HIGH Wages PAID

LANGON, n. D., April because
of the small amount of fall plowing
done last fall more than the usual
amount Of help will be required by
the farmers of North Dakota this
spring. This fact, coupled with the
shortage of men, is making a rather.
serious problem for the farmers. The
situation in Cavalier county is typi.
cal OF other sections of the state. The
commercial bodies and the better far
ming movement are cooperating to
secure men. Farmers are paying
from $50 to $40 per month for regu-
lar hands for the. season. s

WILSON, RETURN
MAKES MEX|CANS
NERVOUS
American Ambassador Main.
tains 0minous Silence
WANT MADERO TO RESIGN
Little Improvement of Late in Con-
dltion in Land Beyond Ric
Grande.

Mexico City, Jan. 5.-Anticipating
early developments in the relations
between the United States and Mex
leo. the keenest interest was shown
by Mexicans in the return here today
of the American Ambassador, Henry
Lane Wilson. The Ambassador was
besieged by reporters at Vera Cruz
and on his arrival at the capital, but
ne was communicative.
Some of the more sensational news
papers print strong criticisms OF the
administration, charging inconpe-
tepce. One paper published an extra
last night with big caption reading
only the resignation of the Presl-
dent can save us, the article setting
forth that this demand was contained
in note which Ambassador Wilson
would soon deliver.
The Ministers continue to assert
that the relations between the United
States and Mexico are friendly, but
the uneasiness of the public is reflect
ed by the Senate, which at secret
session interpellated the Sub-Secre'
tary of Foreign Relations for a state
ment as to the exact situation be-
tween the two countries. The Sub
Secretary has asked for time to pre-
pare the statement, for which, how
ever, he says there is no reason.
The request of the Executive that
the 4O.000.000 pesos bond issue recent
" authorized by Congress be increas-
ed TO 00,000,000 pesos has not yet
been granted. The Chamber, howev-
err. has authorized the Executive TO
use 100000 pesos to pay the inter
est on the State bonds, and thus main
tain the credit, since certain States
are unable to pay.
The Government points to the cam
paign which Col, Barron has been-car-
rying on in the States of GuanaJuato
and Michoacan as an evidence of the
improvement in the general situation
Col. Barron is now here. and announc
es that practically all the rebels in
that district have been eliminated.
Improvement in other regions is
slight if any Skirmishes between the
Federals and rebels occur almost dai
| ": many ranches have been raided
and towns sacked, while villages
| friendly TO the rebels have been des
| troyed and summary executions oil
prisoners continue. The strike stu
ationshows no improvement, but
there is a hopeful sign in the fact
that a committee of strikers is com
ing here TO confer with the railway s
management.
The Government has issued de
NAL that Francisco Cargajal. Presi
dent of the Supreme Court. has been
appointed to succeed Manuel Calero
as Ambassador to the United States
1t is generally believed, however, thai
| he will be named.

SLIGHT DAMAGE BY WATER
Sink in Apartments Above Roster
Store Overlooked Sunday Afternoon.

Sink in Apartments Above Roster
Store Overlooked Sunday Afternoon.
A portion of the stock in the Ros-
Ter store on Main street was damag-
ed Sunday afternoon by water which
ran through the ceiling from the
apartment overhead
A faucet in the rooms used as the
Taft Photographic studio was &C
cidently left open early in the alter
noon. The water "''-' '- sink and
overlooked. Considerable water ran
through the ceiling near the front OF
the store and caused damage to the
amount of about 1920.
The water had not been coming in
TO the store for any great length OF
time before the fact was discovered.
A skeleton key gave entrance into
the upstairs apartments and the wat
er was shut off.
Inasmuch as the damage was caus'
ed by the carelessness OF the occu-
pants of the studio apartments they
readily agreed to settle the claim OF
Mr.. Roster which has already been
adjusted.
During Sunday afternoon Mr.. Ros'
Ter and his assistants swept so much
water out of the store that people on
the street gained the impression that
there was large amount OF damage
to the stock. This is not the case
however, as the water came through
only a small area of the ceiling. BY
working hard Sunday afternoon and
night and keeping a hot fire in the
furnace Mr. Roster was able to re
move nearly all trace of the accident

MRS.WELLS DENIES
POISONING HER
CHILDREN
Swanton Mother Confident She
Will Be Acquitted
MAY BE MENTALLY III
Relatives Cite Instances of Strange
Behavior on the Part of the I'm
prsoned Woman.

st. Adams, Jan ST. have always
been a good mother to my children
and | know / will be cleared of this
terrible charge" said Mrs. Julius
Wells of Swanton, when seen today
at the Franklin county Jail where she
is held on the charge of numbering
two of her children.
Mrs. Wells did not appear very
much excited, although her cheeks
were somewhat flushed and every
few minutes she protested her in
nocence of the crime. She said she
expected to consult c. G. Austin,
well known lawyer of this city tomor-
row about taking charge of her case.
Many relatives and friends from
this city and Swanton visited the wo-
man today.
Mr.. Wells was with his wife all
the afternoon and advanced many
theories as to the way the children
might have accidentally gotten hold
of rat poison which he used frequent
ly. He also said that at the time the
children died he asked DR.. E. r. Lape
the attending physician, whether rats
might have carried poison onto vege-
tables as he thought then that per-
haps the children had been poisoned.
Later, Mrs. George Bombard of this
city, sister of Mrs. Wells, was inter-
viewed. She said that shortly before
Christmas Mr.. and Mrs. Wells were
at her home and during Mrs. Wells
absence from the room she asked MI.
Wells whether the children's bodies
had been exhumed She said she did
not ask this question in her sisters
presence as she felt so badly over
the deaths.
Mr.. Wells said in reply, according
to Mrs. Bombard, that they head thai
story was being circulated in Swan
ton that Annie (his wife), had
poisoned them, and he added, Il
think she did. You know she isn't
quite right" evidently meaning that
she was mentally unbalanced. He
said he had consulted lawyer.
Mrs. Bombard said the family had
never been to her sisters home much
since she married she said they had
aided her financially.
Enos Ladue, of Milton, father of
Mrs. Wells, who was at the home Of
his daughter, told a peculiar cir
cumstance about five years ago while
| Wells was living near his place in
Milton. Early in the evening, he said,
Mr. Wells came to his house and Mrs.
Ladue at once went to see her daugh-
ter When she reached the house
Mrs Wells was not there. After an
hours search she was found in fed
near the house. Apparently she was
badly frightened and the doctor who
was called had much difficulty IN re-
lieving her Afterward she had sew
eral attacks in which she would run
to a corner of the house as il trying
to hide, throwing her apron over Der
head and crying, 'he is comingl"
Mr.. Ladue said he had no money
but would do all in his power for his
daughter.

 Judge Hays advocated removing the deficit in the states finances by rais- ing the assessments of the wealthy of tie state, without increasing the tax rate. He favored liberal appropria- tions for Confederate veterans and ed ucation. He said the creation of a penitentiary commission was step in the right direction, and declared that he would not pardon pistol toters" or those convicted of the illegal sale of liquor.

HAYS DISAPPROYED
 SENATOR'S[LECTION
OPPOSED To ROBINSON
CANDIDATE DECLARES HE DE- FLORES CREATION OF PRES
 ENT VACANCY.

Somewhat to the surprise of many who heard him in his speech here late Saturday afternoon, Judge George w. Hays of Camden condemned almost as vigorously as his opponent in the race for governor, Stephen Brundidge, the election by the legislature of Governor Joe T. Robinson to the United States senate. Judge Hays not only said that he disapproved of the policital machi- nations causing vacancy in the gov 'ernor's office, but pointed to the fact that both the representative and sen- ator from his home county, Ouachita, had voted for MT. Brundidge and against Mir. Robinson, and that he himself was interested in the candida cy of a fellow -townsman, who would have entered the senate race had there been no election on the first ballot.
 Despite the late hour of beginning his speech, due to an accident to his auto between Vilonia and Conway, Judge Hays was heard here by a good crowd. He began speaking at 4 o'clock, being introduced by Judge P. H. Prince. The first portion of his address was devoted to a reply to charges against him by his opponent. Judge Hays explained that he had not resigned as circuit judge, because the people of that district, the only ones interested, had urged him to continue in office and were strongly supporting him in his race. As to the charge that he had violated the corrupt practices act in sending out the Kensett Key

EXAMINING TRIAL : OF NEGROES HELD ALL ARE BOUND OVER SPECIAL TERM OF COURT TO TRY WHITE SLAVE" CASES
 JUNE 2.

Examining trials of the seven ne- groes held in the county jail on charges of mistreatment of Gertie Hollingshead, a 14-year-old white girl, were held before Justice of the Peace George M. Easterwood in the grand jury room at the court house this morning. The court found the testi- mony in eacn case sufficient to justify holding the defendants to appear be- fore the grand jury, and the bond for appearance in each case was fixed at S2,000, in default of which the prison CTS were recommitted to jail.
 The defendants are Louvida Sims, a negro woman, charged with violating the white slave" law; Will Sims, Louis Hatten, John Cochran, Charley Mitchell and Button" Wiley, held on charges of carnal abuse; and Rob Smith. charged with assault.
 In a conversation over the long dis tance telephone with Circuit Clerk J. IT, Iloi lJC ySSCcIudy SIICuiC JuuSt Eugene Lankford stated that a special session of the Faulkner circuit court to try the cases could not be legally held before June ?, but that he would issue an order for the court at that time. The judge was anxious to hold the court this week, and, before de- clining to do so, took the matter up with one of the judges of the supreme court, who advised him that the 10 days notice to the prosecuting attor- ney of a special tec:n could not be waived a recent decision of the su- preme court deciding that point.
 Judge Lankford again. requested that the prisoners be taken to Little Rock for safe-keeping, but Sheriff J. s. Johnson stated that there is abso- lutely no danger of an outbreak of mob violence, all threats of such vio- lence having subsided early last week.
