witnesses which desired to appear
were heard.
Among others who opposed the
nomination were former Senator A. J.
Gronna Of North Dakota. '."
The subcommittee after taking
testimony made favorable report to
the full committee, where new charges
were encountered and the nomination
was referred back to them for further
inquiry. Additional witnesses APP
peared but the storm Of last Satur-
day prevented others from reaching
Washington and ended the hearings.
1t was reported by those who at
tended the executive hearings Of the
committee that the opposition to Mr..
Miller was based in part on his alleged
attitude during the war but it was
understood that committee members
felt such charges had not been sub
stantiated.

OF ANDREW
MILLER, FEDERAL. JUDGE,
CONFIRMED BY SEN ATE

Bismarck, Feb. 4.-Andrew Miller,
whose appointment as United States
District Judge for North Dakota, was
confirmed by the United States Sen
ate in executive session, Feb. 2, is ex-
pected to return to Bismarck next
week. Mr.. Miller, it was expected,
would confer with the Department of
Justice before leaving Washington
and perhaps take the oath Of office.
He planned to stop off at Chicago to
visit his son and likely will stop in
Fargo to confer with court officials
and to go over the calendar.
The federal court calendar, which
Judge Miller will handle, is crowded.
Because Of the illness Of Judge Ami
don and the difficulty of getting other
federal judges to hold long terms of
court in North Dakota, there is mass
of business accumulated. Many per-
sons are said to have been in Jail for
months because of the fact that there
had been no court session to dispose
of their cases.
Under the terms of the bill which
created the judgeship in North Da-
kota, Mr.. Miller will be known as as
sociate district judge until the retire
ment Of Judge Amidon when he be-
comes the only federal judge in the
state. The appointment as federal
Judge is for life, at a salary of $500
a year.
Other Appointments
A thorough reorganization Of the
court machinery in North Dakota is
expected to follow. The appointment
of M. L. Mcbride as United States
District Attorney and James Shea
as U. S. Marshal are expected to come
soon according to word from Wash
ington. They will replace the present
Democratic office holders.
The position of federal Judge is not
the first public office which Mr.. Miller
will have held. He had held minor
offices in Iowa as young man before
coming to North Dakota and was At
torney General of the state for two
terms.
Confirmation of Mr.. Miller had been
opposed by the clean court committee
of North Dakota which filed with a

Minneapolis, Feb. 5.-Rabbit steaks,
outlets and spareribs-rabbit fricassee
all gratin and la King-rabbits
served up in every mode and style
known to chefs since the first rabbit
was put over the fire for prehistoric
mans evening dinner, are going to
help solve the problem of feeding the
hungry and unemployed at the Union
City mission in Minneapolis, Rev. w.
E. Paul, superintendent, announced
yesterday. .s- &.,
An offer made by officials of the
Great Northern railroad to transport
without charge all shipments of rab-
bits from North Dakota addressed to
the Union City mission in Minneapolis
has been accepted by the mission as a
means of supplementing the food sup
ply required to feed more than 1000
unemployed men each day. The num-
Der Of meals served daily at the Union
City mission is approximately 1000,
Mr.. Paul said, and of that number by
far the most are free meals.
Because of the prevalence of rab-
bits in North Dakota this winter, bust
ness men and farmers in that state are
planning rabbit hunts.
Mr.. Paul said he expected the first
shipment Of rabbits this week. In
the meantime the chefs of the Union
City mission are porting over cook
books to acquaint themselves with all
the different ways in which rabbit
may be prepared so than even the
most unerring palate cannot recog-
nize it.

William LANCER, former Attorney
General, who engaged in series of
