Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-02-21

In the absence of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Burdick Monday afternoon the
senate was called to order by G. w.
Plain, president pro TEN who pre-
sided for a half an hour.
The first business was the consid-
Grafton of the amendments offered In
the house to the concurrent resolu-
ton determining the date for the
closing up of the Introduction of bills.
The original resolution as 1t was In
troduced and passed In the senate
provided that except upon a two-thirds
vote there could be no more bills in
PRODUCED after the 45th day OF the
session, this being amended In the
house to the 51st day which amend
ment was concurred in by the senate
and the resolution has gone into
effect.
Under the head of petitions and
communications there was letter
read from the Niagara Agricultural as
ISOLATION endorsing H. B. 1923 which
provides that agricultural subjects
shall be taught in all high schools,
graded schools and consolidated
schools in the state.
Capitol Repairs.
In the committee reports there
were number of incidents. When
S. B. 299 which provides for an ap-
propriaton of $4,000 from the capitol
fund for repairs to the building was
reported the author, Senator WEIGH.
asked that the rules be suspended
and that the bill be considered en-
crossed and Immediately placed upon
it's third reading. Senator Simpson
objected to this procedure and al
though, as he stated. the president of
the senate had ruled otherwise, he
would object to the procedure and
asked that his objection be made a
part of the records. At this point
Senator Welch withdrew his motion
and the bill will come up in the fegu-
lar order Of business.
Divorce Laws.
S. B. 81 which was introduced by
Senator Turner by request and which
defines who may sue for divorce was

returned with a majority report that
i; do pass and a minority report that
it be indefinitely postponed. 1t was
explained after some debate that the
object Of the bill was to give the
wife the same rights as the husband
in applying for a divorce and provided
that any party asking for divorce
must have been a resident Of the
state for at least twelve months pre-
ceding such action 1t was shown
that the law on the books at the pres
ent time covers the question very
fully and satisfactorily and the report
to indefinitely postpone was adopted.
County Judge Bill.
Senator Cashel asked that the rules
be suspended and that the H. B. No.
254 be placed on it's third reading
and final passage. This bill provides
who shall act in case county Judge
is removed or in any other way pre-
vented from performing the duties of
his office and provides that an out.
side judge shall be called in. Senator
Cashsl explained that in his home
county, Walsh, the county judge had
been sick for some time and that
there was no immediate hopes of re-
covery and that probate matters were
becoming badly congested as a result
The rules were suspended that the
bill passed and as it has the emery
ehcy clause attached and will be
signed by the governor, the object
of the suspension of the rules will
have been accomplished.
Canadian Reciprocity.
Senator Hookway introduced a res
olution asking that there be appointed
Immediately committee of five. two
from the senate and three from the
house for the purpose of drawing up
resolutions and having them sent to
our representatives and senators in
congress protesting against the pas
sage of the Canadian reciprocity
treaty. The matter was FASTENED by
the action of the chair who Immediate
ly appointed the members and the
resolution was messaged over to the
house and there concurred in and

Mr.. Kennedy spoke OF experience in
carrying insurance under the present
81 stem during thirty years and be-
lieved it was satisfactory in every
way. He was against the Simpson
measure.
Elken thought the mutual insurance
companies had been brought into be-
ing because the board rates We're too
high and gave instances under his OBJ
servation. Martin of Billings was for
the bill.
Bessesen agreed for once" with the
senator from Stark. Stevens of Grand
Forks, who confessed he had been in
doubt abut how he would vote, ex-
planned that seeing the senators from
Stark and Wells shaking hands across
the bloody chasm' moved him to sup
port the bill"
The motion to indefinitely postpone
was lost and on the vote on final pas.
sage the senate stood 20 to Is, with
5 absent and not wing.
For chiIdren's Home.
Senator Pierce offered a concurrent
resolution which has for it's ultimate
object the establishment of a child
ren's home at Lisbon. the resolution
stating that the constitution calls for
a soldiers home at Lisbon, and that
there is a surplus in the fund for that
institution and that the time will soon
come when a children's home will be
necessary. The resolution provided
that the governor and the bard of trus.
tees Of the soldiers home be requested
to investigate the ACCESSIBILITY and
feasibility of establishing a children's
home at the site of the soldiers
home. and make report to the Thir.
teenth legislative assembly.
The bill introduced by Senator
Stevens of Grand Forks county caus.
ed great stir and was vigorously op.
posed by Duis of Grand Forks. who
contended that passing the bill would
drive out all the fraternal companies
doing business in this state, while
Stevens stated that it was only his
desre to see the bill passed in order
that the policy holders of the state
might be given the proper protection
AS tf'2re was considerable doubt in
the minds of different senators as to
the provisions of the bill it was de-
termined to let the matter 60 over
one day so the members might get
more knowledge of the proposed law

C0WAN IMPEACHMENT
COMING TO A head
EXPECTED THERE WILL Be RE-
PORT FROM COMMITTEE
TODAY.
Judge CoWan Before Committee fer
Greater Part of Afternoon Many
Witnesses Examined.

Concluding work of the Cowan in-
parchment investigation committee
was done yesterday with Judge Cow
an before the committee during al
most the entire afternoon. During the
morning Attorney Divet appeared be-
fore the committee for short time,
but the remainder of the time vas
given over to preparation Of the
evidence submitted by the prosecu.
ton for the purpose of putting it into
shape and securing explanation of
much OF it from the judge.
During the day statement from
the committee was given out through
Chairman O. p Jordal to the eifec'
that the published reports of the pro-
ceedings have not in any manner been
authorized by the committee. all evil
dencc having been taken behind clos

been sent from the city by the regu

from persons interested in the prose

the resolutions were prepared and
will be sent to the proper parties
Tuesday. There was considerable
debate on the matter but it was all
on account of a misunderstanding as
to the provisions Of the resolutions
and there arose no opposition to the
resolution nor to the plan of asking
the representatives in congress to use
their influence against the treaty.
Temperance Committee.
One biz was favorably reported
from the temperance committee which
provides that a county whose treasur-
ers have paid out rewards for the
arrest and prosecution of violators of
the prohibition law. There was a
law providing for the payment of
ttase rewards but it was declared un-
constitutional and this method has
evidently been evolved so that those
parties who in good faith performed
the work may be compensated.
Insurance. Legislation.
The senate wrangled for some time
over the provisions Of S. B. 129 by
Simpson of Stark, bill providing
against combinations among insur-
ance companies for the purpose of
fixing rates and automatically adding
2J per cent to the amount which may
be recovered under the policy where
such combination is known. Sena-
tor Simpson made strong plea for
the bill and stated that it had the en-
dorsement of the supreme court of the
United States and the Alabama -su.
preme court of the United States and
argued that the fixing of uniform
rates by an insurance expert, as is
he practice under the operation of the
tariff board. was similar in operation
to the methods of tax commission.
Duis of Grand Forks, attacked Simp.
sons bill and claimed that the Is per
cent clause was unjust and that In the
end it would have to be assessed
against the party insuring. Simpson
proceeded to quiz Duis as to the op.
Grafton of the mutual insurance com.
pany in which the Grand Forks sena.
tor said he was interested. He cross
questioned him on methods of fixing
rates and on return Of a portion OF
premiums to policy holders in form of
dividend and argued therefore that the
tariff rates were too high.
Movius moved that the bill be re.
ferred to the committee on state at
fairs but Simpson pleaded for a vote
n the merits. He said he assumed that
the senate was composed of fair men
and that Senator Movius is an intel
ligent man." Bessesen wanted vote
on the bill and was telling why when
Movius withdrew his motion upon
which Bessesen agreed ITO quit talk

City Commissioner j. P. Jackson,
who returned Saturday evening from
an extended visit in Ohio, Iowa and
other eastern states. had not been in
his office very many hours Monday
when he was waited upon by a few Of
the boys of the Bismarck fire depar;
ment.
Mr.. Jackson repeated part of his
conversation with them to a reporter
Of the Tribune a few minutes later.
He said:
II think that the city should go
ahead as soon as possible and give
the boys of the fire department a
''ni'ding that they would be proud Of
here is not another city in this Sec
ton CT the country where the fire ap-
opr:,tHs is housed in as poor quarters
as here in Bismarck 1t seems to me
that it is a shame, disgrace to the
city that this condition should exist.
1l'a boys should have fire hall to
be used for that purpose exclusively.
Since have visited several of the de-
paitments in some of the eastern cit
les and towns, | cannot help but won
der what possible incentive there is
for q single member of the Bismarck
department to turn ont to fires They
tuln out at any hour of the day or
night and on many occasions the suit
# clothes which they have on is ut
terly ruined, and all they get out Of
it is exemption from jury duty and
pcIl tax. Theirs is surely the high
st spirit of patriotism
But where would the city Offices be
if you built hall for the firemen ex.
c!usively?" he was asked.
Temporarily the commission
could meet in room over the fire
hall. think that it is a question of
only four or five years before the
county will build new court huse,
and at that time the city can go in on
he proposition and build a combined
court house and city hail. Look at
the fine building they have at Min.
'eapolis. Then we have magnificent
block here for a court house. With
a handsome new building and the
grounds kept in fine condition, it
would be credit to the city and
the state. and right opposite it would
be the city fire hall with comfortable
quarters for the firemen and their ap-
paratus."

THE M'NAMARAS
ARE MURDERERS
JAMES B. WILL GET LIFE AND ]. J.
20 YEARS.
Mechanical Will Be Released-Attorneys
for Defense Say Evidence Was
Against Their Clients.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Confessed muir
derer, admitted destroyer by dynamite
of a building in a catastrophe that sent
twenty,one men to death, James B. Nc
Namara waits the sentence that shall be
passed on him. In a nearby cell John
Joseph Mcnamara, secretary of the
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers,
waits sentence on another dynamiting
charge, that of having attempted to de-
stroy the Llewellyn Iron Works of Los
Angeles.
The plea of James B. Mcnamara was
made to save his brother. The plea oil
John J. Mcnamara was made in order
that the sentence of Jim" might be
lightened.
James B. Mcnamara probably will get
life Imprisonment.
John j, Mcnamara, it was rumored,
will get twenty years.
Each pleaded guilty to the charge Of
which he was extradited from Indiana
apolis.
Stree October II the trial Of James B.
Mcnamara, on the charge of numbering
Charles j. Haggerty, has been under way
in Judge Walter n. BordwelPs court in
the hall Of records, which also was the
mark for a dynamiter's attempt. Fight
ing stubbornly, the attorneys arrayed on
each side have contested inch by inch
as the case dragged on. 1t has been
won by the prosecution before even a
jury has been selected.
Admitting the case against their client
as dead open and Shut" that the fight
was hopeless and they were helpless, the
attorneys for the defense began two
weeks ago negotiations with District At
torney Fredericks and his staff looking
toward the ending of the case as it was
ended today.
Thursday an hour before the McNa.
mara brothers sat down to the special
Thanksgiving dinner that had been
spread for a few of the more favored
prisoners at the county Jail, attorneys
for the defense visited them and told
them of the moves that had been made.
The men consented to enter pleas of
guilty.
Ortie McManigal, arrested with James
B. Mcnamara and indicted for the
Llewellyn d%ynamiting, will probably be
released.

WORKS WITHOUT FAITH
Faith Came After the Works Had Laid
the Foundation.

A Bay State belle talks thus about
coffee:
while a coffee drinker l was a suf-
ferer from indigestion and intensely
painful headaches, from child
hood.
Seven years ago my health gave
out entirely. I grew so weak that
the exertion of walking, if only a few
feet, made it necessary for NE to lie
down. My friends thought I was
marked for consumption-weak, thin
and pale.
Il realized the danger l was in and
tried faithfully to get relief from med
%icines, till, at last, after having EN-.
ployed all kinds Of drugs, the doctor
acknowledged that he did not believe
1t was in his power to cure me.
while in this condition a friend in.
duced me to quit coffee and try POST
UNI, and l did so without the least
hope that it would do me any good. 1
did not like it at first, but when it was
properly made l found it was a most
delicious and refreshing beverage. I
am especially fond of it served at dim
ner ice-cold, with cream.
In a months time | began to i'm.
prove, and in a few weeks my indiges-
ton ceased to trouble me, and my
headache stopped entirely. l am so
perfectly well now that l do not look
like the same person, and 1 have so
gained in flesh that | am Is pounds
heavier than ever before.
This is what Postum has done for
me. l still use it and shall always do

TO PROTECT FOREIGNERS
United States May Send Body of Troops
Into China.

Washington.-The United States is
keeping ready in Manila an expedition
airy force of 500 to $500 soldiers for i'm
mediate dispatch to China to protect
foreigners and to keep open the railway
communication between Picking and the
sea-. This, it was declared by the United
States department, is not to be consid-
cred an intervening force in favor of
either the rebels Or the impeiralists, but
is merely this country's part in comply
ing, together with the other powers, sig
natory to the Boxer protocol, with the
provisions of that document.

BlGCORPORATONS ESSENTIAL
Steel Trust Head Appears Before Senate
Committee.

Washington.-Elbert II. Gary, the ex-
ecutive head of the United States Steel
Corporation, made a plea for "big bust
ness before the senate committee on in
t~erstate commerce, which is searching for
a solution of the present trust problem
in the United States.
Big corporations are essential to the
development of the county and the main
tenance OF business prosperity, he said.
To prevent their misusing the enormous
power that comes with wealth and con-
troll of industrial agencies, he thought
the government should take control of
them, through a corporation or trade
commission with absolute power to reg
ulate their affairs. Add to this a clear
law as to what can and what cannot be
done; the strong light of publicity on
all the affairs Of corporations, ana the
elimination of presidential and other
political issues from the bushes world,
and the unrest" that has spread over
the United States will largely disappear,
said Mr.. Gary.

Would Reduce Acreage.

Austin, TEXAS chairman of the gov.
ernor's cotton conference, Gov. 0. b..
Colquitt of Texas has addressed the
governors of all the Southern states sug-
costing that the mass meetings of farm
ers for the purpose of taking steps to
reduce the cotton acreage in 1911 be
held throughout the South December Is,
if the other governors have appointed
their county chairmen for organization
purposes as the New Orleans conference
of governors suggested. He asks that
the governors take steps to encourage
the meetings of farmers everywhere.

STUBS GETS BIG PENSION
Hartman Officer Will Get About SIS, 900
Yearly.

San Francisco.-John C Stubs, of
Chicago, director of traffic for the Har-
riman system, will go on the pension
roll of the Southern Pacific Company
next week. The pension will be i'm
perative January l, 1912.
Stubs will draw the largest pension
Of any one on the roll of the Southern
Pacific and the largest of any railroad
pensioner in the United States, or the
world, for that matter His salary for
the last ten years has been, it is said,
$4,000 a year. According to the rules
OF the pension department, he will get
each year for the remainder of his life
about Al per cent of his former yearly
compensation. In addition, he is to get
an extra allowance because of an ar
rangement made with him by the bank
ers and Chairman Robert S. Lovett.
For this reason he will be allowed
enough annually, which, with his PEN
sion, will give him, it is reliably stated,
$4,000, or half the salary he has had.
