===|THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE THIRTY-NINTH YEAR, NO. 242. BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA TUESDAY, OCT. 21, 1919. SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS RIGHT OF STATE SUPERINTENDENT. T0 DEVISE COURSE OF STUDY; High Tribunal in Double-Jointed tion Restraining Townley Administration Commission From Interfering With Miss Nielson, But. Reserves to Her Certain Constitutional Powers Bearing Upon Prescribing of Cur- riculums. The state of North Dakota the board of administration cannot wrest from Miss Minnie J. Nielson, state superintendent of public instruction, the right to fix the coursé of study for the public schools of the state, (subject to review and supervision by the board of administration), but is denied a writ restraining the board of administration from inter- fering with Miss Nielson in her exercise of this privilege in a four- to-one decision handed down by evening. The decision is concurred in by Associate Justice Bird- zell, Bronson, Grace and Robinson. Chief Justice A. M. Christian- son dissents and is preparing an opinion expressing his views. The supreme court holds that the legislature, pursuant to constitutional authority and excepting as restricted by constitu- tional limitations, possesses the power to regulate the educational system and public schools of this state and to prescribe the courses of study in such schools. Board of Administration Upheld The board of gdministration act, S. B. 134, enacted by. the assembly of 1919 and referred to and approved by the people of the state at a special election last June, so far as the same grants the specific power to the board of administration to su- pervise and control the: prepara- tion of the courses of study in the dommon schools of the state is not unconstitutional upon the ground that it interferes with and takes from the superintend- ent of public instruction prerog- atives possessed as a constitu- tional officer, holds the court. The court rules that the su- perintendent of public: instruc- tion has no constitutional power or inherent right to prescribe and prepare the courses of study for the common schools of the state. This right, pursuant to direct constitutional provision, says the court, has been granted to the legislature. The case of ex parte Corliss, cited by the state, is distinguished and held not in point. i STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION Tn applying legal)rules. of statutory construction, the object intendéd to be accomplished should be Considered, says the court’s syllabus. In consider- ing conflicting statuatory provisions, it continues, the main object. to be kept in view, the court’ continues, is the as- certainment of the legislative intent. This. legislative intent may be deter- mined from a general consideration of the whole act, with the established rolicy of the legislature, as “disclosed by the general course of legislation. “In connection with the application of Such rules of statutory construction, whereby specific power has been granted, in a statute toa board of ad- ministration with which a general res- ervation therein concerning the duties and powers of the superintendent of. jublic instruction is inconsistent, the s1ecific power so granted w:il prevail over the general reservation stated. “In 1919, pursuant to S. B. 134, the legislative assembly enacted the board of administration bill wherein there is specifically granted ‘to: such’ board ‘the power to have charge and supervision of the preparation of courses jof. study. for the several classes of public schools; however, in section 9 thereof, it'is provided ‘that the powers and duties of the superintendent of public iustruction shall be subject to the su- pervision and control of such board cily-in so far aS such ‘powers and duties were by law subject to the su- pervision’ and, control of the state board of education and other boards to whose powers such board of admin- istration succeeded. ~' “Upon an original application by the Superintendent of public instruction to compel such board to refrain from in- vestigating, preparing and prescribing courses of study for the common schools of the’state, the same being a power and duty’ theretofore possessed by such superintendent, it is held upon legal construction of ‘the intent and purpose of the act in regard to the rreparation and prescription of the courses of study for the common schools of the state that the superintendent of public instruction possesses the power and duty to prepare and prescribe courses of study for the common schools of the state, subject to the power of supervision and control by such board of administration, pursuant to the specific power therefore granted in the act. “Original application for prohibition and injunction against state board of administration by the attorney gen- eral and the superintendent of public instruction denied.” The opinion. of the court is written by Judge Bronson, George BE; Wallace, state tax commissioner, and Joseph Coghlan, employed .in the supreme court library, were attorneys for the board ‘of adiministration. Attorney General Langer and Assistant Attor- ney General FE. B, Cox represented the state. BFR VICTORY FOR MISS NYRLSON For all practical purposes, the decis- * fon of the supreme court in the, course of study case is held an empty victory Me Miss Minnie J. Nielson, state su- Yerintendent of public instruction, against whom, the Townley forces, headed by the two Macdonalds and Governor Frazier, have waged an un- ceasing war since her election by a niejority of 8.000 over Neil C.

ENTHUSIASM IN FARMER CREW ENTRAINED HERE Sober - Faced Agriculturists Board “Governor’s Special” for Gate City FEW JOIN AT JAMESTOWN The “Governor Frazier Special,” yhich left Bismarck this morning at! 7:30 o'clock, carried with it about four or five men from Mandan to the Non- partisan’ rally at, Fargo today about 85 men, mostly farmers mn this city. At Jamestown, according to reports reaching here shortly before xoon, only a few people. boarded the train, \ Governor Lynn J. Fazier led the it was‘estimated that about 25 of the §5 from Bismarck were on the state’s payroll in some position or other. In the semi-gloom which shrouded the railroad station at this early hour, it Was, impossible’ to distinguish: a’ single prominent man or woman from ‘this city, all of those other than office- holders being farmers from the sur- rounding country Who droye to the cupitol city in automobiles or came here over the north and .south Soo, NOE MUCH ENTHUSIASM * It was plainly evident that when the special train left Bismarck there was not the whole-hearted — enthusiasm which the promoters of the trip had expected and hoped for. ‘The farmers, particularly, were silent and con- versed with on another in subdued tones. No decorations or banners were placed on the cars of the special train te advertise the mission on which the Inen were going, “It looks more like these men are going to ask questions ‘first and act afterward, rather than be led like Sheep by Townley, Mills and Lemke. ond put up their money without a mur- mur.or voice in the proceedings,” said one of the few that had gathered to see the special train leave on its trip eastward. ‘The special train will reach Fargo thig,,afternoon and will make the re- turn, trip, to. Bismarck immediately efter the evening session tonight. If it had'\not been for the state officials at the capitol. providing this special train, it is believed that there would have been only a mere handful of peo- ple from this city who would have at- tended the Fargo meetings, Something’ Rotten in Denmark, Assert Returned Tourists New York, Oct. 21—Food estimated to be worth millions of dollars is rot- ting in Denmark and prices have in- creased from 50 to 250 percent be- cause of a harbor strike in Copenhag- en according to passengers who landed today. More ‘than 500 passengers had been delayed six weeks in leaving Copenhagen. SPECIAL SESSION TO BE: DEFERRED Frazier’s Change of Election Date Means Delay Governor Frazier’s action, on advice from Secretary of State Hall, in post- poning the special election to be held in Towner county for the election of a senator to succeed, the late A. 8. Gib- bens, is taken to indicate that no spe- ‘inl session is likely before’ the last of November, The governor originally set the Towner county election for October 31. He shoved the daté for- ward 25 days when notified by Secre- tary of State Hall of a provision in the election laws requiring that notice of elections be given by publication once each week for four-successive weeks. It is hardly believed that the governor will conyene ‘the legislature in extraordinary assembly until after a new member of the upper house has been named from Towner, where, un- Jess there has been a decided slump, the league’s chances of gaining a mem- ber would be about’fifty-fifty. Gibbons defeated C, P, Peterson, a league house leader, there last fall, but there are few men who could make the’ race Gib- bens did, SOVIETS SLOWLY RETIRE BEFORE ALL RUSS ARMY Onward March of Republican | Forces Continues to Push Back Lenine Reds PETROGRAD IS ABANDONED Chief of Bolsheviki Flees to Save His Skin—America Asked to Send Food London, Oct. 21—Forces of the Rus- sian Soviet government are being slowly driven back, to their last de- fenses in front of Petrograd. General Yudentich has captured Bulkova about seven miles south of the city and Li- gova less than eight miles to the south west according to unofficial reports. Bolsheviki troops are apparently formed along the Petrograd-Lugapskov railroad, where they are stubbornly contesting each attempt of Yudenitch’s forces to drive eastward. Soviet forces seem still to be hold- ing the coastal region west of Petro- grad, a Helsingfors dispatch telling of a duel between an anti-Bolsheviki fleet and the fort at Krasnaia Gorka. YUDENITCH MEETS RESISTANCE HelsingforsjFinland, Oct. 21—Gen- eral Yudenitch has encountered strong Bolsheviki resistance beyond Putkova. about seven miles south of Petrograd and has halted his advance to con- centrate his forces while awaiting re- inforcements of heavy artillery. One hundred guns reached his army today. BOLSHEVIK] CHIEF WITHDRAWS Amsterdam, Oct. 21—Commissary Zinoviess, the Chief Bolsheviki gov- ernment representative in Petrograd, has withdrawn from that city taking with him all men able to bear arms ac- cording to reports to the German press. The official documents and cash it is declared have been taken to ‘Moscow. BOLSHEVIK! FORCE DISPERSED ‘Helsingfors, Oct. 21—The Bolsheviki forces concentrated at Gdoff on Lake Peipus which constituted a most seri- ous threat to the rear of General Yudenitch have heen dispersed. . This removes the menace of an ad- vance against the communication of the anti-Bolsheviki forces ‘before Pet- rograd now, which War ‘Minister Trot- sky was reported to have declaredre- cently would decide the fate of the city rather than the defense of the old capital itself. ASK FOQD. FOR PETROGRAD Stockolm,’ Oct. 21—The Unite States Minister here, I. N. Morris, has]; received by telegraph a request from General Yudenitch and Premier Liano- zow of the government of northwest ‘Russia, urging the United States to send food and other necessities for Petrograd which General Yudenitch said he expected to take today. The request was fodwarded to Washington. Premier Jianozow’s dispatch assert- ed that General Yudentich’s troops on Saturday last were only five miles fiom Petrograd. BIG DAMAGE SUIT IS TAKEN TO U. S.

He sustained fractures of the leg-and other injuries from which he claims he is maimed and crippled. Brakeman Killed’ in N. P.

LITLE KNOWN OF STATE MILL PLAN SAYS SECRETARY Anderson Declares Nothing Has Been Definitely Decided by Board SIZE OF PLANT QUESTION May Be a Million-Dollar Institu- tion or It May Cost Only $200,000 Whether the’ fifst terminal elevator and flour mill to be-established by the league with the state’s money—probab- Jy at Grand Forks—will cost $400,000 cr $800,000 or $2,000,000; whether it will employ ten or twenty men ot two thousand ; whether its output will be ten barrels per day or ten thousand; whether the elevator capacity will be 1u0 bushels ore 10,000,000 is a matter with which Secretary Anderson of the state Industrial commission is not con- versant, “I may have some personal ideas on the subject,” said Mr. Anderson today, ‘but they would not be authentic or fothcial, and they might prove to be jvery far trom the truth. I do not kvow that the industrial commission hes ever announced any decision on is pot, There is no. formal pro- ectus or other printed matter to in- icate what the commission’s plans if | may be. Mr. McGovern may have a plan worked out, but if. so, I know} nothing of it.” , NO LOCATION YET “So far as I know,” continued Secre- tery, Anderson, “the commission has, taken no nite, action on the selec-! tion of a site, If such action,has been taken: it is without my knowledge, and the tiles “do not reveal it The com- ission has no meeting scheduled for is week, but it may mect at any date on call.” Grand Forks is quite confident that it is to have the first mill and elevator. This matter. may be decided at Fargo today or tomorrow. Commissioner John N, Hagen, a member of the in- dustrial commission, has been in the Gate City for se I days, and he was joined there today by Governor Fra- mer, chairman of the board, AS a majo of the- board's membership, these two may officially take any ac- tion which they m: dee proper Langer, who is the third member of the commission. Mr, Langer is not in Fargo today, although he is still a Nonpartisan leaguer, so far as any de- aration of his to the contrary is con- cerned, and, as such, would be eligible tu attend the mass mecting. The Nonpartisan press in seeking to stimulate rivalry between the cities of the state for the location of the first mill and elevator has pictared state enterprise aS an industry which would employ hundreds of men and which would build up a city of thou- sands. To establish a mill and eleva- tor employing even 100 men would: re- quire a big investment. FIRST ’FRISCO FLIER RETURNS San Francisco, Oct. 21.—Capt. Lowell H.

C., Oct. 21—Presi- dent Wilson despite his illness took a personal hand in the National Indust- rial conference today in an effort to a- vert a break which is threatened as a result of the inability of the capital and labor groups to reach a satisfact- ory agreement on the collective bar- gaining issue. In a six hundred word letter to Sec- retary Lane, Chairman of the confer- ence dictated from -his sick bed the President outlined his views as to the conference situation. The letter was immediately dispatched to Mr. Lane who it was explained was to use it at his discretion. The conference was not in session when Mr. Lane received the communi- cation having met at 10:15 and ad- journed at the request of the labor group after two resolutions had been presented.

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 21.—lIncrease in the capital stock and cash reserve of the Scandinavian-American bank of Fargo, recently closed by order of the two members of the state banking board, is one of the chief aims of the Nonpartisan league rally which drew hundreds of farmers to this city today. : The state committee of the league is to present three financ- ing plans of the bank to the two mass meetings scheduled for this afternoon and evening. Paid up capital of $320,000 with an equal surplus is the plan on which the committee is working, according to William Lemke, chief legal advisor of the league. The bank’s previous capital was $50,000. Subscriptions are to be taken among the farmers at the rally, according to the committee’s plan. __, SUBSCRIPTIONS SOUGHT Subscriptions of $210 are being sought from the league mem- bers at the rally toward the proposed increase of $270,000 in the bank’ 8 capital with an equal sum in the surplus, making a total desired by the league leaders of around half a million dollars. According to Lentke the league leaders hope to raise this amount in the next two or three weeks. Of the $210 subscriptions $100 goes to the capital account, another $100 to the surplus, $2 as required by law to the state bank guarantee fund and $8 for necessary expenses of the re- financing. A total of about 2,700 shares are thus placed on sale, each subscription calling for the same amount to go to the surplus as is paid for stock in the bank. - the confernces braking up becomes a- cute. In Touch With Coal Strike President Wilson is being kept in formed as to the threatened strike of bituminous coal miners, the treaty situation in the Senate and the Nat- ional Industrial conference.

SENATE EXPECTS TO BEGIN PEACE TREATY ACTION Reading of: Long Document Completed, Actual Con- sideration to Begin Washington, Oct. 21—Having com- pleted the long task of having the treaty read, the Senate today was ready to proceed to uninterrupted consideration of the peace treaty. Technically the amendments pro- posed by Senator Johnson, republican, of California, to equalize the voting strength of the United States and Great Britian in the League Assembly was before the Senate today. Some leaders were hopeful that a vote on the Johnson amendment the last but one yet to ‘be disposed of would be reached before adjourment today but the general opinion was that a roll call would not be reached before to- morrow. COMPROMISE POSSIBLE Possibility of a compromise between scnate advocates and opponents of res- ervations to the German peace treaty was Said to have received serious con- sideration today at a, conference of democratic leaders, held after Chair- man Lodge had called a meeting to- morrow of the foreign relations com- mittee to consider new reservations und modifications of those reported out by the committee September 10. Later Senator McCumber, republi- can, North Dakota, leader of the so- called “mild” reservation group, in- troduced in the senate a number of what he termed “compromise” reserva- tions. He said they represented the efforts of republicans desiring to reach false imprisonment. ‘ Mandan, N. D., Oct. 21—Mrs. Al- bertPeters, nee Hilma Hansen, * daughter of Mr. and (Mrs. EB. K. Hansen of this city, met a shock- ing death shortly after noon Mon- day when a Ford car she was driv- ing on the St. Anthony road, near the church eight miles south of ‘Mandan, turned over, breaking her neck and pinning her and her two year old child under the car. The accident happened on the curve just this side of the church ‘but just how it occurred will never be known. The car was found bottom side up by Robert Staehn- ke a well known farmer, who was driving to town, and from its’ posi- tion it would appear that Mrs. Peters -had possibly forgotten the curve just east of the hill, or else striking a stone the car swerved from the road, and went partly ov- er the hill. , s Mrs. Peters had started for town shortly before noon with her : tWo:year old child.

ATTRACTS ATTENTION TO CORPSE OF MOTHER PINNED UNDER CAR; MANDAN WOMAN MEETS SAD END minutes before reaching the little hill she had passed Mr. Staehnke, when Staehnke reached the place where the car was overturned he did not recognize it as the Peters’ car. He stopped a moment and was about to drive his team on when he heard the cry of a child, and then he observed a woman's feet sticking out from; under the car, As it was on the side of the hill he had little difficulty in push- ing the car over, and rescuing the child. The woman was dead, but he did not know her. He picked up the crying child and soon Fred Hammerstad, a Carson farmer headed for home, came driving south in a car. He told what happened, and taking the child drove to Mandan and took the child up to the court house. Cecil Porter who was there thought she recognized it as the Peters child, but was not sure. Complete identification was est- ; tablished by the coroners inquest. | Man of the Hour, One Way i or Another, in Fargo PaaS as RUE SD ree CONSERVATIVES. IN ONTARIO OUT: PROVINCE DRY Sir William Hearst and His Gov- ernment Swamped by Radical Element BIG PROHIBITION VICTORY Toronto, Ont.,Oct. 21—In complete returns from yesterdays election in which Sir Wiliam Hearst, Premier of the Province and the Conservative government were swamped indicate that Ontario has gone “dry” by an ov- erwhelming majority. Throughout the province, especially in the rural dis- tricts the prohibition wave has rolled high. The voting was three to one in tavor of it in some districts. The defeat of the Hearst Conserva- tives was according to the Mail and Empire, Conservative organs, due mainly to the large vote polled by the united farmers and labor candidates who took 42 and 12 seats respectively. The largest single party in the new house will be the farmers. ance with either of the old parties and labor it should command a good working majority. ' INSPECTOR FINDS BISMARCK SCHOOL IN TIP TOP SHAPE) Local Indian Institution Shows Best Form in Its Entire Career The Bismarck Indian school is high- ly complimented by W. I. Endicott, inspector of the department of the in- terior, who dropped in unexpectedly to see how things were getting along. When the present superintendent, C. O. Padgett, took charge about a year ago the local school was.in a badly run down condition. It has not been operated for a year or two, and it was necessary for the new chief to start in at the bottom and build another! school. In this he has succeeded, and today the enrollment is the largest the institution has ever known, and there is a waiting list of 200 or more. Bids were opened at Washington on the fif- teenth for two new buildings which the growth of the school has rendered necessary, but no report of the award- ing of contracts has yet been received. Inspector Endicott, whose home is at Cedar Falls, Ia, is an oldtime news- paper man, for thirty years a journey- man printer and for almost as long a period associated in the editorial and business management of newspapers in his hometown.

They were told to wait until the mass meeting for- mulated plans.

D., Oct. 21— League representatives from Mandan, N.'D:, and from Morton, Burleigh and Kidder counties, are circulating on the streets here today, copies of a resolution adopted by | stockholders of the Mandan News, a league paper, “re- questing the officers of the Nonpartisan league to assist in forming district and pre- cinct locals so that all mat- ters of importance affecting the principles of political and industrial democracy and public ownership thru the locals for discussion and referendum.” Reports from | the Mandan leaguers say the delegation which is coming on Governor Frazier’s special train from Bismarck are not in complete harmony with the league leaders’ plans for today’s rally. The ‘resolution, which is signed by T. J. Krause, secre- tary, carries a postscript urging that “the fullness of democracy be applied in the Nonpartisan league so “as to remedy present inconsisten- cies and avoid future pit- falls.” Krause was appointed by Governor Frazier as referee in the Golden Valley case in- volving the removal of the sheriff as a result of the sheriff’s alleged activities in the prosecution of the mur- derers of a Golden Valley rancher. ' The Mandan News is a paper recently purchased by league members in Morton county, in. opposition to a paper there which is strongly ezhe acording\to a wireless dispatch sent out by the Soviet government in Mos supporting Attorney General ES Langer.
