PLAlNTlfFSAGAINS1E EQUITY
EXCHANGE GETS WRIT
COURT RULES DEFENSE HAS
FAILED TO PROVE SUIT IS PART
OF A CONSPIRACY.

Fargo, Aug. 13.-Judge Pollock rem
, dered decision in the Equity man
damus proceedings last nigh, by or
dering the writ. He held with the
plaintiffs that the defendant corpora
ton must establish beyond doub,
that there was conspiracy. although
the attorneys for the Equity had ask
ed that it be decided according to the
preponderancs Of the evidence.
Judge Pollock, however, placed re.
strictions around the decision which
will bar the petitioners from giving
the results to the press or from pub.
fishing them. Counsel for the two par.
ties are left to decide and agree upon
the conditions of the examination.
Judge Pollock held that, while thu
evidence adduced had shown that
there was an active and intense an.
tagonism on the part Of the chamber
Of commerce, the Equity exchange had
not established beyond a doubt that
this action was part Of conspiracy.
In announcing his decision Judge
Pollock said that il the publications
shown to have been distributed and
sent out by the Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce were false, as claimed by
the Equity Exchange, and as the tes-
timony introduced by the society tend.

action for damages against the Cham.

good and hard that they were there.
The writer was at this beautiful
and interesting place but one day and
evening-the hottest, by the way, of
the year-and spoke three times dur
ing the short stay, so could not do
justice to the place or people by way
of write-up, so will not try, but we
| do feel like urging all who can to at
tend it another season and see and
hear for themselves the many good
things we cannot even refer to here.
To show the interest the real and SUBJ
stantial farmers of that part of the
northwest are taking in this kind of
farm education, we will only mention
the part just two pioneer families
have taken in the work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Sanford, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Green, have each
given $1,000 of hard farm earned
money, to make 1t possible for two or
three hundred farm boys and girls to
camp the entire season at this uplift.
ing resort. How l wish all who read
| this could have been there and heard
the earnest helpful words these two
pioneer farmers said in simple re.
Spouse to a little reception extended
them by the management and young
people the day the writer was there.
We felt it truly an honor to be in,
vited to be with them.
why We gave this for the young
people more particularly" said Mr.
Sanford, in his brief response, was
because we thought in the Tong run Il
would do more good that way. Years
ago I noticed that when teachers
came into the country from our agri
cultural college or the institutes, they
spent little time with the old farmers,
more or less set in their ways OF
doing things, but that they aeve:
seemed to tire of suggesting bette.
methods to the younger ones among
us. I noticed this, and l noticed too
that with these younger men the i'm
proved methods began to show re-
suits. For these reasons we are glad
to contribute a little of our hard
earned money toward helping our
young farm boys and girls, hoping II
may save them some of the hard work
and discouragements we too often
experienced"
Mr.. Green also spoke feelingly fol
himself and wife, strongly endorsing
what Mr.. Sanford said, and adding a
number of helpful things and thoughts
which 70 young person present can
soon forget. There was something
peculiarly impressive, almost pathetic
in the earnest words of these strong
successful pioneer farmers. We shall
long remember them, their words and
the occasion.
Reluctantly We left these beauti.
full grounds, the splendid people and
the many enthusiastic and thoroughly
up-to-date teachers. With such PEG.
!; pie, such teachers and such great nat.
ural advantages, this thriving farm
chautauqua is bound to be a power in
moulding the future Of many.

Placed Nearly $50 Men,

COMMAND SALARIES FROM
SIS TO 500 PER MONTH

That there is an exceptional demand
for graduates of the State Norma
school here as teachers, is seen from
the fact that nearly $50 members o.
the last graduating class have beer
located in teaching positions for the
fall term. In addition to the mem
bers of the class of 1914, the sehoo
has been instrumental in placing
many of its former graduates in posi-
tions with an increased salary. Sal
aries of those placed this year range
from SIS to $500 a month and aver
age better than so, salary in each
case being commensurated with the
amount of time spent in residence at
the school, experience included.

MAJORITY VERY
MUCH REDUCED
Democrats Lose Many Seats in
Lower House Of Congress.

Washington, Nov. 5. - Although
eighty-five congressional districts were
still unheard from, Democratic lead
ers here were confident that the ad-
ministration would retain control Of
congress, although the majority in the
house might be cut from its present
strength of 141 to as low as twenty
five or thirty. After conference of
national Democratic committee off,
Gals at the White House with Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Tumulty
It was estimated the Democratic ma.
jority might possibly stand at thirty.
With the eighty-five congressional
districts missing the election of 1856
Democrats, 1872 Republicans and Pro
gressives was reported. The pres
ent complexion of the house is 285
Democrats, 129 Republicans, Is Pro-
gressives and 6 vacancies The re-
turns showed a gain of thirty-three
Republicans. It takes 218 for ma
jority in the house. To fulfill the
prediction of Democratic leaders of a
majority of thirty it is necessary for
sixty-three of the unreported districts
to be Democratic. They are claimed
by the leaders.

In Is per cent of returns from thir-
ty-eight counties Governor L. B. Han
ma has 1923 and Frank o. Hellstrom,
Democrat, 14,074. Hanna's lead over
the state is conservatively estimated
at 10000 and probably will run to be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. The same
precincts gave United States senator
A. J. Gronna 1921 and w. e. Pur-
cell 1885. 1t is believed Gronna's
total majority win be slightly less
than that accorded Mr.. Hanna.
The three Republican candidates
for congress, H. T. Helgesen in the
First district, George M. Young in the
Second, and p. D. Norton In the
Third. were reelected. Mr.. Helgesen
will have a majority over Fred Bar
tholomew of at least 5000. Mr. Young's
majority, as well as Mr.. Norton's,
will be about the normal Republican
margins.
Woman suffrage has been defeated
in the state by majority which may
reach $1,000, outside of the required
majority of all votes cast. Figures
available indicate that about 10 per

chise to women.
