FOUL PLAY Is FEARED.
Member Of Marine Corps Dies After
Being Picked Up Unconscious,

NEW YORK. March 1.--Suspicions of
foul play have caused an investigation
to be instituted into the death of James
A. Black, member Of the United States
Marine Corps, attached to the New York
navy yard, who was found lying uncon-
scious on North William street, under
the Brooklyn bridge, today, and was
carried into a nearby hallway, where he
died. Mac Mccormick. a marine who
belonged to Blacks company, and Will
liam j. Bourne, a Brooklyn youth, who
picked up the unconscious man, were
detained as material witnesses.
II is the belief of the police that Black
had been fatally drugged along the Bow
cry some time during the night He
was half-breed Indian born in the
Indian Territory, and had recently re-
turned from service in Cuba. Black Is
believed to have had more than $15O
with him when he left the Brooklyn bar
racks yesterday.

Unable to Agree on Legislative
Appropriation Bill.
WHOLE MATTER HELD OPEN
Expected to Report Failure in Both
Houses Today.
HITCH ON PRESIDENTS SALARY
Senate Amendment Making It $780,.
600 Only One of Items Respons-
ible for Deadlock.

The conferees on the legislative, eXecu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill held
another meeting at noon today, and after
being in session an hour or so found
themselves in complete disagreement. Con-
sequently this bill is now completely at a
standstill. and it will be necessary for
the Senate conferees and the House con-
ferees to report this fact to their respec-
tive bodies and secure further instruc-
tons
1t developed today that the conferees
were unable to come together on single
item. Propositions advanced from the
Senate viewpoint were met with counter
propositions based on the already mani
tested attitude Of the House, and finally
1t was decided that there was but one
thing to do, and that was to leave the
whole question open.
The items in the bill upon which no
agreement can be reached are the Senate
amendments increasing the salaries of the
President, the Vice President. the Speaker
of the House and the judiciary, including
the judges Of the Supreme Court and
Court of Appeals of the District of CO.
lumbia.
One of the House conferees said today
that in his opinion the Senate eventually
must recede from it's position, tnasmuch
as the temper of the House was such
ferees Ito walk up the hill and then walk
down again.
Senate Standing Pat.
The original amendment with respect to
the Presidents salary was pat on in the
Senate, and increased the amount from
$4,000 to 100000 year. In the House
this amount was changed to $4,000, and
the 5000 heretofore given for travelling
expenses of the CHEF executive was cut
off. The Senate is standing out strong
for its original amendment and for the
other increases provided
It is expected that the statement OF the
conferees that they are unable To agree
will be presented in both houses some
tirle today. SO that further instructions
may be given and another conference
held. Some influential members of the
House are in favor of that body simply
sending the legislative bill back to the
Senate and not asking for any further
conference. They think that tnis would
bring the Senate to terms.
All of the big appropriation bills have
been passed by the House, and all OF
them except the sundry civil. Military
Academy and general deficiency bills have
passed the Senate. The appropriation
bills now in conference are the legislative,
executive and judicial, the pension. army,
agricultural and rivers and harbors bills.

TODAY IS DAY TO
EAT DURUM BREAD
AND FARMERS HAVE
NOT TAKEN HOLD or PROPOSE
TON AS THEY sHouLD-RIc-
GEsT BOOSTERS FOR DURuM
is NORTH DAKOTA A. c.

Today, Oct. Z, is the day set aside
by proclamation Of Governor JOIN
Burke as Durum day. 1t is the day
on which every North Dakotan who
can do so should eat the products Of
Durum wheat. especially bread and
other food products Of kindred variety,
and boost for the grain generally.
Owing to the fact that the milIers
OF the state who grind durum -four
and the farmers who raise it have
shown marked indifference to the
boosting of the grain the day is not
of the professors at the A. c., who is
a Durum enthusiast
TN fact the biggest boosting that is
being done is being done by the A. c."
President J. H. Worst is speaking
at a Durum day meeting at Carpio in
Ward county and Superintendent
Hoverstad is also speaking today at q
Durum day meeting at Greene, N. D.
The idea of Durum day was copied
from the famous raisin day of Califor-
MIA. Californians were not satisfied
with the market for the splendid raj
sins which they grew in that state and
they devised "Raisin" day to adver-
tise that fruit The growers Of rail-
sins and everyone in the state inter-
ested in their growth took hold of the
proposition with win. The result
was that on Raisin day the whole of
California Toasted on raisins and
dishes made from them.
1t created great local market and
was the means Of starting revolution
in the raisin growing business.
Parties who knew IF this success of
Raisin day advocated similar day
for North Dakota to be known as Du-
rum day. 1t was the idea to create
strong local demand for products of
Durum flour and had the growers TAX
en- hold as they might have done the
results would undoubtedly have been
as far reaching as California's Raisin
day.

Low RATE OF EXPENSE
The Great West Makes tho Best
Showing on Expense and Death
Rate-Lands Big Policy.

In choosing life insurance one Of the
most essential points to be considered
is that the company in which the in
surance is to be placed is operated
economically. No company can secure
desirable results for it's policyholders
IL the expense of writing business be
too high.
In this respect the Great West Life
Assurance Co. can claim the fullest
confidence. A recent article in one OF
the New York insurance journals gave
an instructive comparison OF the ex-
pense rates OF the various companies.
On the basis OF a combined death and
expense rate (the fairest method of
computation) 1t was found that the
highest rate amongst the companies
was 3.13 per cent, and the lowest las
per cent. The average rate was 1856
per cent. A calculation for the Great
West Life on precisely the same basis
shows rate of 1.45 per cent.
Recently prominent merchant In
Toronto, knowing the Importance OF
the expense ratio. carefully investi-
gated the position of the Great West
Life. making comparison with other
companies. The result OF his en-
quiries was a $4,000 application for
the Great West Life. and promise
to cordially recommend the company
whenever occasion arose.
Low expenses and high interest
earnings account for the admirable
results being accomplished for policy
holders OF the Great West Life.

of Cass are again square so far as
the care of pauper sick is concerned.
This morning the board of county
commissioners allowed a bill of 81

clears all cases up to date.
A rather queer state laH operates In
connection with these cases. The city
is forced to care for all contagious
cases. Any bills that can't be collected
by the city are placed in the pauper
class, certified TO the county auditor
and in due time allowed by the coun-
ty board, leaving the city none the
loser on the transaction.
The board checked county officers
reports as well as justice reports, COM
plotting the work for this session be-
fore noon.

Prosecutor General Riolle dismissed
the idea, that the crime had any po-
litcal connection. He studiously
avoided the Felix Faure incident.
While Riolle, garbcd in his red robe
strode back and forth before the tri-
bunal, Madame Steinheil followed him
with lowered eyes. She seemed
scarcely able to keep herself upright
in hr hair and her face, deathly pale,
with dark ringed eyes showed plainly
the ravages the trial has made. She
loks years older than when the trial
began ten days ago.
The prosecutor general reconstruct
ed in the courtroom dramatic scene
in the Steinheil house the night of
the murder, and described minutely
the deaths of NJ. Steinheil and Ma
dame Japy as the state contends that
II was accomplished at the hands OF
Madame Stelnhel.
A tumult of disapproval swept
through the courtroom when Riolle
Carrying his attack to the extreme,
quoted unprintable remarks which he
said had been made by fellow prls-
oners of Madame Steinheil. The spec
tators shouted denunciations of the
governments conduct in the case and
many of them stood on their seats,
shaking their clenche dhsts at Riollc.
Maitre Aubin jumped to his feet and
shouted his objections, saying that as
