BASEBALL FANS ARE
HAPPY over PROSPECTS
OVER $1,000 HAS ALREADY BEEN
SUBSCRIBED FOR ASSIST.
ING ASSOCIATION.
All Bids for Erection Of Grand Stand
and Fence have not as Vet Been
Submitted and Action 10 Deferred.

There was a meeting of the Bis
marck Baseball Association of the g.
mile league at the Commercial club
Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock and
many matters pertaining to the sue
cess of the local aggregation this sea-
son were taken under consideration
and freely discussed.
It had been the purpose of this meet
ing to let the contract for the erection
of the grand stand and fence at this
time, but there were some of the bids
which had not as yet been received
and action was deferred on this mat
ter until the next meeting of the
fans. Col. C. B. Little has granted the
association the use of the diamond in
the east end of the city and it is
the intention of the management not
to overlook anything which will add
to the comfort of the patrons of the
games. During the discussion the
question of erecting the grand stand
on the northwest corner of the dia.
mond instead of the southwest corner
came up and it may be possible that
this will be the new arrangement of
the grounds.
The business men of the city re-
sponded literally to the subscription
list now that a good ball team has
been assured and with this support it
is confidently expected that the capital
city will be we'll represented on the
diamond this summer. The list will
be circulated for several days and it
it stated that every aspirant for the
team is digging down into his own
pocket for five or ten dollars to help
the team along. This shows the spirit
that predominates among the players
and is evidence enough
that there is a deep interest taken to
secure a good team. The first game of
the season will be played at New
Salem May IA, and the first game on
the local diamond is scheduled for
May q when New Salem will play
here.

atmosphere-and just so surely as
people become familiar with the best
in art, just SO quickly will the crude
in art be displaced through appreci'
alton of something better. 1t is, OF
course, idle to suppose that one shall
become a comeptent Judge of art
simply through studying for a time
photographs of prints.
But what can and should be OBJ
tanned is large measure of appreci-
alton. A work of art which is really
great will bear reproduction and even
though this may not possess the
pleasure giving power of the original
in a gallery three thousand miles
away, that measure of power which it
does possess is we'll worth taking.
Suppose we have pondered over some
masterpiece until we knew it literally
by heart and can see it with our eyes
shut with all it's impressive masses
and outlines and all its harmony of
light and shade. Should we not be
passing rich? And it can be done.
Anyone who cares to do it can accum.

This collection has been made by
experts. Every artist who know how
to draw at all has something to give

even have the most and best to give.
What constitutes an artist? He is
in the first place one who himself
knows how to see, and in the second
place one who has a gift for making
us see with him.
One great object of picture study is
that of opening the eys to the beauty
all around which an artists trained
eye perceives while it is missed by
others. This is the essential service
of all great men-to draw us up in
some measure to their own level of
insight, enjoyment and inspiration.

INDEPENDENTS WIN IN
Chicago Phone war
SIGNED ALLOWING
COMPETITION TO ENTER
BELL co. STRONGHOLD.
A SLAP At MONOPOLY IDEA
JUDGE kohIsaat's order Follows I'M
mediateIy on Heels of President
Wallis Declaration for Public Control
and against competition-May end
Two Receiverships.
(SpeclaI To The Tribune.l


Chicago, April IA new face was
put upon the warfare between the in
dependent telephone interests and the
American Telephone & Telegraph
Company by the order issued by Judge
Kohlsaat in the United States Circuit
court permitting the illinois Tunnel
automatic telephone system to con.
meet with the wires outside of Chicago
of Independent companies. In the face
of President Theodore N. Wallis recent
declaration that monopoly is to be
desired by telephone users Judge
Kohlsaat's order was held by the in
dependents as notable victory.
One event has followed fast upon the
heels Of oilers in this telephone war
fare of late. First Chicago was made
operating headquarters for the Bell
telephone business of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin, there
by becoming the largest telephone CEN
ter in the country. This was a signi.
ficant move, for the Bell concerns have
long sought to prevent the completion
of the Illinois Tunnel Company's sys-
tenn in Chicago and to the entrance of
the independents to Chicago by that
system
The management of the Bell inter-
ests deny that Judge Kohlsaat's order
has the significance of victory for
the independents. Nevertheless, it
came almost as an immediate answer
to the declaration of war against tele-
phone competition which was an.
nounced in the annual report of the
American Telephone & Telegraph
Company recently by President Vail.
After stating that public control and
regulation of public service corpora
lions by permanent commissions al
ready has come to stay and will rem
edy many corporate abuses he said:
1.-TWO telephone exchange systems in
the same place, offering identically
the same list of subscribers, if such
a thing can be imagined, are as USE
less as duplicate system of Highways
or streets in a village not connecting
with each other, but reaching all the
residents. Bona fide competition be.
tween local exchanges cannot exist"
The Illinois Tunnel Company has
about 10 miles of tunnels under the
business heart of Chicago; it also has
a telephone franchise under which it
must have 10000 authomatic telep-
homes in service by June l. It has
more than $4,000 now and expects to
exceed the 10000 mark in a few
weeks. The company recently went
into receivership, but it is being re.
One of the greatest OBJ
stacles to it's success in the telephone
field was its inability to secure tele.
phonic connections with OUTSIDE cities
and states.
The Interstate Independent Tele-
phone & Telegraph company has con.
necton with more than 1900 cities in
Iowa, Indiana. Kentucky, Ohio,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Missouri. It's telephones are estimated
to number 100000 which is more
than the Bell people have in the same
This company's lines sur
round Chicago, but had been unable

serumgard 4: a meeting of the Devils
Lake Civic League last October in
which Serumgard charged that the
states attorney, Mr.. DUEL, had failed
to enforce the laws, and that Duell
made reply that he was unable to do
SO because of law enforcement con-
ditiOns in the county. This evidence
was introduced for the purposes of
disputing that offered by Judge Duell
to the effect that statements made
at that time were somewhat different
On cross examination effort was made
to show that the address was nothing
more or less than a prediction talk
for l.. J. Wehe, then opposing DUEL
for reelection 1t was also attempted
to show that Duell had convicted be-
tween rs and IS blind piggers in the
last two years, but Silver Serumgard
to whom the question was propounded,
said that he did not know that Duell
had convicted any.
Ole Serumgard SAID that he saw
Cowan in the county auditors Office
drunk, and on cross examination adj
mitted taking active part to the extent
of sending a telegram to memberss
of the house urging impeachment of
Cowan. and asking A. J. Stade to send
a similar telegram.
His wife also was on the stand and
said that she saw Cowan in Gilbert
sons undertaking parlars at the time
OF Thomas Thoreson's suicide, appar-
emily dazed.
Rem Smell, clerk in the Mann drug
store at Devils Lake, and Charles
Smith, employed at the same place
declared that they saw Cowan in the
auditors Office on election night under
the influence of liquor.
Jacob Holiday, partially deaf. |
caused examining counsel to exercise
their lung power. He claimed to have
seen Cowan on the afternoon of gen.
eral election day.
Leah Bennett of Grand Forks, stem
ographer in George A. Bangs office,
said that she had been in Wehe's !
flee at Devils Lake when John Gordon |
was being examined by Bangs, and
that Gordon at that time said that
Cowan had been in the livery barn
on and off all night prior to election.

COWan Case will Probably
be Ended First Of Next
Week
Prosecution Closed Rebuttal
Rather Abruptly Yester'
day
Rebutta; Ended Suddenly

btS0OtS0t @uN~N SOVuSuy
Rebuttal evidence upon the part of
the prosecution ended rather suddenly
yesterday evening at 4:3O O'Clock, a
large number of witnesses having
been placed on the stand in rapid or.
der during the day, thus allowing the
early completion of the case so far
as the prosecution is concerned and
leaving only the sur.rebuttal and the
arguments.
There was an executive session of
the court last evening, while just
previous to that session President
Burdick referred the United States
Senator Gronpa matter to the news.
paper" committee. He stated that the
report recently published to the effect
that this matter has been referred to
committee vas untrue, but that mas
much as reference had been made to
the proposition, he would at this time
refer it.
surdiek's Testimony Not Received
Testimony that was proposed by
the prosecution to be introduced bear
ing upon the Burdick VS.. DeNOyer
case was not admitted by the court
on a vote of 26 to IL, it being ruled
out on the ground that it was entire
ly new matter, not having been
touched upon in the defense, and there
fore not proper rebuttal. President
Burdick Of the Senate was called to
the sand for this evidence, which was
not allowed.
Norton on Stand.
Secretary Of State p. ID. Norton was
on the stand late in the afternoon and
almost the direct lie was passed be-
tween him md John Cowan.
We'll, your a" started Norton,
when, after he had declared that find
ings in a case in which he was inter
ested had been turned over TO Judge
Cowan, Cowan had declared that no
such findings had ever been presented
But nothing more came Of it.
Norton declared that he had asker
several times for the decision, and
that there had been some talk of a
dirty dea" given him by COwan. On
cross examination Norton was asked
whether or rot funds of the secre
tary of states Office were carried in
his bank at Hettinger, but the ques-
ton remained unanswered under the
ruling on an objection by the prose-
cution. Norton also admitted that he
had taken an active part in the fight
against Cowan before the house of
representatives.
He was also questioned with refer
ence to newspaper stories that ap-
peared in the Fargo Courier-News and
the Grand Forks Herald and admitted
having taken part in sending those
stories, appearing at the time the i'm
parchment matter was before the
the house, to those papers. He was
also asked whether or not he had as.
sisted financially in paying the Herald
for the issuance of an extra paper on
the proposition, but denied that he
had, while he also said that he had
not paid tolls on any of the matter
sent out.
Explaining the matter, Norton de-
clared that this stuff was sent out as
news matter only, to which the people
had right of access, and which he de-
clared certain newspaper correspon-
dents were cEdeavoring to suppress.

Two Brothers TO SIT
ION The SUPREME BENCH
UNUSUAL INCIDENT WHICH PROB
ABLY Has NOT A PARALLEL
IN THE COUNTRY.
None Of the Local Attorneys Can Re.
call time When Two Brothers Sat
+. on Bench at Same Time.

Judge Frank E. Fisk arrived in the
kcapital city Thursday aft1cnoon hav-
ling been called to Bismarck to sit on
the supreme bench while three cases
ARE being heard, one in which Judge
Burke is disqualified and two in which
Judge Goss is disqualified. This brings
the state supreme court into an unique
/ situation
Probably for the first time in the
annals of the supreme judiciary Of
any state has there been two brothers
sitting on the same supreme bench
at the same time. Local attorneys
ransacked their minds Wednesday
evening to recall a similar occurrence
but none could be brought to mind.
Judge Frank Fisk will take his place
with the supreme court Friday morn
ing. Thus will the North Dakota SUI
preme jurists set a precedent which
will undoubtedly be unparalleled for
many years to some.

FEELING CROPS UP
AMONG HATTERS
AGAINST MOFF|TT
Old Animosity Toward National
President Is Displayed at
Meeting of Orange Local.

The old animosity on the part of or
ange hatters to the national body and
10 John a. Mof1tt, the president of the
| United Hatters of North America.
cropped out at the regular monthly
meeting of Local No. II at the German
| English School Hall. Orange. Il
meeting selected nominees for delegates
to the United Hatters convention in
| New York on May 8. Following the
election the following statement was
| made by one OF the officers of the local;
1T Is the general opinion among the
hatters thai the hye men selected will
be those In favor of the proposed re-
forms and changes In the personnel OF
the national office and tho same feel
ing prevails among the members of the
hat hnishers' locals"
A friend of Mr.. Moffitt last night de-
clared that the delegates favorable to
Mr.. Mofitt's reelection were also COM
mitted 10 reform policies, and denied
that the opposition would muster sut-
hclent strength to defeat him at his
contest this year. Other Orange FOLK
spoke differently, however, and n OF
his opponents declared yesterday That
elections up to present time had re-
suited in indications of a big sentiment
against the present regime.
Two important factors in the coming
contest which will make an impression
on the matters are the staggering blow
given Orange hating by the strike
which has resulted in much idleness
and the jubilation over the recent re-
versal of the Danbury decision. The
last-named incident will help Mr..
Mofftt, 1t is conceded, ever by his OPP
p~onents, but the injury to the business
in Orange, his enemies declare. will
result in selection of delegates, a ma
jority of when will oppose the present
administration.

POLICEMAN SHOOTS AT MAN
FLEEING ON STOLEN WHEEL.
Parent Accused of Theft ID
Sons Signed Statement.

After an unsuccessful chase for a
son of the accused, during which he
fired two revolver shots in the dark,
Policeman Luke Devaney late last
night arrested Simon Nielsen, Of 269
Washington street. Orange, for the
theft of a bicycle owned by George
Erhart, OF 4 Washington street, West
Orange. Nielsen was today held in $500
bail for the grand Jury by Judge Bray.
Erhart had left his bicycle near the
Nelson home, in an alleyway, at 23s
Washington street, and missed 1t soon
after Policeman Devaney passed. He
notified the patrolman and the latter
asked him whom he suspected, as the
wheel had been in sight up to five min
utes before it disappeared. Nelson's
name was mentioned.
AS Devaney hurried to the house he
heard a warning cry Of Police and
a man slammed the door in HIS face.
He pushed through and found two sons
and the parent. Peter Nelson. a son,
jumped IN the bicycle as the policeman
got in the rear yard. The officer or
dered the youth to halt, but the latter
continued to ride and Devaney fred,
first In the air. and then at the side
walk. Peter fell off the wheel and
started on a run down the Erie Rail-
road tracks.
The policeman then hurried back to
the house, got the story Of the fathers
theft and locked him up. The older
son signed a statement to the police
that his father brought the wheel
home, reused his two sons and directed
them to take the bicycle to a house in
William street, to which the family ex-
pected to move today. Policeman De-
vaney's arrival stopped the program.
