TO STATE
PERTINENCY OF
SINCLAIR QUIZ
Defense Fights Hard to
Leave 1t To Jury

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Harry
T. Sinclair, lessee Of Teapot Dome,
and central figure In series Of oil
scandals that involve high officials
of the Government suffered a serious
blow today in his trial for contempt.
Justice H. Hitz, Of the District
Supreme Court, ruled today that the
question of pertinency in the ques-
lions which Sinclair refused to
answer before the Senate Oil Com
mittee, was a question of law for the
court and not a point of fact for the
jury.
Day of Argument.
The entire day had been given to
argument on the point, the defense
contending that the jury should decide
the materiality of the questions.
The jury has now only TO deliberate
upon the facts of the case which are
admitted by both sides.
The defense had conferred its whole
effort upon an attempt to place the
issue of relevancy before the jurors.
Would Save Fall.
Sinclair is on trial for refusal to
answer seven questions propounded
by the Senate Oil Investigating Com
mittee in March 1924, relating to the
leasing negotiations with former
secretary Of the Interior Albert B,
Fall in 1922.
In concluding the prosecutions
case, District Attorney Peyton Cor
don was blocked in his fourth attempt
to place before the jury the story be-
hind the questions of the senate in
vestigators.
The governments trial record in
cluded only the admitted facts in tbs
case, namely that Sinclair declined
to answer certain questions.

THE end does not always justify

near it in the case of Marian Meyers,
a pretty coed Of the University Of
South Dakota who was caught con-
templating a bank robbery to pay
her way through school. She was
given a prison sentence of thirty days.
Miss Meyers was sitting in the bank
building with her burglars kit by her
side, when she was apprehended.
Thirty days for such an offense is
not bad. The girl may have been
suffering from a delusion that she
was bank president.

Not Disheartened.

MARK STONE.-"I am deeply
shocked at the untimely death of C.
E. Ruthenberg. With the death of
this great organizer and leader the
labor movement and especially the
foreign-born workers of this country
have lost a warm-hearted friend and
an active fighter in their behalf.
HE was always in the forefront
of the trade union movement. Dur
ing the world war when the workers
were thrown headlong into the inter-
national slaughter pit to get profits
for the capitalist class, he bravely
faced the barons who were rcspons-
ible for the war. He was bounded
from pillar to post for daring to OPP
pose their bloody and vicious rule
and for pointing out to the working
class the real meaning of bourgeois
militarism.
'For this deep devotion to the ia-
terests Of the working class the capt.
talist dictators sent him to Jail and
prosecuted him. But the capitalist
class will in time be brought before
the bar Of proletarian justice and
dealt with accordingly. The working
class will not be disheartened by the
death of Comrade Ruthenberg, but
will adhere to his principles and
carry on his fight against capital

ENGLISH WORK

DR.. Aurelia Reinhardt Says
Mother Tongue Teachers
Have Inspiring Task

DR.. Aurclia Rcinhardt Of Oakland
Calf. president of Mills College,
was the principal speaker at the
meeting Of the department Of Eng
lish held Wednesday afternoon as a
part of the program Of the North
Dakota Education association.
Dr.. Rcinhardt, in addressing the
meeting on the subject "The Eng
lish Teacher at Play" said that the
teaching of English was profess
sion where work is play, and that it
should be delight at all times to
teach the mother tongue.
Task Is Inspiri;ing
The English teacher has the most
inspiriting task in the entire school
curriculum, as she inspires the crea-
tive and aWakens the imagination,
/ DR.. Reinhardt said. In giving the
difference between work and play
she explained that work is a proc
ess in which the immediate steps
are taken on faith while the results
bring Joy; play is something in
which the means is as much fun as
the end.
/ DR.. Reinhardt pointed out, how
ever, that all steps in the educational
process are not play. The JOY Of
teaching English comes in the bring
ing of stories, lyrics, and dramatiza-
tions into real life, she avcrred.
Grammar and rhetoric can he
made interesting to the pupil, DR.
Reinhardt said, as fundamentals
', similar to the bones and sinews of
the human body. In order to master
, these fundamentals they should be
taught to the children while they
are very young. DR.. Reinhardt men

are allong her earliest memories.

Recommends Drama Use
Ir. Reinhardt recommended thu
use Of drama in the teaching Of Eng

her address she declared that the
