Welcome Settlers.

Wahpeton, N. d., March 12.-
A large number of eastern settlers
are coming to this county. The
past week the Albert Weiss Land
company of this city has been in
strumental in bringing in twenty
one carloads of settlers from
Peoria, Knox county, ILL.,, and
there are more to follow.
The settlers are mostly we'll to
do and are or have been property
owners in their home country.
They are class understanding
farming and will be invaluable to
this country. In a great many in
stances they have purchased but a
quarter section apiece and expect
by diversified farming methods to
make their living therefrom.
By June l probably 500 Illinois
settlers, all coming from practically
the same territory, will be plant
ing their first crop in this county

.MIKL SENTENCED
TO LIFE in Pen
GRAFTON MURDERER PLEADED GUILTY
TO MURDER OF WIFE AND CHILD
SENT TO PEN FOR LIFE.

Grafton, N. D., March 12.-
arraigned in the district court this
afternoon on his plea of guilty to
the murder of his wife and child,
Frank Mikl was sentenced to life
Imprisonment at hard labor. Mikl's
wife and little baby were found
dead on Christmas and suspicion
fell on him. He was arrested but
stoutly maintained his innocence.
He was convicted by jury, which
recommended sentence of 30
years.
Mikl then broke down and con-
fessed his guilt. It was on his
plea of guilty that he was ar
raigned for sentence today. This
marks the closing chapter Of the
most brutal case ever aired in
Pembina county.

CRIMINAL LIBEL
IS CHARGED
H. E. PLUMLEY AND CHARLES BREWER
WERE SERVED WITH WAR;
| RANTS TODAY.

Grand Forks, March 11-H. G.
Plumley, proprietor, and Charles
Brewer, managing editor of the
Fargo Forum, we're served with
warrants this afternoon in which
they are charged with criminal
libel. Sheriff Taylor of Towner
county made the service and H.
H. Thompson, eldest son of ex-
United States Senator Fountain L.
Thompson, is the complaining
witness: and the actions grow out
of recent publications in the Fo-
rum of certain charges relative to
a Towner county land deal dating
several years back. j..
The actions that have been filed
against the two newspaper men,
both of whom are very we'll
known throughout the entire
state, will doubtless cause some
what of a sensation. Mr.. Plum
ley, in addition to being the own
er of the Fargo Forum, is post
master in that city, which position
he has held for some time.
Preliminary hearings in the
cases will be held at Cando. Nei-
ther of the defendants were placed
under arrest, formally, only the
warrants being served on them.
Some time ago the Forum
printed certain statements relative
to a state school and university
board land transaction, duplicating
q number of Towner county men,
among them Fountain u. Thomp-
son.

SENIOR SENATOR
PRAISES PRESIDENT
SENATOR McCUMBER DECLARES SUP.
P0RfERS OF TAFT ARE GROWING
SITUATION LOOKS GOOD.

w. w. Jermane, special repre-
sentative for The Minneapolis
Journal, sent his paper the follow
ing interview with Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota:
Senator McCumber of North
Dakota likes the Taft administra
tion and Taft personally. He
thinks Taft is growing stronger
with the people and it is his .opin-
ion that insurgency in congress, so
far as the president and his policies
are concerned, is practically at an
end, and that at present there are
in the senate only one or two of
that number which stood in violent
opposition to him during the tariff
session and the months following
it. Before the close of the present
session he predicts that these one
or two are to be brought over to
the Taft side of all essential fea-
lures of the legislative programme,
so that in the campaign which is
to follow the republican party will
again be united.
Speaking today about Taft and
his administration as he sees them,
Mr.. McCumber said: ~
Nv hen President Roosevelt
stood sponsor for William H. Taft
as fitting successor he did so with
a full understanding of the man, of
his character and qualifications.
He had entrusted to him the settle
ment of some of the most complex
and difficult matters which had
arisen during his administration,
and had become impressed, not
only with his broad and compre-
hensive grasp of public questions,
but also with his ability to secure
results. Taft was not only the
reliable adviser of President ROOse-
velt on all of the great questions
that we're brought to the front dur
| ing the latter's administration, but
also as a member of his cabinet he

SURELY LOOKS BAD
FOR JACK JOHNSON
BOB ARMSTRONG SAYS EFFRIE WILL
KNOCK White SPOTS OUT OF
JACK JOHNSON JULY 4th.

New York, March 12.-Bob
Armstrong, who knows Jack john
son, predicts that Jeffries will
knock white spots out of the negro
when that fight fest is held in San
Francisco on July 4. He says
Jeffries was never in better con-
dition than he is now, and Bob
ought to know what he is talking
about. r.
Jim Corbett puts his prediction
in this form:
johnson cannot knock out JET
fries. He has neither the strength
nor the courage. He might win
by a decision, which l do not ex-
pect, but to think he could stop
the boilermaker is sheer folly.
81 feel sure Jeffries will be right.
He wants to win the fight. He
looks good, and those who box
with him say he has shown endur
ance and excellent judgment of
distance. l am one of those who
think he doesn't need to be at his
best, for l think in comparison to
Jeffries, johnson is a counterfeit
champion"
On the other hand, as we say in
Dawson street, there is Billy Mad
den, with his declaration that JEFF
4ries can't hit hard enough to burst
a toy balloon. Well, Billy would
hate to be the balloon, even if he
is used to going up in the air at
times.

NORTH DAKOTA COAL RATE
LAW HELD CONSTITUTIONAL
CLAIM OF ROADS THAT COAL RATE IS C0NFlSCAT0RY
NOT UPHELD WILL PROBABLY MEAN GREAT
BOOST FOR LICNIlE INDUSTRY HERE.

The history of the case, which
ended with the above decision by
the supreme court of the United
States which holds that the So
called coal rate law is not con6sca-
tory, dates back to April Z, 1907
when an action was started in the
supreme court of North Dakota by
Atty. Gen. T. F. McCue compell-
ing the railroads to recognize the
law. The statute in question was
passed lat the 1907 session of the
state legislature. 1t fixes the maxi
mum rate that can be charged for
the transportation of coal in the
state, regulating as does the ;ntra-
state commerce. d.
On April Is, 1909 the supreme
court of North Dakota rendered a
decision holding the law constitu-
tional and in substance that the
railroads had failed to show that
the proposed rate was less than the
actual cost of transportation.
The reduction which is provided
by the statute averages about one
third less than the rates that are
now in vogue. a.
Immediately on filing of the ad-
verse decision by the state supreme
court, notice of an appeal was filed
and the case was carried to the
highest tribunal of the land, where
lit was he first of the year argued
by ex-Atty. Gen. McCue, Atty
Gen. Andy Miller and Atty. Guy
G. H. Corliss. The case of the
railroad was presented by Atty.
G. w. Bum of St. Paul.
From commercial standpoint
the decision will be heralded as the
greatest boom for manufacturing
in the history of the state. With
a 33 per cent reduction in the fue
rate, the Ignite industry in NORTH
Dakota will receive a great impetus

BURDICK REFUSES
TO Be ELIMINATED
IS STILL A CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS-
DOES NOT ACCEPT COMMITTEES
ACTION AT VALLEY CITY.
So far as I know l am a candi-
date for congress at the present
time. ~ ~. II. Burdlck.

Grand Forks, March 12.-The
story sent out from Devils Lake
yesterday in which Speaker q. l.:
Burdick of the house, now a can
didate for congress, it was stated,
refused to be bound by the action
of the elimination committee OF
the insurgent wing of the Republi-
can party, created something of a
sensation in the political circles OF
the state. The Times yesterday
was unable to reach Mr.. Burdick
by 'phone to verify the interview,
but in . a conversation with the
gentleman today he authorized the
Times to make the statement which
heads this article. T.,
Mr.. Burdick has been out of the
state for some time, having made
a trip to the coast, and it was dur
ing his absence on this trip that
the committee got together and
prepared the list OF candidates to
be voted for the progressives at
the primary election next June.
Mr.. Burdick states that he did not
know of the meetings of the COM
mittee and certainly had no part
in the one at Valley City at which
he was eliminated. The switching
of himself from the candidacy for

Washington, March 1.-THE
North Dakota coal rate law of 1907
was today held to be constitutional
by the supreme court of the United
States despite the claims of the
railroads that the law requires the
transportation of coal below the
cost of service.
In affirming the decision of the
supreme court of North Dakota,
Justice Holmes said that there was
so many uncertainties about the
rate being con6sctory that the su-
preme.court did not feel justified
in overruling the state court which
held the law would not prove con-
fiscatory if put into effect. The
affirmation was made, however,
with the statement that such action
should not prejudice the case of
the railroads if after the law went
into effect the measure did prove
confscatory. S ~:
Since 1907 there has been a law
in the state of North Dakota to fix
the rates On coal transported by
the railroads within the state. The
Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern Railroad companies fail
ing to put the rates into effect, the
state brought suit in the supreme
court of North Dakota to prevent
the roads from charging higher
rates on coal transportation than
those provided by the law of 1907.
The railroads replied that the law
was unconstitutional. The reason
assigned for this was that the
statute sought to take the property
of the railroads without due pro-
cess of law, and that it was an in
reference with interstate COM
merce. The supreme court of the
state held the law constitutional
and ordered the issuance of a re-
straining order. "
