UP TO OFFICERS
T0ENF0RCE LAW
JOHNSON WRITES
Sends Letter to States Attorneys
and Sheriffs Asking For \
Vigilance
CAN ENFORCE 'cDRY" LAW
Says Two Years of Prohibition
Has Shown it Can Be En-.
forced Successfully

Attorney-General Sveinbjorn John
son has issued an appeal to sheriffs
and states attorneys Of North Dakota
to enforce the law.
In letter dispatched to all such
officers today Mr.. Johnson declares
that the prohibition laws and other
laws can be enforced if the officers
charged with their enforcement will
do their duty and the people of the
communities will back efforts of the
officers.
after two dry years the experience
of the country conclusively shows that
this law can be enforced, provided the
law officers take determined stand"
Mr. Johnson said, "and will not know
ingly permit the slightest infraction
thereof"
His letter follows:
"Mr. Sheriff and States Attorney:
There was created by the legisla-
ture OF 1921 a department known as
the State Licensing Department, to be
operated in connection with the office
of the Attorney General. 1t, was made
the duty of this Department to appoint
inspectors to assist in the enforce
ment of the laws regulating and IL
censing pool halls, theaters, bowling
alleys, etc. This Department also was
required to aid local officers in en-
forcing the laws against the manufac-
ture and distribution of intoxicating
liquor. Fees were collected from the
businesses subject to its regulation,
and made available to pay the ex-
penses of operating the Department.
Cup to and including the 23rd Of
November, 1921, there had been COL
lected in licenses the sum of $69,006.4
for the year 1921. Virtually all COL
lectiOns had been received which could
be expected up to June, 1922. When
| came into office all this had been
expended. and, in addition, I found
bills aggregating $5,00S.01 which had
not been paid. This department
therefore has been hamstrung. and
cannot function to any great extent,
except in a general supervisory ca
pacity, as far as the enforcement Of
these various prohibitory laws is con-
cerned.
81 am appealing to you, as the duly
constituted local law officer, to exer-
else the utmost energy in enforcing
observance Of all laws within your
particular jurisdiction. There are
two constables in every township
(you can get their names from the
Clerk of Court) marshal in every
village, policeman in every city, and
you should be able to make them real
ize that they have a definite and re-
sponsible place in the machinery of
law enforcement, and can and should
be of great help to you in enforcing
the license and liquor laws

EARTH OFF ITS
BALANCE, CAUSE:
OF FQUAKBSH0CK
Got Dizzy in Merry Whirl and
Shifted it's ''POles" to Fit
New Center
SHOCKS ARE WIDESPREAD

New York, Feb. 1.-The earth, in its
dizzy whirl through space, got Off
center for few moments yesterday
and shifted it's poles" to fit the new
center Of rotation. E
Then in order that it might not be
travelling on "flat Wheel SO to
speak, a few million tons of solid
rock, somewhere off the western
coast of the United States, in the
bed of the Pacific ocean, slipped a
hundred feet or so to even things
up. The seismOgraph record showed
a deviation of millimeter and a
half.
"Observcrs here said they could not
be certain whether the displacements
were horizontal or vertical. In the
great San Francisco shock of 1906 the
horizontal displacement amounted to
about 20 feet .
~SliV' Near Columbia River
This is the manner in which pro-
fessors Of geology and seismographic
observers account for the violent
earth vibrations which demoralized
instruments fn observatories through
out this country yesterday. H.
Thus far the exact location of the
huge "slip" has not been determined
although observers from Washington,
D. C. to Berkeley, California, agree
that it probably was few hundred
miles off the mouth of the Columbia
river
Absence of a record disruption OF
the visible surface of the earth or OF
the huge tidal wave which usually
radiate from the scene Of an earth
quake, lead the observers to believe
the "slip' occurred miles below the
bed of the ocean.
, It's violence was attested by the
quivering seismograph which in some
instances were thrown from the rec
ording rolls, while strong ma
chine" at Berkley was set in motion
for the first time in many years.

MINE WORKERS.
HEAD PLANS TO
AID RAIL MEN
Saws that Miners Would Pool In
terests in Fight Against
Wage Cuts
MEETING IS CALLED

indianapolis, Feb. 1.-The United
Mine Workers of America arc willing
to ."unreservedly pool their interests
with fhe railroad organizations and
stand with them in resistance to the
proposed attacks on their wage sched-
ules,"1 John l.. Lewis, international
president of the miners declared In
statement today.
The statement was made along with
the announcement that invitations to
participate in a meeting with the
miners had been sent to officers or
the 16 major organizations Of railroad
workers.
MI. Lewis declared railroad workers
nave been compelled to accept in
equitable wage reductions" and as
serted propaganda is being conduct
ed on a gigantic scale to enforce fur
ther "unwarranted wage cuts upon
them"
1T is likewise apparent that certain
interests are seeking wage reductions
in the coal mining industry" he con-
tinued, "In order to successfully COM
bat this frenzied hysteria' the min
ers are willing to join hands with the
railroad workers, he added.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Charges of in
efficiency in federal wartime con-
troll Of railroads "have been made and
published with recklessness for
which ignorance, design, or selfish
purpose alone can account" William
G. McAdoO, former Director General
of the Railroad Administration declar-
ed Today at the Senate Interstate Com
mittee investigation of the present
railroad situation.
Beginning what was expected to be
a two-day statement OH the situation,
Mr.. McAdoo told the committee the
government took over the railroads in
1917 because they were breaking down
under private management, unable to
meet the stress of war demands, and
that federal control and unified oper-
alton saved the situation
: Not only was the transportation ma
chine kept running, he insisted, but it's
condition was improved, it's equipment
extended, and it was returned to pri-
vate owners, in such shape that it was
able to handle greater volume Of traf-
fic in 1920 than ever before.
Takes Direct Issue .
Mr.. McAdoo took sharp issue with
railroad presidents who have, before
congressional committees and the In
terstate Commerce Commission, made
declarations to the contrary He pre-
sented copies Of letters sent by him
in 1913 to Presidents Rea of the Penn
sylvalia, and Willard of the Baltimore
and Ohio among others, notifying them
he considered their management un-
satisfactory and inefficient.
''The measures taken during the
year 1918 called for no apologies" said
a report signed by A. H. Smith, presi-
dent OF the New York Central, and six
other railroad men, who were re-
gional directors under the railroad ad-
which Mr.. McAdoo pre-
sented as conclusive answer" to the
charges he mentioned "They were
caused by war conditions, and the eff
ficient operations of the railroads in
support of the government during the

Disregarding the unfairness of COM
pairing railroad operations during war
when general needs of the country had
to be put secondary to the "imperious
necessity of war;" Mr. McAdoo said
