REGISTER WAITS INDUCTION
Walla's Attorneys Will Move to
0uash Charges Against the
Former Hotel Cashier

Action OF Judge James A. Coffey
yesterday In quashing Burletgh county
grand jury indictments against four
former officers Of the closed Bis
marck Bank has caused the contemp-
lation Of other defendants to pre-
sent motions In district court to
quash indictments against them re-
turned by that body.
No further action by the state is at
present planned in connection with
tho indictments. according to r. E.
McCurdy, states attorney. In a
statement made this morning. He
said that the cases against the bank
officials were outlawed yesterday by
the statute Of limitations and that
as far as he could see the states case
against them was dropped.
John Knauf. jamestown attorney
who aided the grand jury In its in
vestigation as q special assistant at
torney general. left for his home last
night following the session in dis
trict court In which the bank indict-
ments were QuaShed.
Judge Coffey also returned to
Jamestown last night and 1t is as
sumed that the term Of court will not
be resumed until r. G.. Mcfarland,
Coffey's successor, takes office Mon
day.
Waits For State
Scott Cameron, one Of the attor-
neys who defended Ray Potter In his
trial on q charge Of first degree mur-
der. said today that he contemplated
no action to have the indictment
against Potter quashed. He said that
he will do nothing on the case until
the state makes its next move. The
Jury disagreed in the first trial Of
Potter.
George s. Register. who succeeds
r. E. McCurdy as Burleigh county
states attorney Monday, said this
morning that he had no official an
nouncements to make regarding the
states other cases until he had Z
chance to review the cases. He said

grand larceny, said today that they
are preparing an action to have Wal

Washington, Jan. 4.-(AP)-Single
handedly championing the Kellogg
peace past before the senate today,
Chairman Borah Of the foreign rela-
tions committee warned that II we
don't find . way to preserve peace.
civilization Is imperiled as 1t has not
been since the evening Of the dark
ages"
Summing up arguments against
the treaty which would peldge the
nations Of the world to renounce wal,
he asserted that:
The Monroe doctrine Is q part Of
Americas policy Of self defense and
thereby would be protected under
adherence to the treaty by nations
inalienable right to self defense.
Correspondence Of the other me-
tions In connection with the treaty
are not q part OF the treaty and
therefore can have no effect on the
treaty.
No sanctions, stated or implied. are
involved in the treaty which would
force the United States to Join In
punishing offending nations.
Senator Borah brought the treaty
before the Senate late yesterday with
out even skirmish by the naval con-
struction bill advocates who have
agreed to Sidetrack their measure for
reasonable time to permit action
on the pact. He propelled the docu-
ment renouncing war on It's way In q
two hour address which went over
until today when debate developed.
Senator Borah will fund his princi-
pal opposition In his old ally In the
fight against the League Of Nations
and the World Court. the silver
haired Senator Reed, Democrat. Mis-
souri,. who listened intently to yester-
days proceedings.
Nc Need Of Force
Anticipating opposing arguments,
the ldahoan yesterday contended that
the correspondence Of the other world
powers In accepting the pact had not
modified or changed the treaty in the
slightest. There Is no strength, he
argued, in contentious that the sigma
tory nations would be bound to exert
force in enforcing the treaty.
4AAC tAO0Vy ~ 4AA4OV w OVA4CAN4CA VOp A4C
declared. as having encroached In any
degre upon the right Of every nation
Of self defense. For that reason he
saw no harm in the paragraph Of q
British note on the treaty which stip-
ulated that the British reserved the
right to protect its territories.
War Justifiable
Under questioning by Senator john
son. Republican. Of California. and
Senator Reed he stated his belief that
the Spanish American war could have
been waged justifiably with the treaty
In operation.
TO other questioners. he replied
that the treaty could not, In his opin-
lon, impair In any way the rights Of
this nation as declared In the Monroe
Doctrine.
Certainly 1t Is not contended," he
said, that the language Of this treaty
calls Tor force: st refutes any such po-
sition. We must remember that the
philosophy Of this treaty Is not Of
preventing war but Of organizing
peace"
