Bowben County, Friday,

auditor Of Divide county, to Bis
marck for a five year sentence, fol-
lowing cancellation of parole by
Governor Frazier.
1t is alleged that Frazier pulled
his gun on Clarke yesterday in the
Ward county court house after an
alteration following denial by
Judge Lowe to Vadnais Of writ of
habeas corpus
Vadnais. in an attempt to avoid
Imprisonment, demanded writ Of
habeas corpus after his parole was
revoked. This was denied by
Judge Lowe on the grounds that
Vad1ais would have a hearing be-
fore the board Of trustees of the
penitentiary.
Vadnais pleaded guilty January
18 to falsifying records of Divide
county, but was parolled OIL condi-
tion that he help correct records and
make restitution. It is alleged that
he has not made good his promise.
George Goetz. a former county
treasurer, who was. charged with
falsifying records and embezzlement
when the Vadnais case came up,
also entered a plea of guilty and is
now serving from one to seven years
in the penitentiary.

MILLIONS FOR FARM
LOANS AVAILABLE soon

St. Paul, March I7.-Several mil
lions of dollars for investment In
farm loans in the northwest will
become available within the next
few weeks as the result of the
forthcoming fiotation of a large is
sue of Federal Land bank bonds, ii
became known yesterday.
These bonds will be offered by a
syndicate of investment bankers.
The Federal Farm Loan board is
now negotiating for the sale Of the
bonds to the banking syndicate.
The amount of the new issue has
not been determined but it is said
that it. will likely run from $685.
1eAO, 900 to s5O,00O,00O.
Bonds Offered After March Is
{ 1t was said thai the bonds will
probably be offered a short time
after March IS, the date Of the is
sue Of $40O,O0O,000 of United
States certificates at 5 IL and 5
"a per cent interest, announcement
of which was made today by A. w.
Mellon, secretary Of the treasury.
The Federal farm loan bonds will
be offered at per. cent.
The recent decision of the SUI
preme court upholding the constl-
tutionality of the Federal Farm
Loan bonds will protect all owners
of land bank bonds from taxation,
it was pointed out today by E. G..
Quamme, president of the Federal
Land Bank of St. Paul. If congress
should hereafter remove the tax ex.
emption feature, the law will not
apply to the bonds already issued.
st. Paul Bank to Offer Loans
The St. Paul Federal Land bank
will probably resume the making
of farm loans within 60 days, Pres
ident Quamme said yesterday. The
bank, however, will renew its loan
ing operations gradually and; it
must not be assumed, he said that
extraordinary amounts of money
are going to be poured into farm
lands In a short space OF time.

/. Y. A. NEWSPAPERS COME
TO RESCUE Of BANKERS

made to banks of Burke county the
sum of $80,S43.29. Very evidently
there would be no necessity for the
Bank OF North Dakota to draw on
All eastern bank if Burke county
bankers were so willing to pay
their obligations. Some of the
Burke county and other bankers of
the state who claim to their pa
irons that they can pay their obli-
cations to the Bank of North = Da-
kota, or owe it nothing at the same
time write the most pitious letters
to the state bank officials asking for
more time, and abjectly admitting
their inability to pay.
2nd. In regard to the rcdistri-
button of funds. If the bankers OF
Burke county claim they can pay to
the county the funds belonging to
it they tell a far different story
than they have told to the officials
of the Bank of North Dakota. At
ter the experience the officials of
the state bank have had in attempt
ing to collect from Burke county
bankers and the protcstation of
some of them that the withdrawal
Of deposits and call of loans made
to them by the state. bank would
place thcm in a, very embarrassing
position, the officials of that bank
were very glad to find that the
Burke county treasurer would set
banks and they figured they had
got rid of liability and not lost an
asset.
These public funds in Burke
county banks constituted part Of
the frozen funds" the. press that
defends the, grain gamblers and OPP
poses the organized farmers has
prated SO much about. When the
funds Of Burke county were first
transferred from Burke county
banks to the Bank Of North. Dakota,
It was done by paper transfer
which was the only way .. it could
have been transferred as the funds
were already frozen in the Burke
county banks way back in July,

CAN'T RECALL C0UN
1Y COMMISSIONERS

.. Bismarck, N. D., March 1.-THE
recall provision of the state consti-
tuition does not apply to county
commissioners, the North Dakota
supreme court ruled this afternoon.
in upholding the decision of District
Judge McKenna, who had been re-
strained thru the county auditor o.
Emmons county from proceeding
with plans for the recall election OF
FRANC Goughnour, commissioner.
set for March Is. Counsel for
Goughnour claimed the recall does
not apply to subdivisions less than
counties and as commissioners are
elected by districts within the coun-
ties they do not come within the
scope of the law. One county COM
missioner in Dunn county has all
ready been recalled.

An article published in the Co.
lumbus Reporter and Flaxton Times
last week which was no doubt fur
nished by the Burke county Bank
ers' Association, The Tribune is ac-
cused of publishing misleading
statements in regard to the meeting
of the bankers and county COM
missioners held here Immediately
after the county settled with the
Bank Of North Dakota. We. still
insist that every statement made in
our article is absolutely true. The
main objection by the bankers to
our article was what we said about
some of the bankers present prac-
tically admitting that they were un-,
able to pay the checks drawn on
them by the Bank of North Dako-
ia, and the two I. ". A. papers
mentioned say this is not true.
The Tribune sees no reason why
these papers should slie about, a pro-
position of this kind, when 1t is
SO easy to- get at the truth. A
sworn statement of condition on
Feb. 21 OF all banks in the county
was published in the newspapers Of
the county during the past few
weeks. These statements show
that possibly with the exception of
only few instances the banks were
in no condition to pay the checks.
Any fool could see it. About all
we have. to say on this subject now
is that the editors of the two l.. Y.
A.. papers must have an awful lot
of CUTS to endeayor to get the peo-
pie to believe this line OF rot i'm
.nediately after the publication o.
the sworn statements. A commun

LABOR In GERMANY
BLAMED FOR WAR
SAMUEL GOMPERS PLACES FULL
RESPONSIBILITY
President Of American Federation
Says Workers in Germany Failed
at Critical Hour

Denver, June 14.-Blame for the
recent World war was placed square
" on the shoulders of organized labor
in Germany by President Samue
Gompers in an address to the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor convention
here today.
81 hold, and 1 accept full respon,
sibnity for what l am about to say,
said President Gompers, that the or
ganized labor movement of Germany
failed dismally at the critical hour
eff it had taken the situation in
hand it might have meant the destruc-
ton of few thousand, but it would
have stopped the war. The failure
of men to act at a time Of crisis IS
faithlessness to a common cause"
In his address, which was re-
Spouse to those of fraternal delegates
from Great Britain and Canada, Pres
ident Gompers dwelt upon the atJl-
tude of the federation and himself,
both during the war and since, during
the period of reconstruction.
W. F. Bush, fraternal delegate rep
resenting the Canadian Trades and
Labor congress, told the assembled
delegates that despite difficulties, or
ganized labor in Canada was at least
holding it's own. He reviewed the IN
cipiency of the "One Big Union
movement and predicted ''its early
DEATH"
A resolution was adopted by the
convention urging congress to pass
Immediately the Johnson bill, pro-
viding for federal investigation into
conditions in the Mingo country,
West Virginia, strike zone.
President Gompers' remarks came
at the end of the session, marked by
oratory of international character de-
livered by the fraternal delegates
from Great Britain and Canada.
After reviewing the international
problems confronting organized Ia
Dor of the world and the British coal
miners strike, j. H. Thomas, British
labor leader, discussed the Irish ques-
tion when questioned as to what The
British labor movement is doing for
Irish freedom.
He declared the British labor move
ment stands for freedom, for domin-
ion home rule in Ireland, if need be,
adding: ""The only limitation we put
is that we are not going to have Ire
land made menace for submarine
warfare. Don't assume, however,
that the British labor movement
stands for an independent republic. y
Warning the workers of America
that they cannot solve the Irish ques-
ton, Mr.. Thomas said: Il warn you
against trying to create in their Qrish
people) minds the feeling that you
can solve their difficulties. They don't
understand at all and isn't it a cruel
thing for people to assume that mere
ly by passing resolution you can
solve this problem of hundreds of
years?"
The British leader was given an
ovation at the conclusion of his ad-
dress and many times during his talk
his remarks were applauded.
James Walker, also delegate from
the British trades union congress
urged arbitration of world dispute
and disarmament.
