POWER FOR THREE CITIES
Plan TO Dam the Red River Near Hal
stad, This State.

A number Of prominent men of the
Red River valley have formed COM
pany which has as it's object the cree
ton of big dam on the Red river
near Halstad, this state, at the juno
ton of the Red river and the Wild
Rice river, and If they are allowed to
carry out the project it will mean the
construction of the biggest power
plant In that section of the country.
There Is possibility that the cree.
ton of the dam will be frowned upon
by the United States government, as
1t is not clearly demonstrated that
this stream is not navigable to that
point. However. such is the interest
taken in the project by those who
have taken it up that they will send a
man to Washington at once to ascer-
tain the governments attitude
The banks of the river at the point
Of the proposed dam are high and the
river is narrow, forming something of
a rapids, and competent engineer re-
ports that enough power can be de-
veloped from this one dam to supply
ali of the power needed in the cities
of Fargo, Crookston and Grand Forks.

five PEOPLE DIE IN FIRE
Twelve Others Injured in Kan
sas City Rooming House.

Kansas City, Feb. Five persons
were burned to death and twelve 9TH
ers were injured in a fire in a three
story roomins house at 1116 Wyan.

Twenty-Five, Harrisonville, Mo-, wait
ress; Mabel Porter, aged eighteen.
waitress; Nina Graves, aged eighteen,
waitress; Peter Rooney, aged thirty
four, cook; Charles Johnson, aged
twenty-eight, cook.
The fire started from an explosion
of natural gas in the basement. The
flames and dense smoke spread quick
ly throughout the building and before
an alarm could be given all means of
escape by the ordinary exits had been
shut off. The five persons who lost
their lives were asleep on the third
floor and all save Mrs. Bert were
burned to death in their rooms Evi.
IDENTIFY they had been suffocated and
none apparently had even made an
attempt to escape. Before the firemen
arrived the building was a mass of
flames and the rooms on the upper
floors could not be entered. Mabel
Porter and Nina Graves, two of the
dead, occupied a room together. The
injured slept on the lower floors and
in the basement. Most of these es-
capped without aid, fighting their way
through the flames and smoke. The
tiremen were able to rescue others
from the burning building.

WILL REPLY TO CRITICISMS
President Preparing Letter on Subject
of Appointments.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The excite
ment aroused by the presidents spe-
cial message to congress will be dupli-
Gated within few days by the publ
cation of a letter from Mr.. Roosevelt
to William Dudley Foulke of Rich
mcnd, Ind, on the subject of nominal
lions sent to the senate. There have
been charges that the president has
used his power to appoint to boost the
political future of Secretary Taft.
Foulke had been chairman of the
civil service commission. He read
the charges made by senators and
came On from Indiana to investigate.
He saw the president and the secre-
tary of war and went home to await a
letter that he had reason to believe
would arrive by an early mail.

SUPREME COURT THE ISSUE
Minnesota's Attorney General on the
Presidential Campaign.


Presidential Campaign.
That the appointments to the Unit
ed States supreme court are the real
bone of contention in the presiden-
tial campaign was the argument of
Attorney General e. T. Young in a
speech before the Fourth Ward Re-
publican club at Minneapolis. Or
ganiZed predatory wealth, he charged,
is seeking the nomination of presiden-
tial candidates who will appoint judges
sympathetic to the idea of the CEN
tralization of power in the federal
government. There are four Judges
on the bench now who on account of
age and infrmity will probably retire
during the next presidential term. 1t
is important, he asserted, that men be
nominated for the presidency who will
not appoint judges favorable to the
idea of the Capitalization of govern
ment.

new REGIME IN POWER.
Dictator Franco Of Portugal Resigns to
Avert Revolution.

1'S!dtoF franco OF FoFtu9ai resigns 10
Avert Revolution.
Lisbon, Feb. 3.-Premier Franco
has relinquished power and a new
cabinet has been formed with Admiral
Ferreira do Amaral as the president
in the place of the late dictator,
Franco.
This step signalized the practical
withdrawal of Franco from power. He
agreed to this measure as one calcu-
lated to pacify hostile public opinion
at a time when only spark was
needed to infame the whole country
and hurl It headlong to revolution. It
is nevertheless believed that Franco
will still be the man of power" but
his official prerogatives are at least
shorn of real authority.
The opening session of the new
council has been held. King Manuel
H. appeared before his ministers and
with voice vibrant with emotion
said:
II am yet without experience either
in science or in politics. 1 place my
self entirely in your hands, needing
and believing in your patriotism and
wisdom"
The city is still in the throes of
intense excitement and the authorities
continue to follow increasingly the de-
tails of the plot which eliminated in
the assassination of the king and his
heir.
Arrests are being made by the
wholesale in Lisbon and all suspicious
persons still at liberty are under po-
lice surveillance

I !. ! 4 ASYLUM ! !: \
Jury Holds Thaw Insane When
He Killed Stanford White.
MENACE TO PUBLIC SAFETY
Justice Bowling Declares Evidence in
Case Indicates Recurrence Of
Disease Reasonably Certain.

New York, Feb. 1.-Acquitted of the
murder of Stanford White on the
ground that he was insane at the
time OF the commission of the homi-
eide Harry K. Thaw was ordered by
Justice bowling to be committed to
the Matteawan asylum for the Grim
inal insane until such time as he can
convince the state lunacy commission
that his being at large will not endan-
ger the public safety. Thaw was led
back to the Tombs across the bridge
of sighs' and several hours later was
taken to Matteawan
Both Thaw and his wife, the latter
being the only member of the family
in court when the jury unexpectedly
returned it's verdict after a delibera-
ton OF twenty-five hours, seemed
pleased and satisfied with the outcome
of the case. Thaw stood and smiling
ly bowed his acknowledgements to the
jurors as they filed one by one out of
the box. District Attorney Jerome also
seemed satisfied, as he has contended
that Thaw was medically, if not le-
gally, insane. Thaw's counsel thanked
the jurors with a hearty handshake
for each one of the twelve. Attorney
Littleton also filed an exception to
Justice Dowling's decision in retaining
how in ~
to the asylum.
The iurymen all refused to divulge
the secrets Of their deliberations fur
ther than to say that fourteen ballots
were taken.
Dangerous to Public Safety.
In announcing his decision to. send
Thaw to Natteawan Judge Bowling
said:
"The only testimony In this case
upon which a verdict Of insanity
could be based was to the effect that
the defendant is suffering from
manic Oppressive form of mental de-
rangement. This testimony and the
diagnosis of the form of insanity was
based upon prior outbreaks of the de-
PENDANT as testified to by witnesses
from London, Monte Carlo, Paris and
Albany. 1t also appears from the tes-
tinlony, and the court was careful to
inquire as to this, that occurrences of
these attacks are reasonably certain.
There has been no testimony adduced
here to show that a person suffering
from this form of insanity ever can be
permanently cured. It appears, how
ever, that during the maniacal form
Of the disease the person suffering
therefrom is likely to commit danger
GUS assaults or murder. There is dan
ger also of suicide.
Wherefore, upon all the testimony
in this case, the court deems that to
allow the defendant to go at large
would be dangerous to the public
safety. The decision of the court is
that the defendant shall not be dis
charged, but being in custody shall be
so held and committed with all dis
patch to the state hospital for the
criminal insane at Matteawan. The
sheriff of the county is directed to
take custody of the defendant and
deliver him to the state authorities at
MatteaWan,"
