HAVE HOPES FOR
PEACE IN CAR ROW

Chicago, Aug. Negotiations
were resumed today between traction
officials and representatives OF street
car employees Of the city in an at
tempt 10 avert threatened strike on
the surface street car lines. Several
important conferences had been plan
ned for the day.
The first one of these was a joint
conference Of railway officials, wage
scale committees representing all of
the men, Pres. William ID. Mahon of
the international Street Car Mems
union and Walter L. Fisher, who rep
resents the city In the negotiations.
The consensus OF opinion seemed to
be that settlement OF the dispute
would be reached, either through a
new offer by the street car officials or
by means of arbitration, and that re-
course to q strike would not be neces-
sary.

NUISANCE FEATURE
HASIzED ONLY
STATE MAKES NO CLAIM THAT
LIQUOR WAS EITHER SOLD OR
GIVEN AWAY AT SNYDER PLACE
BUT THAT TT WAS CONSUMED
THERE.

Making no claim that liquor was
either sold or given away at the place
owned and run by Rosa and John
Snyder on Front street which has
been in the limelight during the past
week. the state presented an array OF
testimony in the police court this
morning to show that liquor was
brought there and drank with the
consent of the owners. Seldom has
a case been brought in North Dakota
on these grounds. A decision Of the
supreme court has been found that
covers this point, in which the prohi-
bition law is construed to prohibit al
lowing liquor to be consumed with
the knowledge OF the owner OF the
place.
This morning Velma Stevens, Min
ME LaTraille, Anna Roseberry. Albert
GIN, officer Pat Grant and Thos. KEEL
ley were on the stand for the state,
The former girls and Albert Gill testi-
fed that they had drank liquor at the
place while the others claimed TO have
seen liquor consumed there on many
occasions. Velma Stevens and Min
ME LaTraille were the star witnesses
for the city in the cases against the
Snyders several days ago. in which
they were either convicted or pleaded
guilty to the charges.
At noon an adjournment was taken
to 3 o'clock when the state will again
take UP the thread Of testimony. 1t
is likely that the entire afternoon will
be consumed in the trial of this case,
necessitating the adjournment of the
Minnie Phillips case till tomorrow
morning.

.RAzORS MADE TO SELL
Chief MaIvey Gathers in Member oi
the Fraternity Of Sucker catchers
Last Night.

Chief Malvey- had his gum shoes
working fine last night. The chief
has particular antipathy to the ped
dler Of phony Jewelry and he can tell
one Of these gentry as far as he can
see him. The chief got his eagle eye
on suspicious acting chap last night
and hailed him to the station where a
bundle which the fellow was carrying
was opened and found to contain a lot
of cheap jewelry and phony razors.
The man admitted that he had Sc
cured the stuff to peddle out and the
entire outfit was confscated. The
razors were marked Superfine SO ra-
zors. A barber pronounced the razors
dear at 81 each. The parcel also con-
tanned dozen pair Of alleged gold
trimmed glasses which were a sorry
imitation. The defendant was held
pending hearing.

liverpool Markets.

Liverpool, Aug. 24.--There was an
easy undertone at the opening in
wheat and values were %@1kc lower
in sympathy with the lower American
cables yesterday and the fact that the
American parcels were freely offered.
There was no pronounced pressure at
the early trading as the unfavorable
weather In the United Kingdom helped
60 cause steady feeling and the
nearby months advanced hQ%c fol-
lowing the opening. Later, however,

TAKE.

There were a few Tive ones in the
galaxy Of drunks and incapables gath
cred up by the police last night, that ia
they had some money to meet the de-
mands of the presiding justice. The
money. in one or two instances, came
from the most unexpected sources.
One bright looking Celt who had
been hitting the high spets. SO that he
had to be taken care of for the night,
was interrogated in the usual way and
when asked IL he wanted to pay the
fine and costs he snappily replied, why
of course I do yer honor" He tossed
out bill to Justice Malloy, who did
not examine 1t very closely and handed
out $1.50, presuming 1t to be $40 note
to pay fine of $3.50. The defendant
stood waiting. The court looked at
him and told him Ito git" The young
Celt looked and looked and finally with
a merry twinkle said, rs yez honor
color blind. that was a twinty dollar
crisp wan OF handed ter yez, come
agin." The mistake was discovered
and the other ten was handed to the
defendant and away the latter went.

Fears Of damage by rains which pre-
vailed at some points in the north

The distinguishing feature however.
was the general covering Of short
wheat, by both commission houses and
local professionals, chiefly on the
theory that market was entitled to a
reaction. With all this covering the
rally was distinctly feeble Duluth

there can be but one end, that the
