REPORTED TO
Com.
That is What Bill Introduced
by spoonheim Provides for
Much Interest in It.

There has been considerable inter-
est taken in the bill introduced by
Senator Spoonheim of Grand Forks
county requiring railroad companies
to report to the railway commission
statements of all wrecks in which any
person is injured or killed.
The provisions of the bill are that
any railroad company operating
line of railways in this state shall re-
port to the railroad commissioners
all accidents, wrecks or casualties
occurring in the operation of trains.
wherein any person is either killed
or injured. The report must be made
within sixty days of the time of the
accident. When such a report is
made, the commissioners shall exam
inc into the cause and circumstances
of the wreck, and the railroad COM
pany must comply with any reason
able requirements prescribed by the
commissioners calculated to prevent
the repetition of any such accident.
Biennially the commission must make
to the legislature summarized re-
port of all wrecks, together with any
recommendations for legislation that
they deem proper for the greater pro-
lection of passengers and employees of
such railroad. Failure by any person
to comply with the provisions shall
make him guilty of a misdemeanor.

ALMOST INSANE FROM ASSAULT
Kenmare Man Who Was Slugged Sew.
eral Weeks Ago May Never Re.
gain Possession of Senses.

1t has just come to light that F.
w. Amsler, manager of the Kenmare
electric light plant has never regained
consciousness since the vicious as
sault which was made upon him some
time ago. Mr.. Amsler Is we'll and fav-
orally known to many Grand Forks
people being an old resident of the
state and connected with various cleo
trio plants over the northwest.
Mr.. Amsler was slugged and left
for dead at the time Of the assault,
robbery being the motive for the deed
but although the authorities have
labored hard and long no traces of
the perpetrators of the hideous deed
have been discovered.
Information regarding his sanity
has now been filed with the county
court at Minot and the insanity board
will have a hearing today. The I'M
fortunate man has been showing I'M
mistakable signs of mental derange-
ment of late and the hearing Is a
necessity.

and the board finally appointed
Charles Eccles an employee of DR.. E.
j. Davidson, to do the work of the
inspector subject to the direction of
DIR. Davidson. DR.. Davidson will be
the official milk inspector, however,
and his appointment to the position
will smooth over what little emnity
there might have existed between the
milkmen and the city council as he
is regarded as fitted in every way for
the work by the milk dealers of Grand
Forks.
The work of inspection will prob
ably not be taken up for a month or
more and in the meantime the milk
dealers will have had ample time to
make any changes in equipment, or
premises that are required under the
new milk ordinance.

GRAND FORKS MAN
SHOULD GET THE
POSITION
That is What B. B. jackson
Thinks of Commercial Club
Secretaryship.
HIS IDEA OF THE MATTER
The Young Man Who is in
Every Sense a Grand Forks
Man is Person Wanted.
HIS IDEA OF THE MATTER
To the Editor of The Times,

To the Editor of The Times,
Dear Sir: The writer has just
read an item appearing in your col
umns, relative to the club secretary
ship, in which we learn that the COM
mittees of the Commercial club, State
fair and County fair boards have not
decided finally just who the secretary
shall be, but casually mention the
fact that a M. c. Bachelor of Mime
apolis is around seeing the business
men and may put in his application
for the position.
The mere possibility of some "out-
slider" being selected to fill this posi-
ton is just cause for protest. Bust
ness men will continue to do these
things it seems. It is certainly de-
plorable thing, the sadest condition of
affairs imaginable, when our older
heads elect a stranger, nonresident
at least, to fill a position that should
rightfully go to some Grand Forks
man, for by that every act they admit
they do not think there are any cap
able men in our own city, men with
the ability to fill this Office.
The same conditions exist every
where, to a certain extent. If John,
James, Richard, or whoever they
might be are comparatively young
men, no matter how capable they are,
if they were known from their boy
hood days by these wise old business
men, the, time surely comes when
these older heads will show the effect
their earlier impressions has had up
on them, though it be years ago, by
their action in getting help from out
of town to fill responsible positions.
They can never quite get the idea in
to their old craniums that those
young men, who are available at home,
have really grown up and are men
able to take the responsibility usually
given to applicants from affair.""
Young mem have been known to
recognize this unfair condition and
for that reason have rushed away
from their home town to new fields
where the struggle will be man to
man." where judgment will be passed
upon Luoul LOT ulelF luLFluSlC value,
there being no earlier recollections
of boyish ways the applicant may have
had to cloud or prejudice the judge
ment of the employer. l come to you
as man to man and you Judge me from
my present actions, or you should at
least-if you knew me as boy,
will remain a boy longer to you.
There is absolutely no getting around
it you business men are doing an in
justice, 1t may be unconsciously, but
you have done 1t are doing it now,
and as history repeats itself, will con-
tinue to do it. Young men will con-
tine to 60 away from their home town,
why shouldn't they leave-outsiders
get the positions so much easier.
John, James or Richard would
stand better show of being elected
secretary of something-or-other III
some other city-you will gladly give
him recommendations for he is honest,
trustworthy, willing and capable, but
you have not positions for him.
Give this Office to a Grand Forks
man.

Weberg continues in the same mood
Seemingly Indifferent as to the mur-
der, exhibiting no sorrow whatever
that he committed the crime, he re-
mains a puzzle to those who have
come in contact with him since he
was placed in Jail.
He speaks freely of the affair, but
claims that he does not remember
anything about the shooting. He ask
ed of Deputy Sheriff Arnot whether
or not he had killed the girl, and later
asked the same question of another
deputy.
The preliminary hearing may be
held in Grafton Thursday. The con-
dition of the roads between F,airdale
and Grafton has made traffic almost
impossible, and for this reason, it is
not certain just when the hearing will
be had,

PETITION IS BEING
CIRCULATED
TODAY
Property Owners Want Inter-
national Avenue Connected
With Bulge Avenue.

j. NJ. Carroll one OF the heaviest
property owners of the west end of
town is circulating a petition among
the residents of the Fourth ward and
of Bulge and Eshelman's addition to
Grand Forks, asking for the extension
of International avenue across the
Great Northern right of way just
north and west of the site of the old
round house, to join with Bulge ave-
nue. after crossing Block r and cor
ner OF Block @.
The petition is being literally sign
ed as the opening up of the new por-
ton of International avenue will
mean much to the residents of the
Fourth Ward particularly as under
existing conditions University avenue
provides the only means of ingress
or egress to that portion of the city.
The Great Nohtern road has prac-
tically opened up the street across its
land where formerly side tracks took
up the space and Mr.. Carroll seeks
to have survey made across the
blocks above mentioned so that Bulge
will connect directly on to the end
of International extended.
Water Main Extended.
Another petition is being passed
around among the taxpayers asking
the city Of Grand Forks to put in
new water main in the same section
of the city, this new main to conect
with the International water main,
thence extending westward along
Bulge avenue several blocks. possibly
to Thomas street if the property own
ers so desire.
New Lateral Sewer.
A third petition asking for lateral
sewer. which to empty into the main
sewer at a point near the site of the
old baseball park. This new sewer
if put in will extend from Eshelman
street between International and
Bulge avenues to Marvel street near
the Houghton warehouse.

PROVISIONS OF THE BILL
Just What the Act Provides
for-Protection From Fires
Necessary.
PROVISIONS OF THE BILL

Travelling men of North Dakota are

as Senate Bill No. 16 and It is a bill
for an act providing for the erection
of fire escapes in hotels, inns and pub
lie lodging houses and providing for
the appointment of an inspector Of
hotels and his compensation therefor.
The passage of such a bill by the
legislature has been in the minds of
the travelling men for some time, and
the famous West hotel fire of Mime
apolis did much to start the ball roll
ing
H. w. Num- Of Grand Forks, one Of
the well known travelling men is out
with a petition to Gov. Burke asking
that he be appointed hotel inspector in
case the bill is passed.
Briefly the provisions of the bill are
as follows:
That any building advertised as q
hotel and containing more than ten
rooms for hire of transient guests

garded as distractions.
There shalt be posted in each room
notices directing the way to all fire
escapes.
Every hotel must be provided with
at least one fire extinguisher for every
