EIGHT TAKE THE OATH
Five From Fargo Judge
Bruce Talks on Uphold

Eight new lawyers were sworn In
as members of the North Dakota bar
at meeting of the supreme court at
the courthouse this morning shortly
after 10 o'clock.
Judges A. A. Bruce and L. e, Bird
zell Of the supreme court and Judge
A. T. Cole Of the Third judicial dis
trict sat as a court for the formalities,
the oath being administered by r. d.
Hoskins. clerk of the supreme court.
: OF the eight young men comprising
the class, five are from Fargo, the
class being composed of Melvin ID.

son, Phillip Elliot and Clair F. Brick
ner, all of Fargo. and Ole Ellesson.

ton and F. X. Kirsch, Warwick.
After the administering OF the oath
Judge Bruce delivered a splendid ad-
dress on the subject of upholding the
constitution of the state. In his talk
Judge Bruce said that any Judge OF
the supreme court who would delib-
erately8 decide any question contrary
to the provisions OF the constitution
was unworthy of the name and un-
worthy to hold the trust placed in
members of the supreme court.

the board OF education for some time.
The members OF the board have real
lied that some provision has to be
made for a rapidly growing town.
Though one large new building was
completed and opened last fall-the
Horace Mann building-and the
Agassiz building has been completed
only few years, the schools are al
ready well filled.
One thing that the board realized
was, that sites had to be bought while
the property was at a fair price.
There has been a vast amount of
building on the south side of the city,
many new homes going up in Hunt
ington's, South Park and Belmont
Park additions during the past sum-
mer as well as in the vicinity OF the
new Horace Mann building and the In
dications are that school buildings will
be required in that part OF the south
side within the next few years.
However. it is probable that the first
new building to be erected, after the
construction Of a new high school
building to take the place of the one
recently burned, win be in Block As
OF Roberts Second. This site is just
two blocks from the present Longfal-
low building, which is antiquated and
has practically outlived its usefulness.
A new building win be needed there
first In the opinion Of board mem
bers, as it lis located in a quite thiclly
settled part of the city.

on Arguments in Federal
Court Last Saturday

e. A. Wilson, former president of the
defunct North Dakota Improvement
Co., will get a new trial, Judge Page
Morris of Duluth, sitting in the u. S.
district court here today, granting a
new trial as the result Of arguments
made here last Saturday.
Mr.. Wilson was found guilty by a
jury in the federal court here last
November of having used the United
States mails in the promotion Of a
scheme to defraud in connection with
the business of the company of which
he was president.
In the arguments presented last
Saturday, counsel for the defendant
maintained that the court erred in its
instructions to the jury as one of the
grounds on which a new trial was
wanted.
