Small Audience Heard
Lecture on Vital Subject

A small audience gathered in the
Congregational church Monday even
ing to listen to DR.. Oscar FRANKLIN
Davis of New Richmond, Wis, give
his recital of the new American play,
"Polygamy." No one was disappoln.-
ed in what was given. In his introduce
tory remarks he said that the data
for the play was secured by Ex-Sena-
tor Frank Cannon. Such bitter oppo-
sition was found in the Mormon HE
rarchy itself that it was with diff
Guilty that the play was given in New
York. 1t has not yet appeared as far
west as Chicago. AS the plot of the
play unrolled, the tremendous power
of the Mormon church could be clearly
seen. Few even of those who were in
attendance Monday evening were
aware beforehand of the deep hold
polygamy has in Mormondom and
fewer still believe that it was still be-
ing practiced. No one who witnessed
the recital of the play could help hav-
ing deepening horror of what this
blight would mean to our country.

guest at the Kindred hotel and left

Senate Republicans Contemplate
Fight on Wilson's Mexican Plans

Washington, March 25.-While ad-
ministration officials described the
military situation in Mexico as serene
tonight, the days developments in
Washington forecast political strug-
gle here next week with the admins
tration's Mexican policy as the storm
center.
President Wilson issued a warning
to the people not to be Influenced by
alarmist reports regarding the situa-
ton, which he said were being dis
seminated by sinister and unscrupu-
lous influences" and in the interests of
certain American owners of Mexican
property"
He reiterates that every effort
should be made to prevent the punt
tive operations against Villa from as
Stunning in the discussion the color Of
war.
AS he wrote, the president had be.
fore him the most reassuring advices
received from the border since the
American columns began their pursuit
Of Villa. They were sent by General
Funston, and satisfied army officials
that the Carranza government was do
ing all in its power to aid in the pur-
suit.
At the capital, senate Republicans
were called into conference by their
leader, Senator Gallinger, to discuss
the boarder situation. They will meet
again Monday, but it was admitted by
those present today that the sense of
the meeting was that steps should be
taken to compel the sending of addi-
tional troops to guard the border
states.
In effect, that would mean the call
ing out of the national guard, as al
most all the mobile regulars now are
on the border or in Mexico.
Several Republican senators assert
ed that the minority members endors-
ed the sending of the eXpeditionary
forces after Villa and wished only to
cooperate with President Wilson in
guarding the border states. They re-
pudiated any suggestion that they
were playing politics.

that Mrs. Anderson is a visitor in the
city, the club served light refreshments
in honor of her presence, and de-
lightful social hour was enjoyed.

Justice Fiske Denies
Stay in Bonding Act

Bismarck, March 27.-Chief Justice
Fiske today denied a stay asked by
Attorney Aubrey Lawrence of Fargo,
for the bonding companies seeking to
set aside the bonding act passed by
the last legislature. The federal dis
trict court will now be asked to order
the state to refrain from putting the
state bonding department in operation
until the United States supreme court
has passed upon the constitutionality
of the act creating it.
The last legislature passed a law
creating a state bonding department.,
to be under the supervision of the in
surance commissioner. Certain bonding
companies doing business in the state
started action in court in an attempt
to have the law declared unconstitu-
tional, lost in the state courts and
have appealed to the United States
supreme court. 1t will take about two
years before that tribunal can pass
upon the case.
In the meantime the law will be in
operation in North Dakota and Com
missioner Taylor has decided to put
it into effect at once. The legislature
failed to appropriate enough funds to
start it out with but after consul
tation with State Treasurer Steen, the
commissioner announced that the
treasurer will honor warrants for nee
essary supplies up to $1,000, enabling
the new department to begin business
right away. All township, village and
city officers can now be bonded by
the state upon application.
