Shortage in N. D.

Asseciated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, Jan. 11-Senator Hans
brough of North Dakota takes pessi-
mistic view of the fuel famine situa-
tion in western and northern North
Dakota. He called at the interstate
commerce commission today and sub
mitted to the commission many mes
sages he had received concerning the
deplorable conditions in his state.
Through many towns of North Dakota,
he is informed, not more than one
or two freight cars have passed since
the beginning of the year. Fuel, either
coal or wood, is not to be had, even
in towns Of $500 inhabitants. The SEN
ator told the commission that people
living several miles from the railroads
were certain to suffer incalculably,
as they were unable, on account OF the
deep snow, to get fuel to their homes,
even II 1t were available in the towns.

NO DECISION YET
Missouri Supreme Court Slow
Announcing Decision in
Myers Appeal.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 11.-Mis
souri's supreme court has not yet
made official announcement of it's de-
cision in the appeal of Mrs. Aggie
Myers, under death sentence for the
murder of her husband.
Mrs. Aggie Meyers and Frank Hot
tman were convicted of the murder
of the woman's husband, Clarence
Meyers, in Kansas City, May II, 1904.
Meyers was an honest, sturdy young
man, in every way the superior of
Hoffman, with whom Mrs. Meyers was
infatuated. After their relations had
gone on for. some time Mrs. Meyers
conceived the idea Of putting her hus-
band out of the way. To this end she
conspired with Hoffman. They finally
fixed upon the night of May IL to do
the deed. On the fatal night Hoffman
called at the Meyers home, taking
with him butt end of billiard cue
with which to commit the murder.
While the two talked over the plans
for the crime Meyers was asleep in an
adjoining room.
Stealing softly into the room, Hott-
man approached the sleeping man,
raised the bludgeon and with terrible
force struck the helpless man in the
face. The blow was ineffective in its
purpose, however, for the victim
lurched, half rolled from the bed and
grappled with his assailant.

His Individual Loss Will Exceed Hall
a Million-Falling Factory Walls

Had Narrow Escapes From Death
Location, Lancaster, Pa.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Lancaster, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE large
tobacco warehouse of s. B. Moss, has
been destroyed by fire. The flames al
SO communicated to the Moss cigar
factory adjoining, a five-story brick
building, which was also destroyed
When the south wall of the cigar fac
tory collapsed, the only truck of the
fire department was buried in the
debris and number of firemen had
narrow escapes from death or injury.
The loss on the warehouse is placed at
100000 and on the cigar factory at
100000. The warehouse of the Ameri-
can Cigar company to the north of the
Moss buildings caught fire, but was
not greatly damaged. 1t Is feared the
total loss will run up into million
dollars.

by the blow he had received, was soon
powerless in Hottman's grasp. AS
soon as Mrs. Meyers saw her husband
helpless in the arms of her paramour,
she seized razor and commenced her
fiendish hacking at the helpless mans
throat, not stopping until he was un-
conscious and apparently dead. AL
together the woman cut IA gashes in
her husbands neck.
When the anger of the woman had
been appeased and gorged by the
sight of blood, Hoffman lifted the dy-
ing man to the bed. Then with the
groans of the murdered man ringing
in his ears and his mind rejecting the
scene of blood and crime, Hoffman
deserted his mistress and fed to the
far west. Detectives traced him to
Denver and finally to Walla Walla,
where he was arrested.
In the meantime Mrs. Meyers had
been arrested and dismissed several
times for lack of evidence. Hoffman
protested innocence at the time of his
arrest. but later he made a full con-
fession Of the crime. After Hott-
man was speedily convicted and given
the death penalty. The case of Mrs.
Meyers was continued half dozen
times. The final verdict was the same
as In the case of Hoffman. Both
cases were appealed to the supreme
court, where both verdicts were in
dorsed. Then an unsuccessful effort
was made to have Justice Brewer Of
the United States supreme court is-
sue a writ of error. When this step
proved as futile as those that had gone
before the friends Of the woman work
ing in her behalf pleaded with Gov
ernor Folk for clemency.

the solemnity of the occasion he pro-
ceeded to deliver his first message to
the legislative branch of the govern
ment. The galleries were a sea of
faces. The visitors included the most
prominent of the society of the capital
and of the state, and large percentage
were ladies. Occupying seats on the
floor were number of the ladies
whose official social positions give
them distinguished prominence in the
state. Probably the most interested
one was the wife of the incoming gov
ernor. Hers was indeed an enviable
position. She was assuming the po-
sition of the first lady of the state
while the ceremonies were making her
husband the chief executive of the
state. Yet she was as calm and digni-
fed and as gracious as though she
were entertaining her friends in the
bosom Of her own aospitable home.
In the House.
The house met at 1880 and was call
ed to order by the speaker. In JUS
tice to the presiding officer it should
be said that he appeared to much bet
ter advantage than he did on the first
day. He was in better voice, and the
tfnge OF nervousness which was SO
noticeable when he assumed his duties
was gone, and he kept the business
moving with swing and grace that
was indeed pleasing. When the rout-
inc business was done the special
committee to which was referred
house bill No. 1 made its report and
recommended the passage of the same.
The bill was Immediately put upon its
third reading and after some discus
sion as to the advisability of striking

Senate Got Down to Business Early in the Game-rs Burke

HlEbandzH the Vote Stood on House Bill No. l.

and measures. Senator Stade of RAM
sey county introduced senate bill No.
5, which also provided for the aboli-
ton of the Office of weights and meas
ures, which bill is identical with that
introduced by Senator Macarthur.
After the introduction of these bills
the report of the house committee,
asking for Joint session, was receiv-
ed, and thereupon the senate headed
by the sergeant-at-arms marched to the
house chamber where the two branches
of the assembly convened in joint ses-
sion, Lieutenant Governor Lewis pre-
siding. The roltcall of the senate was
made by Secretary Foley of that body
and by Chief Clerk Norton of the house
for the house. A joint committee of
two from the senate and three from the
house was then appointed to wait upon
the governor and to inform him that
the joint session was convened and
ready to receive any communication
he might desire to make. This commit
tee consisting Of senators Little and
Cashel and representatives Haugen,
Hankinson and Casey was accordingly
appointed and soon returned escort
ing the governor-elect to the chamber
OF the house where the impressive
formalfttes Of the Inauguration were
carried out. Governor Sarles read his
message in clear and ringing tones
and with the ease and grace of vet
eran. The message speaks for itself,
but the applause which greeted many
of the clear cut sentences showed that
he had dealt out some suggestions
which were appreciated by his fellow
citizens. His references to the late
printing graft which was brought to
the light of day by the efforts of the
Evening Times, showed that while he
might have made some mistakes in
the conduct of his office, there were
others who had not only done thous-
and times worse. but whose faults
could be unequiyocably charged to
their greed and ambition to graft, and
not to their judgment. At the close If
the reading of the message the oath
was administered to the incoming gov
ernor by Chief Justice Morgan of the
supreme court. 1t was something of a
personal pleasure to the two men who
had been neighbors and friends for
years to meet on the threshold of the
door which was swinging open to the
new governor. Many remarked the
greeting between the two as they met
at the speakers desk and shook hands
as cordially as though they had met
on the street of Devils Lake. impress
sively the oath of Office was admins
tered to the new governor. He was
dressed in the conventional Prince AL
bert but wore no bouquet. His face
was careworn, and the lines about the
. always grave mouth indicated that he
realized the serious responsibility
which he was about to assume. When
he rose to read his message to the
two houses volume of applause
greeted him which must have made
him realize tnat he had taken the first
step in the Office which represents not
one party or one faction, but the
whole people. In a voice mellowed by

Bismarck, Jan. 10.-The senate got
down to work yesterday, and while the
house was recovering from the effects
of the recent sham battle the senate
was beginning the work for which It
was elected-the making of laws for
the people. 1t convened at 2 o'clock
this afternoon and after prayer by the
chaplain, Archdeacon Jones, and the
disposal of routine matters, the reading
of the Journal was dispensed with,
and the introduction of bills began.
Senator Sharpe of LaMoure county
had the honor Of introducing the first
bill in the senate branch Of the tenth
Legislative assembly, and the remark
able thing was that the first bill SO
introduced was primary election law.
Moreover, It was introduced by one
who did not hesitate to align himself
with his fellow republicans in
preserving the integrity and vi
tality of the party. The bill
is comprehensive and covers all
the demands. which have been made
by the general public for law regu-
lating the selection of candidates.
There will in all probability be little IL
any objection to this bill in the senate
and it will likely have clear sailing.
The bill was referred to the committee
In elections.
Senator Taylor of Grand Forks
county introduced senate bill No. 2.
1t is one formulated by the municipal
league which recently met at Grand
Forks, and extends the police power
of cities one mile outside the corpor-
ate limits, and permits cities asking for
bids for paving to receive bids on
several kinds of paving at the same
time and under the same proposals.
This is especially in the interest f
such cities as Grand Forks and Fargo,
which under the present law are COM
PEELED to restrict their asking for bids
to one kind of paving material at one
time, SO that it became an easy mat
ter for the concerns engaged in that
particular line to form a combination
and so graft the city by keeping up
the price that the cost to the taxpay-
ers is much more than it should be.
Senator Hanna of Cass county be-
came sponsor for senate bill No. 3,
making Labor day, legal holiday in
this state. The bill deserves a pas
sage and will be favored by the news
paper fraternity who believe that the
moral law should be changed SO that
we could work one day in the week
and rest six. Exery man who advo-
Gates the addition of one more day to
the rest list will find the press ever
ready to support the same.
Senate bill No. was introduced by
johnson of Mclean county, and pre-
vents any person sitting on the equal
ization boards of a county and NUM-
cipality at the same time.
Macarthur of Bottineau introduced
senate bill No. 6, providing for the
abolition of the Office of district game
warden. The bill will not likely be-
come law. Macarthur also introduced
senate bill No. z, which provides for
the abolition of the office of weights
