WHITE WOMAN MAKES
CASE AGAINST NEGRO

BOSTON, Dec. 31.-Positive indenti-
hcation of John Johnson, a West Vir-
glnif negro, as the man who induced
her through fear of death, to go from
Charleston, w. Va, to Catlettsburg,
Ky, was made by Edith Cooley, q
white woman, at today's hearing be-
fore Federal Commissioner Hayes on
tho question of returning Johnson to
West Virginia on an indictment charg-
ing violation of the Mann act. The
identification was considered impor-
tant, because the defense has denied
that johnson is the man named in the
Indictment.
During Mrs. G0dbey's recital OF her
life in Charleston and her alleged re-
lations with Johnson, the defense
brought in an alienist who observed
the witness closely from seat in
the jury box. This move was followed
By the state, which also called il a
medical specialist. to watch the We
nan during her testimony.
Mira. Cooley lold of her taking
poison on two occasions. At first she
laimed that Johson forced her to
drink poison, but later she denied this
and said that he had called three
doctors who had saved her life.
She testified that she had contribut-
ed $25 month to Johnson for the
support of his taxicab Under cross
examination, she admitted that he had
bought her a cot and other gifts,
but said they were bought with her
money.
Fear of Johnson, she asserted was
the reason why she did not complain
to the police when the negro attacked
her on one occasion with knife.
The last witness produced by the
government was Chief Deputy U. S.
Marshall John Campbell, of Charles
ton, who said he had often seen white
persons and negroes often riding in
the same coaches on trains between
Charleston and Catlettsburg. His
testimony was designed to strengthen
Mrs. Godbey's assertion that she and
Johnson had seats in the same car
on the train between those two points.
At the conclusion of the session the
defense was granted continuance
o. the hearing for week. 1t is :
peeted definite date for resumption
will then be set so as give the de-
fonse three weeks to prepare his case.
Il "a said many witnesses probably
will be brought here from West vir-
ginia.

The old way of tightening wheels

In many cases, it has even saved the

continue in session, and, as Represen-
tative Fitzgerald of New York, chair
man of the committee on appropria-
tons, remarked in the House yester-
day, when the matter of adjournment
was debated, 81 am still of the opin-
ion that the most important thing that
members of Congress can do is to stay
in Washington and attend to the pub
lie business After all, loosely crit
iczed, condemned and maligned as it
often is, in the final analysis, the Con-
gress of the United States is the safest
and most dependable friend of the
people Of the Republic.
At the suggestion and request of a
number of newspaper men of the dis
trict, shall present in weekly letter
during the remainder of this session of
the Congress, some Of the, more i'm
portant happenings in the Congress
and in Washington.
At the present time, the legislative
program for this session is badly tied
up, both in the House and the Senate,
with the Food Control bill and with
the new Revenue bill. The Food Con-
troll bill passed the House on June %,
with provisions authorizing the Presi-
dent to control the supply and distri-
button of fuel and food stuffs and to
prevent boarding and injurious spec
ulation. In the Senate Committee to
which the Bill was referred, an amend
ment was added, giving authority to
the President to also control the sup
ply, distribution and price of petrol
cum, aluminium, steel, iron, copper,
cotton, wool, sisal, lead, timber, lum-
Der, and their various products. With
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-07-19

this amendment injected into the bill,
senatorial calm and courtesy have
been badly blown up. The petroleum,
iron, steel, cotton and lumber inter
ests have arrayed their influences
against the bill, and no one today
knows definitely what the outcome
may be. Discussion incident to Food
Control legislation and the uncertain
ty as to what the law will finally be
and how it may be administered, have
already greatly depressed the mar
kets for cereals and other farm pro-
duets. The upshot of the present
condition of Food Control legislation
in the House and Senate seems now to
be, that the President will be author
lied to fix and guarantee reasonable
price for the wheat crop Of the pres
ent year. A condition under which the
farmers of the country may receive
but $1.25 and $3.50 per bushel for
their wheat at threshing time, and
under which this same wheat may be
sold by the food spectators next
spring or next summer for $3.50 and
$500 bushel, is intolerable, and the
most drastic and arbitrary legislation
is justifiable to prevent it. There is
now under consideration in the Sen
ate compromise on the Food Control
bill between the different factions,
providing for an amendment directing
the President to fix fair and just
price for the wheat and the corn crop
of the country for this year.
The new Revenue bill has been re-
ferred to the committee on finance on
account Of the amendments in the
Senate to the Food Control bill in ref
erence to alcoholic liquors. The big
fight in the House and Senate is yet
to come on this bill. A majority Of
the Senate members seem fearful to
levy a just proportion of the wars ex-
penses on large incomes and on the
huge profits that have been made by
many individuals and corporations di-
rectly from the necessities of war. The
general principle Of the bill, as recon-
mended by the Senate finance commit
tee few days ago will receive very
vigorous and very determined oppo-
sition in the House. 1t would seem it
is only fair and just that each one
should contribute to the burdens of
this war in proportion to what he is
reasonably able to contribute. Ger
tainly no citizen is justified in any way
in making large pecuniary profits out
of the war. The sooner many insati-
ably greedy individuals and large cor
porate interests are made to clearly
understand this, by legislation and
otherwise, the more easy it will be to
conduct the business of the present
war along lines of certain success.
Without administrative interference,
the majority Of the members Of the
House Of Representative will insist
on an Excess Profit tax at this time Of
at least sixty per cent.

Rev. Frederick Ring Made Many
Friends Here.

Rev. Frederick Ring, formerly a
prominent minister Of Chicago, who
has been in church work in that city
for 25 years, gave three lectures on
his visit to Minot, besides giving an
address at the Fourth of July celebra-
ton at the park. In the evening Of
July 4th he gave a lecture to the Sons
Of Norway in their hall, on Abraham
Lincoln, the Red Cross Movement and
of duty to our country and flag.
Sunday afternoon, July 18th, he
spoke to the Daughters of Norway at
the great picnic on the John j. Lee
place north of Minot. His subject was
Gamma Kolbjornsdatter og Slaget paa
Noderhov in 1716" In the evening he
gave lecture at the Bethania Luth-
eran church before a good sized aud
fence, who showed their appreciation
Of the lecture with large offering.
His subject was upon the Religious
and Political Development of Norway
in the Nineteenth Century. After the
meeting Rev. ]. Tonne, the pastor of
the church, thanked the speaker for
the lecture Mr.. Ring in all his lee
lures impressed upon the audience in
this time Of the war to show loyalty
to our president, Woodrow Wilson, our
great and good country and our flag Of
victory and freedom, the Star Span
gled Banner of America.
Mr. Ring has very pleasing per-
sonality and broad experience in the
clerical work. Altho more than 60
years of age, he is a most vigorous
and jovial gentleman and as a popular
speaker stands with the best. His vsiit
to Minot will certainly be remembered
with pleasure by those who met and
heard him. He stayed at the Waverly
hotel and Rev. Ring said that Proprie-
tor Reinhardt Reirson treated him
very kindly. Rev. Ring leaves today
for the eastern part Of the state,
where he has engagements for several
lectures both in Norwegian and Eng
lish. The first part of August he will
be back in Chicago. Since his wife
died last year he has made his home
with his daughter in one Of the SUI
burbs Of Chicago. His home address
is Rev. Frederick Ring, Box 315, Lib
ertyville, Ill.
