EIGHT LEAGUE TEAM.
TO Be FAVORED
BY REPORT
Northern League Magnates to
Gather in City Tomorrow
Circuit to Be Formed.

There will be gathering of the
magnates Of the Northern Baseball
league in Grand Forks tomorrow. At
the recent meeting of the. board Of
control at Duluth, committee on cir
cult was named and ordered to report
to the meeting in this city tomorrow
Since that time all interest in the
cities of the prospective circuit has
conferred on this committee. f. H.
Kent of Grand Forks is out of the
city and his whereabouts cannot be
ascertained by President Price or
other members of the committee. The
work has thus fallen to the lot of
Messrs. Lamb Of Winnipeg and Van
Praagh of Duluth. AS Mr.. Van Praagh
has moved to Winnipeg, the work has
all been done in that city.
1t is understood that the committee
will report favoring an eight team
league. The first proposition will be
to have the circuit this year include
Brandon and Winnipeg in Manitoba,
Grand Forks and Fargo in North Da-
kota, Crookston and Duluth in Minne-
sofa and Superior and Ashland, Wis.
This would be strictly all Northern
Pacific league and it is understood
that the committee has the assurance
of very cheap rates. The other re-
Fort will substitute Portage LaPrairie
for Ashland. The only objection to
these circuits is the great distances.
The plan is to give the larger and
better towns the greater part of the
games, making the schedule for 100
games. Crookston, Superior, Ashland
and Brandon would not have as many
games as Fargo and Grand Forks,
while Winnipeg and Duluth would
have many more than any of the other
towns. In this way it is hoped that
the large and live towns will harry
the. others.
President Price of Fargo is ex-
pected up this evening. Matt Car
mitch will also be here from Fargo.
Van Praaph and Lamb will represent
Winnipeg. A. w. Keulnow, Duluth; N.
S. Davies and Sam Rosenthal, Crooks
ton; A. o. Towey, Superior. There
will be representatives from the
towns asking admission.

versity Of Manitoba and opened the
debate in good form. His argument was
strong and to the point. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Ware for the u. N. D.
His opening address was an index of
the strong debate the Americans were
to put up. Mr.. Chisholm spoke for
the Manitoba college and was follow
ed by Scott Cameron of the u. N. d.
team. Manitoba's last speaker, Mr..
Daykin, was followed by Mr.. Johnson
of the U. N. D., who made strong
plea for his side of the question. The
rebuttal on both sides was fast and of
the kind that wipes out arguments, but
Mr.. Johnson of the U.>N. D. was by all
odds the strongest of all the speakers.
The decision rendered by the Judges
was unanimous in favor of the u. N. D.
After the debate a banquet was given
the visitors, at which toasts were an
swered to by many of the visitors from
North Dakota.
Resolved, That American munich
palities should own and operate their
own street railways"
Proviso, the American municipan-
ties shall be construed to mean the
municipalities of Canada and the Uni
ted States.

last "A very excellent drum corps
gave a correct imitation of the real
thing IN martial. The long roll, or call
to arms by the snare drum made the
old boys Of "'61" fairly rise from their
seats. The drum corps during the
evening rendered many of the old,
stirring airs of the fearful days of the
greatest revolution of all history,
much to the delight of the audience.
Frank Smell, accompanied by Miss
Marion Titus, sang number of the
songs with which the boys used to
while away the tedious hours of camp
life or sang to renew their courage in
the dark hours of the Wilderness or
while they climbed the dizzy heights
or Lookout mountain or astounded
the world at Missionary Ridge. Com.
rade Secord Sang take-off on March

vulsed his audience.
General Brown made brief address
on the subject of war songs and took
occasion to correct statement by
Prof. Squifes to the effect that Grant
was uOlcdIcu III luC uFSL SIX QdyS
fight of the Wilderness. He alleged
the grim old soldier won every day
while blood flowed in rivers and the
slain were piled high, while, like fate
he moved "by the left flank" and
crushed Lee. The general told of the
singing of THE Vacant Chair" on the
evening of McLellan's retreat from
before Richmond after seven days. ter
rible back and fighting. He also sang
his song on the Army Beam" which
was greeted with enthusiastic APP
plause. General Brown is respected
and revered as few men ever are and
his appearance in public in Grand
Forks is the signal for enthusiastic
applause.
The evenings entertainment closed
with stirring music from the drum
corps.

.PRENDSS Tells Of
D|E|VELOPME|:NTOF
HIS system
Grand Forks and Vicinity to
Have q Wireless Telegra-
phic System.

The Evening Times is in recent IL
communication from Henry Prentiss,
Jr., special agent for the American De-
Forest Wireless Telegraph company,
who, as was announced III recent
issue, is at Grafton in the interests Of
his company. He says that he will be
in Grand Forks in few days and that
he will make every effort to induce the
\ people of the city to become Interested
In his projected system of wireless
telegraphy. He is meeting with en-
couragement at Grafton and expects
to install a station there and at Grand
Forks In the very near future. His
communication:
Editor Grand Forks Evening Times
Historians tell us that man has
passed through the stone age, the
bronze age, the iron age, and It has
been suggested that today we are in
the electrical age.
On May "a, 1914, Morse sent his first
message over the wires stretched be-
tween Baltimore and Washington, in
these words: What hath God
wrought?" Duplex telegraphy was not
reached until 1872, and multiplex not
until 1873. The first Atlantic cable
message, from Queen Victoria to Pres
ident Buchanan, was sent August 16,
1858.
The telephone, which perhaps more
than anything else has revolutionized
modern business methods, reached the
domain of the practical about 1876.
That in a few years it would leap
from a scientific toy, pronounced by
j. Gould, to be worthless as a factor
in business, to an instrument of uni
yersal utility, not even, the most opti-
mistic prophet would have ventured
to predict.
The development of electricity for
power purposes, and the dynamo for
its generation has all happened within
about 40 years, and to the names IF
Hjorth, Wilde and Siemens has been
added Weston, Brush, Thompson,
Houston, Edison, Westinghouse, who
have contributed to the perfection of
the dynamo and the utilization Of cleo
trio currents.>
The first electric railway was built
in the United States in 1885, The Are
lamp OF the modern type was Develop
ed between 1878 and 1883, and the IN
candescent lamp came In 1883.

Winnipeg, Feb. 17.-Last evening be-
fore packed house at the Congrega-
tional church in this city, the U. N. D.
debating team won the fifth interna-
tional debate from the Manitoba uni
versity. 1t is a strange coincidence,
but of the three debates held in Win

the two held in this city have been
won by the Manitoba college. The

themselves the stronger team and won
after a hard-fought debate.

BELLIGERENT
HUSBAND
Full Of Grog Lands in Lock Up After
Varied and Unsuccessful Attempts
to Do Away With Relatives Who
Turned the Tables on Him.

North Fourth street was the scene
yesterday afternoon of combination
of tragedy and comedy that finally
landed Jos. Stewart in the clutches
of the law. Having imbibed too much
of spiritual exhilaration, according to
the story, Stewart it seems went home
and began caressing his wife with a
club. She rushed from her home and
in an attempt to escape, fled into the
house of Leo Gilmore. Before the
door could be closed, Stewart had also
entered and Rugged his wife SO severe
ly about the neck with his hands that
she was nearly severed from the at
mosphere. A small brother of the
woman rushed to her aid and drew the
attention of the man to himself, and
so tantalized him that he began
pursuit of the boy, who to give his
sister time to escape, kept just out of
reach of the prodigious club with
which he was threatened. The disci-
pie of Bacchus was gaining on the
boy and prepared to swing his club
to fell him to the earth, but the club
caught on wire clothes line over
head, the club rebounded and hit the
wielder in the mouth dismembering
several teeth, and prostrating the
body upon the frozen earth. At this
point the father OF the woman and
boy appeared, and while the family
terror was wiping the stare from his
eyes, the righteously indignant father
proceeded to deal out justice in large
chunks in rapid succession, until the
former belligerent was reduced to
state of Weakness he had not known
tor many years. Upon special invi-
tation delivered by a police officer
Stewart called upon Judge Church
and was directed to serve the state
eight days without pay, or pay the
state eight dollars without service He
chose the latter and the city gath
cred in the sheckles while his friends
gathered him in.
