G. Skulason of Grand Forks coun-
ty, Major j. H. Frame of Walsh
county and ID. f. McCrea of Penn
bina county.
Mr.. Wolbert is an old-time resi-
dent of North Dakota and the
fact that he has made his home at
Bismarck and has been member
of the legislature, has put him in
close touch with the workings of
the state legislative body.
George A. White of Traill coun-
ty has served his district in the
state legislature two terms, being
a member of the 1905 and 1907 as
semblies.

Johnson's campaign for the Unit
ed States senate. He is an attor-
ney. This is his first term in the,
legislature.
Major J. II. Frame Of Walsh

elect who goes to the state legisla-
ture for the first time, but who

PULLED GUN
ON THE CHIEF
JOHN GREEN PULLED GUN On CHEF
OF POLICE WHEN ARRESTED SAT-
URDAY NIGHTS IN JAIL

Chief of Police Hennighan, for
the second time within the past
few months, had a gun pulled on
him by man whom he was ar
resting. The police have been on
the lookout for several months for
man by the name of John Green,
who was wanted on the charge Of
drawing a gun on Shoemaker Carl
son last summer. Green came to
town Saturday and was spotted by
the chief Saturday night. He was
not willing however to be arrested
and when the chief attempted to
take him in tow he pulled a large
revolver. The chief, assisted by
Policeman Lunceford disarmed
Green before he had time to shoot
and took him to the city jail where
he was placed under lock and key.
He was given a hearing Monday
on the charge Of assault with a
dangerous weapon upon Carlson
and was bound over to the district
court, tail being placed at $500.
Immediately after this hearing
Chief Hennighan had him arrested
on the charge of pulling a gun on
him. Green waived examination
and was bound over to district
court. He was unable to get
bonds and will remain in Jail until
court convenes next February.

STATE PRIMARY
TO Be AMENDED
WHITES BILL WHICH RETAINS PART
OF OLD SYSTEM, WILL Be PRE-
SENTED AGAIN.

Bismarck, Dec. %. North Da-
kota has had its first experience
with the state wide primary law,
and several amendments will be
submitted to the legislature this
winter. Some of the members
would repeal the law and return
to the old convention system, but
the majority will doubtless favor
the retention of the primary, with
some changes. The White bill
will probably be reintroduced at
the coming session, and if SO it
will find many supporters who be-
lieve the present system of direct
nominations tends to destroy par
ty organization.
The White bill provides for a
combination Of the convention sys-
TEN and the direct appeal to the
people on the subject of nomina-
tions. Delegates are elected by
direct vote of the party voters,
thus doing away with the old sys-
TEN of caucuses, where delegates
were selected by a viva voice
vote to the county convention,
which in turn selected delegates
to the state convention. The di-
rect election of delegates would,
it is asserted, do away with the
old manipulation of county con-
ventions or local caucuses by po-
litical bosses.
At the state convention, under
the White bill, if there developed
q difference of opinion among the

INSTRUCTIONS

Be ENFORCED

There being some few cases of
Scarlet Fever reported this past
week, / desire to speak a few
words of caution.
/ would first ask; How many are
aware that failure to report case
of infectious disease, or an in
fringment against the quarantine
instructions as given to you by
the health officer is criminal Of
fense? That for such offense one
may be liable to fine of two
thousand dollars or year in the
county Jail, or both?
Also, have you ever thought
that you may have light case Of
scarlet fever, for instance, and by
your criminal carelessness may
expose your neighbors to what to
them may prove fatal?
The laws in regard to infectious
diseases are very stringent and it
is necessary that they be obeyed.
The essential parts being the re-
porting of every suspicious case
and strict obedience to quaran-
tine Instructions. These laws will
be rigidly enforced, for we want
to stamp this out in the beginning,
and remember that ignorance of
the law excuses no one. If you
are not sure about the limitations,
make sure before you venture.

LIVE STOCK RATES
HELD REASONABLE. n
COMMISSION UPnoLDS RATES ON LIVE
STOCK OF 500, N. P. AND c. N.
ON SHIPMENTS.

Washington, Dec, II, A rul-
ing Of the interstate commerce
commission upholds the rate on
live stock of the 500, Northern
Pacific and Great Northern roads
on shipments originating west of
Velva, Mandan and Denbigh, N.
d. The decision dismisses the
complaint of j. w. Reed, who al
leges the 500 and Milwaukee roads
charge unreasonable rates on ship
ments of cattle from Portal, N. D.,
through the Minnesota transfer to
Chicago.
The basis of complaint lies in
the fact that the minimum weight
allowed shipments originating
west of the three points men
toned above is $4,000 pounds to
the car, while east of these points
4 minimum of $4,000 pounds is
allowed. The commission says
that this arrangement is entirely
reasonable, as west of the line
which runs through Velva, Man
dan and Denbigh the cattle are
usually fattened to point where
they will always load more than
$4,000 pounds to the car.

YORK FIRE
HOSE PROBE
DEMANDED
Mer chants Put 1t Up to
Mayor..Parker Blaze De.
velOps Scandal.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14z-As a result of
Fridays fire in which the Parker build
ing was practically destroyed and o u
lnen lost their lives, the Merchants As
ISOLATION has asked Mayor Mcclellan to
order an investigation Of the hose used
by the fire department and the methods
used to test 1t. An unusually large
amount of hose burst under the high
pressure put on it during the fire when
attempts were being made to force
water well UP into the tall building.
What amounts to almost O. scandal
has developed in the matter. 1t is said
that more than Z per cent. of the
lengths of hose put into use at the fire
burst. The association, quoting a re-
port recently made by a committee OF
the Underwriters Association, says
that the ordinary tests for hose, which
is purchased under specifications which
call for hose to Withstand a pressure OF
300 pounds under a four-year guarantee
have not been made Of late years. 1t
Is also stated that a very large per-
centage of the hose now in use by the
department is more than seven years
old.
After many hours search among the
debris of the Parker building, Fire Pa
trolman John FalIon's body was found
in the cellar last night.
Nothing has yet been found of Fire
man George O'Connor, who also went
to his death in the fire.
