NEW DECISION
 BRINGS HOPE
HEINzE, MORSE AND WALSH, MlLLioNAIREs, MAY ESCAPE
 PRISON UNDER IT.
Common Law Is That Grand Jury While Deliberating Shall Listen
 Only to the Witnesses

New York, Jan 22-A decision by Judge Hough, in the United States court today, quashing the indictment against F. Augustus Heinze, has giv- en renewed hope to the friends and counsel of Charles w. Morse, now serving fifteen year term in Atlanta federal prison.
 Martin W. Littleton, Morse's coun- sel, said tonight that the decision may apply equally to the case of Morse anu that if he could establish similar fact he would move that na> valid indlct- ment was found against his client.
 Heinze was indicted October 12 1909, for violation of the National banking laws.
 In quashing the indictments Judge Hough says:
 "The common law is that a grand jury while deliberating shall listen to witnesses who give testimony and to no one else. except the authorized law officers of the commonwealth
 When this indictment was under consideration in the grand jury room John P. Fernster took part in the proceedings to the extent of asking some technical questions of other ex- pert accountants and throughout sug- gested the method of examining ex- pert witnesses thought to be allied with the defendant" Mir. Littleton said:
 Tt has been brought to my atten. l tion that the method by which the ] indictments (against Morsel were procured, included the service before the grand jury of non-professional official, designated by the federal gov ernment."
 There are still two indictments pending against Heinze, one of which charges over-certification of the check of Otto Heinze & Co. and the other misappropria'ion of the funds of the Mercantile National Bank for the ben | eft of Heinze himself.
 According to Attorney Smith. who has been assisting the United States district attorney in the prosecution the ouashing of third indictment to day will merely result in the delay in cident to obtaining new indictment under the conditions imposed by the
 court.

 All the stock was removed from the Levi stables in the fear that the fire would extend that far, but this build. lng was never in actual danger.
 The saving of the O'Bryan row of dwellings, on the south of the Waver. ly Hotel was regarded as marvellous by the large crowd that witnessed the work of the fire department. Chief Bedding kept his men posted at most advantageous points, and with eight streams at work the seething flames within the building could not reach out to adjoining property.
 Manager Petit late this morning requested the Sentinel-Recori to urge all former guests of the hotel to re- port at the St Charles Hotel as early as possible, or to send card, that they might be checked on the list to relieve anxiety as to their safety.

 Eleven bodies had been recovered up to 6:S0 D. m., and it is believed there are thirty-five or forty in the submerged cars.
 Robert Burrows of Montreal said:
 When the Pullman went down the embankment I was thrown into cor ner. stunned and covered with debris. Extricating myself went down the car clinging to the seats 1 found a woman on the floor, pinned under a seat
 "I tried to extricate her, but she was hopelessly pinnei She asked for her husband. After making her as comfortable as possible, we left the car and discovered the body of her husband, who had been killed. On returning to her We found that she had died in our absence.
 Leaving the car again we climbed the embankment to the second col onist car, which by this time was blazing We could hear the piercing shrieiks of women and children inside.
 Men tried to quench the flames by throwing snow, and hands were burn ed and blistered as they tried to tear away the burning timbers, but their efforts were futile.
 ''The anguished voices grew fainter and as the flames developed into a roar, the cries died away At the foot of the embanlment half of the diner and the roofs of two other cars were visible. All was deathly silent there.
 We returned to the Pullman to help remove the injured. A little boy in a blanket was handed to me to pass on. As l took him the wind blew the blanket open. The child was ter ribly cut but was conscious. I said to him:
 Are you in much pain?' and he replied: No, I'm all right, but mann ma is in the water, and his lips be- gan to quiver.'
 One of the brakeman on the wreck ed train said that when the smashed colonist car started to burn on the trestle work of the bridge, parts of bodies kept dropping through upon the ice.
 T never heard such terrible cries as when those cars went over the bank. I shall never forget it as long as I live" said Conductor Reynolds q put the killed at between forty and fifty. The first coach carried about thirty-fve or forty passengers and of this number but one man escaped"

FARGO CENSUS FIGURES.

To say the census figures for Fargo
are unsatisfactory would be putting it
mildly. The official returns show an
actual gain in the last decade of only
4,742--or 40 per cent.
The late directory figures indicate a
gain of over 6,OOO--or So per cent. The
directory was taken by experienced
men. The official census by youngsters
who knew nothing of the work. In fact
the present remuneration by the gov
eminent for census work is a premium
on slothful service-rather than eff
cheney.
Prior to the census The Forum urged
the commercial club to engage Man
Ager Pettibone of the Pettibone Direc-
tory Co. to supervise the work of the
federal enumerators. He was willing
to assistant for a reasonable remun-
GRAFTON. Nothing was done-and the
unsatisfactory figures are the result,
The expenditure of $500 or $500
would have insured a correct count.
AS the census figures stand for the
next decade-that small sum could
have been we'll expended. 1t would
have been a nice thing to have had
Fargo so on the records as having over
$4,000 people. There is no doubt in
the mind Of any well informed citizen
that there are more than that number
Of residents in Farso-and they were
here last April waiting and anxious
to be counted-but had no opportunity.
Grand Forks paid some attention to
the census. The gain there shows
eighty-four more than the reported in
crease in Fargo-and the percentage of
Grand Forks was So as compared to 40
here. The returns in Grand Forks
give exactly the same percentage gain
as Manager Pettibone's new directory
ahows for Fargo. But Fargo makes a
bad showing officially
1t is true that if the commercial club
had not finally done something there
would have been no count in Fargo-as
the census supervisor had been unable
to secure enumerators. How much bet
ter it would have been for the CONNER
cial club to have taken hold Of the
matter earlier and done it right!

WIVES FOR HoMEsTEADERs.

The Womans National Daily is
greatly interested in the question of
the homesteaders getting the right
kind of wives In a recent editorial
the following occurred
Nearly thirty years ago, when Da-
kota territory attracted large numbers
Of immigrants, and when homesteaers
by the thousand held down their claiG S
a lonely occupant of a quarter section
of the short grass land wrote a senti-
mental song. The Little Cld Log
Shanty on the Claim was the title of
the effusion. The spirit of romance
which it breathed was contagious, and
1t would appear that even after the
carly pioneers who grazed their oxen
on the sunny slopes in territorial days
have accumulated the desired fortune,
or sought SUMMER CLINE, the song
md the sentiments 1t inspired still APP
peal to their hearts, and especially to
the hearts of unsophistocated girls,
who cherish the thought that domestic
virtues are flowers that blossom in the
snow.
Recently announcement was sent out
from little South Dakota town to the
effect that a shortage of manageable
girls existed in the locality. Since this
announcement was made hundreds of
letters have been forwarded to the
mayor and the postmaster OF the Da-
kota village, asking for particulars Of
the shortage, and also for information

meath the surface of the play however,
bit of tragedy worthy of serious re-

out the great west, the northwest and
the southwest, on prairies and i'm

endeavoring to establish homes and de-

be the fact that we have outgrown and
cast aside the characteristics of the

order that they might achieve success
in life, the success that is achieved
only by those who win a home, how

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT.


The relationship between President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt continues
20 be source OF interest and bewilder-
ment to the political reporters, who are
trained in the art of looking at things
obliquely- have failed to take ac-
count of very obvious evidences in the
instance in question.
There can never have been a great
deal of uncertainty as to ability of the
two men named to understand each
other thoroughly. Neither is very
much of politician, and each--in his
way-is big man.
This being the case it would be
pretty hard for the politicians to get
them at loggerheads after a friend
ship that has been genuine and Of long
standing.
1t is pretty likely that no one. more
than the president recognizes Colonel
Rooseveit's failing-and his sterling
worth. The two men are as wholly
unlike in temperament as two men
could well be- But the most complete
understanding and the most hearty
liking are often based upon just such
unlikeness.

attitude Of busybody occasionally.
But his faults are those OF excessive
zeal, and not Of intention.
The president has much the manner
of an older brother Of his predecessor
in office. But he is big enough TO smile
at certain extravagances- rather than
to fall into an iH-humored mood.
1t is one Of the hopeful signs OF the
political situation that two such men
have their standards set higher and
further than political stratagems- and
that they can keep the willy and shrewd
in the dark by pursuing course
which is merely that of two high grade
gentlemen.
