LANCER LEADS FIGHTv
FOR REDUCED RATES

Bismarck, N. D., April 22-(Spe-
ciaD If reduced freight, passenger
and express rates are obtained as a
result of the North Dakota suit
against the Northern Pacific railway
and Walker d. Hines, director gen.
eral, this state, which will benefit to
the extent of $10,0O0,00O per annum,
and the nation, which will save ST.
200,0OO,000 yearly, will have North
Dakota's aggressive attorney general
to thank for it. Attorney General
LANCER was the first law officer to
win in any state court an action
against the federal railway admins
tration based upon the contention
that it had no right to interfere with
intra-state rates. The solicitor gen.
eral for the railway administration,
realizing that LANCER had raised all
moot points, agreed before the de-
cision Of the state court was handed
down to move this action for immedi-
ate hearing before the United States
supreme court. AS result of Mr..
Langer's cooperation Washington
dispatches yesterday advised that
this appeal has been set for hearing
May 5, and that the United States
supreme court probably will not ad-
journ until it has decided the issue.

K0SITZKY RIDES
FREIGHT TO TAKE
PART In SESSION
State Auditor Makes Strenu-
ous Journey to Preside at
Regular Insurgents Gath
ering"

Bismarck, N. d., April ,22-(Spe-
ciaD Riding So miles on top of a
car of lumber on a through freight
from Stanley to Minot, State Audi
tor Karl Kositzky on Sunday evening
succeeded in making connections
which brought him back to Bismarck
early Monday morning to be present
at the insurgents Monday noon
round-table which was held in his
office. The affair was made Victory
Loan feed, with short talks on the
loan and other patriotic subjects
from prominent state officials who
made up the guest list. The men1
was thoroughly enjoyed by 35 men,
bers Of the official family at the cap
itol. At the governors office, with
the chief executive absent, eighteen
gathered about Mr.. Frazier's board.
In spite of an alleged effort upon
the part of the Townley faction of the
league to inject religious considera-
tions in the campaign which Ian
ger, Kositzky, Hall and other league
state officials are making upon the
'Townley-Mills-Bowe > triumvirate
there is every indication in the north
western part of. the state, says Mr
Kositzky, that the farmers have had
their eyes opened. The state audi
tor predicts an overwhelming victory
in the referendum election in July
for the advocates of home rule, and
economy in state government.
At Stanley, farmers left their drills
and seeders in the field and drove in
for twenty miles to hear the state
auditor Saturday afternoon. They
had been warned by Senator Skies
league member Of the upper house
in that district, to remain away and
to seal their ears to Kositzky's her
esy. They failed to acceptsth their sen.
ator's advice, and many who came
stated that they did so because Skies
had evaded replies to pertinent ques-
tions regarding league legislation, at.
tempting to excuse himself on the
ground that he was busy as a mem
ber OF the appropriations committee
and could not familiarize himself
with all the bills which Townley
Mills and Lemke cooked uR for the
approval of the league legislative ma
jority.

Engaged Farmer Shoots His

Turns Pistol Into His Own
Mouth.

Walcott, N. D., 9pril 22.-Simon
Odegard. recently returned to his
home near Walcott from Montana,
killed his wife and himself, the mur-
der probably being committed as the
result of a quarrel.
The youngest son Of the couple, a
boy aged -, found his mothers dead
body in the kitchen of the home.
While he was absent, going to the.
home of neighbor where he notified
a brother, the father, who was seen
around the farm yard when the
younger boy and his elder brother
were about half mile from the
farm, went to a grove of trees and
killed himself.
Shot in Back of Head.
Mrs. Odegaard. was shot in the
back of the head, Odegaard using
.38 calibre revolver Officials be-
lieve that she had no warning of her
husbands intention to kill her. gain
ing this impression from the position
In which the body was found.
Odegaard ended his own life by
putting the muzzle of his revolver in
his mouth, and firing. &C.,.
Both the mother and father were
dead when the boys got back to the
farm. =, -.
The youngest son was the only one
at the place at the time the shooting
of Mrs. Odegaard occurred. He
wasn't aware of the shooting until he
chanced to come into the house, and
there found his mother lying dead on
the floor, with great splotch OF
blood over the floor.
Probably in Rage. -.
Odegaard, who was known to be
of a quarrelsome disposition, and
who frequently became very Ill tenn
pered. had been in an unusually
pleasant mood the morning OF the
shooting, according to members Of
the family. They knew nothing of
any quarrel between their parents,
and are at a loss to account for the
| murder and suicide.
Odegaard, who was about so years,
has resided in this district for many
years with his family. He has re-
Gently spent considerable time at

that she is sclfmade, meaning that she
rose to high rank among opera sing

Left an orphan at sixteen, Mile. Gall
was thrown entirely upon her own re-
sources. She knew the piano thorough
ly and she began to give lessons on
that instrument. BY this means she
obtained enough money to live. In her
spare time she learned role and when
she knew it she presented herself at
the Paris Conservatorc Out of 500
applicants she was one Of fifty to be
received as pupil. At the same time
she was given what is equivalent to a
scholarship, which paid her 100 francs
(S20) a month, just enough to pay her
actual living expenses. She remained
at the Conservatoire for two years and
at the end t that time was graduated
and received the Premier Prix, which
entitled her to three debuts. AT her
very first, however, she won the ap-
proyal of the public and the critics and
WAS given an engagement mt the OPERA
That was in 1908 and she has advanced
steadily in favor and fame ever since.
