General Work recommended to Pres

At the same time the Postmaster
General, who retires from his pres

Secretary Of the Interior, recon-
mended that present regulations re-
quiring examination of postoffice
candidates by the Civil Service Com
mission be abandoned.
The postoffice department is a
strictly business organization and ii
ought to be aided in putting the
right men in the right place, as any
private business concern would en-
deavor to do for it's own advance
ment, and not be handicapped either
by political considerations ior by
the restrictions entailed in the pres

STATE BEGINS
EVIDENCE IN
MURDER CASE
Seeks to Weave Chain of Cir
cumstantial Evidence
Around Schneider
EXHAUST JURY PANEL
FOrty.One Persons Called Be-
fore Twelve Are Obtained
To Try Case
EXHAUST JURY PANEL

The state began weaving its chain
of evidence in the Kasimir Schneider
murder trial in district court here
today, starting out from the first to
draw it tightly around Schneider so
that no reas enable doubt would be-
left in the mind of the twelve Jurors
sitting in the case. At the prelm-
mary hearing the evidence of the
state was chiefly circumstantial, and
the prosecutors have not divulged
any further testimony that they may
offer at the trial now before Judge
Jansonius.
The jury was secured after two
days, during which the panel of 36
regular talesmen was exhausted, and
a special call for five more was nece.
sary. The selection of the jury be-
ing concluded last night, taking of
evidence began today.
The court room was crowded this
morning when former Coroner H. J.
Stroke took the stand as the first
witness, many of the spectators be-
ing neighbors of the Schneider south
side home, where his wife died early
last June.
Tells of Call.
Coroner Stroke described his call
to the house after her death, his
decision to order an autopsy because
no physician was present when sh.
died, and the acts taken to this end
and the sending of the stomach to
the state laboratory at Grand Forks
for analysis.
DR.. G. R. Lipp was the second wit
ness on the stand. He was question

POLITICAL CALENDAR BIG One,

DEMOCRATS, ALL HAVE SESSIONS
And There Is Also the Third
Party Rumor in the Offing
Both Sides Beginning
to Check up the Political
Results of This Session Of
the Legislature and TO Draw
Lines for Future Battles.

The political calendar is just as
well filled as the legislative calendar
as the assembly session nears the
end.
With one political meeting COM
pleted over the week end, another was
held last night, the NOnpartisans
meet Friday and Saturday and the
Democratic state committee meets
Saturday.
In addition there is that elusive
thing--a third part"-flirting around
on the current of political gossip. A
lot of politicians would not be sur
prsed at anything definite that may
come up.
The call for the meeting of the
Democratic state committee was dis
patched last night by Secretary
Henry Holt of Grand Forks on the
authority of Chairman G. S. Wool
edge of Minot, according to word
here. The Democrats will settle in
the meeting whether or not the action
of the state executive committee ma.
jority in opposing the non-political
ballot election law will be sustained
or repudiated.
Fifteen members of the state COM
mittee and all Of the independent
Democratic members of the legisla-
ture had signed a petition for the
call.
Want Referendum.
The Republican state executive
committee, as controlled by the Nom
partisan League, met here last night
with Chairman R. w. Frazier of the
state committee. The majority of the
committee was present and favors
submiss ssion Of the election laws to a
vote of the people, Mr. Frazier said.
They would be submitted at the No
yember election in 1924.
If 1000 petitioners ask a law b.
referred its effects is held up until
after the vote, so that in case Of an
election the ballots will not be
changed in the 1924 election.

at that time in order to avoid tho

cation the latter part Of March it

Gov. Hardee several months ago
forwarded to the circuit court Of
fcials of Perry county. documentary
evidence of Tabert's death gathered
by an attorney who was sent to Flor
ida as representative of the North
Dakota government.
The executive would not go into
the nature of the evidence.
Tabert, a youngster viewing the
world "from an outdoor pullman
was convicted in county court here
in Dec. Is, 1921, on charge of vag
rancy and sentenced to pay fine of
$25 or serve a month in prison.
Subsequently he was leased to the
Putnam Lumber company at Perry,
Florida. He died Feb. !, and re-
port made by lumber company un-
der date of Feb. gave the cause

His relatives were not known, the
report said, and the lumber buried
him at Perry.
Commissioner of Agriculture w. A.
McRae, recently cited the boys
death as another indication against
the system of leasing county convicts.
He has made known that he would
again go before the legislature and
urge that the practice be abolished.
Gov. Hardee, too, has expressed
"the hope that the legislature would
do away with it.
Local attorneys representing the
family of Tabert have announced
that they will enter suit against the
company growing out of his death.

(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. %. -
Convinced that half a dozen
aspirants already are making
cautious overtures to test
their strength as Republican
presidential possibilities for
1924, some of the friends of
President Harding have be-
gun work to assure him a re-
nomination.
Thus far the movement on
behalf of the President has
not reached proportions of a
closely knit organization. but
it has progressed to a point
where it promises to make it.
self felt in many states before
long.
The attitude of Mr.. Hard
ing himself toward a second
term remains unknown, but
it is considered improbable
that he will make any public
statement of his intentions,
at least in the near future.
There is quite general
agreement among those in the
inner circle of Washington
politics, however, that a pub
lie statement of his steward
ship will impel him to stand
for reelection. 1t is upon
this presumption, at any rate,
that those who want to see
him remain in the White
House for another four years
are proceeding. Included in
the group at the conference
here are some of the men who
led the successful pre-conven-
tion campaign of 1920 and
some who came over to the
Harding ranks from other
camps after the convention
was over.
AS a result of the ultimate
lineup of the Harding forces
of 1924 it is expected to re-
semble only in part the or
ganiZation that fought and
triumphed in the fight three
years ago.
Attorney-General Daugher-
ty, who was the pre-conven-
tion manager prior to 1920, is
expected to take a hand in
urging his denomination but
for several reasons Mr..
Daugherty is not expected by
his friends to be as active as
he was in 1920. His health
recently failed him, requiring
him to remain in bed for sew
eral weeks, and although he
has recovered he is not ex-
pected to take the burden
which would entail much
travelling.
Several men who have been prom
inent in party affairs have been men,
toned as available for the work of
organizations; Charles D. Hilles. for
mer national chairman, is one Of
those considered but he has made no
statement so far az to what part he
would be willing to take in pre-con-
vention work.
In the background lies the question
of who is to manage the Republican
campaign. Supporters of John L.
Adams, the present chairman, say
that they expect /. m to retain that
post regardless of the results of the
nominating convention. Discussion
of the subject here recently has
brought to life, however, an attempt
by friends of Will H. Hayes, who
managed the 1920 campaign to rein
state him in the craftsmanship.
