IPINCHOT IN DILEMMA
\Vorks For Roosevelt, But Finds
Biif Interests Lined Up For
Former President
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.
JAMESTOWN. N. D., March B.
The eyes of political leaders of the
i United States are now on North
Dakota. This will be the first state
since there were states to select
presidential candidates under the pre
ferential primaries. The date of the
primary Is March 19.
'lhe voters will be given ballots on
*whlch are the names of the presiden
tial candidates of all parties. Each
of these names has been placed on
the ballot by a petition signed by 500
voters in the state.
The names of 10 candidates for
delegates to each of the natloual con
ventions also appear on these ballots.
The voter marks crosses opposite
the names of 10 men whom he thus
practically instructa tp vote for his
presidential candidate.
, b'o far as the Republicans are con
cerned this presidential primary has
made a strange mix-up. Until Roose
velt entered the arena there was no
prospect of 9 fight. The
tuen had whipped the Taft, men so
bnuly that Taft's name was not even
to have been on the ballot. But
when T. R. announced himself, the
"old guard”—the railroad and big
business crowd —quickly took up his
eandidacy aud are uow seeking to
get control of the state away from
the progressives.
Roosevelt, like the tariff, is a local
Issue. In California. Gov. Hiram
Johnson cleaves unto Roosevelt in
older to prevent his state from fall
ing into the clutches of the Southern
Pacific road.
, How Roosevelt Figures.
In Wisconsin. If the Republicans
forsake LaFollette for Roosevelt they
Will tall Into the clutches of the rail
roads. Roosevelt, In California,
means freedom from the big Inter
ests. In Wisconsin he means sub
jugation to the big interests.
» U is a practical certainty that the
10 voles of North Dakota in the Chl
i ago Republican convention will mean
’ha; the railroads, after beiug whip
ped out of the state for the past six
> eai s, will have gained anew toe
hold in North Dakota.
The 10 men who are Roosevelt
candidates for delegates to the Chi
cago convention, are standpatters.
Without her new weapon of presiden
tial primaries North Dakota would
tail back into the grip of James J.
Hill and the big interests. But. while
the voters oi most or the stales lu
the union are lying back, helpless,
and waiting for boss-ruled conven
tions to toll them for whom they can
vole, the citizens of North Dakota
aie listening to arguments of cam
pi.ign orators and are reserving their
judgment until presidential preferen
tial election (lay on March 19. ,
It is just as exciting as if they 1
we.e votjug for a governor.

Mad as the proverbial hatter, Culr
len Brown, of Warren, Brown & Cos. r
managers oi the Chamber of Com
merce building, swished into the office
of Prosecutor Hugh Shepherd, Friday
morning, and demanded to know by
what authority he had placed poiite
officers at the doors of the offices
rented by the American Loan Cos. and
the Reliance Loan Cos., in the Cham
ber of Commerce building. Mr. Shep
herd calmly reasoned the matter out
with Mr. Brown, pointed out the vici
ousness of the methods of the loan
sharks and wound up wtth tlie advice
that the prosecuting attorney and the
police department had a legal right <o
police places whose legality of opera
tion was questioned.
Mr. Brown seemed satisfied with
the explanation. More than that, he
told Mr. Shepherd thar he hud al
ready given the two companies no
tice to vacate the building when their
lease expires. May 1.
"In view of the companies having
received notice to leave the building,
will the policemen be kept on
guard?” the prosecutor was asked by
The Times.
”1 can’t Bay, jUBt now.” he repil and,
"but chances are they may not be
there very much longer.”
The prosecutor, Friday morning, di
rected the following letter to H. C.
Hodges, owner of the Hodges bui’d
ing, State and Griswold-sts.. in the
hope of chasing out loan sharks, and
a copy will be sent to the owners and
managers of other buildings where
the sharks are located;
As you doubtless know, this of
fice is at present engaged in try
ing to control certain loan com
panies, commonly known as "loan
sharks.” The following com
panies have office# in your build
ing. and I presume they have
leases from you; Wayne County
Loan Cos., Michigan Mortgage
Loan Cos., Globe Loan Cos., and V.
Jackson A Cos. Now, I have evi
dence In this office conclusive to
show that these concerns are
running what under the law would
be called disorderly places. The
fact thut a tenant in your build

it seems to me, would be a do
fence in a suit at law should you
oust them and cancel iheir leases
at once. It would be a great
service to me if you would assL,

let me know if you are interested

In the premises.
Within the past day or two the
prosecutor has been visited by a num
ber of loan sharks seeking a let-up of
the campaign against them. They
said that they were tired of the cru
sade and were willing to quit. If the
prosecutor would drop proceedings
against them, they said they would
leave town.
"What comfort did you give them?”
Mr. Shepherd was asked.
“In effect, I told them that there

NORWEGIANS BELIEVE
AMUNDSEN WON PRIZE
CHRISTIANIA. March 8.--To
day's meeting of parliament
was devoted to glorifying the
success of ( apt. Amundsen in
reaching the South pole. It was
decided to cable him congi^'il
lations, and the fa< t that there
was no hesitktion in doin* so
was accepted as proof that r.>.»
cablegrams received bv the
king, which have been with
held from ihe public In order
not to prevent Amfimlsen se'l
ing the story of his achieve
ment, tell of the successful irip
to the j>ole.
This belief was added to bv
the address of the president,
who lid: _
"We are filled with Joy over
the receipt of the news .flint
Capt. Amundsen and his com
rades have succeeded In plant
ing the Norwegian flag at the
South pole."

“Farthest South”
CHRISTIANIA, Norway, March
B.—All doubt that Capt. Amund
sen has actually discovered the
South pole was set at rest, so far
as Norwegians are concerned,
this everving, when King Haakon
sent a cable of congratulations to
the explorer at Hobart, Tasmania.
He also granted permission to use
the names of himself and Queen
Maud in connection with the new
lands discovered by the Norwe
gian explorer.
LONDON, March 8. —No question
of hi« “proofs” will bo raised so far
as Capt, Roald Amundsen is con
cerned when he reaches civilization,
according to a Hobart special to the
London Daily Express. The captain
landed from the Fram at Hobart,
Tasmania, for a brief period today,
bu» positively refused to make any
statement regarding his achieve
ments. He made it very piaip, ho>-
ever, that he will submit bis proofs
to tlie various geographical societies
in ihe near future.
Amundsen, the dispatch adds, has
kept ail of his ship's people on the
Fram so that his story of the trip to
tlie bottom of the earth cannot leak
in advance of his prepared plans. He
will stay at Hobart until next week
elttr which he will clear for Buenos
Ayres, thence around the Horn to
San Francisco. From there he plans
to utift around through the northern
passage to the Atlantic.
The fact that no word has been re
ceived from Capt. Scott is accepted
by the majority of tlie English news
papers tills afternoon as meaning
that Amundsen annexed the coveted
honoiß. It is believed, however, that
Scott also reached the south pole, al
though there will be great auxiety un
til In* finally rei>ortß
There seems to be a general ac
ceptance from Englishmen that the
Norwegian did exactly what he said
he did in the cablegram received by
his brother which stated he ST»ent
tnrec days at tlie pole. That he did
tltis to prevent any suggestion of
"Cookism,” is the belief here. Ob
servations taken on three days in
succession at high noon, it is said,
could not be "faked.” and there can
be no question raised such as was
raised for a time in connection even
wijh Admiral Peary’s proofs among
certain scientists.
A special to the Star from Hobart
says when the question was bluntly
put to Amundsen whether Capt. Score
reached the- south pole, the Nor
wegian explorer positively refused
to answer It.
LITTLEFIELD OPPOSES 4
PER CENT SEWER BONOS
Will Fight Plan To Boost Inter
est Rate—Matter Up
Next Tuesday
There is a possibility of a lively
tilt in the council. . next Tuesday
ii'giif when Aid. Littlefield presents
lilt, motion to reconsider the council’s
action in reauthorizing at four per
cent, SIOO,OOO worth of sewer bonds
ihat had been previously authorized
at H 1-2 per cent.
Aid. Littlefield say* ho can sfce no
reason, in view of Detroit's excellent
financial standing, why it should not
he able to sell its bonds at ,11-2 per
cent, as in the past". Deputy Control
ler Palmer says, however, that If the
reconsideration curries and the ac
tion of last Tuesday night is rescind
ed it will amount to holding up the
bond issuer
A year ago the controller issued
5i..0.000 .of public school and sewer
bonds at 3 1-2 per Cent and they
v ere offered for sale to the public
generally. In spite of a great deal
of publicity the controller was able
to sell oniy $13,000 worth of these
bonds to outsiders, the city taking
the remainder. The city now lias
$1,570,000 tied up in 3 1-2 pet* cent
bonds.
The controller explains that one
reason Detroit experienced no difficul
tly ir selling its bonds at 3 1-2 per*
• ■out in former years was that it was
one of two cities in the state whose
Lmtdg were tat exempt. In retent
yeur.- the law has been changed and
all the larger cities of the state are
issuing tax-exempt bonds at 4. 4 12
and even 5 per cent. Naturally the
1 ond-buyf rs are going to purchase
the securities that pay the highest,
rate of interest under these clrcum
stances, ami Detroit's rate of 3 1-2
per cent is no inducement
The bond situation is one that is
causing a good deal of discussion
emong the aldermen, who seem to
be uixided on the matter of Interest,
it is certain that the aldermen who
share the controller's view will op
pose Aid. Littlefield's attempt at re
consideration.
