The enumeration OF the Fifth ward,
the first precinct Of the Fourth ward
and the Sixth ward has practically
been completed. These three are the
ones for which enumerators were ap-
pointed by Superintendent of the Gen.
sus Erich, and they got an early start.
The balance of the wards are also in
fairly good shape, so that when the
bell rings for the final wind up Fargo's
census may be considered to be fairly
taken.
One of the enumerators said last
night that he had made curious dis
covery, in that he had counted more
heads of families in his ward than
there were voters registered last spring.
This will give some idea Of how very
thorough has been the work of the en-
umerators. The work Of gathering up
the odds and ends is now going on and
this according to those who know
something about the business is the
most difficult task of the whole work.
Every effort has been made by the GEN.
sus people and particularly those Of
the city of Fargo to get a fair count of
the population and it is believed that
when the result is known Fargo will
be found to be all right.

ROADS TO ASSIST
IN FIGHTING FIRE
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT OF
COUNTRY SIGNS AN AGREE
MENT WITH THE NORTH
WESTERN RAIL.
WAYS.

Washington, May 4.-Secretary Will
son has signed a memorandum of
agreement with the Great Northern
Railway Co., and also one with the
Northern Pacific Railway Co., which
provides for cooperation of the forest
service and the railroads to prevent
damage to the national forests from
fires along all lines operated by these
railroads.
These agreements had already been
signed by r. l. harrington, vice presi-
dent of the Great Northern, and Ho-
ward Elliott, president of the Northern
Pacific, so that they are, by the sigma
ture of the secretary of agriculture,
now in force.
The agreements have in view both
the reduction to the lowest point of
fire risk from the operation of the
railroads and joint action by the for
est service and the railroads to fight
all fires which may start along the
lines. The companies agree to clear
and keep clear of infiammable ma
terial a strip Of varying width, as con-
ditions may demand, up to 200 feet be-
yond the right of way and to pro-
vide all engines with suitable spark
arresters and other standard equip
ment to prevent the dropping of fire.
1t is also stipulated that every ef-
fort will be made by the companies to
operate their locomotives so as not to
be stipulated jointly by representa-
tives of the railroad and the forest
service.

Hamilton, Ohio, May 4.-Too young
to realize that tragedy had made
them orphans, and their father the
author of double homicide, the two
children Of Carl B. Schuck and his wife
romped gleefully over the bloody and
iifeless forms Of their parents.
Policemen attracted to the house by
two shots, found that Mrs. Schuck had
been killed by her husband and that he
had turned the revolver upon himself
Schuck formerly was policeman,
but recently was dismissed from the
service.
From the childish prattle of the tots
the police CLEANED that a quarrel be-
tween the husband and wife preceded
the double tragedy.

A Very Smart Little Afternoon FrocI<.

This new princess front model for
small girls is particularly graceful and
has smart, trim style on the figure.
The material in this instance is linen
lawn with pipings Of red and white
checked gingham; but the model could
be developed in colored Bingham or in
English mohair with equal success. The
photograph shows clearly how the
waist is gathered and set into the
panel which forms the front of the
pleated skirt, this panel being merely
cut at the top in a blunt point and
stitched over the gathered bodice, a
straight belt being stitched across the
Joining of the waist all around. The
hat is one of the Gage models for
children and is Of very soft Panama
straw in cream white with a simple
trimming of satin ribbon.

Plan of President and Senate
Leaders viii Delay AdmiS-
sion of Territories Until Sum-
mer of Next Year.
OBJECTIONS FOUND TO
BILL PASSED BY HOUSE
Administration Insists Next
Session of Congress Should
Have Opportunity to Pass on
Constitutions.
Morning Journal Bureau,
613 Munsey Building.
WAshinglOn. D q. Ian. ID.

While n statehood bill viii be pass
ed by the present session Of congress,
no new stars can be added to the
American flag before the summer of
1911, If the plan now under consider
alton in the senate committee on ter
ritories is carried out This program
is said to have the Endorsement of
President Taft and is understood to
have been the plan under discussion
during the recent conferences between
the president, Senators Beveridge and
Nelson and others on the proposal to
pass statehood legislation at this ses-
sion.
The senate committee plan provides
for the reporting of an entirely new
bill for the admission of New Mexico
and Arizona as states. The Hamilton
bin which has passed the house is de-
cared to be Objectionable to the sem
ate committee on two grounds First,
1t does not provide for sufficient
elapsed time between the proposed
elections in the territories for the
adoption Of constitutions and the
elections for state officers and mem
hers Of congress.
The othcr objection relates to the
protection of public interest in rela-
tion to existing and proposed grants
of land as made under the Hamilton
bill
Under the terms of the Hamilton
bill elections Of Officers Of the two new
states and election of representatives
in congress could follow almost i'm
mediately after the state constitutions
aAn tho
president
The new bill win authorize New
Mexico and Arizona to hold elections
for the adoption of constitutions but
no election of state officers and mem-
bers of congress could be held until
after the constitutions have been ap-
proved by both the president and con-
gress. The effect of this provision
would be to permit the territories to
hold constitutional conventions ana
elections upon the adoption OF the con-
stitutions during the present year. The
constitutions, however, could not be
ratified until congress meets next De
cember. After the ratification of the
constitutions, state elections could be
held: but under the terms Of the pro-
posed senate bill the two territories
cannot possibly come into the union
before the summer of 1911. The re-
publican members of the senate com
mittee headed by Senator Bveridge
have conferred with President Taft
and it is understood that they are un-
animous in favor of this program.
This is substantially the program
which has been under discussion since
the statehood bill came up at this ses-
sion of congress. When the bill was
first introduced in the house 1t was
predicted that final admission would
not come before about eighteen
months. This is about the time which
will elapsc should the bill proposed
by the senate committee succeed.

rop, Haskins & Co, of co Broadway
The failure of both was caused by the
collapse OF the pool ana involuntary
petitions in bankruptcy were filed
against both this afternoon. In the
case of j. M Fiske & CO., the la
hilities of the firm are placed at
$750,000 and assets Of $500, 600.
Counsel for tho firm. however, estl-
mated the liabilities at S2,5Oe,Ooo az
the close Of business Tuesday after
noon with assets or $1,000, 600. lie
did not estimate the arms financial
resources after today's Developments.
In the petition against the firm
creditors alleged the preferential
transfer Of property to one or more
companies and further charges that
the alleged bankrupts permitted q
considerable portion of their property
"to be concealed or removed with in
tent to hinder, delay and detraud
creditors"
Judge Hand in the United States
district court appointed n receiver to-
night
The assets and liabilities are not
stated in the petition filed against
Lathrop. Haskins & Co, although 1t
is alleged that the claims OF creditors
on stock accounts aggregate $4,000
The collapse in the pool today was
brought about primarily by the re-
fusal of banks to make further ad-
vances on the stocks and collateral
and the inability or failure of those
who were long on it to make good inn
paired margins
In all about $4,000 shares Of CO.
lumbus & Hooking changed hands at
a range of from SSlA to %. The stock
closed at 33. a net loss of "a Ia
points. The entire market closed weak
with prices at low ebb.
With the breaking Of the pool there
were reports of an immediate inves-
tigation into the operations by the
stock exchange authorities. This was
officially denied but it seems more
than likely that circumstances viii
force the exchange to take some cog
nizance of the matter.
According to common belief, James
r. Keen, was active in the market
movement Of Columbus & Hooking.
Some of his associates said however
that the Keen interest in the stock
had been Withdrawn some time ago.
The pool had been in existence about
q year.
United States Steel was the feature
of the market today in point of activ-
ity. Trading in this stock totaled 36l-
600 shares or approximately rs per
cent for the days business.
II was reported tonight that two

forced TO suspend tomorrow. 1t was
expected in some quarters that the
failure OF the two additional firms
would be announced before the mar
ket closed and there was talk of the
filing Of a third petition in bankrupt

close of the United states district

UNDER FIRE
Suit Alleges Conspiracy to
Obtain Over Three Quarters
of a Million From Chicago
and Western Indiana,


my mOf0luk bOuruAl oDtCfhi Leh>cH tfAtl
Chicago, Jan. 15.-Charges that
benjamin Thomas. former president
of the Chicago & Western Indiana
railroad; Charles Kapper, former
real estate dealer for the railroad and
John Fetzer obtained at least SS50,000
from the railroad through a real cs-
tate conspiracy, are made in bill for
an accounting filed in the circuit
court today.
The bill was filed by the Chicago &
Western Indiana railroad Accord
ing to the bill the real estate trans
actions occurred in 1906 and involved
The expenditure OF $2,521.S99. The
defendants are alleged to have diVii-
ed the $3.50 600 pfohts
When the railroad wished to ac-
quire property, the bill says, Thomas
would refer the matter to Kappes. Fet-
zer who was in the real estate bus
mess would be directed to make the
purchase and the money would be
turned over to him. Fetzer would
make the purchase and report the
amount paid. it is charged.
1t is declared in the bill that in his
report to the railroad company Fot-
ger would state greater amount

price with Thomas and Kapes. The
bill is sworn to by f. b. Prior, presi-
dent Of the railroad
In June, 1908, Thomas and Kappes
resigned their positions with the rail-
road, and il is alleged they destroyed

loting to the transactions with Fet-
ger

straining any Of the defendants from
