Mothers Day at Dallas Success


 Last Sunday a great crowd gath cred at Dallas in honor of our dear mothers. A large number of people visited the cemetery and with gentle hands and kindest remembrances covered the graves of the departed mothers with beautiful flowers. Sev- eral talks were made and the highest lof tribute paid to these dear mothers. \ bountiful dinner was spread and all partook of the many good things prepared by the hands of the moth- CTS that have been spared to us. After dinner a splendid program was rendered by the Epworth League of Dallas and Nunlcy. The young peo- Die did nobly and are to be com- mended for the cheerful response to to the call of the program commit tee. Special mention should be made of the music. as it seems it |eould not have been better rendered or more appropriate. The papers written by ?. H. Clemmer on "The Red and White deserves special mention; also Mothers of the Bi. ble' by Miss Mabel Hughes. Both showed much careful preparation. The church was beautifully decor ated by the hands of leaguers. Let this inot be the last of such occa- sions, and let us remember that ev- cry day is Mothers day, and that whatever comes mother is now and always the truest friend one ever mad Elizabeth Titus.

J. Greenbaum Of Chicago, and his son,
Alfred, student at Phillips Exeter,

death came. Business houses with

4. n. KNIGHT TO
SERVE 5 YEARS IN
STATE PEN|TENT|ARY

Fargo, March Arthur NJ. knight
man Of many aliases and for four
years the most hunted fugitive from
justice in this country, Friday after
noon pleaded guilty before Judge
Charles rollock to the charge OF en-
bezzling $525 OF Red Men lodge funds,
and was sentenced to five years at
hard labor in the state penitentiary.
No Other information Filed
Outside the charges preferred by
the Red Men lodge, there wassno ad-
ditional information filed with States
Rttorney Fowler The charge OF, wife
desertion and non1 support, that was
expected to be filed against him, was
not made.
1t was about ) O'Clock that the pris-
Oner, who since Feb. ", 1916, has
been held in the Cass county Jail in
default of $500 bail bonds filed at
the preliminary hearing, stepped
from the Jail in the custody of Max
Richards and appeared before the
court He was represented by Attor-
ney T. H. McEnroe of the law firm Of
McEnroe & Wood of Fargo.
Prisoner Appeared Nervous.
When the prisoner entered the
courtroom he appeared nervous and
placed his hands behind his back,
twisting them during the proceedings.
His attorney stated at length what he
deemed sufficient seasons why the
court should exercise great leniency
in passing sentence. In substantance
he indicated that when knight left
Fargo he was heavily addicted to the
habit Of drinking and SO continued for
a long period of time thereafter, and
that while in Kentucky church people
got him interested in church matters
from which time Knights whole hab-
it's in life were changed.
Wanted to Be Confined for Life.
When Knight went into detail con-
corning his movements, he gave his
true name as John A. Mccormick,
stating that when he was returned to
Fargo he desired to be confined for
the balance of his life, believing that
there was no hope for him in the
future to regain any standing in the
community but that upon more con-
sideration he felt that a duty devolv-
ed upon him in the matter Of the care
Of his children which he ought to con-
slider and he hoped the court would
be as lenient as possible in fixing the
sentence in order that he could soon
er get to work for the benefit of
those who are dependent upon him..
Church Throws Arms Around Him.
knight declared that the church
had really thrown ''ts arms around
him; had caused him to quit drink
ing and given him a new vision con-
corning his duty to the community
and those with whom he came in con-
tact. He went into an elaborate dis
cussion of his aidms and purposes of
life, and especially spoke of the situa-
ton in Kentucky with reference to
the church. He dwelt on the fact
tn athe had gone to Rhode Island,
had worked up large business and
was entrusted with large amount
Of funds, which he had sacredly pro-
tected, and that no charge of wrong
doing in the latter state could ever
be placed against him. The court,
evidently, took with some misgivings
few of his statements and made
several inquiries concerning his acts
while in the state of Kentucky.

One of the most important options desired by the committee working in the interest of the proposed $12,0OO,- 00O sanitarium was procured when J. A. Tow -send, owner and proprietor of tE , hotel that bears his name, ana a large department store on Central avenue signed at the figures named by the Assessing Committee. Until then MT. Townsend had declined to acquiesce in the committees request. He received a rising vote of thanks. The committee announced that but three more options are needed, and when these are secured the promoters of the sanltarium will be notified Ex- perts will then come to Hot Springs to appraise the property, according to the options. If satisfactory titles % the property are obtained money will be deposited here to buy and active work on the sanitarium will be started It is hoped that this wlll be in prog ress no later than the latter part of March.

The supreme court sustained the va lidity of the Fort Smith jitney ordi. nance. me court held that the mu. nicipal corporation could demand exc cution of bonds by the Jltney operators for payment of any judgments for damages that might be rendered against them.
 The contention that the require ment of execution of bond for payment of judgments is a restriction the mt nicipality was not authorized to i'm. pose, it creating i'll effect a civil liabil ity, is without merit, the court said It further held that an ordinance regu lating jitneys is not class legislation, and that the Fort smith ordinance is not in violation of either the state or national constitutions.

crate in the extreme. The way lies through a country intensely hot during a great part of the year, and the cars used on the line are constructed after the most advantageous manner for catching and retaining all possible heat. Moreover, the fares are cheap and the way is patronized heavily by swarms of Asiatics, malodorous and neighborly.
 The trains, in pre-war days, had a way of leaving important stations be- tween three and six o'clock in the morning. The wayside stations were miserable shanties, where widest con fusion reigned Buying tickets at the small novels which housed the ticket offices meant the business of free for-all fight in the midst of jostling crew of excited Orientals. Moreover, one must go with the crowd on this line to the Persian border, because no first-class carriages are operated thereon. Among other drawbacks, one soon has the knowledge forced upon him that his fellow-passenger are verminous.
 The cars are dirty. They are old, uncomfortable, and ill-ventilated. The seats are narrow and covered with white canvas, the covering usually turned brown and yellow with accumu- lations of evidence from the hands and clothing of the railways patrons. The third-class cars resemble the Ameri- can box-car, only they are much small CT. Both the second-class and the third d-class cars are generally packed as tightly as space will permit
 Much of the scenery along the way is very beautiful. The way through the Araxes valley, wide at first and, farther on, narrowing between ridging mountains, lies in the beginning through an inviting country of vine ward and orchard. Farther toward the
