Premier Robin Had Declared CHICAGO
Experts Said Canadian Barley Would
Not Sell Higher in the United States
Than in Canada,

Emerson, Man.. Sept. 12.-One of
the big topics of discussion in this
town and among the farming COM
munity, is the price of barley, and
since Premier Robins statement on
Saturday to the effect that Chicago
authorities had given 1t as their opin-
Ion that the quality of Manitoba bar
ley was not suitable for mailing pur-
poses and therefore would not bring
any higher price in the United States
than In Canada, the discussion has be-
come even more animated. Over in
West Lynne there is no farmer more
respected than VIM. Robinson. Mr..
Robinson had good crop of barley
this year and on Saturday brought two
carloads over to Emerson for sale.
There is only one elevator company
at present doing business there for
since the opening Of the Ridgeville
branch Of the c. N. r. all other eleva-
tors have closed down operations. Mr.
Robinson was only offered so cents q
bushel for his barley. He was not
satisfied and scooped up samples from
each car and went across to Pembina,
N. D., where he was offered SO cents
a bushel, difference of 81, $50 on the
two cars.

when on board were found three dead
bodies Of sailors and q fourth sailor
with just the spark Of life lett. The
hull was beached. but was recently

The messages referred to were

WOMAN WITNESSED
MARMARTA MURDER
Declared That She Saw Cor.
coran Killed Made No Re-
port to Authorities

Marmarth, N. D., Sept. 12.-Mrs.
Bert Glass Of this city, according to
evidence that she gave at the INQUEST
into the circumstances surrounding
the murder of Tom Corcoran. found
dead in his sheep wagon here. de-
clared that she had witnessed the
tragedy from window of her own
home less than 100 feet away. Her
husband, too, she said, saw a part of
the tragedy, but they made no report
OF the same. Glass is in jail at Medora
on charge of maintaining common
nuisance at the present time, while
Tom Carbury is directly charged with
the murder.
Mrs. Glass testified that she heard
the first shot while seated in her home
and that she went to window to find
two men engaged in scuffling near the
wagon. One was on top and he sud-
denly sprang back, raised his arm and
fired, the other falling back to the
ground again.
Then, the woman says, the man who
had fired kept the weapon pointed at
his adversary, ordering him to climb
into the wagon, and this, she says, the
victim finally did do. The other man
also went into the wagon, she said
and that was the last seen Of them.
A half hour later the woman de-
clared that she heard another shot
and that dog yelped. Her husband,
she says, was at home at the time.
Prosecuting authorities Of the coun-
ty contend that Carbury, who has q
wound in his thigh made by a bullet
seemingly about the same size as the
one found In Corcoran's body, at
tempted to surprise Corcoran; that
the later opened fire and shot his night
assailant, and that they then clinched
In the hand to hand fight Carbury is
charged with having gained posses
sion of the revolver and then opening
fire on his victim.
1t was the fact that the dog had
been shot that led to the discovery
Of Corcoran's dead body. G. H. Suit.
the mans employer. found the dog
down town with the wound, and went
to the sheep wagon to see why Cor
coran had not given 1t attention.
An examination of Corcoran's body
also shows unmistakable signs of
severe choking and blow over one
ear seemingly given with the butt OF
a revolver.

GOVERNOR NORRIS
WANTS TO Be GAR
Believes Governors Should Be
Caesars and Legislators at
the Same Time

Spring Lake, N. j., Sept. 12.-Two
methods in which the powers of state
executives throughout the union ought
to be strengthened, in the opinion of
Governor Edwin L. Norris of Montana
were discussed by him before the CON
ference Of governors here today.
The first vital step to be taken,
Governor Norris believes, is to be-
stow upon governors the power to
remove inefficient state officers charg-
ed with the enforcement of the GRIM
inal and remedial laws. The second
ts to grant the governor the right to
( initiate and refer Legislation to the
\ voters for their approval or rejec-
ton.
Governor Norris addressed himself
1 to Strengthening the Powers of the
Executive" In part, he said:
mo useful purpose can be served in
having unlimited authority to call out
,,the militia when it is desired to pre-
vent prize fighting, suppress gambling
,close wine rooms or enforce the GRIM
tnal statutes in general: To attempt
to suppress violations of the various
criminal laws by calling out the state
troops would be about as sensible or
practicable as would be the use Of
coast defense artillery in DESTROYING
sparrows.
THE constitution declares the gov
Ternor to be the chief executive officer,
! and commands him to see that the
laws are faithfully executed; but he
can accomplish little without the CO.
operation, aid and assistance of the
peace and prosecuting officers of his
state. In addition to the profound re-
greet that any right thinking executive
must experience when he observes
that offenders are going unwhip-
ped of justice, there is the further one
@of knowing that many people whose
good opinions he values believe that
he has adequate authority and that
his failure to act is proof of his con-
Snivance with wrong doing or indiffer-
ence thereto. Such conclusions are
but natural.
"The governor cannot 60 out and
arrest offenders, file complaints, con-
duct prosecutions and in person ad-
minister punishment. Those functions
must be performed by others, by
peace and prosecuting officers. It is
upon them that the necessary author
ity is conferred and upon them the
district responsibility rests. When
they. for any reason, fail to perform
their duties the laws are not faith
fully executed. If the governor is to
see that the laws are faithfully exc
cuted. he should have the authority
to direct, supervise, and in case Of
wanton failure on their part to dis
charge duty. to remove them from
Office.
"The bestowal Of supervisory con-
troll and power to remove from office
for dereliction of duty certain officers
charged with the enforcement for the
