CG ) TRIBUNE Last Edition BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, "22 PRICE FIVE CENTS UNCLE ‘JOE CANNON BY HARRY HUNT. Washington, Feb. 20.—When Uncle Joe Cannon steps out of the House of Representatives on March 4, 1923, he will carry a fund of political remin- iscences such as is possessed by no other individual in or out of Wash- y ington. On that date Uncle Joe will have concluded 46 years’ service as a mem- ber of the House. In the course of those years he became the center oi perhaps the most bitter partisan struggle Congress ever knew. Yet the best recollection Uncle Joe will take out with him on retirement, he says is the knowledge that parti- san differences or party policies have little power to wreck real ‘friend- ships. “Always there have been during my service,” Uncle Joe says, “and I be- lieve therg always will be in the House of Representatives, fierce con- tests touching politics. “But after partisanship has passed -—and even while it was on—we had as many friends ‘on the other side who would go as far outside parti- sanship or policies to serve ‘one an- other, as we had upon our own sides, “We should not be human if we did not disagree at many points. And there would be no work for Congress if there were not many men of many minds in the country.” x * « PLANS TO QUIT HOUSE AFTER 46 YEARS SITUATION IN “EAGURRS FIGHT IS HAPPIEST AS HE UNCLE JOE CANNON “was by the aid of ‘Sunset’ Cox, great man was Cox. “One day he was running amuck, attacking the Republican gide as only | Al “The first notoriety I ever obtained!ho could.

R. R. Kane, jury member, whose illness caused the court to recess last Thurs- iday, was back in the jury box today. ‘The defense still has three or four witnesses who will follow Gummer to ithe stand. Gummer refuted his own direct tes- timony today when -he asserted that he had not told his companion, Andy Brown, about calling the murdered sirl, Marie Wick, by telephone the night she was killed. He testified on direct cross-exam- ination last Wednesday that he had told Brown that he had called her wp. When asked why he had said that Brown had been told of the tele- phone call he answered that he could not explain. Gummer continued his denial of var- ious phases of the conversation offi- ials have testified took place between State Bonding Fund, in which Lieut-! Gov. Wood was bonded as receiver. H A IER The claims, briefly, are that Wood released security on one note for $1,- 950 in the Prosper bank and dis- .posed of grain checks ample to cover another $1,400 without giving credit to the bank. Exonerates Wood Harold Hopton, manager of the state bonding fund, who has returned from an investigation of the affair, said that the acts complained of were the re- sult of trust placed by Wood in em- ‘ployes and others, that there would tbe no loss to the bonding fund and that Wood as soon as he was informed of the matter-took steps to insure the bank and fund against any loss what- \ever. The affidavit of. Mr.. Engen, who) ‘was appointed receiver of the Prosper Bank to succeed Lieut.-Gov. Wood on Dec. 13, 1921, and qualified on Dec. 20, 1921, sets out the claims as fol- lows: . ‘That among the assets of the Pros- per State Bank were two promisscry notes executed by Mary E. Johnson, payalje to the order of the bank—one for $1,950 executed Dec. 15, 1920, due in one year, at 8 per cent., and an- other for $1,400 executed on June 30, 1920, due in 60 days at 8 per cent. The affidavit declares that to the pest knowledge and belief of the att fiant, O. L.. Engen, the promissory notes are now unsecured, that Mary; E. Johnson is not financially respons- ible and. that the notes are uncol- lectible. ‘ Involves Grain Tickets Members of Irish Republican) Army Football Team Are Given Release Belfast, Feb. 20—(By the Asso- ciated Press)—Lieut.
