DRY TERRITORY IS

Chicago, April 9.-Woman's first
use of the ballot in Illinois worked
radical changes.
The suffrage vote drove 1,100 of the
5000 saloons voted on out of Illinois.
1t added nineteen counties to the dry
column, now numbering forty-nine In
the state. Several of the larger cities
will close their saloons.
With few exceptions the male vote
alone in the cities and counties ia.
vored the "wets." and in. Springfield
and few other cities the women's
vote helped swell the majority In ia
vor Of the saloons.
In Chicago, while the women failed
to elect any one of the eight women
candidates for the council, their vote
added great strength to the nonpar.

down the majority of the old line

The female vote forced the election

HEAVY swine LOSSES
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Crop and Stock Conditions
Prices Of Products.

In an estimate of the condition of
rye in North Dakota for April, 1914,
the bureau of statistics, United
States department of agriculture,
gives 81 per cent as compared with
S3 per cent last year and the condi-
tion throughout the United States
this year 91.3 per cent. The ten
year average for North Dakota is "a
and for the United states 1913.
The losses of horses and mules per
1000 by disease, for the year ending
April 1, 1914, have been II and the
losses in the United States 20 per
1000. In cattle, loseses per 1000
by disease were 16; and for 1913,
12; for the United States, on ten
year average, 20.5 per thousand.
There were few losses of cattle in
North Dakota by exposure, not over
z for last year and s for the preced-
ing year, out of every 1000 head.
The average loss for ten years
throughout the country from the
same cause during the same period
was 1876. .'-...
With losses OF swine, however,
North Dakota shows heavy in
crease, there being Is out of every
1000 lost through disease up to
April1 1914 and for 1913 period
there we're but 90. Losses in the
United tSates for 1914 per 1000
were 11S and 10 respectively for
the last two years. The ten years.
average loss throughout the coun-
try is so per 1000. This heavy in
crease in losses of swine is due to
the ravages of cholera.

GOOD BUSINESS
DEAL FOR STATE
Retirement Of Bonds and Sav-
ing Of Interest. =.

Bismarck, N. D., April 1O.-When
Governor Hanna called special
meeting of the state auditing board,
December 20, 1913, and requested
the board to authorize the auditor
the treasurer to retire nearly third
of the state bonded debt, he no
doubt realized the interest saving
would be large, but it is not unlikely
he failed to realize the saving would
prove so tremendous total sum as
a careful computation indicates.
He presented for the consideration
of the board statement showing
large cash balances in the following
funds:
State bond sinking fund, $780,
295.S9, derived from a special tax
levied annually to provide funds for
the payment of the state debt, as the
bonds became due.
Twine plant operating fund, $134,-
67S.9S, earnings of state twine plant
at the penitentiary, to be used for
operating of twine plant and pay
ment of it's bonds.
Capitol building funds, $195,194,-
81, accrued from sale of it's land
grant from the federal government,
and interest on It's land sales con-
tracts.
He informed the board that the
bonds he had in mind taking up
wereall owned at this time by the
permanent fund of the common
schools, held as investments, and
that beside stopping the interest,
the permanent fund would be in
creased in the sum of $275,000,
which would Immediately become
available for the purchase of bonds
of school districts, cities, towns and
counties of our state, and for loan
ing on farm mortgages at per cent.
The bonded debt would be reduced
20 $40 per cent; the state bond
sinking fund would be put to the
use for which the money was col
lected; the twine plant fund being In
such condition that the $4,000 OF
bonds against it could be retired
some seven years before due. with
out interfering with the proper man
agement of the plant, and further al
lowing saving of $4,000 annually
for interest; and there being no I'M
mediate use for the Capitol building
funds, which were lying idle, the
$4,000 of bonds against these funds
could be retired some nine years be-
fore due and allow a saving OF

EVIDENCE IN BRIBERY
CASE IS REVIEWED
Case Against Tracy Bangs is
Dismissed Congratulated.

UIduQ tOrkS, April 1V.-A mOLlOQ
was made for the dismissal of the
jury bribery charges against Tracy
r. Bangs and James Mahon. The
case against Tracy Bangs was dis
missed. Last evening over 100
prominent citizens of Grand Forks
visited the home of Attorney Bangs
and extended their congratulations
and expressed the belief that they
had never considered him guilty of
any of the charges that have been
brought during the past three weeks
the case has been in progress.
The court refused the motion to
dismiss the case against j. c. Mahon,
the alleged go-between, and he has
been given the alternative of intro
ducing more testimony or waving
examination. His lawyers tonight
declined to state what action will be
taken.
Sullivan, the informer in the case,
has been arranged on a charge of
bribery. He has waived examination
to bring the case to trial in the dis
trict court.
In reviewing the case, Attorney
George A. Bangs, for the defendants,
pointed out that the evidence showed
up crookedness on the part of the
opposing counsel, also Andy Sullivan,
the witness, and Detectives Hatch
field and Bradfield, who were called
"stool pigeons" Mr.. Bangs de-
clared that no credence should be
given to Sullivan's testimony, whom
he declared to be a perjnrer of the
Nerst sort and who had been trying
to concoct story to convict the de-
PENDANTS of crime. Sullivan's
statements were declared to be the
wild rawlings of a moral degenerate
and unworthy of BELIEF; that his
statements were contradicted on the
stand, especially Sullivan's testi-
mony that he had seen many of the
Jurors drunk. AS to getting Tracy
Bangs to become responsible for
Sullivan's bank loans, the attorney
declared that this reflected credit
upon Bangs who was busy at the
time and supposed that Sullivan
needed some small sums and thought
that it would be all right to let him
have the money. Bangs action in
this matter was merely an incident
and had no relation to any guilty in
tention to encourage or aid in the
bribing of the jurors. The farce
that was pulled off in the Portland
hotel to manufacture evidence
against Mclean Cooper was shown
up as piece of cheap detective
work. 1t was pointed out that none
of the other members of the jury
who tried the case ware called upon
to testify, by the prosecution, which
refused to place all the jurors on the
stand. The whole claim of tamper-
ing with the jury, it was shown, had
been investigated before his death
by Judge Templeton, who employed
reputable detectives from the Burns
agency, who worked for two weeks
after the trial, and Judge Temple
ton found there was no evidence of
bribery which would justify him
taking the case into court. The
charge was brought against men of
previous good character, by man
whose reputation was worthless and
whose acts showed him to be a
CRATER" a drunkard and who was
endeavoring to earn money to secure
him from immunity from. prosecution
for other crimes.
