apparently unbalanced the mind OF
Eberhard. but ne showed some OF the
cunning that displayed itself In the
murder plot when the police question
ed him about the murder. The IN.
qulsitors did not believe his first
story and they kept Eberhard on tde
grill until ne weakened and made
confession
An important point in the confes-
sion was the statement by Eberhard
that he had an accomplice in the mur-
der plot He said, however, that his
acc0mplice had no hand IN the killing
of Mrs. Ebarhard This man. who
was ono OF Eberhards friends, has
fed 10 the west and the police are
looking for him. They have his name.
Eberhard told the police that he
had planned the murder two months
ago. lie wrote many letters to his
aunt in his efforts to induce her 10
soil her home in Germany and come
TO this country 10 live. He even
promised that he would marry ner
daughter, Otlhe. and make a com
Portable home for her here.
Then Eberhard recounted the arri-
val of his aunt and his cousin Otillie,
Of his finding rooms for them at
hotel. OF the trip to New Jersey and
the walk up to the railroad tracks.
Afterwards binding rainstorm
which came up as they we're walking
on the Susqnahanna tracks aud this
aided the murderer in his purpose. As
the two unsuspecting women were
plodding along in front of him he
drew his revolver. took careful aim
and fred Mrs. Eberhard fell az the
first shot, but to make sure of her
death. the ASSASSIN fired another bull
lot into her body as II lay on tne
tracks. Then he went in pursuit of
his cousin and tried TO kill her. The
poor girl believed he was trying to
protect her and even up to yesterday
she had insisted that she did not
believe her cousin had murdered her
mother. She accounted for his dis
appearance by the theory that he
probably was shot by the murderers.
When Eberhnrd was searched not n
penny was found In his pockets, Eb-
erhard said that he had buried the
money he stole from Ills aunt He
led the detectives to a tree near
Little Falls and there dug up bun
die OF bills There was S2.i00 IN the

Keep Red River NavieabIe.

The Red river will not be declared
non-navigable from Breckenridge to
Belmont or any other portion, accord
ing to letter received by the Grand
Forks Commercial club from Con-
gresham Thomas F. Marshall. Grand
Forks and other towns along the Red
river have been interested in heading
off this movement, as 1t is considered
Of great Importance to keep the river
open. The movement to have the riv-
er declared non-navigable was started
by street railway promoters who have
been making their headquarters at
Fargo. They do not seem to have
made much Roadway with the war
department. The following is the let
ter of Congressman Marshall to the
Commercial club:
Referring to the matter of having
a portion of the Red river declare
non-navigable, am advised that the
chief engineer Of the army has re-,
turned the papers to the secretary OF
war. with a report which is unfavora-
BILE to the proposition. also desire
to say in this connection that it takes
an act of congress to declare stream
or any portion OF a stream non-navt-
gable. and it is altogether unlikely
that congress would favor any such,
action in the face of the recommends
ton to the contrary from the secre-
tary OF war"

AGAINST STANDARD.
Numerous Cases Of Discrimination
Have Been Brought to Light.

Numerous Cases Of Discrimination
Have Been Brought to Light.
In discussing the proceedings
against the Standard Oil Co. by Sec
rotary Of State Blaisdell on the COM
plant filed by Attorney General Nc
Cue the latter said:
I'VE have abundant evidence that
the Standard Oil Co. has been guilty
of gross discrimination against GER
tain towns of the state, and in my
judgment the secretary of state will
hace no other recourse than to forbid
the company from doing business in
the state, as the state law makes this
his imperative duty. I have evidence
in my Office which plainly shows the
contention of the state, and the case
will be prosecuted with the utmost
vigor. Complaints of this character
have been made from all over the
state, and it is evident that North Da-
kota has suffered from this cause in
a similar way to that Minnesota did
a year or two ago, and which was not
stopped until the matter was taken
into the courts. Our state law gives
us very quick manner of getting at
discrimination cases by citing the
charged parties to appear before the
secretary of state and show cause
why they should not be stopped from
doing business here. and should, by
any chance. that fail. we have the
usual recourse to the courts, but we
naturally prefer the most direct
route
When asked his view of the case.
Gov. Burke said:
Il have been away and knew moth.
ing of the case until saw it in the
papers, but can emphatically say
that any prosecution to enforce any
law will have my earnest support and
the backing of the administration as
far as l can give it. The secretary
of state and the attorney general will
undoubtedly handle this case to the
best interests of the state and with
fairness to the company, and if the
latter IS shown to have Disseminated
against certain people fthe state.
the action the law calls for will TN
doubtedly he melted out to them"

to be held in Devils Lake May 12 and

This promises to be the biggest
meeting that has yet been held and
no effort is being spared to make the
program an attractive one. It is
thought that by holding the meeting
at Devils Lake that the dentists Of
the western part Of the state will at.
tend and take a more active interest
than they have taken on previous oc-
casfons.
The dental supply houses of the
Twin Cities will be represented with

Suspect CAUGHT at Minet.

Vance Bailey, who has been in the
western part of the state for at least
three years. engaged in different oc-
equations, is now in the county jail
at Minot awaiting the arrival of the
authorities of the Toledo &, Ohio
Railroad company, by whom he is
wanted for interfering with railroad
property, serious offense in that
state.
The police received a letter yes
terday stating that Bailey was on his
way to Minot from Chicago and to ar
rest him at once.
Baily left North Dakota some time
ago for Ohio. 1t seems that he was
stealing ride on a train that was
derailed and robbed and he was
caught by the authorities. He claims
to have had nothing to do with the
derailment, but it is evident that the
authorities differ with him on this
point. From Columbus he went to
back to Minot.
Pat Hyland landed Baily yesterday
afternoon at the Great Northern de-
pot shortly after his arrival in the
city. The authorities of the Toledo
& OHIO railroad have been notified
and will be in Minot with requisition
papers in very few days.
The penalty for interfering with
railroad property is from two to ten
years in the Ohio penitentiary.
Baily is about twenty-four years Of
age. and was employed while in Mi.
not on one of the railroads. He is
well known among the floating ele-
ment in Minot.

North Dakota League Wants Il Rec
o0nized 40 Good MILLING Material.

o0ntzed ~ Good Milling Material.
On the ground that their product
has ceased to be an experiment, men,
bers Of the North Dakota Durum
Wheat league have started a cam
paign for better prices.
Since durum became factor in
the Northwest within the decade, it
has. been marketed at difference Of
20 to % cents bushel below spring
wheat of milling grades. In the same
period the big millers at the various
centers have broadened the field in
which they purchase their raw mate.
rails. Applying the most exacting
baking and chemical test, they have
maintained or even raised the stand
ard of their flours, at the same time
varying the mixture of milling wheat
to insure the necessary proportion OF
this or that element. The producers
of durum assert that their product
has come to be factor in the mix
ing of milling wheat, and they want
milling price for it.
The North Dakota Durum Wheat
league held two-days' session at
Grand Forks last week. Among the
speakers was Prof. Ladd of the North
Dakota school of agriculture, who re-.
ported that analyses of -four from va
rious milling centers showed good
proportion Of durum. Other speakers
urged that, in view of the value of
durum as a reliable crop in areas
where other varieties of wheat might
fail, it was important to the state to
have durum marketed on the basis of
the uses to which it is put

dent of the Durum league; T. R. At

executive committee is composed Of

Forks, M. G. Bachelor, secretary, is
backing the league.
Committees are to be appointed to
confer with special legislative COM
mittee. The first move, it is said,
will be to gather samples of all -four
from the milling centers where du-
rum wheat is used, and to determine
and publish broadcast the quantity
of durum wheat used in each brand
of flour. Next will be summing up
of the attitude of the big millers and
their trade publications towards du-
rum wheat, the whole leading up to
an Introduction of the matter into
the Washington arena, with the hope
of the appointment of a congression-
al committee of investigation.
Minneapolis millers say that if the
North Dakota men believe there is

wheat, they are mistaken. There are
thousands of -four mills in the United
States, more than thousand within

a matter of supply and demand. The

bushels durum last year, which was

in a moderate way, but the producers
