WOMAN FORG|vES
MAN WITH SMILES
AFTER FIST FIGHT
Principals in Broad St. Office
Row Patch Up Differences
in Court.

After practically an all-morning con-
ference at Justice of the Peace Henry
Bosset's office the dispute between Miss
May Palmer and Otto A. Melcopy,
treasurer of the Trinity Construction
Company, which eliminated in a bat
tle-royal in the company's office in the
Globe building, was almost settled to-
day. Terms of final agreement have
not as yet been reached, but Melcopy
has decided to turn over some of the
furniture which he bought and which
is claimed by Miss Palmer, who says
Melcopy stored it in his own name.
Miss Palmer and her friend Miss
Lene Bode, were the first on the scene,
and when they found a reporter for the
EVENING STAR there Miss Palmer
expressed herself forcibly and eloquent
ly on "the indignities which that man
has compelled me to suffer" She said
she would never make up" with him,
but after she had waited an hour she
started slightly as the door opened and
he entered.
Good morning." piped Miss Palmer,
sweetly and with q smile. He acknowl-
edged her salutation and asked to be
excused as he tied his shoe. That i'm
portant> duty performed, he smilingly
remarked to the woman who says he
beat her up: Its too bad the trouble
we do get into"
Miss Palmer then wanted that fur
niture," and also payment for some of
her clothing in suitcase which she
supposed had been spoiled through be-
ing carelessly packed in suitcase at
the Broad Hotel.
Now, Melcopy did not want to part
with the furniture, and repeatedly said
that it was his, because he paid for it.
He said that he knew nothing of a gold
locket which she inquired about. He
then suddenly decided that he had bet
ter get her umbrella and suitcase at
the Broad Hotel, and went in company
with a reporter for the EVENING
STAR. On the way he confided in the
newspaper man and told some interest
ing tales about Miss Palmer. 1.-THE
cause of all this trouble" said he. lis
my trying to break away from her."
His excitement Gained as he smiled
into Miss Palmer's eyes, and he grace
fully gave in to some of her claims and
said that she could have some of the
furniture which he called his and she
called hers. The dove of peace seemed
to be steadying his wings to settle on
the scene, harmony was peeping into
the Justices grim court court and
amicable relations seemed all ready to
be established, and then Melcopy asked
that he see her alone, in private, to
confer.

reporter and they replied, Not COM

8 MORE CONFESS
IN BIG P|TTSBURG
GRAFT CRUSADE
Immunity Bath Closes After
Twenty=nine Officeholders
Plead Guilty.

PITTSBURG, March 23.-Nine more
councilmanic grafters confessed their
guilt to Judge Robert S. Frazer today
No more confessions will be received
Those caught in the public prosecutors S
dragnet from now on, it is said, will
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of
the law. At noon today twenty-nine
former and present members of the
municipal legislative machine of the
city of Greater Pittsburg had received
immunity at the hands of a judge and
prosecuting attorneys.
With the full confession of two of the
ringleaders of the graft councils of 1908
and the confession of William Brand,
former president of Common Councils
expected hourly, material is in the
hands of the district attorney to indict
many more persons for grating. These
indictments, it is reported, will bring
into the graft crusade bankers, real
estate men and manufacturers in this
vicinity.
Joseph C. Wasson, now convict, and
formerly a select councilman; Captain
John Klein, formerly councilman, and
now under penitentiary sentence, and
William Brand, also convicted CRATER,
are the men upon whom the district at
torney is relying for his final probe
into municipal rottenness.
Wasson and Klein both appeared be-
fore the grand jury today, and it is
reported completed an amazing tale of
small and large graft which made their
auditors gasp
Further indictments are expected to
issue late today from the grand jury
which is still in session.
When the grand jury resumed its ses-
sion today Joseph c. Wasson, convict
and former councilman, was the first
witness before the body. That Wasson
is corroborating in minutest particu-
lars the story of Klein is the declara-
tion of the district attorney. WAS
sons statement will be of material help
to the commonwealth" added the pub
lie prosecutor.
Wasson's statement is said to name
bankers and others connected with the
passage of bank and street vacation
ordinances and to also cover what he
knew of other shady transactions I'm
councils, now being investigated by the
district attorney.
During Wasson's detention in the
rooms yof the district attorney today,
modification over his predicament was
plainly discernible in the countenance
of the former political chieftain. That
he felt his trying position keenly was
evidenced in his every word and ges-
ture.

HOUSE COMMITTEE AND SPECIAL
COMMITTEE WILL WORK TO.
GETHER TO MAKE A sELEc-
TIoN-cAN SECURE LARGER
SPACE AT OLD QUARTERS.

At a meeting Of the commercial
club last night in the Elks lodge hall,
the house committee Of the club with
the president and five additional
members were named as a special
committee to select some suitable
quarters for the club and report at
the next meeting of the clubs ratih-
cation of the selection.
About 100 members were present at
the meeting and in the absence of the
president, j. P. Hardy, Hubert Har-
rington presided. r. S. Lewis report
ed for the house committee that the
old quarters could be secured and that
they would be increased 25x20 feet
with a facing on N. p. avenue as well
as Broadway.
With the increase in size of the
quarters Mr. Lewis suggested sub
letting rooms on that floor-should
they take the old quarters-to the
Builders & Traders exchange, the
real estate mems organization and
similar associations whose interests
in general, were in harmony with the
commercial club. The suggestion was
well received and several members
of the Builders & Traders exchange
who were present discussed the mat
ter.
letter was received from the A.
o. u. W., offering two rooms each 20x
10 on the second floor of the new
building with the privilege of using
the third floor for large gatherings.
From this the discussion led to
whether or not the club would be a
sociaA as well as a business organiza-
ton or strictly business organization.
On a motion of Mr.. Grady with an
amendment by Mr.. Sweet II was de-
cided to appoint the committee to act
with the house committee and presi-
dent. The members Of the house
committee are r. S. Lewis, F. l..
Watkins and S. G. Wright. The men
to act with the house committee in
making the selection are w. w. Smith,
w. ]. Price, J. A. Chesley. w. J..
Sweet, c. H. Anheier. These men will
get together in a few days at which
time they wiz probably make a selec-
ton of a new home for the club.

UNSATISFACTORY
IRRIGATION WORK
SETTLERS AROUND FORT Der.
THoLD HAVE GOTTEN A RAW
DEAL FROM THE REcLAMMA-
TON BUREAU ACCORDING TO
"oLD BILL" MUM5Y's TRIBUNE.

Commenting on an item in The F..
rum that he wanted President Taft to
know the real facts about the irriga-
ton work at Buford. "Old Bill" Num-
by of The Buford Tribune says:
Yep! We'd like to have him as well
as congress know that The Bufurd-
Trenton project Is but 3S per cent com
pleted, and no one knows-not even
the engineers or the secretary of the
interior-whether or when the project
will be completed, and when those who
Joined the water users association
and signed up their lands, thereby put
ting cloud upon the title thereto, and
who are not now and never will come
under the present ditch, are to be re-
lieved from this wrong being done
them by the government Thought the
secretary of the interior and the recla-
nation service. This project was sup
posed to cover from 1900 to $4,000
acres, as surveyed by Engineer Chur-
chill, and until 80 per cent of this
acreage was signed up no ditch would
be built. Churchill was fired as pro-
Ject engineer and an engineer who
didn't care damn whether 80 or 8
per cent of the land were signed up,
1t was good chance for this engi-
neer to exploit irrigation by pumping
at the expense OF the people, or gov
eminent. The line or route for the
main canal was changed, thereby cut
EtnC out several thousand acres of
saRzA that had been signed to take wa
ter, and now holding the owners of
this land in bondage worse than sla-
very, by the pretext that "the main up-
per canal will constructed sometime"
in the far distant future-if the pep
pie did ask for it, when they signed
up; but the engineer in charge told
these people 'it was an impossible en-
cheering feat" This excuse was but
subterfuge to cover up for the time
being the gigantic fraud and deception
practiced upon the government and
cur people. Yea, verify, Oh Lord, do
some of our people mourn for are they
not held in bondage by this govern
ment, even though they are not and
will ne'er receive any benefits from
it.

FIRE AT FARGO DRUG co.
Slight Damage Done to Well Known
Front Street Drug stors-Labora-
tory Badly Smoked.

The fire department was called to
the Fargo Drug Co. at 606 Front street,
this morning shortly after 9 o'clock,
to extinguish blaze in the laboratory
of the drug store. The blaze was only
a small one and was practically out
by the time the fire fighters arrived.
AS the laboratory is situated in the
rear of the building, no damage was
caused to the main portion of the store
and only that portion where the fire
started was damaged by smoke. The
fire started by a mistake in the use of
chemicals at the water sink in the
laboratory, but was easily under con-
troll within a few minutes.
The Fargo Drug Co. was formerly
owned by Sam Mcdonald, who sold
out about year ago TO B. L. Benson,
the present proprietor.
