BURN COAL IS AS "a STEAM PRO-
!. DUCER.
\ Fargo Forum: The test Of the
sWashburn Ignite coal which began at
the Fargo Edison Co.'S power house
Sunday night at q o'clock, proved more
satisfactory than was anticipated for
the first twenty -four hours. Talk
ing about their observation OF the
working OF the coal, this morning, both
Mr. Hughes of the Edison company
and Mr.. Walker Of the Washburn road
We're OF the opinion that, for the var
ious reasons the test for the first
twenty four hours was not one upon
which to make final computations as
q guide as to the steam making quail
ties of the coal. From p. m. Sunday
to p. m. Monday, exactly ten tons
of the coal were used under the boilers.
The figures last night showed a value
for the coal of 63 per cent compared
with the bituminous coal commonly
used for steam making purposes. On
the basis that bituminous coal costs
So. 80 a ton, the per cent value Of the
Wash burn Ignite being 63 it makes it
worth in money a fraction more than
50 .46 per ton and as it can be laid
down in Fargo for 50 65 a ton there is
visible saving in favor of the Ignite
OF 81 cents per ton, or a saving of So
daily. a computation made this morn
ing, after a hard nj lights work shows
the per cent value of the Ignite to be
81 and it is believed that Is not the
maximum .SS. 3 q #
When the ash pits were cleaned out
last night the fremen found no eyi
dence Of clinkers whatever and the
quantity OF. ashes was not any more
than is usually taken out after the use
Of bituminous coal. ~ Es5
General Manager Washburn, Of the
Washburn road. has been advised Of
the results of THE tests, so far and is
feeling very much elated He wired
his congratulations to Mr.. Hughes this
morning morn l1g and also said that forty tons
a day were being taken out of the
mines now, by hand Mr.. Walker
says that if THE demand requires it the
output can be increased to 500 tons a
day by the aid Of electric machinery,
samples OF the coal are to be placed in
several private residences in Fargo, in
order that tests may be made as to it's
value IN cooking stoves and ranges,
g i is believed great saving can be
made over the eastern coal usually
used. &.

FANCHER' RECORDS.
Plaindeaier Attempts to Asperse Record

Untruthful Allegations Of Examinations

passed upon COMMISSIONER daET1SOn
for the alleged examination of eastern
insurance companies, the fusion Grand
Forks Plaindealer takes occasion to HE
a little regarding the administration
OF the insurance department by Cow
ernpr Fancher when commissioner.
The Plaindealer says that it was the
custom during F'anchers administra-
ton to examine companies and charge
large fees, and that this was held to be
"a legitimate rake off for the officials
of the department.. The Plaindealer
lis such a rabid and persistent liar that
it would be difficult TO contradict all
the campaign canards it springs, for
SIMPLE lack of time. But in this in
stance the Plaindealer ought to be
brought to admit that it went even be-
yond campaign license.
The reports of Fancher, while in
surance commissioner, show that only
a few companies were examined by
him all of them being located in st.
Paul and Minneapolis, and they were
new companies bhat had applied for
admission to do business in the state
and it was only the part Of wisdom to
examine into their affairs before per-
mitting them to do business In the
state The total fees collected for the
examination of companies in the four
years of Mr.. Fancher's administration
were S115 s. The only company of re-
$cognized standing ever examined by
Mr.. Fancher was the ST. Paul Fire &
Marine Insurance company, and this
exanninat tion was for the purpose Of as
certaining whether the company re-
ported its hail premiums in this state
separately from its fire insurance COM
pany. The fee charged for this exam
ination was $40.
During the four years OF Mr.. Fam
jcher's administration there never was
Ia bill presented to any company OUT
side OF st. Paul or Minneapolis for ex-
animation. The list of companies do
ing business III the state is to be found
in the reports for the four years Of
Mr.. Fancher's term, and if the Plain
dealer wants ito know the truth let it
address a letter to any company doing
business ii the state then and ask
whether it was ever called upon to pay N,
4 cent for an examination. Private
Secretary poole, who was deputy COM
missioner under Mr. Fancher, said this
morning: .sI,he Plaindeaaer or The

in saying that no such action was taken
and say further that it is not their
province to decide who will be chairman

The state officers have held confer

AS Mr.. Albaugh could vote for himself,
being a member of the committee, he
has % votes assured.
The seven men against Albaugh are:
Thomas Beattie, AtchisOn; D. w Null
vane, Topeka; A. H. Ellis, Beloit; Otis
L. Benton, Oberlin; Otis L. Atherton,
Russell; D. J. Hanna, Hill City; w. R
Fisher, Holton.
The organization of the committee
seems to be completely in the hands Of
Albaugh. The state officers and the
members of the committee who are
now together for Albaugh are discuss
ing the advisability of organizing the
committee from top to bottom. How
ever, there is a disposition to offer no
objection to the election of Tom Kelly
as secretary, the candidate of the Bur-
ton forces for the place.
1t has been the custom to put men
on as committeeman at large and by
other subterfuges take care of men who
did not have sufficient strength to Sc
cure an election as members, but the
state convention on motion of jackson
of Atchis0n adopted a resolution to the
effect that the men named in the con-
Vention comprise the committee, and
that no additions should be made,
which is also taken to mean that the
committee cannot take outside men for
officers. If this be the construction
placed upon that resolution by the COM
mittee, Tom Kelly cannot be made sec
retary, because he is not a member OF
the committee.
The state committee will probably
meet in a couple of weeks to elect a
chairman and prepare for the cam
pajRn.

Corydon Rich, Connected With the
Cuban Postal Fraud, From Kansas.

Havana, May 17.-Early development
in connection with the postal frauds it
is asserted tends to show the far-reach-
ing influences of Neely, and every man
who is placed under arrest brings to
light additional facts. Each one seems
willing to tell all he knows regarding
Nicely, while endeavoring to exonerate
himself The only person, however.

as a witness for the state is Corydon
Rich, who will not be paced in jail out

that his testimony is absolutely indis-
pensible.
RICH AN EMPORIA MAN.
Emporia, May 17.-Mr. Corydon NJ
Rich, connected with the Cuban postal
scandal, is an Emporia man and few
years ago was one of the most promi-
uent young society men of the town.
Mr. Rich left Emporia, recently for
Muncie, where he became acquainted
with Neely Neely invited Rich to go
to Cuba, which invitation he accepted,
resigning his position as travelling sales
man for his father-in-law, A. A Cod
dard, wholesale grocer and a man OF
wealth and influence.
At Muncie it is the general opinion
that he was engaged in commercial
pursuits down there. Late reports We're
that he and Neely had the contract for
paving many miles of the streets in
Havana, and also were jointly inter-
esIed in a cocoanut grove.

this kind before US at this time and

However, George Clark was for Al
baugh in the preliminary contests prior
to the convention. Mr.. Cole is not I'M
friendly to Albaugh and Judge Johnston
holds Albaugh in high esteem for the
manner in which he conducted the last
campaign.
Frank Grimes wants a new chairman.
Charles F. Scott, the nominee for con-
gresham at large has pledged himself
to Albaugh's reelection.
The circumstances surrounding this
contest at this time justify the predic-
ton that if the Albaugh election is re-
ferred to the state officers that the fol-
lowing officials will be for him;
