ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

dS ClcTk W luc dOOThcSpCI at
a salary of 81, 200 year with an
extra months pay, was one of
many unique discoveries made
by Congressman A. Mitchell Pal
mer of the Ways and Means COM
mittee while investigating useless
positions on the House payroll.
Palmer's retrenchment progress
was unimously adopted by the
Democratic membership, reflect
ing the greatest of credit upon
the young Pennsylvania member
who has come to be recognized as
one Of the strong leaders of the
House. The position of "clerk to
doorkeeper" will be abolished.
Although the clerks document
room and all the offices therein
was abolished by statute in 1895,
the salaries aggregating S6,260
went right on. The Republican
machine needed the patronage,
and why be discouraged by a
little thing like statute?
Six useless but expensive house
committees will be abolished, saw
ing $4,000 year.
A saving of $4,000 a year will
be effected through dispensing
with the services Of two attend
ants to the old library space.
These positions were created when
the library was in the capitol.
The library was removed many
wears ago. Since then the two
attendants have had nothing to
attend to but blank space. |. was
an easy job.
Two night watchmen charged
to the folding loom will be drop
ped. Seventy-four policemen are
on duty at the capitol, and unless
the two stalwart Republican night
watchmen watched the police it is
difficult to understand how they
put in their time.
Here is another illustration OF
wastefulness in running the gov
ernment: Before the telephone
was invented telegraph wire
was constructed between the cap
itol and war department for quici
} communication. Since the tele'
phone has come into existence i
has been used exclusively. Blu
the jobs of the two telegrapher'
remained. AT last they are to b.
abolished saving $4,000 annually
"During the Spanish war,
says Mr.. Palmer, somebody
friend told somebody's cousiI
that somebody's aunt had hearc
someone say that plot was ol
foot to dynamite the capitol
; Thirty .eight extra policemen wer
added. They have remained eve
since"
The Palmer committee believe
the danger is now over and wi
!, have thirty-four private police
men and one lieutenant given
permanent leave Of absence, saw
. q ing $50, 900 annually.

One by one, nine colored people In
all, appeared before Judge Miller this
morning in the police court and an
swered the charge Of keeping a house
of i'll fame or resorting to the same
kind of place for immoral purposes.
Only one Of the bunch was released
and the other eight all decided to plead
guilty and were given fines.
Babe Fields was the first one or
the bunch. Upon investigation ii was
found that she could not be held on
the charge of resorting to rooms for
immoral purposes and the city at
torney recommended that she be dis
charged.
Mary Effie Moore decided that she
would get off easier by pleading guilty
to conducting a bawdy house at "
Front street, so confessed. She was
given a light fine which she paid.
Alice Stevenson lives at Moore house
and she pleaded guilty Of being an i'm
mate of house Of iii fame and was
given a light fine which was paid by
the Moore woman.
Cassie Eliza pleaded guilty to con-
Quoting a house of I'll fame and was
given a fine which she paid. 1t is
understood that she was doing thriv-
ing business and IL has been stated
that she paid $50 a month for rent
on little shack that ordinarily would
not have been worth $40 a month, Her
place is at 66 Front street.
Beatrice Smith handed the judge a
long story about her never having
done any wrong since she was in the
court the last time. IT'S too scarf to
do wrong, jedge," said she. However,
she pleaded guilty and was given fine
which she paid.
Mrs. Horton Adams was charged
with keeping a house Of Ill fame at
80 Front street and she decided TO
plead guilty, which she did and was
given a fine. However, her husband
did not at first want to give in, but
after he found his wife had confessed
he pleaded guilty. Both paid their
fines, which were light.
Alma Baker claimed that she had
used her home for immoral purposes
for some time. without the knowl-
edge of her husband. She pleaded
guilty, as did her husband, w H.
Baker, after the husband had found
the wife had confessed her guilt. Both
were fined and they paid.
The nine colored people were round
ed UP In a raid last night which was
conducted by Chief Bowers, assisted
bv a staff OF the officers. II is g.

THE CLOSING RECITAL
Wilhelr1i MonteIius, VioIinist, Assisted
BY Miss AnisdelI, Reader,
Pleased Audience.

For the final artists recital Of the
season the Fargo Conservatory Of
Music presented Wilhelm Montelius,
violinist who was assisted BY Nettie
T. AnsdelI. reader, at the Stone audi
forum last night. There was a fair
audience and the artist was well re-
ceived. Following the rendition Of
Mendelssohn's concerto in Il minor.
the applause was very liberal and Mr..
Montelius responded with the playing
or dainty arrangement which again
pleased his auditors ana twice he had
to bow his acknowledg dement's. The
player was somewhat handicapped BY
the wobbly condition of the platform
which squeaked most artistically dur
ing the whole Of the recital. That the
artist was just little nervous was
plainly exempiiied by the rapidity OF
his playing. He. however, gave great
pleasure and interpreted numbers BY
Ries. Pierne, dAmbrosio and Pepper,
exceIlentIy. The reading By Miss
Amsdell was greatly enjoyed and 1t
was pleasing variation to the classi-
cal programme played BY the vioIinist
