have to be postponed. 1t was intended
to have men, boys and teams to build
walk four feet wide from Main

APPEAL FOR FUNDS TO MEET
PRESSING NEEDS,

John w. Hensel was elected act.

meeting of the board of that institu.
ton which was in session at the Gard.
ner hotel all day yesterday and until
late last evening. he resignation Of
Pres. c. c. Creegan, for the past four
years head Of the school. was accepted
and resolutions passed commencing
his work in building up the institu.

increasing attendance.
The fact that the institution Is hard
up and facing financial stringent
condition was not disguised. An ac.
emulation Of shortage, covering q
period Of 10 years or more, has to
be made up. The college was more
promising and prosperous in every
other line than now.
1t is believed that the people Of Far.
go and North Dakota will come
promptly to the aid of the college and
that the financial part of the work will
soon be on a sound basis. Fargo col
lege is now recognized to be one Of the
great assets of the city and state.

Antl-Snuff Law Is
Held Legal in No.
SWEEPING DECISION OF ST.
PREME COURT INCLUDES SUB.
STITU1E FOR PRODUCT.

Bismarck, N. d., Nov. 28.-North
Dakota's law prohibiting the sale OF
snuff is constitutional under the decis.
ion Of the supreme court, made last
night in the case of the state against
C. J. Olson, which was in the nature
of a test action, being backed by the
tobacco trust.
Olson was arrested in Stark county
for the sale Of snuff. The case was
pushed through the district court hur-
riedly, decision in favor Of the state
being made by Judge Crawford Of that
court. An immediate appeal to the
supreme court was taken, and last
nights decision affirmed Judge Craw.
ford's decision that the law Is sound.
That the United States supreme court
will be asked to pass on the constitu.
tionality of the snuff law, is practically
certain.
In its decision the supreme court
says the law in question does grant
equal protection to all persons and
that It deprives no persons Of personal
liberty or rights, as maintained by the
prosecution. The court says the de.
cision can also take judicial notice OF
the fact that tobacco. taken in any
form by the young, IL injurious and
that SNUFF is especially 50.
The title Of the act, which relates
to snuff only, is broad enough to in.
clude substitutes for that product thus
making the supreme courts decision
even more sweeping that was the find.
ing Of the district court.

Shells from the federals were break

guns and infantry bullets were getting
thicker every minute.
1t was dark and we had only the
fire-box of the engine to guide US. We
would run little way, lie down until
a troop Of cavalry had dashed by. fir

run little farther.
Completely exhausted, we finally got
to a box car at the rear of the train.
We were not safe even there from fly.
ing bullets and shell.
We lay fiat on the floor of the car
and six shots went through the side
but Villas men routed the federals
and we arrived safely in Juarez. There
every American in town was making
for "the bridge. We breather a sigh
of relief when we finally planted our
feet on Uncle Sans soil.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 25.-Hon.
Thomas Hall, secretary of state, issu.
ed the following letter, addressed to
Gov. L. B. Hanna, with relation to the
placing of the names of candidates for
United States Senator upon the bal
lot at the next general election:
Hon. L. B. Hanna. Governor, Bis
marck, N. D.
Dear S1r:-On October 9th, 1918,
Attorney General Miller rendered to
you his opinion holding that, under the
election laws as they now exist, the
Secretary of State is authorized and
empowered to place upon the official
ballot at the fall election, as candi-
dates for the Office Of United States
Senator, the names of those candi-
dates Of the various parties receiving
the highest number OF votes at the
June Primaries, and hence, that q
Special Session Of the Legislature will
not be necessary for the purpose Of
carrying out the provisions Of the 18th
Amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton. recently adopted, providing for
and requiring the election of United
States Senators by popular vote.
Since the publication of Mr.. Miller's
opinion the public press has demanded
of me to know what action I purpose
to take in the matter and l have in
tentionally delayed making public
and definite statement of my position
until could consider maturely the At
torney Generals opinion and give to
the subject that calm and deliberate
judgment that its importance demands
and. since you have been quoted pub
licly as having expressed the opinion,
in accordance with the Attorney Gen
eral, that If l shall follow the latter's
ruling and place the names Of the sue
cessful party nominees upon the off,
cial ballot for the coming general cleo
ton, no special session will be neces-
sary feel that perhaps the an.
nouncement Of my final determination
should most appropriately be made to
you.
The duties of the Secretary of State
in connection with the preparation Of
election ballots are purely ministerial,
ard while the performance Of those
may call for the exercise Of discretion
and judgment, they are in no sense ju-
dicial. That officer should no: l,r call
ed upon to eelsirue the Language Of
the statutes nor determine what they
ought to mean, and. l take it he should
at all times be justified in accepting
the construction placed upon the laws
by the law officers Of the state: SO
that, in the matter in hand, purpose
to accept the Attorney Generals opin-
ion as controlling and unless prevent

Juarez, Nov. 29.-Just back agail
across this war-torn Mexican horde
to send the first pictures Of the great
est battle this continent has seen sine
the civil war. And it has been tn
widest trip l have ever known in al
my life!
We left Juarez Saturday at moor
and camped about Is miles south tina
night. We took no chances on sleep
ing within the rebel lines, but hunted
q soft spot out in the sage brush ant
rolled up in our blankets.
It was a night long to be remem
bered. No matter how brave a per
son thinks himself, it is no laughing
matter to be within a few hundred
yards of the firing line trying to gel
a little sleep.
AT every little sound you jump out
of your blanket and are ready to hunt
q nice big rock. Saturday night the
federal scout train came within three
miles Of our camp, and not a shot was
Cred at it. Villas game was one of
COOKING the enemy out into the open.
The long:looked for happened at 3
O'Clock Monday afternoon. Villa. ever
ON the lookout, sigted three federal
trains about three miles from our
front column.
Without the least sign Of fear Of
exposing our position, he gave the or.
der to open up with the artillery.
Fighting was all by the artillery I'm.
til about 4:30, when the order was
given to advance. l and my war cor.
respondent friend had stuck pretty
close to Villa up until this time. Then
We decided to 20 after some real pic.
lures before darkness closed in.
We made a circuit of three mites
through the sage brush and worked
up to the extreme right wing of the
rebels. This end of the line was un.
der fire and was returning fire as
last as the soldiers could reload their
guns.
We snapped some photographs here,
but It was a case Of keeping under
cover most of the time. Fighting be.
came general and we knew that the
water train, then two miles away, was
e1pected to make run to Juarez
about o'clock to fill the water cars.
Our only chance was to get back to
that train!
We started and that trip was the
worst thing have ever gone through,
and ever expect to.
