oe THURSDAY, JUNE -17, 1920 : LAND OFFICES IN STATE NOT _Topeaomen Offices Still -to be Main- tained by Government LAND RAPIDLY TAKEN UP ‘The four land offices maintained by the government in North Dakota wil) not be closed or consolidated, it ‘has become known here, following the ap: pointment of two new officials in the Bismarck Office, Because in the rapid settlement of North Dakota the number of acres of available lands had been reduced to such great extent plans had been completed either for the consolidation of all of the offices in Bismarck or for the discontinuance of the Bismare! and probably one other office. : ‘Yhe four offices now are maintained at Bismarck. Di¢kinsén, Minot and Williston. There~ remains in iNorth Dakota approximately 75,000 acres of government land. Since July 1, 1919, it is estimated that 15,000 acres have been taken up by homesteaders. Shares Vacant Lands When the last annual report. on va- cant lands was made, July 1, 1919, there remained 4,645 acres in the Bis- marck district, classified_as agricul- tural and’ ‘grazing land; 49,393 acres )in the Dickinson district, classified as rough and grazing; 7,260 acres, of grazing land ‘in the Minot ‘district, classified as graz- ing, and 29,249 acres of broken, graz- ing and farming land in the Williston district, : A comparison of the way in which government land has been taken up in North Dakota%and Montana is shown by a report which. places the number of acres of government_land, surveyed and unsurveyed, in Montana at 7,950,951 acres. Ten Tand offices are maintained in that state. The rapid reduction of the amount of land open for settlement in North Dakota has had its effect on the sal- aries of the office hotders in the land offices, although it has discontinued no oitice, ‘The salary of the register in the Bismarck office has been reduced about half in the last two years. The new officials of. the Bismarck office, Charles Glitschka, register; and James E. Campbell, ‘receiver of public money, will take up their duties as soon as they qualify; They were appointed by President Wilson during the recess of Congress and served stand” were echaraster witnesses but several were rebuttal against the stute’s witnesses, The witnesses for the state were as follows: Dr. Thompsen. Dr, Quain, nolice in Wilton; Ole Stefterud, sher- iff of McLean county;*hobert Cotton, Wm. Fischer, and Catherine Ernes. ‘rhe witnesses for che cefense to take the stand so far are: Mrs. Tillie War- }shaw, Isaac Bernstein, Samuel Fair- man; Harry Green, J. Basaraba, Jacob Kremenetzky, ‘John Sandelin, Mrs. Tuba Polonsky, Abe Tochinsky, Harry ‘Efsenberg and Morris Meadow, Direct rebuttal to the testimony of John Hammond, chiet of police of Wil- ton, constituted the biggest part of the testimony for Meadow, on the wit- ness stand late‘ yesterday afternoon. He began his testimony’ with the Polonsky-Meadow family affairs back in Russia and step by step told of each preceeding event up to the time Polonsky was found shot in his bed on the morning of March 22. That: it was evident that Polonsky was sulfering from a mental ailment and was not the same man whom he had known. since his’ childhood in Russia was the chief conténtion atound which\the'lawyers of Méadow, were basing the testimony’ of Meadows. : Speaks Hurriedly Speaking hurriedjy, necessitating his lawyers to caution him to go slow- er and evidently under great nervous strain, he told how he had accepted the invitation to visit his sister in company with his sister-in-law and her son, so that they together might help in settling the intense family quarrel, between Moses Polonsky and his wife. When speaking of his ef- forts mitigate the family quarrel ‘to Moses Polonsky. The nervous strain under which he had Jabored’ for near- ly a month began to tell on him and shortly after, he broke: down necesi- tating a ten minute recess until, Meadows again regained‘ his .com- phore, ' i Under the questioning of his law- yers, he told that he was the sole support for his aged father, mother and invalid sister, and that he was employed’ in New York as a sewing machine operator and wall paper hanger, that he had never been ar- résted, and never convictéd. It was | evident that as far as his past was concerned it was above reproach. Makes Denial Absolute denial that he spoke, to John Hammond .police chief of any- time of anything relating directly to 1 the trial, was the salient point in his testimony. Hammond had previously testified for the state that Meadows had spoken freely with him shortly after Polonsky was taken to the hos- pital and that part of Meadow’s con- versation was, “It looks pretty bad for me, because’l was the only one up.

They are Charles Glitschka, register, succeeding P. E. Byrne as register and James E. Campbell, succeeding F. L. Brandt. Mr. Byrne said today that he was an .applicant' for reappointment if there was ‘a consolidation of the offices in Bismarck, but that he was not an applicant unless this. was done and the scope of the activity of the work enlargéd. | sien teks Bie The rep f the’ commissioner of the general land office shows that the total expense of maintaining the tour offices in North Dakota for the year ending June 30, 1919, was $27,744.44.

And when Bismarck is a city of twenty-five _thou- sand people,gwhich all safe and sane people in’ Bur- leigh county believe it will be, in a few years, this choice piece of land will be worth several hundred dol- lars per acre, as you can readily see that a manufac- turing concern will have an opportunity to have heavy freight cars switchéd right to their door.

Afterwards he turned around towards the wall, lean- ing on his other elbow and I noticed that he was looking as if he had some- thing in his hand, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.” Q. “Did you hear anything when you was in the kitchen?” , A. “Yes, I heard the girl moving j around the room.” , The, girl, Catherine Hines, testified for the State, Tuesday, that she was up and noticed Meadow in the kitchen, later heard his steps as: he returned ; to. his room, heard the muffled shot and drop of the gun, and then the hurried footsteps of Meadow as he went toward Polonsky’s bed. Q. “What then?” A. “I said Mesiah, (Moses), What }4did you do? He didn’s say anything just sat in the bed, and then I ran to Mrs. Polonsky’s room, and called, ‘Mesiah shot himself.’ and then ‘doc- tor, doctor,’ and then I went out for a Doctor.

And then Polonsky is alleged to have said, “take three? no all of them. What should I do with the children?” Rebuttal to Hammond's testimony, that “Morris Meadow done it” was iven as Hammond’s query of Polon- 'sky “what is your brother-in-law’s name? and Polonsky is said to have answered Morris Meadow.

It gives a very clear indication of the sort of “representing” he is doing in Congress. Although he was on the platform here when Governor Frazier defended his action in helping obtain freedom for Mrs. Sinclair did not come forward and admit that he, too, aided in ob- taining Mrs. O’Hare’s freedom. He kept silent while the Governor was left alone to “explain.” P. D. Norton of Mandan is opposing Sinclair.

Op- position to the report,” he said. “might indicate that Bolshevism had infested the ranks of organized labor in America with its propaganda.” David Grange, a New York dele- gate, said the greatest trouble in America was the Bolshevist plotters who are trying to disrupt organized labor.’ , “I don't care what President Wil- son or Lloyd George have approved,” he said, “but I do know we have a good enough form of government here in America for mé, and I am not going to take any chances with Trotzky . and Lenine’s Bolsheviki crowd, They are not any more the friend of labor than the Czar in Rus- sia.” PLASTER IN SOUP Albany, June 17.—There was plas- ‘er in the soup at the Keeler Cafe here.
