POLICE ARREST
3 ACCUSED OF
FIFTY CRIMES
BELIEVED TRIO PLANNED TO

LONG AND SHORT HIGHWAYM EN-
IN TOLLS, SAY OFFICERS
Suspects Now in Jail Declared to
Have Been Responsible for Twelve
Robberies and TWoscore
HoIdups

CHARGED with the commission of
twelve safe robberies and more
- than two score of holdup crimes,
Charles Gavin, alias Britt; T. F. Gar
wood five times a convict, and Jimmie
Fifer, ex-convict and expert safe crack
er, are prisoners in the city jail.
The men were arrested Monday af-
ternoon and night by Detectives In

Hosick, Mcnamara and Mccain, work.
ing under the personal direction of
Chief of Police Thomas III. Broadhead.
The prisoners are alleged by the po-
lice to be responsible for the so-called
wave of crime which has swept over
Los Angeles during the last six months,
and evidence has so far been collected
which goes to prove them guilty OF the
majority of the crimes with which they
are charged.
Police say the proposed crime which
led to the undoing of the supposed
cracksmen and bandits was one which
they had planned for Sunday night last,
and it was no less than the blowing
open of the safe of the Majestic the
ater with the intention, if interrupted
in their work, of blowing UP the build
ing, themselves and the officers of the
law who would attempt to arrest them.
The Majestic theater crime had been
carefully and skillfully planned, the
police say, and only an incautious re-
mark dropped by one Of the men gave
the clue to the police which finally re-
suited in their capture.
Watched by Chief
From information in his possession
Chief Broadhead was convinced that
Gavin, Garwood and Fifer were the
men who had been engaged in all of
the holdup work in the city. Detec-
tives were assigned to the case to prove
that this information was right, and to
one of the men so detailed Fifer said
Sunday morning last, while eating
breakfast in a restaurant with the de-
tective, that "soup was soup all right,
but tonight I'll help pour soup into the
Majestic
Taking that remark as clue the de-
tective went to work and by night had
learned almost all the details Of the
plan to blow open the Majestic safe that
night, when the robbers expected to get
at least $1,000 in cash.
Sunday night ten detectives and po-
lice officers were hidden in and around
the Majestic theater building, ready for
the expected attack on it's strong box.
The hour set for the crime, between
IL p. m. and 1 o'clock a. m, came and
passed but no robbers appeared
Throughout the night the officers kept
vigil, and did not abandon their posts
until after daylight
Afterward it was learned that the
sickness of Garwood prevented the
crime that night.
Find Tools
That all preparations had been made
was shown by the fact that the men
had cached all their tools and expIo-
sives in vacant house almost onnosite
the theater. Here the police found a

Is it better to go to court and be a
martyr for principle or out Of OBJ
stinacy, or is it better to obey the
laws, however they may appeal to
US as just or otherwise? The ques-
lions are suggested by the fact that
a Grand Forks milkman languishes
in Jail because of his refusal to pay
a fine and costs amounting to some
$78. In the beginning the milkman
was arrested and fined for refusal
to clean up his premises in obedi-
ence to a city ordinance. The fine
levied against him aroused his COM
bative disposition, and he carried the
case to the district court, where the
sentence of the lower court was az
firmed with costs. And since the
defendant in the case obstinately re-
fuses to pay he has been ordered into
durance, vile or otherwise.

sent down to Washington to work
for higher tariffs on agricultural
products and it is related with sat
isfaction that while ne was there the
barley tariff and the wheat tariff
were both advanced. It does not
seem therefore that the farmers
themselves agree with the philan-
thropic editors who stand ready to
indorse lower tariffs-out of the far
mers' pockets.
We apprehend the farming classes
Of the state know what they want
and are watching the progress of
the tariff debates. They will remem-
Der that the tariff is big subject.
and full of opportunities to make po-
litical capital against those who take
a leading part in the construction
of the tariff bill. They also remem-
Der that the Minnesota people have
a particular grudge against Senator
'McCumber for his efforts in behalf
of the federal inspection of grain
and if they could defeat his re-elec-
tieon it would save the grain buying
interests of the state of Minnesota
many a troubled dream. It is al
ways we'll for the people of this state
to look with distrust upon these per-
iodical manifestations of interest in
their welfare by the good samaritans
of the state of Minnesota.

DARING Betting.


During the close Of the eighteenth
century the craze for gambling in Eng
land rose to an extreme. At certain
notorious clubs every incident was
made the subject Of wager, and thou
sands changed hands over the veriest
tribe. A certain Mr.. Blake made him
self notorious by betting 1880 that q
man could live twelve hours under
water. He hired daring fellow. and,
purchasing an old ship, they were
sunk together by way Of settling the
bet Neither ship nor man reappeared.
% Mr.. Blake had to pay up. The IA
NOUS Earl Of Carlisle once staked
$4,000 on a single card at faro. On
one occasion at Brooks, another noted
gambling club, Lord Robert Spencer
lost the last shilling Of the fortune
which he had obtained from his broth
er, the Duke Of Marlborough, and
General Fitzpatrick was in the same
condition. The twain combined, and,
borrowing a sum Of money, they open
I'd faro bank. They had a run OF
luck, and Lord Spencer's share Of the
proceeds came to 100000. he peck
eted this cash and never gambled

old lands cannot raise wheat year

els With increasing population will

lduction, but not in the same proper
tion,. as I have stated. We grew

81 want to call attention to another
fact, and that is that all of the great
ttrancontinental lines of Canada are
crossing this section and are build
ing their spurs on both sides for
hundreds of miles. Here Is the Cana
dian Pacific traversing it; here is the
Grand Trunk, reaching far to the
north; here is the Canadian North
ern traversing the same section; and
every one, with their smaller lines
or feeders, is bringing every section
of this country convenient to rail-
ways So, Mr.. President, we. may
reasonably expect that in less than
ten years there may be raised as
much wheat in this great northwest
as there is raised in the United
States.
"a number of senators have reiter-
ated several times that the farmer
cannot be benefited by duty on his
products so long as he is exporting
them; but, Mr.. President, any man
who has lived in my state for the
last ten or twelve years and on one
side of an imaginary line has regu-
larly seen the price of wheat from
IL to % cents a bushel more than
it. is upon the opposite side of that
line is pretty we'll convinced that
there Is something in the matter of
American protection-that he does
get protection.
''The wheat yield since 1882, dur
ing the years when much Of the
new lands in the west were being
brought under the plow, advanced
little over Is per cent, while the
population increased 100000 in
that time, or over 63 per cent. So.
Mr.. President, we will observe that
while the acreage and the production
may increase for the next ten years
at the rate of 10 or Is per cent, the
population will increase four or five
times a much, so that, necessarily,
we will not be a wheat exporting
country by 1920"

THE SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.

What promised only a few days
ago to be a quiet, uneventful cleo
ton for member of the school board
of the city of Bismarck, eliminated
in an exhibition of interest explain
able only upon the hypothesis that
the controlling motives actuat1ng
many of those who took an active
part in the contest were far re-
moved from school matters.
1t has been evident for some time
however, that there has been a great
deal of dissatisfaction with, and con-
tention and bitterness growing out
of, the management Of city schools
There has been an undercurrent of
opposition to the school board, a
dissatisfaction with the superintend-
ency of the schools and a feeling
Of distrust regarding the standard
of the faculty. The creeping in OF
politics and factionalism in the Sc
lection of members of the school
board in time past may have had
something to do With this feeling.
Anyhow it exists and has existed for
some time.
- Last year there was strong SEN
timent in favor of selecting an ear
nest, interested and capable woman
as a member of the board and this
sentiment, coupled with the sinister
motives of others who are more In
teresteds in political intrigue than
In educational matters has resulted
In the election. of an estimable lady
rs member of the board.
. The Bismarck Tribune has taken
no especial interest in the contest
just closed, first because the gentle
man whose term expires and who
has been a member of the board and
an active member certainly would
be acceptable successor to himself,
and second because no opposition
candidate was announced until q
couple of days before election, and
when announced was such popular
and capable lady no opposition from
newspaper standpoint was justi-
liable. :,
The loss of q good member is
equalized by the selection of another
who will undoubtedly justify the con-
f1dence of all who are interested in
the welfare of our schools.

THE AGRICULTURAL TARIFFS

.. THE, AGRICULTURAL TARIFFS
There is a general discussion
through the northwest with regard
to the agricultural tariffs, and we
have testimony from number OF
sources as to what the producers
want and what they do not want.
The Minneapolis Journal the other
day devoted some space to showing
that Senator McCumber. was misrep-
resenting the farmers of North Da-
kota in standing for fairly high ia
riffs on agricultural products, and
the statements of the Journal have
been taken up with avidity by the
opponents of Senator McCumber in
this state. =: -:
~ From time to time the democratic
press of the state has urged that the
senators and representatives of this
state should stand for lower tariffs on
agricultural products and It Is en-
tirely natural that this element Of:
the state press should take this
stand. The democratic party Is: and,
