OPPOSE FEDERAL
GRAIN INSPECTION
EASTERN TRADE BODIES FILE
BRIEF OF OBJECTIONS WITH
COMMITTEE CONSIDER
ING GRoNNA BILL.

Washington, May 23.-Eastern trade
bodies, represented by the Commercial
Exchange Of Philadelphia, filed with
the house committee on interstate
commerce a brief of objections to the
Gronna bill providing for federal bu-
reau for the inspection and grading OF
grain.
Representative Gronna defended his
bill. He asked for additional hearings
that the Equity Society of North Da-
kota may be represented and present
its arguments in favor of the bill. The
hearings will be had, but it il not
probable any action win be had on the
bill at this session.
The brief sets up these objections to
the bill:
It provides for something that is I'M
necessary, the work now being per-
formed by state inspectors and boards
OF trade. 1t authorizes a compensation
Tor a bureau chief and chief inspector
that would not compensate competent
men. Grain experts require more than
three years experience in inspecting.
grading and buying grain. Fees col
lected would be too small in the aggre-
gate in many cases to pay salaries of
competent inspectors and their depu-
ties. Grain should be inspected when
loaded or as loaded. There should be
no authority in any one to waive in
spection of any consignments of grain.
Large dealers could evade the law by
building or renting private warehouses
or by storing grain in special bins in
public warehouses. The fee charged
would overtax the trade, and some
markets would not be self sustaining.
Too great discretion is lodged in the
secretary of agriculture.
Representative Gronna defended the
DILL contending there should be uni
formity in grading and inspection, and
that the grain growers were now be-
ing imposed on. He charged that
wheat purchased as No. 2 grade was
often exported as No. ] wheat. the
farmer losing the difference in price
between the grades.

RENEWAL OF
RUSSELL SUIT
SENATOR SIMPSON AND Asso-
cIATE ASK FOR JURY TRIAL
IN BOSTON COURTS.

Boston, May Ex-senator Leslie
Simpson of Dickinson, N. D., who is
recovering from his sickness, although
his eyes still trouble him, and Nelson
Sheldon, local counsel for the Dakota
claimant to the Russell estate, has
fired their second shot in the skirmish
preliminary to the coming second
great legal battle before the supreme
court
Their first move was in the shape of
a petition asking that the trial be be-
fore jury. The attorneys for Will
liam C. Russell will oppose a jury trial.
Senator Simpsons motion also asks
that the following issues be placed be-
fore the jury:
"Is the appellant the son of the said
Daniel Russell late of Melrose, is he o.
legatee under the will of the said Dam
lei Russell and Is he interestd in the
due administration OF the estate of
Daniel RusselI?''

LAW TO BE TESTED

Bismarck N. D., May 23.--Another
action will probably be brought be-
fore the supreme court in the near
future, to test the phases of the nom
partisan judgeship law The new law
was passed at the last session of the
legislature, and will govern the selec-
ton of supreme court judges, for the
first time at the coming primary and
election. The questions to be deter
mined are as to whether there are six
or three candidates to be nominated
at the primaries, and whether the
names shall be rotated, or shall appear
on all the ballots in the same order.
There is no provision of this special
law for the rotation of names, but
this, it would seem, would be gov
erned by the general provision for ro-
tation names where there is more
than one candidate to be elected to an
office of this kind If the names were
not rotated, but appeared in alpha
betical order, the first three or four
names appearing on the primary bal
lot, would, it is thought, have the ad-
vantage to the number of several thou
sand votes.
If the. action is brought three dis
trict judges will have to be called to
sit as members of the court since
three judges of the court are candi-
dates for nomination at the primaries.
Judges Fisk, Carmody and Ellsworth.

HILL OFFER IS
NOW SECURED
PRESIDENT ROBERTSON OF YVES.
LEY COLLEGE RECEIVED
COMFORTING LETTER.

Grand Forks, NJ d., May 23.-Presi-
dent e. p. Robertson of Wesley college
mas received word from James ]. Hill,
chairman sof the Great Northern. that
his offer of $4,000 couditioned on the
raising of the remaining S125. 600 of a
$l5O,000 endowment fund still held good
and the check for the amount would
be forthcoming at once. There was
$4,000 more of the entire fund of $780,
600 that was conditioned on the secur-
ing of the Hill offer and naturally. there
is considerable rejoicing in the ranks
of Wesley college, for the acquisition of
this endowment fund means that the
Methodist institution has been placed
on firm financial footing for all time
to come
DIR. Robertson secured the promise
from Mr.. Hill some time ago and the
limit expired before the required
amount had been subscribed. An ex-
tension was secured from Mr.. Hill but
this also expired before the amount
was secured. There has therefore
been little uncertainty as to the at
titude Mr.. Hill would take in the mat
ter, and his generousness In overlook
ing time limits means more for Wesley
college than can readily be imagined.
The other large contribution in the
$4,000 conditional on the Hill offer
is that of 100000 by Frank Lynch of
Casselton.
Great credit is due to Mr.. Robertson
for the untiring efforts he has put
forth to secure this endowment fund.
and Methodists all over the state will
rejoice with him in the success of his
efforts.

GRAIN FIRM IS
said TO HAVE
"STUNG" BANKS

Albany. N. Y. May 23.-Through
the alleged manipulation of warehouse
receipts the firm of Durant & Almore,
grain merchants with offices in AL
bany Chicago, Buffalo and Boston
has become involved in a financial
tangle which promises sensational de-
velopments.
The National Commercial bank of
Albany holds the company's paper for
100000 The First National bank has
$4,000 and many thousands more are
said to have been secured from out
of town institutions. According to
statement by Vice President James III.
Perkins of the National Commercial
bank, the company is hopselessly in
volved.
We are informed" said Perkins,
shat eight or nine banks hold the
firms paper, besides grain commission
brokers with whom the firm has dealt
and a number of individuals"
The exact condition of the firms af-
fairs is not known. The scheme by
which the money is alleged to have
been secured was a simple one. AS
soon as carload of grain was shipped
from Chicago for the local firm the
manager received the warehouse re-
ceipts. This was in regular course
OF business. Later on the warehouse
receipts are said to have been to mani
pulated as to make possible heavy
loans from the banks upon the bills
as security.

RADICAL CHANGE IN SCHEDULE
Georgetown to Have But Twenty
Games for Next Season.

Upon taking up the duties dccrulng
to his Office this morning, John F. crosby,
next years manager of base ball at
Georgetown University, announced that
next season would see a radical change
in the schedule of games at the local in
stitution. His long career at the school
has given him an insight into the advisa-
bility Of shortening the list of games,
and unless his present plans are mate
rally changed there will be no more than
twenty contests upon the Blue and Gray
schedule for 1911.
When it is taken into consideration that
this seasons string of games numbered
thirty-five it will be readily seen that the
ideas of the new manager arc extremely
radical OF the twenty games which ii
Is planned to arrange. almost all will be
against big schools while at least six VIII
he r1laved OF foreign fields.
The intention Is TO open the season AT
the usual time, shortly before Easter,
and to continue it until the middle OF
MAY. thus cutting off about two weeks
on the end In the past the last two
weeks have always been hard ones for
the PLAYERS many of whom have been
so burdened with work on account of
examinations that they have not been
able to play in some of the important
games An example of this was brought
out last Saturday, when crippled team
from Georgetown went down to de6eat
