new GRAIN
DEPARTMENT
PROVIDED FOR
New Grain Bill Would Take
Supervision From Rail
way Commission.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 27.-Senator
browns amended grain grading bill,
establishing the Office of state in
spector Of grades, weights and meas
ures as entirely distinct from the
railway commission, which heretofore
has had supervision over this division,
and providing for the licensing of
public warehouses, grain buyers, ETC.,
through the new department, instead
Of by the railway commission, comes
up In the house this afternoon for
third reading and final passage. 1t
was considered in committee of the
whole Saturday afternoon. and was
unanimously recommended to pass.
Senator Drown is the father OF
North Dakota's original grain grading
act, probably the most constructive
piece Of legislation adopted by the
last general assembly. His amend
ments to the original bill smerely
carry out ideas outlined by DR.. E. +.
Ladd. state Inspector. and James "A,
McGovern, his chief deputy, both OF
whom were irked by the necessity OF
being responsible to the state railway
commission, a feature Of the original
bill which they endeavored to have
eliminated during the special session
of 1913. DR.. Ladd and Deputy Nc.
Govern also advocated the linking UP
with the grain grading department OF
a state bureau of. weights and meas
ures, which would have authority to
establish standard weights and meas
ures to enforce these standards. All
of these things are done in Senator
browns amended bill, which promises
to be the first really important bit OF
legislation completed by the present
assembly.

COURT DECIDES WAR
 LEGALLY AT AN END

Louisville, Ky, April 3.-In line with an informal statement from the bench on March 24, Federal Judge Walter Evans in an opinion today, handed down decision finding that the war in Europe legally is at an end and that a plea for new trial on conviction of violating var time military regulations after the armis- tice was signed has standing in court.
 Judge Evans based his decision upon an address by President Wilson before both houses of congress in joint ses- sion November Il, 1918, in which he said. referring to the defeat of Ger many, "The war thus comes to an end" The president, said the court, had authority to make the pronounce ment under that section of the Con- stitution, which provides that he may from time to time go before con- gress and give it information as to the state of the Union.
 The opinion was rendered in the case of Harry Hicks, a resident oi Louisville, charged with conducting 6 disorderly house. in December, with in five miles of Camp Zachary Taylor His counsel pleaded that the armistic( was signed before the alleged offenc, | was committed, and that therefore tn,
 military five-miIe regulation no longe
 was in effect. Judge Evans sustained | the contention, and ordered a nev l trial for the defendant,
