Fessenden, N. D., Feb. 3.-The above
Telegram received by Sheriff Lyness
gave the information that the two
suspected murderers of John Kutman,
whose body was found near Sykeston
last week, had been located by Deputy
Sheriff Kunl5el and placed under ar
rest. AS the telegram states zytko, the
one to whom circumstantial evidence
points as more probably guilty, refuses
to come back for trial without extra
dition papers, while Kempi, or KEN
peski, waived his right to extradition
and is willing to return and stand
trial.
3 With proper papers Sheriff Lyness
left at once for Bismarck to secure the
signature Of Governor Burke to extra
dition papers and then he will proceed
east to secure the acceptance of the
Indiana authorities and assist in bring
ing the prisoners back.
Owing to the delay in the prelin
inaries subsequent to finding the
body Of Kutman, Deputy Kunkel
did not leave Fessenden until Sum
day morning and not until after the
facts, together with the names of
the suspected parties had been pub
hshcd in the daily papers through
out the country, including those of
Chicago, and it is with much salts
faction that the people Of the
county learned the news that
Deputy Kunkel did his work quick
ly and with complete success, and
that those strongly suspected of this
cold blooded murder will stand trial
and IL found guilty will be punished.
Details of the finding Of ZytlSo and
Kempesld by KunkeI are not known.
here. but from the fact that they were
located at Gary, Ind, instead of in
Chicago or Michigan City, Ind, where
they were supposed to be, might indi-
cate that Wells county's deputy sher-
iff did some fast and clever detective
work in connection with their cap
ture.
Kutman's body was found, partly
covered by snow in a grove three miles
from Sykeston. A bullet wound in the
back of his head showed how he met
death. The two men just arrested
were his companions during the fall
threshing season. 1t is believed he
was killed some time in octoben. Rob
berry is supposed to have been the
motive.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 3.-The din
ner of the periodical publishers asso-
citation did not end until an early hour
this morning. and the close was mark
ed by tart denunciation Of Senator
LaFolIette by Don c. Seitz, of the
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociation, who acted as toastmaster.
LaFollette began his speech near
midnight and spoke for nearly two
hours. The more than 600 diners were
visibly wearied and toward the close
frequently interrupted him. Much of
his speech was an attack upon the
the country.
When he had finished, Seitz said:
II shall not attempt nor have the
time, to come to the defense of the
newspapers of the country, which have
just been foolishly. wickedly and un-
truthfully assailed."
LaFollette made no sign of hearing
the caustic remark, uttered in a half
angry tone. IS ~ ... ..r
Today in an interview Seitz said:
"As the banquet was given by, the
magazine publishers, and as 1 was the
guest of Cyrus H. K. Curtis. presi-
dent of the association, / had to be

famous slander of newspapers and

WHAT is
CORRUPTION?
Arguments Before Committee
in Stephenson Case

Washington, Feb. S.-Corruption in
the senatorial primary alone does not
corrupt a United States senator's
election, according to argument pre-
sented to the senate committee on
privileges and elections today in be-
half Of Senator Stephenson of Wiscon-
sin.
Former Representative Charles e.
Littlefield of Maine, as counsel for
Stephenson in connection with that
statement, denied there had been any
corruption by Stephenson at the pri-
mary.
He held corrupt influence by the
senator or his responsible agent.
coupled with submission to it and
participation in it by members OF the
legislature, necessary to taint the
senator's election with fraud.
The committee was hearing the final
arguments on charges Of bribery and
corruption in connection with Ste
phenson's election. The sub commit
tee already has exonerated him.

What La Toilette Said.
The portion of La Follette's speech
to which Seitz took exception fol.
lows:
Il have sketched the growth and
power Of the great interests that to.
day control our property and om
government. I have shown how subtle
and elusive, yet how relentless they
are. Rising up against them is the
confused voice OF the people. Their
heart is true, but their eyes yet do not
see all their intricate sources OF
power. We shall show them. There,
are only two agencies that in any waya
can reach the whole people. These
are the press and the platform. But
the platform in no way compares with
the press in it's power of continuous
repeated instruction.
"One would think in a democracy
like ours, seeking for instruction
able to read and understand, the press
would be their eager and willing in
structor. Such was the press of Hor-
ace Greeley. Henry Raymond, Charles
A. Dana, Joseph Medill and Horace
Rublee. ..s
But what do we find has occurred
in the last few years? The money
power has gained control of our in
dustries and government II controls
the newspaper press. The people
know this. Their confidence is weak
ened and destroyed. No longer are
the editorial columns Of the newspa-
pers potent force in educating pub
lie opinion.
Newspapers, OF course, are still pa
tronized for news. But even as to
news. the public is fast coming to
understand that whatever news items
bear in any way upon the control OF
the government by business, the news
is colored; so the confidence in the
newspaper as newspaper is being
undermined.
Cultured and able men still are to
be found upon the editorial staffs of
all the great dailies, but the public
understands that they are hired
men who no longer express honest
judgments and sincere conviction, but
who write what they are told to write.
and whose judgments are salaried
ITO subserviency Of the press to the
special interests in no small degree is
due the power and influence and pros
perity of the weekly and monthly
ma gazines.'

FROM WISCONSIN

Milwaukee, Feb. 3.-Delegates at

democratic convention are expected to
be selected by the democratic central
committee at a meeting in MiIwauk ae
late this afternoon or tonight. The
question as to the method of deciding
upon the district delegates will come

Wilson men favor a state convention
while the Harmon and Clark support
ers oppose it. There are those in each

who kept the police of the United

while, yesterday was refused admit

that her escapades had given her too
much notoriety.
The request for entrance to the
academy followed the abandonment
