PLAYED TONIGHT
INDOOR BASEBALL GAMES IN
THE CHURCH LEAGUE WILL
BE PLAYED TONIGHT AT THE Y.
M. c. sA.-WARM CONTESTS ARE
EXPECTED.

With the end of the revival meet
ings, the indoor baseball games in the
church league will start out tonight.
with the expectations OF not having
the series interrupted again this sea-
son.
The games are now becoming much
faster than they have been and as the
season advances, the contests between
the different churches have waxed
warm. 1t is expected that all the
games tonight will be holly contested
and much interest is beng attached to
them.
The first contest will be between the
followers of John Wesley. The First
Methodists will meet the Broadway
Methodists and the north siders will
attempt to pull the south side players
down from their pedestal
The Baptists and the A. c. will
cross bats in the second contest this
evening. The last time these two
teams met, the church men proved
victorious and they will try and du-
plicate the trick again this evening.
The Christians and the Presby-
terians will hang up the TALES in the
final of the evenings contests. These
teams are about evenly placed in the
percentage column and there is but
little doubt but that they will play a
close game.

The SOLONS Want
EXPENSE MONEY

Bismarck, n. D., Feb. 13.-While still
acting as the committee of the whole,
the house had quite a little fun with
H. B. so, the Stranahan bill which
gives the 5000 expense money to the
legislators during the session. Mr..
Davidson of Burke moved that the bill
be referred TO the committee on ways
and means, while Mr. Fried made a
substitute motion that 1t be indefinite
~ postponed.
Mr.. Price of Cass county could not
see why the bill was not just-as least
as Just as much so as the, one two
years ago which provided for the per-
sonal expenses of the governor and
other state officials. He did not feel
the members OF the legislature were
asking too much in requesting their
expense money, that many of the clerks
were making more than they and as
they were business men giving up their
time to legislate good laws for the
needs Of the state and people, he
thought it was up TO the state to pay
them for their labors.
Mr. Sorlie said the original intent
of the bill was joke and he defied
any member to vote for 1t when IL
came up for passage. At once there
were fifty men on their feet stating
they would vote for it. Colonel Frame
in the chair, said it was evident that
Mr.. Sorlie had his defiance satisfied.
Then Mr.. Price said that the consti-
tuition said plainly in reference to the
governors salary that it should be a
certain amount until otherwise pro-
vided for and that the same could APP
ply to the legislators. He said the
bill was not introduced as a joke nor
was ii intended to be treated as such.
Mr.. Streeter said he thought the MEM
bers were underpaid but until there
was a constitutional provision for an
increase in their pay he was opposed
to taking any advantage of the law
by jumping through the smallest loop
hole.
Mr.. Price then amended the bill by
inserting the provision that an appro-
priation of $780, should be made out
of the state funds which would make
5000 for each members expenses.
There were several objections to this
but quite a number, including Mr..
DISCARD of Nelson. spoke in favor OF
the measure. The chief objection of
those in the opposition appeared to be
that they did not wish to go on record
as having passed such a bill.
When the Price amendment was put
to vote 1t carried, together with the
motion for passage.

SCRAP over
over DRAINAGE

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 13.--When the
house went into the committee of the
whole Saturday to consider the bills
up for general orders, Of which there
were twenty or more, owing to the
retarded work on the calendar, Colonel
Frame was called to the chair. There
were two important discussions which
lasted nearly two hours, one over the
drainage bill, H. B. rs. and the other
over the Stranahan personal expense
BILL II. B. 80, which appropriates $500
to each member OF the legislature to
cover his personal expenses while at
tending the session.
The drainage bill, introduced by Mr..
Sorlie, which has been up before and
rereferred to the committee on agri-
culture and returned with a majority
and a minority report, had been
amended so as to remedy the objec-
tions OF the opposition. led by Mr..
Akesson Of Cass county. Immediately
upon the reading OF the amendments,
Mr.. Akesson moved that the bill be
recommended for indefinite postpone
ment.
Mr.. Sorlie was upon his feet at once
In defense Of the measure and stated
that under the new provisions, farmers
were now privileged to tile into the
road bitches. which were for the use
and that II was not their intention to

A TUBERCULOSIS
BILL INTRODUCED

Bismarck, n. D., Feb. 13.-Repre-
sentative Englund has taken an ad-
vanced step in the tuberculosis move
ment and Saturday he introduced a
bill in the mouse providing for the re-
imbursement Of owners Of cattle de-
stroyed by order of the state live stock
sanitary board on account OF that dis
ease. The bill also provides for the
levying OF a tax to create a fund
therefor.
The bill is thought to be a necessary
one and payes the way to more string
ent legislation along this line later.
Those laboring in the interests of tu-
berculosis will be glad to learn that
such a measure has gone in as It will
assist materially, II enacted into law,
in the great crusade against the white
plague. II is known that tubercular
cattle are a menace to human
health and the disposal Of these dis
eased animals has worked quite
hardship on their owners for whom
there is not much reimbursement for
the loss incurred in their killing.
Another bin Mr.. Englund introduced
Saturday was one creating and estab-
fishing an agricultural experimental
station at or near Kenmare, for which
$4,000 is appropriated in the bill. This
is a bill which is believed will carry
as many are interested in the project
and are Of the opinion that such an
institution should be located at the
goose neck metropolis for the benefit
of that section Of the state.

A LARGE CROWD
Sees The GAME
BANNER CROWD WITNESSES THE
CONTEST BETWEEN THE A. c
AND FARGO COLLEGE IN WHICH
THE AGGIEs WlN-GAME WAS
HoTLY CONTESTED.

Saturday night before over LOO
spectators, the. AgRies defeated the
Fargo college team by a score of go
to IL. The game was characterized
by rough playing and the teams held,
showed and hacked frequently
The quints were weak on field bas-
kets and especially the preachers, only
making one field goal during the en-
tire game and missing many open
shots.
There was little or no team work by
either team. At times the Aggies
would get together and start the ball
toward their goal but could not keen
it long enough to shoot. The officials
were forced to call fouls continually
" hich made the game slow and at
times .uninteresting.
The game started slowly and neither
five seemed to be able to get the pill
anywhere near the ring, until Bridge
made a pretty basket from the center
of the floor. After a few minutes Of
fouling and wrestling over the bal.
Haggart shot the only field goal made
by the preachers. Nolet followed with
a field goal which placed the Aggies
in the lead. After much fouling an |
occasionally scoring the half ended
with the score Is to in favor of the
A. c.
The second half started with some
changes in both Iineups For the visi.
tors Harrington went in for Slingsby
and for the aggies. Wheeler for
Crafthefer. Drummond for McConn and
in the last few minutes of the half
Clark replaced :! NdIets ! The changes
seemed to make little difference as in
this neither team was able to score
consistently. Time was taken out for
Bridge and Haggart for injuries
but they remained in the game. In this
half the preachers only score was
free score by Walker.
Bridge and Nolet were easily the
stars of the game, both played con-
sistent ball though they were not at
their best on free throws. Haggart
Harrington and Walker played good
kali for the Fargo college.
Had this game been conducted under
intercollegiate rules the officials would
not have been forced to call fouls so
closely. and as a result the game would
have been much faster and more in
teresting.
TIL lineup was as follows:
Bridge ... r Harrington, Thayer
Nolet Clarke +. George Haggart.
Crafthefer and Walker and
Wheeler ...,...... .C........... Thayer
barrow, (capt) sc .... Boise
McConn and Slingsby and

In a well played game Of basket
ball Saturday afternoon at the Y M.
G. A. gymnasium, the students of the
Dakota Business college won from the
students OF the AalSer Business col
lege by score of a to 20. The
guarding of both aggregations was
weak.
The game started off slowly, but
later the rivals hit faster pace and
showed some clever work at times.
A large crowd witnessed the game and
much enthusiasm was shown by the
supporters Of the two teams.
The contest was between the bona
fide students of the two schools and
was for the city business college

DENIES ACCUSATIONS

Iowa City a. Feb 13.-Iowa foot
ball men and athletic authorities are
ridiculing the accusations made by
Missouri with regard to spying during
the football season, which have been
conjured by Missouri authorities as
the reason for refusal to play
Iowa this year. Manager Kellogg today
produced letter from Missouri show
ing that that was not the cause. but
the color line on Alexander made the
breach.
At the same time the football men
are throwing the alleged trick played
upon them two years ago by Missouri

of Missouri's coach and former
Princeton star, offered to assist Iowa's
coach, Griffith, In a weeks preparation
