcome of the
examination was problematic. II is
a dollar and cents proposition and the
people of North Dakota. as we'll as
those from all other states, should be
grateful for the fight Senator McCum-
Der made in order that they might
have the examinations carried to them
instead of the other and more costlier
method. .. ...'
A Fraudulent Practice.
The vote on the proposition was 43 to
80 in favor of the McCumber amend
ment and the ceusus bill was therefore
sent back to conference.
An investigation caused by Senator
McCumber recently showed that of
the forty-seven people in the govern
ment service in Washington credited
to North Dakota, only twelve have
been actual residents and that the diff
ference is made of sons and daughters
and others wha perhaps passed
through the state at one time or an
other and now give 1t as the place of
residence when, as a matter of fact,
such In not the case. OF course, the
action OF all such people Is obvious.
when they apply for government
position they usually select as a place
of residence the states whose quota
is not filled in the government ser
vice, thinking thereby to facilitate
their appointment. The scheme. al
though 3, a fraudulent one, has sue
fceeded so well that it is time to call a
halt, says McCumber.
