COMPANY K WON FOUR
OUT OF SIX GAMES PLAYED

Company KS basketball team returned
Wednesday afternoon loaded down with
a majority of victories in the series of
games played with eastern teams in the
state and with Aberdeen, S. D. The
record of their tour is as follows:
Defeated Bismarck February ~ by a
score of 40 to 19: defeated jamestown
College, February 28 by a score of IS to

lost to Elks strong team at Aberdeen by
the close score of rs to Fl; won from
jamestown Athletics Is to u and on
Tuesday evening defeated. Co. A of
Bismarck by q score of % to a..
Valley City holds the championship
record for the state and the game with
them was the toughest one played on
the trip. The EMS team of Aberdeen
is supposed to be the strongest team in
the two states and. our boys did not
expect to hold down the score which
indicates a very close Dame.
OF the game Tuesday evening with
Company A the Bismarck Tribune said
The basketball team of Co. X of
Dickinson won from Co. A of Bismarck
at the armory Tuesday night by a score
of 2S to 22.sT %@ ~ " t$'@s'
THE game was the fastest that has
been played on the local floor this
season as. we'll as one of the roughest.
With this game Dickinson brought to
an end an eastern series which has ex-
tended over period of ten days.
Bismarck played its best game OF
the year. Last Monday Co. X won by
q score Of 40 to 19, and the difference
in the score indicates the better class of
game Co. A put up this trip.
For Dickinson it was hard to pick
out the best player, as all of the boys
were in the game. Baird and Birch, as
guards, were on the alert every minute
and it was due partly to their splendid
work that Bismarck lost the game.
''Carew and Croft, who each played q
half at center, put up good exhibition,
while Blair and Kunz did some pretty
work as forwards.
1t was due, in large measure. to
Hogue's splendid work at guard tina
Kunz scored only two field goals.
Besides the regular team Baird, Birch,
Grof, Blair and kuntz, Peck and Carew
went along as subs. Manager Ffeur,
referred all games and was perfectl,
satisfied with the result Of all excep
the one with Valley City.

<
The Elks of Dickinson have taken
definite steps the past week toward the
erection of their new home on the old
Linsley site.
Edward Starck, of the firm of Claude
& Starck, architects of Madison. Wis.,.
was in Dickinson four days this week
and closed with the Elk committee for
plans and specifications. The basement
plans will likely be completed by
another week and then active operations
will commence. #
The building committee was appointed
some time ago and is a good one as our
readers vii readily see from the follow
ing names:
Geo. M. Frye. chairman.
T. F. Murtha, secretary. Y
r. H. johnson, treasurer. y
w. F. Burnett.
j. G. Quinlivan.
A. L. Martin.
Ed. Mottershead.
At the regular lodge meeting on Tues
day evening the committee was fully
empowered to 60 ahead with the build
ing. accept plans, let contracts. sell
stock and do everything necessary in
connection with the construction of the
Elk home.
There were nearly 10 members present
al the meeting Tuesday night and they
were very enthusiastic about the new
home. A subscription paper was circu-
lated, each subscribing 500 for stock
and with three shares which Senator
Martin subscribed the following day.
the committee had $1,000 as starter.
The lodge has 200 members and it is
believed that everyone will take at least
one share. representing 500. and many
will take more, so that the question of
financing for $50, 900 to SIS, 900 build
ing will not be a difficult matter. The
preferred stock has guaranteed divi-
dend which makes it desirable as an
investment. The money for the pur-
chase price of the site, 81. $50, was in
the treasury last fall before move was
made.
Edward Starck has had great deal of
experience in the construction of fine
Elk homes, having planned six already,
and it was on account of his special
knowledge in this line of work that his
services were secured.
1t is definitely settled that the ground
floor will be planned for one large store
so by 141 feet, and already
there are three local merchants who are
applicants for the room.
The Elks will use the entire second
floor, which will contain the usual
lodge and ante-rooms, banquet hall,
billiard rooms. reading rooms. rest
rooms for both ladies and gentlemen,
and everything to make comfortable
home for the Elks and their friends.
All will be fitted in the most modern
style.
The question of third floor will not
be determined until the architect gets a
draft of the plans to be presented to
the building committee.
| 1t is believed, however, that there il
a demand for moderate priced hall, ia
a central location, and many of the
members think that q third floor could
be profitab]y constructed for this pur.
pose.

ments charging him with larceny from
the person before Judge Jay Ten Eyck
in Special Sessions Court this morning.
Velieri was caught by Detective

Kate Spriggs. of lob Watching avenue,
and Miss Mary A. Scott, of 437 Scot
land road, Orange, all of whom identi-
fed Velieri as a man who had been
near them at Broad and Market streets
shortly before they missed various
sums of money from their purses.
Velieri has beer in this country but
a trifle over a year, and is said to
have served time in Poland for pocket
picking. The matter may be taken up
with the United States officials and
Velieri ordered deported as an I'M
desirable alien.
Pleas of guilty were also entered by

TWENTY-ONE FINE EASTER
HATS DUMPED LIKE DIRT,
Scayenger Considered Caseful in
Yard as Carriage.

1t is evident that the city scaveneers
do not appreciate the value of ladies'
headgear. In fact they are so ignorant
of the cost of millinery, or the demand
for it, that they picked up a case full
of hats, all shapes and styles, twenty
one in number, and dumped them in
the city dumping grounds.
This misfortune befell the hats
bought and paid for by Miss n. a.
Martin. a milliner, of POI Clifton ave
nue., and today she has recovered but
seven and a half of the twenty-one
hats.
1t happened this way: The case filled
with hats was delivered by express last
Tuesday and placed in the back yard
of the millinery establishment. When
the scavenger came o to collect
the refuse, usually kept in large pack
ing cases, he picked up the case con-
tanning the hats and mercilessly threw
it onto the wagon.
After searching In vain for the Easter
bonnets for which she had orders, and
which are in great demand just now,
Miss Martin decided to take the police
into her confidence, with the result
that Detectives Ebert and Templeton
recovered seven whole hats and part OF
another, way down near the dumping
grounds.
Tt is said that the families in the
neighborhood of where the hats were
dumped were under the impression that
a philanthropist in disguise had left the
hats there, and hat when all the hats
had been appropriated he would leave
several suits of spring clothing. When
told of how the hats got there, the
neighborhood was greatly disappointed

DEFENDS ONLY
CERTAIN PARTS
OF GERAN BILL
Governor Wilson at Hoboken
Silent on Essentials of
Measure.
tFrom a STAFF Correspondent. ]

HOBOKEN, March 3.-Governor Will
son., in a speech before the Board OF
Trade of this city, last night, defended
the Geran primary reform bill now be-
fore the Legislature. The governor did
not go into datails on the measure. He
said nothing of the proposal to close
the polls an hour earlier than usual,
which has aroused the forces of organ
lied labor against it; ne was silent on
the section which gives to political fac
lions fake and otherwise representation
on board of election; he had nothing to
say of the clause which would compel
all naturalized citizens OF the State to
produce their citizenship papers every
time they want to vote; he entered n
no defense OF the Massachusetts ballot.
which, if adopted by the Legislature,
will put the Democratic party out or
business IN New Jersey.
He confined his remarks on the Geran
bill to g~eneralities. That was <le only
legislative measure to which he gave
any attention at length. He dismissed
the Egan public utilities bill and the
employers liability bill with the re-
mark hat they were not party meas
ures, nor issues Of politics, merely
issues OF common sense. Concerning
the Geran bill he said in part:
The fundamental bill of this ses-
sion, gentlemen, is the bill that is
called the primaries and elections bill;
the bill which, for the present at any
rate, bears the name of q very excellent
member of the Assembly. Mr.. Geran. OF
Monmouth county. What does that bill
try to do?
Nov, the object of the Geran bill is
to restore the government to the peo-
Pile; and the Geran bill is going to be
adopted. l know hat it is going to be
adopted, because l know that the peo-
pie of New Jersey want 1t. do moi
| want it except as one of the people Of
| New Jersey. 1t is not my bill; 1t Is no.
any mans bill. The beautiful thine
about it is that it is no mans bill. II
is a bill that comes from h a irrepres'
sible demand Of a people that has dis
covered that throughout decade after

PROSECUTOR ON
STAND At The
ATLANTIC PROBE
VIII MOI Present Election Evil
dence to Grand Jury Until
Investigation Ends.
Especial to the Newark star.I

ATLANTIC CITY, March 3.-Prose-
cutor Goldenbers was probed by he
Assembly investigating committee to-
day.
Mr.. Goldenberg was asked regarding
the indictment of William Lamb, city
employee and election officer, who was
indicted in 1909 individually n col
lectively with three other members
of the election board for keeping out
fifty votes from the ballot-box and for
destroying fifty other ballots at a pri-
mary election.
Mr.. Goldenberg was asked whether
or not any call for a reassembling OF
the grand jury of the present term had
been made because of disclosures made
before the investigating committee,
and he replied that it had not, and in
reply to Mr.. Hinkle he said he did not
think 1t should or could be until the
committee had completed its investiga-
tons. He had taken the matter up
with Supreme Court Justice Trenchard,
who was the only one authorized to
call the grand jury together again after
Ats ina adjournment, and the justice
had advised that nothing be done until
the committee had completed its work
and he and the prosecutor could secure
q transcript of the records and &c over
It carefully and determine what should
be done.
He was asked why he had not taken
any action in reference to prosecution
OF persons alleged to have admins
tered a drug to Frank Smathers, can
didate for Assembly, and he replied
nothing with reference to the matter
had ever come to his official notice, and
he was under the impression that
Smathers was not yet clear as to iden-
tity of the person himself. He said he
would not refuse to act when h case
was aid before his official attention.
Chief of Police Woodruff was also
placed on the stand to explain his in
structions to policemen during cleo
ton day and before through said in re-
ply to questions by Hinkle that police
men and others had been requested to
contribute to the extent of 2 per cent.
of their annual salary to the campaign
fund.
Some had compiled; others had not.
Their standing in the department had
not been affected by their refusal. He
denied ever refusing to make arrests
for alleged fraud and cited cases in
which arrests had been made, people
tried and some OF them indicted.
Because of disorder caused near the
close of the session of the Assembly
Investigation committee by Boardwalk
Inspector Lamb, yesterday afternoon
Chairman Macksey and his colleagues
have submitted a request to Chief o.
Police Woodruff that a policeman b.
assigned to all future sessions, in ordel

that the work of the committee may be
carried on without interruption from
those who have been rendered des-
perate by the disclosures. Lambs in
terruption came at the close of a ses-
sion that fairly teemed with sensational
developments, in which the lie direct
was given to Sheriff Enoch Johnson,
who testified at a previous hearing
that he had had no access to the cleo
ion returns filed in the office of the
county clerk after the charge of re-
peating had been brought against
Frank Bowman, manager of the Hotel
Dunlop and the member of the January
grand jury.

NETCONG, March 3.-The explosion
of $4,000 pounds of dynamite and black
powder in a concrete sealed tunnel
driven seventy-five feet into the side
of Roseville mountain yesterday, pro-
duced hardly a ripple outside of the
three-quarter-mile zon guarded from
the public. The blast was the largest,
so far as can be learned, that was
ever fred in construction work within
the State. but SO exactly were the cal
culations of the engineers made. and
so nearly were they realized, that only
the expected happened.
Forty thousand yards of solid trap
rock composing the crest of the hill
which confronted the, workers on the
Lackawanna cutoff were loosened and
shaken apart SO that work of several
months without the blast has now be-
come one of a few days. The roar
was a muffied me-; there was no vio-
lent rocking of the earth and no whole
sale destruction of windows, as had
been predicted. . Debris flew several
hundred feet, but were 1t not for the
loosened hill Of rock there would be no
knowing today hat there had been a
blast.
A Notable Blast.
1t was the greatest prearranged ex-
plosion in the East since the blowing
up of He'll Gate, when 100000 pounds
of explosive packed into twenty-one
feet of tunnel, and into 113,102 feet OF
drilled holes made a channel up the
Sound through which a battleship can

BLOWING
MACHINES SUCCESSFUL.

M~ILLVILLE, March 3.-After having
experimental for months at the cost
of thousands of dollars with glass
bottle-blowing machines, the rWhitall'
Tatum Company is said to have sue
ceeded in the manufacture of carboys
by machinery, and today machine oper-
ators were placed making the ware.
Even the most firm believers in the
machine have said that it would be
many years before this kind Of ware
could be made by other han skilled
hand workmen, while many believed
that it would never in his generation
be accomplished. Skilled workmen on
carboys are able to draw wages of
about SIS for a day of about five hours,
and the perfection of a machine of this
kind will save the company thousands
of dollars annually.
