GOV. BURKE At
MORGAN 5 CRAVE
IMPRESSIVE oBsEQUIEs OF NO.
DAKOTA JUDGE AT OLD
SPRING GREEN HOME.

The following tribute to Judge Nor
gan appeared in the Madison (Wis.)
Democrat, under Spring Green date
line:
Yesterday afternoon occurred the fu-
neral Of the most distinguished citizen
which this place has roduced-Judge
David E. Morgan, former chief justice
of the North Dakota supreme court, who
after some two years illness from a
throat trouble, died in Banning, Cali
fornia, Saturday, May II; and never
has this village entertained a more not
able group of visitors. Governor John
Burke, now serving a third term as
chief executive of North Dakota, deep
ly sorrowing, made an appreciative ad-
dress, descriptive Of Judge Morgan IS
exceptional sense Of equity, of his
marked tenderness and of the great
popularity which permitted him to re-
main on the bench for twenty years
almoet unopposed, first as district judge
and later as supreme.
Colonel Duncan McGregor, Judge
Morgan's old preceptor in the Platte
vile normal school, represented Gov
ernor McGovern at the obsequies, and
dwelt on the earnestness, the modesty,
the integrity and high, steadfast pur.
pose Of Morgan as boy and man and
of the inspiring example to the youth
OF this community which his life af.
forded. The speaking was from the

front porch of the John E. Morgan
home to large assemblage upon the
lawn. Within was the family, and
close around the orators were many
prominent persons, among them Chief
Justice B. F. spaulding of the North
Dakota supreme court, Associate JUS
tices c. j. Fisk and A. A. Bruce, Dis
trict Judge L. J. Palda of Devils Lake,
Mayor P. j. McClory Of that city, also
Alderman G. w. Greene, H. E. Baird,
a banker, c. E. Taylor, court reporter,
Senator A. J. Stade, for many years
Judge Morgan's most intimate friend
at Devils Lake, both bachelors, Hen
ry Middaugh, Governor Burke's former
law partner, Miss Lillian Winman Of
Devils Lake, Mrs. J. F. McGee of Min
neapolis. whose husband, later dis.
trict judge, was once associated with
Judge Morgan at Devils Lake, her son,
Jerome, Judge Arthur H. Noyes, who
intimately knew Judge Morgan at Bar
aboo and also practiced with him at
Devils Lake, H. P. Barlow, an old Bar
aboo friend but long a well-known rail
road man in ST. Paul, w. II. PicrstorH
and G. B. Pierstorll of Middleton and
Professor and Mrs. j. H. Terry of
Madison. Prof. Terry conducted an
academy here in the early days, and to
his stimulating instruction the family
gives much credit for the sterling char
acter upon which Judge Morgan after
ward built his unbroken successes.
Professor Terry is now nearly blind
and fast approaching the four score
epoch. Members Of the family from
away were Mrs. Charles f. Taylor, a
sister, of EmmetsburS Iowa, her hus-
band and another sister, Mrs. Mary A.
Lewis of Devils Lake, whose home was
Judge Morgan IS for some years past.
She has son who was graduated from
West Point five years ago and now is
a lieutenant stationed at Spokane. He,
too, was here. People We're present
from villages all about, especially Ma
sons, high in whose order was Judge
Morgan. Flowers in elaborate designs
and simpler bouquets came from many
sources-from the North Dakota bar,
from the supreme court of that state,
fgrom the blue lodge, the commandery,
the chapter Eastern Star and the Elks
at Devils Lake and from John A. Per
cival of Duluth. Burial was in the vii
lage cemetery beside parents and other
members of the family. Rev. Otto j
Schiebe, Congregationalist, conducted
the services and there were both vocal
solos and choir singing. The village
flag dropped at half staff throughout
the day. The North Dakota contingent
left for Madison at 4 'clock on a de
layed train and intended to proceed al
once for home, reaching St. Paul thi:
morning.

HEAD OF THE EAGLES AND RED
MEN AT FARGO BELIEVED TO
BE SHORT.

Fargo, n. D., May. pa. NJ.
Knight, junior partner of the firm Of
Coils & Knight, state and local secre-
tary Of the Eagles, Red Men and other
fraternal organ: zations, is missing.
It is alleged there is firm shortage.
A superficial examination of his ac-
counts in the Eagles failed to show
'any-hirg wrong, and it is supposed
t,,ey are all right.
The firm of Coils & Knight was or
ganized ostensibly for the purpose of
dealing in real estae, but later it ad-
vertised a stock and bond business.
Knight, through his trips over the
state gained wide acquaintance with
many people and his list of investors
is reported to be large.
The amount Of the shortages are var.
iously estimated from $4,000 to $780,
900. It is claimed the fromer amount
represents the losses of local people
and the difference between the sums is
the amount invested and dropped by
outsiders.
Coils, the senior member of the
firm, is brother-in-law of Knight. It
is claimed that he is out more than
$4,000. There are several rumors
about the amount OF money belonging
to Mrs. Knight. A divorced woman is
said to have entrusted about $4,000 tc
him without return. A we'll known
young lady stenographer is reported
to have dropped 5000 and several 9th
ers for different amounts.
Some people believe his disappear
ance is part Of pre-arranged plar
and that he made all arrangements be
fore leaving here.
Others, including Mrs. Knight, be
lieve that he suddenly became insane
in New York or was drugged or killed
knight left here early in the montl
for New York and was heard from
occasionally for the first few days
since which time there have been NJ
reports from him.
Most of his deals were in wireless
stock. On the way east knight show
ed Fargo man bunch of stock
which he claimed to have secured fo
20 cents share, which he asserted wa
now worth between 81 and S. pc
share. knight stated that he intende
to go to the headquarters of the com
pany and through block of stock h
would be able to secure place on tn
directorate.
For some years he has dabbled light
ly in wheat through local commi:
sion house, but never to any seriou
amount. The closing account was les
than 800 and the current account
were usually from $40 to 30.
Knight had large circle of friend
in the city and they are greatly d
vided as to his guilt or innocens,
Many assert belief that he has bee
the victim of an accident or foul pla,
Knight is thought to have a larn
line of out of town patrons as h!
mail business was enormous Thou
ands of circulars were strewn. It
reported the postal officials will inve
tigate that phase.

THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY.
Increasing and Diversified Use of Oil for
Power and Manufacturing.

| Since the beginning of the oil indus
try in the United States over two and
La half billion barrels have been pro-
duced, and the total value of the oil,
reckoned in the crudest condition at
the mouth of the well, is over two bill
lion dollars. More than half of this oil
has come from New York, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Ohio, and all has
been produced in two years over half
| century. In the first half of this
period nearly the entire product came
from the eastern fields, but lately the
declining production of the eastern
states has been more than compensat
ed by the enormous output in the
West, so that of the total product Of
the United States 972,429,s05 barrels
have been produced west of Mississippi
river, and at this time the midcon-
tinent and California fields are the con-
trolling influences in the oil production
of this country. If line is drawn
across Ohio separating its eastern oil
areas from the Lima area and the Lima
oils are included in the western pro-
duction, then the West already exceeds
the East in the total produced.
The annual report of the United States
geological survey on the production of
petroleum, compiled by David T. Day,
shows that for 1911 California not only
led in quantity of product lover s0000.-
900 barrelsl but produced almost half
as much again as Oklahoma, the state
second in rank The mid continent field
omitted, California produced as much oil
as the rest of the United States put
together; the United States being omit
ted, California produced more oil than
any entire nation; and if Russia and The
United States are omitted, California
surpasse dthe combined production
of all the rest of the world, including
Mexico, India, Roumania, Galicia, japan,
and South America.
The rank of the states is easily re-
membered when one recognizes Cali
fornia, Oklahoma and Illinois as form
ing a class by themselves, the lowest
tIllinoisl producing over 30O00000 bar
rels and the three furnishing three
fourths of the entire output. The Sec
ond group includes Louisiana. West Vir-
einia, Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania,
and in which Louisiana furnished a sur
prise by yielding the greatest product
on record for that state tower 10000.
UOO barrelsl ana passing 10 the mead
of this group, while the slight gain from
two pools in Texas put that state in
advance of Ohio again. In the third |
group, comprising Indiana, Kansas, New |
York, Kentucky, Colorado, Wyoming, /
Missouri. Utah and Michigan, the larg. !
est state production is less than fourth |
Of the lowest in the second group, and |
combined these states produced less than |
% per cent Of the total.
The changes which may be expected |
in 1912 may advance the rank OF West
Virginia by the development of the B!e
