Tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock
Attorney Geo. A. Bangs will open ar

week. Mr.. McInerney, the East Grand

charged with crime of Bookkeeping
and conspiracy to commit the drime
Of b~Qotlegging in violation Of the laws
of the state of North Dakota.
When Mr.. Bangs has finished his
argument, Assistant Attorney General
H. A. Bronson will present his views
in behalf of the state and will asoppose
the motion to quash the indictment
against the defendants. The ground
upon which these arguments will be
based is not yet known outside the
office of the states legal department.
According to the laws, the defend

Mr.. Bangs holds that all the steps
taken in the proceedings against his
clients have been wrongful from the
minute when the papers and
records of the defendants were seized
nearly six months ago. The, prelim-
mary hearing which followed the
raid. is also held to be merely pre-

In connection with the negotiations
relating to the proposed connection
which is sought to be made between
Lne two telephone companies doing
business in the city the following ex,,
planatory statement s.has been rs
man OF the council committee having
the matter in charge and Geo. A.
Bangs. city attorney:
Our attention has been called to a
news article in our morning issue
of January 8, last. pertaining to ne.
gotiations of the Physical Connection
Committee. with the two telephone
spective systems in this city, which
article states that the Tri State COM
pany has refused to meet the North,
Western company in certain agree
ments and has thus blocked further
action on the part of the telephone
committee.
I'm order that the public may have
q proper understanding Of the sit
uation and that both telephone COM
panies' may appear in the proper
light, it is only fair to state hat ne
gotiations have not been broken off
by either the Tri State or North
Western company; that the. North
Western company has agreed to a
physical connection for long distance
messages unQer certain conditions,
that the Tri State company has also
agreed to this connection under cer-
tain conditions n the telephone
committee is hopeful that the condi-
,tions imposed by each company will
be agreed toby the other and arr
rangements completed for. the long
distance physical connection. So far
neither telephone company has
agreed to make the physical connec-
ton for an Interchange of local calls.
I'VE feel that the same publicity
should be given this statement. as the
article to which we refer so that the
public may know that the negotia-
tons are still under way and that the
committee feel that considerable pro-
gross has been made. $ ss..l.tsS u eSs,
