STREET CARS ARE
ALL TIED UP
LIGHTNING HIT STREET CAR
WIRES AND FOR SEVERAL
HOURS THIS AFTERNOON NOT
A CAR WAS MOVED ON THE EN-
TIRE SYSTEM.

The noontide electrical storm today
did some damage to the Fargo and
Moorhead street car system, and tied
up the service almost the entire aft
ernoon. The wires were evidently
struck at some point not exactly known
to the local electricians UP to o'clock,
for they became paralyzed about
O'Clock, and the service completely
shattered.
The street cars, both In Moorhead
and Fargo were suddenly stopped in
their course just a little after noon,
during the electrical storm and the
trollies were thrown from the wires.
Squads OF men were sent out In var
ious directions, but at Q o'clock none
Of them had reported where the lines
had been struck. AT the main offices
Of the company II was not known how
soon the service could be reinstated,
SO that the twin cities Of the Red river
were without street cars for half the
day.
Cars were strewn all along Broad
way and In various parts Of the south
side, wherever they happened to be al
the time the lightning struck. So FAR
no accidents nor serious injuries have
been reported from any OF the lines OF
the service.

A. D. Smith of New York, a marine,
received injuries from which he died
today in hospital and Anton Aowal-
ski of Fargo. N. D.. marine. who

oner and will be tried by court mar
tial.

Aowalski to come out behind the bar
racks and fight it out Aowalski readi-
ly accepted. For ten minutes the two
fought and then AoWalski swung his

blow was so hard that 1t fractured the

formed clot.
Smith was removed to the naval
hospital where he died.

LAWYERS STRIKE
LATEST FEATURE

Viterbo, Italy. July 22.--Lawyers fol
the defense have struck, and as conse-
quence Camorrists trial was adjourn
ed today until next Wednesday to af-
ford them time in which to decide
upon their future attitude. Unless
some agreement with the court and
prosecution is reached before the SEES
sions are resumed it is probable that
the trial will be definitely stopped and
later begun all over again.
Today's strike was the result Of yes
terday's trouble, when Captain Fabro-
nj denounced Lawyer Lieoy as subor-
oner of perjury.
When the court opened today only
four Of the attorneys were present and
they came to lay the case of defense
before the court. They asked the
court to postpone the trial to We'd
nesday, saying that they wished, in
the meantime, to consult with their
colleagues in Naples and Rome regard
ing what action they should take
They said that they would insist upon
protection from what they called the
provocation Of carbineers and intimat-
ed that in exchange for this protection
they would bring about the withdrawal
of Lieoy from the defense.
The. prisoners objected to delay and
protested that between the uncompro-
missing attitude of the lawyers on one
hand and the red tape on the court
procedure on the other, they had al
ready suffered i've years imprison-
ment.

Story of Long Fight.
The passage of the Canadian reci-
procity bill by the senate today in
precisely the form it merged from
the house brought to an end President
Taft's long fight for the measure, but
during the debate which led up to to-
days final action, party lines were
swept aside and vigorous fight Gas
waged to saddle the measure with rid
ers that friends Of the measure knew
would have meant the defeat of the
whole proposition. Many amendments
still were on the calendar when the
senate convened.
The bill under the unanimous voting
agreement effected between the differ
ent wings of both parties was taken
up, however, without further debate
in the senate Immediately upon the
conclusion of the routine morning bus
mess.
No one had figured out in advance
lust when the final vote would be
reached, but 1t was expected during
the late afternoon hours.

ence the vote of Senator Depew. He
answered in the negative.

in Washington just preceding the vote
on the Lorimer case, seeing senator's,
inducing others to see them and writ

The fight for reciprocity, the SUI
preme campaign of the present adj
ministration, had it's inception at a
conference sixteen months ago at Al
pany, New York, between President
Tart and Canadian Minister of FL
nance Fielding, and since then it has
been carried along through two con-
crosses, fruitlessly through the last
one because 1t was becalmed In the
senate and successfully in the present
extra session convoked by the presi-
dent expressly for its ratification.
More than two-thirds of the senate
supported the bill.
The bill as passed by the republic
can house last session, was introduced
by Representative Mccall of Massa-
chusetts. The present measure was
fathered by Democratic Leader Under
wood Of the house, chairman Of the
tariff making ways and means COM
mittee
The bin cannot be presented to the
president until next Wednesday, the
house having adjourned at 1850 D. m.
until that time.
Legislative rules require that the

session. 1t was just 1886 D. m. when
the bill passed the senate.
The final vote came at the close OF
"a lively session, begun shortly after
IL a. m. There We're numerous roll
calls on various amendments, but no
attempt at any time to delay the final
action. The senate chamber was well
filled, many members of the house
having gathered in the rear of the
hall. The galleries were crowded.
News of the passage of the reci-
procity bill was telephoned at once to
the White House. President Taft
made no attempt to conceal his
pleasure. He was particularly glad
that the bill had passed prior to his
departure at 5:35 p m. for the week
end visit to Beverley. Taft will be
back in Washington Tuesday morning.
Among the republican senator's who
voted against the bill were Gronna
and McCumber, North Dakota; Craw-
ford and Gamble, South Dakota; CIapp
and Nelson Of Minnesota, and Dixon
Of Montana. Myers, democratic SEN
ator from Montana, voted for the bill.
An analysis of the vote showed that
twenty-four republicans voted against
the bill and twenty-one in favor OF
1t, while three democrats voted against
and thirty-two in favor.

FARGO DAY
BIG SUCCESS
Great Crowd 0ut to See the
Final Windup
ST. HENRY FLEW LAST NIGHT
CROWD FOR LAST DAY BEST or
FAIR AND WAS SATISFACTORY
TO MANAGEMENT - ATTRAc-
TONS THIS YEAR WERE THE
BEST EVER SHOWN.

The crowd for the closing day of the
fair, Fargo Moorhead day, while not
the largest seen in this city in prev
ious years, proved quite satisfactory
in point of numbers. The crowd was
exceptionally orderly and exceeded in
size anything seen on the grounds this
week.
Aside from the many good attrac-
tions which were given free of charge
in front Of the grand stand between
the heats Of the races, the one main
feature Of the day, which will not be
an every day occurrance at coming
fairs, was the parade of the Little
Gliddenites, around the track and in
front of the people in the grand stand.
This will be something long remem-
bered and the acquaintances made
yesterday at that time win doubtless
lead to great social intercourse be-
tween the cities, from which the trir
is being made and Fargo.
The flights of ST. Henry at night
and the. midway attractions Of the
Parker shows, so well managed by Mr..
Kennedy and Mr.. Darnaby, the excel
lent and gentlemanly press agent, were
things that will not be forgotten.
Northwestern Service Good.
Many compliments have been heard
for the Northwestern Telephone Co.,
for its excellent service during the fair.
Nearly all the telephones put In the
different buildings on the grounds were
put in at virtually nothing, and the of
ficiais of the fair had the convenience
telephone communication at practically
no cost at all, which fact was greatly
appreciated by all the exhibitors as
well as the association officers.
The operators were prompt and cared
for everything in good style. knowing
that the wires were only temporary

Quired hasty service. as 1t was long
