MURDERED HIS father
and IS now insane

JAMESTOWN, March 5.-That Lee
Miller is now insane has been decided
by the preliminary omcfals at Bis
marck and he was accordingly trans
ferred to the state asylum at James
town last week, where he will remain
as long as treatment Is necessary. It
will be well remembered that at the
murder trial in Darlington, In which
Miller was convicted Of the murder
OF his father and given penitentiary
sentence, the principal defense put up
was on account of his insanity. One
of the expert witnesses on the case
was Dr.. Hotchkiss, the present head
Of the insane asylum at jamestown.
Miller's transfer to the asylum will
in no way alter his sentence for the
crime. His time will 60 on in the
asylum, but If i1e should Be prooounced
cured, he must be returned to the
penitentiary to complete his term.

WASHINGTON, March 5:-Ap2eal.
ing the term of the United States
peace and industrial cooperation be-
tween employer and employee, Seth
Low, president of the national civic
federation before the convention OF
that organization today, eulogized
the labor union and defended its
right to struggle for recognition.
He endorsed heartily the American
Federation of Labor and it's methods,
and with equal spirit denounced; rad
ical labor leaders as socialists
seeking social revolution, not social
evolution"
my judgment is that the pathway
to industrial peace, and industrial
efficiency" said Low, "is to be found
in the hearty cooperation of EN-.
ployers with labor unions in the con-
fident expectation that when the
right of working men to collective
bargaining passes unchallenged in
practice, the right of other. working
men to forego collective bargaining,
if they wish to do SO, will be equally
unchallenged."
Low dwelt at length on the ad-
vantages created under the trade
agreement plan between employer
and employe. Bargaining between
capital and labor, he pointed out,
had reduced industrial friction and
had virtually abolished serious in.
dustriai warfare. r.,5:as '+,s >~
Low, referring to the. Mcnamara
case, said it had been demonstrated to
organised labor it ia the future It
wished to command ptibifc sympathy
and confidence, t;mSlst be- prompt TO

the struggles Of labor" Cardinal

wien Clifford Pinchot arrived this aft

Roosevelt. T. -.
Finchot made a striking plea for
Roosevelt, maintaining that of all re-
publican leaders he is best qualified
to bring victory to the paryt in No.
vember. He commended Roosevelt
for his settlement of the coal strike,
his peace victory between the Japs
and Russia, his plea for better condi-
tions for workingmen, his conservat-
ism policy and the enactment of the
pure food law. ..
whether you consider his record
as president of the United States or
his recent utterences at Columbus, o.,
you find Roosevelt always working
for the rule OF the people as against
wealth and privileges" said Mr.. Pin
cho:.
HE believes that the people have
the right and the power to determine
the condition under which they shall
live, and when they grow weary OF
any existing form of government they
have the right to amend It,"
Mr.. Pinchot said that he was the
friend of LaFollette, but that the Wis
consin senator was not able to hold
the progressive forces together, and
that Roosevelt was a sure winner.
Minot left Velva on the Minot-Bis
marck train for Minot, where he will
speak at o'clock tonight.

it is understood that DR.. Sun Vat Sen
