ARGUMENTS ON !,
,7 AMENDMENTS
BEFORE COURT
LANCER and stutsrnan Ap
90 pear to Press Cases to
Supreme Body.
(By Stan Correspondent)

Bismarck, Jan 14.-The arguments
in the case involving the validity of
the action of the state can.>sing
board in declaring the constitutional
amendments adopted, despite the fact
that five did not have a majority of
supreme court this morning. The case
was that of the state Of North Dakota
upon relation of W. e. Byerly and
Theo. Nelson VS.. state board of can
vassers and was upon an application
for writ of, certiorari. Attorney Gener-
al LANCER, appearing for respondents,
contended that it was purely a ques-
ton for the legislature and that,
therefore court had no jurisdiction.
w. H. Stutsman, Of Mandan, appear
ing for REALTORS, declared that it was
absolutely &, question for the courts
|. to- determine and he argued this. point
at some length. LANCER did not go
into. the question: Of. Jurisdiction to any
length declaring that it. was covered
fully in his brief.
In the opening arguments, LANCER
contended that the question of adopt
ing constitutional amendments was q
legislative matter from beginning to
end and that the courts were given
no authority to intervene. He said the
point was covered in his brief and he
would not argue it longer.
Justice . Robinson interrupted the
attorney general declaring that that
was the most important question to
determine. The first thing to decide,
he said, was the question Of jurisdic-
ton and that the only question in his
mind was whether. or not the action
of the legislature was final.
LANCER did not, continue the argu-
ment, on this point. Mr.. Stutsman de-
voted considerable time to a discus
sion of the Jurisdiction of the Ques-
ton. His contention was that from
beginning to end the question was for
the court to decide. State government,
he declared, is divided into three dis
tinct parts: Legislative, executive and
judicial. The legislature is given pow
er only to enact and repeal laws and
whenever it proposes to amend the
constitution it is acting under special
authority given by the constitution
and that therefore when it is proposed
to amend the constitution or ratify
amendments, it is purely performing
to the review Of the courts. The con-
stitution ,confers upon the courts all
judicial authority to construe and in
terpret all laws, he argued, and that
in this case 1t has absolute authority
to review the records in this case.
In his brief setting forth this con-
tention that the court has no 'juris-
in support Of this contention. 1--WE
desire to present to this honorable
body these several propositions deal
ing with the right of the petitioners
to- maintain this proceeding and
which go to the question Of the juris-
i dfction of this court with reference
to such proceeding instituted by the
! petitioners.
! 1T is our contention, first that the
applicants. upon allegations, Contained

Whether Russia will have present at

be decided at the next meeting pre-

be held tomorrow because of the
opening of the session of the French

All the delegations with the .excep-

employ their time in preparations for

son planned to engage in series OF
informal conferences with British and
French representatives.
The first question to como before
the actual peace conference will be
that of the proposed league of ma
tions, and it was made known today
that it had been planned for the con-
ference to devote twelve hours daily
to this work if necessary. until it is
on the way to completion. There
is some reason for believing that the

EXTENDED COAL FAMINE
 HERE IS NOT LIKELY
Although Supply Was Depleted at 5:3O D. III. Yesterday. There is Enough for the Demand EnrOute.

At 5:3O last evening, Pine Bluff was in the grip of coal famine. This does not mean. however. that local citizens need become hysterical over the matter The coal situation is dis similar to the gas situation in that the coal is on the way The famine resulted when the gas shut off, caus- ing an almost unprecedented con- sumption of coal, the supply of which, the coal distributors thought ample to cover any emergency.
 A representative of the Pine Bluff Delivery company stated last night that there were seven cars of coal in transit and that they were due to reach here sometime during the night. With the arrival of these cars, the "coal famine" will dissolve as mist before the sun.
 The coal problem was taken up by the Fuel administration and the railroads, and a right of way was given to the expected shipment There are for sure, cars on the way from the Illinois district and sev- eral other miscellaneous cars com ing, so there is no suffering from lack of coal. imminent.
 If the coal arrived last night, or ders will probably be filled today.
