ANTI -[EACUER
T0bE PEACHED

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 10. w.
Brinton, formerly private secretary to
A. G. Townley, appearing Thursday
night before the North Dakota SEN
ate committee investigating the recent
audit of state industries, demanded an
attorney when Ed. Sinkler, attorney for
the committee, asserted that he was at
tempting to impeach Brinton's testi-
mony.
The hearing was then adjourned until
Friday. In crOsS-examlnatlon OF Brln-
ton as to his testimony before the
house committee, Sinkler brought out
that many of the loans which Brinton
charged were made to state owned
industries by the Scandinavian-Ame
can bank of Fargo were made before
the bank Of North Dakota was opened
and in some cases before the law
creating the bank of North Dakota
was passed.
Made Before Bank Law.
"Do you know that these funds
from the Bank of North Dakota were
sent there to be lent to league organi-
zations?" asked Sink1er.
From $3.50, 900 to $4OO, 900 of public
funds of the state of North Dakota
were transferred to the Scandinavian
American bank by the Bank of North
Dakota to be lent to these league en-
terprises," Brinton testified.
"Were not these loans made two
years before the bank of North Da-
kota opened its doors?" asked Sink
Ter, reading list Of amounts loaned
to ctoto induSfr
II could not say" Brinton answered.
Memory Becomes Hazy.
"You know now and have known
that all except $4,000 of this was
lent to the Non-partisan associations
long before the Bank Of North Da-
kota opened?" asked -Sinkler.
Brinton was unable to deny or affirm
it.
IF you know, why did you testify
that these loans were supplied from
the bank of North Dakota to the Scan
dinavian bank and then misappropriat-
ed ?" Sinkler asked.
Brinton did not answer directly but
said "some of the loans probably were
made before the Bank of North Dakota
opened"

with widely differing opinions upon the
adyisability of the establishment Of a

state institutions and voiced their
opinions in no uncertain terms.
Former State Senator G. +. Morris,

the buildings could easily be- convert
ed to the purpose desired, he thought
the site undesirable for the reason that
the climatic conditions were not favor
able to such an institution and the lack
Of water for irrigation purposes would
be serious handicap.
Senator +. B. Connolly Of Yellow

ginia Mackay- Smith, daughter Of the
late Bishop Alexander Mackay- Smith,
of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
Pennsylvania, and Captain Karl Boy
Ed. former German naval attache at

in Berlin.
A cablegram to this effect was re-
ceived from the brides mother by close
friends Of the Mackay-Sm family in
this city
Miss Mackay- Smith, with her mother
left their home in Washington last
month for Germany. The wedding
marks the elimination of romance
which has aroused the interest of the
two continents.
Miss Mackay- Smith and Captain
Boy Ed have been reported engaged a
number of times during the last few
9.Aars. but each time it was denied.
The first report was circulated shortly
before Captain Boy-Ed and Captain
Won Papen were recalled from Wash

December, 1915, at the request Of
President Wilson. The two officers
were charged with having been con-
nected with munition plots and the

Mine Operators Plot
Coal Strikes, Howat
Tells Industry Court

Pittsburgh, Kan, Feb. 1O.-Charges
that the coal operators of Crawford
and Cherokee counties have wilfully
refused to adjust wage controversies
and have confederated to exasperate
the miners into striking for the pur-
pose of claiming that such strikes are
called to violate court injunctions, are
contained in an answer filed in district
court late Thursday by President Alex
ander NJ. Howat, of the Kansas Min
ers union and eight other union Off
cials arrested this week on charges of
contempt of court
The answer raises a score of objec-
tons to the complaints filed against
the defendants. 1t alleges, among other
things, that the industrial court law is
unconstitutional and that, therefore,
the injunctions issued by Judge Curran
are void. It also denies that the de-
PENDANTS are in conspiracy to inter-
fere with the court laws operation.
