ina in the Courts.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Senator HoaT

It provides especially for the expedit-
ing of suits in equity brought under

States to the effect that the case is Of
general public Importance. A copy of
the papers in the case is then to be
given to each of the circuit judges of
the court and it is thereupon to be
given precedence over other cases and
to be assigned for hearing at the ear
lest practicable date. 49,.
The hearing is to be before not fewer
than three circuit judges, or, II there
are not so many in the circuit, one dis
trict Judge may be substituted. In case
the judges disagree the case is to be
certified to the supreme court of the
United States for review. Appeals to
the supreme court in the ordinary man.
ner also are allowed.

q resolution offered by Mr.. Stewart

mittee on the District of Columbia to
make inquiry regarding the wholesale

NORTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS

THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
Educational Association Meets at

Establish Machine Shops
at jamestown.

The North Dakota Educational as
sociation, in session at Fargo last
week, adjourned to meet in Grand
Forks next year. The session was
rather featureless as there was less
politics than usual, but the general
work Of the association seems to have
been conducted with more profit than
formerly. There was little interest In
the resolutions of the general associa,
ton. The only new idea in the depart
ments came from the superintendent.
who advocated school appropriation
based on the actual school attendance
rather than the pupils of the school
age. The work of the last day con.
sisted of business session and cleo.
tion Of officers. The officers of the
general association are: President.

dent. F. E. Smith. Fargo; secretary.
A. P. Hollis, Valley City; chairman OF
executive committee, J. H. Worst. A
committee was appointed to arrange

hibit at the st. Louis exposition.

NIGHT SIGNALS AT SEA.
Electric System For Flashing Letters

{ ELECTRO System For Flashing letter.
OF tho Code From Liners. N
Arrangements have been completed
recently by which the steamship
Deutschland Of the Hamburg American
line, when next she sails from New
York, will be equipped with a system
OF electric light signals which, it is said,
will show any letter or number so visi-
bly that it can be seen for five or six
miles at sea, says the New York Her
aid. The inventors assert that not only
does it offer better signal facilities than
the fare light and lantern system now
In use, but that it also records every
signal which is transmitted.
The system is an expansion Of the
electric carriage signals now in use at
the Metropolitan Opera House, in New
York. and, like its predecessor, is the
invention Of Mortimer Norden, an elec.
trical engineer Of New York. The sig.
nal boards will be placed on each side
of the grillroom roof of the Deutsch-
land, and the letters and figures will be
ten feet high. It is asserted that with
SAO 0A0 VI q AA6AI glass lAC 6ASuAIS VIII
be visible for nearly seven miles,
The signal system will be composed
Of four boards on each side Of the ship.
On each board will be monogram of
electric lights, so placed that every let
ter in the alphabet and every numeral
can be formed from them. The differ.
ent monograms are operated by indi
vidual switches, fitted with a space be-
tween the contact points sufficient In
size to admit pasteboard card. These
carGs are perforated with holes, as ,ne
occasion l1ay require, so that only such
points of contact are brought together
when the switch is opened as will be
needed to light the bulbs required in
forming letter.
The cards are so made that they will
only At the slot for which they are in
tended. When a signal is sent, the
cards may be placed in an envelope and
filed away. On the envelope are in
scribed latitude, longitude, time and the
sender's name. This renders a COM
plete ana practically unalterable record
Of every message.

The United States contributed in a

Shops for jamestown.

Surveyors have been at work in the
vicinity of the roundhouse at James.
town TOR some time ana Inis has given
rise to a rumor that the Northern Paci.
fic shops will be removed from Fargo
to jamestown. An official of the
Northern Pacific recently remarked
that the storehouse was coming to
jamestown and it would not be very
long before the shops we're removed to
this city also One reason for tho
change is that the Northern Pacific
switch tracks are being crowded west
in the Fargo city limits and it will
probably be necessary to utilize the
site at present used for the shops for
switch tracks. The Fargo shops are
too small and it is intended to build
new ones, modern in every particular.

Eats, and Hangs Himself.

Gjermund Knutson, farmer living
near Reynolds, killed himself by hang.
ing in a shed near his house. Knutson
was fifty-five years of age, a prominent
farmer, well-fxed financially, and a
man whose family relations had al.
ways been pleasant. No cause can be
assigned for the deed, as he had not
at any time given evidence of insanity
He had been in to breakfast and had
gone out to the barn. His wife wanted
to speak to him later and went to look
for him and found his body dangling
from one of the rafters in the shed.

TO GRAND JURY.
Evidence Showing a Coal Combine al
49, * @'.-F=- Cleveland.


Cleveland, Jan. 8.-Some sensational
testimony relating to the action of the
large retail coal dealers in conjunction
with the wholesale dealers for the al
legged purpose of controlling prices was
submitted to the grand jury during the
day by several small coal dealers who
had been subpoenaed to appear as
witnesses. The statements of the wit
nesses were to the effect that there
was an association of retail dealers
in the city which had to do with reg
ulating prices. 1t was declared that
the small coal dealers were forced into
the combination by the large dealers
and compelled to pay the association
rates on penalty of not being able to
purchase coal at all. 1t was also said
that the large dealers have an under
standing with the wholesalers and that
they discriminate against the men con-
Quoting business upon small scale.

their faces. They went along and lay down
near the switch until the car arrived. II
