A. C. HILL INDICTED
For Alleged Theft Of a Mail Sack
From the Moorhead Depot, Said
to Practically Admit Crime.

The grand jury in the United States
court at Fergus Fails, yesterday, re-
turned an indictment against Abraham
c. Hill, who is accused of stealing a
sack Of mail from the station platform
at Moorhead. After taking the sack,
he rified it of its contents and then
burned it, He was apprehended, how
ever, and admits the crime.
The jury is now at work on the In
dian land fraud cases, and these cases
will occupy the remainder Of this week,
and possibly part of next week. No
indictments will be returned until the
investigation is finished, and if the
jury considers the evidence sufficient
to justify such action, indictments
against quite a number of persons who
have been implicated in the land deals
will be returned in a bunch.
The case of Lena Klinke, adminis-
tratrix, VS.. the Canadian Northern
Telegraph Co. for damages for failure

PROGRAMME OF
U. c. 7. OUT soon
BIG PROGRAMME OF GREAT CON-
vENTIoN IS NEARLY READY TO
BE ISSUED FROM THE PRESS
PROOF SHEETS WILL BE OUT
TOMORROW.

The big programme of the great
United Commercial Travellers con-
vention to be held in this city, June
s, and 10, is nearly ready to be
published at once.
The committee on the programme is
working very earnestly TO get this
completed this week, as has been the
original intention and every effort is
being made to have the official an
nouncement made by Monday. 1t had
been expected that the proof sheets
would be out earlier in the week so
that that part Of the work of the con-
vention would have been completed by
today. Several delays, caused by q
few minor changes, have prevented the
programmes general circulation this
week.
An effort is being made by the COM
mittee in charge OF the aviation feat
ure of the convention to have the 10
cal merchants close their stores on the
afternoon of the flights of st. Henry
at the state fair grounds. This is ex-
pected to be such big day not only in
the history of the grand council of
the U. C. T., but of the city as well,
as well as the most important feat
ure of the convention, that 1t is
thought the merchants can well afford
to accede to this request, as II Is
thought they will profit by complying
in the long run.
Special rates may be given school
children of the city to see the flights
and aerial tests of the aviators at
Fargo, so that all of them may at
tend. This matter has not yet been
decided upon by the committee nor by
the business management of the Glen
Curtiss Amusement & Aviation Co., but
It is the desire Of the members Of the
u. c. T. and especially Mr.. Bathrick.
to make this concession.
Just what may be done in this di-
rection has not yet been determined
but some action will be taken by the
committee either tomorrow Of the early
part of next week.

MEASURES 1oo,oooTH OF INCH
New Apparatus Of English Invention
That VIII Determine Extremely
Minute Distances.

The extreme delicAcy of scientific
measurement is shown by an appa-
ratus of English invention for com
pairing ofhcial standards Of length.
It's action depends upon the interfer-
ence of light waves, causing shadow
bands, the width Of which is half the
wave length OF the light employed.
The red radiation from hydrogen or
cadmium is used. and Its wave length
Is, say, the -1,Oo0th Of an inch. The
machine carries two microscopes, one
of which Is attached to one OF the
glass plates rejecting the light and
producing the interference bands.
First, the recognized standard rod
say the imperial standard yards
placed under the two microscopes, and
one OF its terminal marks Is brought
under the spider lines Of each. Then
the rod to be tested is substituted,
and one of its terminals is accurately
adjusted.
II 1t varies from the length Of the
standard5 the other microscope, carry
ing the reflector, must be shifted UNI
I'll coincidence Is obtained. The num-
Der OF bands that move past during
the shifting, multiplied by the half
waye-lengths Of the light. gives the
difference in length OF the rods. Sci
