.fARG0b0NDISSUE
WATER AND ELECTRIC LIGHTING
PLANT BONDS WIN IN A
WALK,
QUESTION ELECTION ] j NlLEGAIITY
Bonds for Erection Of Water Works
Plant and Distribution Of Electricity
Carry With a Rush-some Parties
Raise Issue Of the Legality Of EIee
tion Account Label of Ballots.

Fargo, N. D., April 5:-The bond
issue carried here today by q vote OF
almost nine to one. The vote was 9
heavy one following the hardest fight
that has ever been .waged in a mum.
ctpal election here At 2 o'clock there
had been over sixteen hundred votes
cast and there is every probability
that over 1900 will be cast at the
time the ballots close.
There have been rumors in the ali,
today that the legality of the election
will be questioned for two reasons
First that the Union label appeared
on all he ballots where the law calls
for only the names of the candidates
and the questions that aue before the
people. The issue has been haised in
other states and the label has beer
found not to invalidate the vote. The
other question is to whether the two
issues, the water and electricity were
presented in the proper form. The
rumors are not given much weight
here but is said Dy some that even
the report will have tendency t.
make the sale of the bonds a little
slower
The statement has also been made
that the debt limit of the city has
been exceeded by the proposed issue
of bonds. All these issues will have
to be settled before the bonds car
be issued and the work of installing
the water system and electric light
plant commenced.

His Associates.

Tulsa, Okla, April 5.-Governor
Charles N. Haskell, when called be-
fore the federal court today to answer
to indictments charging him with
fraud in connection with the Musko.
gee town lot cases, made hard fight
against the case coming to trial.
Judge Marshall of Utah, who Is
presiding, heard extended arguments
by both sides in the matter of Has
kell's demurrer and likely will con-
slider a decision.
Governor Haskell's attorneys made
their fight by asking that the indict-
ments be quashed, charging Special
Attorney General Rush with miscon-
Quoting the grand jury inquiry, which
resulted in the indictments. It also
was charged that the grand jury had
been illegally drawn, that a stenog-
rapher had been presenting the in
quiry and that competent testimony
had been the basis of the indict-
ments.
These allegations were vigorously
denied by the government counsel. A
great crow attended the opening of the
trial. People came from all points
in the state to see the unusual spec
tacle Of governor on trial for al
legged fraud. =

The steamer Hamburg, on which
Mr.. Roosevelt was a passenger, COM

on her way to the anchorage with the
blowing Of whistles, tae fiuttering of
many flags and the playing of bands.
Italian warships in the harbor,
steamers of various nationalities, pri-
vate yachts and craft of all kinds
dressed in bunting and signal flags
from stem to stern, added to the pic
turesqueness of the scene, which he
himself characterized as magnificent.
Great crowds too, waited for his
appearance, and when he rode in an
automobile ne was greeted with an
enthusiasm that astonished him.: He
met various official delegations at the
Hotel Excelsior, where apartments
had been reserved for him, scores of
prominent Americans and represen-
tatives of other countries, and to
them all he expressed his warmest
thanks for the welcome he had re

Washington, D. c., April 5.-Three
o'clock p. M, April 9, was the time
set by the house of representatives
today for a vote upon the Payne tar
iff bill. ~--~~~, ~ 80 .-. --.
The long expected resolution from
general debate, providing tor certain
committee amendments and q full and
free opportunity to alter the lumber
and hides schedules, was reported
late in the day and adopted With
sixteen votes to spare, notwithstand-
ing the desertion of twenty Repuhli-
cans. Four of the sixteen votes came
from the delegation which likewise
broke away from their party. Prev
iously to the adoption OF the resolut4
tion there was some severe criticisw
of it from the Democratic members.
Aside from the interest which wa
attached to this proceeding was the
speech Of Mr.. Clark of Florida, who
denounced Bryan and Organism, popu-
lists and populism, and who declared
that he would support the Payne bill
II it contained what his constituents
wante-a duty on cotton and protec-
ton for fruits, pine apples, etc. His
remarks led him into an exciting col
loquy with Mr.. Randall of Texas and
other Democrats, but he declared that
having been instructed by the legis-
lature of his state and his constitu-
ents as to the stand he should take
on the articles mentioned, he would
stand by his solemn obligation to
them. His whole attitude was one Of
defiance to the Democrats of the
house. .s..2,, -
: Before the rule was reported there
were numerous speeches ON the bill.

ADDS MORE VICTIMS
T0LIST Of KILLED

McRae, Ca, April 5.-That Pope
Hill, prominent attorney Of Macon,
is the third victim of an assassin in
the now celebrated Dodge case, is the
belief of the authorities of this coun-
ty. Hhe corontr's jury, after care
full examination. declared this after
noon Hill was murdered by ''parties
unknown"
Hill was found dead in the Office of
a local attorney at a, m. today, a
bullet in his brain, and a revolver,
with one chamber discharged, grasp
ed in the right hand. The condition
of the Office indicated a desperate
struggle. On the floor lay an unfin-
ished court motion in the Dodge case,
drafted by the dead lawyer, which he
came here to file today.
Hill arrived here at noon Sunday
and later went to the home of the
proprietor of a hardware store and
said he had received some threaten
ing letters and wanted a revolver.
He was so serious that the hardware
man opened the store and sold him
the revolver, which was found clasp
ed in his hand. Today Hill re-
turned to the Office and was not seen
again alive. His body was found on
the flood this morning. He had been
dead several hours. The first idea of
suicide seemed contradicted by the
fact that there was no powder burns
on ais face, and that there was ev-
cry indication of desperate struggle
in the Office.
The trail of deaths and injuries in
the Dodge case began in 1891. In
that year Captain John c. Forsythe,
