Stredwick, located in Bell school dis
trict No. 10, which includes the VII
lage of Logan, has instituted q man

english Miners
STRIKE: MAY. A Be B B |: !.
SETTLED soon

BY Associated Press.
LONLON, Feb. 23.-Mixed feelings
prevail today among those directly
interested in the coal trade dispute.
While great majority Of the public
finds It hard to believe such q ca
lamity as q national strike Of coal
miners, involving nearly q million
men will be allowed to take place,
coal owners on the whole take a less
favorable view Of the situation.
Delegates Of coal owners and of
miners held separate meetings pri-
vately this morning to discuss the
outcome Of yesterdays conference
with Premier Asquith and other mem.
bers Of the government. It is thought
the difficulty in the English coal min.
ing area is within easy reach of So
luton as the mine owners are in
clined to show more sympathy with
the mems demands for universal
minimum wage but they would ex-
pect in return some guarantee from
the miners in regard to minimum
output. Miners in England would
regret to see their exchequer, which
is now we'll supplied, depleted In, or
der to support the striking Welcn
coal miners whose, own funds were
exhausted by the strike in Wales a
year ago. Difficulty arises as to
whether peace can be negotiated in
separate areas. Welsh miners and
coal owners are both opposed even
to postponement of a strike with
\ view to negotiations, which is one
of Asquith's suggestions.

SUSPENDED SENTENCE
Law has Been killed

Special to The Tribune.
SAN A4,CON1O, Texas, Feb. o.
In a decision Just handed down by
the Texas court Of criminal appeals
the suspended sentence" act Of the
thirtysecond legislature 10 nullified.
This law, enacted at the instance
Of State Senator F. G. Wolbert, long
active in prison reform movements,
permitted q district Judge to sus-
pend sentence on conviction for the
lrst time, with the exception Of Ger.
tain heinous felonies. A majority
Of the court holds that the law may
be Just and should, perhaps, be the
law II legal grounds could be found
for upolding It. But, the court says,
the governor alone has authority to
reprieve, commute pardon and remit
fines Of forfeitures according to the
state constitution, and there Is no
legal warrant for vesting such pow.
ers in q district Judge.
Associate Judge Prendergast dis
sented from the opinion Of q major.
ity o fthe court, considering the act
constitutional and writing that tho
question at least affords doubt suf-
ncient to Justify refusal to concur
In the opinion 0f his associates.

SELECTION OF rifle TEAM
DISCUSSED At Meeting Of
GUARD Of STATE
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
JAMESTOWN N D., Feb. 22-The
eleventh annual convention of the
North Dakota national guard conven.
tion came to close late this even.
ing. after the most successful meet
ing In it's history. There were sew.
eral matters of the utmost importance
to the organized militia of the state
settled on the convention floor and
a better understanding now exists
among the officers and men regarding
many questions which have long been
in controversy.
The question of the rifle team fur.
nished the most lively discussion for
the delegates. 1t has been costing the
state several thousand dollars each
year to send state rifle team to COM
pete in the national matches at Camp
Perry. There is feeling among some
Of the officers that the figures of
merit of the various companies have
not shown sufficient improvement for
the amount of money which has been
thus spent.
The question which arose was
whether or not there could be greater
efficiency among the enlisted men in
the use of the rifle In 1911 20
per cent handicap was imposed upon
the competitors for the state team who
had previously been team members.
This Is one way tended to weaken the
personnel of the North Dakota aggre.
cation. The convention finally de-
cided that If the state deems it advis-
able to send another team to compete
in the national shoot that it should
send the very best shots in the regi-
ment, to be chosen in fair and open
competition, without handicap. The
convention further decided that un-
less this Is done the state should not
send down any team whatsoever.
1t is probable in view Of the feel
ing which now exists that the state
will not be represented In the national
matches again. Rather it is believed
that greater interest will be taken in
rifle practice by the. enlitsed men If
state shoot is held annually In
which there will be several valuable
cash rpizes for the competitors. VIII,
will be divided into various classes
according to their qualifications. ,~ "
The matter Of the adjutant general
making his residence at Bismarck
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-02-23

was brought up and it was finally de.
cided that it was the sense of the as.
sociation that this should be done
and that ample financial allowance
should be made for this purpose.
There were many interesting pa
pers read before the convention at the
afternoon session. Sergeant Cacciola,
Fourth United States infantry, de-
tailed to this state for the purpose of
instruction, read a paper on ''The En-
listed Personnel" Major Brechemin
Of the hospital COPS, United States
army, of Fort Lincoln, delivered a
splendid address upon Camp Santa
tion." It was listened to with
great deal of close attention and it is
expected that the most Of his sugges-
tions will be followed out at the next
annual encampment. It was decided
that the papers Of Sergeants Rock and
Cacciola should be printed and dis
tributed among the various companies
of the state. Chaplain Nelson E. Els
worth Of Bismarck was in attendance
at the convention and spoke in
happy manner upon topics of interest.
Major G G. Grafton Of Fargo gave
several Kipling readings, and acted as
choirmaster while the members of the
association indulged in live war songs.
There promises to be a greater
meeting at Bismarck in 1913, and the
members of the association are al.
ready laying their plans for the occa.
sion. The date of the convention will
be so arranged that the final day of
the meeting will occur on the same
date as the inaugural ball. The First
regiment band of Lisbon will be pres
ent and will furnish music during the
convention and will also play for the
inaugural ball. The band boys are at
work at the present time making their
arrangements for the occasion, which
they expect to be the best in the his.
tory of the association
This afternoon Captain Hanley, re.
firing president Of the association.
went to Jamestown college, where he
delivered an address appropriate to
Washington's birthday. The conven.
ton adjourned to convene at Valley
City at p. M, at which time the
new officers Will be Installed and the
affairs Of the association brought to
a close.

brilliancy to the scene seldom sur
passed. There were many prominent
military men In attendance, most of
them coming down on late train
rrom Jamestown, where the national
guard association had just ended its
eleventh annual convention.
The armory was handsomely dec
Grated for the occasion. Suspended
from the center Of the ceiling was .

festoons of southern smilax in every
direction Of the room. But predom.
mating over all Of the other appoint

Alfalfa on His Claim.

Aberdeen. The fruitfulness Of
South Dakota soil was demonstrated
at Faith the other day, when R. r.
Saul discovered a healthy growth of
alfalfa on his claim. Two years ago
Saul noticed an advertisement of a
firm offering to send 100 seeds of al
falfa, guaranteed to grow on dry land,
for 3 cents. Saul sent the 3 cents
and in due time received the 100 seeds.
BY the time they arrived he had lost
interest in the matter, so he threw the
seeds away The other day he noticed
some alfalfa growing on the place, and
at first could not imagine how it hap
pened to be there. Then he recol-
lected his investment of 9 cents, and
found the plants had grown from
ninety vigorous alfalfa plants from the
100 seeds, and Mr.. Saul is now firmly
convinced that the Faith country is
especially adapted to growing alfalfa.

Primary Law Gets a Twist.

Pierre.-The primary law limits
the number of signers on nominat-
ing petition for county officers at not
more than five percent nor less than
three per cent of the party vote cast
for governor at the last proceeding
election One of the minority par
ties in Edmunds county desired to
place in nomination a candidate for
county commissioner, and found that
their candidate for governor had re-
ceived but five votes in that commits
sioner district at the last election.
This would make one name on the
petition in excess of the per cent
allowed under the law, and the coun-
ty auditor asked the advice of the
state law department and he was ad-
vised to accept the filing as the law
cannot demand impossibilities, and to
keep a petition down to five per cent
in such case was impossible.
