feet on the Mount Washington hillside.
David Zoupcoff, a Western Union mes

give up his fight and loose his hold on
the small jutting of rock that had stood

Zoupcoff, while near the Mount

last nickel to roll out of his hand over
the bluff. Not knowing of the sudden

dashed over the bluff after his money.

at which he was acquitted Of n1lr-

the sensations produced at Cooper's
hearing before Miss Fern Hobbs, act

Gruder himself testified that on the
night of Jan. "a last, at the request
of ]. IA. Sullivan (who, 1t was alleged,
rs a detective), he went to the Imperial
hotel where he, following Sullivan's s
instructions, pretended to be Cooper
and conducted conversation which,
when transcribed by a shorthand re-
porter, who was concealed in an ad-
joining bathroom, would lead to the
inevitable conclusion that Cooper had
participated in jury bribing.

REMOVAL
PETITION
STARTED

Lidgerwood, N. D., March 27.-
Charging that they have been negli-
gent in the enforcement of the prohi-
bition law, petition is being circulat-
ed here asking for the removal OF
Sheriff Frank Budack, States Atty. C.
y. Kachelhoffer, and the assistant
states attorney of Richland county.
and of the mayor and two policemen
of Lidgerwood.
1t is said that this petition will be
sent to Governor Hanna today. The
governor has power to remove delin-
quent officers, this power having been
conferred upon him by the last legis-
lature. and the petition will probably
result in a thorough investigation of
the charges by the governor.

returned to North Dakota where. he
says, he is wanted, not on a charge of
jury bribing, but as witness in a
$4,000 civil suit against Harry Coop
xer, the father. This suit has been
brought by the heirs of James Ross,
for the murder of whom Cooper, was
tried and acquitted on the grounds
or self f-defense. Miss Hobbs will make
her report to Governor West this
week.
It appears that Sullivan and r.. w.
Bradfield came to Portland about Jan.
~, last, and they passed much of their
tlme at the Oxford bar, where they
met McEruder. Sullivan was free with
MS money and cGruder cultivated his
friendship. On the night of Jan. "a,
according to McGfuder's testimony,
sullivan asked him to do al favor. He
assented. They went to Sullivan's
room at the Imperial hotel. On the
way to the hotel McGruder said Sulli-
van told him he wanted to get 81 state
ment from a man named Cooper 2
and that all he would need to do
would be to answer his questions af-
firnatively, and that shorthand re-
porter would be in an adjoining room

American Automobile association will
start on a visiting trip to the largest
states and local clubs between the two
coasts. Meetings and conferences be-
tween the head of the national body
OF automobilists and the officers in
the several states will relate to ques-
tions of American Automobile associa-
tion policy generally, and have parti-
cular refernce at this time to federal
road legislation. Matters Of special
interest. to the various states also will
be passed upon, for it is the effort Of
the American. Automobile association
to further uniformity in all laws af-T
fecting the use OF the motor driven
vehicle. -

regret Ito me, said Mr.. Wilson at the

just before starting, "that I cannot
come in contact with all the officers

ones missed this time will be seen,

There Is one thing which will
endeavor to make positively clear to
our members in connection with the
important duty of assisting in coun-
try-W1de highways progress. The Am
erican Automobile association is for
a comprehensive development which
shall include the feeder roads from the
market towns to the farms. We are
not seeking the through road to the
detriment of the town laterals; but we
do not believe that the township unit

the central government. If the state,

Incidentally, 1t is well worth while
to keep at home the thousands who
have leisure and vacation opportuni-
ties of becoming better acquainted
with their own country, for our scenic

in many instances, these places are
