GARFIELD MAY Be =.
PINCH0T'S LAWYER
FRANCIS J. HENEY IS TO REPRESENT
CLAWS AT BALLINCER.
PlNCHOT PROBE. a..

Washington, Jan. 15.-James Ru.
dolph Garfield, secretary of the inter.
ior in the Roosevelt cabinet, will be
Clifford Pinchot's attorney in the con.
gressional investigation of the Ball
inger-Pinchot controversy, according
to gossip here today.
1t is said that the opponents of Bal
l'nger plan to make it appear that
the prosecution of Taf;'s secretary of
the interior has the strongest pos
sible Rooseveltion tinge. To this end
Francis J. Heney, s.rong Roosevelt
favorite as grand prosecutor, is to
be engaged as the attorney for L. r.
CLAWS, who preferred the charges
against Ballinger, while Pinchot, the
former presidents intimate friend,
will appear as chief prosecutor with
Garfield, another member of the fa-
nous tennis cabinet, as his counsel.
Former Secretary Garfield has al
ready expressed publicly his deep
sympathy with the dismissed chief
forester, and it is obvious that he
would be strong ally N the fight on
Ballinger before the congressional
committee If his services can be en-
listed.
As prospective candidate for gov
ernor of Ohio, however, it is possible

Washington, Jan. 15.-Numerous
letters have been received in Wash

financier, now serving a term of i'm
prisonment in the Atlanta peniten.

tive clemency be exercised in behalf
Of Morse, while others, though few in
number, take the opposite view and
argue that the convicted man got his
deserts. So far as known no petition

Mrs. Morse, in her published inter

will be taken in due time.

ELECT OFFICERS
+. AND DIRECTORS
new OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF
COMMERCIAL CLUB ELECTED
t WANT IS new MEMBERS.


bers of the Williston Commercial
club held in the court house on Tues
day afternoon, Jan. IL, 1910. for the
purpose Of electing five directors to
serve for term Of two years, the
following directors were elected: w.
C. Rawson and C. A. Mansfield we're
reelected; the new directors to come
on the board are: Richard Peyton,
s. J. Creaser and w. H. Denny. After
the election of the above named direc-
tors considerable discussion was had
as to the work before the CONNER
cial club for the year 1910. The mat
ter they discussed was the advisibil-
ity of getting busy and see If Willis.
ton could not get a public building
from the present congress, it being
believed by everybody present that
it was possible to get public build
ing this year if concerted action was
made and everybody got together and
pushed for that purpose.
On Monday afternoon, Jan. 18th,
President E. c. Carney called spe-
cial meeting of the new board of d.
rectors to elect officers OF the Com
mercial club for the present year. E.
C. Carney was reelected president;
c. A. Mansfield, vice president; r. D..
Sutherland, treasurer, and o. D. Smith
secretary temporarily. After the
election of officers considerable time
was spent in discussing the outline
for the work to be pursued during the
coming year. 1t was thought by the
directors that the first and foremost
thing to be accomplished was for
everybody to get busy and boost the
membership to 200 members. There
is not any doubt that if everybody in
Williston who should belong to the
Commercial club would get together
and push for bigger and better Will
liston, a 10000 city, that 200 men,
bers could be easily gotten together
to work; that if 200 active members
can be secured, then the Commercial
club could accomplish a wonderful
work in the upbuilding and develop
ment of Willston and surrounding
vicinity. Williston needs adverHs
ing and needs it badly. The Great
Northern Railway has made the ad-
vance step by building pooth on the
railway platform whereby we can ex-
hibit our products, the Commercial
club having bound themselves to see
that. a proper exhibit is maintained.
All the other towns ;.:ong the line
have gotten out nice pictorial books
showing the advantages that they
hold for business and settlers. Will
liston needs to- do the same thing.
During the past year the Commercial
club can trace to their energy the
Great Northern depot, the Williston
company, the free city deliv-
cry (about to be instaned) and many
other things of less Importance. Let
everybody take the responsibility of
seeing that they call on the secretary
Of the Commercial club and put in
their application to become member
At once Don't wait to pe asked, but
ask to become a member and help
boost for Williston. a

MISTAKE BY PASTOR
ANNULS MARRIAGE

Butte, Mont, July John II.
Dewhirst and Miss Ida Else, 81 and
Is years of age, who are now on
their honeymoon as man and wife.
are not legally married at all, ac-
cording to a Montana statute. The
statute requires that two witnesses
be present at the a fact
that was overlooked by the Rev. A.
d. Bachelor, who performed the cere-
mony.
The minister in a letter received
this morning by Judge Michael Don
Ian, explained that it was impossible
to get witnesses and hal the young
people were in a hurry to get mar
rled. He asked for the courts opin-
ion on the matter. The law is strict
upon the subject and there is but one
course for the young people---to be
married again.
The statute governing the case
reads as follows:
Section 1923, Montana Statutes:
Regarding duty OF persons solemn
lzlng marriages. No person author
lied to solmenize marriages shall,
perform such ceremony until the
parties have given him the license
issued by the clerk Of the district
court for their marriage; and when
he has completed any such ceremony
he shall enter upon such license 4
certificate Of such marriage, showing
when and where it occurred and such
certificate shall be attested by two
witnesses to such ceremony; he
shall, within thirty days after sucn
marriage has been solemnized, re-
turn said license and certificate to
the clerk Of court, who shall record
the certificate in the same book
where the said marriage license is re-
corded.
The minister explained that his
family were away and that no one
al at home at the time the couple
appeared for the ceremony. He might
have gone out on the street ana
have pressed any two people into SER
vice, as. has been done in numerous
occasions. This feature was neg
lected. however, and'now the couple
must be married again.

MAN IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
SAVED AT LAST MINUTE,

Trenton, N. j., July 1.---With less
thar a half minute to spare, Arthur
Rose was saved from the electric
chair tonight by a stay signed by
Judge Minturn on a moving train and
thrown down from the window to
the condemned mans lawyer.
Rose was strapped in the chair and
the electrician was waiting with his
hand on the switch for the second
signal to send 2,1OO volts through
the body of the wife murderer, when
the frantic cry, stop, stop, a stay,
rang through the death chamber, and
Rose was literally pulled out of old
Charon's skiff Jaws as his journey
was starting.
! Never in the history of this state,
probably never in the history of the
, country, has a life been saved by q
reprieve in a manner SO sensational
or by such a narrow margin. Had
there been the slightest slip any
where along the line, the lawyer OF
Rose would have found his stay OF
no use.
Roses lawyer found the Judge
boarding a train, ratified off his rea.
son and authorities for asking a stay
and convinced the judge just as thu
train was starting.
Write out an order and I will
sign it," said Judge Martin.
! The order hastily scrubbed on
slip Of paper and handed to Judge
Minturn through the a window BY
the lawyer, who was running along
side the moving train. Hastily scrawl
ing his signature at the bottom Of
the order the Judge tossed it ou'
and the lawyer catching it on thu
fly, leaped again into his automobile
and shot away toward the prison, ar
irving just in time to save REESE.

GOVERNMENT NOW AFTER
THE GROCERY TRUST
The Housewife to Have a Hearing
After Long Suffering in the Reg
ulation of Combinations.

Washington, July LAT last the
The government has come to her re-
lief and has taken steps to see that
the prices of groceries shall be low
cred.
Ihere has been much talk about
higher cost Of living, and no ono
LAS appreciated it more than the wo-
men who have noticed the tightening
of their pocketbooks INC of their
market baskets at the same time.
1t is all very we'll for the men that
the government should pursue the
tobacco trust, the Standard Oil, the
plate glass, the plumbers, and all
the other trusts but these things in
terest the women but little, when
they see the prices of practically ev-
erything they want on their break
fast and dinner tables steadily climb
ing higher and getting out of reach.
So now the Southern Grocery
Trust has been brought to account
and it's officers are to be forced W
explain the reason for the high prices
which it is alleged their combination
has maintained. 1t is believed that
the effect of the action will be felt
by other sections and will result in
restricting the activity of other sim
liar organizations.
Besides appealing to the court to
dissolve the association itself and
declare it illegal, the government
asks that every one of it's 500 men,
bers or more be forever prohibited
from entering into any agreement
among themselves as to the prices
at which they should sell the necces-
stiles of life. The officers of the as
ISOLATION who are to be brought into
court at Birmingham, Alabama, are:
President Jos. H. McLaurin of
Florida, Vice-President l.. M. Hoop
er of Alabama, Second Vice-Presi-
dent F. E. Hashagen of North Caro-
lima, Treasurer C. w. Bartleson of
Florida, and Secretary Robert Moore
of Alabama, together with nine 9TH
ers constituting the advisory board.
Officers of the two big grocery con-
Germs in Birmingham r also to be
hauled to the bar.
They arc alleged to be wholesale
grocers dealing in interstate COM
merce in sugar, flour, cakes and
crackers, soap and washing powders,
cereals, soda and baking powders,
salt, milk products, canned goods,
sirups and other necessities of life.
They are charged with being engaged
In a conspiracy to maintain prices. 1t
is alleged that hundreds of thousands
Of dollars have been distributed to
members of the association by its Of
6eers as a reward for maintaining
prices and other sums have been as
sessed as fines and penalties for I'M
derselling the price list.
The association is a close corpora
ten and an outsider could not get il
without the consent of the othel
members.
