Scope of ''Slave" Law
". Fixed by Decision

Washington, Jan. 16.-The federal
white slave law was construed by the
supreme court yesterday to prohibit
interstate transportation of women
for any immoral purposes, including
private escapades as well as CONNER
cialized vice.
In three test cases the court in a
divided opinion affirmed convictions
of F. Drew Caminette and Maury I.
Diggs of Sacramento, California and
L. T. Hayes of Alva, Oklahoma. Their
imprisonment sentences and fines will
become effective within thirty days.
The court was divided to 8 in
broadly interpreting the law, enacted
in 1910. Chief Justice White and
Justices McKenna and Clarke in
minority opinion held that congress
intended to have the law apply only
to actual traffic in women and not
to personal immoralities. Justice Me-
Reynolds who was attorney general
during the prosecution Of Caminetti
and Diggs took no part in the cases.
The majority opinion given by JUS
tice Day held that while congress
may have intended the law to pro-
hibit only traffic in women for
pecuniary gain, it's plain terms in
clude interdiction of their transpor-
tation "for any other immoral pur-
pose."

BREACH OF PROMISE CASE WITH
PECULIAR HISTORY TRIED
IN DISTRICT COURT
Jury Deliberate Is Hours-GiveG
Girl, Who Asked $4,000, $l,5OO-
w. w. Corbett Acquitted

District court is still in session and
has disposed Of several important
cases this past week. The case Of
John w. Robertson vs. Otto and Al
bert Sherer which was on trial Last
Wednesday resulted in the first dis
agreement of the term. 1t was .
case where suit was brought to ~
cover for personal injury received
by IN employee Of the defendants
while handling . horse. The parties
reside at Wildrose.
The case Of Anna Kinsella vs. Paul
Vining which has occupied several
days of the courts time the past
week, was one Of the most interesting
ever tried in the local court on &C.
count of its peculiar surroundings:
Anna Kinsella sued the defendant,
Vining, for damages for breach q
promise amounting to $1O,0O0r @6,ooo
actual damages and 5000 exemplary
or punitive. The plaintiff resides in
the vicinity of Tioga and the defen-
dant formerly resided, there. TAe
plaintiff and defendant were the
only witnesses in the case but q la1ga:
number of documents in the nature.
of contracts were offered in evidence.
From the testimony it appears that
since 1910 plaintiff and defendant
have been keeping company in the
role of lovers. Plaintiff claimed that.
Vining had on sundry occasions de-
clared his love and promised to mar
ry her. The ultimate fulfllment Of
this promise was the subject of sew
eral written and signed agreements
between them. The plaintiff swore
that Vining was the father of the
four year old child that accompanied
her in the court room.
The defendant admitted his prom
ises to marry Miss Kinsella but claim
ed he was prevented from doing 20
because he could not fulfill certain
conditions that were made. He also
claimed that by the terms of a-set-
tlement made in 1912 his obligations
had been cancelled. The jury, after
remaining out about sixteen hours,
awarded the plaintiff damages in the,
sum of $500.
E. b. Goss, former supreme couEE
justice, of Minot, and T. M. Cooney'
of Williston were attorneys for the
plaintiff. VIM. G.. Owens Of this city
and Earl Walter of Stanley, appeared
for the defendant.
Corbett Acquitted
w. w. Corbett of Buford, charged:
by the state with shooting one John
Renville on November %, 1915, was
tried this week and acquitted. Mr.
Corbett's attorneys defended him on
the grounds of self defence, witnesses
testifying that the Renvilkes had made
serious threats against the life Of
Corbett. Renville, who was wound
ed in the abdomen, died at a local
hospital last month.

Mr.. Lyon states that his trip was

pearance will not be neglected. The
building when erected will rank as one
of the finest OF its kind in the North

advice whether to go further or drop
the entire matter.
I laid before them Chairman Hen

WOMtN'S SUFFRAGE BILL
PASSES HOUSE, ,FRA|ER'S
NAME WILL Make It LAM

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 16.-The lob
by of women who have been sticking
close to their work since the two con-
current resolutions to give suffrage
to the women of North Dakota were
introduced and passed the senate,
were rejoicing greatly this afternoon
when by a vote of 88 to 10 the house
concurred in the resolutions.
The gallery of the house was filled
with women, many Of whom have
eral years, and the announcement Of
the result Of the roll calls was greeted
by the waving Of yellow and black
pennants and enthusiastic applause.
Taking the Joy Out
But in the midst of all the pleasant
roars there is always some one to hit
the wrong chord, and so it was here.
Nov look out for referendum on
Bill No. H." said voice heard
amidst the jubilation.
"What about referendum? Hasn't
the bill been passed by both houses,
and isn't Governor Frazier pledged
to sign the measure tomorrow? 1t
is all fixed, and we are to have a real
celebration ceremony at the signing"
Easy to Block
"Ah yes, an deven so," said the cruel
disillusionist. Nevertheless, beware
Of referendum. Don't you know
that under the present constitution,
and even more so under the proposed
league constitution, you are in danger
Of having to fight the battle all over
again at the polls? You know all
that is required is to get a petition
signed by 10 per cent Of the electors
in majority of the counties and then
it will have to be voted on"
"Oh, my, isn't that dreadful ?" said
one fair lobbyist.
Sweeping Victory
However, "votes for women" had a
sweeping victory in the house as in
the senate, the limited franchise
measure passing by vote of SO to
10, and the concurrent resolution for
the amendment to be ratified at an
other session. and then go to the
electorate had vote of 80 to 20. No
fight developed on the floor as had
been anticipated by the delegations
from the western part Of the state
which was reported to be strongly
opposed to both measures.
The limited suffrage measure now
goes to the governor for his sigma
ture 1t grants women the right to
vote on presidential electors, county
surveyors, county constables and for
all officers of cities, villages and
towns, except police magistrates and
city justices of the peace, upon all
questions, or appropriations, submit
ted to the electors by township Off
GERS, and unless the referendum is
demanded, this law will become effec-
tive July 1.

SPECIAL MESSAGE
FROM GOV. Frazier
LAYS MATTER OF REVISED CON-
STITUTION BEFORE ASSEM-
BLY-ARGUES FOR 1T

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 16-Governol
Lynn J. Frazier, in a special message
before a joint session Of the North
Dakota legislature today, urged the
passage of the proposed new consti-
tuition for the state. He character
lied the measure as the most impor-
tant to come before the present ses-
sion of the legislature. The joint
session met shortly before o'clock.
Mr.. Frazier's complete message fol-
lows:
"Gentlemen Of the senate and house
of representatives:
II wish to call your attention to the
concurrent resolution which has been
introduced in the house, known as
House Bill No. A, which, in my
opinion, is the most important meas
ure that will come before this ses-
sion. This resolution has for its OBJ
ject the submission to the people of
q new constitution for our state for
their approval or rejection at spec
ial election next June.
"This constitution is practically our
old constitution with few additions
of progressive measures, which be-
lieve will work for the betterment Of
the state. The most important new
features are found in Sections "a, 169
and 172.
"These sections are as follows:
Privileges of State
"Section "a: "The right of the
state, or any political subdivision
thereof, to engage in any occupa-
ton or business for public purposes
shall not be denied or prohibited
"Section 169: The state may, to
meet casual deficits or failure in the
revenue or in any case of extraordin-
ary emergencies, contract debts, but
gate gate exceed the sum of $500, ,o06 ex-
elusive of what may be the debt Of
North Dakota at the time of the adop.
ton of this constitution. Every such
debt shall be authorized by law for
certain purposes to be definitely mem

League Leaders Not
Friendly To Justice

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 16.-The in
dependence of action which Associate
Justice Robinson has evidenced, both
as jurist and citizen, has thrown
the camp of the league leaders into
confusion and suggestions are being
made to discount what he had said
and Is saying, or to discountenance
him as mouth-piece of the league,
notwithstanding that he led the ticket
Of the Nonpartisans last November.
The latest suggestion aimed at
the venerable justice is to put through
the present legislature a measure to
declare justices Of the supreme court
shall be retired automatically at the
age of Is with half pay for the re-
mainder of the term.
The suggestion comes from one who
has the confidence Of the league
leaders and in fact has been strongly
in the lime light Of the league propa-
ganda very recently.
1t can be taken for granted that
Justice Robinson will not take kind
~ to the suggestion as it has been
his boast recently that he is as young
as most Of the men who are making
the laws who have ten, or score of
years less in their life's calendar.
