FRAZIER FORCED.

Ousted Commissioner of Work

Takes Matter to Court
HEARING SET FOR JUNE s

The long expected legal proceed
ings by L. ]. Wehe, ousted commits
sioner of the workmen's compensation
bureau, to fight overnor Lynn j. Fra
ziers efforts to put him off that bu-
reau. were started today by Mr.. Wehe
when he filed writ of mandamus
returnable by June to compel the
compensation bureau to pay him his
April salary.
The papers were filed with Clerk Of
Court Charles Fisher here and Judge
W. L. Nuessle issued the writ. The
proceedings are directed against the
North Dakota workmens compensation
bureau, John ~ Hagan, chairman,
and S. S. Mcdonald commissioner,
Of the bureau. The date for the hear
ing was set for June s by Judge Nues-
sle. ..,.-.. ....
In his complaint Mr. Wehe charges
that the bureau failed to pay him his
salary of $20S33 for the entire month
of April. When the hearing is
brought before Judge Nuessle it is
believed MIR. Wehe will claim that
the efforts of Governor Frazier to oust
him from office were illegal and that
the position OF commissioner of the
bureau is rightfully his for a period
of three years. until Governor Frazier
can show that iWehe failed to do. his
duties or acted in an improper man
ner.'
BY bringing the matter to court,
it is pointed out, Wehe obtains what
he has been fighting for, public
hearing on Governor Frazier's custer
charges. The governor has constant
ly refused to give Wehe a public
hearing claiming that he has the
necessary authority to discharge an
appOintive official as he deems neces-
sary.

LEMKE ONCE HAD
A MEXICAN ARMY
TO SAVE LANDS
Bishop of Nonpartisan League
Was Commander in Chief
Of Huge Force

The recent visit here Of William
Lemke, dominant power in Nonparti-
san league affairs in North Dakota,
and self selected candidate for the
nomination for attorney general at
the June primaries, brings to light
that Bill, sometimes referred to as the
bishop of the league, once was can
didate for the head of one of the
many Mexican armies which perreni-
ally, biennially and annually sweep
over the broad reaches of Mexico.
The boss of the league in North
Dakota owns considerable property
in Mexico Several years ago when
Mexican politics were filled with chill
con carne and other hot ingredients,
somewhat similar to North Dakota
politics since Lemke thrust himself
into the >limelight. Bill wanted to
start an army to save his property
from Mexican bandits.
Appointing himself commander in
chief, director general and manager,
and a few other things-just like he
has been doing in North Dakota for
the past few years,--Lemke came
back to his home state and tried to
raise an army. He lavished titles
and officers on his friends in the east
ern part of the state, but in spite Of
all the inducements he could offer,
he failed to fill the ranks Of his pro-
posed army.
Now that the many factions in
Mexico are endeavoring to submerge
each other and their country at the
same time, league officials at the
capital are wondering if Lemke in
tends to again try to raise an army
to invade Mexico. Perhaps the bishop
figures that Mexico will offer him a
safe refuge after the June primaries

berts. who has just completed two all

ed crop conditions throughout Bur

,"Crop conditions throughout Bur-
leigh county are in generally good
condition, and fairly well advenced
for this season Of the year said Mr..
Roberts practically all small grain,
with the exception of flax, has been
planted. and the early soWn shows a
good stand. Some reports of sand
blowing damage in the southeastern
part OF the county have been received.
Labor is Scarce
Corn planting is we'll under way
and flax seeding has begun. The acre
age. however. of the latter crop will
be much smaller this year than usual,
due to the dryness of the sod, the high
price of seed flax and scarcity of la.
Dor.
Crops over the northwest portion
of the county are the best so far OBJ
served. 1t is to be regretted, however,
that quite percentage of titled ground
will not be cropped this year, due to
the lateness Of the season, and the
scarcity of farm labor.

the winter in generally poor condition,
owing to the lack of feed, are improv-
ing rapidly as pastures and ranges af-

Recognition Of Revolutionists
by the United States Presents
Many Complicated Problems
if Policy Outlined by Presi-

Mexico City, May 22.-(By the AS

here early this morning state that
General Juan Barragan, chief of the
presidential staff Ygnacio Bonillas.
former Mexican ambassador at Wash
ington; General Marciano. Gonzales,
and General Fredrico Monies, who ac-
companied President Carranza in his
flight from San Andres, are safe. No
mention is made of the others in the
party, which it is believed included
Louis Cabrirera. minister of the
treasury; Alfonso Cabrirera. his bro.
ther, governor of Pueblo and General
Francisco Murguia, who acted as COM
mander Of the Carranza troops after
the president had fled from the city.
Train is Sent
d, Orders have been given that a train
be taken to Beristain, the nearest rail-
way point to Tlaxcaltantongo to re-
ceive the bodies Of those killed in the
encounter in which President Car
rama lost his life.
WASHINGTON NOT ADVISED
Washington. May 22.-No report on
the death of Carranza had come today
from the American embassy in Mexico
City and the Associated Press dis
patcehs were the only information be-
fore the government here.
If Carranza has been killed the man.
ner of his death may inject an un-
looked for element into the question
Of recognition Of the new government
in Mexico. When President wilson
declined to recognized Hureta after
the killing of Madero and Suarez he
outlined and gave notice to all Latin
American countries broad policy that
the United States would recognize no
government not based on constitution
al authority. .......
Recognition Clouded
Up to this point the Mexican revo-
luton has been marked by an alb
sence of fighting and the question Of
whether the revolutionary forces
might be recognized has been left for
later developments.
If it were to be shown that Carranza
was killed in coup d etat the ques-
tion of recognition of the new govern
ment probably would go back to Presi-
dent Wilson's originally outlined
policy If he were killed in a battle
with the revoutionists it probably
would still be a question as to wheth-
er the recognition of his successors
came within the policy laid down sew
eral years ago.
