The first electrical and thunder
storm Of the year broke over the city

O'Clock this morning it reached it's

Illuminated by the frequent flashes of
vivid lightning. The rain fell in tor

above its usual level by the increased
flood. The streets and sewers re-
ceived a good washing but in many
places the sewers were unable to car
ry off the water as quickly as it &C
cumulated and it flowed over the side

WALTER PAULUS WAS ON HAND
ADDING MUCH TO THE PYRO-
TEcHNIc FEATURES FINAL
scoRE WAS S TO 3.
POLO LEAGUE STANDING,
Richmond 5; New Castle 3.


The spirit OF '76 prevailed with
Richmond in the polo contest at the
coliseum last evening and with much
difficulty the locals nosed out a vic
tory in the last period by the score OF
8 to 3. The game was fast and full of
exciting crisises and in nerve-racking
features was perhaps the best game
Of the season. Even the New Castle
r~ooters, so to Is strong. who accom-
panied the Flower City team to Rich
mond. said that it was no disgrace to
be a losing team in such a battle. One
Of the most interesting parts of the
game was the jeering of the rabid
fans from New Castle and the antics
of Walter Paulus. ex-fireman and al
ways q polo rooter. The playing of
Nolan, the Richmond boy at second
rush for New Castle was the feature
Of the contest, while Bulla and Sharp
as rushers and Lancaster at goal for
Richmond are entitled to much credit.
Among those present from New
Castle was r. Ritter, retired ball play

Because Captain Nolan of New
Castle wanted to put Red Marine in
at rush TO replace Sampsell, while
the latter repaired his skate, the New
Castle bunch. headed by May. left the
f1o~, ool r,f,,caN f1 r,lov Tho Oonon
was delayed until Sampsells skate
was fixed. This was the only feature
of the contest which marred it from
being a good one.
At the end of the second period the
score stood 5 to 3. Sharp won the
first rush in h third period and in
s seconds Gagged the ball for the first
goal. In AZ seconds later he had Gag
ed his second goal for the inning and
insuring victory for the locals. New
Castle played hard to win and bonn
barded the goal almost continuously
during the period but Lancaster was
able to stop those drives which his
defense did not. Lineup and sum-

Senate Committee Makes Re-.

That Superintendent |! Is
Short in Ills Accounts
$5,SS2

At the night session of the senate
last night the special committee ap-
pointed to investigate the Office of
Superintendent of Instruction w. L.
Stockwell made it's report to the SEN
ate. The report Is quite lengthy, but
briefly stated is in substance as fol-
lows:
That the total amount of fees re-
ceived by the superintendent from
county and state teachers certificates
was 23,590, Of which the superintend-
ent has accounted for $$17,711, leav-
ing a balance, which the committee
claims is due the state, of $5,SS2. The
superintendent claims that he Is en-
titled to this amount in addition to
his salary, he holding that the law
does not compel him to turn over any
balances after paying the
expenses of reviwing the teachers
examining papers and other expense
items provided for by law. The COM
mittee claims that the constitution
and general law provides that all fees
shall be turned over to the state, and
there the matter stands. It has been
stated that it has been the practice
under other administrations for he
state superintendent to retain all sur
plus fees after these certain expenses
have been paid and the committee
recommends. that the governor direct
that the examiners department make
a thorough examination of the office
since statehood and If necessary upon
the findings, to direct the attorney
general to bring suit for recovery.

BLIZZARD

New York, March 5.-As result of
| the March blizzard which swept
down unannounced during the night,
the middle Atlantic seaboard from
New York to Norfolk found itself to-
day buried in an ava 'aHche of snow
and swept by destructive winds. For
! time here today conditions seemed
to threaten a repetition of the great
blizzard of March ~, 1888, but tonight
the storm has abated to less alarming
proportions and there was promise of
mild weather tomorrow
For the telephone and telegraph
companies, the storm was one Of the
worst in years. Wires in all direc-
tions went down st the winds first

trail point of America, for the time
being, was completely i~olated, and
at a late hour the only means of COM
munication between the capitol and
crippled telegraph wires, one to New
York, one to At1e nta and the other
to Charlottesville, Va. No telephone
or railroad wires between Now York
and Washington or Baltimore were
working.

ricane struck a widge of territory !

NECKLACE
Worth $4,000 Picked Up
in Gutter, But Finder
Was Arrested

Omaha, March 5.-While trying to
sell to Albert Edholm, local jeweler,
a necklace worth several thousand
dollars, John D. Sclavinitis, GGreek
who for convenience sake ellis himself
SAWS, was arrested today by the Oma-
ha police. The necklace consisted of
a single string of sixty-three pearls,
carefully matched and set with dia-
mond of unusual size. According to
Mr. Edholm, whose opinion is cor
roborated by other experts the strand
may be valued as high as $4,000.
The police had received from the
New York department a description of
the necklace, which wassaid to have
disappeared from the Knickerbocker
hotel in that city November 26, last.
This information, however. did not re-
veal the name of the owner.
SAWS says he was employed by
the KKnickerbocker hotel for thirteen
months on the position known as a
sidewalk man. He was sweeping
refuse from the sidewalk into the
gutter and as he brushed it over the
curb he saw the necklace r. in the
gutter with some rubbish He picked
up the string of jewe's held it up to
the light and examined it and then
put it in his pocket.
He says several PERSONS witnessed

framed tariff bill which it is under

collection Of an inheritance tax, one

To the Members of the Ele0enth Legis

Sirs Il beg leave to correct and en-
ptatieally contradict certain statements
made in the report of the house com
mittee appointed to investigate various
state Offices, submitted to the speaker
March 2, 1909. The trustees of public
property consists of the governor, sec
retary of state and state auditor, and
this board as matter of fact has au-
.thorized the incurring of every bill for
legislative and state office supplies dur
ing the past two years, (except for
printing, which comes under the ap-
proval of commissioners of public
printing and auditing board).> This
statement made therefore in the report,
that the Legislative supply bill in ques-
ton "was never authorized by the board
of. trustees of public property and, was
purchased by Secretary of State Blais-
dell without authority of law is either
statement of malicious prevarication
or one of inexcusable ignorance.
1t has been the custom to distribute
part of the orders for these kinds of
supplies among local Bismarck dealers.
The fact that nearly all of the state
deputies have business interests outside
their official capacities is so we'll known
that it is an absurdity for any one

boards have and probably will continue
to patronize various local Bismarck
concerns with which there is posi-
