cases it was the fault of the elevators.
Mr.. Severance began to examine him
as to the accuracy of the old schedules
OF the Olson expert committee. The
witness, it seems, had gone over
the schedules of that committee,
noted every error and had taken evil
dence of the errors from the elevator
and inspection records. Here, again,
arose another dispute.
Mr.. Erwin objected to the testimony
as the witness only had copies of the
records.
Mr.Seyerance held that they had been
using nothing but copies all through the
investigation. He claimed that, as they
had gone into this report of the house
committee and had it published, the
elevator people should be allowed the
right to show that it was inaccurate, in
correct and unreliable. He would insist
on Offering this testimony unless the
committee would, by resolution, decide
to strike out the old schedule as incor.
rect and wholly unreliable.
MIR. Erwin said that they were willing
to have them struck out, as they based
their case on the report of the experts
OF this committee.

sion. adopted to the effect that the COM
mittee had found the old schedules to-

How Laboring Men Could Better

A mass meeting was held last even
ing at Labor headquarters under the
auspices of the K. of l.. The hall was
we'll filled with workmen to listen to an
address by L. B. Mcclure, president of
the Labor Congress of New York state,
and formerly a member of the general
executive board of the K. of L.. Mr..
Mcclure has been through Montana
delivering addresses in the in
terest or labor, and he is
now on his way to Chicago
and his home at Amsterdam, n. Y. lie
expects to go back to Montana in Sep
TENDER and take a hand in politics, with
the hope of sending representative
laboring men to the Legislative halls.
The address of the noted labor odvocate
was an interesting one. He urged the
laboring men TO better their conditions
morally and socially, to interest the
women in labor matters, and in time
there would be found no scab
workmen among their sons. If 100
painters would save 10 cents a day
for year from their drinking expenses
they would have sufficient money to
start good cooperative paint shop.
Homes ought to be improved in attract
iveneSS, and the men should spend their
evenings in educating themselves, and
not in talking in the streets or back
biting their fellow workmeD. The
labor movement was organized to i'm
prove the moral and social condition of
the working people. His address was
repiete with advice, and illustrated with
incident.

The Old Settlers Have Night Of
1t at Red Rock

1t at Red Rock.
Yesterday at Red Rock was divided
between the members of the w. T. NJ. S.
and the old settlers. There were the
regular exercises in the morning, but
the afternoon was devoted to the w. F.
NJ. S. The ladies possessed the camp
yesterday, one of the largest crowds of
the season being present at the after
noon exercises. Mrs. Amanda Smith
occupied the platform and gave de-
tailed account OF her work in Africa.
She showed some letters from two of
terest, and whom she is now educating.
On all sides ale heard only words of
praise for her good work.
Towards evening THE old settlers of
Red Rock held their annual meeting.
Then was the time to tell their expert
enceS and to recount the stories of the
good old days. The auditorium was
filled with gray-haired sires, with now
and then biacker head, where some
young man had had the courage to in
trude. The object and plans of the as
ISOLATION were fully discussed and ar
gued. Had the original plan for the lay
ing out of Red Rock been carried out,
the park would present much more
spend few weeks
Some years ago the grounds had
been surveyed and laid out into
streets and squares like a city.
The center was to be occupied
by the large auditorium, while the
ground Oil the left was to be set apart
for the German Methodlsts, who were
to have a smaller auditorium in their
section. The avenues and streets were
all named after men prominent either
in church work or in the plan of build
ing the grounds. The lower part. to-
wards the river, was to be arranged as
park, with shady walks and tempting
receSseS. A few boulevards were to
surround the park and offer excellent
drives to the posseSSorS of good horse
flesh. But, alas, however we'll the plans
were laid, the lack of money forced the
promoters of the scheme TO abandon it,
and to satisfy themselves with such
smaller Improvements as their means
allowed them to make. The large audi
forum was built and an excellent no.
tel. which has always maintained its
reputation for good fare. A restaurant
was also built, but most visitors prefer
patronizing the hotel.
This afternoon will be devoted to the
W. G. I. o., and there will also be a
meeting of the executive board of the
association. Tomorrow morning at 9
there will be love feast, and at 80
there will be a sermon in German.
There were large number of visitors
at the park yesterday, among whom
were:
c. j. True, Paramount, Mimi; A E Riehl.
L. Eva Riehl, Mrs. j. Chase. Miss Ada Wertz,
Mrs j. E. Wilson. George Couch and wife, j.
F. Chatfie, Mrs. Raymond, Mrs Brown. Min
neapolis; Luke Hitchcock and wife, Chicago;
Miss Jennie Colgrave, st. Paul.
The campers are apparently becom-
ing patriotic. for they have hoisted the
American flag over the hotel and proud
ly point to it as it floats in the breeze.

The Reports Furnished by Expert
Accountant Olson.

The Reports Furnished by Expert
Accountant Olson.
The wheat committee is going in for
diversification of method in the opening
of its sessions. One day committee
man opens the ball with terrific roast
on Olson; another time there is a Wran-
gle about the payment of attorneys
fees, and yesterday there was row
about nothing among the ATTORNEYS
themselves. 1t all came under the head
of investigation, and ended in cigar
smoke.
The items in the transcripts made by
the experts were gone over and the dis
crepancieS taken up one by one. 1t was
very routine work, and Mr.. Erwin soon
wearied of it and asked if the commit
tee wanted to spend the entire day in
going over these schedules searching
for few errors supposed to be mex
cusable to experts, but all right under
the circumstances under which the old
clerks labored,
Mr.. Severance objected to cutting
short the examination. and said he could
show whole pages of falsified records
that were submitted in the old sched-
ules, and that the clerks had been given
access to all inspection books, despite
their statement to the contrary.
Mr.. Sevatson said he considered Mr.,
Erwin'S request the most reasonable one
yet made. but in order to Justify MIR.
Olson in his charges that the clerks of
the present committee had been sent to
Duluth to fix up the books in the inter-
est Of the elevator companies, he should
insist on their going over all the sched-
ules, although it was nonsense and a
farce from beginning to end
Mr.. Smith remarked that he was tired
of this sort of wrangling. Fifty per
cent of the time on the previous day
had been occupied in listening to these
disputes. 1t was time the investigation
proceeded.
The hint was taken and the investiga-
ton continued. 1t was shown how ears
of coal were put down by the old clerks
as wheat shipped without inspection,
and how bags of screenings shipped
from the Imperial mills were chalked
down as wheat surreptitiously shipped
from the elevators. The accountants of
the defense worked all last night Look
ing up these errors, and they were in
good shape to go on with their case to-
day.
The afternoon session was opened
with the defense trying to discover how
many cars of coal and screenings had
been reported as wheat shipped out of
the elevators.
Expert Woolcott aided MIR. Severance
In showing where car after car had
been placed in the old house commit
tees report as not having been inspect
ed. while the reports of this committee
showed they had been inspected and
weighed. His testimony was concluded
early in the afternoon. and Ed McManus
testified that frequently when a car
load of wheat had been weighed the ell
evator had blown the whistle for the in
spectors, showing that if cars had been
shipped out without inspection in some
