Two PUBLISHERS
we're ARRESTED
PUBLISHERS OF JIM JAM JEMS
INDICTED BY FEDERAL JURY
RELEASED ON 5000 BONDS
HATCHER CASE THOUGHT
NEXT,

Indictments were returned Satur-
day afternoon against Sam H. Clark
and c. II. Crockard, publishers of Jim
Jam Jems magazine, by the federal
grand jury. Both the editor of that
periodical and his business partner
were apprehended a few moments lat
er at the Gardner hotel. An arraign-
ment was Immediately given before
U. S. Commissioner Montgomery and
they were released under bonds of $5,-
900 each.
The indictments charge the publish
ers of Jim Jam JemS with sending
obscene and immoral reading matter
in interstate commerce. Neither of the
two defendants were called before the
grand jury, it is understood, most of
the evidence being furnished that body
by ~newsdealers from Minneapolis and
st. Paul who were called as witnesses.
The publishers Of the magazine have
taken the ~precaution not to send copies
Of the periodical through the mails but
have sent ConSignments by express.
The Interstate commerce regulations
governing the shipment of literature
by express are the same as the United
States mails.
1t is understood that Mr.. Clark and
MIR. CroCkard have retained counsel
and at the time of tho trial, either
here in January or in Bismarck in
April, Dudley Nash of Minot will rep
resent them. Neither Of the defend
ants has made any statement con-
corning the action taken by the grand
jury.
Hatcher Case On.
1t was understood that when the
grand jury convened again today, the
Hatcher case would be the next to be
considered. M. n. Hatcher, formerly
president of the Courier Publishing
Co. and business head of The Courier
News is charged with using the United
States mail to defraud in the carrying
out Of a newspaper prize contest con-
Quoted by that paper last spring.
The Hatcher case excited some at
tention at the time. When warrants
were first served, A. NJ. Baker was
included in the charge, but at the con-
clusion of the preliminary arraign-
ment before u. S. Commissioner Mont.
gomery, the case against Mr.. Baker
was dismissed on motion Of the federal
attorney. ..
Of the dozen or more indictments
returned by the federal grand jury
Saturday none were made public with
the exception of Clark and CrockarC
who were the only two a~pprehended
Just as soon as the other arrests are
made announcements will be made
public.

REPUBLICANS GATHER
TO MAKE THEIR PLANS
Advance Guard OF the National
Committee At Work In
Chicago.

Chicago, May 14.-Secretary William
Hayward. of the republican national
committee, who arrived today to take
charge of the preliminary work for
the committees hearing on contests,
June 6, admitted that he has q plan for
the readjustment Of southern repre-
%sentation in the republican conven-
ton, but declined to discuss it.
His plan is said, however, to pro-
vide for representation by congress
sional districts, based on the actual
vote cast.
-Four years ago it was suggested to
reduce the representation, with the
state as the unit, but no action was
AIKEN.
Plans for the convention made by
Mr.. Hayward and Treasurer Upham
will be submitted to Col. Harry S. New,
chairman of the subcommittee in
charge of the detailed plans of the
convention on his arrival here tomor-
row or Wednesday. Acting Chairman
Victor Rosewater and Sergeant at
Arms William f. Stone are expected
to arrive in a few days to plan the
prei1minaries for the national com
mittee's hearing of the contests.
One of the first questions which the
subcommittee on arrangements will be
called upon to decide will be the ap-
portionment of seats for visitors.
Notice of one new contest was re-
ce1ved by the national committe today.
1t was from the Third district OF
Louisiana. Four years ago there were
219 contests. This year 1t is expected
that the number will reach 275. Thus
far notice Of but eight contests has
officially reached the committee.

cathedral, in London, weighs nearly
II tons and is nearly 80 feet around.

was made smaller, now being about
800 pounds instead Of a ton. The
great bell, Peter Of York." cost $10,-
900, weighs about 10 tons and is %

The largest hanging bell in the
world is in the great Buddhist monas-
terry near Canton. 1t is IS feet in

Thus did DR.. Hibben announc his
views on higher education in his in
ugural address. His address in part
follows:
THE practical problem for the
teacher is to choose that body Of
studies which will best produce a spirit
of devotion to the cause of knowledge
and joy in its service.
1.-THE university is not specifically
designed for the purpose OF fitting a
man directly for the daily duties of his
future work in life. 1t should attempt
to develop the whole man. No faculty
of the mind can be satisfactorily
trained in isolation

broke and the car jumped the track
and the three men went over the side
of the t%restle, falling 20 feet. All three
were Slovenian laborers, who worked

tanned.
There will be at least a dozen bands

ARE AFTER BISHOPS
Who SELL LECTURES
Methodists Think Men Who Get
$4,000 a Year, Ought Not
To Retain Sermons.

Minneapolis. Mimi, May 14.-That
bishops of the Metnoulst Episcopal
church, who charge for special sermons
and lectures when they receive each
year a salary of $4,000 and travelling
expenses may receive a slap" from
the general conference before the ses-
sion closes here, is indicated by sew
eral memorials on the subject which
have been presented to the commit
tee on ~episcopacy. 1t is claimed by
those behind the memorials that the
salary of the bishops is sufficient and
that in many cases the price for the
lectures or m are so exhorbitant
that the poorer churches which need
a bishops presence most are unable to
pay for it.
1t is rumored that the episcopacy
committee, as a sort of compromise
between the two factions, will recon-
mend the retirement of two bishops at
the present session.
Copenhagen, Denmark, may receive
ar episcopal residence, according to
talk among the delegates. The epis-
copacy committee is said to have voted
in favor of establishing a residence
at Rome, Italy, n probably one at
Hamburg, Germany. The committee is
also Said to have favored the reten-
ton of the episcopal residence at st.
Paul, instead of removing it to Min
neapolis which is said to have beer
favored by a subcommittee.

of Clarence V. T. Richeson, the former
Baptist clergyman, who is under SEN
tence of death for the murder of Avis
