i FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1922 HUSBAND WON'T HELP WIFE WHO PLEADS GUILTY Says Woman Who Admits Using Mails to Defraud Should Bear Consequences SENTENCE IS POSTPONED Devils Lake, N. D., Feb. 24.—Mrs. Mary Dodgson, 23, of Doyon, N. D., who pleaded guilty before Judge An- drew Miller in the United States dis- trict court here to an_ indictment charging her with using the mails to defraud found that her husband, who, with their babe, accompanied her to cou refuses to do anything to help er, When the court refused to accept her plea of- guilty and told her hus- band, Wm. Dodgson, that a lawyer would be appointed to talk with her, the husband refused to have anything to do with the case. “Tf she is guilty,” the husband said, “she should accept the consequences. ‘Under the circumstances, I’ll give her no money to pay for a lawyer, because I cannot afford it. I do not see any use of it.” Dodgson admitted to the court that he owns 240 acres of land; but that he is too hard pinched to do anything for his wife: The woman showed no emo- tion during this dialogue between the court and her husband. ‘Judge Miller finally assigned R. Goer to defend her. Faces Grave Charge Mrs. Dodgson faces a»grave charge. The indictment shows that she was in the habit of sending large orders to various mail order houses for goods, mailing. with the orders checks on which names of various persons were forged. It is alleged that the total amount of money involved in her transactions is $1,000. She sent one order to a cloak house with a: check for $117, signing the name of Mrs. Fred Gaylord; and to the M. W. Say- age company of Minneapolis she sent an order amounting to $765, signing the name of Mr. John Taylor to the accompanying check. There are a number of other such instances where smaller amounts are. involved. Sentence Postponed Mrs. Dodgson faced Judge Miller again later and on the advice of her counsel pleaded guilty to the charge against her. Mr. Goer, her attorney,’ told the court that it was “a case of non compos mentis,” and that in his opinion the woman is weakminded, be- cause she did not realize the gravity of the charge against her. Assistant District Attorney Nuckols recited the evidence in the case, tell- ing how the woman had sent the or-4 ders to the various mail order houses, sending with, them’ forged checks. She had Sent four orders, totaling over $1,000, and in only one instance \was the goods" shipped her, this being done by Sears, Roebuck ‘and éompany, who filled an order for $180 and sent her back a refund check for $24 to cover the cost of some goods not in stock. The check was ‘sent to “Mrs. William Dover,” the name Mrs. Dodgson used when she. ordered the goods. She cashed the check at a store in Doyon. Sears, Roebuck and company, how-; ever, learned before Mrs. Dodgson re- ceived the goods that something was wrong, and the goods were stopped before she actually received them. Judge Miller said that hé@ is satis- fied that the woman is ignorant and did not realize the serious crime she was committing. ..He postponed her sentence until the next term of court, in view of the fact that she is about to become a mother. CAMPAIGN T0 BETTER MORALE IS PROPOSED Minot Organization Adopts) “100,000 More” as Slogan For Campaign eae Minot, N. D., Feb. 24—“One hundred thousand More” igs the ambitious slo- gan adopted by the special committee of the Minot Association of Commerce which has set itself to the task’ of stiffening the morale of the people of northwestern North Dakota and pre- paring the local atmosphere for an influx of new settlers which is ex- pected tio make 1922 one of the great- est immigration years for this section of North Dakota. The slogan indi- cates the intention to pave the way for the coming of 100,000 more set- tlers, and steps are being taken to have every man, woman and child from Rugby tio the Montana line and from Harvey to Canada join’ in the lusty chorus singing the praises of this entire region and inviting farmers in states struggling under the bur- den of inflated land values to “come to northwestern North Dakota, farm right and prosper.” The committee, consisting of C. D. Aeker, chairman, W. E. Borene, Fred Thornhill, H. K. Swiggum, W. M. Smart, Jourgen Olson and Thomas B. (Murphy, was appointed by the board of directors of the association to work in conjunction with the immigration committee and make certain that per- sons living in Minot and vicinity are prepared to meet prospective: settlers and present this section at its great- est advantages. It met Wednesday io discuss plans for its work and at once decided that what it needed in north- western North Dakota is an intensified campaign to impress upon. residents the great possibilities of their. home territory. This decision developed a discussion of plans to broaden the scop? of this committee’s work to take in every community: in north- western North Dakota and it was de- cited to call in represéntatives from these communities sometime during the week of March 5 to 11 and per- fect an organization which will have tion in Washington. s of Maryland, just across the District of before the “cross of fire.” during the week of March 5 which has been -designated as ‘Diversified Farming Week in North Dakota. Many plans were gone over but the task ap- peared too great for a small commit- tee, hence a decision to meet again and call in a number of other men and have theme share some of the work. The meeting will plan‘the work of the committee in detail. OLD CAPITOL BUILDING FULL OF ANTIQUES Impossible To. Obtain’ Correct Estimate of Value of the Numerous Old Articles St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 24.—Collectors of antique furniture, seeking pieces of days gone by, would revel in their} finds in the offices in the Old Capitol | building here. | The old “secretary,” found in one} office, stands opposite a large modern | filing case, and several sections of the “new” book case, but does not lose any | of its dignity or sense of power by the | contrast which is so apparent. Desks which have served hundreds of workers are today nobly doing their | duty, and in many instances do not show the care and worry they must have witnessed in years gone’ by, when some newly elected or appointed of- 4 ficial strived to solve the problems of e day. Bookcases, desks, tables, filing cabi- nets or cases, chairs, including several rockers, earthern ware cuspidors, ink- wells, which no doubt were manufac- tured shortly after the sandbox was discarded, all can be found in a trip through this one-time executive build- ing. Bookcases. which reach from the floor to the ceiling, with massive doors, locks cn them, as if they held within their confines the treasures of the world, are still doing duty im some of the offices. : Rolltop desks, large enough to per- mit a cabinet mecting to gather around its top, still atte mpt_ to out the “office gossip” from its inner confines, and do faithful service to its owner in eliminating the duct from records ahd other cilice material. With a hitch and a jerk, the rolltop some- times rolls, without undue persuasion on the part of the clerk or official, but oftentimes it is necessary to use con- siderable physical, in addition to the verbal, power to separate the top from the base. Clerk’s desks, now termed " steno- graphic desks, which look as if the weight of a modern typewriter would bear them down, can be found with} the collection, and continue servjce- able to their “charming” owners. Massive tables, which require the combined efforts of several janitors | to move, are still acting as the general | earry-all of all unanswered and “for- gotten” correspondence, which in most cases is included in heaps of “miscel-, Aaneous material” of the office. It is impossible to obtain a correct estimate as to the value of the numer-| ous articles from officials in whose of- fices the furniture stands. Some of the old employes, who have worked on the old desks for years, place the value at an almost unpurchaseable price, while the incoming officials,- or the younger generation of clerks ‘and stenographers would mallingly donate some of their salary to pay for the hauling away of what they call “the old dust collectors and retainers.” REPORTED SOO MAY BUILD ON FROM SANISH eS > Watford City, N.

Company Here For Performance “The Bird of Paradise” comes to the auditorium tonight with a cast of unusual merit. Ann Reader, an attractive young actress is to be the swarthy Hawaiian princess Luana, who passionately loves Paul Wilson, an American in Hawaii, who in turn as fervently loves her. But from the moment of his devotion to this lovely but sadly primitive little creature, Wilson not only loses caste, hut also that essence of force and distinction which is his by right of birth and race. It is only when he realizes his rapid descent and so turns agely. about face, that he restores even a modicum of his self respec!

NEW POPE, PIUS XI, IS NOTED FOR HUMBLE LOYALTY Described Also as Kindly, Cour- teous and a Very Human Being Iowa, City, Ia., Feb. 24—His humble loyalty % the striking quality of the new pope, Pius XI, as-hoted by a per- sonal friend, Dr. B.

It is cer- tain that Ceriani had a profound in- fluence on Achille Ratti’s life. After!
