Gladstone London, Feb. 1—()—A telegram from: Lily Langtry, at Monte Carlo, repudiating the testimony of Captain Peter Wright last week, that he had been told the famous actress at one time was intimate with the late Wil- liam E. Gladstone, Victorin prime minister, gaused a sensation at the resumption today of the libel case brought by Captain Wright agninst Lord Gladstone. The telegram was addressed .to Norman, Birkett, counsel for Lord Gladstone, and read: “I strongly repudiate the slanderous abcusation by Peter Wright.” Birkett explained that he could not have read the telegram in court without Wright’s permission, but that the complainant had requested that the telegram be made public. Wright is suing Lord Gladstone for denouncing him as a “liar, coward and fool,” the trouble growing out of a book written by Captain Wright in which the moral character of the iy n 0 n in: ke Fy ¢ e le 1 in ojelder Gladstone is assailed, and to which Lord Gladstone took exception. 22 Are Penalized at Minnesota ‘U’ For Exam Cheating Minneapolig, Feb. 1—(#)—Twenty- two students were penalized by the student work committee at the Uni versity of Minnesota for cheating in fall quarter, examinations in psychol- ogy, it was/announced today by Dean Royal R. Shumway, chairman of the committee today, following recent in- vestigations. The penalties ranged from failure in the course, to suspension for the remainder of the school year. The names of the students were withhela by university authorities. Eighteen of the students admitted their guilt in open confessions, and of the 27 cases which were taken un- der consideration, 22 were found guilty, three were cleared of the charge, and two were referred’ to a joint committee but later exonerated.

A concurrent: resolution, introduced by Representative H. F. Swett, der county, eulogising ory’ as a bripraaah ot, the house of representatives acting as honorary pall bearers. Scores of his collegues in the legislature accom- panied the body to the station. Following its action of yesterday in voting that the salary O'Neill would have received for the present session be given to his widow, the house today will vote on an’ emer-! gency appropriation of $500 to pay| the expenses of O'Neill’s illness in a hosptial here and to defray the, funeral expenses, Better Protection of Game Provided in Proposed Law Greater latitude in the determina- tion of open and closed game seasons| is sought in a bill introduced in the state house of representatives by the committee on game and fish. Proponents of the measure would ‘bring this about by giving the gov- ernor authority to close or open fish- ing and hunting seasons gn the rec- ommendation of the state game and fish commission. According to C. P. Peterson, state game and fish commissioner, this is am emergeney measure patterned aft- er similar’ acts adopted by other states, Whereever it has been tried so far it has worked out satisfactori- ly, he said. Its object, Peterson says, is to order open seasons Where birds are un- usually numerous, or to cut short the season in places where game is searce and its extinction in that lo- cality is threatened. The bill gives the governor, after an investigation by the state game and fish commission, authority to order closed seasons in districts where game. birds, fish er animals are in danger‘of’ extinction, or when necessary for proper protection dur- ing the propogating s ilar power is given when “any species of game birds, fish or animals has be- come sufficient in numbers to war- rant an open season.” Notice of the order would be made through publication in newspapers. However, a provision is made that any person objecting to such an order could, by filing a petition within 30 days after the order has been issued, obtain a hearing in the district court. The court would then rule whether or not the order was justified.

Miles Lampson, British minister to China, is negotating with the Peking government on terms similar to chose offered the Canton PEKING GOVERNMENT RETURNS TO SPOTLIGHT Peking, Feb. 1—(#)—The Peking, or centr: government of China, more or less overshadowed in recent weeks by developments in Cantonese territory, returned to the spotlight of the Chinese situation % Upon the heels of a note to the British, government roquesting that armed forces. not bo Jai in Shang- hai, the Peking: authori summaril dismissed Sir Franeis ‘Aglen,' Britis! inspector general of.Chinese maritime customs, for his refusal to collect eurtaxes recently decreed by the gov- ernment.

The campaign is of Chang Tso-Lin, the figure in the Pekii intended by poth sides to decide whether the Cantonese or nationalists will retain the territory they won when the campaign they began, less than a year ago gave them nearly half of China, or whether the nor- ‘therners shall drive back their south- ern foes and again become sole mas- ters of the nation.

Num- bers and Chalk Talk Much Enjoyed By Audience The Men’s Glee club of Hamline University was enthusiastically greeted last evening by a cr which filled the ntain floor and bal cony of the city auditorium: Every number of the program was received with applause, and many encores were demanded. Joseph G. Moore, tenor soloist, was especially good, possessing a _ rich clear voice that appealed greatly to his audience. He responded with two encores. Kipling’s Recessional, “God of Our Fathers,” by Schnecker, was one of the most beautiful of the glee club numbers. As an encore the club sang “Seek Ye the Lord” by Lock. The program of songs was inter- spersed with a number of instrumen- tal selections. Lawrence W. Chides- ter played’ a violin solo, “Romance” by Svendsen, and responded to the appreciative applause with “Minpette” by Huckstein. Novelty Trio A novelty trio with saxophone solos featured Stuurt Johnson, Robert D, Holliday and John A, Holl These numbers, including popular selections, were perhaps the most popular on the program. Mr. Johnson played saxophone solos and furnished banjo accompaniment to the songs of the Holliday twins. A trumpet quartet gave a selec- tion followed by a humorous chalk talk by Leonard E. Brown, As en- cores the quartet played “Alpine Rose,” “Impromptu” by Schubert, and “Sweet and Low.” As an encore to one of the ervkre, of songs the glee club sang an old German song that was particularly. enjoyed. Other numbers given by the club included’ compositions of some of the famous old masters and . number of lighter glee club adapta- tions. The glee club was composed of six- teen well-trained voices. The ex- cellent work of the director, John A. Jaeger, wee evident in smoothness and unity of the number: Situation Will Be Called to Attention © of the Legislature (Continued from page one) state-foreclosed land which were held by individuals, Of this amount $120,- 000 already has been advanced by the Bank of North Dakota. The governor suggested, however, that if he were wrong. in his inter- pretation of the decision it might be necessary to raise enough addi- tional money to pay off the tax cer- tificates held by the counties as well as by individuals. Shafer, however, insisted that by the time the supreme court could be expected to act it would be too late for legislative ac- tion, Compromise Reached He said that his department had, been advised, in informal conferences | with the court, that an application for clarification would be rejected by the court anyhow, amd that the court would stand on the decision as written, The court had the cas for over a year before a decision was reached in it. ! The governor expres: ed the view that the court might be induced to:act within a few days and that in such event it would be bet-! ter to hold up action calling the at- tention of the legislature to the sit- uation until it was clarified and ihe industrial comm’ mn could itself gree on a course of action. The de- cision to submit it to the legislature without recommendation was more or less of a compromise. J. A. Kitchen, thitd member of the commission, suggested that difficulty might be experienced in getting 2 law. such”as proposed by Shafer, through the legislature in view of the! fact that its result would be to de-| prive counties of revenue on which| they had been counting and which ‘many of them want and need. In the event that such a law is introduced | and’ defeated, the question of whether | or not the counties must wait for) their money until the land is sold} would again be to the fore together | with the question of whether or not) it is necessary to appropriate moncy to protect the state’s interest in the fond. Shafer said he has been advised’ that unless definite steps are taken té prevent it, certain counties intend to resell the land acquired by tax title. In that event the state’s se- curity for loans made.on such prop- erty will have vanished. To Judiciary Committees It is: considered probable that the legislature will refer the matter to ite ‘judi¢iary committees, which will be expected to place their’own inter- pretation on the supreme court's, d: cision and ‘determine what policy should be followed. Members of the industrial commission expressed the view that it is not improbable that a conference will be asked by the legislative committees to discuss the situation with the industrial commis- sion before takjng final action. In that event they would have to con- sider the opposing views of the gov- ernor and attorney general as to the interpretation to be placed on the decision: Attention of the legislature will be called to the matter in a communica- tion to be delivered today. The com- munication will consist of the indus- trial commission’s resolution and two letters outlining the: financial angles i commission by C. R. Green, manager of the Bank of North Dakota. ‘The text of the two letters, each ‘southerners | of. which was directed to the indus-| for printing of 200 set: Td laws of 1918 for wu trial commission, follows? Greon’s Firat Letter, “We are herewith submitting to you for your consideration and atten- tion copy of an opinion led dow! this week by the supreme court which’ very. materially affects the state. with. reference to taxes on lands, upon] which loans have been made by the Benk of North Dakota, as agent for the state.

Under the Bond act passed im 1923 (chapter 242-1923) all taxes accruing and past ¢ on lands held under mortgages by the state of North Dakota, and which were either under foreclosure or held by deed, were to be cancelled and abated, A suit was started in Burleigh county to test out the 1923 law. The district ‘court held! that’ all taxes aceruing after ‘sheriff's deed was obtained would’ be abated but that the taxes unpaid before the deed ‘was issued would have to be paid by the state. A cross appeal. was taken from this décision by the Bank of North Dakota and the county of Burleigh, and the decision of the su- preme court this week sustains the sion of the district court, “This leaves the State of North Dakota facing the problems of how ake care of these’ taxes in: order to protect the land which it has ob- tained on these foreclosures. Since the decision of the lower court, we have served an injunction on all county auditors restraining them from disposing of the lands affected where deeds had been called for by the holders of the tax cert tes, Now that the supreme coirt decision has been handed down, undoubtedly action will be commenced immediate- ly to force us to dissolve the injunc- tions and phy! the taxes, and if this is not done, the state will lose title to such lands on tax deeds. Revolving Fund Needed “Up to this time the Bunk of North Dakota has protécted the state’s property where tax certifi- cates were held by individuals and where we could not restrain the au- ditor from selling the property. We have invested in these taxes, up to this time, $120,000 and the man- agement feels that we have about all/ M: the money invested: im such taxes that we can safely advance. As you know, the bank has no available funds, ex-| cept its deposits, most of which is public money, and must not be in- vested in any “frozen assets” such as lands. Such funds can only safely be invested in quick liquid securities that can readily be’ turned’ into cash. As the amount required to tuke care of all these delinquent taxes will run into big money, we feel’ that the leg- islature should be asked to provitle a revolving fund sufficient to take care of it, The amount immediately necessary, and which: must be taken care of at once, will amount to ap- proximately $400,000: in addition to what ulready has been paid, and that the amount will possibly increase rather than diminish, as the payment of these taxes can only be taken care of through sales of land and profits from the crops raised on said lands. We further feel that the state itself will not lose any money, as the in- come from sales of land and crops should about hold this fund even tid’ eventually retire it entirely. ¢ therefore suggest to your com- mission that the governor present this matter to the legislature by spe- cial message and that the industrial commission use its best efforts to iave a law passed to provide funds to take care of this unfortunate situa- tion. “We might add, further, that the legislature passed an act in 1923 for the purpose of taking care of this past due tax situation, and that in 1925 an attempt was made in the leg- islature to repeal the law. However, when properly explained, the bills were withdrawn so that as a matter of fact, two legislative sessions have seen the necessity of taking care of this tax situation, but the method provided has been annulled by the \upreme court’s decision.” Green’s: Second Letter The second letter follows: “Complying with your request for additional: information regarding the amount of money which will be re- quired to pay the past due taxcs on lands on which the state holds mort- gages and which are now under fore- closure; or deed, beg to advise as follows: “Taxes covering the years 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, and 1925 on foreclosed loans held by the state of North Dakota, are approximately $520,000; $120,000 of this amount has been’ puid by thé Bunk of North Da- kota in order to protect the state's interests, Of this amount approxi- mately 35 per cent of the certificates and subsequent tax payments is held by individuals, or, in other words, $182,000. The balunce of 65: per cent of the total amount or $338,000 is Basing our con- clusions on past experience we esti- mate that under ordinary conditions it will require an: additional. $200,000 to take care of the taxes for the nium’ period of 1926 and’ 1927, an using’ the same estimates’ as above, $76,000 of this would be held by in- dividuals. and $125,000 by counties.
