acting under the provisions of Sec

on your recommendation, as State
feedstuf chemist, and in accordance
with the option given me requested
you to permit the location of the labo-

request you promptly and heartily ac-
quiesced, and the feedstuf chemist has
been accorded every aid and courtesy
both by yourself. and the college au-

most sincerely appreciated, and both
the chemist and myself are deply SEN

president and those in charge of the
college laboratories.
Under the circumstances I most
deeply regret TO find it absolutely nee
essary to withdraw this vcrk from the
station, but the eXigencies of the
States business in the matter Of the
proper enforcement of the commercial
feedstuff law are such that this is un
avoidable. The work has developed to
sucL an extent that it is an absolute
necessity to have the State chemist
and the laboratory in close daily touch
with the inspection work and the COM
missioner. I have thoroughly explain
ed the situation to members of the
board and to the president of the COL

Columbia, September 22.-Commis-
sioner Watson officially denied this
afternoon that there was any. friction
between Clemson college and his de-
partment with reference to the remov-
al of the feedstuffs laboratory from
Clemson to this city. An announce
ment was made this morning at the
office of the commissioner of agricul-
ture, commerce and industries that the
feedstuffs laboratory would be moved
to Columbia.
Following recent efforts to secure
quarters in this city for the chemical
work of the feedstuffs department,
there arose rumors to the effect that
Clemson college and the department of
agriculture had had some misunder-
standing with reference to the work
that was being done at the Agricultur-
al college. These rumors we're set at
rest when the correspondence bear
ing On the matter was given out to-
day.
The chemical laboratory will be To-
Gated on the upper floor Of the old

There were loud cries for Greenleaf
and the mob became 20 boisterous,
that LeSueur arose from his seat
and tried to maintain order. Vandeno-
ever, the police commissioner, warned
the crowd that order should be main
tanned. And still the crowd refused
to 60.
The President assured the crowd
that q short hand reporter would be
secured. that all might become &C.
quainted with the proceedings In case
they so desired, but this did not
satisfy them.
Greenleaf then asked why the men
under investigation should not be
allowed an attorney, stating that they
were compelled to give sworn state
ments. He said he knew Of no case
on record, where sworn testimony was
taken, where those compelled to
testify were not permitted to have
counsel. Greenleaf was loudly cheer
ed when he said this.
'McGahan then moved that tho news

this was voted down.
The citizens were very much dis
appointed at not being allowed to re-.
main and after the meeting there
were groups all around the streets,
talking of the affair. It was quite
generally the opinion Of those there
that as long as Friday nights pro.
ceedings were allowed to be public,
the commission should have allowed
the public to remain to hear the re-
mainder Of the proceedings. The Pre-.
sident contended that inasmuch as no
charges had been filed, If the commits
sion desired to Investigate the con.
duct of the officers, it did not concern
the public. He stated that II an in

Of hurrying along the sewer extension

There was an extremely stormy
session at Monday nights meeting
of the city commission, when crowd
OF three or four hundred Of the in
terested citizens Of Minot gathered
to hear a continuance Of the proceed
ings OF Investigation of the members
Of the police force and certain men,
bers Of the fire department.
Immediately after President LeSueNr
had called the meeting to order, City
Attorney Bosard, suggested that ina
much as no charges had been flled
against anyone, and merely an investi-
cation was being held, it might be
we'll for the commission to go into
executive session, and exclude the
general public. Commissioner Nc
Gahau Immediately declared that he
was heartily against such a PROPOSE
ton, declaring that according to the
commission law, no session dared to
be secret. Commissioner Vandenoever
declared himself as desiring to allow
the public to remain. g "A .
While other business was being
conducted by the body, the City
Attorney looked the matter up and
reported that from what he could
learn Of the law, only legislative ses-
sions had to be held in public. and he
held that an investigation might be
held behind closed doors.
To bring the matter to vote, Nc
Gahan moved that the commission
proceed with the investigation which
was seconded by Vandenoever and
upon roll call, both McGahan and
vandenoever voted aye, and Emerson.
Mus and LeSueur. No. Commissioner
Mus then moved that the commission
70 into executive session, which was
carried, Mus, LeSueur and Emerson
voting in favor of the motion and Nc
Gallan and Vandenoever against it. 4
The President then declared that
the room should be vacated, but the
crowd would not bulge an inch.
Atty Dank Greenleaf, who had been
engaged as counsel for Bakeman anA
Dougherty, two of the officers under
Investigation, asked If he would be
given the privilege Of remaining In
the interest Of his clients. Lesueur

however. insisted upon the commits
sion taking a vote upon the question
and motion to allow him to remain
was defeated, the commissioners be
ing divided upon this question the
same as on the previous ones.

Ion OF the President Of the Commits
sion. stating that he constituted him
