BAR OF HOUSE
Solons Ask Explanation of Ar

The majority of the house OF rep
resentatives want it understood they
can't be bought.
This was given as the reason why
the majority voted to summon c. X.
Gummerson, correspondent for the
Fargo Courier-News, to the bar of the
house to explain just what was meant
when the article sent emissaries OF
bankers try to "buy' farmer legisla'
tors.
The resolution to bring Mr.. Gum
merson before the bar Of the house
was offered by Representative john
son, of Ward. 1t carried by a vote
of 81 to 49. h.
After two hours of word duelling
between Independents and Nonpartt-
sans, the matter was deferred until
3 o'clock this afternoon and Mr., Cum
merson was to be present at that
time.
Mr.. Gummerson, who was report
ing senate hearing when he was
by the sergeant-at-arms, asked that
he be permitted to consult with coun-
sci. This permission was granted
but the attorney he wished in the
house with him was engaged in q
senate hearing, and it was after this
that the proposal was to lay the matter
over one day.
League members indicated they
might ask that other correspondents
be brought before the house to ex-
plain articles.

The case is without a parallel in

The question agitating the state is:
Can Cecil Burkett be given fair
trial?" "
For the law gives prisoner the
right OF trial by jury of his peers!
Strictly interpreted, that would
mean trial by boys of his own age.
But the same law requires that jur'
ors be adults.
DR.. Harold N. Meyer, former com.
missioner of health for Chicago and
a leading alienist of the middle west,
has examined Cecil for the Bismarck

DR.. Meyer is 62, kindly, shrewd
