Authorities Believed to be Near
ing Solution of Wolf Muir.
der Mystery.

Reports received here from Turtle
Lake today are to the effect that the
Mclean county authorities are pre-
pairing to- make arrests in connection
with the murder of Mr.. and Mrs. ia
cob Wolf their five young daughters
and the 13-year-old chore boy, Jake
Hofer. who were horribly killed on the
Wolf farm the latter part of April af-
ter which their mutiated bodies re-
NAMED undiscovered for two days.
The reports from the scene of the
crimes, which appear to be from an
authentic source, indicate that the au-
thorities now believe the murders
were committed by two young men
living in the vicinity Of the Wolf farm.
The movements Of these two suspects,
it is claimed. have been, carefully
checked up by the authorities so that
the officials are posted on where the
two young men were the day the mur'
derS were committed.
Although the ownership of the
double barreled shot gun found in a
slough one mile from the Wolf farm
has not been definitely established by
the authorities, it is understood that
evidence the officials now have indl-
cate that this gun, which was undoubt-
edly used in numbering seven OF the
eight victims. belongs to one of the
two young men suspected OF the
crimes.
1t is understood that the authorities
are seriously contemplating making
arrests this week and that they hold
hopes of exacting confessions from the
two young men suspected of the kill

SCORES WILSON

SCOHeS "VeSON
Washington, May 5. Opening de.
bate on his resolution to declare the
state of war with Germany and Aus
tria at an end. Senator Knox, republi-
can. Pennsylvania. declared in the sen.
ate today, that President Wilson was
arbitrarily maintaining that the nation
technically was at war in order to
coerce the senate into ratifying the
treaty of Versailles.
"There was no excuse whatsoever
for greatly prolOnging the war beyond
the signature of the, armistice." the
senator said. "and the only explana-
tion for so doing was the deliberate
aim of the administration to retain
all those autocratic compulsory pow
cIs with which the executive had
been endowed in order that they might
be used for other than war purpose.
... Welfare at Stake
'"rhe welfare and safety Of the ma
tion imperatively demands that we
now, have peace. The whole world
seethes with revolution. Our own ma
ton is in ferment and toll. And yet
we stand and have stood for months
as rudderless ship foundering in the
trough Of tremendous seas.
1--WE must no longer delay return
to government of peace; we must
not hazard further postponement in
turning our undivided deliberations to
our home problems. AS preliminary
step the executive must be returned to
his peace time powers and preroga-
1ives.'
Declaring that he entertained only
sympathy for the president in his i'll
ness and sympathy for the country
which must suffer under him because
of it." Senator Knox said it was an
unwelcOmed task "to judge one who
has fallen in public esteem" He
added, however that when danger
threatened the nation. it must be met
four fronted and that, "he who vent
ured to intervene against the safe and
wise course. must step aside or be
crushed"
Sells Operative
Senator Knox said it would be idle
to pass any resolutions looking to
the immediate establishment of peace
that did not contemplate the unquan-
fed acceptance of the treaty if that
resolution required from the president
the performance of any act or duty
in order to secure peace. He argued
that if any resolution was to be effec
tive it would have to be self opera
tive. .v'~
Launching into 5000 word dis
cussion of his resolution, the senator
said the congress had the power to
''unmake" any of it's acts and conse-
quently had the power to repeal the
resolution declaring state of war
with the imperial German government
and with the Austro-H Hungarian en-
pire.

ENDORSE MIN0T
DELEGATES WHO

Anti-Townley Republican Con-

Afternoon

NOT ALL HARMONIOUS
Fight Staged on Naming Same
Men Selected by Original
Convention
NOT ALL HARMONIOUS

With only slight friction showing
above the surface. Burleigh county
anti-Townley republicans held their
county convention here this afternoon
and elected the same twelve republi-
can delegates to the state convention
at Minot May 12 and 13 that were en-
dorsed by the anti-Townley county
convention held several weeks ago and
participated in by republicans and
democrats alike.
The convention was we'll attended
and P. G. Harrington. who presided
at the anti-Townley convention a few
weeks ago. was named chairman OF
the meeting. S. G. Fogerty acted as
secretary. From the beginning of the
session it was seen that there was a
certain amount of rivalry between two
groups, those who endorsed the action
Of the first anti-Townley convention
and those who wished to elect dele
gates to the state convention other
than those originally endorsed.
After considerable discussion, argl-
ment, motions and counter motions, it
was unanimously decided to have
the secretary cast the ballot of the
convention in favor of the twelve men
endorsed by the former convention
This "unanimous' motion carried by
about a three fourths vote.
In the interests of harmony, how
ever, it was then decided to cast bal
lots for each candidate individually
and the convention then nrOceeded tO
vote on the following men, the first
twelve of whom were endorsed by the
first conventions: J. w. Burch, l.. f.
Heaton, Victor Anderson, H. C. Egger-
ton, H. p. Goddard. P. G. Harrington.
E. c. Fogerty, Nels Qualley of Dris-
coll, G. n. Livdahl, H. G. Higgins,
Capt. K. e. Wanner and A. O. Krogan,
Frank Harris. c. l.. Mccoy, Theodore
Koffel and John Hagen.
AS in the first antiTownley county
convention, Mr.. koffel made every
attempt possible to prevent the con-
vention this afternoon from endorsing
delegates to the Minot convention who
were known to favor the candidacy of
Attorney General William Langer a.
the republican nominee for governor.
While the Burleigh county delegation
will go to Minot uninstructed as to
candidates, it is favorably disposed
to the candidacy Of Langer and Rich
ard Gallagher, states attorney Of
Golden Valley county, for attorney
general on the anti-Townley republi-
can ticket.
