C0FFEY RULES
AGAINST CAHILL
IN TITLE CASE
District Judge Decides that
Cahill Had Failed to Qualify
for Office
FAVORS r. b. MURPHY
Future Course of Scrap for
Board of Administration
Appointment Undecided

Jamestown, N: D., Aug. Or. B.
Murphy Of Grafton, and not J. l.
Cahill of Leith, is member Of the
State Board of Administration, ac-
cording to an informal decision
handed down here today by Judge
J. A. Coffey of the Fourth District
court. The decision is in the suit
of the state to determine the right
of Murphy or Cahill to the Office.
The case was heard before Judge
Coffey ten days ago in Bismarck and
both sides submitted briefs. The
state was represented by Attorney
General Johnson and the defense by
C. l.. Crum Of Mandan and VIM. Lam
ger of Bismarck.
Judge Coffey, in his decision de-
clared that Cahill did not qualify for
the Office. II am satisfied that no
oath was administered" says the de-
cision, "that the defendant did not
qualify at the time specified" :
In the course Of his opinion, Judge
Coffey amplified his opinion that Ca
hill was not at any time during the
recent appointment qualified to hold
the Office for which he drew salary
until the 9th day of February when
Governor R. A. Nestos filed letter
with the Secretary of State announ-
cling the withdrawal of the appoint
ment. The final statement of the
Judge is that "he is satisfied that
the oath of Office was not filed with
the Secretary Of State"
MAY QUESTION ACT
But one official act of ]. l. Cahill
is liable to be questioned, according
to state officials whenctold of the de-
cision of Judge Coffey, seating R. b.
Murphy. Most of the decisions Of
the board have been by one-sided
votes The one act is one election
Of Warden L. L. Stair for period
Of two years beginning in April last
This election was by the vote OF
George A. Totten, Robert Muir and
Mr.. Cahill long after the later had
been notified by Governor Nestos
that his appointment had been with
drawn. ."
It is exp p,cted that Mr.. Murphy
will assume, the seat of Mr.. Cahill
on the board of administration, al
though there was issued an injunc-
tion by Judge Berry of Mandan
against interference with Cahill.
The injunctional suit was not for
the purpose Of deciding title to the
Office, however, the suit in district
court here being for that purpose
Attorney LANCER said it was for Ca
hill to decide whether he would re-
sist efforts of Murphy to take the
Office pending decision by the su-
preme court.
Judge Coffey called attention in
his decision to the fact that Mr.. Ca
hill had filed a proper oath of office
when he was appointed In 1921 to fill
out an unexpired term of office and
compared this with the fact tina.
seven months afterwards on August
1st he had testified on the witness
stand that he was uninformed as to
the method of procedure Of qualify
ing for the same Office. .

 ON THEIR TlPTOES

The twelve-round f1stic encounter between Kid Kaplan and Gene Del mont. the sturdy Memphis, Tenn. box CT, scheduled for the State street Casino next Tuesday night, is causing no little talk in local fight circles Del mont is one of the most popular and interesting boxers in the ring. AL though not champion, he is the type of a fighter that the fans long to see. He has met all the headliners fin the featherweight and lightweight divis- ion.
 As for Kaplan, his ability with the padded mitts is very well known here. His recent wins over Kid Wagner, Johnny Shugrue and Andy Chany stamp him as one of the lead ing candidates for the junior light weight honors
 The semi-final bout of ten rounds which will bring together Young Luby, the local seeker and Joe Currie of New Haven, has promise of being a corker. Jim Bones, the best fly weight in the state, will have Spike Marine of New Haven as his ops ponent in eight-round prelimin ary.

  < RENTS ARE COMING
fBY John PoStoIl

On next Tuesday night the Kent An-Collegiate Five of New York will play the local Y. M. H. A. at the Madi- son avenue auditorium. This team is one of the best in and around of New York, and in bringing them here, MT. Lewis, secretary of the Y M. A. H. made a ten-strike as they are in the same class as the Congenial Celtics. The Kent All-Co1legiates defeated the Atlas of New Haven last year and will meet the Original Celtics at a later date. On their roster is Eric Holman, brother of Nat Holman of the Celtics.
 Locals Win Third Straight.
 With Billy Marron. last years ace in the lineup, the Y. M. H. A. five emerged victors over the speedy Silent All Stars, last night at the local Y. M. H. A gym, final score being S9-32.
 It was Billy Marrons first game with the locals this year and he was given a big hand by the fans. His all around playing was largely responsi- ble for the ocals' victory, although came in for no little amount of glory. The visitors took the lead at the start. After five minutes of playing Crossing dropped in the first basket with another. Davy Kaplan then shot insya pretty donble-decker for the To- calls first score. From then on it was anybody's game and at the close of the first half the locals were leading 1S-17.
 The second half found both teams playing at top speed. It was any body's game and was not decided till the last few minutes of play when pretty shooting by Mooney and Mar ron save the locals the necessary points.
 Rube Gordon and Billy Marron scored most for the locals, garnering a total of 2S points between them.
 The blocking by George Wex1er was a feature. His blocking made at least four baskets for the locals.
 Capt. Max Fitelson played his usual brilliant game at guard.
 The wonderful shooting of Crossing and Bsgy was the one redeeming fea- ture of the Silents play.

 At a special meeting the cham ptonShip game between the Young Emmetts of this city and the MitChellS of New Haven, which was won by the local team, was disputed on account of the ref cree calling the game seven min utes before full time.
