L LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS
ENFORCEMENT SPEAKERS

In spite of the exceeding moisture
of the weather Sunday afternoon and
evening, large audience assembled
at the Normal auditorium to greet the
Enforcement League speakers for the
big meeting which has been scheduled
for some time as a part of the 1856
Enforcement League campaign which.
covers a large number of circuits and
includes $50 North Dakota towns and
cities. The speakers were Rev. c. w.
Finwall, formerly of Fargo, but more
recently of Chicago, who has been Sc
cured as an able assistant for Mr..
Watkins in his enforcement work. His
address dealt most largely with the
national movement for publication,
speaking of the early consideration by
congress of the Hobson amendment,
and discussing enthusiastically the
work of the National Anti Saloon
League, as well as touching upon the
state work connected with it. He was
followed by Rev. F. L. Watkins, sup
erintendent of the North Dakota En-
forcement League, who gave a clear,
concise, interesting and convincing
analysis Of the work which the En-
forcement League has done during the
five or six years of it's existence, and
then outlining the work which is be.
ing planned for the coming year. Mr..
Watkins is very calm and quiet in his
style Of delivery, but wonderfully con.
vincing at the same time, and it is safe
to say that his hearers had their eyes
opened in many instances as they lis.
tened to his recital Of work done,
work planned and work needed. The
work Of the league for the coming year
is clearly divided in four parts, defin.
itely arranged for effective service,
but as it has been given in this paper
before it is unnecessary again to out
line it. Mr.. Watkins haid high tribute
to the work Of the w. c. T. U. and
those who by their moral and financial
support have made the work Of the
Enforcement League possible.
The program was interspersed with
good music which was duly appreclat-
ed by all.

Cakes Man Tried Poison

Cakes, Nov. 5.-The excessive use
of whiskey on Monday is all that saw
ed the life of Charley Shortall from
the poison route.
The young man had become obsess-
ed with the idea that he wanted to
marry a young woman living near the
city. He loaded up with the stuff that
cheers-as well as loading his pocket
with strychnine-in case the young
woman failed to come through and
marry. He was taken to the home in
an automobile, and when his suit was
spurned and he was ordered away, he
scared the household, and in the midst
of it took the bottle from his pocket
and swallowed enough grains of
strychnine to kill two men. "
The authorities in Cakes were ap-
prised of the affair and Deputy Sher-
if Singleton left for there with John
ME Barnes and brought the fellow to
Cakes. Shortal was rather stiff when
he was landed at Bartlett's Cafe. DR..
Brastad was called and had his stom-
ach pumped out. The fellow was in
bad shape Tuesday, but yesterday was
out in charge Of an officer.
The young man while under the In
fuence of liquor had made the threat
that he would take his life-but the
influence Of the liquor counteracted
the effects Of the poison.

Newman of the Georgia federal dis
trict court, in denying Leo M. Franks
application for write of habeas cor
pus.
This decision by the federal Su-
preme court is taken here to mean
that Frank has exhausted all his rem

courts and that his only hope to es-
cape the death sentence lies in an
appeal for clemency to the Georgia

ton of Georgia.
The mandate of the United States

within the next few days, and, after
its arrival in Atlanta, the Judge of
