AGAIN DELAYS FILTRATION
Unsuccessful Bidder Brings an %Iniunc-
ton Suit Against Fargo
City Council.

w. j. Price, one of the unsuccessful
bidders for the filtration plant in Far
go, started injunction proceedings
against the city council and James
Kennedy, the successful contractor.
Mr.. Price, who is a member of the
legislature from Fargo, alleges that
the advertisement for the bids was not
properly worded; that the contract
was illegally let as the council made
some changes with Kennedy, who was
the lowest original bidder, and that
the council exceeded it's authority in
letting the contract for a sum that ex-
ceeded the bond issue and visible cash
on hand to pay for the work.
The filtration plant has been long
delayed through different sources and
Fargoans were congratulating them
selves that a fine water supply was in
sight. The injunction case may hang
up construction work for a year.

Great Northern Issues Six Hun
dred Million Bonds,
may ABSORB THE BURLINGTON
Financiers Believe j. J.. Hill Intends
to Garry Out His Long Cher
ished Ambition.

st. Paul, June 1.-Official announce
ment was made from the general of
fees of the Great Northern railroad
of the issuance of $500, OOO,0 900 in
bonds, covering one of the biggest fl.
nancial deals that has ever been made
in the West. The biggest proportion
of the issue will take care of old
bonds which have been issued by the
company from year to year, to cover
extensions and improvements, but the
other big slice makes provision fol
the taking over of the Burlington rail
road.
1t is claimed by railroad officials
that the consolidation of the Great
Northern and the Burlington, and the
separation Of the ties between the
Northern Pacific and the other Hill
lines, will not take place Immediately,
but it is admitted that the Great
Northern, by the issuance of the bonds,
is providing the means whereby James
}. Hill at the proper time will be able
to take over the Burlington system.
The fact that Mr.. Hill has been
planning on acquiring absolute control
OF the Burlington, releasing the North
ern Pacific of it's responsibility and
control Of that line, has been a matter
Of common gossip for some time. 1t
has been reported that he was Simply
waiting until the time would be pro-
pitious for the consummation of such
a deal. That time is now quickly ap-
preaching. 1t may be two or three
years before it can be carried through
successfully, but that it is under way
is regarded as certain by those who
have been watching the trend Of
events.
The fate Of the Northern Pacific, if
it is divorced from the other Hill lines,
is uncertain. 1t may be taken over
by the Northwestern, or it may alb
sorb the Great Western, a Morgan
road, as is the Northern Pacific.

Bryan Gri|Is Supreme Court at
ST. Paul Banquet

St. Paul, June 2.-Democrats of Min
nesota and adjoining states met at the
st. Paul Auditorium, celebrated the
victories of the past year and con-
graduated each other on the victories
they expect to win next year.. Speak
ers of note from many states praised
the Democrats in congress, felicitated
the party on the number of good men
it has to choose from for the presi-
dency, declared that whoever they
nominate is bound to win and con
graduated the people on their

One of the unexpected shots at the
banquet was Bryan's charge that the

that body's willingness to usurp the
powers of legislation and to protect

WOOL SCHEDULE
Bill Provides for Over Fifty Per
Cent Reduction

Washington, June 2.-The proposed
Democratic revision of the wool tariff

ly approved by a full Democratic eau
Gus. Its endorsement followed some
rapid maneuvering by the Democratic
house leaders, who devised a scheme
which effectually disposed Of the OPP
position of the free wool advocates.
The bill provides for more than a SO
per cent reduction in present duties.
Through a resolution which leaves
the Democratic party open in the fu-
ture to renew it's advocacy of free
trade in raw wool, but which commits
all Democrats to the support of the
present bill as a revenue measure, the
divergent interests were finally
brought together in the caucus.
The final vote on the approval of
the Underwood bill was made unani-

from a pledge to support the caucus

Denial of charges that were made
in the recent Cowan impeachment case
against State Senator Judson La
Moure, to the effect that he had stated
previous to the trial that there was
no possible chance of impeaching
Judge Cowan, and that he himself
would not vote against the jurist, is
contained in a statement published at
Grand Forks. This denial has par
ticular reference to a statement made
by Attorney Divit of Wahpeton when
he was on the stand. Instead of max
ing the statement attributed to him
Senator La Moure declares he said
that of his own personal knowledge he
knew that the charge of habitual
drunkenness was not founded on fact;
that he did not believe delayed cases
constituted an impeachment offense,
but that he would vote to impeach
Cowan if it was shown that he had
used his office for corrupt purposes.

E H. Gary Tells Of Work Of
Steel Corporation
SURPRISES THE COMMITTEE
Declares Governm~ 1T Control and Pub
Iicity of Corporation Affairs
Is Inevitable.

Washington, June 3.-Elbert H.
Steel corporation directorate, told the
Stanley steel trust investigating COM
mittee that his corporation stood be-
hind j.. Pierpont Morgan in averting
a disastrous financial panic in 1907.
He insisted, challenging the state
ments of John w. Gates before the
committee, that the purchase by the
steel corporation of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company at hat time
was made at a price more than it was
worth for the express purpose of pre-
venting the crash of the New York
banking firm of Moore & Schley.
Mr.. Gary related a dramatic story
coded the absorption of the Tennes-
see concern. He described in detail
how he and Henry G. Frick, at the in
stance of Mr.. Morgan, had revealed
the plan of buying the company at a
price greater than its value to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Mr.. Root, then
secretary of state. He told how he
had concluded, after this interview
with Mr.. Roosevelt, that any govern
ment prosecution of their act would
have been an outrage"
Many Surprising Statements.

animation, but none more startling
than his declaration that government
control and publicity Of corporations
in this country must come. He said
that through the American Iron and
Steel institute the heads of the steel
industry were trying to steer a course
between the Sherman antitrust law,
which he characterized as %"archaic,'
on the n hand, and the old time
methods OF destructive competition on
the other, in order to operate for the
public welfare.
Mr.. Gary announced to the commit
tee that he wanted everything known
concerning the steel corporation and
more than all he pleaded for some re
sponsible government source to which
such a necessary great corporation
could appeal for guidance in the con
duct of its business. He agreed to fur
nish the committee so much that it
wishes to know that he will be re-
called when it meets again next
Wednesday.
: Others who have been summoned to
appear are w. B.. Dickson of the Unit

CONSERVATIVES ARE VlCTORS
IceIandic Lutheran Church Suit De-
cided Against Liberals.

Conservatives in the I%celandic Lu-
theran church now hold the victory in
their contest against the so called lib
eral element of the denomination.
Judge G. F. Templeton of the Grand
Forks district court has handed down
a decision on a %rehearing of the case
in which he favors the conservatives.
The fact that a provision of the
constitution of the church was
brought into the evidence, such pro-
vision being to the effect that if a
portion Of the members Of the con-
gregation depart from the faith that
the property shall revert to those
abiding by the faith, is responsible
for this new turn. Judge Templeton
has decided that the liberals are here
tics, but that question also has been
r%eopened and arguments on it will be
made Oct. g
