NJ 'CUMBER and
High PRICES
HOW SENATOR FROM NORTH oA-
KoTA STARTED CRUSADE
AGAINST BIG PROFITS
OF MIDDLEMAh.

Washington, Feb. 6.-When Senator
McCumber of North Dakota was forced
to part with 25 cents for RED, ripe to-
mato in the senate restaurant a year
ago it never was suspected that the
incident might project irself into the
future, and possibly affect legislation
pending in congress.
Mr.. McCumber uttered a cry of rage
when he examined his lunch bill ana
found twenty five cenIs'' penciled op-
rosite the tomato he had consumed
with relish. He proceeded to the SEN
ate chamber where ne delivered a
speech on the high cost of living. He
told the senators about the outrage
that had been perpetraued on him.
IF tomatoes were soId in North Da-
kota at that rate" he declared, "the
farmers. Of my state would be getting
S400 a busheI for them. The tariff
has little or nothing to do with the cost
Of living. The prices now prevailing are
due largely to the taxations of the mid
dleman and retailer and the cost OF
transportation"
Senator McCumber has asked the
finance committee, now considering the
tariff board bill, to insert a provision
IN that measure directing the board t.
consider, in making inquiries into the
cost of production, the element Of cost
represented by the transportation of
agricultural products from the farm to
the market He expects to prove, when
the tariff comes up in the future, the
farmer is reaping only fair profit
from the present high prices, and the
lions share goes to the commission
man, the retailer and the railroad.

CRAZY MAN
FIRES Hotel
Grand Pacific at Bismarck
Has Narrow Escape

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. A young
man about "a years old, registering at
the Grand Pacific hotel under the name
Of F. B. Barrett Of Billings, set fire to
his room Sunday morning and made
his escape from the city before the
smoke was discovered. Three big holes
were dug in the outside wall and in
two partition walls, where matches
were applied,
Barrett LEFT CAP ,r tne s:1O east
hound Northern Paeitic train and when
the bellboy went to the door he saw
smoke issuing from under the door.
Barrett was not inside, and all that
could be found was new grip, which
when pried open was found to be
empty.
The man is thought to be either
crazy or sent here for some special
design. He registered at the Grand
Pacific Saturday afternoon. Sunday
morning he paid his BILL but stated he
would not leave until the early morn
ing train Monday. He was not seen
from that time
Sheriff Barnes of Burleigh county
was called, but no trace of Barrett has
been found. No great damage was
done to the room in the hotel. as the
transom was closed which did not
permit draft. Barrett evidently be-
gan his work Saturday night. The
housekeeper of the Grand Pacific states
he had arranged several pieces of fur
niture in such manner as to screen
his digging into the partition wall
from notice Sunday morning when the
room was made up. 1t is thought Bar
rett has gone east.

MOODY IS
THE WINNER
Famous Rchland County Case
Is Decided
DECISION BY CRAWFORD
MOODY WAS FIRST DECLARED
ELECTED, HELEY REFUSED TO
VAcATE, STARTED CONTEST
AND WAS DECLARED THE WIN.
NER BUT NOW LOSES OUT.

Wahpeton, n. D., Feb. 6.-George e.
Moody is the official sheriff of Rich
land county. Judge Crawford of Dick
inson, who had been called in by
Judge Allen to hear the case, rendered
a decision this morning for Moody. At
the election last fall, after q three
cornered fight, the returns indicated
Moody had won by eleven votes. Sher-
jh Heley who was completing his
first term, declined to yacate and be.
gan a conte"t. Moody instituted man
damus proceedings. In the meantime
the old county canvassing board was
reconvened and after throwing out two
townships, declared Heley elected.
The ballots were recounted and
Moody was found to be entitled to the
office.
Heley will no doubt appeal the case
TO the supreme court.
For the past month RIchland has
had two sheriffs. as both had taken
the oath OF office.
The decision of Judge Crawford is
faForabIy received. as there Is no
Goubt in the minds of most people
that Moody received the largest num-
ber Of votes.
