RAILWAYS MUST BUILD CROSSINGS mertca'’s Latesi and Greatest “Robinson Crusoe, Jr., comes to the Auditorium for one night only, Mon- day, June 11, with Al Jolson. This Winter Garden production played all spring and summer in New York. The “Robinson ‘Crusoe, Jr.” cast in- cludes Lawrence D'Orsay, Claude Flemming, Frank Carter, Mabel Withee, Kitty Doner, Alexandra Dag- mar, Mile. Isabel Rodriquez and the well known vaudeville combinations of Bowers, Crooker and Walters, in addition to many other Broadway fav- orites, and the far-famed beauty chorus. Al Jolson has a part greatly to his liking in “Friday.” He makes his first appearance as a chauffeur, who accompanies his millionaire employer on a dream visit to the island home of Robinson Crusoe, Friday, as might be expected;'is a droll, worthless sort of character, with a strong penchant for getting into trouble even in such an out of the way place. Cannibals, pirates, sprites and weird animals and reptiles aid and abet him in this, af- fording a decidedly Spectacular back- ground. Pi firmed the finding of the lower, hold- ing ‘that a norder issued by the rail- road board under section 4732 of the compiled laws of 1913 is not demur- rable where it does not appear that the ‘board has exceeded its jurisdic- tion in making such order. Ashley Gets Crossing. The Soo line was defendant in'a similar aciton brought by Ashley. The railway company objected to the opening of a street across its right of way on the grounds that no need for such street existed, and that the WHEN ORDERED I Two North Dakota Companies Lose Out in Contests Before Supreme Court Railways must make provision for crossing when any municipality lays out a street Crossing the tracks of such common carrier, and where com- Pliance with an order to build such crossing involves an expenditure of mony ‘by the railroad company, the latter is not entitled to reimburse- ment’ or compensation, ruled the North Dakota supreme court yester- day in settling two important actions. Iu one the state of North Dakota brought action against the Chicago, Milwaukee &St. Paul to enforce an order of the railway commission for an underground crossing at Marmarth. Judge Crawford, in district court, found for the state. The defendant demurred and the supreme court af- village board had exceeded its author- ity in passing an ordinance extending such street. in the lower court the village won, the decision, and the railway company appealed. The su- preme court, in affirming the verdict of the lower, holds that village boards have authority to pass ordinances ex- tending streets across a railroad right- of-way, ‘through condemnation or oth- erwise, and that municipalities may proceed to extend streets in this man- ner under a general power of appro- priation. The regulatory power conferred up- on the railway commissioners, holds the court, does not detract from’ the power given to village trustees to ex- tend streets ucross railroad rights-of- way. The question of necessity is legislative rather than judicial, and a village ordinance is competent proof of such necessity. “Doug” Fairbanks at the Orpheum and Bismarck tonight, in “The Amer- “Exclusive Lahr Motor Sales Company Service” CITY NATIONAL BANK Resources over a Million and a Quarter Men who are giving their ser- vices to Our Country find them- selves confronted with many problems in arranging their af fairs. To some it is only a question of adjusting the checking account so that other members of the fam- ily may draw money. But many discover-that their prospective pro- longed absence raises complications which need ex- pert banking attention. One of the main objects of this Bank is to aid in every way possible its clients, and to help adjust their affairs. SCOTT A PIGGER BUT NOT FIBGER, Minot Man Wins One Case and Loses Another—Question of Stenographic Notes Peter Scott of Minot is a pigger ‘but not a fibber, rules the supreme court in handing down two decisions in two important appeals which have been made the subject of one or two of Justice Robinson’s Saturday ‘eve- ning letters. jv :u2 Peter Scott was ‘found guilty of blind-pigging in the ae’ county dis- trict court at Mi ee he had ty ait not pigged,’ at action for perjury, i i bed. ‘Scott appealed tons ‘both de- cisions. The supreme court resersed the lower in the perjury case, while it sustained Ward county in the pig- ging conviction. “A single sale,” holds the court, “will warrant a conviction under an information for keeping and main- taining a common nuisance by keep- ing a place where intoxicating liquors are sold as a beverage in violation of the prohibition laws of this state.” COMMENCEMENT: WEEK BEGINS IN JAMES COLLEGE Annual Oratorical Contest Held Last Evening—Postlethwaite Preaches Sunday.
