FORGAN Denies
A HEAVY Loss
BANKS WILL NOT LOSE se,oo0, 900
ON WALSH INDE5T-
EDNEss.

Chicago, May flames b. Forgan,
president of the First National bank
and chairman of the clearing house
committee in charge Of the liquidation
of the assets of the defunct Chicago
National bank. yesterday issued a
statement correcti. q a report that an
aggregate amount of 100000 of the
Walsh indebtedness has been set down
as a loss by the forty banks which
carried the burden of the failure.
According to his statement the "ag-
gregation amount of the banks par"
ticipation," as 1t now stands on their
books, In therefore less than $500, 900,
against which there is held as collater-
al for series securities OF the face
value of $13,97S,74271, and for series
the coal properties, which have just
been bought in for the banks at fore
closure sale for $4,000, 900. Taking the
most pessimistic WV possible OF the
value of these securities and proper
ties there certainly cannot be much,
10 any. loss to the banks beyond what
they have thus alredy provided for,
and 1t is strongly hoped that sufficient
will be realized on them to prevent
further loss in the matter.

This afternoon is being celebrated by

HARDWARE STORE
IS BURGLARIzED
MooRHEADHARDWARE COMPANY
ENTERED EARLY TODAY AND
SMALL IRON BOX TAKEN FROM
SAFE WHICH 10 DROPPED WHEN
POLICE CHASE THIEF.

The store of the Moorhead Hardware
Co. Front street, was burglarized this
morning about O'Clock, the second
time within few months. The thief
got the value of a cipher for his pains,
and was glad to get away safely be-
yond the range Of Of1cer Crossman's
gum two discharges from which were
sent whizzing about his ears as he
vanished into lumber yard. out of
which he found egress to the woods on
the river bank, off Fifth street south.
Shortly after j O'Clock this morning,
Officer Crossman was passing across
Fifth and Front streets, on his regu-
lar rounds, when he saw man hastily
running towards the Beidler & Robin
son lumber yard. crossman ran after
him and shouted to him to stop, but
the officer was not needed. Crossman
opened fire, still the fleeing man did
not stop and another shot was fired.
After the second shot was discharged
the officer saw the man throw some
thing away. 1t was too dark for the
officer to see which way the fellow
turned and he did not know whether
either of the shots was effective, Turn
ing back, Crossman picked up the ar
ticle thrown away. 1t proved TO be a
small iron box, which showed it had
just been removed from a safe.
Iron Box Is Recovered.
Investigation by Crossman disclosed
that the running man had broken into
the Moorhead Hardware Co. store,
gaining entrance through an unpro-
tected rear office, window. Nothing
was disturbed only the safe, and from
that had been removed the small iron
box, the theory being that cash only
was wanted. All that the box contain
ed was check for a small amount and
an envelope containing a series of
| promissory notes aggregating $4,500,
which had been left with Mr.. Hazen
| for safe keeping. The woodwork sur
| rounding the iron box was removed
| by the aid of knife which had been
/ left on the desk. 1t is a practice, in
4 this establishment, not to lock the safe
door, as 1t is only used to keep the
books in. ......
Chief tof Police Malvey says there is
| no clue to the robber whatever, only
that he was tall man. Manager
Hazen Is feeling pretty good that the
| boxysWas recovered, as the loss of the
notes would have created considerable
i trouble and embarrassment They did
not belong to- him, but to friend
who was leaving town last night and
1 left them there until his return.

Agriculture is to be added to the
curriculum of the Fergus Falls high
school next year. regardless OF the fact
that the school will not receive any
of the state aid, the high school board
having distributed the appropriation

state.
At meeting. last night, the board
of education unanimously decided to
add agriculture to the high school
course and 1t will be taught in con-
nection with the domestic science and
mechanical arts departments. The
board has engaged c. A. Michels, who
has been an instructor In the North
Dakota Agricultural college at Fargo.
as the head and instructor of the new
department. A tract of land will be
leased or otherwise secured as an ag-
ricultural plot and experiments in
cultivation and practical work of vari-
Gus kinds will be carried on there
Mr. Michels Is TO remain throughout
the summer, as the best agricultural
work can be done during the summer
months, and students will have an op-
portunity to secure instruction
throughout the year.
Superintendent Mclean will present
class of thirty three graduates from
the high school this year, eighteen
from the Latin course, seven in the

White SLAVE WAR
NOW BEARING FRUIT
TRAFFIC BETWEEN THE UNITED

TRIES is BEING GRACuAL- ,'
LY BROKEN UP.

Washington. d. c.. May 7.--oficials
Of the department of commerce and
labor are congratuIating themselves on
having so perfected the machinery for
breaking up the white slave traffic
between this and other countries that
the business has been now practically
wiped out.
Mr.. Roosevelt, needing the crusade
of the women's clubs of the country
against this evil, started in his ad-
ministration a movement to destroy 1t.
President Taft has continued the same
policy with the result that the evil
has been reduced to a minimum.
During the fiscal year Of 1908 there
were 100 deportations from the United
States in this crusade and the first
three months of this year have prac-
ticaIly equalIed the whole Of the 1908
period of deportations.

last fall and during the winter a part
