Coroner's Jury Fails to
Reach Verdict in the
Emma Davids Case.
A POST MORTEM TO BE THE
NEXT MOVE.
O'Rricn, Mahan and Dalton Will
Be Held Pending Result
Of Post MOrtem.

An inquest over the body OF
Emma Davids, who died yester-
day morning in room over the
European hotel and saloon, was
held this forenoon and after con-
siderable evidence had been
taken the coroner's jury went to
it's room. The jury returned
shortly after the noon hour and
demanded that post norton
examination of the body be made.
+ Coroner Marcum allowed the
jurymen to go but they will be
summoned again as soon as the
post norton has been completed.
The testimony taken at the
inquest developed nothing that
would point to foul play and it is
generally believed that the wo'
man suicided.
However, William O'Brien,
William Mahan and John Dalton,
the former bartender at the
place, are still being held on
various light charges and were
present at the inquest today.
They will be detained until the
outcome Of the case and ifa crime
is developed more serious
charges will be placed against
them.

Lady Jane Grey,

Lady Jane Grey was the most learn

ord. Before she was nine years old
she wrote beautiful hand and was
able to play on many different instru-
ments. She could speak several Ian
guaGes, both ancient and modern. be-
sides being well grounded In philoso-
ply. When other children were PLAY
ing she would alnuse herself by read
ing writings Of the philosopher Plato in
the originaI Greek. Perhaps it was be-
cause she had led very lonely life
when she was child, as her mother
and father were often away Mt court,
leaving her to the care Of her govern
ess and her schoolmasters at the
gloomy family place called Bradgate..
The big square house was bnilt on the
edge OF great forest surrounded by
acres OF uninhab ited land. There were
very few books and not any newspa-

American buildings seem small in

and will cost $3,500,000.
This mill will give employment to

and strength of the thousands who
will be employed on the upper floors
escalators will be provided which
will lift 1000 of them to the fourth,

IAIPOTENT "KNOCKERS."

Since The Evening Times made its
first appearance, less than three
months ago, it has met with a certain
ill-conceived, jealous opposition,
which, nasty and cunning in it's meth
DDS, cowardly in every move, I'M
scrupulous in each subtle maneuvre,
has made strenuous effort to check
and to hinder the establishment of
newspaper in this city having for it's
aim the best interests of Grand Forks;
the pushing of every movement, no
matter where or by whom which
meant for the good Of the city and the
state at large.
This opposition has appealed to pub
lie sentiment in manner cunning but
short-sighted, for the prime movers
have apparently ignored the fact that
the public can not always be fooled by
deception and utilization.
The Evening Times mapped out a
straight line and a square, upright
principle. 1t took as its motto "a
Square Deal for ALL" and it has lived
up to that motto to such an extent that
citizens who at first stood off and
looked on with suspicion are now
candidly expressing their approval of
the course of the paper, realizing that
it is a credit to the city and to the
state generally.
There is nothing so cowardly as the
cur which snaps and runs away. The
newspaper which, seated upon ped
estal of its own construction, made
possible by long years of unmolested
supremacy, meets a rival competitor
with SLY innuendoes and contemplate
falsehoods. is unworthy of public sym
pathy or of business support.
The Evening Times has won out in
! spite of the combined hammerings of
the morning organ and the fangless
| snaps of its puny imitator.
Its staff is meeting with courteous
| treatment from the public, and it is
| printing the news. To continue along
this line is the policy of The Evening
! Times and it wishes to serve a final
notice upon the cowardly coterie, who
are just awakening to the fact that
there is something doing in the news
paper field of Grand Forks, that it has
only got fairly started.

PROTECTING THE DEPOSITORS.

Sometime ago the Evening Times
based an editorial on the question of
providing fund for the protection
of depositors in national banks which
fail, on public address delivered by
q prominent banker of this city.
Since that time the plan proposed
by the banker mentioned has been
formulated into bill which has been
introduced in the lower house of con-
gress by Mr.. Gronna of this state.
1t may be true that the bill will not
become a law at the present session
of congress, for radical changes in
any system which affects such large
interests come slowly.
But there are merits in the proposed
legislation which conservative bank
ers we'll know, and there are dangers
to be avoided which the law would
accomplish that reach every one who
trusts his earnings to the keeping of
financial institutions chartered by the
national government.
The remarkable thing is that when
e. bank fails either through the defal-
cation Of officers or the inability of
debtors to make good the loans they
have procured, the people who suffer
most are the small depositors-men
and women who have placed the little
store provided for the rainy day, or
upon which to depend when the hands
should refuse to longer toil-who have
placed their all in the care of these
institutions.
The man who keeps his money in
circulation through his business vital
ity, seldom has more than his business
balance on deposit, and this is a small
percentage of his actual working cap
ital. Moreover, he is in daily touch
with the financial world and is able
to detect the first little cloud on the
horizon and get into safety before the
storm bursts.
Not SO the confiding ones who are
not SO situated, and when the blow
falls it often ruins them forever.
Congressman Gronna proposes to
tax national banks one per cent and
