HABEAS CORPUS
PROCEEDINGS ON
NELSON'S ATTORNEY WILL AP.
PLY FOR WRIT IN UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT

Biamarckj Nov. 28-F. O. He'll
strom of this city, retained as attor-
ney by George L. Nelson, the Fargo
journalist who was sentenced to serve
ten days in the Burleigh county Jail,
charged with being in contempt of the
supreme court, leaves for Fargo this
morning for the purpose of filing ap-
plication for writ of habeas corpus.
The application will be made before
Judge Charles F. Amidon in the
United States district court at Fargo.
at ten o'clock Monday morning. Mel
son was sentenced by the supreme
court last Monday, and at the time
his attorneys are applying for writ
of habeas corpus he will have served
one week of his sentence.
"The serving of ten days in Jail Is
no more punishment, of course, than
just the mere formality of being SEN
fenced to that confinement. But vim
dication before the courts will take
away the sting of the punishment:
We hold that the supreme court had
no Jurisdiction in that case"
These were the statements made by
Mr.. Hellstrom last night.

New York, Nov. 27-The New
York stock exchange will reopen
Saturday for restricted dealings in
the several classes. of bonds which are
formally listed and approved by that
institution and which run into hun
dreds of millions of dollars. The de-
cision to resume operations in this

ly attended meeting and is the out
come Of many weeks Of agitation on
the part of majority of the 1,1OO ex-
change members. .....s .....
In the formal statement announcing
the resumption it is specifically de-
clared that all dealings are to be un-
der the supervision of the special COM
mittee of five, which has exercised alb
solute authority over the affairs OF
the exchange since July 80 last, the
day of its suspension.
It is furthermore prescribed that
all transactions are to be for cash.

ment Of speculation or marginal ira
ding. Also there can be no trading

punishment.

interesting of the evening.

preliminary estimates Of crop produc-
ton this year indicate that the aggre,
gate per acre yields of all crops will

QUIET DAY FOR
THANKSGIVING
CHURCH ATTENDANCE LARGE
MANY DINNER PARTIES---
BEAUTIFUL WEATHER

Thanksgiving day in this city was
AZ q Of the most enjoyable Of the year
and was spent in the usual manner.
Church services were held, union SER
vices being held in the Congregational
church and the program as announced
was carried out. The offering amount
ed to $75. Fifteen dollars of this
amount goes to the childrens home in
Fargo and the balance to the Williams
County Belgium Relief Fund. This
offering is considered very compli-
mentary one and expresses the liberal
mindedness of the people of the city
of Williston.
Many dinner parties were held at
the homes and restaurants and many
of the young people formed theatre
parties for the evening. The weather
was delightful and this added to the
days enjoyment for many who took
advantage of the climate to enjoy sew
eral hours skating on the large slew

BRITISH SHIPS IN
PANAMA WATERS
CHARGED THAT THEY ARE DIS
RUPTING ALL FORMS OF
AERIAL COMMUNICATION

New York, Nov. 3O.--At least 12
British warships are patrolling the
Atlantic between New York and the
Panama canal, sweeping the seas with
their wireless, crowding ordinary
commercial radios from the air, and
keeping close check on all forms Of
shipping, according to wireless opera
tors on the steamship Ancon, that has
Just arrived from Cristobol.
The wireless activity of these war
vessels, the operators said, is causing
great inconvenience to commercial
work on the American vessels, as the
high powered waves of the men of
war are heard continually in utter dis
regard of commercial business.
"These warships," the Ancon's op-
orator said. "pay no attention to the
wireless rules governing wireless op-
erations. With their high power ap-
paratus they cut into the middle of q
message and absolutely disregard all
requests to keep out. We have no
means Of identifying the ships as they
use code exclusively, code that appears
to be made up Of . combination Of
numbers.
t'However, we have counted twelve
distinct ship calls or signals, indicat-
ing approximately the number in this
portion of the Atlantic"

FUNDS WANTED
NEXT WEEK
SIX COMMITTEES WILL CANVASS
THE CITY NEXT WEEK FOR
FUNDS FOR NEW HOSPITAL

The City wide campaign for the hos
pital will be inaugurated next week
and four days, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday will be given to-
the whirlwind canvass for stock sub
scriptions. Five committees of men
and one ladies committee will have
charge of the canvass. They Will
meet every evening to report the pro-
gress. A selected list of names will
be put into the hands of each COM
mittee for each day, and there will be-
a spirit of rivalry between the COM
mittees as to which committee cam
turn in the largest total at the close
of each day and at the close of the.
fina lcanvass. Citizens are urged to-
respond promptly bearing in mind the
following advantages to the city and
to the whole Northwestern part of the
State and Northwestern Montana.
There is no hospital between Minot
and Glasgow and Wifliston is the na-
tural center geographically and COM
mercially. In fact that patients have
been turned away for lack of accomo-
dations puts it up to the citizens to-
provide adequate Accommodations. 1t;
will be benefit both directly and in
directly, not only to the City, but to
all of the people in the surrounding
territory. Every division point on the
railroad should have good hospital
to provide for accidents. The fact
that this effort is to be a united one
makes a special appeal. The COM
mittee making the arrangements con-
sists of l.. C. Wingate, Chairman;
John J. Murphy, Secretary; A. N.
Eidsness, w. H. Westergaard and
John Bruegger. Acting with this COM
mittee are the following local minis
ters: E. S. Shaw, E. P. O'Neil, I. T..
Monson. A. E. Distad, H. S. Harriss..
These committeeman will have asso-
ciated with them thirty more men and
committee Of ten women. Boost

Bourne, Australia, Dec. 1.-The
Melbourne age, referring to the views,
of former President Taft concerning
the Monroe doctrine, expressed re-
Gently at Montclair, N. j., particu-
larly his statement that the United
States would not be compelled by the
terms of the doctrine to intervene If
Canada should be attacked by Ger
many, has this to say:
"If this inperretation represents the
views of the government of the Unit
ed States an event of first rate inn
portance to the entire civilized world
has taken place. If the Wilson gov
ernment shares Mr.. Taft's opinion it
is very clear that Monroeism is
thing Of the past and that the Unit
ed States has addicted the position
she has been jealously guarding for
a period extending upwards of eighty
years."

Reports of a naval engagement in

They are pure inventions, according
