President Wilson's First MESSAGE

President Wilson has delivered his address to the
congress of the United States, and it is reproduced
in this issue of the Tribune.
The world has waited anxiously for this message,
and. now that it has been delivered, it is a4question
II It win mot prove a DIT disappointing, in that it lacks
scope and positiveness. His remarks on the Mexican
question throw no new light upon the situation; he
favors rural credits in no positive way; faVors pres!.
Dental nomination by primary; touches on the han
ding of acquired foreign possessions; favors govern.
ment railroad building in Alaska and promises to
take up the question of dealing with the Sherman
antitrust act by special message later. He favors
universal peace, more Legislation for
safety at sea and in mines.
There is a lack of positiveness in the entire mes.
sage, and much is chopped" Whether this is the
smooth hand of a diplomat or the evasive plan of a
politician remains to be seen. 1t is so unlike the
messages of Cleveland, Mckinley and Roosevelt, or
even that Of Taft, that 1t ranks as exceptional.

cumulation of populations, the aggre-
gate misaEpropriation may be treated
as one crime and all the populations
as parts of the one offense, and the
aggregate shortage. proven may be
more or less than the sum stated In
the information. :
81 1t is not necessary that the.
exact sum embezzled should be alleg-
ed, nor is it necessary 10 prove the
exact sum as charged.
(9) The crime of embezzlement
by a public officer does not merely
consist in failing to turn v e all mon
eys TO the state at the time Of the re-
linquishment Of hi %sofice, but in hav-
ing fradudulently converted money OF
securities while in that Office. The
mere fact, therefore, that a friend
may come to ones rescue and furnish
money sufficient to make good a
shortage on a final accounting, does
not in any way negativefthe fact that
prior to such final accounting money
has been fradudulently converted,
that is to say embeZzled.
15) A special deposit is a bail
ment of certain specified property,
which can be an dis to be Unidentified
and returned.
CID A special deposit as used in.
paragraph IA. of section Ill, R.. c.
1895, implies the placing Of money in.
a bank for safe-keeping, so that the
marker is bailee and must keep the
identical money without mingling it
with che other funds of the bank, to
be returned in kind to the state trea.
surer or such person or persons as
he may direct.
Q2) A deposit in a bank is not a
special deposit where the banker is
allowed to loan out or to use the mon.
ey deposited. A special deposit in.
wolves safe-keeping merely and the
return of the Identical money or ar
ticles deposited.
13) The crime of e~mbezzlement
may be committed by a fraudulent
failure to account for funds as well al
by physical ~confiscation
Q4) The order of proof upon the
trial of a cause is largely within the
control Of the trial judge and his
discretio unjust largely control.
d5) The objection that the testi
mony lis not the best evidence, in
competent as such, irrelevant and i'm
material" does not raise or sugges;
the objection that such testimony IS
not proper or rebuttal.

In the Supreme Court, State Of

State of North Dakota, plaintiff and
respondent, vs.. George L. Bickford,
defendant and appellant.
~ Evidence examined and held
sufficient to justify a conviction Of
the crime OF embezzlement under sec
lions 9204, 92O5, r. C. 1905.
(2) Information examined and held
to charge one, and not several often

(3) Section 9205, R. C. 1905, des-
,cribes but one general crime of en-
b%ezzlement, which may be committed
in different ways, and the same may
be charged in different courts alleg-
ing the various ways by which the
same was accomplished.
a. Where the statute declares an
act unlawful when perpetrated in any
one or all Of several modes, the in
formation may charge the act in Sc
parate counts, basing each count up
on the different modes specified.
~ Although it may be the gener-
al rule in the case Of a felony that
the court will permit the prosecution
to give evidence of only one feloni-
Gus transaction, it is also the rule
that when it appears more than one
criminal transaction involved and the
joinder of the different counts is
meant only to meet the various as
poets in which the evidence may pre-
sent itself, the court will not restrict
the prosecuting officer to particular
counts and will suffer a general veg
dict to be taken ON the whole.
go A verdict Of "guilty of embez-
element as Charged in the infotTna-
ton" is sufficient in a prosecution for
having committed the crime Of en-
bezzlement condemned by section 81

ners described in said section. Such
a verdict is a general verdict and has
the same effect as the verdict Of
guilty." provided for in section
1OO44, r. C. 1905.
H) Where the evidence shows a
