IS CHARGED WITH MURDER
Wicherski Arrested for killing Mother
Of Mrs. ]. w. Burgess, Of This
City, at Little Falls, MINI,

For the killing of Mrs. Kueffle,
mother of Mrs. ]. w. Burgess. of this
city, Theodore Wicherski was arrested
at Minneapolis by Detectives Lyons
and Purcell, in company with Sheric
Frank Long, of Little Falls, and is to
'be taken back to that place to an
swer charge of murder.
1t seems that, while attending a cell
ebration near Little Falls. some time
ago, Wicherski became intoxicated
and, in an alteration which arose, he
shot in the crowd and the bullet struck
Mrs. Knuffle, entering the abdomen,
causing death.
Wicherski went to Minneapolis and
has been working in the mills. He
was located by the authorities and
the detectives went to his boarding
place and found their man still in
bed. He was placed under arrest and
locked up. pending the return to the
scene of the crime.

Will NORTH DAKOTA
ENTER FIGHT IN
R. R. RATES
Minnesota Attorney General
Will Probably Ask Assist
ance From This State.

Attorney General Young of Minne-
sofa considers the suits brought by
the railroad of such magnitude that
he held conference with his assist
ants to discuss the advisability of in
viting the acknowledgement of New
York, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and
North Dakota to take part in the de-
tense of the suits.
The attorney-general in discussing
the matter. prepared the following
statement:
In the suits just commenced the is
sue is squarely raised as to the power
OF the states to regulate their domestic
commerce or fix railroad rates for
either passengers or freight. even on
business beginning and ending within
the state.
1t is claimed that the fixing of such
rates by states necessarily affects the
rate of interstate commerce
1t is pointed out in the complaints
that ii the several adjacent states
through which the roads doing busi-
ness in Minnesota carry on their in
terstate business adopt the same
rates as Minnesota, the rates there
after on interstate business could not
be greater than the sum of the local
rates from the points which the BUSH
ness originated to the state lines and
from there to the point of termination
and that therefore interstate rates,
which are exclusively within the juris-
diction of congress, are effected and
as a consequence state regulation
must be abandoned.
l consider the argument unsound
and revolutionary in the domain of
railroad regulation and it is of most
vital importance to all other states as
we'll as Minnesota.
This would be especially true as to
states that have passed a 2-cent fare
law where it has not yet gone into
effect
may conclude to take the matter
up with the encouragement of Iowa,
Illinois. Indiana. New York and other
states where state laws regulating
rates have been passed and invite
their cooperation.

CONCERT HIGHLY ENJOYED
Grand Forks Military Band Appears
in First Open Air Concert Of
the Season Tuesday.

That Grand Forks has a musical
organization in the military band that
it should be proud of was demonstrate
ed to large crowd at the corner of
Third street and Alpha avenue Tues
day evening. The first open air con-
cert OF the season, and the first open
air concert since w. w. Hall took
charge of the band as director, was
a genuine surprise to all. The i'm
provement noted in the work of the
organization was wonderful. Every
member seems to be right at home,
and with a continuation of last nights
work, one of the big advertisers for
this city will be the Grand Forks
Military band.
The program last night was a va
ried one, and in every instance the
band acquitted itself with marked
credit.

Henrietta Crosman.

Henrietta Crosman will appear at
the Metropolitan June 10 in "All-of-a-
Sudden Peggy" coming direct from
the Bijou theatre in New York, and
with the distinction of one of the most
popular successes in her career. Miss
Crosman. in "All-of-a-Sudden Peggy"
plays an Irish part, as she did in
Sweet Kitty Bellaire" and Mistress
Nell" with the difference that the
present character is of an up-to-date
type of young woman, whereas Kitty
and Nell belong to the past. "All-of-
a-Sudden Peggy is modern play with
scenes laid in England. 1t has been
described by certain critics as farce,
rather than comedy. Before Miss
Crosman made distinct New York
hit in it the play had scored a not
able London success, having run the
greater part of last season at the
Duke of YOrk's theatre. 1t is consid-
cred among the cleverest comedies of
recent times. one of the best ever
brought to this country from En-
gland. Miss Crosman as Peggy O'Mara
is young woman whose character
is APPLY described by her mother, the
widow O'Mara, in the remark, Moth
ing's impossible where Peggy's con-
cerned when she's in one Of her wild
moods" from which it may be gath
cred that the girl occasionally departs
from strict lines of conventionality.
Peggy means no harm; she simply
doesn't see why ones conduct should
be judged by appearances and the
worst construct always put on every
thing. Peggy's mother schemes to
have the girl marry Lord Anthony
Crackenthorpe. Peggy launches
counterpart, which aims to have her
mother become Lord Anthonyis wife.
His relatives are conspiring to keep
him from marrying because he sup
ports them. Peggy delights in teas
ing Lord Anthony's family and, at
length, she pretends she has eloped
with Jimmy Keppel, younger son of
the house. ENGAGEMENTS from this
escapade arise from Peggy's failure
to tell Jimmy she is supposed to have
run away with him.
"All-of-a-Sudden Peggy is credited
with an uncommon share of wit and
humor. The comedy is brisk and
keen, the situations hilarious, the
characters droll and amusing. 1t is
rush of mirth and merriment. Miss
Crosman is at her best as the viva
cious, impetuous and affectionate Peg
gy. who never looks before she leaps
till after it's over"

GRADUATES OF THE
uN|VERs|TY[|ARE
PLACED
Those From Mechanical and
Electrical Engineering
Start Work.

All of the graduates in the college
of mechanical and electrical engineer
ing of the university have been placed
for next year. a. E. Webb and Evan
McIlraith go with the General Elec-
trio company at Schenectady, n Y.
The General Electric company is one
of the two largest electrical manu-
featuring companies in the United
States and it is matter for no little
congratulation that our graduates can
obtain positions with them. Mr.. Nc
Ilraith will remain at the university
as assistant superintendent of con-
struction under Mr.. Reynolds, while
Mr.. Webb will go to Schenectady
early in the summer. Mr.. Emil Ing
berg has accepted position with the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing company at Pittsburg. Mr..
Ingberg leaves for the Smoky City"
Immediately after commencement. If
there were fifteen graduates instead
of three. there would not be the
slightest difficulty in finding good po-
sitions for them for the deans mails
are filled with letters asking him to
recommend good men. Manufacture
ing companies already realize that
this college OF the university turns
out just the sort Of men they want.
The seniors have finished the en-
detrimental work on their theses and
now all that remains is to tabulate
the data and embody them in a we'll
written thesis. Messrs. Webb and
McIlraith have been working on al
ternating currents. and their thesis
will embody the result of these inves-
LEGATIONS. Mr.. lngberg has been work
ing out the plans of power and
lighting plant for city of consider
able size. The members of the class
are also working on designs for in
ternal combustion engines. Each
member has to design a different sort
of engine of this kind. Meanwhile
the seniors are finishing their designs
of steam engines.
Several new courses will be offered
by this college next year. In fact,
enough additional courses will be put
in to enable students to take the de-
gree in civil engineering. Two courses
of this kind are, new course in
lettering. and others in bridge and
roof design. The establishment of a
SOnplCIc COuASc III civil Su6luScl III s
will necessitate the appointment of a
new instructor. This instructor, who
has not yet been named, will have
charge of all the shop work and Of
the freshman drawing. Professor
Becker, being thus relieved from this
work in drawing and from his classes
in shop work, will have charge of
some of the new courses in civil en-
cheering. The remainder will be
taken by Professor Crouch, part of
whose present work will devolve also
on Professor Becker. This will con-
tribute immensely toward better work
in the subjects already offered by the
college. 1t will also mean a very ma
terial extension Of their scope.
Some of the students in the kline
mates class are designing fare regis
tiers for street cars, while the class in
mechanics on the other hand are
studying the very different field of
water wheels, turbines and the meth
DDS of obtaining water from water
falls.
