CARELESSNESS
With EXPLOSIVES

Devils Lake. N. D., Feb. 19,-In a
campaign against the careless ship
ment of high explosives, e~ndangering
the lives of scores and costing dearly
in human blood every year, d. W.
McNabb of the bureau of explosives
spent Saturday in Devils Lake. Mr..
McNabb is inspector for this district.
Concerning the work the department
is carrying on, he said:
1T has come to the attention Of
the Bureau of Explosives, Americans
Railway association. that many OF the
users of explosives, and especially mi
ners who are foreigners not CONVEX
SAINT with the English language or the
requirements of the federal law, are
In the habit of including packages of
explosives in their baggage checked
in the usual n on a passenger
train and in packages of household
furniture shipped in the usual way by
freight.
The federal law strictly forbids a
concealed shipment of explosives or
the transportation of explosives on
passenger trains even when declared.
Packages of explosives must be pack
ed in regular shipping containers,
and accompanied by shipping orders
of the usual form. The penalty pro-
yided for violation of the federal law
is eve and may equal a fine not to
exceed $4,000. with or without impris-
onment, not to exceed eighteen
months.
Many violations of the kind de-
scribed above have been reported and
in all such cases where the evidence
was sufficient to warrant conviction
prosecutions have been started. Guilty
parties even when their action was
due to ignorance have been fined and
imprisoned; ignorance is no excuse
for a violation of this kind.
"As examples, 1t may be stated that
miners and other parties have taken
Kegs of blasting powder and even
Packages of loose sticks of dynamite
mixed with blasting cars all wrapped
in loose paper packages into the smok-
ing cars of passenger trains. In other
cases wash-tuhs and barrels sup
posed to contain only household goods
have been found to contain loose pow
der n sticks of dynamite.
This is a matter that affects pub.
lie safety and this information should
be used not only by parties to pre-
vent their own practice from being in
violation of the law, but each person
should do all in his power to spread
this information in the interests OF
public safety and to prevent violations
by all parties.
Public spirited citizens willing Ia
assist in promoting the safety of the
public in this respect mi possessing
Information or suggestions that
would be valuable are requested to

COMMENT OF THE DAY
Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Wheat: The cash
demand. both here and in the south
west, was very quiet. There were
more or less reports received from the
soft winter wheat belt regarding the
unfavorable outlook for the crop, but
we think 1t is too early to determine
whether any actual damage has been
done or not. The tendency of the May
future is so erratic that conservative
traders are combining their operations
to July and September, and we think
these futures are by far the safest to
trade in, because any accident to the
growing crop would certainly affect
these months more than. May.

s. B. Chaplin & Co.: Wheat. in this
country appears to he ,lentiful in all
directions, consequently we think the
market is a sale on all hard spots.
Logan & Bryan: Iowa news on
corn is very bullish. AS the break
was largely with wheat early rally is
probable.
Finley Darrell & Co: While re-
ACTIONS in wheat are natural and to
be anticipated we believe a radical
change in both foreign and domestic
news is necessary to prevent prices
from sagging still lower. We continue
to feel that present prices for corn
futures are unwarranted and hat a
healthy break in the near future is
inevitable. Chas e. Lewis & Co.

Against the Open Caucus.

In deciding against the open caucus the
democrats Of the House displayed the
courage Of their convictions Those In
favor of the proposition were few in

for. the galleries. Why have opened the
doors to the public? Are there not many
things best discussed in private? Are not
all important party matters best shaped

titled to be heard free TO speak his mind

No More Mall Buildings!

While II Is to be hoped that Congress
will at this session provide funds for
the immediate beginning Of work on the
new department buildings already au-
horized. the provision drafted for this
purpose should not be adopted In it's
present form. 1t authorizes Secretary
Macveagh to enter into contracts for
the erection Of three buildings upon
land belonging TO the United States In
the District Of Columbia" the total cost
not to exceed 100000. Two Of these
buildings are to DO located upon land
heretofore acquired Ut the west end Of the
Mall-Avenue triangle and the third on
the reservation known as the Monument
grounds, At the corner OF 18th and B

from the principle upon which tho act
providing for the acquisition Of the "nve-
square, site was bssed. namely. that In
the emplacement Of future public build
ings they should be kept OF the Mall
and placed ~ far - possible within the
area lying between the Avenue ana that
