ADVISES
WITHHOLDING
RECOGNITION.
Senator Fall Outlines Mexican
Policy to Foreign Relations
Committee

Washington, May 31.-That full
recognition of the Mexican govern
ment be withheld until the constitu-
tion Of 1917 is revised, was made by
Senator Fall to the foreign relations
committee in his report Of the sub
committee, which has been investigat-
ing conditions in Mexico. Should the
Mexican government not agree to such
I; condition of recognition it was sug-
gested that the American government
renew it's warning that it would hold
to definite recognition all those re-
spOnsble for the loss and sufferings
sustained by Americans.
Failure of Mexican government to
restore peace ana TO protect American
citizens would be followed, in the plan
suggested, by the dispatch of an arm
cd force into that country ito open
and maintain every line of copmuni-
cation between the City Of Mexico and
every sea port and every border port"
1t was recommended that De La
Huerta, now president ad interim,
should not be recognized until it was
determined that his selection was ap-
proved by the Mexican people and un-
til it was shown that his administra-
tion was of stable character.
After receiving the report the for
eign relations committee directed Sen
ator Fall to present it to the senate.

WORK ON PRISON REFORM

Washington, May 81. - President
Wilson's action Saturday in ordering
the release from prison of Mrs. Kate
Richards O'Hare, the notorious rad
ical, convicted of violating the espion-
age law is regarded here as the fore
runner of a general freeing of all the
so-called political prisoners. A gen.
eral amnesty proclamation, however,
is not expected soon.
Eugene V. Debs, now serving ten
years sentence in the Federal prison
at Atlanta, Ca, for conspiring to de-
feat the selective service law, it is
expected will be the next to be re-
leased.
Wilson's Surrender Seen
Although stout denials were made
at the White House the general i'm
preston is that the president again
is capitulating to the radical element
Of the country. 1t can be stated au-
thoratively that several prominent
democrats have been urging the re-
lease Of men such as Debs for no
other purpose than to pacify the rad
lcals and bring as many as possible
of them back into the democratic
party.
Secretary Tumulty stated positively
that the president does not contem-
plate a general amnesty proclama-
ton. He insisted that each case will
be handled "on it's own merits"

SHOT IN BACK WHILE ESCAPING BUT

Otto Kinzie, inmate of the state re-
form school at MaHlan, is at the Bis
marck hospital, sui iering from a su-
perficial wound on his back, which
he received while attempting to es-
cape from the institution at a. M.
last Wednesday morning.
Three boys, Otto Kinzie William
Carmichael and Edward Foster, saw
an excellent chance to make a get-a-
way early that morning when they
were preparing to do the milking.
They were awakened at 4::30 to do the
milking, but instead of going to the
barn, they broke the screen in the
basement window and made a dash to
the Missouri river under the leader
ship Of Kinzie: ... ~...
Being the third attempt Of Kinzie
to escape, he took command and skill
ed in rivercraft, he directed the boys
to take the first boat in sight. They
rowed to the Bismarck side of the
river and started to drift down
stream.
AT 5 p. m. in the afternoon officers
from the school located the boys on
the river opposite Huff, near sibley

Young Warns Voters
Against Radicals

Rugby, May 3o.-At Rugby, Satur-
day night, Congressman George NJ.
Young gave the Townley leaders a
very bitter arraignment and warned
the farmers from lining up with men
who are directly associated with the
national radicals of the nation. Mr..
Young said that there remains no
question now as to the doubt whether
these men are lined up or not but it
has become proven fact. In endors-
ing the ticket as selected at MinOt,
Mr.. Young paid a fitting tribute to
the past record of John Steen, candi-
date for state treasurer. He also re-
cited the popularity and thoroughness
of William LANCER of Morton county.
A prominent league farmer in the au-
dience said that he had known Mr..
Young for long time and that when
he was in Bismarck he was the same
true friend to the farmers that he has
been while in Washington; this in
mind. why should he disbelieve any
thing Young should say now. The man
making the statement is prominent
farmer.

Predicts a Blonde for
President of Nation

Budapest, May 31.-Is there in
America a man who is blonde,
slightly bald, wears glasses, is "sur-
rounded by fine children and who
is an aspirant to the presidency?
If there is he is the man Of des-
tiny, according to Madame Bellaugh,

gift to the task of determining who
the next American president would

an attempt was made to assassinate
him within the last two years.

island twelve miles from the school.
The officers called to the boys to
surrender. This did not stop them,
but they jumped from the boat be-
fore reaching the shore, the officers in
the meantime firing over their heads.
Foster and Carmichael halted on the
shore. but 'Kinzie ran for the woods.
AS he was bending forward to enter
the brush, the last shot fired from a
revolver by the officers hit him, max
ing superficial wound along this
back. The officers called to the other
two boys to get the boat and bring
Kenzie across the river, which they
did.
They were placed in an automobile
and kinzie was. taken at once to the
Bismarck hospital where he is re-
ported to be doing we'll. The wound
is not serious and the boy will be
returned to the institution in few
days.
Kimie upon one of his escapes,
held up an Indian policeman and
sheriff in the woods near Fort Yates
where he had been located. He is
only sixteen years of age. ~.

LEAGUE NOT TO
FORM NEW PARTY
IN BRYAN'S STATE

Lincoln. Ncb., May 31.-The en-.
deavor of the Nonpartisan League in
Nebraska to elect in November sever
al independent candidates outside of
the major political parties does not
indicate an intention to form new
political party, according to G. A.
Sorenson. Mr.. Sorenson is attorney
for the league in this state. He says
this is not new procedure for the
league, as it did the same thing in
Minnesota two years ago after defeat
in the primaries.
Candidate for governor, lieutenant
governor and attorney general have
been named. These were chosen af-
ter the defeat of the leagues three
congressional candidates and its choice
for attorney general in the recent
Nebraska primary. Arthur Wray,
mayor Of York, Robert Mousel of
Cambridge. and F. L. Bollen of
Wayne are thte candidates for the re-
spective offices. They were selected
at convention of representatives of
farm and labor organizations, includ-
ing the league and the state fedora
tion of labor, held at Grand Island.
The names of these candidates will
be placed on the ballot by petition.
the words "By Petition" being print
ed on the ballots after names of in
dependents, so nominated, according
to the Nebraska law.

In behalf Of Debs strong pressure
has been brought to bear by demo-
cratic leaders who assert that contin-
ued Imprisonment of Debs, who re-
Gently was nominated for president
by the socialists in their New York
convention, is serving to make mar
tyr Of him with the radical voters of
the country.
UHare and Debs, Two Of a Kind
Mrs: O'Hare and Debs are two of a
kind Both did all they could to
block the operation of the draft law
it was charged by the government at
their trials.
The only excuse given for the re-
lease of Mrs. O'Hare is that she is
the mother of four children who are
suffering by her continued imprison-
ment. She was CONVICTED in st. Louis
in 1917 and the sentence confirmed by
the circuit court of appeals in April,
1919. Her fatal speech was at Bow
man, N. D., in which it was charged
that she said:
"A woman who rears sons to be
soldiers is no better than a brood
SOW. 1t is good thing to send SOL
diers to France. The ground will be
enriched by their carcasses."
Palmer Recommended Release
Tumulty said the president commut-
ed the woman's sentence on recon-
mendation of the attorney general.
Like Debs, Mrs. O'Hare was a can
didate before the socialist convention
in New York. She was defeated for
the vice presidential nomination by
Seymour Stedman of Chicago. Follow
ing the convention, delegation was
sent here to carry the demand to the
White House that Mrs. O'Hare, Debs
and other imprisoned radicals be re-
leased
Almost since the date of the armi-
stice radicals have been demanding
the release of their imprisoned breth-
rem. The government already has re-
leased all except fifty-seven of the
hundreds of conscientious objectors
who were imprisoned for long terms
during the war. The policy the gov
ernment seems to have adopted now
probably means that most of the re-
naming fifty-seven will be freed soon.
Throughout his administration Pres
ident Wilson has given his ear to the
radicals. Many of them have held
more or less important posts in the
government For instance, charges
that the Federal Trade Commission
harbors nest of radicals never have
been disproved. Secretary of War Bak
er repeatedly has shown the utmost

FINDINGS TO

Now He Must Pay, Says
Hickey
BY H. N. RICkEY,

Washington, May 81. - General
Leonard Wood has the proud distinc
ton to being the only million-dollar
candidate for the presidency
According to the testimony before

campaign Doodle charges approxim-
ately round million has been spent
in the military candidates interest
to date.
Half of this amount, mere $780,
900 has been advanced" by Colonel
Proctor of Cincinnati, the generals
manager.
These revelations are bound to af-
feet the Wood candidacy adversely
The fact that no evidence has beeh
adduced to show that any part of this
great doodle fund has been used cor
ruptly is in the generals favor
Bad impression
But neither this nor anything else
can Offset the bad impression that has
been created in the public mind am!
which inevitable will react in the
minds of the republican leaders and
the convention delegates.
However pure the motives of Col
onel Proctor in putting up half
million dollars of his own money TO
accomplish Woods nomination, the
whole proceeding raises big ques-
tion mark and puts both Wood and
Proctor on the defensive.
No explanation that can be made
will explain.
General Wood has been branded
with the dollar sign and that is all
there is to it.
AS the republican candidate he
would have to go through the cam
paign wearing that brand.

He would be known as the can
didate whose nomination was "bought
and paid for"
The democrats could ask nothing
better at the hands Of the republican
convention than that it nominate q
candidate who had permitted one man
to invest half million dollars in his
candidacy.
That would be the big issue of the
campaign.

Impressive ceremonies marked the
observance of Memorial cay Sunday
at the Auditorium. 1t was new de-
parture from the usual patriotic cele-
bration ard was suggested by the
American legion as fitting way in
which to honor the memory of the
distinguished dead who fought in the
Civil Spanish American and finally
the World War.
1t was the most beautiful and patri-
capital city and those who directed
it and participated in the symbolic
message of patriotism are to be con-
graduated for the dignity and solemn.
ity with which the various phases
were carried out.
The pageant is characterized by two
phases. An impressive altar upon
which is an urn a'blaze with fire held
the center Of the stage. Guarding
the sacred precincts were two
veterans of the late war. The pageant
opens with silent tribute to their de-
parted brothers by members of the
G. A. r.; the Spanish American War
and the World War veterans.
The three representatives Of each
conflict marched upon the stage the
great audience rose in deep respect,
while the chorus softy chanted ap-
propriate airs.
The pageant then proceeded with
patriotic dialogue by the two chief
characters. Spirit of the Nation garb-
ed as Columbia and Spirit OF the
Town. Then Characters representing
North, South, East and West, joined
in the general tribute.
Following the period of mourning
the veterans reappeared on the stage
and the pageant ended with rous-
ing spirit of patriotism.
The community singing by large
chorus under the direction OF Mrs.
A. G. Jacobson was especially ef-
fective. Musical numbers by the FL
tinge theatre orchestra added greatly
to the beauty of the affair.
Members of the cast which per-
formed in the pageant so effectively
were:
Spirit OF the Nution-Mrs. S. e.

Spirit of the Town Herbert +

Spirit of the north, south, east and

were provided for the members of the
G. A. R. and boxes were reserved

parade.
In the morning a committee of the

ACROSS THE SEAS
MEMORIAL DAY, 1920
By Edmund Vance Cooke

Across tht seas the lilies bloom
And spread their plying perfume
Where silent soldiers fought,
Whilei here the pansies morning
eyes
Are jewelled with tears to Symbolic
The sadness of our thought.
Across the seas the laurel breathes
OF valor symbolled by it's wreathes
Which deck the wooden cross,
While here the rosemary and rue
Remember, and remember, too,
The bitterness of loss.
Across the seas the poppies love
To cast their spell of sleep above
Some hushed and hallowed spot,
While here full many breast must
ache
But wears for some lost soldiers sake
The blue forget-me-not.
