Ing that it is the duty of officials Of
the state to enforce the protection
given by the constitution and laws.

formance Of their duties" Attorney
General svefnb5orn johnson today
outlined his reasons for instituting
contempt charges in the supreme

tor Of the Fargo Courier News.
The supreme court has under con-
sideraicn the Information Of con-
tempt fled by the attorney general.
The Information is based upon a COM
muntcation published in the Courier
News and an. EDITORIAL following,
charge that the entire court was
corrupt. The editorial, was pas+icu-
,larly directed at Justice J. e. Robin

with dishonesty or corruption. That
practice has been SO common that we
have almost become calloused. Not
only have individuals and certain pub

the judges OF our courts when de-
cisaons have been made that did not
.harmonize with the political purposes
or the selfish ends OF this particular
class Of papers, have been charged
with corruption and incompetency.
TT is about time that tho protec-
ton which the constitution and laws
Of this state surround officials and
especially our judges in the perform
ance of their duties, be enforced. -
History shows that courts have
become venal and corrupt only In
those instances where they have been
subjected to the persistent pressure
Of scheming and selhsh political inter
ests. We think that the time has
come in this state when the judges OF
our local courts and our supreme
court may render honest deciMons &C.

posed to charges Of fraud and corrup-
ton in terms in themselves libelout

RESIGNATION
FROM NAVY TO
BE- PERMITTED
This Action is Taken as a
Means of Cutting Down
Naval Strength.
(By The Assoc,ated Press. )

=
New York, Dec. l3.-Orders re-
ceived today at the New York navy
yard which would provide for a. re-
ducdon in the enlistment Of the per-
sonnel Of the United States navy Of
approximately 10000 men, set forth
that any enlistment might be can
celled by resignation.
The orders, according to officials
at the yard, would reduce tho navy
to the numerical strength permitted
under recent appropriations Of con-
greas. Approximately 1000 men
would be taken from the Atlantic
fleet alone.
A few hours after the orders had
been posted. yard officials were del
uged with designations coming from
all classes of the enlisted service.
:, The drastic cut, it was said, probab-
ly would result in laying UP of a num-
Der Of vessels and reduction in the
strength Of the crews of many others.

two companions escaped from his cell
on the fourth floor Of the Cook county
Jail continued today with his where
abouts as much of a mystery as it was
one hour after his sensational dash.
which cheated the gallows of another
victim. O'Connor was to be hanged
Thursday for the murder of a Chicago
policeman.
Two Clues.
Early today two clues were given
the police and detective sergeants
were hurriedly dispatched to ascertain
their truthfulness. A telephone call
was received from the chief Of police
of Hartford. Wis. that three men, one
of them resembling O'Connor had
alighted from an early morning train
and registered at small hotel Fol-
lowing this Tip" an automobile filled
with detectives started for the Wis
consin city.
Edward Hanson Of Milwaukee ap"
peared at the police station and hand
ed a card to Chief Detective Hughes,
which he said had been given to him
by one of five men as he was about
to leave Milwaukee for Chicago. On
the card was written, don't send any
one after me. am innocent. Much
obliged to Strauss, I'm gone but my
friends will reward him. Good luck
to you all. l will be posted by my
friends and will shoot the first man
who puts his hands on me"
"a The card bore no signature and
.was addressed to the chief. Of police.
Hanson said the five men were my 4
large touring car and one OF them re-
sembled O'Connor. They did mot
hand him the card until they first had
inquired If he was going to Chicago
and they hurried away in the, auto
mobile before he boarded an electric
train for Chicago.
Pardon Not likely.
Only pardon by the governor or
the president--both possibilities too
remote to be considered of any con
sequence-can save O'Connor from
execution IL taken alive, according to
Lloyd Heath, formerly assistant state 8
attorney.
Attorney Heath said today that he
would go before Judge Scanlon of the
criminal court tomorrow and ask that
the clerk Of the court be instructed
to enter on the books that O'Connor
is a fugitive from justice. ''That is
all that is necessary" said Mr.. Heath,
then any time that O'Connor is
caught, be it this week or twenty
years hence, all that will be necessary
will be for the court to tix the date OF
the hanging"
