DISPUTED
BY R|CHBERG

CHICAGO, Oct. 20 G.N.SJ.
Donald R. Richberg, consul for
labor unions, today made public
a telegram in which he confirmed
the charge of Senator George w.
Norris that Secretary of Labor
William N. Doak had offered the
labor leader a federal judgeship.
Richberg's telegram to Secre-
tary Doak indicated the Judge
ship had been offered if he
would oppose Senator Norris anti
injunction bill.
Richberg's telegram said:
"YOu have evidently for
gotten that you asked me
whether I would be interested
in a federal judgeship and my
reply that 1 would not accept
an appointment if it were
made. You may recall it if
1 remind you of your state
ment that you could block
promotion of Judge WilkersOn."
Federal Judge James Wilker-
son, of Chicago, was recon-
mended for an appellate judge
ship by President Hoover after
the judge had sentenced AL

mise. Upon reviewing the writ
ten terms of this compromise,
it is evident that my authority
cannot but be diminished and
the entire discipline Of the po-
lice force jeopardized.
IT find myself in the equivo-
cal position of so many other
police chiefs in the United
States, namely, holding posi-
ton of great responsibility but
deprived of the essential author
ity to discharge it without fear
and without favor.
This, I must point out, has
been one of the chief reasons
for difficulties and failures ir
the police departments of too
many of our cities.
THE abrogation of my eff
forts to organize this depart.
ment solely on a basis of ef.
ficiency, without personal or
political favor, leaves Ire IN
an untenable position insofar
as any progress can be made
under my commaEd. Conse-
quently I desire to submit my
resignation effective al once"

PLEA
LIKELY To
Be DENIED
Prosecutor Expected to NolIe'
Prose- Case Despite Call
for Regeneration"

WINSTON SALEM, N. c.,
Oct. 20 (I.N.S.). Libby Hol-
mans demand for exoneration
by a jury trial will in all likeli-
hood be denied, it appeared to-
day. Indications now are that
the State will nolle PROSE- the
present proceedings and con-
tinue it's search for murder evil
dence.
Carlisle Higgins, the State So
licitor. insists he has not as yet
decided on what course he will
take, but there is good reason to
believe that he will accept the Sug.
gestion of the Reynolds family
that the Indictment be Shelved.
This, however, will be for outward
appearances only.
Every effort will then be made
to get Alb Walker to tell the whole
story of what happened that night
at Reynolda, if there really is any
more to tell. If evidence is given
to the State by Alb, then the first
degree murder indictment against
Libby will be revived and he will
take the stand for the prosecu-
ton.
Can Alb Clear Mystery?
Now, it may be that Walker
hasn't concealed anything. But
the Reynolds family doesn't be-
lieve this.
Will Reynolds and his nephew,
Dick, have repeatedly stated that
Alb could clear up the mystery if
he told the truth. The elder Rey-
nolds, in his letter to Carlisle Hig'
gins, the States Solicitor, made
this significant remark:
"Tn my opinion and in that Of
Smiths brother and sisters, the
evidence fails to prove cOnclu-
sively that Smith was MUIR
dered."
The use of the word "con-
clusively" is clear enough indica-
ton that the Reynolds clan is
far from convinced that Libby is
innocent. Will Reynolds and
Dick are emphatic in their belief
that a murder did not take place.
If the State were forced to go
to trial with the case as it stands
now, it seems that Libby would
certainly be turned free. It is
most probable that, at the con-
clusion of the Peoples case, the
presiding judge, upon motion by

PARIS, Oct. 90 QN.S.).
A comparative pauper, and un-

Marquis Boni de Castellane
died today at the age of "a
after a long illness.
Immediate members of his fam

conspicuous absentee was the
Duchess de Talleyrand. who as
Anna Gould married "Boni' in
1895 and thereby launched the
boulevardier on an 11-year spend

throughout the world.
Duchess Unconditional

death from International News

without emotion she thus re-
sponded when told that "Boni"
had passed away.
The duchess, asked if she would
attend the funeral, replied:
"Heavens, no! don't want to
be mixed up in that affair at
all. My souvenirs of that ex-
perience are too unhappy to per
NIT me to attend"
She was asked:
"Are you sending flOwerS?"
She replied:
II don't want to seem hard
hearted, but I'm afraid 1 can't
even do that"
De CaStellane Succumbed to
a paralytic stroke from which he
had been suffering for some time.
Complications set in and he
lowered on deaths edge for more
than a week. He lapSed into a
coma yesterday from which he
did not recover.
TalleyrandS UNLIMITED
Hopes that "Boni's" death might
bring about a reconciliation be-
tween the two branches of one of
Frances oldest families were
dashed when a spokesman for the
De Castellane family announced
that neither the Duke nor the
Duchess de Talleyrand would be
invited to the funeral.
The immediate members of his
family present at the end included
his mother and two brothers,
Jean and Stanislaus.

Refusal Of Crosby to Reduce
Davis Is Believed Reason
for Generals Action

Things moved fast in the
Police Department today.
Early this morning Brig.
Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, SUI
perintendent of police, ten
dered his resignation, effective
at once.
The Commissioners received
the resignation in the first
mail and at non they accepted
it.
Inspector Ernest W. Brown,
assistant superintendent of po-
lice in charge of the Traffic
Bureau, automatically assumed
command of the department by
reason of his seniority.
Successor In "a Hours
General Glassford's successor
will be named within "a hours,
it was learned at the District
Building.
Although the Commissioners
have rot yet issued a statement
regarding the appointment of q
new superintendent, it was I'M
derstood that Inspector Ogden
T. Davis, commander of the
Second Inspection District, will
not be appointed. Previous re.
ports indicated that Davis might
be named.
The refusal of the Commis.
sioners to denote Davis to the
rank of captain at the request OF
General Glassford caused the
superintendent to submit his
resignation.
At Odds for Some Time
Dissension has existed between
Glassford and Davis for many
weeks. After removing Davis az
commander of the crime preven-
ton bureau and detailing him to
the second inspection district.
Glassford appealed to the Com.
missioners to denote him to the
rank of captain.
After less than a years service
as police chief. Glassford resigned
because, he says:
Il have met that impaSse of
political prejudice and personal
favOritiSm that so often inter.

RESTRICT LAND OWNERSHIP
Wino. N. D., April IL, 1882

Wing, N. D., April IL. 1852.
Editor, Tribune:
All the time we hear the call Of
farm relief and give farming the
privileges that other industries have.
In my opinion this time Is pulling
nearer with leaps ana bounds.
How Is It coming, you Will ask ana
what have I to prove IT.
It is coming on the wheels Of mod
ern machinery. In areas where the
larger type Of machinery can be used
farmers are using them to enlarge
profits by quantity production. Guam
tity production with low labor cost Is
making the overproduction IN more
ways than one. The quantity pro-
duced alone does not cause the over
production. But the large machinery
being used forces out the laborer and,
in running his employment, destroys
his buying power. Then, also, the
quantity production forces the small
farmer to other business, and into
areas not adapted to large machinery
because Of their stony, hill or swampy
nature. Many farmers are forced to
ruin or to take to farming other kinds
Of products, thereby creating over
production in other lines.
I will give for an example the
wheat situation. In the southwest
ern states, like Kansas, Nebraska and
Texas, large machinery can b used
to a great advantage, this advantage
being 50 great that they can, even at
present prices, show a profit.
This has forced farmers in many
parts of North and South Dakota
out of wheat farming, so they have
turned from wheat to dairying and
hogs. This has created overproduc-
ton in these lines. This. In turn.
forces more Of the less efficient out
Of farming.
This also will expand the ranks Of
the unemployed. This would con-
tinue to curtail consumption till
there will be left in production so few
men that they can cooperate to the
extent that they will adjust produc-
ton TO consumption.
This Is the unavoidable process
that will take place II something
isn't done to stop 1t. Because the
survival Of the fittest Is the only law
that will survive without our assist
ance. And we shudder to think what
would happen to the weakest during
this process.
Well. what can We do to prevent
this process from going on? Should
we stop making machinery or make
Its use illegal? My answer is NO
We should not make machinery any
more, illegal than fire. They both
are blessing to humanity when pro-
|perly controlled, but II let loose will
destroy it.
How could the machinery be best
controlled?
Being brought up on the farm ]
can answer it best in its relation to
farming.
There is only one thing in the U
S. or any other country that can.
not be imported, manufactured
mined, coined or grown. That thins
is the land. II we would limit the
amount Of land, each person can &c,
q hold of we limit everything. These
limits should be adjusted according
to the productiveness Of the land. Ii

my idea, according to the same prin-
ciple as the hornesteads, such aS agri-
cultural, dry farming and grazing
lands.
I believe that the limits should be
somewhat greater than in the home
|Stead law.
The benefits Of these limits would
not be limited to the farmers.
They would benefit the farm ma
chinery manufacturers and their
workers.
For many small farmers would
need more machinery than q few big
ones and it would take more work to
make many small ones. than few
big ones.
And then the benefit would pass
! through trade all over.
