Committed SUICIDE
THAT farm MIGHT Be
SAVED TO Ills FAMILY

GRAND FORKS. May 22.-Facts
which have developed since the sui
eide of Ole o. Bjorge, near Thief
River Falls, week ago, show be-
yond peradventure that he took his
life for the sole purpose of saving his
farm for his wife and nine children.
He disappeared from his home one
evening and the next forenoon his
lifeless body was found hanging from
a rafter in an unused barn about 80
rods from his house.
1t was said at the time that de-
spondency because of a contest which
had been started to get his farm away
from him was the cause of the sui
eide, but it develops later that he
was pretty certain that he would lose
the farm if he fought the contest out,
while it he was out of the way there
would be no question but that his
wife and children would get the land
and this was the reason why he
ended his wife,
Attorney N. B. Moran of Crookston
represented him in the contest; and
shortly before he committed suicide
he asked Mr.. Moran what would be
the chances of his wife and children
getting the land if he should die, and
his attorney told him there would be
no question but what they would get
the land without trouble owing to the
manner in which the law would be ap-
piled in the event ofhis death. Mr..
Moran had not the remotest idea of
what Bjorge was getting at, but the
fact that he committed suicide few
days later shows that he contemplated !
taking his own life if it would mean |
the saving of his farm to his wife and i
and as soon as he satisfied |
himself that such would be the case
he carried out his dreadful desterm.
ination not to lose the farm, which |
was practically all he had.
While there have been many cases
in which the contest conditions were |
similar. this is the first instance |
known where man deliberately |
eneded his life to save his property |
for his family.

FARGO SHES At
EXPOSITION Plan
USES HAMMER
GRAND FORKS IS SAID TO ALSO
BE KNOCKING ON THE IDEA.
WILL BOOST Minneapolis
State Fair Association Officials See
Decreased Attendance at Their A.
traction in Event That GiIbreath's
Plan Is Carried Out and Will Dis.
courage Idea Throughout State.

FARGO, May 22.-The proposition
offered by Commissioner of Agricul'
ture Gilbreath to the city of Fargo
through the local commercial club,
suggesting an Industrial exposition be
held in the city of Fargo, was turned
down flatly at a special meeting of
that organization. A letter giving
the Commercial clubs reasons for de-
Ginning the offer was directed to be
sent not only to Commissioner Gil
breath but to all other commercial
clubs of the state in cities of not less
than 5000 inhabitants.
1t seemed to be the unanimous
opinion of those present at the meet
ing that the whole field covered by
the proposed exposition should be en-
comprised in the state fair. Presi-
dent Scott of the Interstate and State
Fair association held this belief as
we'll as number of other prominent
members of the club.
Mayor Lowell and Mr.. Wheelock
both were of the opinion that If any
money were to be expended in the d.
rection Of exhibiting the agricultural,
dairying and other products of North
Dakota, as well as her liberal arts.
that better results could be obtained
by displaying them at the great land
show to be held in Minneapolis.
All of them spoke to that effect and
the meeting resulted in a motion be-
ing carried to draft a special letter,
setting forth the ideas of the Com
mercial club, to Commissioner Gil
breath and all the other commercial
clubs of the state. A special commit
tee was appointed to look after this
matter and it's membership comprises
President w. A. Scott of the Interstate
Fair association, Henry Amerland
and Harry H. Turner.
In his letter to the Commercial club,
Commissioner Gilbreath proposed
the city bidding for the exposition
should furnish $4,000 feet of floor
space for the holding of the exhibi.
ton, that the state of North Dakota
would give the show and prepare the
as we'll as to secure the
funds to carry on the exposition, and
over and above the expenses
was to be placed in the immigration
und of the state.
In opening his remarks, President
Hardy of the Commercial club stated
le had taxed with President Landers
" the Grand Forks Commercial club |
md had been informed that the bust
less mems organization in that city
lid not look on the plan with favor.
Mr.. Hardy stated it was President
.ander's opinion that the state fair
should fully cover the whole idea of
commissioner Gilbreath's pan and
hat such an exposition would be very
to the state fair.
Taking the same view were Henry
Mr.. Bristol, Mr.. Turner,
1ayor Lowell and Mr. Wheelock. The
ommittee appointed will look after
he drafting of the letter which will
e sent Commissioner Gilbreath and
he other commercial clubs of the
tate in the near future.

BOYLE NOT TO
BE- MADE MARTYR
BY THE BOARD

WASHINGTON, May 20-Both
Treadwel Twitchell and R. S. Lewis
of Fargo, yesterday entered vigorous
denials of the statements credited to
them to the effect that they would
urge the discharge of Prof. James
Boyle. who occupies the chair of po-
lical science at the state university
for his utterances before the senate
finance committee yesterday in favor
of the Canadian reciprocity.
Boyle, they say, reflected his invid-
ual views on the subject and by no
means represented the sentiment of
the people of North Dakota. While
they regret that the state university
in measure has been drawn into the
they nevertheless dis
claim any personal antagonism or i'll
feeling towards the professor.
I'VE hold that Prof. Boyle is not
practical and that his theories may
look well and sound logical but they
are in no sense the views of the
majority of the people in North Dako-
ta," declare the two men.

school at Mandan. In imposing the
sentence the Judge took occasion to
point out to the young men the error
of their ways and warned them that
unless they made decided change in
the mode of their living they would
soon face a more severe punishment

meantime which would demand other
action.

The sentence of "Teddy" Garrett
who was convicted of violation of the
prohibition law was also deferred I'M

SENATOR La Toilette
Continued from page ~

Democratic senators will support
the resolution which will be substi.
tuted for the LaFollette resolution
naming special committee of new
senators to take up the inquiry.
The Democrats held a caucus this
morning and decided in favor of the
resolution directing an inquiry by the
regular Senate committee.
Senator LaFollette had given no.
tice last week that he would call up
his resolution today, but Senator Dr.
ligham. chairman of the committee ON
privileges and elections, will intro
duce the substitute agreed on today.
1t is probable that the committee
on elections will be directed to con-
duct the investigation through sub
committee to be chosen from its own
members but affirmed by the Senate.
WASHINGTON. May 22-while
prolonged debate on the resolution
admitting to statehood Arizona and
New Mexico was still in order today
in the House of Representatives, the
chief interest in legislative affairs
shifted to the Senate, where the Lor-
inner case again commanded attention.
Senator LaFollette had previously
given notice that he would call up
his privileged resolution providing
for the reinvestigation of the right of
the junior senator from Illinois to re.
tain his seat and take the floor to
advocate it's adoption.
The resolution would name a spe-
cial committee, of which Senator
Works of California would be the
chairman, to conduct the inquiry.
Senator LaFollette desired it's adop-
ton without reference to the COM
mittee
Other senators want the resolution
referred to the committee on privil-
eyes and elections.
The hearing before the finance COM !,
mittee of the Senate on the Canadian
reciprocity bill was resumed today
with prospect that the hearings would
be continued throughout the week.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-Immedi.
ate Investigation by the committee on
privileges and elections of the re.
newed charges against Senator Lor-
inner Of Illinois will be demanded by
Democratic senators when Senator !
LaFolkette calls up his resolution Of |
inquiry later in the day.
The decision was made this morn.
Ing at a meeting of the Senate Dem
ocratic steering committee. The Sen
ate does not meet until 2 p. m.

Possible BUYERS Of State Securities.

Oklahoma City, Okla, April O.
State Treasurer Robert Dunlop is

rious bond buyers in the eastern

A. & NJ. COLLEGE.

Saltwater. Okla, April S.-Last
afternoon the college band
gave a concert in the new band stand
which is located just back of the Ii
brary building on the campus. This
is a weekly treat that the A. &c NJ.
students can look forward to during
the remainder of the spring term OF
school.
Professor J. W. Wilkinson was ar
Vinita, Okla, on business last week.
The annual novice track meet was
held last Saturday afternoon.
The superintendents in charge Of
the six district agricultural schools
OF Oklahoma affiliated with the \, &
NJ. college and located at Warner,
Tishomingo, Broken Arrow, Lawton,
Helena and Goodwell, visited Still
water during three days of the pres
ent week. in response to cell cl
Dean b. c. Pittuck for the purpose of
comforting together, and working out
some of the problems relating 70 the
administration of these new and grow
ing industrial institutions. Superin
tendent J. \. Liner, Walter Van Alien,
II. l.. Muldrow, J. II. Esslinger and S.
w. Black responded to the call.
On Monday they attended the ban
quet given in honor of Governor Lee
Cruce. the board of agricultural,
members of the legislature, and Pres
ident Cannell by citizens of Stillwa-
ter. On Tuesday evening a dinner
was given by the domestic science
department of the college under the
direction of Miss Sarah w. Landes.
On Wednesday evening Mrs. Connell
entertained at dinner In honor or
Dean b c. Pittuck, with the superin,
tendents as guests.
Special committees of inspection
were provided in showing features of
the college in which these gentlemen
were particularly interested.
The district agricultural schools en-
rolled during the current year more
than 900 students. and the larger ap-
propriations available for their sup
port during the next two years will
certainly increase the influence and
power OF these new secondary
schools.
The crusade in behalf of the boys
and girls Of nine TO eighteen years OF
age for the purpose OF sharpening
their interests in the industrial and
practical affairs OF life is progressing
at a gratifying rate. More than
twelve thousand OF these young peo
pie have indicated their willingness
to cooperate with the teachers of Ok
lahoma and respond to the assistance
given them by the Oklahoma A. & NJ.
college.
The work is not mere corn work.
# is not mere cotton club work. Pri-
marily it is school work of an indus
trial character. The teachers and
superintendents have to do in
in an important way with every step
taken by these boys and girls OF the
junior agricultural clubs.
The A. & VI. college is the only gen
eral agency in the state providing
