thinks ABSTRACT
BILL became Law:
Did Governor Wait Long Be-
fore Vetoing Bill
Wants Writ Of MandanuS to
Secretary Of State

The supreme court of the state O
North Dakota will have to settle ;
nice point of law in the very near fu'
ture. During the session of the legis'
lature there was a bill passed by the
house and the senate regarding the
business of abstract companies, how
they should be organized and conduct
ed, and placing certain restrictions on
the conduct of their business, and max
ing it rather more difficult to start
a business of this kind than at pres
ent. The governor is, according to
the law, allowed fifteen days after the
legislature adjourns to sign or veto
bills left on his hands at the close
of the session, and if they are not
given some action by the time the tif-
teen days have elapsed the' bill be-
comes law. This particular bill was
returned to the secretary Of state on
March 2l with veto, and. this the
petitioner in the mandamus proceedings
claims was after the lapse of the fif
teen day period, he holding that the
time included Sundays, and this will
he the point the court will have to
decide. Whether the governor has fif-
teen days exclusive Of Sundays in
which to take action on the bills, Or
whether he must sign them fifteen days
after the legislature adjourns. The
petition to the supreme court is fo
a writ of mandamus to the secretary of
state compelling him to incorporate the
bill as a law and that it be printed in
the regular edition Of the session laws,
which is now in the course of prepar-
alton.
The petition for the writ relates that
the matter has been laid before the at
torney general OF the state and the
facts give,, him with request that
he commence and prosecute manda-
mus proceeding, but this request was
refused.
The writ is rctur,able May 4tl at

FISHERMEN HAVE
EXPERIENCE IN
TERRIFIC. storm

New Orleans, April 29-Fierce en-
counters with lashing hurricane and
| angry seas, two nights of exposure
and almost unending hours of hunger
and thirst, was the lot of scores of
fish and oyster men of the Gulf coast
fleets during the West Indian gale of
Tuesday and Wednesday. Stories of
suffering among crews of wrecked
schooners and oyster tuggers are COM
ing in today, brought by men who
succeeded in reaching villages after
long night in the gale off shore
Dispatches from Biloxi tell of the
return last night of Daniel Gorenao
son of prominent packer who. with
the crew of the schooner Arapahoe,
had a terrible experience during the
4S hours hurricane.
Losing their bearings and blown
from their moorings they ran short of
provisions and subsisted on boiled
shrimp for three days, the only drink
ing water available being that which
they caught during the downpouring
rain. Oscar Colson of Scranton, Miss,
captain of the schooner Reindeer was
near Arapahoe when the anchor line
parted during the terrific blow, the
Reindeer drifted two days and two
nights across the long stretch of Lou
isiana marshes and bayous to Catfish
Pass Colson reached Biloxi last night
after rowing more than forty miles
in a small skiff to carry relief for her
crew. he was nearly famished and ex-
hausted.

who have arrived in the city from the
surrounding country state that every
farmer is in the field and that work
is being rushed to the limit. The
weather today being cool makes it an
ideal time for spring seedlings and
it is expected that by night many thou-
sands of acres will have been seeded
In some parts of the county the early
sown wheat is appearing above the
ground Everyone in this part of the
state is optimistic but are not allow
ing their faith in the soil to get the
better of their judgment and almost
without exception they are practicing
the better farming methods which have
been so strongly urged in the papers
of the county for the past six or eight

(By Associated PressO

Washington, April 29.-Committee
meetings were ordered today for the
senators Of the more important COM
mittees who arrived early at the cap
itol to acquaint themselves with the
mass Of matter piled up in congress
and which has remained practically
untouched. The fact that when the
senate adjourned yesterday it was
not to meet again until Monday gave
an opportunity to prepare for the SER
ious business of the session which
was prevented by the factional fight
over committee assignments in the
republican ranks.
The house again had the free list
bill before it. An effort yesterday
to follow the lead of the senate and
adjourn until Monday was frowned on
by the democratic leaders because OF
an increasing number OF members
who have announced their intention
of speaking on the measure.

ing to its exposure to sun and air, will I,
it is believed by experts. tend to con-

in fear of all epidemic OF disease as soon
as the hot weather sets in unless the

Just what these steps should be to prove
