Retraction Demanded of Herald
Best Proof Is In Publication of Testimony
J. D. Bacon, president of The Grand Forks Herald company, and
The Grand Forks Herald, have been served with notices demanding the
unconditional retraction of an article which appeared in the morning
edition of The Herald for Saturday, April 19. The notivc was served by
Attorney James Manaban, or St Paul, on behalf of A. C. Townley, presi
dent of the National Nonpartisan lieague, and Wm. Lrmke, vice presi
dent.
The article concerned was headed "Townley, Lemke Given Share In
Valley City Bank Deal, Reported."
The notice served on Mr. Bacon and The Herald says:
"The undersigned, A. C. Townley and William Ijemke, each for him
self, demands the retraction and withdrawal of the libelous statements,
and a withdrawal and disavowal of the libelous innuendo and insinua
tions, contained in the article published In the Grand Forks Herald on
Saturday, April 19, 1919, of and concerning them as officers of the Non
partisan Leagne, and of and concerning each of them as individuals
wherein you falsely and malidonsly state: 'Townley and Lemke given
•hare in Valley City hank deal reported C. Aamotb, Valley Cltk banker,
tells Banking Board T. A. Box made such a statement to him."
The for retraction seems to be based .upon, the statement made
by them in their notice that neither of them had any connection or any
Interest whatever with the organization of the bank or the purchase or
any knowledge of the terms or details thereof.
The Herald did not allege as a fact any connection by either of the
parties named with the bank transaction but simply gave a fair and true
report of a certain public official, proceeding, the same being given with
out malice and without comment .tend for no other purpose than to'prescnt
the news to its readers as it Is bound to do in properly serving the public.

The evidence given is in tlie"possession of the State Banking Board,
as The Herald is informed, and The Herald reporter was refused accc^t
to it by J. M. Waters, then secretary of the board.
If the testimony is' not as reported in The Herald the best way to
show that fact is the publication of the testimony, and The Herald now

disappointed because he failed to box.
Dempsey was eager to rip into his
sparring partner, but Trainer Jimmy
DePorest forbade it because the ring
has not been padded. It will be in
shape to permit boxing tomorrow.
Women and children of the bay
shore district are showing more in
terest in Dempsey's work than the
men. The club house grounds were
jammed with them. Dempsey at
tempted to satisfy them with two
rounds of shadow boxing after he had
been refused permission to put on the
gloves.
Newspaper correspondents played a

his trainers, and got away with the

was taken out of the game in the
third inning because it was feared he
might damage an ankle.

It is also proposed to eombine the
ministry of war with the general
staff, under the presidency of the
chief of staff, General Lebediev, who
will move to Ekaterinburg, where he
will be nearer the scene of opera
tions. This ministry has in the past
been recruiting and drilling of sol
diers up to the point where the men
were incorporated into combat units,
After that time the men passed un

ment which resulted in some cases in
a conflict of authority. Certain con

[head of the All-Russian government

where he presided at a conference of
I manufacturers, peasants and indus
trial organizations in the Ural dis
trict. He gave them assurance that
the government would help in the re
habilitation of Industries and- in the
buliding up of transportation facili
ties.
Guarantees were given a Jewish
delegation that the rights of Jews
would be safeguarded. Admiral Kol

the department of agriculture in
framing land reform legislation which
would guarantee peasants the tenure
of land which they till' and increasing
