Rev. Bishop Wehrle, who was the speaker of the evening at the graduating ex- ercises of the St. Afexius hospital school for nurses last evening in the city auditorium. “Keep always in mind that your profession has always been a noble one,” he advised the graduating class, “The care of the sick will! bring you its own reward when at the end of your life Jesus Christ will say to you, ‘Enter into the glory of the kingdom because ye jhave visited me.’ The bishop declared that before Jesus undertook the re- demption of the human race, human suffering had not been dignified by the virtue of pity. “But,” he contin-| ued, “in taking upon Himself the burden of humanity through His | luve for us, sickness, always regard-| ed before as a/disgusting thing, as-| sumed a nobility it never had be- fore.” The bishop closed his speech with an appeal to put back the spirit of Christian charity so that the poor may get the best care without an overwhelming expense. Diplomas were conferred on the graduates by Dr. V. J. LaRose, who extended the good will of the hos: pital staff to the graduates. Other numbers on the program in- claded two selections by St. Mary’s orchestra, one at the beginning and| the other at the end of the pro-/ gram; a vocal solo, “Spring,” by Gounod, sung by Miss Carol Mc- Clure, who responded to an encore with. “Mavourneen”; - a. .piana. solo,} “Liebestraum,” by List played by| Dr. L. R. Priske, and an encore, “Prelude,” by Rachmaninoff; a voral solo and encore by Mrs. Herman Scheffer; a vocal solo and encore! by Emmett Griffin; and a vocal solo; and encore by Mrs. Frank Barnes. ‘The stage was beautifully decor- ated with baskets of roses directly behind the footlights, while the background, which consisted of two huge drapes of the school colors banked by American flags, framed the school motto, “Merit is Worthier Than Fame.” The graduation . exercises were preceded by the annual open house of the St. Alexius hospital, where a baby clinic and tea were held in the corridor of the fitst floor. All ba- bies weighed were presented with 'a souvenir of the occasion. Tea was poured fiom 2:30 to 5:00 at rose- decorated tables by Mrs. James Wakeman and Mrs. E. E. Morris. The hall was decorated with roses in| large floor vases. | After the exercises, an informal reception and dinner was given the graduates by the school. During! this time, Miss Ella Breiner of Man- dan rendered piano selections, and Mrs. V. J. LaRose sang “Mother Ma- chree.” The graduating exercises were im- pressive, and the nurses made a pretty picture in their uniforms. The school is especially proud of the fact that all of the graduating class passed the state board with honor, so that when they received their diplomas from the school, they had all obtained the degree of Registered Nurse. The list of graduates was made up by the following young Anna Hoes! of Marshall, N. D., Miss Frieda M. Uhde of Regan; Miss Adeline M. Wilkins of Young- town; Miss Grace Timmer of Hull; Miss Katherine M. Hummel of Eureka; Sister Mary Ernee of St. Benedict's: Convent, St. Joseph, Minn.; Miss Clara H. Gass of Beach; Miss! Fay V.

Evidence was introduced to show that the clemency of Gov. Davis to- wards the latter part of his term were due to these bribes. There was some doubt as to whether the evidence of Paullman, a convicted bank embez- zler, should be accepted. The argu- ment centered around the effort of the defense to prevent Paullman’s telling how he turned over $1,500.00 to Russell Davis, son of the governor. Strenuous objection was made by the defense’ when the prosecution sought to draw the whole story from Paull- man. The court ordered that the evidence be presented. Davis is charged with accepting a bribe in connection with his efforts to pardon Walter Grundy and George McClure. Evidence shows that con- versations held between Davis, Grun- dy and Paullman were carried on through the governor's son. Paull- man stated that Russell Davis offer- ed a pardon to him if he paid him $1,550, N.

Fluctuations were facilitated last January by the participation of the general public in wheat speculation. Proof necessary for the convic- tion of persons guilty of causing speculatioh has been obtained by the department, but no charges will be made, Sec. Jardine is, however, de- termined to use the results of the investigation to prevent a repetition of last January’s speculation, He will do this by undertaking to exer- cise the power vested in him through the grain futures act to bring about a situation so that prices will follow the laws of supply and demand more closely. This can be done with the co-operation of the Boatd of Trade and rules made by the Board of Trade to prevent speculation. If he cannot secure the needed aid, the secretary stated that he would be obliged in the publi¢ interest to demand additional legislation to deal with the situation, ~ : MOTOR BOATS ‘USED TO HUNT RIVER VICTIMS (By, The sociated Press) Memphis, Tenn., May 13.—Convin- ced that there are mo bodies in the government steamer Norman, which now lies ‘55 feet below the surface of the river, engineers have changed their tactics to recover the bodies. of 21 persons who were still. missing.
