LA5oRING MEN OF NORTHWEST
WILL REGRET TO HEAR OF DE.
MISE OF WELL KNOWN LABOR
LEADER-ELEcTED AT FARGO
coNVENTloN.s

Laboring men of Fargo and all North
Dakota will be grieved to learn of the
death of GeCrgeeB. Howley yesterday.
The Minneapolis Tribune has the fol-
lowing account: .
George B. Howley, AZ years old, four
times elected to the presidency of the
State Federation of Labor, died in a
Minneapolis hospital early today. He
was i'll only a short time. Mr.. Howley
was one of the most prominent labor
leaders Of the northwest. He was prob
ably more in the limelight at the time
of h s~witchmen's strike in 1909 than
at n other time during his career.
His life a been a busy one, spent in
the interests of organized labor. He
held many offices in labor circles.
Mr.. Howley was born in Alton Bay,
N. H, in 1855. He early acquired a
love for manual training. He came to
Minneapolis when he was II years old
and learned the trade of painter and
decorator. He Joined the Minneapolis
Painters and Decorators union in
May, 1900, and in 1905 and 1905 he
was elected president of the union.
In the fall of 1894 he was elected
secretary and business agent of the
Building Trades council and served in
this capacity for three terms. He
succeeded John Wahlquist in this Of
flee, n demonstrated his ability as
q labor leader. He was elected presi-
dent of the State Federation of Labor
in the st. Cloud convention in 1906.
Elected Second Term.
TJf- g,,noo-. - 49, at
marked that he was elected again in
the Winona convention in 1907. The
Federation elected him again in the
Red Wing convention in 1908 and at
the convention held in Fargo. N. D. in
1909.
He was succeeded in office at the
Mankota convention, June, 1911, by f..
G. Hall, the present incumbent of the
office.
MI. Howley was an organizer for the
American Federation of Labor and
represented that organization in the
building trades strike in Duluth in
1903. The strike resulted in a satisfac-
tory compromise, and Mr.. Howley was
given credit in certain circles for Sc
curing as favorable an ending to the
strike as was possible.
He was often heard to say that he
was not a party man in politics, but
he took a keen interest in city. state
and national politics. He was a mem
Der of the Order of United Workmen.
Mr.. Howley is survived by Mrs. How
ley, whom he married shortly after he
went into business in Minneapolis, and
a sister, Mrs. John Meehan.

MEETING.

.
Aside from the statement made by
Alderman Cupler regarding the fin
ances Of the city, an account of which
will be found elsewhere in this issue.
and a protest regarding paving, the
city council last night was largely a
routine affair.
In the absence from the meeting of
Mayor Lowell, Pres. James Stewart

Gil decided to meet again Feb. 10.
A remonstrance with the signatures
of several property owners of the
Fourth ward, protesting against the
paving of the unpaved portion of
Fourth street. was read, Seth Rich
.ardson appeared before the council
and said that this was the first definite
protest fled and he wished the coun-
ell would set a date when they could
act on this matter. Alderman Nc
Donald referred the petition to the city
engineer. The city engineer will be
instructed to make estimates as to the
number of feet to be paved n the
costs. This matter will be taken up
at the next meeting.
A letter was forwarded to the city
auditor addressed to Mr.. Kingsley
from Mrs. @. E. Wilson, who is now in
California, protesting against the paw
ing of Tenth street. She asks Mr..
Kingsley to act as proxy for her. The
letter was ordered to be attached to a
petition and placed On file and 1t will
be taken up later.
The statutes require the city audi
tor to post notice for the requisition
Ave days or more than ten days.
These notices r to be posted in
three places in the city. Jurors will
be drawn at the next meeting.
Many estimates were approved and
placed on file.

collected from their different pre-
cincts and slowed away by the city
au tor for repairs and made ready for

A motion was carried by the city
council and the city auditor was in
structed to advertise for bids on the
sale of an old water pump which has
been u of commission for the past
eight years and has been in the Gus
toby of the pump house. This purnr
was installed by the city at the pump
house in 1879. Bids will be advertised
for it's sale.

DR.. SMITH GAVE
SPLENDID TALK
CITY HEALTH OFFICER READ A
FINE PAPER LAST NIGHT BE-
FORE MEMBERS or CONNER
cIAL CLUB - RECOMMENDED
SOME EXCELLENT REMEDIES.

The members Of the commercial club
were given an excellent treat last
evening in a paper on Health Conser-
walton by City Health Officer H. B.
Smith. DR.. Smiths effort was one of
the best that has been heard along
any line in the city In a long while and
was much appreciated by everyone
present. Following his paper there
was a general discussion led by SUIT.
w. e. Hoover of the public schools
who spoke on some of the necessities
of public health in the municipal edu-
cational department.
In his paper DIR. Smith discussed a
large number Of subjects that bear
directly on public health both from
the standpoint of the city, county and
nation. He took up the question Of
the national health department which
has been proposed in congress and
mentioned the adverse criticism the
project had received from the press of
the country at large, DR.. Smith felt
that an erroneous impression had been
circulated broadcast regarding this
issue as it had been maintained in
some quarters that a national health
department would mean the establish
ment of a medical trust. He said in
this respect the physicians Of the
country would be the first to suffer
if all precaution were taken to stamp
out disease and sickness Of any kind,
as it would greatly lessen the present
sick rate and scout off his
DR.. Smith then discussed conditions
in the city of Fargo taking up the
~preventable diseases here and how
they can be eliminated and then advo-
Gated the establishment of the proper
kind of a health department, urging
the appointment of a city health Off
GER who would be engaged in no other
practice and who would devote his en-
tire time to the study of health condi-
tons of Fargo. DR.. Smith urged that
such an office be filled by a man of
the highest proficiency and that he
be allowed to remain in office regard
less of political changes.
He advocated the establishment of
a municipal laboratory where study
could be made of the different. diseases
that visit the city. Hrs paper was ex-
cellent and contained some useful in
formation concerning public health
with which many were not wholly
familiar. There was no other business
brought before the club last evening.

ALLEN & EDWARDS
GET LONG TERMS
AND TWENTY
SEVEN YEARS RESPECTIVELY
THEY WILL SERVE.

WYTHEVILLE, Va, Dec. 13.-Fin-
al settlement of all the cases result
ing from the killing of five persons
in the Hillsville, Va, courthouse by
the Allen clan on March IA last, was
reached this afternoon when Sidna
Allen pleaded guilty to second de-
gree murder for killing Sheriff Webb,
and Wesley Edwards pleaded guilty
to three charges pending against
him.
Thirty-five years in the peniten-
tiary is the penalty Sidna Allen will
pay for the part he played in the
shooting, and Wesley Edwards, will
spend twenty-seven years in the
penitentiary.
These two sentences were the re-
suit of a compromise this afternoon
following verdict of voluntary man
slaughter in the case of Sidna Allen
for the murder of Commonwealth
Attorney VIM nj. Foster. The jury
fixed the penalty in that case at five
years Imprisonment. Allen already
had been found guilty of second-de
gree murder at former trial for the
killing of Judge Thornton NJ Massie,
for which he had been sentenced to
fifteen years in the penitentiary, and
the other Indictment pending against
him for the murder of Sheriff Webb
was compromised by letting him
plead guilty to second degree muir
der and take a fifteen year sentence,
the combined sentence making thirty
five years. Three indictments
against Wesley Edwards also were
compromised, he taking a sentence of
nine years Imprisonment on each.
This ends, so far as the courts are
concerned, the courthouse tragedy.
On the statement of attorneyn for
Floyd Allen aud Claude Swanson Al
Len, that newly discovered evidence
lis sufficient to make the granting of
new trial by the supreme court
probable, Gov. Mann this afternoon
granted respite to the two men
until January II. They were to have
died in the electric chair Friday of
this week for their part in the Hills
vile murder of March a. when

Attorney W. M. Foster, Sheriff l. F.

SEVERAL STORES
CLOSE CHRISTMAS

For the first time the big depart
ment stores of Columbia will cclse
all day Christmas. Heretofore the
stores have closed for a part OF the

they will close the entire day on
Wednesday of next week. An agree
ment to this effect was signed this
morning by Maury Dry Goods Co., Ev-
ans, Parker & Moore, Anderson Eros.

The proprietors and clerks in these
stores are always worn out with the

through on Christmas eve and then
to have to spend the day following, or
the greater portion of it at their
stores, keeps them away from their
families and is too much of tax on
already overweight nerves. 1t is a
certainty that the people, with very
few exceptions, will heartily endorse
the decision to close for this greatest

funny faced women they had to choose
from, as the fair ones had been secert-

when the lady chose her partner with

and still another one with a red Ian

imagine the merriment when the
strains of the waltz drifted these
dancers along, around the hall. The
