The Open Door in America.

A few days ago an American of ad-
vanced ideas travelled across the conti-
nent to urge President Roosevelt and
Secretary Shaw to lend their influence
for the establishment on our sea-coasts
of free ports. The plan is to wall off
and patrol sections of the coast where
raw material designed for export as fin
ished products can be landed and man
ufactured without having to pass through
customs channels. That the system
would greatly stimulate and perhaps
revolutionize our foreign trade is con-
ceded by economists and statesmen who
have given the idea consideration. 1t is
likely. however, that before the expert
ment is tried Congress will waste valu-
able years in discussing it. Meanwhile
a number of European cities have added
immensely to their wealth and foreign
commerce by establishing these free
centers of imports, manufactures, and
exports. Hamburg, Copenhagen, and
Brennan have for many years enjoyed
the benefits from free cities in their
harbors.
There is one factor that may bring
about these free zones in the United
States. In the dominant party there is
a widening breach on the question of
the tariff. Construction of these free
cities for the unrestricted importation
of all material to be manufactured for
export trade would doubtless reunite
fthe two factions in the Republican
party, and thus materially affect the
political destinies of the country.-Har-

KOCH TRIAL IN FULL SWING.
Taking Of Evidence Begun In Famous
Murder Case.


Mankato. Minn., April 26.-The
Koch trial Is now in full swing. The
taking of evidence began during the
morning, and the state made consid-
cradle progress in developing its case.
Several witnesses. including Doctors
Weiser and Freitsche, were examined,
and the evidence was almost identical
with that of the same witnesses at
the New Ulm trial. In only one par
ticular was there any change of base
on the part of the state noticeable,
and that appeared while Witness
George Schmidt was being examined.
The state failed to ask him whether
he saw Koch have any package under
his arm, wrapped in manila paper,
when he saw the dentist on the even
ing Of the murder. At the New Ulln
trial one OF the points made by the
state was that Koch carried such a
package under his arm, the theory be-
ing, that it was the hammer with
which the murder was committed. 1t
was left for this to be BROUGHT out In
cross.eXamination; ;Sb:r the witness
memory had been refreshed by refer
ence to his previous testimony.
DR.. Koch is still out on bail.

Supreme Court Orders Stark TO Show How
She Attached Hettinger.
The Bismarck Tribune of An

The Bismarck Tribune of April
IS says; THE supreme court to-
day issued an order to Stark
county through its commissioners
and the county auditor directing
it to show cause on May 16 next,
why chapter 60 of the session laws
of 1903 should not be declared
void. The order was issued on
motion of Attorney G. w. Newton
& iDullam, who, with Attorney
General Erich, Attorney R. N.
Stevens and Attorneys Voss &
Hanley of Mandan, are attorneys
for the plaintiff in the case. This
case grows out of the vote for the
annexation of Hettinger county to
Stark county, the law providing
that majority vote of each county
was necessary to secure the an
nexation. 1t is alleged the pro-
position carried by majority vote
Of both counties but not of each" "

MANS INVENTIONS,
Many of the Ideas Used Were Stolen
Directly From Nature.

Many of the Ideas Used Were Stolen
Directly From Nature.
Houses are not the invention Of man.
The idea was borrowed from the swal-
losE.
When the world was young its inhab-
itants were troelodyatcs. They dwelt in
holes IN cliffs. One savage, more enter
prising than his fellows, puzzled his
brains to find out way to construct q
cozy dwelling. On one occasion he
caught sight of II bird gathering bits of
clay with Its beak. 1t was swallow,
and he watched 1t build nest on a
ledge of rock.
"Wonderful," said he. "I'll do like
WISE"
He set to work at once and built q
clay hut. His nclghbors called him the
"mudhole dweller" and laughed at his
house. But, when they discovered that
he was more snug than they, up went
other huts.
The savagcs lived in mud huts until
the beaver came to visit them. In build
Ing house for himself he gave early
man lesson in architecture. The bea-
yer not only showed him how to build
houses that would stand all kinds Of
weather, but instructed him In the art
Of dam and bridge building.
The gentlemen Of the stone age had
boats. This has been proved by the
things left behind them. 1t is doubt
full, however, whether they invented
vessels themselves.
A we'll known antiquarian declares
that the savage stole the idea for the
sailing boat from Il small shellfsh hav-
ing kind Of fin attached to its back.
BY resting on a wave and erecting the
fin 1t can skim over the waters at great
speed when the wind is behind it.
It is generally believed that man in
vented the thatch to keep barns and
ricks dry. AS Il matter Of fact, it was
the weaver bird that gave the idea to
him. With its bcak it constructs q per-
fectly made, large, ralnproof shelter, or
thatch, over its nest Tho Zulu huts

The Koreans White Dress.

AS the Koreans are obliged to
dress in white for three years for
every case of death, and as once
three kings died within ten years,
by which deaths mourning was
imposed on the whole nation, the
majority of people chose rather to
dress continually in white in order
to avoid the great expense in
volved by repeated change of
clothing. The women make these
garments, and every time they
have to be washed they are entire
ly taken to pieces and beaten for
hours with wooden paddle in
order to obtain the metallic gloss
which is considered particularly
beautiful. May Housekeeper.

SENATOR EATON SUSPENDED.
Milwaukee Man Barred From LegisIa.

Milwaukee Man Barred From LegisIa.
ture During Present Year.
Madison, Wis, April 26.-The state
senate at night by "a vote Of % to s
suspended Senator Barney A. Eaton
Of Milwaukee, representing the
Seventh district, from further partici-
patton in the legislature during the
year of 1905. An effort to expel was
made, but failed to secure the neces-
sary two-thirds vote required under
the constitution.
This action on Eaton was the result
of testimony given by the senator at
his recent trial in Milwaukee for al
legged graft of which he was acquitted.
The testimony in question was taken
by the senate as assailing its dignity.

DROP IN MAY WHEAT
ANOTHER HEAVY DECLINE IN
PRICES ON THE CHICAGO
BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago. April 25.-Remnants OF
the famous Gates line Of May wheat
were thrown upon an unsupported
market on the board of trade here
Monday, adding a further decline Of
TIC to the sensational 11hc break
of Saturday. This recession from the
dollar mark, the last price Of the
previous session, was rapid and spec
tacular and was accompanied by
demonstrations in the pit almost equal
to those Of Saturday. When the final
bell closed the days operations, May
wheat was being offered at 93c. . net
loss of 7c on the days trading.

Bank on a Solid Foundation.

Milwaukee, April 24.-.Frank G..
Bfgelow, president of the First Ma
tional bank of this city and former
president of the American Bankers
association, has defaulted the banks
funds to the extent of $1,500,000. The
directors of the bank have deposited
In the bank sum sufficient to make
the institution perfectly solid. Mr..
Bigelow has been placed under ar
rest.
The capital of the First National
bank is 81 100000 and the surplus is
$1,200,OOO. Mr.. Bigelow has signed
over property to the bank amounting
to 100000. making his net defalca-
ton about $1,200.O00.
Aside from the surplus, which will
meet the amount of the defalcation.
the sum of $1,s35,o0o has been sub.
scribed by directors to meet any de-
mands which may be made on the
bank. The comptroller of the cur
rency has been notified and has been
asked to make an immediate examina-
ton of the bank.
Mr.. Bigelow's defalcation became
Saturday night. He admitted that
the amount had been lost in specula-
ton and that he had falsifed the
books to cover up the defalcation.
Assistant Cashier Implicated.
Henry G. Coll, assistant cashier of
the hank. has been removed, charged
with having been party to the falsi-
ncation of the figures in the banks
books. The announcement of the de-
falcation was made by George P. Mil
Ter, one of the directors of the bank.
An intimate friend of President
Bigelow, discussing the case, said:
Wheat speculation has cost the
Bigelows their name and the bank a
large sum Of money. 1t Is family
tragedy as we'll as tremendous shock
to the financial circles of the city.

At p. m., an hour before closing
the bank, the crowd of depositors
seeking to withdraw their deposits
had swelled to about 500, extending
out over the sidewalk into the street.
