House Committee on the Library, In
opposition to the Borland bill, provid :
ing for Lincoln memorial road from
Washington to Gettysburg. He also
pointed out that IL the Lincoln Me-
mortal Commission decided to have the
proposed memorial take the form of a
boulevard between this city and Gettys-
burg, the roadway would undoubtedly
be lined with merry-go- rounds, drink
ing establishments, and road houses,
features that would distract from the
sacredness of the memorial
The legal phases of the proposed road
way we're outlined by A. S. Worthing-
ton. The Government should own the
right of way, he claimed, and this
would have the effect of cutting Mary
land in two, giving the United states
half mile strip OF land seventy miles
in length through that State. Mr..
Worthington declared no road ever
could be a memorial to man as great
as Lincoln.
Others who opposed the proposed
boulevard instead of the erection of a
Greek temple in Potomac Park were

BURSTING Boiler
BURNS MlNOI Man

MINOT. March 15-Louis Muhs
was seriously injured in the explosion
of hot water water boiler in he base,
ment of his house on Ward street at
S o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Muhs was testing boiler when
it exploded. A piece of iron struck
him in the side, and he was badly
burned by escaping steam. The fire
department was called out, but there
was no fire resulting from the explo-
sion.
The explosion caused a terrific
sound. The front part of the base
ment was blown out, causing consid.
cradle damage to the house.
The boiler as for the purpose of
heating water for the bath room and
was just being installed. Mr.. NUNS
was in the basement all alone, test
ing the boiler. All of a sudden there
was a terrific noise and the boiler
burst into a thousand pieces. Mr..
Muhs was surrounded with escaping
steam. which scalded him terribly
1t is thought that the explosion re.
suited from failure of the water to
circulate.

intense than in the earlier stages OF
the movement, the consular officers
report, but widespread antagonism
still exists among British shopkeep'
ers and criticism Is constant and
searching. The claim is made by op
posing interests that cooperative trad
ing can not compete with legitimate
retail trading and In support OF this
contention figures are gwen of gro
GERS prices and OF cooperative so
c4ety prices Of various food products
In which the grocers' figures are less
than those the cooperative So
cieties. It is noted in reference to
criticism of this character that the CO.
operative societies do not undertake
to sell at lower than current prices,
their aim being 20 give the purchaser
the benefit claimed for cooperative
purchasers by returning it in the form
of a dividend. The estimate is made
that for the United Kingdom as a
whole the dividends would average not
far from 9 per cent of the purchase
price paid by the cooperative pur-
chasers. The critics of the co-opera-
tive movement allege that these div
idends are obtained by sacrificing the
purity and excellence of the merchan.
disc furnished or by an actual raising
of prices to compensate for the
amount OF the dividends. The ma
jority of the consular reports seem to
infer that the dividends paid to pur.
chasing members do measure roughly
a real reduction in the prices Of the
commodities bought.

PRESIDENT TAFT TALKS !.
RELATIVE To COOPERATION
" and THE COST OF living

relation of the cooperative societies
to this subject would be Of great in
terest. -
1t is noticed that the increased reg
istration of cooperative societies in
recent years is probably due to the
impetus given in the organization Of
cooperative agricultural societies
through the parent Agricultural Or
ganization society. The cooperative
agricultural societies are aided by
the parent society in negotiations
with railway companies, government
departments. and business houses.
They are organized in much the same
manner as distributive societies. Sup
plies of all kinds are purchased joint
ly at wholesale. Farm produce is
graded and distributed through means
of. depots maintained in neighboring
towns or through selling. agents.
Markets are visited by agents who In
form the members as to the quality
and price Of produce.
The Cooperative union located at
Manchester has contributed greatly to
the formation and growth Of coopera-
tive societies generally. The objects
Of the union are diffusion Of infor-
nation in regard to the movement
and the assistance of individual SO.
.ctsties. 1t ntainssacommittees on
education, joint propaganda, legisla,
ton, exhibitions, trades unionism,
credit training and legal defense.
The development of cooperation in
the United Kingdom is continuing at
a fair rate although not so rapidly as
in the earlier years. The growth this
far has been confined to the wage la
boring classes. A study of the move
ment by localities shows that CO.
operation has flourished mainly in the
industrial and manufacturing dis
tricts. An example of the growth Of
individual societies and the manner In
which their activities have expanded
is found in the account given of a
cooperative society located at Leeds
which was founded in 1G47 for the
primary purpose Of securing cheaper
ftou., :; =.
British cooperation is affiliated
with the International Cooperative
which comprises the leading
cooperative organizations in the con-
countries OF Europe, and holds
congresses triennially.
Opposition on the part of non-co- oper-
alive tradesmen is now decidedly less
