DECISION ON
ALIEN LABOR
Continued From Page One.

.--
vision of the alien labor law. By that
section, the minimum fine for bring
ing an alien laborer into the United
States is $1,000. It therefore seems
probable that a judgment will have to
be entered against Longtin for the
sum Of $4,000. and costs. for his mad
vertent mistake in bringing these la
borers into the United States to help
him thresh his grain. .
The alien laborers were held in jail
to be used as witnesses against Long
tin upon his trial. After his case was
disposed of, the laborers supposed
they would be permitted to return to
Canada. 1t was then that they learn
ed for the first time that the govern
ment intended to deport them to
Austria. Mr.. Richardson, of this city,
took up their case, without compensa-
ton, and presented a petition to Judge
Amidon for a writ of habeas corpus
to test the right of the commissioner
of labor to send these laborers back
to Austria.
The case presents an important
question. Some of the sections Of the
alien labor law required aliens who
are found to be illegally in the United
States, to be deported to the county
whence they came" Another Sec
ton requires that aliens who embark
for he United States, but enter
through Canada or Mexico shall be
sent to the Transatlantic port at
which they embark. The commissioner
of labor insists that inasmuch as these
laborers entered the United States
from Canada, they must be sent to
Europe. In the opinion filed today,
Judge Amidon holds that alien labor
ers a be sent back to Europe when
they entered the United States
through Canada, only when they "em-
barked for the United States" and
use Canada or Mexico simply as a
backdoor for getting into the United
States. He holds that If foreigners
come to Canada to make that country
their home, and settle there SO as to
obtain a domicile in that country, then
if they afterwards come to the United
States, in violation of law, n have
to be deported, they must be sent back
to Canada, and not to Europe. In the
present case, he orders judgment to be
entered hat these Austrians be re-
turned to Canada, and ~forbidding the
commissioner of labor to deport them
to Europe.

bridge PERMIT TO
STREET RAIL WAY CO

One order of business before the adj
tourned meeting Of the city council,
last night, was the consideration OF
the application Of the Fargo and moor
Vious meeting, for permission to use
the south bridge for another period Of
one year. The company was represent
ed by Attorney Dosland and Superln-
tendent Brown. both of whom readily
answered the several questions asked
by different aldermen. A motion was
adopted granting the company the use
of the bridge for another year at q
monthly rental Of $50 a month and the
mayor and clerk were authorized to
execute a lease covering the contract
between the city and company.
The correspondence on the desk Of
Clerk Price disclosed that the ghost Of
a new city jail building for Moorhead

the state board of control at st. Paul

the board Of control, but they seemed

matter Of city Jail. Last night the
council turned the matter over to the
city commission who will call a meet

request Of the state board. To supply
money to build the Jail with will re-

TRUSTEES HAD
BRIEF LIBERTY

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 20.-Two pris-
oners, who escaped from the state
penitentiary Friday evening, We're
picked up late yesterday afternoon at
Tuttle, this state, by former guard
Flow, who resides there. No resist
ance was offered to arrest.
Both men had nearly served their
sentences at the time Of their escape.
They walked away from Warden
Talcott's institution Friday evening
between the hours Of 1885 and 8
o'clock. Their names are Jess Schla-
berg, who was doing time for horse
stealing in Williams county, and Fred
Bugenski, who was in for forgery and
came from Darlington.
The men were engaged in milking
in the cow barn and were busy with
their work at the first hour mention
ed. Thirty-fve minutes later they
were missing.
Time Near An End.
~Schlaberg is from Goshen, Ind, is
married and has one child. He was
sentenced to four years Jan. Ia, 1913,
in Williams county for horse stealing
and had been a good prisoner. He was
earning good time and had but anoth-
er year to serve then he would have
been free, but, as it is, he will now be
compelled to serve full time now.
One Near Parole.
Bugenski was sentenced Oct. 4, 1912,
for forgery at Darlington. 1t seems
there was either some doubt about his
guilt, or there was a sentiment in his
favor and the judge and states attor-
which in all probability would have
been granted and he would have been
a free man-but he has lost it all and
will have to serve full time.

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-Wheat: The price
trend has not been pronounced either
way most of the session but in view
of the higher cables from Liverpool the
action of the market was disappoint-
Ing. The English market was influence
ed by outside speculative support and
by the less favorable European crop
However, commission hous-
es were free sellers here on the hard
spots, and there was but little activity
on the buying side. Colder weather ts
indicated but it is likely the cold Will
be preceded by snow in which no dam
age would be caused. The market is
urgently in need of more radical pull
ish DEVELOPMENTS in the news to cause
any good buying demand and for the
present think the market Will be IN
fluenced largely by other grains.
Corn-Has been under considerable
pressure. Selling has been of influen-
tial character and with the lack OF any
cash demand OF consequent, the mild
weather is a big factor. Offerings from
the country are not heavy but supplies
are liberal in all positions and with
spring like weather prevailing all over
the country in the later part of jan
uary, Argentine competition still a fac
tor and no prospect of any important
export outlet we believe prices VIII
work materially lower.
Oats-Situation in this cereal is one
of big supply and moderate shipping
demand. For this reason we can see
no reason why there should be any adj
vance in prices especially with other
grains seeking a more uniform level
with other countries.

TO FREE
KRAFCHENkO

Winnipeg, Jan. 2O.-Close following
upon the news of the recapture of Jack
Krafchenko, the Plum coulee bandit,
held here for murder, all Winnipeg
will soon hear the detailed plot as Civ
en- by J. H. Buxton, jr., who unfolded
the story of how the desperate u
ceeded in making his escape from the
city Jail eight days ago, and which
was made public last night.
Before the royal commission yester-
day afternoon, commencing at the be-
ginning Of his relations with Reid and
Hagel, in reference to the Krafchenko
escape, J. H. Buxton, jr., told Of the
entire plot, right up to it's dramatic
talked to Hagel and him Of the plan Of
escape. He detailed the plan as fol-
lows:
The Plot.
Krafchenko had to have a gun and
Reid had promised that if he couldn't
get one by any other means the pris-
oner could have Reds automatic. At
the right time, Krafchenko was to hold
up the police officers, Reid making
some show Of resistance, but the other
guard was the mar to watch. Kraf-
chenko had worked on the bolts holding
the bars. to the wall over the window
and had lOoSened all but one. That
one, he old Reid and Hagel, could be
loosened If he were supplied with a
small bicycle wrench. Having wrench
ed the BAR loose, after holding up the
policemen, he was to tie together nine
blankets in his cell and use them to
climb down to the ground.
He was then to walk over to the city
hall stand, pick out a fast car, jump
in and tell the chauffer to. drive out
into the country a little way. Then
the revolver was to be poked into his
ribs, with instructions that he drive
on. After the chauffeur had driven
so far as to, be away from all means
Of communication, Krafchenko was to
order him out of the car and then ak
ing the automobile, proceed to North
Daokta.
Wanted a "Gat."
Buxton related how two days be-
for the escape, Hagel had said to
him: "T've got to get a Cat" (Gat
was the slang term for a Calling gun,
or automatic revolver). "Can you get
one for me?" On being asked by Bux-
ton what he wanted with a "Gat," Ha-
gel replied, Never mind what I want
it for. I've got to get a "Gat'-Can
you get one for me? I don't give a
damn how I get it S 0 long as l get
it."
Buxton had redeemed his wi Colts
automatic revolver n another, both
of which were produced in court. and
entered as exhibits. The automatic
was placed in a drawer, from which
Reid took 1t after Buxton had refused
to hand it to him and say, There's
a little present for you.,' Reid had
taken It and said, That's just what I
want"
