FACING
. CHARGE
+. OF ARSON

Mandan, N. D., April 25-As a di-
rect result of community scrap at
HaVelock, N. D., over the European
war, Barney Adams, aged 26, a Young
English farmer, must stand trial at the
next term Of the Hettinger county dis
trict court on the charge of arson.
Such is the claim of the defense at a
nearing Monday afternoon. Late
saturday night during the progress of
a pre- Easter celebration, the Charles
Knox poolhall was fired. Adams is
alleged to have poured gasoline on the
wall and touched a match to It. He
claims merely to have found a rear
shed ablaze.
The fire destroyed the poolhall. the
Peterson Mercantile company's store
and the Havelock postoffice. with a
loss estimated at $4,000, covered bv
$4,000 insurance. Adams Is one Of
a large family. very much pro- English.
while the majority of the residents of
the community are decidedly pro-
German. Bad blood has existed for a
year.

SOLUTION
OF TRAIN
BLOCKADE
City Commissioners Submit
Proposition To Northern
Pacific at st. Paul.
COMPANY TOBUILD SUBWAY
Municipality Would Grant
| Right To Block Eighth
Street at Times.

Northern Pacific officials look with
favor upon the proposition made to
them by a trio of Fargo city commits
sioners, and City Attorney Shure, at
st. Paul yesterday, relating to the
clearing of Broadway from the OBJ
struction Of passenger trains, the
amendment of the Fargo ordinance
permitting the blocking off Eighth
street for certain periods, the North
ern Pacific to build a subway, at it's
own expense, at the Tenth street cross
ing.
Members of the city commission,
Pres. H. F. Emery, Alex Stern and
Joseph Ames, and City Attorney
ing.
Submit Proposition.
They submitted their proposition to
George Slade, general manager of the
Northern Pacific, at st. Paul on Mon
proposition very carefully, and was
impressed with the advantages that
will accrue to both the city and to the
railroad, If the scheme is adopted.
At the present time, the long
passenger trains block a portion of
Broadway, at busy hours. For
instance, No. /, in the Late afternoon,
frequently blocks a half of Broad
way, while the engine blocks Eighth
street.
If the new plan is adopted, the city
commission would pass an ordinance
granting the railroad company the
right to block Eighth street fer GER
tain periods-probably not to exceed
fifteen minutes. -
~- ~ ,-za MhArtery, ~ a
The subway at Tenth street would
establish a new artery of communica-
ton between the districts that are now
divided by the railroad-there being
no crossing between Eighth street and
Thirteenth street.
If the railroad acquiesces in this
plan, the matter then will be submitted
to the city commission, and that body
will be asked to pass an ordinance that
, will permit carrying the agreement in
to operation.

The quiet revolution that has been
going on in the advertising business
of the United States without any noise
or commotion but with tremendous
and far-reaching results, was explain
ed last evening to the Commons club.
in one Of the most interesting address,
es of the season. b. V. Moore a MEM
ber of the National Vigilance commit
tee of the Associated Ad Clubs of the
World, gave the club a comprehensive
and enlightening account of the re-
markable change in sentiment in
favor of Truth in Advertising.
Mr.. Moore explained that the fight
now is to rid the business world of
unfair methods of advertising. The
unfair and untruthful advertising of
the mail order houses is one of the
principal points of attack. Local mer-
chants are now printing truthful ad-
vertising, in the majority Of cases, but
they have to compete with catalog
advertising that is not regulated, and
which, in many instances, has been
proved to be unfair and fraudulent.
Mr.. Moore paid a great tribute to
a former Fargoan, HI. j. Kenner, one
time advertising man on The Forum
and now secretary of the National
Vigilance committee. Kenner conceiv-
ed the idea of appealing to the recent
Iy former Federal Trade commission.
which was established for the express
purpose of regulating unfair competi-
ton.
The National Vigilance committee
has appealed to the Federal Trade
commission for decree that a false
statement contained in catalog ad-
vertisement, amounts to unfair compe-
tition. This was Kenner's idea, and If
the Federal commission makes that de-
cree it will sound the death knell of
unfair catalog advertising and will be
the greatest victory for the retail mer-
chant against the mail order house
that has ever been won.
1t was brought out last night that
the federal courts have taken a great
stride forward just within the past few
days, in their Interpretation of the laws
governing fraudulent advertising. This
was explained by Judge Amidon who
was at the meeting. Judge Amidon
stated that, by recent decision, hand
ed down by the circuit court OF this
lcircuit. 1t is now a crime to lie ahoui

Days Of Fraudulent
Advertising Numbered
Moore Tells Commons

Ia statement Of opinion, as well as to
lie about a statement of fact. That is,
any man who puts out advertising
through the mails, in which he makes
a statement of opinion that he knows
to be false, is criminally liable.
1t is something Of a coincidence that
the supreme court of the United States
yesterday made a decision along this
same line, which is another great VIC
tory for truthful advertising. The fol-
lowing dispatch from the Associated
Press explains the matter:
Washington April 25.-In defining
yesterday more clearly than ever be-
fore what constitutes dishonest ad-
vertising through the mails. the SUI
preme court held in effect that adver-
tisers, even though they give pur-
chase value received for their money,
are guilty of fraud if by exaggerated
advertising propaganda they have led
clients to expect more. Officials de-
clare the decision will pave the way
to scores of prosecutions and make
possible the enforcement of a much
more stringent federal supervision OF
mail advertising.
The opinion was announced by JUS
tice McKenna, reversing the district
court decision in southern Florida,
which ouashed an indictment against
officials of the New South Farm and
Home company. The Indictment
charged unlawful use Of the mails in
selling ten-acre farms. The Florida
court held that If the purchaser re-
ceived his moneys worth, exagger-
ated propaganda was not fraud. JUS
tice McKenna took the position that
1t was an offense If the article sold did
not serve the purpose represented, nc
matter what the value might be.
In discussing what constituted d
criminal offense under the statute
governing the use OF the mails, JUS
tice McKenna said
Here putting might not be within
it's meaning (of this, however, nc
opinion need be expressed) that is, the
mere exaggeration of the qualities
which the article has; but when {
proposed seller goes beyond that, as.
signs to the article qualities which i
does not possess, does not simpl.
magnify In opinion the advantage,
which it has but invests advantages
and falsely asserts their existence, h,
transcends the limits of putting dnC
