COMMERCE COMMISSION UPHELD
IN WATER LiNEs.cASE; COURT
is ovERRULED. ..

Washington, D. c., April IA signai
victory was won today by the Interstate
commerce commission when the SUI
preme court of the United States de-
cided the commission had the power
to compel water lines to report to 1t
regarding intrastate as well as inter-
state business. It was the first case
from the commerce court to Do con-
sidered by the supreme court ana the
commerce court was reversed.
While the cases before the court con-
cerned Immediately only water lines,
the government declared in arguing
the cases that the defeat Of the com
mission in this case would mean that
railroads also need not report regard
ing intrastate business and the COM
missions whole system OF gathering
reports relative to commerce Would
be worthless. ..., <
The orders in question required re.
ports regarding operating expenses ana !,
operating revenues of water lines anu
affected principally lines on ztpe gTeaast ase
lakes. ,s& S5h s
The commerce court held that the
commission had power to require re-
ports only regarding traffic carried un-
der Joint arrangement with railroads
carriers but not as to purely 1ntrastate
and port-to-port business. @
Justice Day said a mistake had been
made by the commerce court in confus-
ing knowledge of intrastate commerce
with regulation of 1t. He said 1t was
within the power Of the commission ito
renuire a "show down of the whole
business" intrastate as well as inter
state.

INCREASE IN
DIVERSIFIED CROPS


DIVERSIFIED CROPS
Minneapolis, May ia Wells &
Dickey Co., crop statement issued
today declared that conditions in
North Dakota on the whole, were
very favorable. A general increase
in the acreage of corn, barley and
rye and decrease in the acreage of
wheat was shown.
Noticeable features in the North
Dakota crop situation, pointed to-,
were the improved methods of cul-
tivation,. which had been generally
adopted in seeding, the increased
acreage of corn, prospects for q
splendid hay crop and decrease In
wheat acreage owing to the early
freeze-up last fall.
The report of the company declar-
ed that among the better farming
methods being observed were great
er care in the selection of seed, build
ing of silos, and the prevalence of the
feeling of conservatism on the part
of the farmers in their expenditures.
The only unfavorable conditions
found by the company were in spots
receiving too much moisture.

FAMOUS HUNTER
PASSED AWAY
"Uncle Ben'' Corbin, Noted Pioneer
Wolf Hunter, Died at State Hos.
pital. Was 78 Years Old.

Ben Corbin, formerly of Glencoe,
Emmons county, N. D., died at the
state hospital for the insane, Sunday,
at the age of 78 years. He had been
at the institution for five years. The
remains were taken to Bismarck for
burial. Corbin was we'll known in
the early days in North Dakota.
"Uncle Ben" Corbin was a noted
character. in North Dakota, Iowa and
Minnesota in pioneer days, having
achieved a great deal of fame for his
wolf hunting. Especially when new
parts of these states we're opened to
settlement did the settlers send for
Corbin, the wolf hunter, to rid the
prairies of these pests and make cat
tile raising more safe. Mr.. Corbin had
served in the Civil War performing
gallant service and was pensioned by
the government.
In frontier days he and his wife
came to North Dakota. They took
up a homestead near Beaver Creek,
in Emmons county south Of Linton.
About1S94 they moved north to Glen
coe, also in Emmons county, where
they made their home continuously
until Mrs. Corbin's death and Mr..
Corbin's illness. His wife died about
IL years ago. Six or seven years ago
Mr.. Corbin suffered a stroke of pa
ralysis, which was followed by Sec
ond stroke. His memory became
affected as a result and he was re-
moved to the hospital for the insane
at this place where he has remained
ever since. He apparently has been
in good health for the past few years
but the final stroke he suffered from
Sunday resulted in almost instant
death: He is survived by several
sons and daughters.

Bismarck Friday from Minneapolis,
where he, accompanied by States

DR.. Hill, who was assisted by States
Attorney Dudley Nash and Editor
Sam H. Clark. Several witnesses

sons.
Girl on the Stand
The chief witnesses were the girl
upon whom the operation was per-
formed and the woman sleuth repre-
senting Jim Jam Jems. Mr.. Clark
said:
"Both Mrs. Pickett and Mrs. North
field, the nurses involved in the
Hunter case, have left the country.
! We made out the strongest kind OF
a case. There is no question but
what the abortion was performed at
the home of Mrs. Northfiield; that
the girl left Minot with the address
of Mrs. Pickett and the name of DR..
Hunter, which we're supplied by a
prominent Minot physician; that she
was in good health at the time, and
there was no occasion to perform
the operation, save to hide her
shame; that there is no question but
what this abortion mill has existed
for some time.

Fargo May 17.-Congressman L.
B. Hanna has returned from Wash

kota during the campaign for his
nomination as governor of North Da-
kota until June 26.
II am more than glad to be back
in Fargo again." he said. TO see
my friends at home is for me al
ways the greatest pleasure. One
thing that has impressed itself upon
me in meeting everyone again this

the crop outlook for the state this
year. That is very pleasing. On the
train yesterday I met several from
the state who told me the conditions
seemed excellent this year and every
indication pointed to most success

did news"
Regarding his recent trip to Ari-
zona as a member of the special
Indian investigation committee, Con-
gressman Hanna continued:
1--WE went close to the Mexican
border and observed the revolution
ary conditions down there from a
nearer range. The conditions down
there are most alarming. was readi-
ly informed by some of the Mexicans
who knew the inside of affairs that
the insurrectos preferred to continue
the revolution as it meant liveli-
hood without work for them. A re-
bellion down there means robbing
and pilfering the houses and stores
without being punished for those
crimes.
"Some of those men would rather
keep up the war and get their liv-
ing in that way than to earn an hon
est living by working. That's why
the revolutionary idea is SO popular
with many. Fresh revolutions are
starting up every day and some of
the leaders remain loyal to each 9th
ed for couple Of days and then
start out after each other. Condi-
tions are most deplorable."
