BOND CASE IS
AGAIN BROUGHT.
BEFORE COURT
Attorneys Endeavor to Stipulate
Facts To Forward To
Supreme Court
DIFFER ON SOME POINTS

Hearing on the case involving the
bond contract of the Bank of North
Dakota with Splitter, Rorick and COM

neys agreed to try to stipulate the
facts. They were engaged in working
on the proposed stipulation this after
noon. N..
When the hearing was opened al
10 O'Clock before Judge A. T.. Cole, of
Fargo, in the district court here, At

the matter be continued, since an ap-
peal had been taken from the order
Of Judge Nnesslet granting a tempor-

delivery bonds. Attorney J. J. Kehos.
for those seeking to break the bond
contract, said that Judge Nuessle had
indicated there were questions of fact
to be considered also and that there
was not agreement upon all points
Judge Cole suggested attorneys en-

the record might be sent to the SUI

entire question be disposed Of.

right to attempt to raise rate OF in

none should be mulcted," said Mr..
Kehoe today, in further explaining his

The method of the transaction by
which the Industrial Commission sold
bonds to the Bank of North Dakota

CLOTHES SHOP
WILL OPERATE
WITH new NAME
Rosen's Clothing Shop Will Be
known as the Mems Clothes
Shop in Future
REASONS FOR CHANGE

ROsen's Clothing Shop, bcated in
the Mckenzie hotel building for the
past ten years, owned and operated
by Al and Charles Posen, has changed
the style Of the firm name to The
Mems Clothes Shop. The business will
be still located and conducted in the
present location in the Mckenzie
hotel building.
The chief reason to prompt this
hustling clothing enterprise to change
the style name, is for the reason that
in the past few years there have been
other l.osens who have come, to Bis
marck and have operated under this
name in the clothing business.
Our customers and the public have
labored under the impression that
these other stores were operated by us
and that their owners were either rel.
atives or in some manner connected
in business with u.s." said AL Rosen.
1--WE want it distinctly understood
that we are, the original ROsen Cloth
ing store in the state Of North Dakota
and at Bismarck and we are not in
any way connected in business with
any other person or persons by this
name in this state. We came to Bis1'
marck first and as we were then the
only Rosens we decided to style our
clothing business as Rosen's Clothing
Shop, but today there are others of
similar names which confuses the
trade and that is why We have deemed
it necessary to change the style name
of our up -to-date and first.class cloth
ing store to The Mems Clothes Shop.
1--WE desire to inform the public
that by changing the Style name OF
our business it is not going To inter.
rupt in the least with the quality OF
merchandise that we have carried for
years. We will still maintain the
same personal and courteous attention
as we have always done in the past
"Al Rosen and Charles Rosen, to-
gether with Mr.. Payne will be pleased
at all times to give the best that is
within their power.
"On the back page OF this issue
there is an advertisement under the
new firm name, The Mems Clothes
Shop. and as to quality of merchan-
disc and prices, we have exerted every
effort to attract great sale for the
sole benefit Of our customers ana
friends. which we trust they will take
advantage off," concluded Mr.. Rosen.

SUBMARINE PLAN DEBATED.

washington, NOV. 1S.-(By the AS
sociated Press.)-Committe sessions
Of the conference delegates stood at
adjournment today to give opportunity
for preparation by Japan's delegation
of general presentation of that coun..
try's views on China's proposals of
principles for settlement Of Far
Eastern questions at committee
meeting of all delegations tomorrow.
Following decision OF all the dele
CATION heads meeting as q committee
on procedure yesterday that q gen
eral exchange Of views on China's
program be had before proceeding
to the consideration of specific points
as they fall under the divisions OF the
original agenda the Japanese delega-
cation asked for the lapse of day
before holding a meeting of the dele.
cations for that purpose. Baron Kato
has announced Japan's acceptance Of
China's proposals as the basis of dis
cussion in committee saying he had
no objection to their acceptance in
principle for that purpose.
British, Americans Differ.
Meanwhile committees Of the Brit.
ish delegation pushed their work to-
day of formulating in detail their NO.
sitton on both the American arma-
ment proposal and the Chinese Far
Eastern program. Although prepara-
tion of the British viewpoint on the
armament questions. it was stated.
Will require two or three days yet for
completion the committee of naval Of
ncers for the five powers is CARRYING
forward its consideration of the
american proposal and is reported a.
ready to have made some progress.
IL AZ regarded as certain, however.
that NO early reports from this body
can be looked for in view of the task
II faces in accommodating the strong
British desire for cut in the maxi
mum submarine tonnage proposed and
tne equally firm American view that
TINS maximum should be retained
Whlle this at present is the outstand
ing point of disagreement on the arm
ament question the committee also
must take up notifications to be pro-
posed by Japanese permitting her to
maintain general tonnage slightly
greater" than the proposed 60 per
cent ratio. Announcement that Japap
would ask this was made by Baron
hato late yesterday in statement in
which ne said his country also would
seek the right to maintain in tyne of
vessels of strictly defensive char
acter' OF tonnage approximating that

BUSINESS MEN
ASK 500 LINE
BETTER SERVICE
Present Formal Petition TO State
Railroad Commission For
"Daylight Service"
PROTEST NEW SCHEDULE
Action Taken Upon Reports
That Road May Materially
Change Schedule
PROTEST NEW SCHEDULE

"A formal petition was made TODAY
10 the state railroad commission to
order daylight service" to Bismarck
from both the north and the south
over the 500 railroad. The petition
was presented as from the CONNER
claI club, with about 20 business men
present at the conference with Chair
man MilhOllan Of the commission.
The business men desire the "day-
light service" from Wishek on the
south and Drake on the north so that
parties can come into Bismarck and
transact business and get back to
their homes. the same day. I'D.
This, they said, is done on many
branch lines requiring longer runs.
The petition of the local business men
was prompted by consideration by the
500 of plans to revise the train
schedule Under the proposed revised
schedule tli4 north 500 would run to
Max insteadSOf into Minot as at pre-
sent, and the south 500 would be
mixed freightand passenger train. The
North 500 now leaves here at 7::3O a.
m. and returns at 6:15 p m. and the
South 500 leaves at 1920 a. m. and
returns at 3:45 p. m. A mixed train,
the business men contend. would re-
quire a much slower schedule.
Among other things, G. N. Remission,
secretary of the Commercial club,
pointed out that many sick persons
are brought from points south of here
to hospitals, and he pointed out the
danger that would attend to the
slowness of mixed freight and pas
senger train and the danger to sick
persons through frequent stops and
switching.

SAYS LEAGUERS
GENERALLY ARE
BEHIND CONTEST
John Bloom of Devils Lake Ar
rives in Bismarck to Take
Charge of Preparation
SAYS FUNDS OBTAINED
Att0rney-general Says He'll Not
Be In It But Says Petit
Oners Are Right

Opposition expressed by some Non
partisans to the proposed contest o1
the recall election was discounted by
John Bloom, of Devils Lake, here
early today to take charge of prepara
tions in advance of the arrival of at.
t0rneys.
There is only a comparatively
small per cent of Nonpartisans who
have expressed opposition" he said
"and they base their attitude mainly
up expressions in the Courier-News
and the attitude of league headquar-
ters, but think down in their hearts
they are anxious that we go through
with it. OF course it would not be I,
good thing for League headquarters
to start a contest, it would not be the
action Of good sports after they had
been leading one side in the elec-
tion."
Asked if he would ask the attorney
generals office to take part in prep
Eration for the contest, Mr.. Bloom said
he would not do so. Attorney General
William Lemke who arrived here from
Washington during the night said,
however, that he believed Bloom and
his associates were right on the ques
tion of fact and of law. He said he
would not take part in the case.
The cost of the contest is uncer.
tain, Mr. Bloom said. He said that
until yesterday out of 30 requests for
$1O0 contributions George Laird had
received refusals from but three.
The original cost was estimated at
from between $4,000 to $4,000, he said
1T depends upon the course of the
case," he said. II the supreme court
accepts our verified petition it will be
kept within this amount, but if it is
required that We bring in witnesses it
will cost great deal more :
One theory Of the contest, he said,
would be that there was large num-
ber Of Implications in recall petit
tion and that there was a large num-
be who signed petitions who had not
voter for governor at the previous
election. One or two other lesses
points will be raised he said. He
thought complaint would hardly be
ready for presentation to the court
before Monday.
DO NOT TAKE CONTEST SERIOUSLY
Independents do not regard the
proposed contest of the recent cleo
ton seriously, T. G. Nelson, secre-
tary of the Independent Voters AS
sociation declared here today.
"If they do not believe the petitions

1000 of them in the state there would
be lively time in any town that the
