SUNDAY BASEBALL SITUATION To Be
\ TARESHED OUT N DISTRICT COURT
Edmunds, Grand Forks Cato her, Arrested in Order. te
Make Test Case-Arg lie Motion to Dismiss
! Early NJ xt Week.

States Attorney Burtness,, in order
70 make a test case of the Sunday
baseball situation in Grand Forks, this
morning filed an information against
Jerry Edmunds, catcher of the Grand
Forks nine, charging him with break
ing the Sabbath. and a bench warrant
was issued by Judge Kneeshaw Of the
district court and Edmunds taken in
70 custody and brought before the
court. The case is. purely to test the
Law and Edmunds' happened to be
selected at random, in order to have
q proper defendant, he having par
ticipated in the game last Sunday.
When Edmunds was brought before
the district judge, he was represented
by Attorney George Bangs, who waiv-
ed the reading Of the information, and
then made a motion to set aside the
Information, which motion will be ar
gued before the court probably early
next week. Edmunds was allowed to
80 on his W recognizance.
Unusual Case.
The case Is al unusual one in many
aspects. States Attorney Burtness
has been repeatedly requested by
members Of the Grand Forks Minis
terial association to take some action
in regard to stopping Sunday ball and
decided to try and get the case di-
rectly into district court, in order to
have the law on the subject threshed
out and the situation cleared up.
For this reason he filed an informa-
ton direct against Edmunds his
grounds for proceeding this way be-
ing that the 'offense was committed
while the district court was in ses-
sion, the statute of North Dakota pro.
viding for an information direct when
an offense is committed at this time.
On his information the states at
torney named as witnesses for the
state: H. D. Paulson. c. G. Branham,
W. e. Quigley. F. A. Brown. J.. r.
Carley. Gus Myers, NJ. stanchfield,
James Dinnie and Henry O'keefe, Jr.
1t is not at all. likely that any of
these witnesses will be called upon to
testify as the case will undoubtedly
be fought out purely on questions Of

in the city. Just where it came from
nobody knows. 1t has not originated
with the members of the national
committee so far as can be ascertain
ed, nor with the delegates. Me- in
charge of both Taft and Roosevelt
headquarters decline to assume res
possibility for it. But the story per-
sists in bobhins up daily and always it
finds ready listeners.
Talked to on the quiet, some Of the
men who are here talking Taft ane
Roosevelt respectively, admit that
such a solution would he a very fine
disposition of the whole matter.
Neither side. however is prepared to
! suggest it. If one side were TO make
the other side would accuse it of
faint ~heartedness. and would drive
the accusation home in a way that
might influence solne of the weak
kneed delegates. The suggestion if it
should come at all. it is admitted
would have to come from the White
House. without previous arrangement
Coming in that way. many people be
lieve it would so impress the V
ton n the country as to carry
everything before it.
A good many persons believe Taft
could we'll afford to make such a sug-
s%estion, in view of all the facts. His
fight is based almost wholly or his un-
willingness to go down into political
history as the only elected president
who asked for q denomination and
was refused. The distinction Of that
kind would he u~nenviable and besides
it would affect his place among the
presidents.

interesting thing today about the
Roosevelt contests from the southern
states: Il have been reliably inform

these contests were not brought with
any thought that they would be de-

early. some of them in February.
One or W states acted. as l now

Roosevelt men knew that delegates
from these states would go for Taft
for they had unbroken precedents Of
more than fifty years to guide them.
and so they decided it would be wise
to get up contests in practically all Of
them. hoping thereby to prevent the
Taft boom from developing in the
north and west where primary cleo
lions were to come in the spring
months. If the great majority Of

That the crime was not committed

court having beer set for June 4 but
on account of the illness Of Judge
Templeton the term was continued to

That the information Is not sup

there a showing of probable cause as
required by the constitution.
That the defense is one originally

prosecution criminally for the %offense,
but the fine therefore must be COL

That the states attorney has no
