New York, Feb. 7.-Twenty-six
manufacturing firms of the Paper
Board Association, indicted by the
federal grand jury in December last
as members of an illegal combina-
ton in restraint of trade, took the
easiest legal course today and enter
ed a plea of guilty as an association
in the United States circuit court.
Fines of $4,000 each-$52,O 900 in all
were imposed and in all except one
case were paid in cash.
Thus ends the second organization
of paper men formed by John H.
Parks. The fibre and manila COM
bine met similar fate in the federal
courts some time ago. BY pleading
guilty as corporations today, indi-
viduals also indicted in the paper
board association succeeded in hav-
ing their indictments quashed. The
association had its headquarters in
this city and had been in existence
for more than four years.

New York, Feb. 7.-Wedged in a
narrow trench beneath the concrete
and boards of a basement floor was
found today the body Of an uniden-
titled woman who had first been
hacked in the head with some
sharp instrument like an ice pick
and then strangled to death. The po-
lice believe she was the wife OF a
Scandinavian janitor who vacated his
quarters in an uptown apartment
house last Friday. He was known
variously as Peterson and Tamsen OF
Thompson.
An evil odor first indicated that
something was wrong and when it
grew worse the police broke into the
locked room that had been the jani-
tors parlor. When they ripped open
loose plank woman's bare knee
came into view. The murderer,
hampered in his work by steam pipes
had jammed the body forcibly into
the trench over hot pipe and then
held it in place by mailing down the
planks.
An expressman who had moved
Peterson to an address farther up
town where he was known as Tamsen
was found.
The police traced him but in his
stead was found only girl of nine.

GOVERNMENT Wins
over RAILROADS
(Bv Associated Prees.>

San Francisco, Feb. THAT the
clear intent of the federal land laws
cannot be set aside by decree OF
the land commissioner was the de-
cision of the United States circuit
court of appeals today in overrullng
the appeal of the Northern Pacific
railroad against the revocation OF
certain land grants to that corpora
ton in Montana.
When certain claims belonging to
the railroad were included in the
Mount Rainier forest reserve other
non-mineral bearing claims to be Sc
lected by the railroad were promised
by the government in their place.
The railroad selected claims patent
ed by the land commissioner as non
mineral, but known to the company
to be mineral-bearing.
Suit was brought to compel the
railroads to relinquish these CLAW S
and the government was given judg-
ment. This judgment was affirmed
today.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 7.-True bills

charging conspiracy, bribery and per-
iurv against President E. III. Jennings
and former vice president F. A. Grif-
fin of the Columbia National bank:
former select councilman Chas Stew

The indictments were founded upon
a confession alleged to have been

alleged payment of bribes to council

President Of tho Institution Is Left

Third Failure In Lakota New
Bank to Be Started.

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 1.-Relia-
BILE information secured from Lakota
is to the effect that the shortage in
the Peoples State bank, the cashier
and president of which have been
bound over to the district court on
a forgery charge, is between 10000
and $91 ,0OO and that the creditors
of the institution will get about 25
cents on the dollar. 1t is expected
that action will be taken looking to-
ward the appointment of a receiver
The cause of the banks failure is
said to be due to high living and
reckless expenditure of the banks
funds by S. A. Floren, the cashier,
during the illness OF F. A. Raiders,
the president, who has been unable to
attend to his duties during the past
four months.
1t is claimed that considerable Of
the money went into the Dakota Au-
tomobile company under the firm
name of Beck & Floren. DR.. Beck,
however, has purchased Floren's in
terests in this company and it's af.
fairs will be taken care of.
The news Of the cause of the bank
failure caused considerable of SEN
sation owing to the fact that both
men are we'll known. 1t was learned
yesterday that Mr. Raiders and his
family have moved from their fine res
idence to a smaller house and that
he will 'be left penniless by the fail
ure.
With the failure Of the Peoples
State bank, the third failure of the
kind Lakota has had, comes the in
formation that David H. Beecher of
this city and George E. Towle, now OF
Minneapolis, but formerly of Park
River, will establish new bank at

On Roll Call His Protests Are Voted
Down BY Unanimous Vote - Spoke
for an Hour Against Honoring Men
Who Fought In the Southern Army
During Rebellion.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Protesting
against loaning government tents for
the use of the confederate veterans
at their annual reunion at Mobile,
Ala, next April, Senator Hepburn Of
Idaho, in the senate late today made
the sharpest comment upon the is
sues of the civil war that has been
heard in congress in twenty years.
He inveighed against men in
"Rebel' uniforms being permitted
to occupy government property, or
the "Rebel" flag being allowed to
float over it. Finally he drifted into
the question of honoring men by
placing their statues in the congress
sional hall of fame and by unmis-
taxable inference condemned the ac-
ton of Virginia in sending the statue
of General Robert E. Lee to Wash
ington.
"Take it away and worship it if
you please" he thundered, But do
not intrude it upon the people who
do not want it,"
Democratic senators moved uneas-
lily about the floor conversing with
each other or sat frowning and an
gered, listening to the speech which
continued for nearly an hour. Fin
ally. when Senator Hepburn had con-
cluded, Senator Bankhead said:
81 am sure the senator from Idaho
feels much better and | ask for a
vote"
"By roll CALL" shouted a dozen or
more senators, and hands went up in
ne
part of the senate chamber. When
the vote was had on the entire loan
ing measure all of the democrats
and all of the republicans, except
Mr.. Hepburn, voted for it. His neg
ative vote was uttered in loud and
defiant tone.

SPECTACULAR SUICIDE
At NIAGARA FALLS


Niagara Falls. \. Y, Feb. IA
young woman, thought to be Miss Bea
trice R. Snyder Of Buffalo. commit
ted suicide today by wading into the
river just above Prospect Point and
going over the falls.
AS the body swept over the brink OF
the cataract, she turned her face TO-
ward the would-be rescuers and smil-
ed a farewell to them.
A park policeman paid scant at
tention to the woman when she first
appeared on the path leading to the
river bank. Then, as she began to
run toward the river, it was too late
to intercept her.
Without a moments hesitation she
waded into the stream. She turned
once and smiled toward the men who
were calling to her to stop. and 'conz
tinued to move rapidly into deep
water. In an instant she was whisk-
ed from her feet and carried rapidly
toward the brink of the falls.
On the bank was found a handbag
and in it a note asging the forgive
ness of her parents.
There was card in the purse
bearing the name eBatrice r. Snyder.
With the lower river jammed with ice
there is little hope that the body will
ever be recovered.
