Three important legal changes were
taken up this morning by the North
Dakota Bar association, that were
adopted as reported by committees,
and EFFORTS will be made to have them
incorporated into the laws of this
state.
In paper written by G. w. Newton
of Bismarck, on A Duty of Lawyers,
which was read before the convention
by Atty. A. w. Cupler Of this city,
he made the suggestion that there be es-
tablished in this state a tribunal of
Cancellation before which parties to liti-
cation may come to settle their
cases out of court.
The paper called attention to the
fact that such a plan was being used
in wisconsin and that it has been a
very great afctor in expediting the
work of the courts, being means of
taking from the regular calendar cases
of settlement and making way for such
cases as actually come to hearing.
The paper pointed out that in Wis
consin from one-fifth to one-third of
the cases originally docketed found
their way to the tribunal of conctlia-
ton. The paper also suggested that
the matter be considered by the state
bar association.
The North Dakota Bar association
received and adopted the recommend
alton and the matter was placed in the
hands of the committee on law reforms
TO take up more fully.
The general belief among the bar
risters is that such an institution
would be a. great benefit to the entire
state as 1t would bring such cases
where there is a chance Of settlement
together with the principals and at
torneys before a regularly con-
stituted tribunal for the purpose of
discussing ways and means for settling
their differences out OF court
Probate Code Revision.
The committee on the revision of the
probate code made a. report showing
that it would be necessary to make an
entire revision and the committee sug-
gested that the matter be placed in the
hands of an especially appointed revIs-

cess Of the Mexican peace conference.
It was announced last night that
General Carranza had fatty refused TO
enter into any peace conference and

preventative of General Villa, gave out
letters which have passed between him

representative. Mr.. Llorente began the
correspondence in observing in the
press that Charles A. Douglas, counsel

ers of North Dakota ought to get into
their wheat fields as earlyIas possible,
according to John Inglis, the we'll

quite green at the head. The nutri-
ment is all cut of the ground and in

THE GATE CITY MINISTRIES

When the local lecture course was organized last fall, it was announced that one of the closing attractions would. be a local home talent show. This show will be a show; one that everybody can and will appreciate. For the past two months the managers of the entertainment have been quietly, but busily engaged in selecting the personel of the company, selecting the latest and catchiest music, writing the first part, and generally getting things in shape, until now it can be defnately( announced that everything is in perfect shape and that on Friday, April 3Oth, 1915, the best show that has been given in. Williams in the past ten years will occupy the boards at the Sultana Theatre.
 k The vehicle selected for the evenings entertainment is an old-fashioned minstrel perfor- nance in two parts, the overture, or first part, and the olio, con- sisting of a number of first class vaudeville features.
 One of the pleasing features of the minstrels will be the music to be furnished by the George L. Barnes Orchestra. All the very latest and most popular music now being whistled and sung from New York to San Francisco is on the program and will be used by soloists who can sing.
 Watch for the big street parade!
 Watch for the program!
 Get in line, men! Don't shove!

LARGEST DANCE

The Base Ball dance given at the Sultana Theatre last Satur- day night was the largest town dance of the season. All present. had an exceedingly good time and hope that the boys will give, another dance in the near future. The only dance given in Williams that had a larger attendance this season was the orchestra dance given by the Auracher Orchestra following the Santa Fe entertain ment given by this company.
 The ball boys report net pro- ceeds from the dance of forty five dollars, which is a small indication of the enthusias m which the people have for this years team.

UNEXPECTED ENDING

The ending of the photo play, ''The Marked Woman," given at the Sultana theatre Tuesday night, was unexpected by most of the aud fence, at least. The Russian am- bassador with the Russian peace was no longer threatening factor. The Chinese prince and his and the herolne's sons, had been killed. The heroine was then free to depart with the American Lieutenant. That solution would have seemed quite satisfactory, but it was by no means as good as the ending given by the author. The authors solution raised it from merely thrilling play to a play no less thrilling but at the same time. con- veying a great lesson.
 But perhaps you didn't see the play. You missed a treat in that case. In fact, all of these Tuesday night specials are treats, we'll worth the price and as good as gou get in much larger towns. Nor iythat all- If you watch the bulletin boards. you will find great many more specials of the first order sched- uled for other nights in the week, at the Sultana, and on no night will you find anything of low order.
 The people are the judges. They should give their hearty support to the best that MT. Sweetwood offers. In this way they will encourage the production of the very best that may be had anywhere on the "mo- vie" screen.

Following the reading was a dis cussion of Sudermann's teach nique-theme, plat, characters and climax of the play.

GATEWAY CLUB
 HOUSE WARMING

The Gateway Club atits business meeting at the Parish House, Thurs day night, April g, decided to hold a house warming and ladies' night, this week Friday. The house warming is given in celebration of the opening of the new club house. Of,course the ladies need be present at the house warming, but ladies' night has a meaning outside of that. Ladies night is to become something of regular affair. It will occur about once month. The men offer it rather as peace flooring, in the hopes that it will gain the women's consent to many evenings spent at the club house by the men.
 The club house which the men occupy at present is the M J. Rounseville residence across from the Post Office. This was open to the Club on the tenth of this month. It offers pleasant quarters for the men to congregate for social fellow ship and recreation. It fills long felt want for the men of the town.

l2 BOTTLES OF WHISKEY
 AND A BBL. 0F BEER
John Lootas Finds Violation of Dry Ordinance an Ex- pensive Move.

Last Thursday night, John Lootas dismounted from No. 2 with two extremely heavy suit cases. The handle of one of the cases had given away under the unusual burden. Lootas deposit ed the suit cases near the bagg- age room, displaying just a little nervousness, then walked away, to see about his trunk, but not before the attention of Robert Burns, night marshal, had been drawn to the heavy cases.
 While MT. Lootas was absent Burns hefted the hand baggage and his suspicious grew. When Lootas returned, Bobby" asked him what was in the cases. Nothing, replied Lootas.
 Knowing that it was unusual for suitcase full of nothing" to weigh enough to break the handle, the marshal called Lootas inside and had him open the cases. They were filled with bottles of liquor. Burns thereupon put his man under arrest and took him over town. He was later released on bond. The following morning Burns again took Lootas in custo- dy and soon learned what he had done with his trunk. It was at the home of a Mexican woman in the west part of town, and was found to contain bottles of Beer.
 The case was brought before judge McConkey and Lootas found guilty of violating, the city ordinance. He will be sentenced Friday.
 County Sheriff Dickinson, later rearrested Lootas and took him to Flagstaff. He is out now on a $500 bond and will soon be tried before the superior court at later date. The liquor was pur- chased in Gallup, New Mexico.
 Lootas states that he secured the liquor for his own use.
