CITIES HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN
HEARING ON HOME RULE BILL
Local Officials Feel They're Ignored by
legislature-HalIy Hands knocks
to Senate Measure.

Detroit city officials are getting
rather peevish on account OF the fail.
ure OF the legislative committee In
Lansing to name a hearing day, when
the representatives Of the cities OF the
state may go to the capitol to argue
for what ttey may want In the home
rule bill. No invitation has been sent
out to the cities as yet. and the CON-
ing adjournment OF the legislature In.
dicates that none may be had.
Corporation Counse. Hally will make
one trip to Lansing. at least Mayor
Breitmeyer 10 also likely to pursue the
matter further.
II IF the legislature adopts the senate
measure, new law will be passed In
two years changing some particulars
in that bill says Hally The senate
bill allows only per cent as the bond
ing limit. That Is enough for a city
!Hke- Detroit, but what about other
cities that have already issued bonds
to from six to nine per cent Of their
assessed valuation? They cannot un-
dertake imI rovements until they nave
reduced their bonds TO below the bond.
Ing limit. unless it is by spreading the
entire cost "a such improvements upon
the tax rolls at once.
They VIII not do that. I tried to
get the bonding limit provisions cut
out I'm the constitution but majority
or the constitutional convention held
to the idea that the cities were infants
under the tutelage oi the legislature"
Copies OF the house home rule bill
have not yet been received here al
though the senate bin has been sent to
Corporation Counsel Hally, who op-
poses many Of its features. Copies OF
the Hally hill were presented to each
OF the aldermen Tuesday night

DULUTH HITS FARGO BANKS
Grain Grower Bankers Resist Levy Of
Exchange Fee.

The bankers of North Dakota are
extremely indignant over what they
term an attempted hold-up game of
Duluth bankers to charge so cents eX-
change per thousand on North Dako-
ia grain checks.
1t is an effort on the part of Du-
luth bankers, it is said, to compel tho
small banks of this state to carry d
line OF deposits there instead of with
Fargo and Grand Forks.
Fargo bankers met and selected a
committee to confer with the Duluth
bankers.
If this plan fails it is probable that
Fargo and Grand Forks will send q
representative to Duluth who will look
after all North Dakota business and
each day cash all North Dakota
checks, taking actual currency from
Duluth and shipping it to Fargo and
Grand Forks as IL re%taliatory meas.

SOCIETY WOMEN I'm SMASHUP
TWO Grand Forks Matrcns Have
Periious Experience.

Mrs. O. NJ. Hatcher and Mrs. Fred
Bartholomew, two prominent society
women of Grand Forks, narrowly es-
capped death when their horse became
frightened and ran away, throwing
Mrs. Hatcher out after going half a
block. Mrs. Bartholomew landed i'll q
sand pile q block further on. Tho
horse, a splendid animal owned by
Mr.. Bartholomew, was caught drag
ding behind him the wreck Of a fine
buggy.
Mrs. Bartholomew ard Mrs. Hatcher
were driving in front of the Hotel
Northern when another horse and
buggy ran into them in such a way as
to take Off n of the wheels of their
buggy. The horse was Off like a flash.
Mrs. Hatcher was thrown part way
V e the dashboard and lay there help
less until the first turn was reached,
when she was thrown cut on the pave
ment, but fortunately was only
bruised. Mrs. Bartholomew, who was
driving, at the next corner, was
thrown out.

NEARLY EIGHTEEN HUNDRED
Blind Pig Licenses Are InCreas.
ing in Number.

That there are now 1.791 blind pig
licenses in the prohibition state of
North Dakota is the information con-
tanned in a letter received in Grand
Forks from the collector of internal
revenue at Aberdeen, S. D., who has
charge of the district composed OF
the two Dakotas.
The communication, which is a per-
sonal one, stated there were the above
number of Especial tax stamps" which
is the federal license for selling liquor
and costs s25. 1t demonstrates that
there is a place where liquor is OBJ
tanned in North Dakota for every 244
Of population-twice as many as are
allowed to exist il Minnesota under
the new liquor law which permits Of
but M saloon for every 500 inhabi-
tants.
The collectors letter seems to dis
close, also, the fact that blind pigs
are increasing in number rather than
decreasing in North Dakota, a in 1905
S'S 'hioS vi ISoSAoi iAS1loNs oNNl
aged but one for every 3l9 inhabitants.
Statistics for the intervening years
are not o%btairable. The letter asserts
that the number of federal licenses in
South Dakota is %1,573-or lis less in
the wet" state than in the dry"
state. The large majority OF these
North Dakota federal licenses are is
sued to pool rooms" and soft drink"
dispensarics. where malt" Cat least
so labeled). is sold in large quantities
and fer which there is q surprising
demand.
East Grand Forks, just across the
Red river from Grand Forks, is reap
ing its harvest as a result of tho
licensing OF these places, the Same as
is Moorhead. Just across the river
from Fargo. East Grand Forks has
twelve agencies of as many big brew
ing companies, each agency with its
ample equipment for extensive cold
storage OF beer for thirsty DakotanS.
In addition, there is the East Grand
Forks brewery, where liquor is manu-,
featured right on the ground. The
brewery agencies shipped 81 cars Of
beer into North Dakota in the past
twelve months-not including 100 cars
manufactured by the local brewery.
This 9h4-barrel output is worth $685.
200, or $500 a car. And in addition
there must be added a business of
100000 the past year in whiskey and
strong drink shipped into North Da-
!lota from this same point.
In fact, so large is this traffic at
East Grand Forks that it practically
makes the whole town, employing $50
men, who receive in salaries a grand
total of $1,000 a week This includes
the salaries paid TO the employees of
the forty-eight saloons Of East Grand
Forks, who do Il thriving retail bust
ness with Grand Forks people.

SAYS he IS ALL RIGHT
Hartman Issues Statement Re-
garding His Health,

Arden, \. Y, Aug. 31.-Edward Fl.
Hartman, urged by weary represen-
tatives of the press who have campcd
about his mountain home since
Wednesday last, came out with a
statement that ne was all right.
Though brief. the statement is
straightforward and explicit, with per
haps a touch of patient resentment at
the surveillance to which he has been
subjected and a request that report
ers withdraw, not so much for his
sake, but for his friends, who have
been in%tersected daily coming to and
from his residence by Jealous inter
viewers eager fer the latest bit of in
formation. Ii concludes thus frankly:
"If there should be anything serious
I viii let the press know. and IS I
have deceived them, | ask that
the press now withdraw It's represen-
tatives and rely on me"
Tho message was 50 characteristic
Of Mr.. Harriman's affable attitude TO
newspapers, an attitude which was
marked when he underwent the
strain of n lengthy Interview on the
day OF his return, that most of the
men who have been here during the
scare over his illness returned to
New York, relying on his word.
