OPPOSE IRONCLAD
ANTI-PASS LAW
EDUCATORS WANT LIMITATIONS
PLACED ON ANTI. PASS LAW
SHOW A GOOD REASON WHY
SOME LIBERTY SHOULD BE
GIVEN IN THE ACTION.

Educators over the state are work
ing for the defeat Of an ironclad anti
pass law, which has been proposed for
the North Dakota legislators.
The opposition of this law has been
started by some Of the local men in
the educational field and from the Of
flee Of County superintendent Riley
letter are being mailed to every mem
Der of the state legislature from the
Cass county district, asking that they
favor certain limitations in the law.
The reaoon for this Is that the edu-
Gators are looking with the best of
favor upon the boys and girls instl-
tute at the A c., which is conducted
by Professor Randlett, and to make
this an annual event, passes are neces-
sary.
Superintendent Riley has suggested
the following clause be placed in the
act, If 1t should be passed:
Provided, however. that persons en-
gagged in agricultural experiment sta
ton work, demonstration farm work,
farmers institute work, rendering SER
vice on good farming special trainH, or
doing agricultural college or univcr-
sity extension work, or the youth Of
the state under eighteen years Of age
when in attendance at industrial CON-
tests or meetings, the purpose Of which
shall be to teach industrial topics, are
exempt from the provisions or this act"

Bad Wreck Averted.

Sheldon, N. D., Jan. 14.-The pres
ence Of mind of the engineer saved
the Southwestern passenger from be-
ing wrecked at Elliot Tuesday even
ing. AS the train was approaching the
station 1t ran head on into a west
bound freight that was standing on
the main lines just west of the viii
lage. Had the passenger been running
at full speed it would undoubtedly
have been ditched and many of the
passengers injured and possibly killed,
but as soon az the engineer saw the
freight standing In his way he set the
brakes and greatly reduced the speed
Of his train. so that they did not come
together with force enough to do any
material damage. Beyond smashing
the pilots Of both engines and slightly
shaking up the passengers, no harm
was done. Just why the freight train
happened to be standing on the main
line as the passenger was approach
ing, has not been ascertained, but 1t
is believed that it had become stuck
in the snow and was therefore unable
to make the siding.

HILL PLEADED
GUILTY TO CHARGE
MADE WRITTEN CONFESSION
THAT HE TOOK THE POUCH,
SPLIT 1T OPEN AT HIS HOME,
BURNED THE POUCH AND APP
PRoPRIATEp CHECKS.

Abraham G. Hill pleaded guilty this
morning to stealing the United States
mail sack Hill is the man who was
arrested yesterday. He had pre-
liminary hearing this morning before
Police Justice Wade. in the absence OF
a United States commissioner, and
formally pleaded guilty.
In a written confession 10 Mr.
Chase, postoffice inspector, and other
federal officials, Hill states that he
stole the mail pouch on the morning
of the day in question, that he took
the pouch to his home, lie Third street
north, and there he cut 1t open and
took therefrom the mail contents. Aft
er going through the mail he burned
up the pouch and all OF the mail mat
ter excepting three checks which he
negotiated.
After the reading of the signed con-
fession to Justice Wade the formal
complaint was read to Hill, charging
the latter with the theft of a govern
ment mail pouch to which complaint
the defendant entered a plea Of guilty,
thereupon the court ordered that Hill
be held in custody pending the arrival
Of United States marshal from st.
Paul to whom the prisoner will be
formally transferred and taken to Fer
gus Falls for appearance before the
u. S. commissioner at that point. The
negotiation of the checks which Hill
took from the alleged stolen mail sack
furnished the clue to the postal au-
tf1orities who later were able to order
the apprehension of Hill who was trac-
ed very easily

night by those close to the bull inter
est that their position on wheat re-
manned unchanged and that there will
be no permanent decline in the i'm
mediate future so long as they main
tain their present attitude. The sur
plus is off the market and as they con-
tinue to hold it the market is easily
oversold on breaks like these OF yester-
day. There has been a drop OF almost
2 cents from the high point Of Tues
day, with the largest declines since
the advance from 951a cents Of May
in the past few weeks, part Of the
selling yesterday was by calendar
players who figured that there is gem
orally a profit in short wheat at this
time in January, especially when Fri
day comes on the 18th. There were a
great many bull opinions expressed last
night among a number OF the best
traders, who believe that the govern
ment overestimated the crop, particu-
larly in the northwest.
