central and south central part Of the
state. The reports which came from
the association field. men a that
some Of the fires were, quite disastrous
In their effect on the farms which
were not protected.
Not only stacked grain has burned,
but. grain which Is out In fields has
been destroyed. The stacks were not

quentiy the case. The formers should
see that fire breaks are. made around
their stacks. This little work IL likely
to save them many dollars in case of
fire.
II consider It very important that
In all exposed places the stacks should
be. carefully protected. It is too bad
to have excellent grain destroyed be-
aus of the failure Of the farmers to
take this little precautionary measure.
It is noticeable all through the state
that too little attention is being paid
to this feature. There is considerable
danger Of prairie fires at this time Of
n year especially.
The greatest damage done so far

and Burleigh counties and there Il has
been considerable"

THE DAYNAM|TERS
kept TWO RECORDS
One For the Union and the
Public, the Other For
the Officials

Indianapolis. Oct. Threading
from the financial account books Of
the International. Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
for the period when John j. McNa-
mara. the secretary-treasurer. was
conducting a Campaign Of explo-
sions'' about the country, Miss Mary
G. Dye. former bookkeeper for Nc
Namara. testified at the dynamite
conspiracy trial today that n rec
ord of money expended was kept for
the unions officials and executive
board members, while a different rec
ord was kept for the public and for
members Of the union generally.
A regular system of Juggling" the
accounts. the government charges.
was maintained to conceal payments
for expenses OF dynamiting.
Miss Dyes testimony was that Of a
dual system Of recording expenditures
was in force prior to 1909 or until
the executive board decided to allow
Mcnamara $1,000 a month without
requiring any accounting. which con-
tinued until after the Los Angeles
Times building was blown up. 1t was
out of this $1,000 a month, the gov
eminent charges, that Mcnamara paid
Ortie e. MECHANICAL and James B. Nc
Namara for the Pacific coast explo-
sions and for thirty.five other explo-
sions.
The defendants named by witnesses
as having been members of the ex-
ecutive board who were .c%ognizant of
the use to which the money was put,
we're Frank NJ. Ryan. president Of the
union: John T. Butler, Buffalo. first
vice president: Eugene A. Clancy, San
Francisco: Henry W. Legleitner, Den
yer; Frank G. Webb, New York:
Michael J. Young, Boston, and Her
bert S. Hockin. present secretary.
They are among the forty-five men
on trial charged with illegally trans
porting explosives by aiding and abet-
ting.
Miss Dye testified that in the hooks
available to the officials the full
amounts paid to Mcnamara, Hockin,
Webb and others were given, but in
the records published in the Union
magazine less than half the amounts
were charged to the individuals while
the difference was charged to the
emergency fund, by order of the ex-
ecutive board" The witness said
that for the fiscal year ending in 1909
$3,69S was paid to Webb. while ST.
572 was recorded in McNamara's re-
port to the union; 1870 was paid to
Hockin. while $2.043 was reported to
the union; and s2,537 was paid to J.
]. Mcnamara. while 1887 was re-
ported to the union as having been
paid to him, the difference in each
case being charged to emergency
fund.
Altogether. the government alleges
that $4,000 vas represented In ag-
gregate differences and it vas used for
dynamiting purposes.
The witness stated that prior to the
monthly allowances to Mcnamara
funds were charged up as donations
to various unions OF as advances to
various officials. without any later
showing as to disposition Of the
money.
A dozen foremen Of structural iron
and steel erection jobs where explo-
sions occurred may be called to tes-'
tify tomorrow. They are to be ques-
toned about details of explosions
which McManiga. confessed he
caused.

A member of the football team said:

lacking at the u and 1t. hurts the
football boys like everything. We
can't play as we should when the stu
dent body is Indifferent. What we
need out here is a little more enthusi-
asm. I might say that the football
team Is about as much disguised with
the student body as the students are
with us. We did play a poor game on
Saturday and I don't feel like making
excuses. but I know for a fact that
several members of the team were not
in shape and should not have been
permitted to play. However. we will
go through. the season, if they have

association and meets with favorable
action at n next session of the legis-
lature, this state will oon have a new
set OF school laws on its statute books.
At the meeting today of the County
superintendent association Of the
state, this legislative committee, which
was appointed at the meeting Of the
Educational association at Fargo last
year, made its report. and the differ
ent proposed changes were discussed.
AS Chairman F. r. Barnes, superin-
tendent Of Richland county, expressed
II, n changes suggested are not radi-
cal, but have been outlined for the best
interests Of the schools of the state
and are adapted to modern methods.
He said that ninety per cen Of the
school laws Of the state pertain to the
common schools. and. as the county
superintendents had to wear the har-
1t was but natural that they should
make suggestions as t what the laws
should be.
Harmony Deserved.
In speaking on behalf of the COM
mtttee. he said the main object was
to get laws that the county superin-
tendents could harmonic on. If it
was impossible for them to harmonic
on n OF h suggestions outlined by
visable to drop those suggestions and
work for only those things they could
agree on.
The new set of school laws, as out
lined by this committee, cover janitor
service, equipment, hiring Of teach
ers. sanitary conditions. t%ransporta-
ton. consolidation. county tuition
fund. compulsory education and its en-
forcement, certification Of teachers.
the creation of a board Of superin.
tendents. text book conditions and
rural aid laws.

recommended was the passage OF a
constitutional amendment. increasing
