TRIBU News of Sport World | EVENTS AND GOSSIP FOR THE FANS poe DICKINSON IS MAKING PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR Fans Satisfied With Team’s Showing, and Plan Better Team Next Summer Dicknison, Sept. 13.—With a repu- tation of having supported the bunch of heavy hitting sluggers on the Slope during the past season Queen City baseball enthusi: are already busy with plans to put a line- up into the field for the 1921 season that will be second to none in the state. A canvass of the city has shown the sentiment of the fans to be strongly in favor of an all salaried team for next year and to that end plans are being made to form a base- ball association in order that the pro- ject may be carried through success- fully. It is probable that a mass meeting will be called early in Octo- ber to perfect the organization and at that time an opportunity will be given every supporter of the team to ex- press his views in the matter and to offer suggestions. During the season just closed the Dickinson baseball team, composed practically of all home men, earned the reputation of being the fastest heavy hitting sluggers in the Slope territory. Quinton Roberts, star catcher of the Queen City nine, led his teammates in individual batting with an average of .534, Besides playing a strong game behind the bat in. each of_ the thirteen games of the season, Quint got hits and circled the bases 18 times in 58 times at bat. Clint Davis, although playing in but two games, pounded the ball for a safe hit four times and scored six| runs in eight chances. Clint is an old-time player and covered ‘the first sack with credit to himself as well as the team. RUMOR, JOHNSON TO BE RELEASED BY U. S. JUDGE 13.—Word _ that “something nice” is going to happen for Jack Johnson ‘Tuesday spread today among friends of the Negro pu- gilist. Johnson left the country and forfeited his bail after his convic- tion on the Mann act charge six years ago. On his return recently he was again arrested, and his efforts to se- cure a second release on bail have been unavailing. While the rumor did not specify the nature of the pleasant event, it was hinted that it might be connect- ed with the expected return from va- cation of Judge Carpenter, who pro- nounced sentence on the, former heavyweight champion and the pos- sibility that the judge may again aid in releasing Johnson, who is now in jail at Geneva.

Gain of 1,038 in Last Ten Years | Shown by Federal Figures Dickinson, Sept. 13.— {, county now has 13,542. souls living within its borders according to the official returns of the 1920 census issued by the federal census bureau Wash- |~ ington and received by the Press this week. This shows a gain of 1,038 during the past ten years and an in- crease of 5,921 since 1900. Of the incorporated cities and vil- | lages Dickinson shows the largest gain with an increase of 444 in the last decade. Belfield, which was not incorporated in 1910, has.a population of 526. Haylor census figures . are given at 285. Richardton is the only) town in the county to*show a‘loss over the 1910 census. The populatioa,| of that village is now 626, or a de-| crease of 21 since the last count. A striking feature of the returns was the decrease, in the population ons many of the country districts.

WORK APPEALS TO AMATEURS “Correspondence $chool’* Forces and None Is Accepted’ Until He H: His Ability as Crime Investigator. A place on the United States secret service force {s the most sought for po- sition In the United States. More than 2,000 applications are received for every vacancy and every mail brings new requests. Most of these are from “sleuths” who have complet- ed the course of some mail order de- tective school. No sooner does the average “graduate” get his diploma and star than he sits down and writes to Washington that he is “qualified to do all zinds of detective work” and asks for a government position. Tn all such cages the applicant fs out a 2-cent stamp, for ‘the detectives in the guvernment, services are recruited from the city detective forces and none Is accepted until he has proved by years of work his ability. as a crime investigator. , The secret séryice was created in 1864 to trace and arrest counterfeiters of United States’ currency, principally the old “greenbitcks,"and detection of makers and circulators of spurious money has always been its chief func- tion. Consequently it has attained a high degree of efticlency in that line, and It has become axiomatic that “no counterfeiter can get’ away with it.” Cleverness Against Cleverness, But high wages for skilled and un- skilled labor do not seem to have up- pealed to a number of clever men who during the last few months have at- tempted to beat the high cost of living by making their own money. !n con- sequence the sécret service has been unusually active, and five gangs of counterfeiters operating in widely dif- ferent parts of the country have been vounded up and their plants confiscat- ed the government agents. The war Jaid an extra heavy burden on this branch of the government's ma- chinery, and hardly had ‘the amount of work begun to lessen, when counter- felt bills began te appear in unusual quantities, and the work of the crimi- nals made their detection difficult. In one instance a group of three men, wtio had made some very fine plates; were caught before they hnd put a single plece of faulty paper Into circulation, their apprehension being the result of a lucky accident and some clever detective work. AS hag been related already in the daily press, a Wather in Lake Michigan foot against something sharp, and on investigating found it was a copper plate engraving of a $10 federal re serve note.’ He turned it over to the federal authorities, who saw that it was an imperfect plate, but in the light of lohg experience they guessed that where that plate came from there were others in process of manufacture. With no other clew to work on, they began’ an’ Investigation and soon ar- rested three men, who admitted that they had been experimenting with counterfeit plates for several months. Twelve such plates were found in their possession, some of them so well made that bills printed from them would have been very hard: of detec- tion. Forge Pay Checks, More than 100 convictions have re- sulted from the work of the secret ser- vice agents in running down persons who: obtained fraudulent possession of government pay checks during the war and cashed them after forging an indorsement. Hundreds of ‘checks also were passed In cases where the blank forms wete stolen from the offices of; disbursing officers and filled out false- ly. Many of these checks were stolen from mail boxes, where they had been left by the postmen for disabled sol- diers or dependents, of ‘soldiers, bu* this form of thievery has aN but ceased. “Because of the billions of dollars disbursed from Washington, and of the inexperience of many disbursing offi- cers-who did not safeguard their rec- ords properly, the national capital be- came'a rich field for crooks and the secret service found plenty to do right at’ Its doorstep. ‘The latest plece of criminality to engage the attention of the bureau there has developed in the burenu of war risk fnsurance, where a number of disabled soldiers were in- duced to part with a part of their money due from the government. on the ground that by such a method they could get more than the’ government would otherwise pay them. . Investigation has shown that the sol- diers were the only losers, as the em- ployees of the bureau have no power to increase the umount thd disabled men are paid. Only minor employees of the bureau have been: involved.

Verses: in London Paper Which Brings Remarks From | Populace Chicago, Sept. 13—Mrs. Horatio Winslow, better known as Jane Burr, author | of “Letters of a Dakota Di- vorcee” and “The Glorious Hope,” free verse perpetrator and sketches of the passions, has written another book, “The - Passionate Spectator,” ‘and has startled London natives with | her views on love and matrimony. According to word from England. she says she is staying in London, where she went six weeks ago, be- cause “England seems to be the only place where there is any freedom,” because she has a book to. bring out | | that “they wouldn't take on the other side,” and because “it’s so restful over here.” “Can’t Stand Marriage” “I can’t stand marriage, thought I love to see your young people kissing in the parks—they would be arrested for doing so at home,” she told the press of London. “I. can’t ‘take the responsibility for any man’s socks. What I want is romance—and mar- riage just knocks it on the head. I like men, but I canjt have them in the house. “A husband, to my notion, might have a home of his own where | could stay if I wished to, and ! wouldn’t mind having him as a guest once in a while. But it is impossible to have him always about the place. He interfers with one’s work. A hus- band should be a. sort of weekend in- stitution—but a short weekend.” Remarks Stir. Populace London matrons, scholars, politici- ans, clergy and populace promptly got into arguments about these remarks and even the lord mayor's wife step- ped into the ring to deliver an ul- timatum that “true women are con-' servative in all that concerns the realities of life, and human instincts are stronger than any modern fan- cies. or schemes.” “I’m happy,” Mrs. Winslow , writes to Chicago, “because a reform di- yorce law comes up here next month; and the reactionaries are ready for preaching free love.” »Mrs. Winslow has been separated from her husband for several years. She is a member of the Guggenheim family, and was Mrs. Jack Punch be- she was married to Captain Win- slow. N. D. UNIVERSITY /SHOWS A STEADY GROWTH IN SIZE Grand Forks, N.

The develop- ment of an institution of higher learn- ' ing -is something like the growth of a busincss; the early days are the hard-" est to pass. Every business man knows that the saving of the. first thousand dollars is the hardest rung in the ladder of fortune. When a university has reached a record of 2 thousand students in daily attendance the pioneering days are gone. It has taken the university thirty-six years to reach the mark. With reasonable prosperity in the state for the next five years, the university ought to double the present enrollment, the ‘caculty say. This means an enroll- ment of nearly three thousand stu- dents during the entire year, with an average attendance of two thou- sand during the regular semesters. While such an enrollment will not put the university in a class with some other state universities in the Matter of attendance, it will establish it professionally with the best insti- tutions of the’ land. f T JOKING 7 —— oO : He Got Off Easy.
