SATURDAY, SEPT. ll, 1920 PRICE FIVE CENTS SOCIALIST REVOLT BREAKS MACSWINEY HAS FIRE FLIES AT LIBEL HEARING IN CITY COURT + Oratorical Outbursts, Near Fights and Graft Charges Feature Hearing” BRINTON TO CLOSE CASE! State Rests, Langer Asserting Criminal Libel Case Made Against Brinton | ——— { Frequent oratorial outbursts, near { fist-fights, word battles and el of graft and embezzlement marked the preliminary hearing before Police Magistrate Howell’ in which J. W. Brinton was charged with criminal libel on A. C. Townley and William Lemke. Brinton was acting as his own at- torney. Rebuffed in attempts to ask certain questions of F. W. Cathro, di- rector-general of the Bank of North Dakota, and L. P. McAneney, credit de- partment manager, Brinton broke out in oratorial fights, rested his case. and will make a speech in his own behalf Monday evening. Some serious charges made by Brinton during his many speeches re- mained unanswered in particular. though his ,charges of any graft of embezzlement of misuse of funds in the Bank of North Dakota were met with flat denials by Mr. Cathro ant Mr. McAneney. a amposing List Brinton, just before the close of the hearing, shortly before noon to- day, which was held in police head- quarters in the basement of the city hall, gave to the magistrate a list of witnesses he wanted summoned tc testify in his defense. His list in- cluded Governor Frazier, A. C. Town- ley, Wm. Lemke, H. J. Hagen, of the Scandinavian-National bank of Fargo; J. J. Hastings, Thomas Allen Box. James Grady, H. A. Paddock, W. Johnson, Ray Craig, state manager of the Nonpartisan league, the editor ot the Courier-News, the foreman of the mechanical department of the Cour- ier-News, and-added that ‘he wantec to take depositions of people outside the state. However, when Police Magistrate Howell held some of his questions were improper, he rested his side of the case, all except another oratorial flight. Some of the charges he made dur- ing the hearing were: That indivuals interested in the Bank of North Dakota received ben- efits from the depositing of large sums of money outside the state. He said he would.later on show embezzlement and false payments of money. He said he had letters from the former transit manager in which he said it was stated that entries were changed and put on the books with- out any apparent reason. That Cathro paid money to men de- nounced by Townley as crooks and embezzlers. That Cathro received a benefit from depositing millions of dollars in Twin City banks during the first part of April, 1920. What Cathro Said Mr. Cathro, on the witness stand, admitted that millions of dollars was deposited in the out-state banks dur- ing the period named, but denied there was anything irregular in the practice. He said it would have been bad banking practice to do otherwise —that the money was held only tem- porarily until counties paid. out the moncy and that to put it in North Dakota banks and then withdraw it in a very short time would embarass North Dakota banks. Brinton elicited the information that North Dakota hanks pay 4 per cent on daily balances on funds from the Bank of North Dakota while the Twin Cities banks pay but 2 per cent. The hearing began about 5 o’clock last evening, continued until 7 p. m. and lasted from 9 a. m. today until about noon. William Langer, Attor- ney-General,. who appeared agains: Brinton, charging criminal _ libel. prosecuted the case. W. A. Anderson,| secretary of the Industrial commis- sion, appeared as attorney for the Bank of North Dakota. State Rests Langer rested his case after Ca- thro and McAneney made denials of croockedness in the bank. The inter- ruptions and arguments over proce- dure were so frequent that it took an hour last evening to get the brict questions to Cathro. Anderson, as at- torney for Cathro, instructed hjm last evening to refuse to answer questions but after argument allowed him to proceed. Brinton, at the outset, asked that the case be dismissed unless the good Townley and Lemke were shown. This was held not material by the court. Both Anderson and Langer agreed this morning that this was not essential. Wants the Records Brinton renewed a demand made yesterday that he have access to al the records of the Bank of North Dakota, which, he said, were neces- sary to prove his case. Anderson and Langer declared he had the right only to any particular record to prove a particular point. The judge up- held this contention. When the judge held’that he must confine his uestioning of Cathro, who! was on the witness stand, to specific matters, Brinton tried to explain what he was'driving at. “I want to show that funds were transferred from the Bank of North Dakota to an institution in which V liam Eemke was interested.

SUMMONED London, Sept. 11-—-The condition of Terence MacSwiney, Lord Mayor of ork, who has been on a hunger strike at the prison here was this afternoon reported to have reached the gravest stage yet recorded, ac- cording to the bulletin of the Lrish { Self Determination league. He appeared to have completely col- lapsed and at times his mind seem- ed to be getting dul, though his bodv “has been virtually dead for several days,” one of the league officials re- marked. May Not Mean End Despite the fact that this is the thirtieth day of his hunger strike the Mayor's mind heretofore has been em. ‘ably clear, although at nume ‘ous times he has sunk to low phy- sically that he could not speak. it vas said the ‘or’s collapse did not necessarily mean that the end might. he expected immediately. The members of the family have been summoned as yet by the uthorities, as it was understood wou .uthorities, as it was understood would be the case if it was believed ‘e had reached the last stages. 45 DAYS RECORD New York, Sept. 11.—Certifeid opies of scientific records show in- stances where persons have under- sone voluntarily fasting from 1 to 45 lays without injurious effects. Some of the fasters were professional, but nany voluntarily abstained from éat- ng for purposes of scientific re- rch into the effects of prolonged ing.

ISOLATION NOT (i. 0. P. POLICY, “COOLIDGE SAYS History, Platform | and Assur- ance of Candidates Refute Charge, Nominee Declares Portland, Me., Sept. 11—The asseré tion that the Republican party stands for a foreign policy based on a recog- nition of the fact that the United States is not isolated, was made here last night in an address by Governor Jalvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, Re- publican candidate for vice president. “By its history, by its platform, by the solemn assurances of its candidate it completely refutes the charge,” he said. The address was delivered at a vally held in. connection with the state campaign for the election of tate of! and congressmen: next Monday. cussing the refusal of che United States senate to ratify the Peace treaty with the covenant of the League of Nations as submitted xy the President, Governor Coolidge said: “In general the objection was the reluctance to incur either legal or moral obligations binding our gov- ernment to.act in accordance with decisions not made by itself. It was the desire to retain unimpaired the traditional policies, like the Monroe doctrine, and the independence of ac- tion of America.” Discussing reservations adopted in the senate, he said that the Presi- dent had rejected them and that Gov- ernor Cox had announced that he favored “going in.” The Republican party, on the contrary, he added, by its history, by the record of its sen- ators who “twice voted to ratify the league with reservations,” by the de- claration of its platform approving the conduct of its senators, and by the statement of Senator Harding, was Hat opposed to the principle of the League of tions. SEEK RAISE IN ~ EXPRESS -RATES The state railroad commission late yesterday heard the application of the American Railway Express com pany for an increase in intrast express rates of approximately 25. per cents and in addition a per cent lent to cover the in- cre ee in labor cost, caused by the railway labor board’s advance in pay to express employes.

Some of whom re- ceived as much as $52 a week.” mills in the Con- shocken and Norristown districts have been closed indefinitely it is said to cancellation of orders. LINTON PUSHES HIGHWAY PLANS Linton, Sept. 11-—-Plans are under way for some effective government road work next year. It is certain that the government road will be completed to Linton from a point four miles north in the spring. In addition, there will be nine miles of grade put in from Hazelton in the di- rection of Moffit. This will cover most of the bad road between those towns.

The supreme court today was debat- ing the action it will take on the plea of William Lemke, acting as special assistant attorney general, that the order restraining the rail roads from putting into effect the 35 per cent freight increase and the 20 per cent passenger rate in- crease be made permanent. If the court holds, was indicat- ed by some members during discus- sion from the bench, that the rail- voad commission had not complied with the mode of procedure in ar. riving at its conclusion, it is exp ed that a new hearing on the in- creases will be held and a new order made. Aifiday this point, took a sudden turn of affa during yester- day afternoon’s hearing. After affi- davits of commissioners C. J. Dupuis and S. J, Aandhal had been produced in their behalf to show that the rate New The case, dn ference of them and Fra Milhol- lan, member of-the comm ke produced an. affidavit, made dur- ing the noon recesg by Aandhal in which he said that nbd motion was for- mally made at the conference and that while he hadn’t read the tran- script in the case he thought that, under the Esch-Cummins act, the commission must grant the increase. He also produced the affidavit of J. H. Calderhead that the minutes showed no formal motion of action by the commission. Willing for Riise Although Aandhal declared that all members were favorable ‘to the in- crease, Lemke argued that since et action, according to the records of the commission, was not in accord- ance with statutory procedure, the ac- tion of the commission was void. At the hearing August 12 -only Commissioner Dupuis was present. Mr. Lemke declared the state was not represented at the hearing on Augus: 12, Lemke was a special assistant attorney general at the time of the hearing, but was not present. W. A. Anderson, secretary of the Industrial Commission, also was notified of the hearing but was not present, and J. A. McGovern, of the mill and elevator association was notified, but was not present. During the argument Lemke also attacked the reasonableness of the intrastate rates, and declared the court had original jurisdiction in such a matter. This was concurred in by Justice Robinson, but during the discussion the justice said that the only thing, apparently, for the court to decide was if the mode of procedure of the commission was cor- rect. An affidavit of E. Moore, traffic manager of the Equity Packing plant, Fargo, was to the effect that intra- state rates in North Dakota are much higher than in Minnesota, giving Min- nesota business firms an undue ad- vantage. Lemke said that he was willing for a, 35 per cent increase in freight rates, based on the 1919 maximum freight rate law. The increase ngw is based on the wartime rates. MC ADOO OPPOSES LIGHT WINES AND BEER, HE STATES New York, Sept. 11.—William G. Mc- Adoo, former secretary of the treas- ury, who is to campaign for Govern- or J. M. Cox( today said he strongly favored the prohibition amendment and opposed modification of the Vol- stead act. “Prohibition means prevention,” said Mr. McAtloo. “It does not mean license in any form. To permit sale of light wines and beers is to open a crack in the door of prevention; and once the crack is open the door is wide. It will be impossible to admin- ister such a wine law in a manner to prevent the gravest abuse. “I know from experience as secre- tary of the treasury that no law which provides a certain percentage of alcohol can be successfully en- forced.” VOLSTEAD AND KVALE BOTH OUT St. Paul, pt. 11.—The dis- qualification of Rev O.

NEW ROCKFORD MOTION DENIED The supreme court this afternoon denied the motion of representatives of New Rockford, asking that the judgment rendered in the case of state ex rel Bauer four years ago: be vacated. The New Rockford repre- sentatives contention was that if this judgment were vacated, the petitions filde four years ago by New Rock- ford people in an effort to get be- fore the people at an election the proposal to move the state capitol from Bismarck to New Rockford would be valid and the matter would go on the ballot this fall.
