A HINT FROM BELFIELD
Belfieid, North Dakota,
May 20, 1892.

WAY ~, 1907.
Editor, Tribune:
The police department OF Bismarck
deserves the thanks of the commun-
lty for the superb manner in which
1t handled the crowds during Bishop
Wehrle's Golden Jubilee, and the citi-
zens of the Capital City are to be con-
graduated for the kindness extended
to outside visitors. If single annoy
ing factor existed to mar the happy
occasion it might be found in the
crowded condition of the banquet han.
Apparently six or eight hundred peo-
pie were crowded into a room capable
of seating three or four hundred. The
happy frame Of mind of the banquet
ers. Of course, concealed their true
feelings.
The mattresses worked under a Sc
we're handicap and they needed the as
sistance Of the guests in passing the
food down the long rows of tables.
The guests entered the hall feeling the
effects of strenuous forenoon and
there was decided contraction un-
der their belts.
The elaborate menu and a goodly
supply OF Michigan turkey soon caused
an expansion of waist line and this
did not add to the comfort Of individ-
uals who had never practiced dieting.
True. the ladies were better pre-
pared to stand a seige of this kind as
the modern dress expands with little
difficulty, but the men were laboring
under more ancient and strict rules
that forbade the use of elastic bands.
It was embarrassing indeed when a
blushing male attempted to reach the
top button of a tight-fitting trouser.
Conditions were right for a series
OF fainting spells among the feminine
diners but, true to tradition, they re-
sisted as the stage was not properly
set for swooning. There were too
many tottering figures with gray
boards and bald heads to invite a
physical collapse. When a woman
faints she is reasonably sure that the
brawny arms of youth are in close
proximity, that she may be hoisted
onto sturdy shoulders and carried to
safety while a pair of dainty feet,
shod in silver slippers, cause her ro-
bust sisters pang of envy.
The above condensed statement of
facts should arouse the citizens of
Bismarck to the necessity of provid-
ing a banquet hall capable Of seating
1000 people.
When the new capitol is erected
you will need it.

BRICK VS.. STONE
Bismarck. May 10. 1892.


Editor, Tribune:
Apropos the present controversy be-
tween brick and stone for our new
Capitol building, when we are paying
out good money for the most talented
architectural advice available why
not follow it?
North Dakota is poor just now of
course. But why tell it to the world
for the next SO years? Why perpetu-
ate in the states most impressive
structure more or less temporary
depression, several of which the build
ing will no doubt outlive? We are not
paying for it all right now.
Moreover we have already on the
campus" one building erected of
stone. That should have some con-
sideration. The civic center" at
Grand Forks, erected all of white
stone, makes decidedly pleasing i'm
preston on the stranger.
Very truly yours.

GENEVA Switzerland April IL
Premier Andre Tardieu of France rsn-
resenting his own government at the
Disarmament Conference today assailed
the disarmament proposals advanced
yesterday by Hugh S. Gibson the Amer
lean representative.
Mr.. Gibson proposed that tanks. big
guns and gases be abolished in the in
terests Of security, but he made no mem
ton OF battleships, "the most obvious
aggressive weapon" said M. Tardieu
Abolition of certain types of agpres-
sive arms will not necessarily provide
security he said, but might on the con-
trary be Instantaneous to an invaded
country. The only means to security.
he declared, Il common action against
an aggressor.
This was generally accepted as a re-
statement Of the French proposal for
placing offensive forces at the disposal
Of the League of Nations.
In any case, the premier reminded
the conference this disarmament meet
ing is under the auspices of the League
of Nations, and he suggested non-mem-
bers Of the League keep that in mind.
Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet commissar
for foreign affairs, renewed the Rus
sian plan for reduction Of armies today
Litvinof proposed to reduce all
armies Of above 100000 men, including
Russia's own Red army, so per cent.
Armies Of between SO, 900 and 400 600
men he proposed to cut 5 per cent
and to leave armies below 10000 men
untouched for the present.
He proposed q similar plan for re-
duction OF navies and air forces.

American proposal at the World Dis
armament Conference yesterday to do
away with tanks, mobile heavy artil-

Action OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission permitting operation OF a
ferry across Chesapeake Bay by the
Chesapeake Beach Railway was sus-
tanned yesterday by the United States
Supreme Court.
The jurisdiction OF the Federal COM
mission had been challenged by the
Cla aIborne-Annapolis Ferry Co, which
operates a ferry across the bay from
Annapolis, while the railways ferry
connects Chesapeake Beach with
Trippes Bay in Dorchester County, Md.

Shore Of Chesapeake Bay" the court
held, lacks adequate railroad connec-
