PREPARE FOR GRAFT HUNT
Joint Legislative Committee to
Organize To-day.

The Joint legislative investigating COM
mittee appointed TO look into charges OF
graft and other forms of misconduct al
Albany will meet at noon to-day at the
Murray Hill Hotel for organization. After
electing chairman selecting counsel ana
mapping out tentative plan of procedure
the committee will adjourn for a week or
two, in order that whatever charges are
forthcoming may be placed in the proper
form.
Unless there is some change at the last
minute Assemblyman Merritt. the floor
leader in the Assembly. will be chairman.
NJ Linn Bruce is slated for counsel. The
other members of the committee are Sem
ators Victor NJ. Allen, Alexander Brough
and Robert Wagner and Assemblymen F.
L. Young, William w. Coine, Frederick
R Toonlbs and James A. Foley.
Members of the committee united in say
ing yesterday that the investigation would
be thorough and would be carried on with
out fear or favor. 1t Is likely that the
leads in the connection of the fire insur-
ance companies with legislation. which was
developed by Superintendent Hotchkiss of
the State Insurance Department, will be
the first matter taken UP. The books of q
defunct brokerage firm, which, 1t is alleged.
was used as sort of clearing house for
legislative money, are understood to be
available for this investigation.
Passing on from that the committee will
probably turn to the flag ends OF the Aids
investigation and follow some leads that
were opened at the trial of the charges
against Senator Aids in the Senate.
For some time special representative
Of the Governor has been looking into the
records of the Forestry Department and
may have unearthed some interesting facts
that can be investigated by the committee.
Before the committee completes its work
it is likely that it will turn its attention
toward certain incidents that occurred in
the Attorney Generals Office during the IN
cumbency OF William s. Jackson.

who issued the original injunction against
a recount of the Dalzell- Black contest for
the Republican Congressional nomination,
filed q statement to-day to the effect that
his injunction does not restrain the Black
supporters from filing new petitions for a
recount. The original petition he ruled in
valid because it was not signed by ten
voters in each precinct.

count Representative Dalzelrs counsel

fusal to recount the votes.

Wedding Fees IN New York.

Large wedding fees are rare even in
New. York. Fees of $50 and 500 are
considered large. The $1,000 fee when
it makes its appearance usually goes
to the rector of a wealthy congrega-
ton who enjoys salary Of $4,000 or
$4,000 year. Larger fees are some
times given. The man of wealth, ac-
tuated by high regard for his pastor
and friend, occasionally gives his
check for $4,000 or $4,000 under the
guise of a wedding fee. He wishes to
help the minister and knows the money
would not be accepted under any other
circumstances. Such gifts, it is need
less to say, are extremely rare. New
York has a few clergymen whose mar
riage fees average $1,000 year. The
pastor Of large Presbyterian church
on Broadway has estimated that his
fees amount annually to 81 900. These
are topnotch figures. Christian Her

new RAILROAD COMING?
Surveyors at Work in Beltrami and Ad-
joining Counties.

From the activities of railway sur
veying crews in this section it is evil
dent that railroad construction is
contemplated by some company in
the spring.
Settlers northeast OF Thief River
Falls say that surveyors are running
lines through and beyond the terri
tory in eastern Marshall and north
western Beltrami counties.
These engineers inform the farm
ers with whom they occasionally
stay that they are ditch viewers
statement hardly borne out by the
facts, all.the great ditchiug pro-
jects in that territory have long
since been located, viewed and con-
tracts let for their construction. ::
Within the last thee years several
railroad parties have run lines from
the city northeasterly towards the
Canadian boundary, ostensibly with
a terminus at International Falls.
The region within these surveys
is the only rich territory left in the
Northwest not traversed by rail-
way line, and the company first en-
tering it is assured of an abundant
return. This is the opinion of all who
are familiar with the country and its
immense scope and the settlements
found in it.
For fifty miles northeast of Thief
River Falls the land is open prairie,
and is all practically settled. To
reach any railway, the people of this
broad section must visit Thief
River Falls. Creameries, stores,
schools, rural telephone lines and
every other feature of a we'll deve-
loped country mark this region.
The bitches which are now being
constructed through the lowest part
the counties mentioned will make
available for farming operations the
last acre of the rich soil.
The wooded portions of Beltrami
county, beyond the prairie of eastern
Marshall and Pennington counties,
is full of homesteaders, all awaiting
the entry of a railroad. -.
A handsome revenue would at
once accrue to a road traversing
these heavy woods. This section is
larger than several Southern Mime
sofa counties combined.

later will reach the very life of your
