It was a new de- parture from the usual patriotic cele- bration and was suggested by the American legion as a fitting way in which to honor the memory of the distinguished dead who fought in the Civil, Spanish American and finally the World War. It was the most beautiful and patri- otic presentation ever given in the capital city and those who directed it and participated in the symbolic message of patriotism are to be con- gratulated for the dignity and solemn- ity with which the various phases were carried out. The pageant is characterized by two phases. An impressive altar upon which is an urn ablaze with fire held the center of the stag Guarding the sacred precincts were two veterans of the late war. The pageant opens with silent tribute to their de- parted brothers ,by members of the G.’A:-R.; the Spanish American War and the World War veterans. The three representatives of each conflict marched upon the stage the great audience’ rose in deep respect. while the chorus softy chanted ap- propriate airs. The pageant then proceeded with patriotic dialogue ‘by the two chief characters, Spivit of the Nation garb- ed as Cuiumbia and Spirit of the Town. Then characters representing ‘North, South, East and West. joined in the general tribute. Following the period of mourning the veterans reappeared on the stage and the pageant ended with a rous- ing spirit of patriotism. The community singing »y a large chorus under the direction of Mrs. A. G. Jacobson was especially ef- fective. Musical numbers by the El tinge theatre orchestra added greatly to the beauty of the affair. Members of the cast which per- formed in the pageant so effectively were: Spirit of the Nution—Mrs. Dugan. ‘Spirit of the Town — Herbert F O'Hare. Spirit of the north, south, east and west, respectively -- (Miss Annie M. ‘Atkinson, Miss Msther Taylor, Miss Vivian Irish, Miss Katharine, Nichols. Civil War veterans Stephen Welch, Thomas Welch and Thomas McGowan. Spanish War veterans—E. G. Wan- ner, J. L. Kelley, and L. W. Sperry. World War veterans—-F. W. Skin- ner, army; M. V. Miller, marines; A. M. Steece, navy. Flag bearer—P. M. Webb. Bugler—J. A. Flow; Sentinels—Glenn Peck and Henry Rhud. ¢ The parade which Ss. preceded impressive. There was a representa- tive turnout, practically every secret society was well represented as well as the American legion boys, and the Spanish war veterans. Automobiles were provided for the members of the G. A. R. and boxes were reserved for them in the auditorium. | Capt. E. G. Wanner was marshall of the parade. In the morning a committee of the G. A. R. and Spanish war veterans, followed soon after by. American le- gion members left for the cemeteries | where the graves were decorated and| a military salute fired.

A prominent league farmer in the au- dience said that he had known Mr. Young for a long time and that when he was in Bismarck he was the same true friend to the farmers that he has been! while in Washington; this in mind, why should he disbelieve any- thing Young should say now.

J. FRAZIER Convicted of High Crimes Now Campaigning for Townley Charles L, Crum, former Judge of the Fifteenth Judicial District of ‘Montana, found guilty by the senate vf Montana of high crimes, misde- meanors and malfeasance in office, impeached and disqualified from hold- ing office of trust or honor in the state of Montana, is the Nonpartisan League candidate for the legislature from Oliver county North Dakota and .S Making speeches in behalf of Lynn J. Pracier and the omnley ticket in this state. 3 ‘Judge’ Crum came to Center, the couniy seat or Oliver county some thing over a year ago. He opened up a law oifice, said nothing about his former place of residence, and immediateiy became active in pro- moting vne socialistic doctrines of che Nonpartisan League. He found many weicome hands among the Non- partisans and has been doing well in the practice of law. A short time ago he announced himself as a candi- date for the legislature on the Fra- zier-Townley ticket and is working actively. tor the office ‘to support the ‘Lownicy piegram in this state. American Legion Investigates The former status of “Judge” Charles L. Cium was investigated by the local post of the American Legion, which is fighing the Nonpartisan League in this state, and Burton S, Wilcox of Hensler, secretary of the post, is in receipt of information re- vealing the fact that this “judge” who is seeking to, become a socialist lead- er here is the same man who was im- peached in Montana, being found guy of pro-Ge:manism, amounting to sedition. The senate of the. state of Montana voted unanimously on the last article of the impeachment pro- ceedings which found him guilty of “counseling,” advising the abetting a commission of acts and. deeds which were treasonable and disloyal in their nature, and were of such a kind and character as to give aid and comfort | ; to the enemies of the United-States i in time of war.” Gloried in German Cruelties. Under another article of the im- peachment proceedings, ‘Judge” Crum was found to have gloated over uhte ‘report of every allied disaster both betore and after the declaration of war by the United States, and ex- pressed to the community in which he lived (Forsyth, Mont.) his great sat- isfaction in reading the reports of any German success; that the sdid Crum looked upon the barbarous con- ceptions and inventions of the Ger- mans used in carrying on their pros- ecution of the war, such as destruc- tive gasses and liquid fire, as worthy achievements and approved the viola- tion by the Germans of the rules adopted for civilized warfare between nations of the world and approved all the inhuman methods, processes and practices utilized by the Germans in carrying on the war.” “Guilty” Was the Verdict. When the question was put to the senate of the state of Montana, sit- ting as a trial court in the Crum case, 35 being present, every senator arose and voted ‘ guilty.” “Judge” Crum will be bitterly op- posed by the American Legion as well as by the Langer forces who see in his election if it should be possible, the placing of a dangerous radical in the legislature of North Dakota to assis tthe Townley-Frazier crowd in ¢arrying out their complete socialistic program, including the public owner- ship of all land. Hungarian Prophetess Predicts a Blonde for President of Nation Budapest, May 31.—Is there in America a man who is a_ blonde, slightly bald, wears glasses, is “sur- rounded by fine children” and who is an aspirant to the presidency? If there is he is the man. of des- tiny, according to Madame Bellaugh, the Hungarian national prophetess who was asked recently to apply her gift to the task of determining who the next American president would be. She declared that he was the “most popular man in America,” and one whose election is demanded by the masses of the people.

Took Chance Probe Would Fizzle —Now He Must Pay, Says Rickey BY H. N, RICKEY, N. E. A. Staff Correspondent Washington, May 31, — General leonard Wood has the proud distinc: tion to being the only million-dollar candidate for the presidency. According to the testimony before the senate committee inve|stigating campaign boodle charges approxim ately a round million has ‘been spent in the military candidate’s interest to date. Half of this amount, a mere $500.- 900, has been “advanced” by Colonel Procter of Cincinnati, the general's manager. These revelations’ are bound to af- fect the ‘Wood candidacy adversely. The fact that no evidence has been adduced to show that any part of this great boodle fund has been used cor- ruptly is in the general’s favor. Bad Impression But neither this nor anything else can offset the had impression that has been created in the public mind ant which inevitable will react in the minds of the republican leaders and the convention delegates. However pure the motives of Col- onel Procter in putting up half a million dollars of his own money to accomplish Wood's nomination, the whole proceeding raises a big ques- tion mark and puts both Wood and Procter on the defensive. ‘No explanation that can be made will explain. General Wood has been branded with the dollar sign and that is all there is to it. As the republican candidate he would have to go through the cam- paign wearing that brand. Would Stamp Him He would be known as the can- didate whose nomination was “boughi and paid for.” The democrats could ask nothing better at the hands of the republican convention than that it nominate a candidate who had permitted one man to invest half a million dollars in his candidacy. That would be the campaign. The democrats would have a bet- (Continued on Page Two) big issue of the island, ‘twelve miles from the school. The officers called to the boys to surrender. This did not stop them, but they jumped from the boat be- fore reaching the shore, the officers in the meantime firing over their heads. Foster and Carmichael halted on: the shore, but ‘Kinzie ran for the woods. As he was ‘bending forward to enter the brush, the last shot fired from a revolver by the officers hit him, mak- ing a superficial wound along this back. The officers called to the other two boys to get the ‘boat and bring Kenzie across the river, which they i did. ‘they were placed in an automobile and Kinzie was taken at once to the Bismarck hospital where he is re- ported to be doing well. The wound is not serious and the boy will be returned to the institution in a few days. Kinzie upon one of his escapes, held up an Indian policeman and sheriff in the woods near Fort Yates where he had been located. He is only sixteen years of age.

Debs, now serving a ten years’ sentence in the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga.; for conspiring to de- feat the selective service law, it is expected will be the next to be re- leased. Wilson’s Surrender Seen Although stout denials were made at the White House the general im- pression is that the president again is capitulating to the radical element of the country. It can be stated au-, thoratively that several prominent democrats have been urging the re- lease of men such as Debs for no other purpose than to pacify the rad- icals and bring as many as possible of them back into the democratic party. Secretary Tumulty stated positively that the president does not contem- plate a general amnesty proclama- tion. He insisted that each case will be handled “on its own merits.” | | | | | MES. O'HARE FOR REFORM | Jefferson City, Mo, May 31.— | Mrs, Kate Richards — 0’Hare | prominent socialist pwerkers an. | } | | | | when told of order commu sentence to imm “her five year ediate expiration, In behalf of Debs strong pressure has been brought to bear by demo- cratic leaders who assert that contin- ued imprisonment of Debs, who re- cently was nominated for president by the socialists in their New York convention, is serving to make a mar- tyr of him with the radical voters of the country. O'Hare and Debs, Two of a Kind Mrs. O’Hare and Debs are two of a kind. Both dia all they could to block the operation of the draft law it was charged by the government at their trials. The only excuse given for the re- lease of Mrs, O’Hare is that she is the mother of four children who are suffering by her continued imprison- ment. She was conyicted in St. Louis in 1917 and the sentence confirmed by the circuit court of appeals in April, 1919. Her fatal speech was at Bow- man, N. D., in which it was charged that she said: “A woman who rears sons to be soldiers is no better than a brood sow. It is a good-thing to send sol- diers to France. The ground will be enriched by their carcasses. Palmer Recommended Release Tumulty said the president commut- ed the woman’s sentence on recom- mendation of the attorney general. Like Debs, Mrs. O'Hare was a can- didate before the socialist convention in New York. She was defeated for the vice presidential nomination by Seymour Stedman of Chicago. Follow- ing the convention, a delegation was sent here to carry the demand to the White House that Mrs. O'Hare, Debs and other imprisoned radicals be re- leased. Almost since the date of the armi- stice radicals have been demanding the release of their imprisoned breth- ren. The government already has re- leased all except fifty-seven of the hundreds of conscientious objectors who were imprisoned for long terms during the war, The policy the gov- ernment seems to have adopted now probably means that most of the re- maining fifty-s n will be freed soon. Throughout his administration Pres- ident Wilson has given his ear to the radicals, Many of them have held more or less important posts in the government. For instance, charges that the Federal Trade Commission harbors a nest of radicals never have been disproved. Secretary of War Bak- er repeatedly has shown the utmost consideration for radicals.

In doing them honor, ‘Civil War veterans marched with khaki clad veterans to the Arlington National cemetery where for the first time the graves of those who fell in France were decorated. Thg memorial amphitheatre there recently dedicated, was used for the first time.. Gen. Pershing was the principal speaker. Throughout the city other exercises were sclfeduled.

A monument in honor of Admiral Charles Wilkes, discoverer of the Antartic continent, was unveiled and a wreath was placed on the grave of Rear Admiral Peary, discoverer of the North Pole, by the members of the Discoverers’ club. This will be an annual feature in the future. Government business was suspended, but congress remained in session, Numerous messages were re- ceived at the White House. King Al- bert of Belgium assured President Wi}son that the graves of the Ameri- can dead there would be decorated. He expressed sentiment of gratitude and admiration which Belgium feels to- yards the heroic American soldiers, sailors and marines, who fell in the great war for the cause of civilization.

REPORT ADVISES WITHHOLDING — RECOGNITION Senator Fall Outlines Mexican Policy to Foreign Relations Committee : + Washington, May 31.—That full recognition of the Mexican govern- ment be withheld until the constitu- tion of 1917 is revised, was made by Senator Fall to the foreign relations committee in his report of the sub- committee, which has been investigat- ing conditions in Mexico. Should the Mexican government not agree to such a condition of recognition it was sug- gested that the American government renew its warning that it would hold to a definite recognition all those re- sponsible for the loss and sufferings sustained by Americans. Failure of Mexican government to restore peace and to protect American citizens would be followed, in the plan suggested, by the dispatch of an arm- ed force into that country “to open and maintain every line of communi- cation between the City of Mexico and every sea port and every border port.” It was recommended that De La Huerta, now president ad interim, should not be recognized until it was determined that his selection was ap- proved by the Mexican people and un- til it was shown that his administra- tion was of a stable character. After receiving the report the for- eign relations committee directed Sen- ator Fall to present it to the senate. LEAGUE NOT TO FORM NEW PARTY IN BRYAN’S STATE Lincoln. Neb., May 31.—The en- deavor of the Nonpartisan League in Nebraska to elect in November sever- al independent candidates outside of the major political parties does not indicate an intention to form a new political party, according to C. A. Sorenson. Mr. Sorenson is attorney for the league in this state. He says this is not a new procedure for the league, as it did the same thing in Minnesota two years ago after defeat in the primaries. Candidate for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general have been named. These were chosen af- ter the defeat of the league’s three congressional candidates and its choice for attorney general in the recent Nebraska primary. Arthur Wray, mayor of York, Robert Mousel of Cambridge. and F. L. Bollen of Wayne are thte candidates for the re- spective offices. They were selected at a convention of representatives of farm and labor organizations, includ- ing the league and the state federa- tion of labor, held at Grand Island. The names of these candidates will be placed on the ballot by petition. the words “By Petition” being print- ed on the ballots after names of in- dependents, so nominated, according to the Nebraska law.
