Bismarck, N. d., Feb. 27.-Ben
Ness appeared before the bar of the
house this morning charged with con-
tempt in that he is alleged to have at
tempted to bribe three members OF
what is known as the antt-snuff bill.
He was represented by Tracy Bangs
of Grand Forks.
Bangs suggested that, on account of
the seriousness of the case special
set of rules of conduct should be pre-
pared and made an argument to that
effect but on a vote of the house 1t
was decided that the present rules
should apply in the hearing but that
there could be an appeal taken from
the chair on a vote of the member
ship.
Ness entered q plea of not guilty
and Bangs objected to all proceedings,
claiming the house had no jurisdic-
tion but the objection was overruled.
The chairman of the committee then
called Divet to the witness stand and
he was asked to tell the story of his
dealings with Ness. His story was
substantially the same as was recited
In the complaint but was given in
more detail He told how he and
Twichell had got Ness to come to
their rooms in the hotel and wormcd
out of him just how much money he
was supposed to be authorized to pay
and by insinuating that, If they were
to be approached, the amount first
offered was not enough got him to
raise the amount offered to $3,500
Divet made the statement that a
man named Rice, supposed to be vice
president of the American Tobacco
Co. was, according to the story Of
Ness, the man who had the cash to
pay the brihe and that Lee Pettibone
of Steele was also in on the game.
The name of John Sullivan, Mandan
attorney and of @. ]. Murphy of Grand
Forks were also mentioned in Divet's
testimony, not as being party to the
bribery but as being attorneys for the
tobacco trust.
Divet said that while telling the
story of the attempt to deal with Ness
that their idea all the time was 70
get Pettibone and Rice to make an Of
fer and a tender of money but in this
they failed. Divet stated that he told
Bernt Anderson and other members
OF the house what was going on and
what he and TwicheIl were trying to
do and Anderson was suggested as the
discreet third person who was to
handle the money. The witness stated
that Ness claimed arrangements had
been made to take care of DIR. BarticS,
a member Of the house. for 81 900 and
that the trust had only $4,000 u
spend at this time.
Bangs the attorney for the defense
took the witness at 1890
Many Names Mentioned.
Divet stated that Ness mentioned
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1913-02-27

to him the following names as among
those who were to be fixed for oppos-
ing the measure at this session:
Rep. A. M. Thompson of Ward, $500;
and Ryan of Morton, Miller of Noun
trail and Taylor of Mountrail were
each to be remembered in financial
manner for their services against the
bill. Ness also is stated to have said
to Divet that Norheim and Stenejhem
of Mountrail were both right" but
did not mention the use of any money
in their connection.
Thompson and Ryan both took the
floor and stated that there was no
truth in the statement that they had
been approached by the defendant in
regard to the anti-snuff bill, Thomp-
son making the claim that he had
spoken only once to Ness during the
entire session and that the anti-snuff
bill had not been mentioned at that
time.
During the recital by Divet he made
the statement that Ness told him that
$4,000 had been spent to kill the anti
snuff legislation two years ago and
when asked who had got that money
he answered that Ness informed him
that Senator La Moure was paid ST.
200 and Senator Hookway $1,000.
number of others, 1t was stated,
were implicated but these were not
mentioned.
At IL o'clock Bangs had not finish
ed his cross examination and a recess
was taken until 1880. There is every
indication that the case will not be
concluded for several days and it may
require number of night sessions,
Just before recess another steno

A producer can sell at retail In
North Dakota without a license.
This is the decision of the supreme
court of the state in a. case to test
what is known as the transient mer-
chant law. The supreme court holds
that the man who produces, whether
he be farmer in North Dakota or
a fruit grower in some other state,
who ships in a car of apples, is not a
transient merchant and the transient
merchant law does not apply in such
case.
Following is the syllabus In the

The report is the result OF the com

The House.

Washington, Feb. 27.---A lively dis
cussion was precipitated in congress
sional circles by a published statement
credited to President -elect Wilson that
he intended to spend part of each
working day in the presidents room at
the capitol to keep in closer touch with
legislative offices.
Such action on the part Of the pres
ident would overturn the precedent
which restricts the presidents visits
to the capitol to the last few hours Of
the session of congress.
The democrats discussed the plan
with reluctance, though some seemed
to favor 1t. Some leaders of the senate
said they believed 1t impossible for Mr..
Wilson to leave his executive duties
and visit the capitol daily and that he
would not find 1t SO easy to confer over
