The Glass of 1912 of the Oakes High
School held commencement exercises
at Academy of Music on Friday eve-
ming. The hall was crowded to its
doors. 1t was nine o'clock before the
class, the speaker of the evening, and
the members of the board of education,
marched in single file into the hall and
took their places on the platform.
Many classes have been turned out of
our high school, but none more thor
ough or efficient than the four girls
and the four boys who completed the
work this year. Never has the Oakes

such successful work; nothing but

MEMORIAL DAY IS
FlTTINCLY OBSERVED
Patriotic Services Held for the
Nations Honored Dead.

Memorial Day was very fittingly OBJ
served in Oakes. Many came in from
the country to assist in the observance
of the day. Early in the morning from
the business houses and residences
were displayed flags at half mast.
In the forenoon the old veterans
were taken in automobiles to the cem-
etery where the ritualistic services
were read and the graves of the old
comrades who had gone before proper
ly decorated.
At two o'clock in the afternoon be-
gan the literary program in the Acad-
emy of Music. Headed ty the Cakes
Concert Band, the old veterans, the
Sons of Veterans, the ladies of the Re-
lief Corps and the Cakes Cadets,
marched in and took their places-the
veterans on the platform and the others
to the front of the hall.
Rev. B. G. Jackson opened the pro-
gram with prayer, which was followed
by song by Tod Wright. Kathryn
Guy responded with a recitation ard
Miss Smell sang song that was sweet
|ly rendered. Comrade Chamberlain
pleased the audience with a song,

A. 7. Eaton gets the audience every
time when he peels his coat and gets
to osinging. This time he responded to
his part in the program with "In Dix
les Sunny Land" and won new COL
'ors as a singer.
The address of the day was given by
Senator Wesley c. Mcdowell of
Marion. Senator Mcdowell digressed
somewhat from the usual style of men,
'orial address. His remarks were es-
pecially directed to the rising genera
tion. His advice was not back to the
farm, but to stay on the farm. If you
have not already piece of North Da-
kota land, get some and stick to it.
1t is one of the greatest memorials a
father can leave his son. The speaker
alluded to the custom in the old coun-
try where the old farm was handed
down from generation to generation,
always retaining the same name, the
best heritage a father can bestow.
He also advised the young folks to lay
hold of the higher education, the mod
ern education that would be practical
as well as intellectual. Then turning
to the old veterans reminded them that
the things he had said were for the
future. They knew the past, and any
thing he might say would be but rep
itihon Of events that could be read in
history.
Senator Mcdowell is coming to the
front rapidly as a platform speaker.
Before his advent INTO the state senate
he was little known outside his own
county, but now he is a man of state
prominence and many demands are
made for him on special occasions as a
speaker, The night of Memorial Day
he was to address the graduating class
of his home town. and the next night
had a similar mission at Darlington.
He also speaks to the class of the state
school at Ellendale on June 18th.
The program closed by all, singing

SMITH ASKS new TRIAL
AND STAY OF JUSTICE
Counsel for Assailant of Norris
Bennett Raise Question of
New Penal Code.

James II. Smith, convicted yesterday of
assault to kill and of robbing Morris Ben
net near Gitchie Spring. Nd, November
20 last, today filed motions for a new
trial and in arrest of judgment
The application to stay sentence is
based on the contention of his counsel,
George c.. Shinn and Claude w. Owen,
that there is no such crime in this Dis
trict as an assault to kill. The new penal
code, it is claimed, is in vogue here and
has superseded the section of the code
providing for an assault to kill.
The question of the applicability of
the new penal code Is now pending in
the Court of Appeals, in the johnson
murder case. and until that tribunal
renders it's decision 1t is considered I'M
likely that Justice Anderson will pass
sentence on Smith.
The usual grounds for new trials are
set forth in the motion of Smith, and
are six in number. He claims the YER
dict was contrary to the evidence, and
law. and weight Of the evidence, and
declares the trial judge erred in ex-
GLIDING certain evidence.
The motion also alleges the Judge
ruled improperly on the prayers SUBJ
mitted by the prisoner and should have
directed an acquittal on the legal OBJ
jections raised by counsel.
The motions probably will be argued
next Friday, although decision is not
expected then.

count Haldane started for Berlin after
receiving an intimation that his visit
would be acceptable.
The aim of the present negotiations ap-
pears to be the drafting of a sort Of pro-
tocol giving the views of both parties
on all great questions of world politics,
which will serve as a guide in their fu-
ture relations. The pOrtocol will con-
tain mutual assurances as to the peace
full and friendly motives of each nation.
and will clarity the wishes and plans Of
both parties SO that conflicts between
their respective interests will be rem
dered avoidable in the future by timely
discussion.
Neither the African, the colonial nor
the disarmament question figures
prominently in the negotiations which
are still going on. The colonial ques-
ton was already regulated in 1899, and
the question Of the future ornaments
Of the two countries will depend largely
upon the effect the Anglo-German UNDER
standing has upon the general peace Of

PEACE
IS NOW HELD ASSURED
Result of Conference Between
Officials Puts an End to
All Tension.

BERLIN. February 21.-A highly op-
timistic account of the recent visit OF
Viscount Haldane, British secretary fol
war, to Berlin and of the Anglo-Ger-
man negotiations is given today In an
article published in the Lokal Anzeiger
which there is reason to believe Is
authoritative.
The result of the Conversations be-
tween Viscount Iialdane and the German
ministers is declared to have been more
favorable than either side dared to hope.
and the world has for a long time had
no such reason for looking confidently
for a peaceful future.
The credit Of putting an end to the
diplomatic tension between the two coun-
tries is ascribed personally to King
George. who, realizing that the atmos-
phere was capable Of being cleared up by
frank discussion of the situation be-
tween the two powers. took steps toward
this end before his departure for India.

Finance Committee.

The Gary dinners, at which steel prices
have been fixed. according to frequent
testimony before congressional commit
tees, figures today in the Senate finance
committee hearings on the House steel

president of the Jones & Laughlin Steel
Company of Pittsburgh, claimed to be
the largest independent steel company,
and j. G. Butler, jr.. of Youngstown,
Ohio, representing the pig iron inter-
ests: George s. Whyte of Chicago. and
Garrett Cochran Of Williamsport, Pa,
wire rope manufacturers, protested
against the proposed tariff reduction un-
der the House measure.
Mr. King was asked who set the prices
in the steel and iron trade, and his reply
was that they had been fixed by COM
petition since 1906.
Topics at the Gary Dinners.
Senators simmons of North Carolina and
iHeyburn of Idaho were eager to get at
the bottom of the price question, and
asked about the Gary dinners. Mr.. King
said that, so far as he knew. prices We're
never discussed at these dinners. The
dinners. he said, were held as a matter
Of policy, and not to reach agreement as
to the prices. Matters in general In the
trade were discussed at the dinners.
He said that his company. or any other
company with sufficient capital. could
lower steel and iron prices when market
conditions permitted He commended that
the United States Steel Corporation does
not actually dominate the steel industry
as has been claimed. and that 81 per cent
of the iron and steel production is by the
independent manufacturers.

that II the manufacturers had to meet
