MORE PAY FARE TO
THE RAILWAY
CONDUCTOR
One Effect of the New 2-Cent
Rate Law in Minnesota
Companies Figuring.

One effect of the 2-cent passenger
rate which the railroads in Minnesota
are beginning to feel and which they
may be compelled to take some meas
ure to restrain is the increased num-
Der of passengers who are paying for
their passage while on the trains.
There is no excess charge at present
by following that practice, and people
have quickly developed the habit of
neglecting to buy their tickets.
One class in particular which is
said to be paying the fare to conduc-
tors are the travelling statesmen. In
view OF the fact that the law in Min
nesota prohibits any more than 2
cents mile being charged. mileage
books are no longer honored for in
terstate travel, and the travelling
salesman has no substitute method
except to pay his way in the same
manner as other people. The rail-
roads are seeking to find some device,
but so far have failed to secure one.
The railroads are not alone in COM
planning of the practice of paying
fares on trains, but some of the whole
sale merchants have been asking rail-
roads II some scheme cannot be de-
vised which will relieve statesmen of
the trouble of carrying big sums of
money for travelling expenses.
II the custom OF paying fares on
board trains becomes more common it
is probable that the railroads may
adopt some method of preventing it.
1t has been pointed out that there is
nothing in the la VITO prohibit the
railroads from refusing to let passen-
gers in the trains unless they show
their tickets, and some such rule may
be adopted. This plan could be car
ried out without much trouelb in large
stations where there are gates lead
ing to the platforms and is being done
to some extent at present. but at
smaller stations there would be some
difficulty in enforcing the rule.

SUICIDE OF HILL
CAME As BIG
SHOCK
Had Left Wife in Evening
Discovery of Shortage Com
pletely Unnerved Him.

The Evening Times special CORES
pondent gives the following detailed
account OF the suicide of A. F.. Hill
at Cando:
"a. F. Hill, who has been the post
master at Cando for several years
past, committed suicide Tuesday morn
ing by shooting himself in the head
with a 80 calibre revolver The bull
let entered his head slightly back of
his right ear, came out the left tenn
pie and dropped on the floor A
shortage of about 81 500 in his books
is given as the reason, although it is
not his statement. The postal inspec-
tor came up last week and discovered
the shortage. Mr.. Hill was not aware
OF the missing money until that time
and the truth came on him like
thunder bolt and when the inspector
said he would have to notify the
bondsmen Mr.. Hill is said to have
exclaimed:
Il would rather be dead than Is
s. face my bOndsmen. Don't tell Il
them until tomorrow
:: 4 4; * Il x X 4 X 81 Il II 4: ::
"Mr. Hill evidently planned his deed
shortly after discovering the loss. 1t
is reported he said to his wife, I'm
up against it and have my choice OF
three things-raise that money by
morning, go to Jail, or commit sui
eide.
Mrs. Hill gave out the statement
that Mr.. Hill had not slept for two
nights and that on the night before
the tragedy he, Mr.. Hill. begged her
to go up stairs to bed, and she being
very tired and suspecting nothing,
went up. After going to bed she says
she heard him pacing the floor. She
arose about o'clock the next morn
ing and going down stairs found him
gone. She Immediately telephoned to
the postoffice but received no reply.
A half an hour later she telephoned
again and this time the employees an
swered, but they hadn't the courage
to tell her what had happened. Mrs.
c. J. Lord and Mrs. ]. H. McCune
were requested to do this. which they
done in the easiest say possible. Mr..
Hill was held in very high esteem by
all who knew him and friends OF his
have said since the tragedy that had
they known it the money could have
been raised in half an hour The
funeral has not yet been held, await
ing the arrival of relatives. The re-
mains may be shipped to Lakoa for
interrment.
"Mr. Hill was an active member of
the Cando band and has rendered them
efficient service, helping support that
institution by playing when he was
not member. The band, in token of
this, are going to contribute floral
Offering for his funeral.
'Mr. Hill leaves a wife and one
child to mourn his loss. Mr.. Hill
said to his wife, L would not care
so much for myself to go to Jail, but
l don't want to for the sake OF you
and Fred!' Mr.. Hill was model
citizen and the tragedy came like a
bolt OF lightning from clear sky and
cast gloom over the entire COM
munity.
The coroner's jury returned ver-
dict OF suicide with revolver.

teams. Mike Kelly caught for the Bos-
ton Brotherhood team, which team
won the pennant Of that organization
in 1890, the only year Of its existence.
Apropcs of Flint there is in one of
the old guides the interesting state
n1ent that in a period of thirteen
years he caught S35 games Of the 1925
that his team played. Jim MCGUIRE
must have a still more extended rec
ord of service.
Doc Bushong was with the st. Louis
American association team when it
won the pennant under Comiskey in
1885, and Charlie Snyder with the Gin
cinnatis when they won the American
association flag in 1882. Not all the
great catchers have been confined to
championship teams, but material
share of the success OF the pennant
winners was due to the presence be-
hind the bat of such masters as Ben
nett, Ewing, Daley. Bushong, Killing,
Bresnahan. Snyder, Kelly, Gilligan,
Farrell, Robinson and other experts,
to whom the mere physical duties of
their position was matter of sec
ondary import. They were generals,
thinkers. planners, originators.
American league successes too have
been made by teams that possessed
this same shrewd, capable type of
backstop. A star in every department
is Billy Sullivan, of the worlds cham
pion White Sox. The Chicagos won
the American league pennant in 1900,
1901 and 1906. Sullivan being with
them in all of those years He is not
only good thrower. but watches the
bases like hawk, so that he is able
to make use OF his throwing ability.
One reason why the Sox hold opposing
teams down so we'll is because Sulli-
van has them tied up on the bases
The catchers of the Athletics, who
won the American league pennant in
1902 and 1905, are Schreck and Pow
ers, the latter being a good general.
The peerless Lou Criger was Bostcn's
mainstay behind the plate when that
club won the American league pen
nant in 1908 and 1904. He is not only
finished workman from the purely
mechanical standpoint. but knows ev-
cry trick of the trade, applies himself
closely to the work at hand and
watches every point.
The worlds championship teams
since the American-National series
began have been the Bostons of the
American league. the New Yorks of
the National league, and the Chicagos
of the American league. Criger, Bres-
nahan and Sullivan are the respective
catchers for these teams, and the
value of each in helping to win the
highest honors in baseball is a mat
ter of record.

S[EUTHS ARE AFTER
COUTERFE|TER
IN DAKOTA
United States Secret Service
Men Are After Much
Wanted Individual.

United States secret service men are
endeavoring to capture gang of ex-
pert counterfeiters who have been OPP
Grating at Duluth and other points in
Minnesota.
Some time ago man who was
known as Carr is said to have sent a
large quantity of bogus coins to a
firm in the east to have them plated.
The imitation was an excellent one,
and would have passed easily after the
different pieces had been guided. An
employe of the gliding factory tipped
off the information to the government
people and officers were Immediately
detailed to investigate.
1t is stated that the man Carr sent
the counterfeits away with instruc-
tons that they be shipped back to Du-
luth again. The secret service people
instructed that watch be placed and
that the man should be arrested and
package containing the queer" 1t is
now believed that he got wind of the
fact that he was being Swallowed and
left Duluth on the first train he could
get.
The government officials are now
in possession of the entire lot Of coins
that Carr sent out to the plating con-
Germ. They are IS. SO and $50 de-
nominations, and the work was most
cleverly done. requiring almost an ex-
pert to distinguish them from the real.
1t is believed that the man Carr is
at the head of very clever gang OF
counterfeiters. and that he hos the
mould and a complete outfit, and that
it is hidden somewhere near Duluth.
1t is now thought that he hos entered
the state of Wisconsin. or has come to
North Dakota, and the officers here
have been asked to be on the watch
for counterfeit money and to notify
coin makes its appearance.

AN EXCELLENT STREET SIGN
Is That in Front Of the Savoy Theatre
Details Planned by o. A. Pc.
foa.Son L. Rona.4x.


A great many people have been at
tracted and have expressed their ad-
miration for the new Savoy theatre
sign and in justification to the Savoy
people and to Mr.. .. A. Peterson, the
theatres electrician, whose efforts
are responsible for the existence of
the sign, it seems no more than fair
to make mention Of it by few words.
The sign is known to electricians
as script sign, the lighting starting
at the bottom of the first letter of the
word Savoy" and following each let
ter consecutively. and thus spelling
out the word with about as much ra-
pidity as one would use in slowly
writing it.
The effect of this is unique and odd,
besides being extremely artistic.
The sign contains 15s lights, 1850
feet of wiring and is operated by a
one-sixteenth horse power motor.
The details were planned by Mr.. o.
A. Peterson, who also personally SUI
pervised its hanging and to whom
much credit is due. Mr.. Peterson, it
might be mentioned. is one of the best
electricians in North Dakota among
the younger men, is resourceful,
earnest worker, and. no doubt, will
make himself heard from later on.

Looking for Fugitive.

The local police have been asked to
assist in the search for Harry B.
Fordmyer, wanted at Devils Lake on
a charge of securing money under
false pretense. 1t is claimed that he
skipped board bill, and also persuad-
ed the landlord of the place that he
was stopping to give him $40 on the
strength of a telegram, calling him
home on account of the Hines of his
mother. Later developments tend to
show that the telegram was fake,
and that Fordnyer got It up himself.

Chautauqua management will have a
bunch that ought to be in at the final
fight for the pennant.
The schedule of the team will be
announced in a short time. At present
it looks as if Devils Lake would open
on its home grounds with Lakota. The
managers of the different teams will
meet in Devils Lake in short time
to adopt the schedule and perfect all
arrangements for the season. AS the
plans for the Prairie league have
fallen through, this arrangement is
satisfactory to everyone in this city
and good financial backing has been
assured.

Three Masses are celebrated by ev-
cry priest OH Christmas Day, to rep
resent the three births of Jesus Christ
of His Father before all ages, OF
the Blessed Virgin, and i'm the hearts
of the faithful. says the Catholic Col
umbian. This privilege was granted
to the clergy by Pope Telesphorus in
the year 142.
In oldcn times two Masses used to
be said by every priest OH January l.
one of the octave Of tho Nativity and
the other Of the Blessed Virgin. Three
Masses We're offered on Holy Thurs
day--one for the reconciliation of
penitents, another for the consecra-
tion of the holy chrism, and the
third to commemorate tho solemn,ty
of the day. Two Masses were cele-
brated on Ascension Thursday-one
of the vigil and the other of the feast.
But these multiplied celebrations
have disappeared except in the case
of Christmas. That feast of joy still
retains its three Masses. Every priest,
although bound to say only one,
should offer up the three; and the
faithful. not content to assist at only
one, should similarly hear three.

The population of County Ferman-
says a writer in the Dublin Freeman's
Journal, was 65,430, and of this NUM-
Der, 36,19S, considerably more than half,
are Catholics, and 29,232 are Protest.
ants. The County Council consists of
ten Catholics and seventeen Protest.
ant members. The proportion of rep
resentation on the committees appoint
ed by the Council is twenty-five Cath
olics and fifty-five Protestants. The Of
ficers appointed by the County Council
and its committees, exclusive of asy-
lur,s number seventeen Catholics and
fifty-eight Professionals. So that while
the Catholic population is 5000 more
numerous than the Protestants of all
denominations. and while the Union
list members of the Council are only
seven more than the Nationalist, out
of the seventyf1ve positions held under
the Council, four-fifths are filled by
Professionals.
The Secretary of the Council, with a
salary of $2,625, is a non Catholic. The
County Surveyor, with a salary of so,-
500, is a nom Catholic. The account
ant and the chief clerk. with salaries
of $3.50 and 1925 respectively, are Prot
estants and Unionists; the three as.
sistant surveyors, with salaries of $3.50
each. are of the same political and re-
ligious complexion. Between existing
officers and seven superannuated Of
ficers III the Fermanagh County Coun-
Gil, those of the Unionist following re-
ceived salaries and allowances amount
ing in all to $25,35s. The total yearly
amounts to $s,1s5, the highest salary
paid to any Catholic officer being s275
per annum, which is the amount re-
ceived by the Coroner of the Newtown-
butler district.
