Wonderful Journey Made

CRAIG DEMANDS PROBE OF THE POOLS IN WHEAT AND COTTON
 BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

probable violations of the law, shall be laid before a grand jury.
 In the preamble of the resolution reference IS made to the fact that the wheat corner of 1909 so far advanced the price of wheat that the manufacture of flour was curtailed and the price of bread increased.
 The resolutions are supplementary se- ques of the resolution of May 12, which attracted much attention by reason of the fact that they were strong demands for fair treatment of the south and the men who dealt in the souths principal product. MT. Craig at that time made the statement that 1t appeared that all O. the investigation and prosecution were of men who were on the side of the market favoring just prices of cotton and that men who for years had done all they could to batter down the price Of cotton and men who were believed to have actually raised the price of food were not troubled by the Attorney Gen eral. .r.
 At that time it was rumored that the Attorney General had been duped into permitting the department of justice to be utilized in freeing the bears from con tracts which they had made in spec ula- ton and now found that they could not discharge

 "These resolutions are the natural se- quence to the resolution of inquiry in. troduced by me and passed by the House of Representatives on May F, and to the answer of the Attorney General. in which he admits specifically that he is not prosecuting the wheat manipulators and by his failure to answer the in- qury of the House as to whether or not he is prosecuting the bears who havc raided the cotton market and repeatedly depressed the prices of cotton. admits that he is not prosecuting them. In other words, he is not prosecuting any friend of the cotton product.
 "The object of my resolution is to compel him to prosecute the man who would destroy the intrinsic value of cot ton by raising the market and the men who forced the price of flour up beyond reason last summer by manipulating corner in wheat"

Indiana polis June 13.-Soaring to a height of 4Ss4h feet Walter Brook ins, in Wright biplane. broke the worlds aeroplane record for altitude in the closing event today In the na- tional aviation meet at Indianapolis speedway.
 Brookins' achievement followed ex- hibition flights by several of the pu- pills of Orville and Wilbur Wright. None of the other entrants in the meet was prepared to take his machine out of the aerodrome with the exception of c. L. Bumbaugh of this city, and his biplane was wrecked before he had well started
 Bumbaugh lost control of his for ward steering planes and the machine fell to the ground from a height O. 10 feet and was smashed with the aviator under it. The wreckage took fire and Bumbaugh might have been burned to death had not mechanics run to his assistance.
 He was slightly cut and bruised.

liam Washington, and when he visited Charleston
in the year 1925 he was guest at the Ancrum
residence, Mrs. Ancrum, the mother of Mrs Da-
wilson, being daughter of Colonel Washington.
Mrs. Davidson, then child six or eight years
old, remembered the visit perfectly and kept
until she died a present which Lafayette had
given to her, the grandchild of his old friend and
comrade In arms.
There is no statue of Washington in Lafayette
square, though one day there may be, for it is
said to be possible that Andrew Jackson may be
put elsewhere and George Washington may take
his place. The nearest physical approach, so to
speak, that one gets to the first president, in La
fayette square, is in the White House. which
fronts It, 1t may not be generally known that the
White House was completed before Washington
died. 1t was only few days before his death,
as Washington tradition has it, that George and
Martha Washington walked through the recently
completed White House, to give their approval
or disapproval, as 1t may be, Of the arrangement
of the rooms. 1t Is possible that that visit to
the capital was the last which the Father
of his Country made, for it was only short time
afterward that he died at his country seat Mount
Vernon
Reference to Mount Vernon brings to mind
the fact that there is living in Washington today
an aged man named John Lane who is the only
living person who ever saw George Washington.
Now, inasnNch as the Father Of his country died
Ill years ago, this may seem to be something
pretty close to false statement on its face, but
1t is the truth nevertheless
When John Lane small boy the driver
of a stage that ran between Washington and
Mount Vernon asked the lad If he wanted ride
and the answer hasty climbing up to the
seat of honor by the driver. The boy made the
trip all the way to Mount Vernon and arrived
there just as they were removing the body o.
Washington from the old tomb to the new one
In order to make certain that the remains hat
not been tempered with by ghouls who not lonl
before had broken into the old tomb the cofal
was opened and John Lane. aged ten, was lftet
up to look on the face Of the Father Of his Coun

taken a company of naturalists to Alaska with
him as his guests He had had delightful time
with the scientists and they had profted much
in knowledge way by the trip to comparatively
new fields | found that Mr.. Hartman was Keen
ly interested in birds, trees, shells, flowers,
stones and mammals, and that he knew and ap'
precfated nature in all its FORMS That was the
only time ever saw E. H. Hartman, but from
what he said during the two hours and half
spent in his car that winter night was not at
all surprised when l found out that he had pro.
vided a fund for geological research.
Across Lafayette square, due west from the
Cosmos club, is the vacant Decatur mansion.
This house was built by Commodore Stephen De-
catur in the year 1919, and it was from its por-
tails that he went forth year later to meet his
death at the hand Of james Barron, also naval
officer, who had challenged Decatur to duel. 1t
is American history and the circumstances are
known to all, but 1t might be said that it was
Barron who was in command Of the United
States ship Chesapeake at the time 1t was over
hauled by the British ship Leopard and searched
for alleged deserters from the British navy.
Books have been written about Lafayette
square, but the stories that are told about the
men whose statues are in the square, and about
the men who lived in the houses surrounding it,
are endless, and not all Of them, perhaps have
found their way into print. The statue of Lafay
cite was erected at one corner of the square not
long after the statue of Andrew Jackson had
been put in place In the center of the square,
provided square can be said to have center.
Lafayette visited America in 1925, and even to-
day one hears occasionally of some living person
who remembers his visit.
Not long ago there died in Chicago, at her
home on Elm street, the aged Mrs. Davidson.
She was born in Charleston, S. c. Her maiden
name was Ancrum; she was granddaughter of
Col William Washington, first cousin of George
Washington. 1t William Washington who
at the battle of the Cowpens fought hand-to
hand fight with Colonel Tarleton of the British
forces Colonel Washington succeeded in cutting
off the thumb of Tarletons sword hand and
then there was interference which separated the
combatants

oner Thomas Zeien was called to Lind
strom early in the week to view the
keeper who according to the report
had shot himself,
The mans wife was questioned and
upon hearing her story and that of the
next door neighbor of the family the
coroner decided that Mathson had
come to his death by his own hand,
having shot himself while in fit of
mental arrangement.
During the night Mr.. Mathson had
been awakened by what he thought
was the noise made by burglars In the
house. He took a revolver and made
an investigation Of the house, accom-
panied by his wife. They found MOTH
ing, but Mathson refused to be con-
WINGED and remained up. "A short time
later Mrs. Mathson. hearing her hus-
band talking to himself or to an imag-
mary foe, feared that ne was not In
his right mind and went to the rooms
Of her neighbor in the same house, TAX
ing her child with her.
A little later several shots were
heard in the Madison rooms and after
physician was SUMMONED an investi-
gatioH was made and Mathson was
found dead with a bullet wound In his
head. He had shot several times into
the walls of the room and evidently be-
lieyed he was defending himself He

They are the children of my niece,
and she was making a convenience of
me. OF course love the children, but

of a victim of imposition My niece is
an extremely gay young widow. and
she does not like to take care of her
children. She is fond of shopping,
matinees, afternoon teas and every
thing, in short, which takes her away
from home, and she got into habit of
sending her children over to my house
for me to take care OF whenever she
wished to CAD about. l decided 1t

her own good and that of the children,

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett Fraser Co.-The failure of
the wheat market to hold any marked
advance yesterday was due, we think,
ITO skepticism regarding the foreign de-
mand, besides which there was con-
! siderable profit taking which to large
extent offset the new buying. Unless
| speculation advances prices too rapidly
1--we are inclined to look for a steady
demand from abroad. Should this
prove to be a fact it will stimulate
values and give us a higher market.
Finley, Barrel & Co.-While we con-
| tinue to feel friendly to wheat we ad-
/ wise waiting for set backs before re-
kplacing purchases as the short interest
Ehas been we'll eliminated and the long
interest materially increased hence,
reaction in your opinion is necessary
to place the market technically in a
healthy condition.
S. B. Chaplin & CO-Would not get
too enthusiastic on the bulges for a
time but think all dips should be
taken advantage of to buy wheat
Logan & Bryan-For the present the
fact that wheat has at least reached
an export basis with considerable an
xiety on the part of foreign buyers
| is the most important consideration for
! the trade. Good rains would materi-
ally cause q quick break without any
change in the condition. The tone Of
the market is likely to hold strong.

THE CITY COUNCIL HAS GONE
TO MINoT TO INVESTIGATE
WATER PLANT-PLAN A TRIP
TO TOLEDO SOON.

The fire and water committee of the
city council. comprising c. A. Bowers,
Hubert Harrington and Sam McDon-
aid and the city engineer, F. A. An
ders, went TO Minot last night to in
spe"t the mechanical system of water
filtration recently installed in that
city. The purpose of the trip is to de-

plant for Fargo to the city council.
At a later date another inspection
trip is planned by the committee to
Toledo, for the purpose of investigat-
ing the water filtration plant in that
city. Four other cities of the Buckeye
state are to be visited, including
Youngstown, Cleveland, Columbus and
Dayton, all of which are renowned for
their excellent city water, afforded by
their good filtration plants.
The points 10 be determined on the
present trip are whether it is danger
Gus TO allow the water to be exposed
to the air, whether steam or gass

MIRTHFUL DIVERSION INSTEAD
OF THE FUNNY SHEETS AND
MAGAZINES.

The city treasurer, Charles Mitchell,
uses the Book of Job as jest book, in
stead of buying Judge. Punch and the
other periodicals of wit and satire. He
says that there is more wit and humor
contained in the Biblical effort than
in any of the supposed mirthful maya
zines or the funny sheets of the news
papers Of the present day, In con-
versation this morning, a friend sug-
gested that the treasurer read the
current number of The Literary Digest.
and recommended that he read it con-
tinually. Another man in the city hall
who is an ardent admirer of Ebert
Hubbard advised that Mr.. Mitchell
read The Fra and The Phillistine de-
claring they contained the best wit
and humor of the age
"Shucks," said Mr. Mitchell" when
want to laugh and read something
witty and humorous, read the book OF
Job"
