JUDGE COFFEY
GIVES MAXIMUM
TO F|NLAYS0N
Bismarck Man Held for Contempt
of Court, Second 0ffense,
Draws Term of 2 Years
OUT ON $4,000 BAIL;
Is PERFECTING APPEAL

Frank FinlaysOn. characterized by
the states attorney as "the Oldest and
most persistent blindpigger in the
city," was sentenced by Judge COffey
of Jamestown, this morning to two
years in the state penitentiary for
contempt of court.
At liberty on $1,000 bail, with W. f.
Bryan and William DOhn as his bonds
men, Finlayson, through his attorney,
is today perfecting an appeal to the
state supreme court.
SECOND OFFENSE FOR CONTEMPT
Finlayson was before the court on
April 10. 1911, for his first otfense at
contempt of court and was given a
light sentence. In May 1911. he was
sentenced to a fine and 80 days for
keeping and maintaining common
nuisance. He was arrested in the
raid made by the attorney general the
first Of the year and filed an affidavit
of prejudice against Judge Nuessle.
This case will be heard at Steele, Kid
der county, some time in May.
GIVEN MAXIMUM SENTENCE
The maximum sentence for contempt
Of court is two years and the mini
mum one wear. Judge Coffey imposed
the full penalty.
Finlayson is married man with a
large family living in Bismarck.
His constant flirtations with the pro-
hibition laws has made him a familiar
figure in both the justice Of the peace
and the district courts.

RECRUITS FOR

INCREASING QUOTAS

Washington, April 12-Army de-

ordered to resume recruiting nation.
al guard organization to the peace
strength of the regular army. 1O0
men to the company. Many of the
companies now have as low as 65
men.
A war department statement was
issued today to make plain that the
national guard recruiting has not
been discontinued A
Such an impression is not cor
rect" the statement says, "and the
department commanders have been
informed that national guard Organi-
cations may be recruited to the max
imum peace strength Of the regular
army"
For War Only.
Recruiting of the guard to war
strength will not be undertaken un-
til congress has authorized the emer-
gency enlistment contract to bear
curing the war. Otherwise, men
would be required to obligate them
selves to six years service in the
guard irrespective Of the present
emergency. 1t is felt that this would
be unfair to men who wish to vOlun-
teer for the war only.
May Delay Element.
No decision has yet been announc-
ed as to the possibility that the
states may increase their number of
units to the full quota authorized by
the National Defense Act. If every
state took that step, II full divisions
of national guardsmen would be
available with peace strength of
100000, enlisted men and war
strength of approximately $4,000.
Many additional officers would be re-
quired, however. to organize new
units and that NAV result in delay
ing this element of mobilization.
With the approval of Attorney
General Gregory, Chairman, Webb of
the house judiciary committee will in
troduce tomorrow a bill to allow the
allied governments to recruit their
citizens in the United States. Chair
man Culbertson of the senate judici-
ary committee will introduce the
same bill.
A total of 1885 men already have
been enrolled in the regular army.
who will come under such a status
This number of recruits was expected
during the first ten days after the
passage of the war resolution.

London, April 12-Reports from a
Swiss source have been received in
Rome that the Bulgarian minister at
Berne has made overtures to the

conclusion of separate peace, says
the Exchange Telegraph company's

Similar advices regarding Bulgaria

semi-ofiicial Bulgarian delegates are
in Switzerland endeavoring to arrive

Lexington Anniversary Near.
April 10 is the anniversary of the
Battle of Lexington and the firing of
the shot which was heard round the
world. 1t has been suggested that
this date be set for the patriotic rally
in Bismarck.
Minot and other points in the state
will hold mass meetings at the same
time. .s s".
Such date would be appropriate
as it will be based on the moderni-

It is believed that the patriotic
rally will instill enthusiasm in the

MORE VIGOROUS
Entire Attention Devoted to Sect.
or Near vilmy Ridge, Key
to Situation
TEUToNs TRY TO
DRIVE HAIG OUT
General Nivelle's Troops in a
Main Drive Net Considerable
Gain in Territory

Despite unfavorable weather, tho
British continued to deliver telling
strokes against the German line
from Lens to st. Quentin
Apparently devoting most of their
attention to the sector near Vimy
ridge, the key position on the north.
ern end of the front, which they have
captured, the British today drove
against two important positions
north of the ridge and captured
them. This blow was just southwest
Of Lens, and enabled the British to
advance their lines on both sides Of
the Souchez river. All German at
tempt to regain ground on the ridge
itself have been foiled. The Germans
tried twice last night to drive Gen
eral Haig's troops from the positions
they had established on the northern
end of the ridge, but the machine
guns broke up the assault with
heavy German losses.
Progress Reported.
Further south progress for the
British below the river Scarpe
where Monchy lie Preux was captur'
ed yesterday, is reported.
Much Importance is attached tt
the resumption by. the French of the
general attack. Seemingly they arc
giving the Germans, southwest Of
Laon, all they can attend to prevent
ing any reinforcement of this sec
tor of the line, menaced by the Brit
ished offensive.
The main drive by General Nivel-
les forces was launched against the
312-mile front from COuchy la Vile
to Quincy-Baase. A considerable gain
of ground was effected here, taking
the French to the southwestern edge
of the upper Coucy forest.
Dent Strengthened Out
There is every evidence that this
attack was carefully prepared by ex-
tensive artillery fire and there would
be little surprise if it developed into
a continuous offensive.
The dent in the French line caused
by the German attack in the Cham
pagne some time ago has now been
completely Strengthened out. Paris
reports the position re-established
intact by means of sharp attack de-
livered east of Sapigunel.
Advices from Rio Janeiro indicate
the expectation there that Brazil will
rest for the present on the severance
of diplomatic relations with Ger
many.
Capture Positions.
The British early this morning cap
tured two important positions in the
German line north of the Vimy ridge.
and are now astride at .SOuchez, ac-
cording to an official statement issued
by the war Office A number of pris-
oners were taken. The weather con-
ditions continue wet and stormy.
Two German counter attacks on
Vimy ridge were beaten off last night
with heavy losses to the attackers.
Elected From Trenches.
In an attack last night on the new
front below St. Quentin, Coucy, and
Quincy-Basse, the French drove back
the Germans to the southwestern
edge of the upper Coucy forest, cap
turing several important positions,
the war Office announces. In the
Champagne. the Germans were eject;
ed from trenches.

this morning, Reuters correspondent
telegraphs from the front. A hill
southeast of Wancourt also was cap
tured.
