,,le for the 1911 season, which will open
April II, with western clubs appearing
on eastern fields. 1t was decided to
book no double headers in the sc.ed-
ule, although postponed games will be
doubled up later in the season. The
playing season, Chivington announced,
probably would run a week or so lonse-
than the 1910 season.
The club owners decided after heat
ed discussion to have each club make
four swings around the circuit instead of
three, thus breaking up the schedule to
a three-game series, and giving each
club more games at home.
The plan of invading Chicago with
a club was not discussed, although it
has been reported that an option had
been secured on the north side with a
view of launching a team to fight the
National and American league clubs
in Chicago. The American association
is held to ten-year agreement with
the Eastern league and National COM
mission, and will be unable to formu-
late plans for expansion until the ex-
piration of the contract next fall.

NADVANCE0 Of
FREIGHT RATES

Washington, Jan. 12.-Official an
nouncement was made by Judge Glen
ents, acting chairman of the inter
state commerce commission, today Of
further suspension of the proposed
advances of freight rates in official
classification territory from Febru-
airy 1 until March Is. Suspension
was made voluntarily by the carriers.
1t Is probable that there will be a
similar suspension In the western
trunk line territory, arguments on
which are to begin next Monday
morning. The probability is that the
decision of the two cases may be
reached about March l.
Final statements by counsel for the
carriers largely in response to the
arguments for the shipping interests
were submitted today to the COM
mission.

BATTLE FOR
Lower RATES

Fargo, N D., Jan. l2.-The battle
tor lower express rates on laundry ship
ments in North Dakota is on today.
The railroad commission began its
session this morning and the big battle
between the express companies and the
clean clothes men is now in full swing.
The laundrymen contend that the rates
on finished laundry work are too high
and they expect to prove this to the
commissioners and to secure lower
rates.
The different railroads or express
companies interested are represented
by: E. W. Bennett, superintendent of
the Northern Express Co., which is
controlled by the Northern Pacific rail-
road; Route Agent Collins of the Nor
thern Express Co.; Superintendent S.
A. Davis of the Western Express Co.,
which is controlled by the 500 line
Superintendent Owens with the Great
Northern, and Attorney Duggan of
Grand Forks, who is appearing for the
express companies.
Among the laundrymen who are pres
ent are: A. L. Johnson of Devils Lake;
w. A. Collins of Grand Forks; Paul
Myers OF Wahpeton: C. Halstead of
Jamestown, and the Fargo laundrymen
are represented b VI. B. Leach.
The laundrymen are also represented
by their attorney, Guy c. H. Corliss of
Grand Forks.
The railroad commissioners finished
the hearing with the laundrymen at 8
o'clock this afternoon. and Judge Cor
Hiss will file brief giving the laundry
mems side fthe case and furnish the
express companies and their attorney
with copy.
The states of the different express
were also heard were also
heard, but it is not at all likely that
the commission will make a decision at
this time.

High SCHOOL DEBATING
CONTEST Held TONIGHT
MEMBERS OF TEAM WHICH WILL
REPRESENT BISMARCK WILL
BE CHOSEN.
Initiative and Referendum Will Be
Subject for Discussion-Other Talks
on Subject are Scheduled.

On Friday evening in the auditor
ium of the Baptist church, corner OF
Avenue B and Fourth street, six mem.
bers of the high school will compete
for places on the team that is to rep
resent the high school in the North
Dakota Debating league. Bismarck
entered the contest late, but with
good, hard work on the part of the
team selected, upon this occasion may
be able to make start along lines
that have been sadly neglected here
tofore. 1t means that the pupils
must work long hours over matters
that are not contained In text books,
but the benefits derived are worth
many times the sacrifice called for.
The contestants have worked hard
and will endeavor to convince all
present of the results of their Ne
searches.
An admission fee of 1Oc will be
charged to defray the necessary ex-
penses of heat, light and janitor.
The question for debate is that OF
the initiative and referendum. This
is one of the new reforms that is
sweeping the country, tending to
bring the government back to the
people. The question is very timely
in North Dakota as the matter has
been twice acted upon by our state
legislature and will doubtless come
up for consideration later in the pres.
ent session. After the team is chos-
en- and gets into good working order
they will be able to amass a great
fund of information concerning the
working of the system in other places.

DEFAULT|NG TREASURER
Of CASS COUNTY drew
five YEARS IN THE PEN
Was also Assessed Fine Double the
Amount of the EmbeZZlement
MCConville Brought to Bismarck Inn
mediately to Commence Sentence

Fargo, Jan. 12.-Outwardly calm,
and with no portrayal Of the emotion
which must have ragged within him,
Hugh A. McConville, the defaulting
treasurer of Cass county, pleaded
guilty before Judge C. A. Pollock,
in district court, late yesterday after
noon of embezzling $7,455.39 of the
county funds and received a sentence
of five years in the penitentiary at
Bismarck, with a fine of $14,910.78
imposed.
The sentence was passed only in
the immediate presence of Judge Pol
lock, A. w. Fowler, who appeared
for Cass county, and the remaining
court officials. r. M. Pollock, Of
the firm of Pollock & Pollock, ap-
peared for the defendant. Mr.. Nc
Conville's family had been present,
but left the court room before SEN
tence was passed.
Judge Pollock reviewed the case,
stating that it was the most difficult
that had come before him IL all his
judicial experience. He stated that
he did not expect to satisfy every one
in the sentence, but that, after very
careful consideration and mature de-
liberation, and in justice to all con-
cerned, the appropriate sentence was
"That you, Hugh A. McConville, be
confined in the penitentiary at Bis
marck for period of five years, be-
ginnig from today doom, and that you
pay a fine of $14,910.78. You now
stand committed"
After Judge Pollock had pronounced
the sentence he asked the defendant
if he had anything to say, and if he
did it was his chance to speak. Mr..
McConville merely answered, Il have
nothing to say, only that l have no
one to blame but myself"

the intent to restrain or to monopolizt
interstate trade. Most of the purchases
we're made, he said, before 1879.
1--WE thought it was the only thing
to do said Milburn, when man
came to us with a proposition to sell
out, to buy his plant at its appraised
value. Often it was practically worth
less and we could have permitted it to
60 to dry rot on his hands,"
He denied the charges of the govern
ment that Standard Oil had advantages
of such preferences from the railroads
during the period of acquisition that
it should now be punished. The con-
tracts between the railroads and Stand
dard Oil were not in restraint of trade,
he commended, when viewed in til eight
of the days in which, they were made.
Even his story of the South Improve
ment company, which Milburn referred
to as embodying a romance of our
times he said, was not Restraint of
trade" The trust agreement of 1892,
whereby the trustees exchanged their
certificates for stock of various "com-
mon owners of the Standard Oil COM
pany, came in for much attention. His
extended remarks about the reorganiza-
ton of the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey in 1899, which is what the
decree of the lower court would undo,
was summarized by Justice Hughes.
1.-THE net result" suggested Hughes.
Il, that the Standard Oil company Of
New Jersey after 1899 stood in place of
the trustees, and those who held GER
tifcates issued by the trustees there
after held stock of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey"
Precisely" said Milburn. II: is
quite simple when you understand it..
You see, there was the same boiy of
common owners of property both be-
fore and after 1892"

On the first Tuesday in the new
year Mr.. McConville, after serving
as county treasurer for four years,
and having been deputy for one
term previous, confessed to the board
of county commissioners that he was
short in his accounts $7,455.39. That
was the day on which the books were
turned over to the newly elected
county treasurer, Engebert Gilbertson.
The commissioners at once placed
experts on the books, in order to find
the exact amount of the defalcation,
and these men are still at work. It
is expected that they will finish the
work within the next two days.
Mr.. McConville said at the time he
confessed his shortage that he had
taken the money from time to time
since becoming treasurer. He said
that he had done this in order to meet
bills incurred through sickness and
family expenses.
A great deal of sympathy is ex-
pressed for the family of the default
ing treasurer and while the fault of
the husband and father is a heavy
one and, as usual in such cases, falls
with terrific force on the innocent
family, they will be upheld in the dark
hour by friends, of which there are
always plenty for the worthy in the
time of need. No event has caused
more surprise and genuine regret than
this.
