Usher L. Burdick came, was seen,
and conquered. ......"
The welcome that was rendered the
WilliSton candidate yesterday after
noon and evening in Fargo was one
of the most genuine political demon
strations in the history of the gate
way city. ..r..
Following his address last evening
hundreds crowded around to give Bur-
dick a hearty hand clasp and express
words of good cheer and appreciation.
The addresses last evening at the
Gardner balcony were preceded by a
band concert given by the fine Will
liston band, which was one of the fin
est musical organizations heard in
Fargo in years. The concert pleased
the large crowd that was gathering
Robert M. Pollock well known local
Progressive Republican, presided and
introduced the speakers. j. e. Davis
of Goodrich, was the first speaker, and
gave a short talk on the issues of the
campaign.
Thousands of Fargoans turned out
last night, packed the street between
the Gardner hotel and the postoffice
and heard with marked enthusiasm
the splendid address which Usher l..
Burdick delivered on the issues of the
campaign.
Burdick made a big hit with the
crowd. AS the big, six-foot Williston
farmer stepped on the platform along
side Robert M. Pollock spontaneous
roar of applause burst forth and from
that moment until he closed his dis
cussion, the throng listened with keen
interest and close attention.
There was time," said Mr.. Bur-
dick, when the metropolis of the terri
tory that is now North Dakota was a
fewmileSfrom Williston. Since thattime
Fargo has taken the metropolis of the
state away from the slope country and
it has now become the gateway to the
great northwest. But the. time is COM
ing when the Missouri river will be
made the highway for q vast river
traffic. and when that time comes we
are going to take the metropolis Of the
state back to Williston."
There is more interest in the pres
ent campaign than in any campaign
in the history of the state" said Mr..
Burdick. Il am glad Of this. It is
a big thing for North Dakota. When
the people take keen interest in their
public affairs it means that there will
be better government. There is no
power so vital as an aroused public
opinion"
A Clean Campaign.
Mr.. Burdick then proceeded to dis
cuss the other candidates. He stated
his opinion that there should be no
misrepresentation, no calumnies and
no slanders. The people want the best
men they can get to run, and the way
to get good men Is to keep slanderous
personalities out of the campaigns.
He said that he knew Colonel frame
well, had worked with him in the halls
of the state legislature and had known
him personally for a long time.
81 have been taking up Mr.. FRAMES
platform and discussing it, in the ear
lier part of this campaign" said Mr..
Burdick, But since Colonel Frame
has been called to the colors
for active service in the army, and is
therefore no longer able to take an
active part in this campaign, / have
discontinued all criticisms OF his plat
form.
Il would much rather have the priyi-
lege Of leading North Dakota regi-
rnent to the defense Of this nation
said Mr. Burdick, than to become the

No Answer from
Berlin Expected
Germany Said to Look Upon
Sub Controversy as En-
tirely Closed.

A reply by the imperial government to
President Wilson's latest note to Ger
many is extremely unlikely in the opln-
ion Of Officials of the State Department
and the German Embassy.
So far as the German Embassy is con-
cerned the controversy as to methods of
submarine warfare is now a closed book.
The embassy is said to believe that Pres
ident Wilson's note was not calculated
to affect the situation one way or an
other, but was primarily intended for
placing the President on record before the
American people.
1t is also believed by embassy officials
that the Lusitania case will be closed at
once; for the State Department, in
answer to the German communication OF
February Is, 1915, said the Lusitania set
tlement proposed by Germany would be
agreed to by the United States as soon
as the United States was satisfied with
Germany's pledges for the future re-
garding submarine warfare; and Secre-
tary Lansing now has said that he is
satisfied.

Enemy Aeros Could Destroy
City Over Night, Says Peary
Admiral Tells Chamber of Commerce Tramp

The startling assertion that the Ma

seroplanes and that recent events have
revealed a way by which Washington
might be laid in waste was made last
night before the Chamber of Commerce
by Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary..

man OF the National Aerial Coast Patrol
Commission, made the assertion as a
preface to a plea for a hydro-aeroplane
which he hopes will be the nucleus for

Mrs. Amy ArCher-Gillisan today during a
third-degree procedure by Capt. Robert
T. Hurley, of the State police, who was
chiefly instrumental in developing the
case against the woman which resulted
in her arrest last night, charging the
murder Of Franklin R. Andrews, and in.
ferentially her guilt of more than twenty

inmates of her home for aged persons in
Windsor, Conn, during the last five years.
Mrs. Gilligan. whose first husband, WILL

not guilty was entered for her.
By noon she had engaged as counsel
Benedict N. Holden. a successful GRIM

money; that Mrs. Gilligan. as proprietress
of the old folks home, took $1,000 or as

BY the Sun News Service.

Dover, N. j., May s.-Five men were
killed and approximately thirty-fve in
jured, many OF them seriously, in a dou-
bic explosion at the war munitions plant
of the Atlas Powder Company, near
Landing. shortly before l o'clock this aft
ernoon. Windows in Lake Hopatcong,
summer hotels, and in towns for miles
around. were shattered. The shock was
felt throughout Northern Jersey.
At practically the same instant two
dynamite mixing houses were blown to
atoms. 1t is not known which exploded
first. but that the shock Of the first in
stantly set on the explosives in the other
building is certain, though the two build
ings were a considerable distance apart.
Besides the two mixing houses a storage
house for nitro-glycerin was destroyed.
The explosion shook the surrounding
country with the force Of an earthquake,
rocking houses on their foundations,
breaking down ceilings and shatterins
windows. There is not a single whole
window within three miles of the scene of
the explosion, and a number of the older
houses nearly collapsed.
Most Of the injured were reported to
have been cut by flying glass or bruised
by the falling of ceilings in other build
ings.
The Landing plant of the Atlas Powder
Company is one of the company's four
high explosive plants, which are located
in as many States, and covers about 600

Paris, May s-The latest offensive of
the crown prince against Verdun has
failed. according to the French official
statement issued late tonight.
This attack, one Of the most desperate
and powerful yet made, began on Sunday
simultaneously on both sides of the
Meuse, then shifted to and centralized
on the west. The great German aim was
to smash the Hill 3O4-Deadman Hill line
The assault here eliminated in the ad-
vance on Monday night and Tuesday
morning of three tremendous bodies OF
German infantry. One was thrown
against the trenches northeast OF Hill
So4; the second against the French posi-
tions on Hill 2S7, about a mile and a half
10 the west, and the third against the
woods Of Avocourt, a mile further to the
southwest. The attack on Hill 3O4 was
made at ; o'clock this morning, the
others followed in quick succession, and
all three. it is officially reported, were
crushed by the French artillery fire, and
TO the Germans resulted only in very Sc
rious losses.
Machine Guns CrumpIe Attack
The French ascribe their SUCCESS in
breaking down the German assaults to
the splendid work done by machine guns
and automobile rifles in the front-Ifne
trenches. The German artillery bonn
bardments are said to have been over
whelning, but the French held out their
underground shelters and then deci-
mated the approaching infantry before
the attack was organized.
In Champagne our artillery sheIled
German trenches and batteries to the
north Of Ynle Sur Tourbe as we'll as their
lines Of communication in the region OF
Somme Py. On the left of the Meuse
the bombardment was less violent dur
ing the day. An attempted attack by
the Germans against a trench west Of
Hill No. 0O4 was stopped short by our
barrage fire and the enemy was not able
to debouch.
To the right of the Meuse and in the
Woevre there was intermittent artillery
fighting.

EI Paso. May s-The obregon-Scott
conference was Unexpectedly renewed at
the suggestion Of Mexican Minister Of
War Obregon this evening in an effort
to prevent immediate hostiIities between
the military forces OF the Csrranza gov
ernment and the United States.
The conferees were together three hours
and thirty minutes. At the conclusion OF
the meeting Gen Scott announced there
would probably be another meeting to-
morrow. To counteract the false report
that Mondays meeting ended with ex-
pressions of bitterness on both sides and
an ultmatum from obregon, Gen. Scott
invited the Mexican Official to remain for
dinner at the private car. The invitation
was accepted.
Notwithstanding this new move, indi-
cative Of peace, an authoritative state
ment was obtained that the punitive ex-
pedition and such additional forces as
may be required will remain in Northern
Mexico until outrages have been avenged
and order is restored.
The orders received by Gen. Funston
from Secretary Baker following the Cab
met meeting today indicated that the sd-
