HUMAN HEAD
HOAX FOOLS
BISMARCK MAN

Hugo Holland, employed by the
Hughes Electric Company, while
driving along Avenue A this
morning, saw through the soil on
the boulevard at the corner of
Fourth street and Avenue A.
what looked like a human head
be-spattered with blood. From
a distance it appeared to be the
hasty grave of body. He jump
ed from his wagon and digging
up the object found clay bust
fashioned after death mask.
Some practical joker had smear
ed the clay model of human
head over with red paint.
The matter doubtless will be
called to the attention of the po-
lice department for investigation.

WOULD BOOST
S0LONS' PAY

Senator A. A. Peck, Nonpartisan
of Mclean county evidently believes
that the laborer is worthy of his
hire. and also that the labors of the
legislators are worthy of a higher
hire than the state pays.
So he introduced in the senate a
concurrent resolution for the submis-
sion of constitutional amendment
which would raise the pay of the
state solons from five dollars to
eight dollars per day..
The. resolution was referred to the
committee on state affairs.

Lands charged into the joint
meeting of the two leagues last
winter and asked in substance
>"Do you want me, or do you pre-
fer that Johnson? Here's my con-
tract. Tear it up if you wish"
The American League, figuring,
perhaps, that the time was not
ripe, gave Johnson verbal spank
ing, jerked him off the advisory
council and told him he would get
the can if he didn't keep his
mouth shut.
One year passed and Johnson
followed orders. Then he earned
as his reward new contract for
$4,000 a year running until

missioner form of government
adopted to save baseball after the
exposition of the Chicago Whitt
Sox scandal in 1920, may be shell
we'd in favor of the old commission
form when the contract of Com
missioner Landis expires in 1927
Before the life of the game was
threatened by the treachery of the
Chicago players in throwing the
1919 worlds series to the Cincin-
natl Reds, baseball was admins
tered by a National Commission
consisting of Gary Hermann, Gin
cinnati, chairman; John A. Hey
dler. president of the National
League, and Ban Johnson, presi-
dent of the American League.
|. The disclosure of the crooked
work of the White Sox brought
about such an emergency that the
major league club owners were
forced to extremities to regain the
conf dence Of the public in their
business.
It as realized that the public
thought the officials in charge of
the game had been lax in the ad-
ministrat;on of their duties and it
was decided to get some prominent
fan with big name to take alb
ssolute- charge of the game.
Landis, who was then judge
on the Federal bench in Chicago,
and who &had gained notoriety by
filming the Standard Oil Company
s$29,000,000, was offered the job
with contract for seven years at
>$50,00O a'year.
Lands accepted and tried to
handle both jobs. The bar assocla-
tions and the legal profession
opened fire on him but he held his
ground until it became apparent
that he wasn't quitting under the
fire and he then resigned from
the bench to devote all his time to
the commissioners office.
Since he took charge of base
ball the game has flourished and
it regained so much of the public's
confidence that another scandal,
the Dolan-O'Connell case last fall,
hwas quickly forgotten.
Lands, of course, deserves some
credit for this, but there are
many baseball men who insist that
it was Babe Ruth who brought
the game back from what Andy
Freedman. former president of the
New York Giants, referred to once
as the "brink of the abscess."
The home run club Of the Babe
had lust as much to do with the
killing of the 1919 scandal talk
as the iron voice of the commits
sioner.
Baseball is now in such a pros
perous condition that some Of the
magnates feel that the period OF
emergency, such as the boys were
signed for during the war. has
been passed and that S5O,OOO a
wear is a lot Of money to pay
to a boss for the transaction Oh
routine office business.
1t was to be expected that
when anv move was made 20
abolish the position of commits
sioner, it would be made by the
American League. :,
The National League conceived
the idea of the new form of gov
ernnent in 1920 and forced it up
on the American League with
threat to form a new league con-
yisting of the eight National
League clubs and the Chicago:
Boston and New York clubs OF
the American League.
Since then several of the Amerl-
can League magnates have been
frettine privately and complaining
that Lands was bound by the duty
Of gratitude to decide for the Ma
tional League on close plays.

Thirty-fve days, said Mr.. Camp

bridge is opened to traffic.
The concrete hand rails have not

This bridge, which really means the
open sesame to the Shoshone canyon,
is 115 feet clear, in length, with a
twenty-foot approach on the east end.
The roadway is twenty feet wide, and
the height of the bridge is t~hirty-fve
