DENIAL TO CHARGES
Criticism of County Superin-

DENIAL TO CHARGES

Charges and insinuatiOns made by
Charles O. Williams, county superin-
tcndent, against former Treasurer Lee
b. Nusbaum, of the Richmond school
board, last spring are completely re-
futed in the report of the state ac-
countants, made public today, IN
which the state officials approved of
Mr. Nusbaums work in a most com
pimentary manner.
Last June when superintendent
Williams opposed the reelection Of
DR.. NJ II. Johnston as member OF
the city school board, he charged at
the council meeting that undue favor
itism had been shown by the school
board in purchasing school supplies
from the Nusbaum company. At this
meeting Mr. Nusbaum and other prom

Records Reviewed.
The records of the school board
FOR the year ending July 81, 1911,
When Mr.. Nusbaum retired from the
board were review by the state ac-
countants In closing it's review OF
the records filed by the special eX-
aminers who went over the books, the
examining board says: 1--WE have
never seen a more complete system
Of taking care of school business than
that which is installed in the Rich
mond public school Office. Every de-
tail is carefully observed, There is
not single recommendation to be
made that would increase it's eff
ficiency"
The board of examiners found no
fault with some of the actions OF the
school board that aroused some an
taeonism at the time they occurred. 1t
was found that from 1908 to 1911, l..
B. Nusbaum received in payment or
supplies from the board the sum OF
$24292, while he was member OF
the board. This matter was passed
over without comment.
Find Expenses Regular.
In the matter of payment of Janltors
for overtime, the examiners found no
fault with-the board. 1t was also found
that the office expenses of Superinten-
dent Mott and his travelling expenses
were perfectly regular. The school
board was also sustained in its pay
ment of a salary to A. B. Roy for SUI
perintending the city Fairgrounds dur
ing the time that n. G. Heironlmus
was absent from the city.
In no other cases did the board OF
examiners make any comment In
matters which were under dispute the
school board was sustained. but fur
ther than this the board of examiners
gave their entire approval without
special comment of any kind. The re
port of the board Of examiners was re
ceived today by Charles w. Jordan.

Campbell SAYS
!: ITS, TOO soon
Believes Japanese Legisla-
ton Should Await Open
ing Of Panama Canal.
BIG
OPPOSE MEASURE
Doesn't See How Governor
Johnson Can Sign in Face
Of Presidents Request

Anti-Japanese legislation. as passed
by the legislature of California, is
ahead of the times.
That is the opinion OF Thomas
Campbell, a former Grand Forks man
who now resides in Los Angeles. and
who is here on business. He returns
to California tonight.
He holds the opinion that the legis-
lation is not one for a state to deal
with, but one that is national in its
scope, and he believes that the Unit
ed States-rather than California
should settle 1t.
Matter For the Government.
II believe that the government is
right in this matter" said Mr.. Camp
bell today, land l do not see how
Governor johnson, in the fac of the
request made on him by the president
of the United States can we'll sign the
bill that has been laid before him.
THE present is not the time to take
this matter up. We are not prepared
for it. Should the Japs attack the
west coast of the United States we
only have two cities that are fortified,
while the Japs could cone clear across
the Pacific ocean and do a great deal
of damage before our fleet could reach
thereby way of the Horn, and that is
how they would have to travel now
While i am firmly convinced that
legislation of this nature is necessary,
l believe 1t should be delayed till the
opening of the Panama canal. We
are hardly ready to force the issue
now.
May Require Cltimatum.
The laps are very arrogant since
their victory over the Russians. and
it ma be that this question will reach
a head only by some direct ultimatum
from our government which will ST.
lence them.
Jap land owners in California have
proved to be remarkably successful
farmers. They have farlned pieces of
land that the Americans have not
gone near, getting good production
out Of the hill tops, etc. The law that
has passed allows them to retain their
land but they cannot buy more; they
can lease land, but only on a. one-year
basis.
Would Go to the People.
"If Governor johnson signs the bill
will be submitted to the people by
referendum. This would require any
where from 80 to so days before final
disposition would be made.
The big interests of California are
! opposed to the Japanese legislation at
this time. %contending that the time Is
not ripe.
las for the land owners. there is
need in the state, for the Japs or some-
one like them who can make the
lands pay out; the Americans have
not been able to make them pay as
we'll as have the Japs."

will surpass anything that has ever
been attempted before.
To the people Of North Dakota. the
North Dakota fair association for
Grand Forks addresses the following
announcement:
n North Dakota State Fair. asso-
citation for Grand Forks takes great
pleasure in presenting to the people
OF h state and northwest the prem
ium list and program for the 1913 fair.
The. Grand Forks Fair association has
given eight successful fairs from 1905
down to the present year. and by rea-
tfons. Grand Forks has justly become
known as the place Where They Give
the Good Fairs"
This title has been earned only
through hard work and the constant
aim In view Of giving to both exhibitor
and patrons the best %obtainable in
every way.
The amount offered. sls,o1s.5 so is in
excess of n offered before at Grand
Forks and the exhibition prospects at
the time this book goes. to the print
er. gives promise Of the largest money
award to the Live Stock and Agricul-
tural interests Of the northwest, In
the history Of fairs in North Dakota.
Policy Well Defined.
The policy Of the State Fair asso-
citation for Grand Forks has been we'll
defined from the day Of it's organiza-
ton and has been and always will be,
Education in its Highest Conception;
Amusement of the Best and Most
Wholesome Kind" and the unanimous
verdict of our people at the close Of
Forks Has Made Good"
Stock Growth Shown.
The breeders of blooded stock in
Minnesota and other states have found
that the state fair at Grand Forks Of
fers the best medium they can find
for the introduction and sale Of stock.
Since the year 1905 corn production
In North Dakota has increased very
nearly 400 per cent. This increase has
but n explanation. 1t means that
King Corn has obtained recognition in
our state and that every progressive
and up-to-date farmer will soon be
the owner Of a herd of blooded stock
that he, may receive the financial re-
turns Of home feeding. The advance
inquiries and reservations of stall and
pen room at this early date call for
the erection Of additional barns for
the accommodation Of a greatly In
creased exhibit of horses, cattle,
swine. sheep and poultry.
A re-arrangement of the classes IN
the live stock department insures the
equitable distribution Of prizes and
money. and follows strictly the policy
adopted by the different Live Stock as
sociations.
More Machines.
The machinery section il one that
always o attracts the attention Of the
visitor and the management believe
they are safe in claiming for the state
fair at Grand Forks the largest and
most comprehensive exhibit Of farm
machinery in the entire northwest.

MONUMENT IS BEING DELAYED

The winship Soldiers monument
will not be dedicated on Memorial
day. as had beer partly arranged for,
Tor the excellent reason that 1t Will
not be here at that time. The COM
mittee on arrangements has been
practically certain of this for ON
time, as the manufacturers had init
mated that they might be Obliged TO
ask for a little more time; but my
remaining doubts on tho matter have
been removed by definite information
that it will be impossible to have the
monument completed in time. The
manufacturers explain that the work
as all finished with the exception Of
some Of the engraving, and that this
has been delayed by the illness Of the
engraver who had started the work,
and 1t is not customary to change en-
gravers on this style of work, as this
leads to lack Of uniformity. The
manufacturers think that 1t will be
late in June before the monument
car be completed and in. place.
This, OF course. disposes Of all plans
for a Memorial day dedication. No
new date for the event will be set for
some time. as the time will depend on
what arrangements Mr.. 'Winship IS
able to make, and also on the conven-
ience Of the members of the local
Grand Army post. In the meantime,
the Memorial day exercises will be
held as usual, and the program is now
being arranged. Senator McCumber
had agreed to attend the exercises and,
deliver the main address. but. as his
presence was desired especially on ac-
count Of the dedication Of the monu-
n1ent. the. members Of the Grand Army
COMMITTEES do not feel that II would be
right Q them to attempt to hold him
to his promise to attend. as the trip
from Washington would be made for
ms special purpose. The senator will
therefore be released from his prom-
Use and Is not expected to be here TN
