Mother.

Katie Putnam, an time Fargo
fayorite, appeared in Fargo last night
in the leading role in Mother. She Is
as versatile and able as ever, despite
her retirement from the stage for
numer Of years. Miss Putnam is hap
PLY cast in her present character and
infuses the proper maternal spirit into
her part. She was satisfactorily sun
ported.
The play is peculiar one. inyolv-
ing two elder and wayward sons. a.
sacrificing daughter and another who
is the pet Of the family. There are
twin boys who furnish some comedy
A pair of actresses one OF whom Is
married by the oldest boy, and her sis.
ter. are the storm center of things
and the primary cause Of much of the
trouble.
The audience was smaller than the
play should have drawn but It was an
appreciative one and frequently DEM
onstrated it's approval by enthusiastic
applause.

CLUB CAMPAIG
COMMITTEE MEET
SESSION HAS BEEN CALLED FOR
TOMORROW EVENING OF THE
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE OF THE
COMM RcIAL cLUB-WILL COM,
PARE NOTES.

Chairman Beckwith of the member
ship campaign committee of the COM
mercial club and President Hardy have
called a special meeting for the mem
bers Of the committee to be held to-
morrow evening at the commercial
club.
At this session the individual work
ers of the committee will report just
what was done by them to the chair
man. Notes on the canvass for mem
bers will be compared and the cards
on those who have not come into the
club on special invitation will be dis
cussed.
1t is probable that the committee
will adopt a follow-up system and
keep on going after the men whose
membership applications could not be
secured when the club called. Efforts
will be made to get these men as soon
as possible into the ranks of the club
and swell the membership to over
500.
Not all of the committees have re-
ported that their fields have been thor,
oughly canvassed, even though the
campaign for members did end yes
terday at noon. The fields that have
remained uncovered will be attacked
in another way, and this question will
be considered by the committee to-
morrow night.
The booster spirit is so evident in
the ranks of the club now, that the
enthusiasm will continue to reign high
with the members for some time. The
big membership campaign was
launched with such great success that
the officers Of the organization feel
that Fargo will gain untold good from
the work done by the committee.

The great foreign capitals are
ahead of us in their solution of
paving problems, because they
have long ago come to the ex-
trernely difficult traffic problems
which we in this country are only
beginning to face. The foreign
capitals have comparatively few
street cars which in this country
relieve the pavement of a great
burden of carriage and omnibus
traffic. The Rue de Rivoli in
Paris, for example, carries $4,000
vehicles daily. (The heaviest con-
centration of American traffic is
probably that of the Rush Street
Bridge in Chicago with 1900
vehicles daily 1t is significant,
therefore, that the foreign capitals
have adopted wood block pave
ment for heavy traffic streets to
the exclusion of all other types.
The wood block pavement
means much to the comfort of
the citizens for it silences the up
roar of traffic to a deep toned and
not unpleasant murmur. Eff1c-
lent cleaning keeps the streets
from ever becoming slippery. The
durability of these pavements has
been repeatedly shown in foreign
tests to be vastly superior to any

other type, and the primary mo-
tive for the selection of this pave
ment has in all cases been that of
ultimate economy.
In the United States the in-
crease of traffic congestion has
brought American engineers to
the same conclusion and the heavy
traffic streets of New York are
now paved with Wood Block. In
the Office building district below
the City Hall, wood block pave
ment is now almost universal.
In Chicago, a large part of the
Loop District where the office
buildings are, is now paved with
wood block, and very large ex-
tensions of this type of pavement
are anticipated.
A typical observation is that
of Borough President Steers of
the Borough of Brooklyn, New
York, who states-"Of all pave
ments, / think wood block is the
best, because of its comparative
noiselessness and its durability.
Paris is probably the best paved
city in the world and all its prin-
cipal business thoroughfares and
residential streets are paved with
wood block.

COMMITTEE BACKS UP.
Decides Not to Investigate Steel Trust
Campaign Contributions.

Washington, Aug. 9.@The steel trust
investigating committee at an execu-
tive session today decided not to press
at this time the questions of campaign
contributions in connection with Geo.
w. Perkins of New York, a director
of the u. S. Steel corporation who was
yesterday threatened with contempt
proceedings before the house a, f rep

require the steel corporation to pro-
duce the books of subsidiary co1npan-
les.
When the executive session of the
committee adjourned Chairman Stanley
said: Nothing 20 say until ? p. M"
'sThe chair changed its rulings on

sentative Young, Republican.

demanding the books of the subsidiary
companies also directed legal steps in
the event of their nonproduction. The
committees decision not to press the
inquiry into campaign contributions
was based upon the conclusion that
the house resolution did Eut give auth
oritv to go into those matters. 1t was
said tha. Representative Littleton. of
New York, insisted that the committee
would thus transcend its power

AID FOR Mr.. BROWN.
r. F. d. Carriers IH-ated to stand and
Be Bled.

Washington. Aug. 9.-Something live
lv in the get rich quick line IS ex-
hibited in the little scheme which IS
now agitating good many members OF
congress who are interested IN the rural
free delivery system.
The bright idea is a suggestion 10
every rural carrier in the United states
that he present w. D. Brown, editor OF
the Rural Free Delivery News, with
one dollar in consideration of Brown
alleged heroic services in Inducing con-
gress to raise the pay OF the rural car
riers.
AS there are about A. 600 of these car
riers in the country, it is obvious that
if they should respond, or even II the
majority of them should respond, TO
the touching appeal in behalf OF Brown,
the latter would be uplifted financially
in a way to warm the cookies Of his
heart 1t would be easy money" gen
uine "honest graft"
The circular through which the rural
carriers are being solicited was sent
out from Chicago July a by h H.
Windsor who founded the Rural Free
Delivery News and later sold it to the
present editor, Brown. The interest
which Windsor has in the matter of
the little gift of dollar from every
rural carrier to Brown is certainly SIS
nificant IN this connection. Brown may
or may not owe Windsor balance on
the purchase price.
Having heard of the circulation of
this appeal and desiring to protect
the service from such methods as we'll
as to prevent the infraction of its own
rules. the fourth assistant postmaster
general July 20 sent out many thou
sands of copies of a letter apprising
postmasters of what was going on and
suggesting that they warn carriers
The Windsor circular. however, had
five days start of the department
warming. and there is no telling how
many of these dollars have been gath
cred up in the interim. 1t is not un-
likely that congress may have its at
tention called to the actitives of Wind
sor and Brown and that definite legis-
lat1ve steps may be taken to make this
sort of fortune hunting dangerous.

Victim of Shocking Crime.
THREAT OF LYNCHING.

Caught at Medicine Lodge.

Man He Killed.

Pratt. Kan. Aug. 9.-Marion F1em-
ms, farmer living near CuIliscn,
this county was murdered near his
home yesterday by j. McBright OF
Medicine Lodge, who was a close
friend of Fleming. and has been SO
for years.
McBright lured Fleming from his
home Monday after a visit at the
house and after reaching a point about
a mile from the house he killed FIem-
ing by beating him over the head with
an axe. He then returned to the
farm house and told FIemings wife
that her husband had sent him back
after team and wagon, which he Sc
cured and returned to the scene os
the crime and took the body of his
victim to a straw stack and buried it.
Officers located him near Medicine
Lodge late Tuesday and the sheriff
went and got him immediately.
FLEMING was a married man and had
four children. He was quite well
to do. The excitement is intense in
that community and lynching is fear
ed if McBright is brought back here.
