COMPENSATION
CASES GO OVER
INTO NEXT WEEK
Kositzky Action and Suit
Brought to Test Act Set for
~ Today Are Deferred

Two supreme court actions involving
the workmen's compensation bureau
set for argument today have gone over
until next week. The more important
of these is brought by Fargo employ
or to test the constitutionality Of the
act. He attacks the Classification of all
forms Of employment except domestic
and agricultural service and work on
steam railways as hazardous" and
he also objects to the classification Of
Insurance premiums. He employs two
stenographers whom he must insure
through the state fund under the pro-
visions of the act. .-
The second action is one brought by
William Lemke on behalf of the work
mems compensation board against
Judge Hanley, whom the league attor-
ney seeks to prevent by writ Of pro-
hibition from hearing an application
made by state Auditor Kositzky for
an order giving him entry to the books
OF the compensation commission,
which has been denied him by mem
bers of the board. Judge Nuessle was
absent from the district when Kosit-
zky made his application, and he filed
it with Hanley, in Mandan, as the
next nearest district judge.
Lemke contends that inasmuch as
the judicial redistricting act gives the
fourth dictrict two judges, and since
Judge Coffey of jamestown, the second
jurist, was not absent from the district
when this action was brought, Judge
Hanley, who serves in the sixth dis
trict, across the river, is without jur-
diction.

CAN NOT BECOME A
CITIZEN If HE WAS
A STACKER IN WAR
Judge Hanley Refuses to Grant
Request to Man Who Refused
to Perform Duty

Slackers who obtained exemption
claiming that they owed allegiance to
a foreign country are finding that
their refusal to aid this government
when their assistance was needed have
placed them beyond the opportunities
Of ever becoming citizens Of this coun-
, try.
S. c. Kerberg Of st. Paul, naturali-
zation examiner for this district, was
in Bismarck yesterday, stopping here
en- route from Dickinson to his head
quarters. At Dickinson Judge Hanley,
sitting for Judge Crawford for the Sep
tember term of court heard all cases
Of naturalization for that term.
Siegfried Hoffman, all automobile
mechanic, attempted to obtain his cit
ienship papers. He had filed his dec
laration of intention but when making
out his QUESTIONABLE for the draft
claimed exemption on the grounds that
he was a citizen of foreign state,
in spite Of the fact that in his inten-
| ton declaration he agreed ito re-
nounce forever all allegiance and fl
deity to any foreign state"
When Judge Hanley learned of Hoff-
mans action during the war. he
promptly refused to grant the desired
papers, publicly rebuking Hoffman for
acting as a Stacker when his adopted
country needed his services.

CHINA PREFERS KAISERISM

New York, N. Y, Sept. 5.-Tai Chi
Quo, Chinese technical delegate to the
peace conference, replying to state
ment by Yosuke Natsouka, secretary
Of that country's peace delegation re-
garding possibilities Of Japan's early
withdrawal from Shantung province
said today:
German rights in Shantung orig
mated in an act Of Prussian aggres-
sion and piracy. Japan in driving Ger
many out of China prevented China
from participating in the joint Anglo
Japanese military operations against
the German forces in Tsingtao. Japan
just made it clear that she fought
against Germany in order to replace
Germany in Shantung.
Chinese Suffered
"Although China was prevented by
Japan from participating in the re-
covery of Kioa Chow, yet in the actual
military operations in the Shantung
llovlnce the Chinese population suffer
ed undue hardships and immense loss
as the result of acts of aggression and
violence on the part of Japanese SOL
diers.
"China would prefer to have Ger
many in Shantung instead of Japan
if that were the only alternative be-
cause Shantung is far removed from
Germany while in the hands of the
Japanese there is added danger to
China on account of Japan's already
strongly fortified possession in Korea
and southern Manchuria"

SCHOOL AFFAIRS
IN HIGH COURT;
THE MACS AGAIN
Miss Nelson Asks Supreme
Bench to Prevent Bolshevik
Rain on Education

Two important actions affecting the
office of the state superintendent Of
public instruction, Miss Minnie J. Mel
son, are set for argument in the sup
rene court next Tuesday and Wednes-
day. In the first of these Miss Mel
son applies to the supreme court for
writ prohibiting the state board of ad-
ministration from taking over the fix
ing of the course Of study in the public
Sc hOOls of the state, as the board re-
solved it should do at an early meet
ing of this body.
In the second Neil G. Macdonald.
the former state superintendent OF
public instruction, whom Miss Nelson
retired last fall by majority of more
than 5000 votes, is seeking, through
qua warranto proceedings, to establish
his prediction contention that Miss
Nelson. for more than % years active
in North Dakota educa tiOnal affairs,
is not qualified to fill the position to
which the people elected her by the
largest vote cast for state officer in
North Dakota.
Macdonald first refused to turn the
office over to Miss Nelson last Jan
liary until ousted by writ Of mand-
anus from the supreme court. Short
ly thereafter he began quo warranto
proceedings before Judge Nuessle in
district court, who threw the action
out of court on the grounds that the
statute under which the suit was
brought was not constitutional. 1t is
Macdonald's appeal from this ruling
that the supreme court will hear next
Tuesday.
